Episode 12
Not bad, huh?
Who is it?
Who's there?
-Go after him! -Come back!
Go after him!
Catch him!
Stop!
Stop there!
Stop running!
Stop!
Stop running!
Stop!
Go get him!
He's there!
Stop! Hurry!
Stop!
Stop there!
Stop!
Hurry up!
-Hurry! -Stop!
Stop there!
-He's over there! -Stop!
-Stop!
Come on!
Stop!
Get him!
Stop!
-Stop! -Stop!
Hurry!
Stop!
Over here!
Stop!
Over here!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Get him!
Stop!
Follow me.
This way.
Stop!
Stop running!
Let's go back, in case we're exposed.
Let's go!
Back!
Alright, we're safe now.
They won't follow us here.
Where are you going?
To the authorities.
Have you forgotten about Riverside Resort?
You can't trust them.
Better them than you.
Do you believe
I can shut you up anytime?
Be my guest.
I have other ways to let them know.
Why are you hiding from the Ghetto officers?
They've had
enough suffering already.
They don't need to see me.
What if they did see you?
They'd feel upset.
Mother.
There, there.
Hang in there.
I am starving.
There, there. I know.
If the authorities find out
about the arsenal,
all the folks here
will be killed.
The folks
don't even want to see you anymore,
and yet you still care about them.
They have every right to hate me.
Have some water. You'll feel less hungry.
There, there.
My girl.
Let's have some water.
They built the arsenal
in the Ghetto.
No wonder the authorities couldn't find it.
Come.
I'll introduce you to someone
who knows the Ghetto better than the authorities.
Interior Guard Services
All the culprits
at the Liu Mansion have been arrested,
but the guard named Yuan Fei
is still at large.
I led a team
to search the Grand Court.
There was not a clue
about copper material
in the scrolls at the Liu Mansion
confiscated by Lord Gao.
Something's wrong indeed.
What on earth happened?
Who told you to confront him alone?
Why didn't you wait for us?
I once swore
at your friends' graves
that I'd clear their names.
Why did you ride roughshod over us
and fight alone?
Why have you been distraught
ever since we came back from the Liu Mansion?
Gao Bingzhu,
is it true
that you've never trusted me?
There are no more new leads about the Copper Mine.
Yuan Fei, the assassin,
is still at large.
Of course, I am distraught.
I see.
I'll work on it.
Ma'am,
Liu Ran asks to see you.
Liu Ran?
Yes.
Bingzhu,
why are you back again?
I need to ask you something.
This is Baili Hongyi.
This is my friend,
Officer Wang Dengcheng.
Greetings, Baili Hongyi.
Your name precedes you.
Where is my mother?
She's out.
Due to recent sudden weather change,
her arthritis came back.
I sent her to the clinic this morning.
What did the doctor say?
It's a chronic condition. She needs to rest.
Don't worry.
The syrup is not crystallized yet.
These Qiongguo candies
must've been freshly made.
If you like those,
I've got some that are ready to eat.
I'll pack some for you.
I meant to ask...
-I can assure you... -Do you know...
I bet the candies taste bitter.
Mother used to tell me over and over again
that you need to fully toast the sesame seeds
before putting them in the syrup.
Otherwise, the candy will taste bitter.
It's bitter, indeed.
Your mother is getting old.
She's forgotten about
toasting sesame seeds.
Try it.
You'd better rate it 'Satisfactory'
to cheer my mother up.
When I first met him,
he rated a lamb soup shop
'Satisfactory.'
He's the top gourmand in the capital.
He has to live up to the reputation.
You can ask any questions.
Officer Wang is on our side.
You can be candid.
This Qiongguo candy is a tad bitter, indeed.
Right. Have a seat.
Please.
Hongyi came to see me this morning.
I think he wanted to get back together with me.
It must've been hard
for him to come here.
However, I kept thinking about my uncle
and my father-in-law.
I don't know how to face him.
Therefore, I didn't meet him.
Siyue,
do you think I made a mistake?
Of course, not.
This case is complicated.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Stop blaming yourself!
Maybe you should invite him over
and explain everything.
Then, perhaps you'll work things out.
He's gone out since morning.
I don't know where to find him.
Perhaps, he's just gone for a walk
and will come back soon.
Shen Fei is with him. Don't worry.
Shen Fei?
But Shen Fei wasn't with him
when he went out this morning.
Siyue,
will anything
happen to him?
Don't worry just yet!
I'll send someone to find out.
An arsenal?
You didn't know?
Why would I know?
Where is it?
Who built it?
How is that even possible?
If someone did
build an arsenal in the Ghetto,
then, the situation would be out of our hands.
If that's the case,
the only option is to report to the authorities.
Stop!
You can't do that.
You didn't know. You're not an accomplice.
I am not thinking about myself.
If there is an arsenal here,
and they carry out an investigation,
the Ghetto will be ruined forever.
The authorities will sort things out.
Don't you worry!
Gao Bingzhu,
I think the two of us
should deal with it.
Don't you ever forget
that you used to be one of us!
If you go to the authorities,
all the folks in the Ghetto
will die.
If I don't go,
it'll lead to disastrous chaos.
If someone did
build an arsenal here...
Let me reiterate.
It will be out of our hands.
Let's go.
Don't just look!
Take him inside.
Ma'am,
Sui Xin, Interior Guard
the wanted poster
is done.
Please take a look.
Go find out
where Baili Hongyi is now.
Yes, ma'am.
Wanted
Yuan Fei?
He's always around my uncle.
He's awfully mysterious
and quiet.
I've always found him strange.
Since your uncle died,
he's been at large.
We're going to apprehend him.
What do you know
about this person?
He is...
My uncle
gave him a house.
A house?
Rope!
Here.
Baili Hongyi is stubborn.
We'll put up an act to shut him up
in case he suspects me in the future.
Bingzhu, I thought you were...
What's done is done.
We can't run away from it.
We can only count on ourselves
to deal with the arsenal.
I'll do as you say.
In fact, I've already found the arsenal.
It's near Kunjia Rocks.
However, it's heavily guarded.
We need to find another way in.
Okay.
There are tunnels for jade mining in that area.
We can go in through them.
Let's go.
Okay.
Search!
Ma'am,
it's empty.
We found a secret chamber.
Careful, Bingzhu.
Bingzhu,
will we make it?
Why don't we go back for reinforcements?
No need.
It'll make us an easier target.
Let's go.
What's wrong?
The walls are caving in.
People died due to the cave-in
at Kunjia Rocks last year.
This is the only tunnel left.
What? Scared?
If the walls did cave in,
we wouldn't be able to run away.
There's no point being scared.
The Ghetto is formed with ancient rocks.
There had never been a cave-in.
How come it suddenly happened last year?
Do you think
it has something to do with the arsenal?
Maybe.
This way.
Bingzhu.
Bingzhu, we're almost there.
Bingzhu,
on second thought,
this is very dangerous.
Are we putting ourselves at risk
going in there unprepared?
Let's go back
and make a plan, shall we?
No, time is tight.
There's no time for plans.
Let's go and find out.
Bingzhu,
what's behind the arsenal
must be complicated.
Besides, you're a wanted man.
Just stay out of it!
Your mother...
Have you thought about her?
She's old and weak.
You need to take care of her.
She might be okay without me,
but she can't live without you.
Leave this to me.
I swear to you on my life
that I will keep the Ghetto safe.
Just do as I say.
Go back.
But the copper used by the arsenal
is most likely
smuggled by Liu Xiang from the Copper Mine.
It means the Four Season Divine is involved.
You know that
I've been looking for the Divine for five years.
Only by finding the Divine
will I be able to find the murderer
and avenge Xiaowu's death.
I can't miss this opportunity.
I'll go first.
If anything happens...
Dengcheng,
our top priority is to stay alive.
At least one of us
should go out alive.
Come.
Other than this chamber,
the scrolls and documents in other rooms
have all been moved away.
It's likely that Yuan Fei has been killed.
Killed?
If he was killed,
none of these would be left here.
But if he wanted to run away,
he would pack some valuables.
What do you mean?
Even though Liu Xiang is dead,
Yuan Fei must still have other missions.
Send my order.
Search the entire city.
Yes, ma'am.
Forgive me, Bingzhu.
I'll make up for my wrongdoings in the future.
You can yell at me or beat me!
I'll even kneel to you.
However, you need to do as I say today.
Keep yourself alive!
Wang Dengcheng!
It's you who betrayed the Ghetto.
Have you no conscience at all?
Bingzhu,
the arsenal is right beneath the Ghetto.
If you go to the authorities,
all the folks here will be killed.
Understood?
Are you threatening me?
I'm talking sense into you.
For the sake of the Ghetto,
your only option is to work with me.
Don't you want all your friends
to leave the Ghetto?
This is the best opportunity.
What opportunity?
Colluding with outsiders
and bringing chaos to the Ghetto?
Bingzhu,
you led us to fight with our lives
and guard the capital back then.
Look where that got you!
You're not welcomed by the Ghetto.
There are wanted posters of you
all over the capital.
I am the only one
that still cares about your life.
I think of you as my brother.
Will I ever harm you?
Still, I can't watch you
drag the Ghetto down into the abyss.
I still need to avenge
the death of Xiaowu and others.
Bingzhu, listen to me!
I know
you've always wanted
to catch the murderer.
I promise you.
Join me in the Divine,
and I will bring
the murderer to you.
You and I,
let's avenge Xiaowu together.
What do you say?
My lord.
Weren't there two people?
We've sent people to catch the other one.
I just talked him into joining the Divine.
Song Liang, Minister of War
Gao Bingzhu.
Lord Song.
Someone!
Tie him up!
It was you!
Surprised?
Indeed.
Sir, a secret letter for you.
Copper was found at the Liu Mansion.
Please, sir, come to the Liu Mansion
and get details from the Ministry of War.
Prepare a carriage.
I'm going to the Liu Mansion.
It was you that found out about Riverside Resort.
It was also you
that found out about the arsenal under the Ghetto.
I didn't expect you to be this capable.
I admire someone like you.
I am mortified.
I did all this
only for revenge.
Revenge...
I can help you with that.
Rest assured.
I've learned about
what you've been through.
It's just that you are now
blinded by hatred.
Yet, you don't even know
where the hatred came from.
Let me tell you something.
Your enemy
is the evil Empress
who's caused all the injustice.
Don't you want to
fight your way to the Empress
and confront her on behalf of
your deceased friends?
They're all citizens of the capital.
Why are the lives of the Ghetto officers
worth nothing to her?
Lord Song, what are you saying?
You were a lowborn
with no one to support you,
and yet you've been fighting against the Divine.
How courageous you are!
I admire that.
Therefore, I want to tell you that
we are about to
achieve the greater good.
As long as
you're willing to join the Divine
and help me along the way,
you'll have all the fortune
in the great capital.
Lord Song,
is it so easy for you
to achieve the greater good?
The Empress spies on us via the Intelligence Services
and conducts misdeeds via the Interior Guard Services.
The former is now shattered.
Once we destroy the Interior Guard Services,
I can then send out an army
to kill the Empress.
Destroying the Interior Guard Services?
I think that by now,
the interior guards
are about to lose their leader.
What are you doing here?
Come back! Stay inside.
Sir, the message from Lord Song
has been sent to the Interior Guard Services.
This is the only route
for Wu Youjue to get to the Liu Mansion.
For the greater good,
we've got to kill him today.
Yes, sir.
Are you still mulling?
I only told you all this
because I think you can be of use.
If you don't want to listen,
then...
I don't see the need
to waste my time with you.
Since the Divine has made plans
to destroy the Interior Guard Services,
I don't think
they will be able to turn the tides.
I do have a request, though.
Since you know
I've been looking for
the murderer with the halberd,
I'd like to ask you to hand him over
at my disposal.
I suppose
you'll do this for me, right?
Okay.
One shall let go of the trifles for the greater good
and focus on the big picture.
As long as you help me
achieve the greater good,
I'll leave that murderer at your disposal.
Deal.
I, Gao Bingzhu,
will be at your service from now on, my lord,
and achieve the greater good with you.
Mix the best copper from Mount Lian Copper Mine
with liquid iron,
and you'll get
incredibly sharp blades.
Be it the Dragon Force
or the Phoenix Force,
neither of them has weapons
as great as what I have here.
I'll use these blades
to kill that evil Empress, who murdered her son and husband,
and made people's life miserable.
Today, I will bring her to justice.
Kill them!
-Kill them! -Charge!
My lord!
Leave!
Why are you so late?
Weren't you worried
that I didn't get your hint?
Greetings, Baili Hongyi.
Your name precedes you.
Where is my mother?
She's out.
Due to recent sudden weather change,
her arthritis came back.
I sent her to the clinic this morning.
The Qiongguo candies are freshly made.
How could she be sent
to the clinic in the morning?
The syrup is not crystallized yet.
These candies
must've been freshly made.
If you like those,
I've got some that are ready to eat.
I'll pack some for you.
Mother used to tell me over and over again
that you need to fully toast the sesame seeds
before putting them in the syrup.
It's bitter.
Your mother is getting old.
Gao Bingzhu never complains about food.
Here.
Try it.
You'd better rate it 'Satisfactory'
to cheer my mother up.
It doesn't taste bitter at all.
When I first met him,
he rated a lamb soup shop
'Satisfactory.'
Gao Bingzhu knows
that I've never rated any lamb soup.
You can ask any questions.
Officer Wang is on our side.
You can be candid.
He said all the wrong things
to remind me
that Wang Dengcheng is suspicious.
This Qiongguo candy is a tad bitter, indeed.
You can't go to the authorities.
You didn't know.
You're not an accomplice.
I am not thinking about myself.
If there is an arsenal here,
and they carry out an investigation,
the Ghetto will be ruined forever.
If I don't go,
it'll lead to disastrous chaos.
Gao Bingzhu
didn't want me to go to the authorities.
He's giving me hints.
Let's go.
In fact, I've already found the arsenal.
It's near Kunjia Rocks.
It's the Worker's knot.
Worker's knot?
Yes.
I invented this knot.
Gao Bingzhu saw it once.
I'm surprised he learned how to do it.
He knew you could untie it,
so he tied a Worker's knot
so that you could get out.
Gao Bingzhu did all this
to deceive Wang Dengcheng.
He was suspicious of Wang Dengcheng.
Wang Dengcheng?
Is he linked with whoever's behind all this?
I suspect
it's someone from the Ministry of War.
Ministry of War?
I think Liu Xiang stole copper
from the Copper Mine to make weapons.
I could only take a glance.
I didn't see them clearly,
but the weapons they made
were similar to those at the Ministry of War.
I think they're using the same molds.
Someone that commands an army
and can make use of these weapons...
-Song Liang. -Song Liang.
If that's true,
I'm afraid he's planning a coup.
I need a favor.
What?
Don't bring chaos to the Ghetto.
My lord.
Over here.
Shoot!
Go!
It's a trap! Retreat!
Ma'am.
Where is Sir Wu?
Ministry of War sent a message,
saying they've found copper
inside the Liu Mansion.
He's about to go there and check.
Oh, no!
Brother!
Song Liang is suspicious.
Don't move!
Don't move! Stay down!
Gao Bingzhu!
Come here!
Get Song Liang!
It's okay.
Go!
That way.
Stop!
Song Liang,
you're bound to lose.
What's the point of fighting us?
Fighting?
I've fought wars all my life.
I'm not afraid of losing.
We're about to achieve the greater good.
I'll die without regrets.
You evil Empress!
Listen up!
I'll wait for you in hell!
Baili Hongyi!
Baili Yan, the Minister of Works,
had always been dedicated and selfless.
Why did you kill him?
He chose the wrong side
and insisted on serving the evil Empress.
He got in our way to the greater good,
so he had to die.
I don't care about the evil Empress
or the greater good.
I just want to know
why you killed
my father
just for your own good.
Your father?
Your father was nothing
but a tiny slug to me.
He got in the way,
so I killed him.
Baili Hongyi,
put down the knife.
Do you have the guts to kill me now?
Kill me.
Kill me to avenge the death of your father.
Do it, I dare you!
I dare you!
Come on, kill me!
Do it! Come on!
