=Episode 12=
An,
he glared at me.
If you didn't glare at him,
how do you know he is glaring at you?
Which side are you on?
His Majesty is worried
that Marquis Pei is hiding something,
that is why he assigned Commander Wei
to keep an eye on it.
You should be wary,
don't cause trouble to Marquis Pei.
Since Marquis Pei knows
their purpose for coming,
why is he letting them
live in Changfeng Estate?
Since he came so openly and confidently,
we should let him
see everything clearly.
Once they are in Changfeng Estate,
who’s watching whom won’t be so certain.
That's an excellent strategy.
Changfeng Guards' horses
are really one of the best in the world.
Idiot,
I know you haven't experience
much of the world.
Keep your eyes wide open and look.
You
Deputy Commander Tong!
Deputy Envoy Yi!
Come on!
Brother Cui,
who do you think will win?
Well,
when peacocks fight,
it's usually a lose-lose situation.
You have a point.
What's the point of competing?
It would be better to just run freely.
Ci, it must be difficult for you
to be in this position.
Clearly, what you’ve always longed for
is the freedom of the mountains
and wilderness,
yet now
you’re trapped in this carriage.
I'd like to ride a horse.
It's frosty and dewy outside.
Your body is vulnerable,
the cold
might cause a strain on your body.
Right.
I think
you can definitely ride a horse freely
when flowers bloom in the coming spring.
Thank you for your kind words.
Sanlang, why are you not talking?
I'm thinking about Miss Jiang's arms.
She seems like she could
beat a cow to death.
It doesn't seem to have much
to do with vulnerability.
Brother Cui,
have some tea.
Thank you, Ci.
Your Lordship,
Commander Wei,
please help yourselves.
Brother Cui,
try this,
I made these pastries myself.
Thank you, Ci.
You have good skills.
There is a rich aftertaste.
Your Lordship,
you've been coughing lately.
I'm afraid
sweet food won't do good to your throat,
You should refrain from eating this.
Commander Wei,
you don't like sweets, right?
I indeed don't love them,
but I'm really hungry.
Here,
let me have a taste.
It's really good.
It seems that Wei should take this time
to enjoy a good meal
with Miss Jiang.
Miss Jiang, what other skills
do you have?
You should demonstrate them
as much as you can
instead of hiding them.
Certainly.
Have a piece.
It tastes really good.
Yes.
(Liang State, Nanling, Yijiang)
Sanlang, please pardon us
for the rough conditions.
Shaojun, you're too kind.
It seems
He Zhenwen, the governor of Nanling,
is somewhat shrewd and capable.
It's a shame
that are some less visible areas
with much filth and grime
hidden inside.
Even the deepest water
can be reached with a bamboo pole
all the way to the bottom.
As for how much mud can be pulled out,
it depends on how deep we can probe.
Shaojun is a smart man.
I will
just be direct, then.
When He Zhenwen was interrogated
by the Censorate,
according to He Zhenwen’s account,
the issue with the military equipment
arose because the craftsmen's experience
is still limited.
(He Zhenwen, Governor of Nanling)
Poor skills.
The Censorate arrested the craftsmen
involved in the incident
and they all confessed, too.
Have you checked the accounts?
Yes,
we didn't spot any issues.
A goose leaves a trace
wherever it flies.
With Sanlang helping me in this,
I have a lot more confidence.
Forgive me for my blunt words.
Shaojun, if you want
to be reinstated,
you must find out the truth about
the military equipment incident fast.
I'm just worried that this incident
has far-reaching implications.
Although His Majesty
is concerned about this case,
he cares more
about whether there are
any unspoken things under the table.
Lord Pei
will always be
one of His Majesty's subjects
and Nanling will always
be one of His Majesty’s royal lands.
Lord Pei, if you really
get involved in this,
Pei Yan will certainly
uphold justice even if it means
eliminating one's own kin.
Now that you've said that,
the military equipment case
will definitely come to light.
Are you cold?
(Li Ayan, a boatman's daughter,
Nanling Boat)
In response to Young Lady,
I am fine.
Please don't call me that,
my name is Jiang Ci.
How about you?
Ayan.
Ayan?
You've been working
throughout the journey.
Put it down, let me do it.
No way.
How about this?
Treat this as doing me a favour.
I was just so bored sitting there,
can you help by letting me
get a breather?
Come on.
Ci,
be careful.
Hold this,
it's to warm your hands.
You can just
stand next to me later
and help me by pointing the way.
Thank you, Miss.
You're welcome.
Alright.
Stand firm.
My Lords,
please be seated.
(Changfeng Estate, Nanling)
Welcome, Marquis Pei.
Sanlang,
please.
Miss Jiang!
Brother Cui,
you should go first.
Hold the umbrella.
What about you?
Just hold this.
It's raining heavily,
why are you standing here?
I'm here to return your cloak.
You travel on the river often,
this is a thick cloak,
you keep it.
I can't,
this is too expensive.
I can't accept it.
Stop being so polite to me.
You make a living on the boat
and I am surviving under
someone else's control.
We share a similar fate,
of course, we need to look out
for each other.
It’s getting late.
Come on.
Hold this.
Go back quickly.
Miss Jiang
(Changfeng Estate)
Thank you, esteemed relatives,
for arranging the welcome banquet.
I'd like to make a toast to you all.
(Pei Zifang, Master of Pei clan,
Nanling)
This toast
should have been offered by us
to honour you, My Lord.
Unfortunately, I am getting old
and my legs suffer inconvenience.
Please pardon me, My Lord.
Uncle, I am your nephew,
there's no need to be so courteous.
Marquis Pei is a Lord,
I am just a commoner.
It'd be better to
adhere to the formalities
to avoid spreading rumours
that I lack manners
and do not follow courtesy.
Cheers, My Lord.
Cheers, My Lord.
Lord Pei honourably returns to Nanling
to have a drink with us,
this is such a joyful event.
However, I heard
that Lord Pei resigned
from office for a woman.
Doesn't that
equate to disregarding
Pei family's honour?
Please pardon me
for not explaining to you
about the matters in the court.
This is not a court,
is there anything that is not allowed
to be talked about?
Well,
the woman
Who is she?
My Lord, did you really think
that the news in Qingkang
won't spread to Nanling?
My Lord, although you are
the Marquis of Jianding,
you are also one of the
descendants of Pei family.
Every word and action of yours
should put the Pei family first.
Ci is my maidservant,
hence she is a part of Pei's Residence.
Uncle, please do not mind
the rumours outside.
In the eyes of the world,
the most glorious individual
from the Pei family
has to be your father.
It's a shame
that although he held the highest rank
among officials,
he passed away a little too early.
During those years,
if not because of the extra care
provided by your many relatives,
how can you
get to where you are today?
Your shoulders actually
bear
the entire Pei family of Nanling.
You should
think twice before taking action.
My Lord,
please excuse me.
Master Pei’s words are incorrect.
Under Heaven,
all land belongs to the king.
Even if Lord Pei resigns,
he remains to carry the royalty's grace
on his shoulders.
Is the Pei family of Nanling
of higher importance
than royal dignity?
That is not
what I meant.
I am guessing
Master Pei's eyes have grown dim
over the many years of
staying in Nanling.
Regardless of whether
Marquis of Jianding
inherits the title or resigns,
he is still a pillar of the court.
You are merely a local gentry.
According to regulations,
you should've bowed as a courtesy.
Marquis of Jianding regards you
as a family member
and forgave you for not doing so,
but you weren't even
being courteous to me.
That is rude.
You
I?
I am the commander of Light Bureau.
I hold a third-rank official position.
I forgive the master
as he is getting old
hence he became dim
and couldn't see clearly.
Don’t you all know etiquette too?
Greetings, Commander.
Master, are you not familiar
with etiquette?
As long as it is in your heart,
you need not be concerned
with formalities.
Shaojun,
I am an outsider after all.
I should stop intruding
your family banquet.
I have offended you in many ways today,
please excuse me.
My Lord,
I should also retreat.
Ci.
Brother Cui?
- What are you doing here?
- Ci.
It's really stuffy in that room,
the air outside
is fresher and more comfortable.
Thank you, Brother Cui.
I'm fine.
Those aristocratic families
and local gentry
relying on the fact that no one
dares to discipline them,
have entrenched themselves in
various regions and lorded over others.
Tell me,
they read books of the sages
and virtuous,
but they don’t practice good.
Sooner or later,
this country and its land
will be eaten up by these parasites.
You sound like
you despise them more than I do.
I left the secular world
to enter official service
in hopes that I can put myself forward
on behalf of the people.
I wish that one day,
the fact that we are controlled
by the aristocratic families
can be changed.
However, in the end,
I'm just an ant trying to shake a tree.
There are ants that shake the tree,
there are also ants moving around.
I believe
that as long as you work hard,
your efforts will not be in vain.
Ci, you possess inner beauty
and intelligence.
I must have been blind.
I assure you,
I will never break your trust.
You must be hungry.
I heard
the night market in Nanling
is very lively
and there are plenty of
delicacies there.
I'll take you to take a look.
Brother Cui,
give me a minute.
Let me take you somewhere.
Let's go.
Ci,
hurry up.
Let's go.
Quick.
Run, run!
This isn't nice, is it?
I added Clivia.
Clivia is cold in nature.
When mixed with alcohol,
they will suffer from diarrhoea
for a few days at most.
Did you
pick this up from the medical book
I gave you?
Thank you for the gift.
Let's go.
Let's go get something nice.
Watch your step.
My Lord, please pardon me.
I'm not sure why one is missing.
It's fine.
You may go.
Yes, My Lord.
Brother Cui,
Nanling is such a lively place.
Nanling
is famous for its fish and rice.
As the saying goes,
when the people have food
in their bellies,
they naturally won't panic.
Look.
When I was staying at Pei's Residence,
I couldn't even breathe properly.
It's better here,
there is everything.
I understand.
Look at this.
Look.
Steaming buns.
Sir,
what are the fillings?
There's beef and mutton.
Which one would the lady like?
Ci,
what would you like to eat?
I'll go with you.
You don't have to force yourself,
I'll just take a walk.
I'll eat as I walk.
Don't worry,
I won't run around aimlessly.
Alright.
Then let's meet here
after a while.
Sure.
Here, have a look, Sir.
Sir, how much is this?
I'll give you a discount.
(Changfeng Estate)
Here.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Uncle,
I have been reckless tonight,
I apologise to you.
Please
do not hold anger towards me.
Nephew,
it’s not that I want to
give you a hard time.
As the leader of the clan,
I have to prioritize
the Pei family's glory at all times.
You
already lost your official position
but in this court,
I cannot be without support.
At present,
your cousin Wang is already an adult.
In the course of his political career,
if you can help him clear the way,
he can perhaps
aid you with your comeback
in the future.
The Pei family from Nanling
will give you a helping hand.
Uncle,
I understood.
Cheers, My Lord.
Take a look at the sachets.
Madam, can I take a look at this?
Here.
(Two weeks ago)
We drift with the current
in life,
and truly,
no one can shake the boat of fate.
(Everything has a beginning,
but few can see it through to the end)
How much is this?
Ten coins.
Tanghulu.
Sir,
I'll have a serving of sweet porridge.
Miss,
coincidentally,
our business is booming tonight,
unfortunately, we don't have
any available tables.
How about we seat you
at a shared table?
Is that alright with you?
Sure.
Where should I sit?
Over there.
Look over there.
There is a table there,
a young man has already
taken his seat there.
Were you following me?
I think I came here first.
Fine.
Considering that you stood up
for me just now,
I'll let this go.
Who said I was standing up
for you?
Were you doing it for Lord Pei, then?
Why did you come to Nanling?
I am acting on an imperial command,
to investigate a case.
This is the origin,
but not the purpose.
When did Miss Jiang
start developing an interest in me?
If you hadn't plotted against me,
I wouldn't care about you.
Porridge is here.
My father said
we have to seat you two together,
these two Songzao cakes
are his gifts for you two.
Thank you.
What's a Songzao cake?
It's an offering to Kitchen God.
When Kitchen God eats something sweet,
he will be pleased
and tell God good things
to bless everyone in the coming year
so we have our bellies filled
and not get sick.
That's right.
Filling up bellies is
the most important.
I wish your business prosper.
Thank you, Miss.
Han,
hurry and wash the dishes.
What are you doing?
Why are you dilly-dallying?
Coming.
I didn't expect
that you know how to thank people.
It seems that Miss Jiang has a
very serious misconception toward me.
Why do you love sweets so much?
Could it be
that Miss Jiang
is actually interested in me?
When I tested you
with Bitterless Congee,
you said that the porridge
was not sweet enough.
What does the real Bitterless Congee
taste like?
I don't remember.
Aren't you from Yueluo?
You are from Liang'an.
Do you actually remember
the taste of the congee you had
when you were young?
I remember.
I remember the taste of
anything I have eaten.
Let's just say that
I can never forget
any good food that I have come across.
You have no ambition.
What do you mean?
Do I have to fight and compete every day
like you do
to live?
Why are you
so obsessed with Bitterless Congee?
The reason I went down the mountain
was to collect Lingjiu Flower
to make Bitterless Congee for Master
for her birthday
but who would have thought
I couldn't leave
after coming to Qingkang.
Your master
likes Bitterless Congee?
She said that
she had it with her family
when she was young
so that was a very important memory
for her.
Bitterless Congee
Bitterless Congee
It's not that I can't tell you about it,
but out of courtesy,
you have to return me a favour.
Don't even think about it.
No worries,
I know your rules.
I won't ask you to do something evil.
What do you want me to do?
Following His Majesty's orders,
I must
investigate Pei family’s connection
with the military equipment case.
I need Changfeng Guards'
annotated book
of encrypted correspondence.
What does that have anything
to do with that case?
You've seen Master Pei's attitude.
Changfeng Guards
listen to Pei Yan's orders.
If we can find out
Changfeng Guards' directions,
we can keep track of
Pei Yan’s investigation process.
Are you suspecting that Lord Pei
will protect the Pei family?
People, for the sake of what they seek,
can resort to any means
at times.
If we do that,
Pei Yan can be reinstated,
you can reunite with your master,
and I can answer His Majesty.
It's rare to encounter a situation
that achieves three benefits
with one action,
am I right?
Don't even think about it.
Since I agreed to help you
hide your identity,
I won't stop you,
and I will never break my promise.
However, I will never
be used by you again.
All this talking,
it seems that you still can’t let go of
Marquis of Jianding.
Yes,
I just can't let go.
Stop eating.
I'll take it to Lord Pei.
There is a valley
in Yueluo
named Mingyue Valley.
It is green all year round,
with flowers blooming everywhere.
However,
that is also the burial ground
of Yueluo.
Those from Yueluo
are never afraid of death.
They sleep under the moon
all year round,
The thoughts and memories of
loved ones and friends
have caused their graveside
to be covered with fresh flowers,
those are Lingjiu Flowers.
They pluck it
to make Bitterless Congee
to convey their remembrance
of the deceased
and express life's
bittersweet experiences.
I didn't ask you,
you told me yourself.
Don't force me to do anything.
Everyone has their own needs.
I wish you
get what you wish for.
Why is this made of stale rice?
Go.
Uncle,
how are you doing?
Nephew, please stay.
My Lord,
look.
They were fine and now they're
suffering from a stomachache,
this is karma.
My Lord,
are you alright?
I didn't drink the soup,
so I should be fine.
Could it be that the soup was poisoned?
I will head to the kitchen
to investigate.
It's fine,
it's a trivial matter.
How is the investigation of
each room's background going?
In Nanling, in terms of clothing,
food, shelter, and transportation,
every industry has people
from each family.
The people here never said much
because of giving face to His Lordship.
I heard that some time ago,
Fourth Young Master seized a land
from others
and it cost lives.
They had to cover this up
by giving bribes.
Besides, Second Master
just took in his
seventeenth concubine this year,
she was tied up
and brought into the house.
Second Master?
Isn't he 68 this year?
Lord Pei's reputation
is going to be completely tarnished
because of them soon.
My Lord, you have devoted yourself
to the Pei family,
yet they are
making things difficult for you,
what a shame.
I am protecting the Pei family
for my father's dignity,
it is also my responsibility to do so.
By the way,
any news about the whereabouts of
the Yan Sisters?
We have sent someone
to investigate discreetly,
but there is no news yet.
Send more people.
Yes, My Lord.
Where is Ci?
She went out with Mr. Cui,
they are not back yet.
Brother Cui,
the purse you got is really pretty.
You have good taste.
Thanks.
Isn't that for Miss Jiang?
Unfortunately,
I noticed this purse
goes very well with something
I picked up earlier
so I bought it.
I thought
a humble gentleman like Mr. Cui
don’t pick up things on the road.
It turns out
I really want to see that girl again
and return the paper dragonfly to her.
Can I look?
Everything has a beginning,
but few can see it through to the end.
The meaning of this phrase is
that in this vast world,
there are often good beginnings,
but it is rare to both start well
and finish well,
ending with a good conclusion.
(Changfeng Estate)
Sanlang is here too?
Shaojun,
why haven't you rested yet?
Ci has not returned,
so I was concerned.
It's getting late,
you have been bothering
Sanlang and Ziming
all night.
You should go back to your room to rest.
Have a seat.
Stop lending your cloak to others.
Your body
is not made of iron.
Fine.
Autumn wind is cold,
warm yourself up.
Thank you, My Lord.
Don't you like ginger tea?
I am just too full,
I can't finish it.
You seem like
you had a lot of fun tonight.
Were you taking a trip with Sanlang?
When did the two of you
become so close?
We just met by chance.
The commander took care of me
for your sake.
I noticed you were happily chatting
with Sanlang and Ziming,
I thought you had taken a liking
to one of them.
I don't have a crush.
My Lord,
you should go to bed early.
I should go.
Please stay in my room
for this period of time.
Why?
You may be dismissed.
The reason Sanlang came
to Nanling this time
seems to be to assist me
with the investigation
when in fact, he is monitoring
every single move I make in Nanling.
His Majesty intends to test me
to find out if I have
a second intention.
Sanlang is extremely intelligent,
we can never let him see through
any weakness in our relationship.
I know
you have suffered a lot of pain
during the stabbing incident
on the boat previously,
I apologize to you.
This is about the Pei family’s safety,
please give me a helping hand.
Fine,
I will stay here tonight.
My Lord,
to live in lies every single day
while being calculative with others,
are you really not tired of it?
Every living person
in this world has responsibilities.
Since this is my responsibility,
I can't say I'm tired.
I know
that any choice I make brings harm,
but I still have to make a choice
to protect things and people
that are important to me.
You should sleep inside,
I'll be outside.
Fine.
Is there anything going on
in Pei Yan's room?
The lights are out.
Where is Jiang Ci?
She should be inside.
She's still inside?
I understand now.
Lord Pei must have deliberately chosen
the right moment at tonight's banquet
to win Jiang Ci's trust and favour.
A gentle blow.
Every blow is deadly.
What a splendid plan.
Pei Yan thought
he was closest to Jiang Ci,
but he never thought
that Lord Wei has made a move silently.
It seems that the annotated book
is expected to be available soon.
Yifei.
I am here.
Go on guarding duty
tonight.
Right now?
Yes.
My Lord,
it's so windy outside.
The moon is dark and the wind is high,
It must be the time
for Changfeng Guards to be deployed.
My Lord,
I have to follow you
to Foundry Bureau
for the investigation tomorrow.
My investigation of
the military equipment case
was just a formality from the start.
At this point,
it is most important
to find Yan Sisters.
Go.
My Lord?
My Lord!
(Pei Zifang’s Residence, Nanling)
Greetings, Master Pei, I am He Zhenwen.
Such a huge disturbance is caused.
Lord He,
If it weren't for
your limited abilities,
how could you have sent
inferior weapons to Qingkang?
It is my fault,
I failed to discover
the treasury deficit in time
so I had no choice but to purchase
inferior materials to meet the deadline
which is why the weapons
had issues.
That's enough.
Let's not mention this again.
My nephew has always been smart
so he'll be a pain to deal with,
not to mention he brought Wei Zhao
who behaves wildly along this time.
The two of them echo each other,
so we need to be even more wary of them.
Lord He,
you must not let them
catch any weakness.
Master Pei, please rest assured,
the state of affairs
in Nanling is perfect,
those that the Censorate
did not discover
will not be found out
by Pei Hou and Commander Wei.
(He Yonglin, son of He Zhenwen, Nanling)
Thank you, Master Pei
Father
Why do you bother paying attention
to their moods?
Having received the ruler's salary,
one should bear the ruler's worries
Father,
you are receiving the court's salary,
why must you bear with
the Pei family's anger?
You have such a reckless temperament,
you still need some polishing
or you will suffer a loss
sooner or later.
We just sent away the Censorate,
and Pei Yan and Wei Zhao are here again.
Father,
what should we do now?
Lead your men
to Liumin Alley
to seize those hungry people,
find a hidden place in the city
and lock them all up.
Tomorrow,
Pei Yan and Wei Zhao
are going to pay
the Foundry Bureau a visit.
(Provincial Governor's office, Nanling)
I need to recharge myself
so I can deal with them properly.
Marquis Pei,
Commander Wei,
I am sorry for the inadequate welcome,
and I feel ashamed.
I have already resigned
from my official position.
I am just
following Commander Wei here today.
Thank you, Commander Wei.
Then I'll trouble you, Lord He.
Welcome.
(Workshed of Foundry Bureau, Nanling)
Please.
What is this place?
In response,
This is a Grade A forging furnace.
An incident happened
some time ago
and it has not been repaired as of yet
hence it is not usable.
Why are there signs of fire?
In response,
about two months ago,
there was a fire
due to a few craftsmen's
incorrect operation.
The fire was put out
but the craftsmen
passed.
We have prepared some bereavement
to console their families.
Why does Lord He describe
the craftsmen of the Foundry Department
as all lacking skill?
It's either forging substandard weapons
or bringing disaster upon oneself.
In response,
it was my oversight
that caused this disaster.
I have failed
to live up to the Emperor's grace
and have poorly supervised
my subordinates.
I am willing to accept all punishment,
but I humbly beg to show mercy
and forgive these craftsmen.
They have little experience,
and I am willing to bear
all the punishment for them
without any complaints.
He Zhenwen’s rhetoric
is quite familiar and well-practised,
it seems that this is how he brushed off
the Censorate.
(200 people, 200 bags of rice on 12/4,
payment for transport, 86,068 silver)
There is a problem
with the imperial weapons.
This concerns the security
of the imperial city,
which is a capital offence in itself.
The only option is to shift the blame
onto the craftsmen,
then plead for mercy on their behalf
to gain a reputation for virtue
and possibly save oneself.
I think
it's a flawless
and unassailable explanation.
(22nd January, 2,078 taels for wages
23rd of January, 1,000 bronze)
(Account book of the Foundry Bureau)
There is no issue with
the accounts of the Foundry Bureau.
Since Ziming said so,
the accounts
must be really believable.
I didn’t expect the case
to reach a deadlock like this.
Just focusing on the Foundry Bureau
is unlikely to reveal much.
It seems that we need to conduct
undercover investigations in the city.
Since it is an undercover investigation,
how about we pretend to travel around
and scour both inside
and outside the city
so we won't attract
unnecessary attention?
Miss Jiang should come, too.
Having a female companion present
makes the scene seem more authentic.
I will happily oblige, then.

=Episode 12=
An,
he glared at me.
If you didn't glare at him,
how do you know he is glaring at you?
Which side are you on?
His Majesty is worried
that Marquis Pei is hiding something,
that is why he assigned Commander Wei
to keep an eye on it.
You should be wary,
don't cause trouble to Marquis Pei.
Since Marquis Pei knows
their purpose for coming,
why is he letting them
live in Changfeng Estate?
Since he came so openly and confidently,
we should let him
see everything clearly.
Once they are in Changfeng Estate,
who’s watching whom won’t be so certain.
That's an excellent strategy.
Changfeng Guards' horses
are really one of the best in the world.
Idiot,
I know you haven't experience
much of the world.
Keep your eyes wide open and look.
You
Deputy Commander Tong!
Deputy Envoy Yi!
Come on!
Brother Cui,
who do you think will win?
Well,
when peacocks fight,
it's usually a lose-lose situation.
You have a point.
What's the point of competing?
It would be better to just run freely.
Ci, it must be difficult for you
to be in this position.
Clearly, what you’ve always longed for
is the freedom of the mountains
and wilderness,
yet now
you’re trapped in this carriage.
I'd like to ride a horse.
It's frosty and dewy outside.
Your body is vulnerable,
the cold
might cause a strain on your body.
Right.
I think
you can definitely ride a horse freely
when flowers bloom in the coming spring.
Thank you for your kind words.
Sanlang, why are you not talking?
I'm thinking about Miss Jiang's arms.
She seems like she could
beat a cow to death.
It doesn't seem to have much
to do with vulnerability.
Brother Cui,
have some tea.
Thank you, Ci.
Your Lordship,
Commander Wei,
please help yourselves.
Brother Cui,
try this,
I made these pastries myself.
Thank you, Ci.
You have good skills.
There is a rich aftertaste.
Your Lordship,
you've been coughing lately.
I'm afraid
sweet food won't do good to your throat,
You should refrain from eating this.
Commander Wei,
you don't like sweets, right?
I indeed don't love them,
but I'm really hungry.
Here,
let me have a taste.
It's really good.
It seems that Wei should take this time
to enjoy a good meal
with Miss Jiang.
Miss Jiang, what other skills
do you have?
You should demonstrate them
as much as you can
instead of hiding them.
Certainly.
Have a piece.
It tastes really good.
Yes.
(Liang State, Nanling, Yijiang)
Sanlang, please pardon us
for the rough conditions.
Shaojun, you're too kind.
It seems
He Zhenwen, the governor of Nanling,
is somewhat shrewd and capable.
It's a shame
that are some less visible areas
with much filth and grime
hidden inside.
Even the deepest water
can be reached with a bamboo pole
all the way to the bottom.
As for how much mud can be pulled out,
it depends on how deep we can probe.
Shaojun is a smart man.
I will
just be direct, then.
When He Zhenwen was interrogated
by the Censorate,
according to He Zhenwen’s account,
the issue with the military equipment
arose because the craftsmen's experience
is still limited.
(He Zhenwen, Governor of Nanling)
Poor skills.
The Censorate arrested the craftsmen
involved in the incident
and they all confessed, too.
Have you checked the accounts?
Yes,
we didn't spot any issues.
A goose leaves a trace
wherever it flies.
With Sanlang helping me in this,
I have a lot more confidence.
Forgive me for my blunt words.
Shaojun, if you want
to be reinstated,
you must find out the truth about
the military equipment incident fast.
I'm just worried that this incident
has far-reaching implications.
Although His Majesty
is concerned about this case,
he cares more
about whether there are
any unspoken things under the table.
Lord Pei
will always be
one of His Majesty's subjects
and Nanling will always
be one of His Majesty’s royal lands.
Lord Pei, if you really
get involved in this,
Pei Yan will certainly
uphold justice even if it means
eliminating one's own kin.
Now that you've said that,
the military equipment case
will definitely come to light.
Are you cold?
(Li Ayan, a boatman's daughter,
Nanling Boat)
In response to Young Lady,
I am fine.
Please don't call me that,
my name is Jiang Ci.
How about you?
Ayan.
Ayan?
You've been working
throughout the journey.
Put it down, let me do it.
No way.
How about this?
Treat this as doing me a favour.
I was just so bored sitting there,
can you help by letting me
get a breather?
Come on.
Ci,
be careful.
Hold this,
it's to warm your hands.
You can just
stand next to me later
and help me by pointing the way.
Thank you, Miss.
You're welcome.
Alright.
Stand firm.
My Lords,
please be seated.
(Changfeng Estate, Nanling)
Welcome, Marquis Pei.
Sanlang,
please.
Miss Jiang!
Brother Cui,
you should go first.
Hold the umbrella.
What about you?
Just hold this.
It's raining heavily,
why are you standing here?
I'm here to return your cloak.
You travel on the river often,
this is a thick cloak,
you keep it.
I can't,
this is too expensive.
I can't accept it.
Stop being so polite to me.
You make a living on the boat
and I am surviving under
someone else's control.
We share a similar fate,
of course, we need to look out
for each other.
It’s getting late.
Come on.
Hold this.
Go back quickly.
Miss Jiang
(Changfeng Estate)
Thank you, esteemed relatives,
for arranging the welcome banquet.
I'd like to make a toast to you all.
(Pei Zifang, Master of Pei clan,
Nanling)
This toast
should have been offered by us
to honour you, My Lord.
Unfortunately, I am getting old
and my legs suffer inconvenience.
Please pardon me, My Lord.
Uncle, I am your nephew,
there's no need to be so courteous.
Marquis Pei is a Lord,
I am just a commoner.
It'd be better to
adhere to the formalities
to avoid spreading rumours
that I lack manners
and do not follow courtesy.
Cheers, My Lord.
Cheers, My Lord.
Lord Pei honourably returns to Nanling
to have a drink with us,
this is such a joyful event.
However, I heard
that Lord Pei resigned
from office for a woman.
Doesn't that
equate to disregarding
Pei family's honour?
Please pardon me
for not explaining to you
about the matters in the court.
This is not a court,
is there anything that is not allowed
to be talked about?
Well,
the woman
Who is she?
My Lord, did you really think
that the news in Qingkang
won't spread to Nanling?
My Lord, although you are
the Marquis of Jianding,
you are also one of the
descendants of Pei family.
Every word and action of yours
should put the Pei family first.
Ci is my maidservant,
hence she is a part of Pei's Residence.
Uncle, please do not mind
the rumours outside.
In the eyes of the world,
the most glorious individual
from the Pei family
has to be your father.
It's a shame
that although he held the highest rank
among officials,
he passed away a little too early.
During those years,
if not because of the extra care
provided by your many relatives,
how can you
get to where you are today?
Your shoulders actually
bear
the entire Pei family of Nanling.
You should
think twice before taking action.
My Lord,
please excuse me.
Master Pei’s words are incorrect.
Under Heaven,
all land belongs to the king.
Even if Lord Pei resigns,
he remains to carry the royalty's grace
on his shoulders.
Is the Pei family of Nanling
of higher importance
than royal dignity?
That is not
what I meant.
I am guessing
Master Pei's eyes have grown dim
over the many years of
staying in Nanling.
Regardless of whether
Marquis of Jianding
inherits the title or resigns,
he is still a pillar of the court.
You are merely a local gentry.
According to regulations,
you should've bowed as a courtesy.
Marquis of Jianding regards you
as a family member
and forgave you for not doing so,
but you weren't even
being courteous to me.
That is rude.
You
I?
I am the commander of Light Bureau.
I hold a third-rank official position.
I forgive the master
as he is getting old
hence he became dim
and couldn't see clearly.
Don’t you all know etiquette too?
Greetings, Commander.
Master, are you not familiar
with etiquette?
As long as it is in your heart,
you need not be concerned
with formalities.
Shaojun,
I am an outsider after all.
I should stop intruding
your family banquet.
I have offended you in many ways today,
please excuse me.
My Lord,
I should also retreat.
Ci.
Brother Cui?
- What are you doing here?
- Ci.
It's really stuffy in that room,
the air outside
is fresher and more comfortable.
Thank you, Brother Cui.
I'm fine.
Those aristocratic families
and local gentry
relying on the fact that no one
dares to discipline them,
have entrenched themselves in
various regions and lorded over others.
Tell me,
they read books of the sages
and virtuous,
but they don’t practice good.
Sooner or later,
this country and its land
will be eaten up by these parasites.
You sound like
you despise them more than I do.
I left the secular world
to enter official service
in hopes that I can put myself forward
on behalf of the people.
I wish that one day,
the fact that we are controlled
by the aristocratic families
can be changed.
However, in the end,
I'm just an ant trying to shake a tree.
There are ants that shake the tree,
there are also ants moving around.
I believe
that as long as you work hard,
your efforts will not be in vain.
Ci, you possess inner beauty
and intelligence.
I must have been blind.
I assure you,
I will never break your trust.
You must be hungry.
I heard
the night market in Nanling
is very lively
and there are plenty of
delicacies there.
I'll take you to take a look.
Brother Cui,
give me a minute.
Let me take you somewhere.
Let's go.
Ci,
hurry up.
Let's go.
Quick.
Run, run!
This isn't nice, is it?
I added Clivia.
Clivia is cold in nature.
When mixed with alcohol,
they will suffer from diarrhoea
for a few days at most.
Did you
pick this up from the medical book
I gave you?
Thank you for the gift.
Let's go.
Let's go get something nice.
Watch your step.
My Lord, please pardon me.
I'm not sure why one is missing.
It's fine.
You may go.
Yes, My Lord.
Brother Cui,
Nanling is such a lively place.
Nanling
is famous for its fish and rice.
As the saying goes,
when the people have food
in their bellies,
they naturally won't panic.
Look.
When I was staying at Pei's Residence,
I couldn't even breathe properly.
It's better here,
there is everything.
I understand.
Look at this.
Look.
Steaming buns.
Sir,
what are the fillings?
There's beef and mutton.
Which one would the lady like?
Ci,
what would you like to eat?
I'll go with you.
You don't have to force yourself,
I'll just take a walk.
I'll eat as I walk.
Don't worry,
I won't run around aimlessly.
Alright.
Then let's meet here
after a while.
Sure.
Here, have a look, Sir.
Sir, how much is this?
I'll give you a discount.
(Changfeng Estate)
Here.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Uncle,
I have been reckless tonight,
I apologise to you.
Please
do not hold anger towards me.
Nephew,
it’s not that I want to
give you a hard time.
As the leader of the clan,
I have to prioritize
the Pei family's glory at all times.
You
already lost your official position
but in this court,
I cannot be without support.
At present,
your cousin Wang is already an adult.
In the course of his political career,
if you can help him clear the way,
he can perhaps
aid you with your comeback
in the future.
The Pei family from Nanling
will give you a helping hand.
Uncle,
I understood.
Cheers, My Lord.
Take a look at the sachets.
Madam, can I take a look at this?
Here.
(Two weeks ago)
We drift with the current
in life,
and truly,
no one can shake the boat of fate.
(Everything has a beginning,
but few can see it through to the end)
How much is this?
Ten coins.
Tanghulu.
Sir,
I'll have a serving of sweet porridge.
Miss,
coincidentally,
our business is booming tonight,
unfortunately, we don't have
any available tables.
How about we seat you
at a shared table?
Is that alright with you?
Sure.
Where should I sit?
Over there.
Look over there.
There is a table there,
a young man has already
taken his seat there.
Were you following me?
I think I came here first.
Fine.
Considering that you stood up
for me just now,
I'll let this go.
Who said I was standing up
for you?
Were you doing it for Lord Pei, then?
Why did you come to Nanling?
I am acting on an imperial command,
to investigate a case.
This is the origin,
but not the purpose.
When did Miss Jiang
start developing an interest in me?
If you hadn't plotted against me,
I wouldn't care about you.
Porridge is here.
My father said
we have to seat you two together,
these two Songzao cakes
are his gifts for you two.
Thank you.
What's a Songzao cake?
It's an offering to Kitchen God.
When Kitchen God eats something sweet,
he will be pleased
and tell God good things
to bless everyone in the coming year
so we have our bellies filled
and not get sick.
That's right.
Filling up bellies is
the most important.
I wish your business prosper.
Thank you, Miss.
Han,
hurry and wash the dishes.
What are you doing?
Why are you dilly-dallying?
Coming.
I didn't expect
that you know how to thank people.
It seems that Miss Jiang has a
very serious misconception toward me.
Why do you love sweets so much?
Could it be
that Miss Jiang
is actually interested in me?
When I tested you
with Bitterless Congee,
you said that the porridge
was not sweet enough.
What does the real Bitterless Congee
taste like?
I don't remember.
Aren't you from Yueluo?
You are from Liang'an.
Do you actually remember
the taste of the congee you had
when you were young?
I remember.
I remember the taste of
anything I have eaten.
Let's just say that
I can never forget
any good food that I have come across.
You have no ambition.
What do you mean?
Do I have to fight and compete every day
like you do
to live?
Why are you
so obsessed with Bitterless Congee?
The reason I went down the mountain
was to collect Lingjiu Flower
to make Bitterless Congee for Master
for her birthday
but who would have thought
I couldn't leave
after coming to Qingkang.
Your master
likes Bitterless Congee?
She said that
she had it with her family
when she was young
so that was a very important memory
for her.
Bitterless Congee
Bitterless Congee
It's not that I can't tell you about it,
but out of courtesy,
you have to return me a favour.
Don't even think about it.
No worries,
I know your rules.
I won't ask you to do something evil.
What do you want me to do?
Following His Majesty's orders,
I must
investigate Pei family’s connection
with the military equipment case.
I need Changfeng Guards'
annotated book
of encrypted correspondence.
What does that have anything
to do with that case?
You've seen Master Pei's attitude.
Changfeng Guards
listen to Pei Yan's orders.
If we can find out
Changfeng Guards' directions,
we can keep track of
Pei Yan’s investigation process.
Are you suspecting that Lord Pei
will protect the Pei family?
People, for the sake of what they seek,
can resort to any means
at times.
If we do that,
Pei Yan can be reinstated,
you can reunite with your master,
and I can answer His Majesty.
It's rare to encounter a situation
that achieves three benefits
with one action,
am I right?
Don't even think about it.
Since I agreed to help you
hide your identity,
I won't stop you,
and I will never break my promise.
However, I will never
be used by you again.
All this talking,
it seems that you still can’t let go of
Marquis of Jianding.
Yes,
I just can't let go.
Stop eating.
I'll take it to Lord Pei.
There is a valley
in Yueluo
named Mingyue Valley.
It is green all year round,
with flowers blooming everywhere.
However,
that is also the burial ground
of Yueluo.
Those from Yueluo
are never afraid of death.
They sleep under the moon
all year round,
The thoughts and memories of
loved ones and friends
have caused their graveside
to be covered with fresh flowers,
those are Lingjiu Flowers.
They pluck it
to make Bitterless Congee
to convey their remembrance
of the deceased
and express life's
bittersweet experiences.
I didn't ask you,
you told me yourself.
Don't force me to do anything.
Everyone has their own needs.
I wish you
get what you wish for.
Why is this made of stale rice?
Go.
Uncle,
how are you doing?
Nephew, please stay.
My Lord,
look.
They were fine and now they're
suffering from a stomachache,
this is karma.
My Lord,
are you alright?
I didn't drink the soup,
so I should be fine.
Could it be that the soup was poisoned?
I will head to the kitchen
to investigate.
It's fine,
it's a trivial matter.
How is the investigation of
each room's background going?
In Nanling, in terms of clothing,
food, shelter, and transportation,
every industry has people
from each family.
The people here never said much
because of giving face to His Lordship.
I heard that some time ago,
Fourth Young Master seized a land
from others
and it cost lives.
They had to cover this up
by giving bribes.
Besides, Second Master
just took in his
seventeenth concubine this year,
she was tied up
and brought into the house.
Second Master?
Isn't he 68 this year?
Lord Pei's reputation
is going to be completely tarnished
because of them soon.
My Lord, you have devoted yourself
to the Pei family,
yet they are
making things difficult for you,
what a shame.
I am protecting the Pei family
for my father's dignity,
it is also my responsibility to do so.
By the way,
any news about the whereabouts of
the Yan Sisters?
We have sent someone
to investigate discreetly,
but there is no news yet.
Send more people.
Yes, My Lord.
Where is Ci?
She went out with Mr. Cui,
they are not back yet.
Brother Cui,
the purse you got is really pretty.
You have good taste.
Thanks.
Isn't that for Miss Jiang?
Unfortunately,
I noticed this purse
goes very well with something
I picked up earlier
so I bought it.
I thought
a humble gentleman like Mr. Cui
don’t pick up things on the road.
It turns out
I really want to see that girl again
and return the paper dragonfly to her.
Can I look?
Everything has a beginning,
but few can see it through to the end.
The meaning of this phrase is
that in this vast world,
there are often good beginnings,
but it is rare to both start well
and finish well,
ending with a good conclusion.
(Changfeng Estate)
Sanlang is here too?
Shaojun,
why haven't you rested yet?
Ci has not returned,
so I was concerned.
It's getting late,
you have been bothering
Sanlang and Ziming
all night.
You should go back to your room to rest.
Have a seat.
Stop lending your cloak to others.
Your body
is not made of iron.
Fine.
Autumn wind is cold,
warm yourself up.
Thank you, My Lord.
Don't you like ginger tea?
I am just too full,
I can't finish it.
You seem like
you had a lot of fun tonight.
Were you taking a trip with Sanlang?
When did the two of you
become so close?
We just met by chance.
The commander took care of me
for your sake.
I noticed you were happily chatting
with Sanlang and Ziming,
I thought you had taken a liking
to one of them.
I don't have a crush.
My Lord,
you should go to bed early.
I should go.
Please stay in my room
for this period of time.
Why?
You may be dismissed.
The reason Sanlang came
to Nanling this time
seems to be to assist me
with the investigation
when in fact, he is monitoring
every single move I make in Nanling.
His Majesty intends to test me
to find out if I have
a second intention.
Sanlang is extremely intelligent,
we can never let him see through
any weakness in our relationship.
I know
you have suffered a lot of pain
during the stabbing incident
on the boat previously,
I apologize to you.
This is about the Pei family’s safety,
please give me a helping hand.
Fine,
I will stay here tonight.
My Lord,
to live in lies every single day
while being calculative with others,
are you really not tired of it?
Every living person
in this world has responsibilities.
Since this is my responsibility,
I can't say I'm tired.
I know
that any choice I make brings harm,
but I still have to make a choice
to protect things and people
that are important to me.
You should sleep inside,
I'll be outside.
Fine.
Is there anything going on
in Pei Yan's room?
The lights are out.
Where is Jiang Ci?
She should be inside.
She's still inside?
I understand now.
Lord Pei must have deliberately chosen
the right moment at tonight's banquet
to win Jiang Ci's trust and favour.
A gentle blow.
Every blow is deadly.
What a splendid plan.
Pei Yan thought
he was closest to Jiang Ci,
but he never thought
that Lord Wei has made a move silently.
It seems that the annotated book
is expected to be available soon.
Yifei.
I am here.
Go on guarding duty
tonight.
Right now?
Yes.
My Lord,
it's so windy outside.
The moon is dark and the wind is high,
It must be the time
for Changfeng Guards to be deployed.
My Lord,
I have to follow you
to Foundry Bureau
for the investigation tomorrow.
My investigation of
the military equipment case
was just a formality from the start.
At this point,
it is most important
to find Yan Sisters.
Go.
My Lord?
My Lord!
(Pei Zifang’s Residence, Nanling)
Greetings, Master Pei, I am He Zhenwen.
Such a huge disturbance is caused.
Lord He,
If it weren't for
your limited abilities,
how could you have sent
inferior weapons to Qingkang?
It is my fault,
I failed to discover
the treasury deficit in time
so I had no choice but to purchase
inferior materials to meet the deadline
which is why the weapons
had issues.
That's enough.
Let's not mention this again.
My nephew has always been smart
so he'll be a pain to deal with,
not to mention he brought Wei Zhao
who behaves wildly along this time.
The two of them echo each other,
so we need to be even more wary of them.
Lord He,
you must not let them
catch any weakness.
Master Pei, please rest assured,
the state of affairs
in Nanling is perfect,
those that the Censorate
did not discover
will not be found out
by Pei Hou and Commander Wei.
(He Yonglin, son of He Zhenwen, Nanling)
Thank you, Master Pei
Father
Why do you bother paying attention
to their moods?
Having received the ruler's salary,
one should bear the ruler's worries
Father,
you are receiving the court's salary,
why must you bear with
the Pei family's anger?
You have such a reckless temperament,
you still need some polishing
or you will suffer a loss
sooner or later.
We just sent away the Censorate,
and Pei Yan and Wei Zhao are here again.
Father,
what should we do now?
Lead your men
to Liumin Alley
to seize those hungry people,
find a hidden place in the city
and lock them all up.
Tomorrow,
Pei Yan and Wei Zhao
are going to pay
the Foundry Bureau a visit.
(Provincial Governor's office, Nanling)
I need to recharge myself
so I can deal with them properly.
Marquis Pei,
Commander Wei,
I am sorry for the inadequate welcome,
and I feel ashamed.
I have already resigned
from my official position.
I am just
following Commander Wei here today.
Thank you, Commander Wei.
Then I'll trouble you, Lord He.
Welcome.
(Workshed of Foundry Bureau, Nanling)
Please.
What is this place?
In response,
This is a Grade A forging furnace.
An incident happened
some time ago
and it has not been repaired as of yet
hence it is not usable.
Why are there signs of fire?
In response,
about two months ago,
there was a fire
due to a few craftsmen's
incorrect operation.
The fire was put out
but the craftsmen
passed.
We have prepared some bereavement
to console their families.
Why does Lord He describe
the craftsmen of the Foundry Department
as all lacking skill?
It's either forging substandard weapons
or bringing disaster upon oneself.
In response,
it was my oversight
that caused this disaster.
I have failed
to live up to the Emperor's grace
and have poorly supervised
my subordinates.
I am willing to accept all punishment,
but I humbly beg to show mercy
and forgive these craftsmen.
They have little experience,
and I am willing to bear
all the punishment for them
without any complaints.
He Zhenwen’s rhetoric
is quite familiar and well-practised,
it seems that this is how he brushed off
the Censorate.
(200 people, 200 bags of rice on 12/4,
payment for transport, 86,068 silver)
There is a problem
with the imperial weapons.
This concerns the security
of the imperial city,
which is a capital offence in itself.
The only option is to shift the blame
onto the craftsmen,
then plead for mercy on their behalf
to gain a reputation for virtue
and possibly save oneself.
I think
it's a flawless
and unassailable explanation.

(Account book of the Foundry Bureau)
There is no issue with
the accounts of the Foundry Bureau.
Since Ziming said so,
the accounts
must be really believable.
I didn’t expect the case
to reach a deadlock like this.
Just focusing on the Foundry Bureau
is unlikely to reveal much.
It seems that we need to conduct
undercover investigations in the city.
Since it is an undercover investigation,
how about we pretend to travel around
and scour both inside
and outside the city
so we won't attract
unnecessary attention?
Miss Jiang should come, too.
Having a female companion present
makes the scene seem more authentic.
I will happily oblige, then.
