Follow Your Heart (2024) s01e09 Episode Script

[Follow Your Heart]
[Episode 9]
[Guangyu Hall]
Father,
let me propose a toast to you.
I hope everything goes as you wish.
Everything goes as I wish?
You'd better control
your son.
Where did Xinbai go?
He purposely made Shang Bieli
put on an act for me.
Can these small tricks
fool me?
Didn't Xinbai say
he has something important to do?
Father,
don't be mad at him.
Daughter,
you might not know.
A few days ago,
His Majesty summoned me to the Imperial Study.
He mentioned the succession
of the Yuejiang's Residence.
Succession?
I'm still alive and well.
What is His Majesty worried about?
Don't be willful.
You know the Yuejiang lineage
is the only noble family
in the capital with another surname.
His Majesty
pays special attention
to the successor of the Jiang family.
Suoluo
is the crown prince's teacher.
She's close to the empress.
With the empress's input,
His Majesty's opinion
changed.
He wants Suoluo
to inherit the title.
What do you think?
Since I let my daughter take the title,
I'm naturally not against
letting my granddaughter take it either.
Father!
I know
you've always felt
pity and indebtedness
toward Xinbai all these years
and want him to inherit the title,
but
he's too similar to his father.
Zhaoming was a criminal after all.
Xinbai being like Zhaoming
is not a good thing
for His Majesty.
You look skinny,
but you're quite strong.
I do hard labor.
Be careful.
Okay.
He's not in a hurry to leave
after delivering the vegetables.
Is he suspicious?
We'll know
after investigating.
My lord,
there is still a woman left.
Is it possible that she is
the vegetable deliverer's accomplice?
Where is she now?
Bravo! Bravo!
One more!
Bravo! Bravo!
One more!
Bravo! Bravo!
What a big pancake.
Boss,
I want the biggest one.
One hundred coppers.
One hundred coppers?
That is too expensive.
Forget it. I don't want it anymore.
You must buy it after pointing at it.
I must buy it after pointing at it?
Why?
You're extorting money.
You're right.
I'm extorting you,
because I haven't sold anything yet today.
What does your poor business
have to do with me?
I won't buy it.
Are you buying or not?
I'll buy it.
I happen to be hungry.
This is cheap. It's ten coppers.
Ten coppers?
It's a good price.
Ten coppers is great.
Here, Boss.
By the way, Boss,
I want to ask you something.
It's said that the Ghost Market
has a pawnbroker named Mr. Cao,
but I walked down the entire street
and didn't see any pawnshops.
Everyone in the Ghost Market
knows Mr. Cao.
His shop
doesn't need any signs.
Then how can I find it?
Give me ten more coppers.
Alright.
Ten coppers
is no big deal.
Here.
It's across the street.
That one?
It's just a few steps
and you charged me ten coppers?
You're purposely scamming me.
Your shop is a scam!
I—
Did he scam you?
No.
Of course not.
I was just kidding
to liven up the atmosphere.
Everyone,
this shop has great prices.
Come and buy.
Go on with your work.
Go ahead with your work.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
It's great.
Go ahead with your work.
You don't have to see me off.
It's a full moon today.
The code?
I'll make it quick.
You're here.
You're quite early.
Are you
Mr. Cao?
Yes.
You knew I was coming?
I've been waiting for you.
Mr. Cao
is indeed a trader of information.
He really is all-knowing.
This tea
is free, right?
You must be joking.
Be my guest.
The verbal code is "it's a full moon tonight,"
but she said, "it's a full moon today.".
I'm thirsty.
The signal code
is to take one sip of each cup,
but she drank it all.
Why is the contact person chosen this time
so careless?
Miss,
where do you come from
and where are you going?
I’m from Heman.
Why do you care about where I'm going?
Here's the thing.
I have something urgent today.
Let's make it quick.
Great.
Got a personality.
Let's do as you said
and get down to business first.
Give it to me.
What?
You know.
According to the rules,
you give it to me first
and then I'll give it to you.
I haven't asked anything
and you haven't said anything yet,
but you're asking for money?
Money?
Are you extorting me?
You?
Are you in cahoots
with that pancake seller?
Why exactly
are you here today?
I want to buy news from you.
Everyone says
that in the capital,
there's no one
and nothing
that Mr. Cao can't find out about.
I want to
ask about someone's whereabouts.
No.
It's wrong.
No, no, no.
It's all wrong.
No.
Are you purposely causing trouble?
It's all wrong.
No?
No,
I can't do your business today.
We're already
closed today.
If you need anything,
come back tomorrow morning.
-Wait.
-Ruoqian.
See the guest out.
Yes, sir.
Miss,
we're closed today.
Please come again tomorrow.
I'm not leaving.
I spent ten coppers.
Miss,
I'll lead you out
and buy you a pancake worth ten coppers.
This way, please.
Mr. Cao,
I'll come again tomorrow.
Give me a discount.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
Let's go.
Buy me a pancake.
Be careful.
Forget it.
You don't have to buy me pancakes.
I think
you look kind.
You seem like a good person.
I'll give this pancake to you.
You don't have to see me out either.
Go back to work.
[Worshipping the Money God]
How did I lose him?
Did he go in there?
Get lost if you have no money.
Got it?
Get out!
Get out!
Get lost!
Miss,
lend me some money.
I'll make a fortune soon.
Let go of me!
I'll pay you back in double.
Let go of me!
Please!
Miss.
Help.
Hazi,
minor gambling is fun,
but major gambling
can cost your life.
Since you're unlucky today,
go home early to accompany your wife.
They must've cheated.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
My lord,
the one who followed the vegetable deliverer
has died.
I'm afraid
we've been exposed.
How did you let this happen?
Bury him well
and get the pension ready.
Yes.
Send someone to block
all entrances and exits of the Ghost Market.
Don't let the vegetable deliverer leave.
Remember,
try not to frighten the civilians.
Understood.
[Fanhou Street]
Why is he here?
It's a small world.
Why should I hide?
He's in the wrong,
not me.
My lord,
did you discover something?
Nothing.
I just thought of an old friend.
An old friend?
You recognized them?
Let's talk about business.
Have you found the vegetable deliverer?
Our men are waiting outside the Ghost Market.
He won't be able to escape.
He has no way out now.
Let’s catch him first.
This Jiang Xinbai
is putting on an act.
When I find the boy
and leave the capital,
we'll never meet again.
The psychic has calculated it.
How dare you deny it?
I won't do it again, honey.
Psychic?
[Persian Fortune Teller]
Psychic,
how can I get rich?
Get married first
and then start a career.
Once you get married,
you'll have your wealth.
Go get married, my child.
There are indeed many rich girls
who like me,
but I don’t want to be a matrilocal husband.
Fart?
Gas.
Gas?
If you can endure her gas,
you'll be successful.
I see.
Thank you, psychic.
Fart.
Gas.
Fart gas.
You
You must be the psychic.
My child,
are you looking for someone
or
You know I'm here to look for someone?
You really are a psychic.
Psychic,
can you tell me
where the man I'm looking for
is now?
There is a saying in Persia.
There is water in the water tank,
but we still search thirstily
for the water source.
Does finding water mean
I'm looking in the wrong place?
Then I'll go to the river?
I mean
the person you're looking for
is right beside you.
Beside me?
He's in the capital too?
Heaven's secret must not be revealed.
What I mean
is that when he should come,
he will come back to you.
I
I have another question.
That is,
I was cursed
and poisoned.
What should I do?
Get married.
Marriage will cure all illnesses.
Go get married, my child.
But I've
already gotten married
and even got divorced.
Then get married again.
You weren't sincere in your last marriage.
You even know I wasn't sincere?
Psychic,
I have another question.
Psychic—
Sis,
hurry.
Watch the shop for me.
I can't stand it anymore.
I'm going to the toilet.
Give me the token
and I'll spare your life.
Stop!
This
He's dead.
Cut him open
and take out the token.
-Yes.
-Yes.
My lord.
The inventory holder doesn't know
that the contact is dead.
I don't think he's ready yet.
Seal off the Ghost Market immediately.
To ensure safety,
they always carry their token.
As long as we find the other half,
we can find the holder
and Zornia.
Got it.
[Persian Fortune Teller]
You are
the Persian psychic?
My child,
what are you looking for?
What fortune telling can you do?
Everything.
Okay.
Then tell me
if I can get what I want.
I asked the deity.
The deity told me
that it depends on your sincerity.
I'm rich!
The Ghost Market is a great place.
I asked the deity.
The deity told me
your wish will come true
as long as you get married.
Just get married.
Must I get married?
You must.
Is there a way without getting married?
If you don't get married
My child,
I can tell you're the best of the best.
Whatever you want,
your family will give it to you.
Family?
Then you're wrong.
My brother
has always been doted on by my mother,
but he never helps me.
There must be some misunderstanding
between you and your brother.
You're siblings.
Just resolve the misunderstanding.
Really?
Why do I think
he never cares about me?
Maybe there's some misunderstanding.
Besides,
blood is thicker than water.
Blood is thicker than water.
The deity will help
resolve any misunderstanding you have.
You're not Persian.
You are a liar.
Who said I'm a liar?
Who told you that a Persian psychic
must be Persian?
The streets are sealed off.
Seal the street—
She's not Persian either.
Then who is she?
Sis,
you're doing well.
Go on.
I have to go home to take care of my child.
What do you mean they sealed off the streets?
Your wish will come true.
Why are the streets sealed?
Seal the streets?
It's almost the day of my shapeshifting.
If I shapeshift tonight,
they'll think I'm a monster and kill me.
No, no.
I'm leaving too.
Well
You can have it back.
Get along with your brother.
You all bully us.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse—
The Inspection Office is investigating a case.
No one is allowed to enter or exit the Ghost Market.
Wait on the street for the inspection.
Sir,
I have something urgent.
My house caught on fire.
I need to put out the fire.
Can you
see if you can
make an exception for me?
Move.
Don't be so mean.
I know your boss.
Stay where you are.
Otherwise, you'll be punished as an accomplice.
What happened?
The Inspection Office is working.
Open your eyes
and look at who I am.
Duchess.
Where is Jiang Xinbai?
Duchess?
Mr. Jiang is working on a case in the back street.
She called him by his name.
It seems that they are quite close.
Let us out!
Let us out!
Shut up!
Everyone, shut up
and wait for the inspection.
Shut up!
I want to get out!
Shut up!
Back off!
Stop pushing!
What right do you have to seal our shops?
Do you know where this is?
The Inspection Office is investigating a case.
All shops in Fanhou Street
must be closed for investigation.
If you don't cooperate,
don't blame us for being rude.
I don't care where you are from.
Fanhou Street's problems
have always been solved by ourselves.
Who do you think you are?
Go!
How dare you!
I am Cao Wenquan.
Because the men of Fanhou Street
support me,
they recommended me to be the speaker of the Ghost Market.
Tell your person in charge
to come out.
The speaker, right?
Let's see what you're capable of.
Wait.
I'm the director of the Inspection Office,
Jiang Xinbai.
Mr. Jiang,
you haven't come to Fanhou Street before.
Besides the Ghost Market,
Fanhou Street has another name.
It's called the Self-Managed Street,
because no matter what
happens here
We don't need officials.
You want to discuss the rules?
The rule of the Inspection Office
is to prioritize case-solving.
We're dealing with an important case today.
It concerns the safety
and welfare of everyone in Fanhou Street.
If anyone
refuses to cooperate
Yes,
you have power and authority.
Us civilians don't dare to
offend you,
unless you have
a notice from the Court of State Ceremonials.
Mr. Cao,
I'm afraid you don't know.
The Inspection Office
-works directly under His Majesty.
-Excuse me.
If I arrest you,
it's because you disobeyed my order.
It's your fault if you get hurt or killed.
But
if someone obstructs the investigation
and injures a constable,
it'll be the crime of assaulting an official,
or even
viewed as treason.
At the very least, you'll be caned to death.
At worst,
nine generations will be exterminated.
Mr. Jiang, what great authority you have!
In the Ghost Market,
there are many fighters.
If a fight really breaks out,
neither side will win easily.
How about this?
The Jinwu Guards will be the middleman.
Please each take a step back.
What or who are you
looking for?
Let me help you.
Commander Shang,
are you afraid
that I'll find something today
that is bad for you?
Jinwu Guards, attention!
Yes.
The duty of the Jinwu Guards
is to protect the people of the capital,
whether they're native or foreign.
If anyone
hurts the people,
we will hurt them,
understand?
Yes.
Wait.
Suoluo.
You're still here?
Brother,
Mr. Shang,
can I say something?
The Inspection Office and Jinwu Guards
both work for the court.
You are not enemies.
Why don’t both sides take a step back?
She’s Jiang Xinbai’s sister?
I shouldn’t have
defended that bastard.
You do need the Court of State Ceremonials' notice
to search the Ghost Market.
Why don't you send someone
to go get the notice?
Since the Inspection Office needs to search
for the case's investigation,
the Jinwu Guards should cooperate
to maintain order
and avoid disturbing the civilians.
But the Ghost Market
will be closed
in two hours.
If the Inspection Office
can find the spoils
within two hours,
it's naturally an accomplishment.
But if you can't find anything,
the Inspection Office
must give the Ghost Market an explanation.
Otherwise,
even if Commander Shang doesn’t report you,
the Court of State Ceremonials will still report you
to His Majesty.
Xinbai, are you sure you want to search?
I have no objections.
Ask the registrar of the Court of State Ceremonials to come.
We don't have much time. Search the place.
Yes.
How can I do business?
Search carefully.
Yes.
Move! Move!
Move! Move!
Get up!
Move! Move!
Step aside.
Move.
This way.
What's in your pocket?
These are just clothes.
How about this?
Alright.
Thank you, Officer.
Commander Shang,
are you going to let
Jiang have his way?
Don't forget
we are on the same side.
Do you want to die?
Who's on your side?
You're not qualified.
Say what you should.
Don't talk nonsense.
My lord.
My lord,
there's a small issue.
Men can be searched,
but how
should we search the women?
You may leave.
Yes.
Suoluo,
I want to ask you
to do me a favor.
Xinbai,
you actually need my help for once?
The constables are all men.
They can't search the women.
Help me.
What are you looking for?
I need to find
the other half of this token as soon as possible.
Other than
the Inspection Office,
only you know about this.
Xinbai,
are you begging me?
Suoluo,
now is not the time to be willful.
Mr. Jiang,
is this how you ask for help?
Fine.
I beg you.
What's in it for me to help you?
What do you want?
I haven't decided yet,
but I want you to promise me
to do something for me in the future.
Can you promise that?
As long as it doesn't violate my principles,
I promise you.
I love to see you
lower yourself and ask for help.
It's easier on the eyes.
Next.
You're a doctor.
So she's also a female doctor.
No wonder the smell of medicine is so familiar.
♫I'll fetch you the moon in my heart♫
♫I dream of the courtyard♫
Turn around.
♫It knows my heart♫
♫I want to return triumphantly with you♫
♫We can listen to the rain♫
♫And watch the snowfall in the west hills♫
♫We meet with our hearts♫
Next.
♫Let's not miss each other♫
♫I'll grow old for you♫
♫I want this flower to bloom and never wilt♫
♫And that's all I need for the rest of my life♫
♫Promise me you'll fall in love with me♫
♫And never break your promise♫
My lord,
we've searched everyone outside
but found nothing.
Only these people haven't been searched.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What?
You want to search me too?
Why can't you be searched?
Move.
Don't get in the lord's way.
Fine, search me.
Search.
Yes.
My lord,
there's only a wallet.
Keep searching.
Leave.
Yes.
Mr. Jiang,
you've
searched everywhere.
It's already three in the morning.
The Ghost Market
should be closed.
You and your men
have had a long day.
Why don't you go back and rest early?
Go back.
This is bad.
Whatever I'm afraid of comes true.
Mr. Jiang, if you don't mind,
the Jinwu Guards will send you off.
The inventory holder will definitely
keep the token on him.
It's impossible that we can't find it.
This strange smell
Wait.
Commander Shang.
what the Inspection Office
is investigating today
is the Zornia transported from Heman.
This
is the token
for their exchange today.
Right,
Mr. Cao?
Turns out it's the batch of Zornia from Heman.
I feel so sick.
But Mr. Jiang,
what evidence do you have
that this token
is mine?
Yes.
That's right.
You're framing him.
That's right.
It’s him.
Jiang Xinbai, you better be smart.
There is a kind of bird
called the bunting.
This kind of bird's feces has an abnormal smell.
After being baked at a high temperature,
a special smell
is produced.
I'm sure Mr. Cao
usually cleans the feces
of your beloved birds.
Your hands
will inevitably have the smell of the feces
and thus
get the smell onto the token.
A hand that touches something dirty
can't become clean
no matter how one washes it.
Take him down!
Jiang Xinbai,
you framed me!
The Zornia
must still be in the Ghost Market.
Keep searching.
Yes.
Wait.
Mr. Shang.
I know what to do.
Arresting people is the Jinwu Guards' duty.
I'll take him away
and interrogate him.
Commander Shang,
are you trying to snatch people again?
Mr. Jiang,
are you trying to get into a fight again?
They can fight anytime.
Why now?
Jiang Xinbai,
don’t show mercy.
Hurry up and fight.
Commander Shang,
I must
take him away today.
Fine.
I'll do you a favor today.
Remember to pay me back.
The criminal has been arrested,
but to prevent the accomplices from informing each other,
the Ghost Market will be sealed off for longer.
No one
is allowed to leave.
Yes.
Director!
Director,
I have something to report.
Yan Nanxing?
When did you come to the capital?
Actually,
I have to
leave immediately.
No.
Right now,
you can't leave.
Please.
What's wrong?
Go.
Follow me.
Go after him!
Come up.
Come in.
Tell them
they're not allowed in.
Say it.
You all stay outside.
Don't come in.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Don't worry.
He won't die.
Didn't you see
his fight with me earlier?
That girl is no match for him.
Mr. Jiang
was kidnapped on purpose.
