Episode 8
Ever since then,
I'm alive because I want to take revenge.
I've been searching for
the murderer who held a hand halberd
for five years.
I want to look for him
and kill him,
so that my friends under the nether world
could die in peace.
Me, Gao Bingzhu,
will not be embarrassed to see them.
You're awake.
I'm sorry for what had happened just now.
I'm drunk.
I'm not skilled,
but this can be counted as a tombstone.
The Unwelcome's People: Chen Buyi
And all these.
Just put them up
in front of their graves.
The Unwelcome's People: Xiaowu
Thank you.
Let me show you something.
What's that?
Shen Fei,
I've to meet Master Xunshan tomorrow.
Master Xunshan?
But I have to think of
a valid reason.
Miss Liu is Master Xunshan's
niece.
Logically,
after both of you get married,
you should both together
go back and visit him.
If Erlang wants to
meet Master Xunshan,
you could have just gone back with Miss Liu.
That'd be fine.
I always think that
there's something strange with Master Baili's incident,
it turns out that Liu Xiang is the mastermind.
There's no evidence yet.
If he's the murderer,
then he's my target.
We can cooperate.
Liu Xiang
secretly exchanged Lianshan's copper ore,
I'm sure he has the relevant account books.
Based on my understanding,
on the sixth day of every month,
he'll go to worship.
On the tenth day,
he'll go to Zhoushan and have Chan training with eminent monks.
On the fifteenth day,
he'll go to Zhoushan to have Chan training with eminent monks.
Tomorrow is the tenth day,
he'll bring
all his subordinates to Zhoushan.
The mansion will be empty at that time,
we can go and search for the account books.
It'd be the best time to do so.
You want to sneak into Liu Xiang's mansion?
He has a lot of subordinates.
If you go,
you'll put yourself in trouble.
This is the only clue,
I have to go.
I'll help you.
Can you help me get
the map for Liu Xiang's mansion?
I'll give you tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 3 p.m.,
Liu Xiang will be back to the mansion for sure.
I can only wait until noon.
Before noon,
let's meet at the Tongji canal near Chunhua Lane.
Promise me that
don't take any actions on your own.
Baili's mansion
Miss Liu,
Maid from the Liu family: Yunzhi
let me do it.
How could you do it?
If you do it,
how could Erlang feel
my kind feelings?
There's some misfortune in this mansion.
All the servants
have been dismissed.
And all these labor works
have to be done by yourself.
Help me to take a look.
How's it? Is that enough?
Regarding the visit to relatives,
how could I tell Miss Liu?
Erlang, are you there?
Erlang.
What happened?
I cooked this pepper soup.
Have a try.
This is for you.
No,
I forgot about it.
It's only in the morning that
you'll drink pepper soup.
Sometimes, I'll drink it in the evening.
Is it nice?
Not bad.
By the way,
I heard that
newly married couple has to visit relatives,
why didn't you go back to Master Xunshan's mansion?
Shen Fei told me about it.
Just ask him if you have any questions.
The soup tastes not bad.
I knew it.
Even though you didn't say it,
but you still care about me.
Master Xunshan's mansion
Uncle.
Why are you back?
Hi, Uncle.
Of course it's because I miss you, Uncle.
Miss me?
Did you have any grievances?
Never.
It's just that I miss you.
Erlang,
show respect to Uncle.
Erlang is ineloquent.
Please forgive him, Uncle.
Erlang reminded me about this.
According to customs, I should have come back earlier.
So that means
Erlang from the Baili family
is not that ignorant.
Erlang,
Uncle is talking to you.
That's the way of us visiting relatives.
Liu Ran,
you know that every tenth day of the month,
I'll have Chan training at Zhoushan.
But for your
filial affection,
I'm going to make an exception today.
Prepare a feast,
cook all dishes that Liu Ran like.
This is what you want.
Thank you.
Yuehua has a holy mandate,
the Joint Corps will not ask
what you want to do,
but...
Don't worry, Official Han.
I'll not get the Joint Corps in trouble.
If you want to visit
the Master Xunshan's mansion today,
I'm afraid that it's not the right time.
Erlang,
Uncle specially asked people
to prepare the dishes that you like.
There are roasted chicken from Taohua Lane,
carp from Shaanzhou,
and mushrooms from Funiu Mountain.
Uncle, you are so considerate.
Today is your first day of visiting relatives,
how could I take it lightly?
Your father and I
are best friends,
we have known each other for a long time.
Last month, your father was sitting
at the same place where you are sitting now.
It feels like just yesterday.
Erlang,
now that you are married,
you're the master of a family.
You should not behave
perversely like how you were before.
Wait until your three years of mourning period is over,
I'll give you
a job in the royal court.
Erlang,
don't look directly into Uncle,
it's a bit rude.
Erlang.
Since you mentioned my father,
I'm curious...
if my father were still alive,
and if he sit here,
Master Xunshan,
did you have anything to tell him?
Erlang.
Uncle,
Erlang never drinks alcohol.
I'll drink a toast to you.
I toast this to my father.
Uncle.
I'll go and clean up for a while.
I'll go with you.
No need.
Erlang.
Uncle.
Did you get it?
I thought you would not...
I have promised you,
it'll not be changed.
Stand there.
I've never seen you in the mansion,
who are you?
This is Erlang from the Baili family.
You're Baili Erlang.
Please forgive me, Baili Erlang.
Outsiders are prohibited from walking around in the mansion.
I can't even take a look?
Or am I an outsider?
This is not just a map.
This is the detailed version
of the building plan of the mansion of Master Xunshan.
Where did you get it from?
It's unrelated to the case,
you don't have to know.
Follow him.
-Yes. -Yes.
An ordinary person will not get
the building plan.
Tell me,
where did you get it from?
You don't have to care about it.
If I don't know
the source of this building plan,
how could I believe if it's real?
I asked for it from the Joint Corps.
The Joint Corps?
The Joint Corps have the responsibility to monitor everything.
They are everywhere and they know everything.
So this building plan must be real.
You don't have to be worried.
So,
every time that you could follow me,
it's because of the news from the Joint Corps?
The little boy from the Baili family?
Thank you.
Wait.
Today is not the right timing.
Baili Erlang and Miss Liu
are visiting relatives.
Liu Xiang is in the mansion now.
He didn't go to Zhoushan for Chan training.
Baili Erlang's father
has just passed away,
and he has the mood to visit relatives.
Miss Liu and Erlang just got married,
and it is time for them to visit relatives.
This is the custom.
Anything wrong?
Baili Erlang that you know
is someone who will follow the custom?
Miss Liu has been listening to Erlang blindly.
If this matter
has been mentioned by Erlang voluntarily...
Baili Erlang is in danger.
You came here,
is it because you're interested in
my account room?
I passed by here,
I see that this room
is built with a rare seven layers of bucket arch.
I'm just curious,
I don't mean to trespass.
If that's the case,
then I've been worrying too much.
But why do I feel that
you came to my house not because of visiting relatives,
but it was for your own motives?
Yuan Fei.
Liu Xiang's escort: Yuan Fei
Erlang.
Uncle.
I thought we were having a meal.
Why everyone is here?
Uncle.
What happened?
Erlang,
are you lost?
Uncle,
Erlang doesn't know about the rules.
Please forgive him.
I'm afraid that he's lost on purpose.
Yuan Fei,
let Liu Ran excuse herself.
Yes.
Why do I have to excuse myself?
What did you want to do with Erlang?
Liu Ran, did you forget?
I have set a rule that
I'll kill whoever trespasses into the account room.
Did you remember about it now?
So today, Master Xunshan
is going to take action on me?
Yes.
-Report to Master Xunshan... -Uncle...
The inner guard Yuehua requests.
I'll not meet her.
She wants to meet Miss Liu.
Yue.
Why were you here?
I heard that today, you and Erlang
are here to visit relatives.
It happens that I'm at around this area,
I pay a visit here.
Where's Erlang?
Why didn't I see him?
Erlang?
Yes,
you have not met him for a long time.
You should have a gathering with him today.
Go and invite Erlang.
Yuan Fei.
Yes.
Shangshan Lane: Qiquan Hot Spring House
This is the tea house
our inner guards always visit,
no one will disturb us here.
Why did you bring me here?
Gao Bingzhu saved you today.
Why did you go to Liu Xiang's mansion?
No matter what I do,
how is that relevant to you?
I don't care if you want to put yourself in trouble.
But if your reckless actions
block my ways,
I'll take away your live.
It seems that
you plan to go Master Xunshan's mansion as well.
Mine was reckless,
then yours is considered a calm action?
Erlang.
I know you went to Liu Xiang's mansion
to look for evidence.
But your rash action
is very dangerous.
I have to go.
Where are we going?
Liu Xiang has been hiding deeply.
Now, I see that
those who know about Lianshan's copper ore
will be killed.
Instead of searching for evidence,
I should take actions when he's out of the mansion.
Gao Bingzhu.
Arresting and interrogating criminals
are what the officials should do,
it's not something that you can do.
If the officials could do this,
would Baili Yan die?
It's true that the officials are not reliable.
No matter what,
we should not go against the law.
If we were to be overcautious,
when could we get the evidence?
But if you go and arrest Liu Xiang,
and accidentally kill him,
then my father's case
can never be investigated anymore.
So we have to cooperate,
at least we can't block each other's way.
Everyone please have a seat.
We have to plan this
from the beginning.
You guys want to continue wasting time?
The most urgent thing now
is to find
the account books from Chuiliu Corporation
so that we can prove Liu Xiang's crime.
I ask you,
did you find anything from Liu Xiang's mansion?
I'm asking you.
Since we're cooperating,
you should be more polite.
Erlang,
did you find anything at Liu Xiang's mansion?
I found Liu Xiang's account room.
Then did Liu Xiang
know that
you're looking for the account books?
It's possible.
Where's the account room?
As you could foresee,
Baili Hongyi went to Huang An's house.
Huang An has been killed by me.
Accordingly,
I think he won't get anything.
But he knows I'm involved.
Is it possible that he has found something
from you?
Do you want me to...
get rid of him?
Qiquan Hot Spring House
The day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow is the Princess Yongchuan's birthday.
The Eastern Palace will be having a feast.
Liu Xiang will be attending.
Alright.
I'll go and search for it at that time.
But Liu Xiang
will not stay for a long time at the Eastern Palace.
I can attend the ceremony at the Eastern Palace
and restrain Liu Xiang there.
Okay.
I'll help you there.
East Palace
Baili Erlang is here.
You are not interested in such events.
How could you be
willing to come here today?
Secretary Huan and Yuehua are here.
Yue,
you've been busying with works,
Secretary: Yang Huan
but you purposely come
to the Eastern Palace with me.
I'll remember about your kindness.
This is part of my work,
thank you, Secretary Huan.
There are a lot of guests today,
please be careful when doing things,
Princess Yongchuan: Li Lu
don't make any mistakes.
Yes.
Your Highness,
Her Majesty knows that
you like this Unifon's
cleansing mud mask,
today is your birthday,
Her Majesty instructs me to send two bottles for you.
This mud masks are very valuable.
Only few bottles
will be produced in a month.
All the other princesses are
very jealous over you.
Great grandmother is really nice to me.
I'm leaving.
Where's Yue?
Erlang,
I've prepared
a fan with silk tapestry,
a fan with glaze tapestry,
and a fan with peony tapestry
specially tailored by
embroideries from Jiangnan.
Erlang, which one is better?
Master Xunshan's mansion
Erlang.
Which one is better?
Anyone is fine.
Secretary Huan, Yue.
Your Highness.
Secretary Huan.
I am here to wish happy birthday to you,
and always stay healthy.
Thank you, Secretary Huan.
Master Xunshan's mansion has three halls,
South East point,
at the fifth corner,
it should be here.
Master Xunshan is here.
Uncle.
I thought you wouldn't come here.
Yue.
It's your birthday today,
of course I have to come.
My brother has to settle some works,
he asked me to send a set of
gold plates from the Persian.
I've sent to the side yard.
Thank you.
Erlang.
Master Xunshan.
Your Majesty.
I was having a competition with the Persian prince's
horseback ball's team.
I'm almost running late.
But
I won
his Persian lute,
I will give it to Princess Yongchuan as a gift.
Yue.
Why are you dressed up in this way again?
There will be
some nice guys today,
I want you to go with me.
Today, I sent Secretary Huan here,
it's not convenient.
Then you accompany me to have some talks,
it should be okay.
Right?
You don't have to be
with me all the time today.
Just go with the princess,
you just have to come with me later.
Yes.
It's my birthday today.
It's only a small request,
can't you do it for me?
This...
Let's go.
Be careful.
Erlang.
To get rid of Baili Erlang,
is it very difficult for you?
I have a request.
He is Liu Ran's husband,
if he doesn't create any problem anymore,
can we just leave him?
But Baili Hongyi
will not get away with this matter easily.
Elegant Residence
Mother.
Your Highness.
Try this.
It is very nice.
The wine and dishes today are very nice.
Erlang.
Try this.
Crown Princess: Lady Du
Come, mother.
Thanks for your hospitality today.
This feast at the Eastern Palace
is well-deserved.
The fact that the guests are enjoying it
is the honor of the host.
Everyone please enjoy.
I've assigned more people to strengthen our arrangement.
Since the house that he found last time
was our trap,
if he has the courage to step in,
I can assure him that...
he has no chance to be alive.
How do you know that this is the account room?
Liu Xiang mentioned it.
How could Liu Xiang
admit that it was the account room?
Would a mouse tell a cat about
its own cave?
It's quite late by now,
everyone should go back and have some rest.
That's all for today.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Thank you.
Think about it.
Any more clues?
How?
Sure.
It's rare that Baili Erlang is here today.
As a gastronomist,
what do you think about the feast today?
It's very nice.
The best gastronomist in the capital said that it was nice.
My preparation is not wasted.
If not because of Your Highness' birthday today,
we won't get to enjoy this delicious food.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Come on, everyone.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Since everyone is in the mood,
why don't we add on some wines and dishes,
and everyone just enjoy it.
Sure.
Let's have a seat, everyone.
Have a seat.
Your Highness,
I'm drunk,
I'll take a move first.
Crown princess, princess,
I'm also drunk,
I'll leave with King Dongchuan.
Your Highness,
King Dongchuan and Master Xunshan
haven't tasted the dessert.
You mentioned that because of your birthday,
you have invited some western chefs.
We haven't tasted it.
Yes,
I almost forgot about it.
Siyue is very thoughtful.
Please wait for a while.
I'll ask people
to serve the dessert.
Think about it.
What clues do we have?
A snake lock.
A snake lock?
I passed by a house,
the house looks normal,
but the lock
is the snake lock
made by Directorate from the palace.
A snake lock
is usually being used at some confidential places.
They'll not use it
for a normal room.
Do you remember
where's the room?
It should be here.
So the real account room
could be here.
Mother.
Your Highness,
this dessert is very delicious,
but I am of old age already,
I can't eat dessert.
Everyone please enjoy it,
I am leaving.
The others do not matter,
but I heard that the western chefs'
date pastries are different.
The pastries outside
are so tender that it melts in the mouth.
Master Xunshan,
don't you want to taste it before leaving?
