Episode 20
Agent Yize
My lord,
I am innocent!
My lord!
I know you won't
say anything.
You killed an executive agent
and tried to destroy my Services.
Do you think
I'll end your life
that easily?
He didn't say anything?
He's stubborn.
He'll die if we continue to torture him.
These are the messages Hua Qingzhi sent
after he was promoted as Agent Yize.
The secret he leaked to the Divine
must be hidden in here.
We should be able to find clues in these.
The 23rd of June
is the day Agent Han was killed.
We shall focus on the days around it.
On the 23rd of June,
a guest made a scene at Fashan Temple.
Three people were severely injured.
It's here.
Fashan Temple
I asked Agent Han to meet me here.
He will help us.
There wasn't any guest
making a scene that day.
Baili Hongyi, Madam Wu,
and I were the only three people there.
The three people mentioned here
are likely to be the three of you.
Right?
Go find out who this message was sent to.
Yes.
Come on.
Great.
Great job!
Get up!
Again!
Come on!
Harder!
Again!
Come on!
Sui Xin, Interior Guard
You were too slow.
Watch out!
Great!
Don't look at me! Look at him!
You were not steady on your feet.
Nice job, man!
If you were this distracted on the battlefield,
you'd be killed.
If you weren't there messing with me,
how could I be distracted?
Again!
Agent Gao!
Agent Gao,
Madam Wu of the Interior Guard Services is here to see you.
She's in the secret chamber.
Madam Wu?
Yes.
-I... -I've...
You go first.
I've caught the mole in our Services.
Internal affairs of the Intelligence Services
do not concern me.
He leaked confidential information.
Han Dongqing died because of him.
Now that I've caught him,
I'm halfway done
in avenging Han's death.
I know that
his death
placed a burden on your soul.
I know how that feels.
It's suffocating.
Buddhist Texts Library
You've had too many burdens on your soul.
I only wish I can share them with you.
My burdens
are none of your business.
I'm done.
It's likely that
the 16th Night is a woman.
Merits Casino
Gao Bingzhu!
Gao Bingzhu, where are you going?
Please wait here.
Madam Wu,
Lord Chu asks to see you.
My lord.
Greetings, my lord.
Did Gao Bingzhu tell you
about Agent Han?
It's confidential information.
Gao Bingzhu didn't tell me anything.
I asked you here
so that we can send our prayers to Agent Han
for the last time.
This is the past of Agent Han.
Han Dongqing, Confidential
Once it's archived,
he'll become
Han Dongqing, male, 30
one of the countless registers here.
After a century,
a millennium,
who will still remember
that he ever existed
in this world?
Madam Wu,
they say
an executive agent is just a title.
They stay by my side,
work for me, risk their lives for me,
and take care of the Services for me.
It's a shame that
Agent Han was so unique.
There will only be the one and only Agent Han.
A man's whole life
can be condensed into one register.
My lord, rest assured!
I will catch the murderers of the Divine,
so that Agent Han can rest in peace.
In the world,
Han Dongqing, male, 30
people come first, then the state.
The monarch comes last.
Our Services is the ears and eyes of Her Majesty,
but we are protecting
Loyal, kind, brave, determined
more than Her Majesty.
The eyes at Qianmu Chamber
are not only keeping a lookout
for Luoyang, the imperial capital,
but for all the people in our country.
Reliable, a man of integrity
Therefore,
for those people,
I will not back down
even if I need to fight against ten Divines.
Loyal, kind, brave, determined, reliable, a man of integrity
How refreshing!
House of Courage
I've never seen someone like him.
Sir Li,
I can't watch over Baili Hongyi anymore.
He wanted us to buy him abalone soup at Star House.
Or, he'd go there himself.
The soup costs fifty coins.
Fifty!
It's half of my monthly salary!
Yes.
Well...
When I was practicing,
he would stand there
to distract me.
I hurt my back.
When I was transcribing wanted posters,
he said that I held the pen wrong
Fan Changling, Interior Guard
and my strokes were weak.
I did it all wrong.
Alright, that's enough!
House of Courage
Baili Hongyi,
the guards said...
The layout here is not right.
There's something wrong with the axis.
Based on the topography,
you should apply
the axis of symmetry.
And,
there are a lot of bumps
on the ground.
You'd get hurt more easily
when practicing.
And the Dougong brackets
are misplaced.
Baili Hongyi,
I know you just want to
leave this place.
Stop thinking about it!
Alright.
Just go back to work.
I'll just walk around.
Throw him in the dungeon!
Yes.
Hold on!
Don't hurt him!
Yes.
Interior Guard Services
What do you want?
Baili Hongyi, my husband, is in there.
I am here to bring him back.
The Interior Guard Services is of high authority.
You can't go in there.
Madam Wu of your Services
is a friend of mine.
Please let her know that
Liu Ran of the Baili Mansion
asks to see her.
Madam Wu is out.
Out?
Well...
Your Services held my husband in detention.
Did he break the law?
If not,
you need to
give me an explanation.
We're in Luoyang, the imperial capital!
You need to do things
in compliance with the rules!
Can you please tell me
if he's okay?
Someone will get to you
Interior Guard Services
if we want you to know anything.
Please, my lady, go back.
Go in!
You will get food and drinks.
Stay in here and behave yourself
before Madam Wu gives an order.
Shut the door.
Yes.
Sir Li,
I am Li Ji.
We met at Tianxiang House.
I didn't kill that outlander.
I am innocent!
What did you do?
Nothing.
Li Ji, member of the royal family
Then, how come you're kept
in the dungeon here?
I was involved in a murder case
but I am innocent.
I merely gave him a nudge.
I didn't expect him to fall on the ground
and bleed through his eyes.
Get lost！
How could that count as murder?
Bleeding through eyes?
My father bribed the coroner.
The coroner said his organs were rotten.
How could I have done that to him?
Rotten organs?
It's rattle poison.
It kills people instantly.
The victims will look the same, but the organs will rot.
Rattle poison was invented in the West.
It is a unique poison.
It kills people instantly.
Was he wounded in any way?
The coroner said
only his organs were rotten
as if he had been dead
for months.
Any chronic conditions?
I don't think there is any.
He didn't look like
a sick person to me.
Sounds like rattle poison again.
What poison?
Do you know the name
of that outlander?
Where is his body now?
Merits Casino
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.
You came.
Long time no see.
Why are you acting like a stranger?
How did you become so rich?
You're all dressed up!
Want a drink?
Sure.
I've reserved some quality
Qianhe wine for you.
Dear guests,
we're closing early today.
Come back tomorrow.
Is it done?
Yes.
This is the latest map.
Sir, someone is here to see you.
Who is it?
Hongyi, my husband,
is held in the Interior Guard Services for no reason.
Siyue is not around.
Sir, can you give me an explanation?
Manners!
Is Baili Hongyi kept in the Services?
Yes.
Why are you standing here?
Lord Hongyi, please.
I am sorry.
Every time I come here,
you treat me to the finest wine.
You make me feel at home.
Thank you.
How long have we known each other?
Seven years, five months,
and three days.
Time flies!
Indeed.
I remembered that the casino back then
wasn't this spacious.
The owner back then
was Master Kang.
You told me he was your husband.
Then,
he owed too much debt
and suddenly disappeared.
You've been through a lot.
All these years,
you've been running
such a large casino on your own.
I owe my gratitude to all my friends,
especially you.
Over the years,
you've drunk for me,
collected debts for me,
and kept me safe
when people tried to stir up trouble.
Thank you.
I joined the Intelligence Services.
I know.
It was where Hua Qingzhi spent over a decade as a mole.
I know.
You replaced Han Dongqing.
So, it is you.
Yes.
It's me.
Why didn't you kill me?
I don't have the heart.
All of my friends died
five years ago.
I was the only one that survived.
Chen Que of the Grand Court was killed,
but the assassin let me go.
It's not that I've never suspected you.
It's just that I don't want to.
Yao,
you've gone to all that trouble
just for me.
Finally, this day has come.
Finally, I don't have to
hide my identity from you.
Today,
I want to tell you my story.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Do you know?
When I was little,
my father sold me
to an outlander
that was passing by
in exchange for a bag of rice.
Do you know
who that outlander was?
Someone in the Divine.
Father!
My father didn't even look back.
He just left.
Then, the Divine
recruited hundreds of kids like me.
We were kept together
and taught martial arts.
We were taught how to kill.
Do you know what the first mission
the Divine assigned me was?
To kill.
To kill all of those people.
To kill all the other kids.
Only three of us
could survive.
I was thinking,
'Only three can live.
It's either me
or...'
Never mind.
I shall kill.
Kill!
At last,
I was the only one alive
because the other two
were killed by me.
At that moment, I realized that
it doesn't matter
if you're noble, poor, good, or bad.
As long as you can stay alive
and accomplish your mission,
you can kill
all you want.
You can kill all you want?
So, you killed Master Kang?
He was never your husband.
He was your target.
I failed the mission.
Master Kang, disciple of Four Season Divine
I will take punishment
from the Lord of Autumn.
Why are you doing this?
She said that
you don't need to go back.
Yao,
I've been staying
in Luoyang for about ten years.
I've been running Merits Casino
for half a decade.
I've done a lot
for the Lord of Autumn.
If you kill me now,
what the Divine
has achieved in Luoyang over the years
will go to waste, Yao.
I know I botched the mission
because I wanted to
take credit.
The Lord of Autumn always listens to you.
Please, ask her to show mercy.
Please, I have always been...
Kang,
the Lord of Autumn has asked me
to take over Merits Casino
from now on.
Then, one day,
I met you.
I realized that
life could be different.
You shall pay back the debt
owed by Master Kang when he was alive.
If you're a smart lady,
then come home with me.
I'll give you everything you want.
How's that sound?
Huh?
Do you all want to die?
Do you know who I am?
I am a Ghetto officer!
Listen carefully!
She's my girl.
If you dare to even touch her,
I will cut off your tongues
to feed dogs.
It's only right and proper to pay back your debt.
If you don't get in my way,
I'll let you go today.
Otherwise...
What's your name?
Yao.
Yao,
be my witness.
No matter how many people
are killed today,
if the authorities ask,
it's these people that started it.
Step back.
Further back.
Boss...
I'll show mercy to you today.
Let's wait and see.
Let's go.
Thank you.
It was nothing.
I wanted to
kill someone for fun.
You are a woman.
It's not easy to run a casino in Luoyang on your own.
If it's too taxing,
sell it and live a comfortable life.
Sir!
What's your name?
Gao Bingzhu.
I was too naive back then.
I played the hero to save you.
You are a killer
who's taken countless lives.
You knew all along
that I wouldn't kill them.
Back then,
you were only trying to scare off those rascals.
I was just amazed that
you'd never killed before,
and yet, you were willing to do it
for me, a total stranger!
I was so moved.
However,
it was too late.
I met you too late in life.
I couldn't stop what I was doing.
Five years ago,
you and your friends showed up
where you were not supposed to.
You don't have the right to talk about them!
Are we there?
Almost. Over there!
Well...
Bingzhu!
They're all dead.
All dead.
These hands...
You stabbed my friends to death with these hands, right?
I was so foolish that
I thought of you as my closest friend.
Five years later,
you killed that man and his daughter.
Kill the informers
His daughter was only 12 years old.
Do you know that?
Then, you killed Chen Que.
You left the halberd on the spot on purpose,
because you knew I'd follow up on it.
Indeed, I found that the halberd
was made with copper from Mount Lian.
Copper from Mount Lian
could only be connected with Baili Yan.
So, you went the extra miles
to lure me to the Baili Mansion,
hoping to frame Baili Yan's death
on me.
Is there any way to get me
into the wedding at the Baili Mansion?
To make me give up on the investigation,
you brought all those boatmen
to have a row here.
They were so loud 'cause they wanted to attract my attention.
Then, you lured me
on the boat
to fight against you.
You made me think I had killed the 16th Night.
If I hadn't done all that,
you would've been dead long ago.
There were countless times when you got in my way
and disrupted the Divine's plan.
If others did that,
I'd kill them without hesitation.
You were so determined on the investigation.
I couldn't even fool you
even if I had someone pretend to be me.
As the 16th Night,
I should've killed you hundreds of times.
As Yao, however,
I couldn't do it.
You went to all that trouble for me.
Still,
you figured everything out.
The 16th Night...
Wait for me here.
Where did Gao Bingzhu go?
What's he investigating?
I don't know.
Where did he go?
Who is he meeting?
I don't know.
You should know him well.
Over the years,
he's been willing to risk his life
to avenge his friends' death.
Since he joined you,
he's become one of you.
Do you
want him to be killed?
Can you
or Lord Chu
protect him?
I can.
Tell me where he is.
Why did you shave your beard?
It's time.
It's your last chance. Kill both Gao Bingzhu and Baili Hongyi
The 16th Night,
this is your last chance.
Do not let me down this time.
Bingzhu.
Bingzhu,
does this outfit look familiar?
And this.
I greet
noble guests
every day,
but someone like me
could only
hide in the darkest corner
and watch you from afar.
I envy Wu Siyue.
That young lady...
She can stay by your side in broad daylight
and help you do all those things.
I, however, couldn't tell you anything
even if I'd done so much for you.
It's all because of this outfit I'm wearing.
You don't get to compare yourself with her.
Gao Bingzhu,
my mission today
is to kill you.
If you die,
I can live.
Bingzhu,
I am sorry.
I won't lie to you anymore.
Yao!
