[The Double]

[Episode 19]

Scum, I'm so mad.

If you hadn't stop me,

I would have punched
the cursed Magistrate.

I'm so frustrated.

I'll go for a walk.

Miss.

Tong,

I know that Magistrate.

A granary

eases the folks' mind and helps in w*r.

I entrusted you with the duty
of supervising the granary.

Yet you were lying

and stealing from the folks.

Take off your official uniform.

You're not worthy as an official.

Feng Yutang was a beggar.

My father had pity on him

so he gave him a position in the office.

He's smart.

But it wasn't expected

that he's a completely rotten person.

A smart Magistrate.

He's not an easy opponent.

Do you have any plan?

Feng Yutang

has replaced all

my father's subordinates.

[Huaixiang District Office]

Watch where you're going.

Granny, are you alright?

[5th house of Lihua Lane]

She's with Mr. Xue?

We call her Dumb Madam.

Perhaps Feng Yutang thought she's a dumb

and can't speak,

so he let her stay.

But can she help us?

Since she invited me,

she must have something to tell me.

Third Uncle.

Take Tong with you.

I'll see the old lady alone.

No way, let's go together.

No way.

Feng Yutang is keeping an eye on us.

We must work separately.

Listen to me. We stay together.

Listen to me.

Tong and I have switched clothes.

They're targeting me.

They won't do anything to Tong.

Alright then.

Let's meet here in two hours.

If you're not back by then,
I'll look for you with Tong.

Okay.

Let's go.

Second Lady Jiang.

Hurry.

Let's go.

They're fooled.

One person follow them.

Others shall wait.

Beware of tricks.

Roger.

Luckily, I'm smart.

You two go that way.

- Roger.
- You come with me.

Let's go that way.

Pretty lady, are you alone?

Pretty lady.

So pretty.

I like it.

She's mine today.
Don't take her from me.

I'm coming.

This pretty lady is quite hot-tempered.

Hit me again.

Go away.

Pretty lady, I like it.

Hit me.

Pretty lady.

You hit me painfully.

Let go.

Let go.

Let go.

Let me go.

I'm sorry. My fan fell.

Please pick it up for me, pretty lady.

My Lord, are you going
to do it or should I?

It's too dirty. You do it.

Jiang Li, go onto the bridge.

How dare you be so nosy?

Duke Su.

Why did your taste

change suddenly today?

Do you like it,

pretty lady?

Did you come to Huaixiang

because you heard that I'm coming?

I should be the one
asking this question.

I have something important
to do in Huaixiang.

Perhaps the messenger was late.

- What messenger?
- That's not important.

What was the important thing
you mentioned?

I'll explain to you in the future.

How can you get things
done being followed?

Search there.

What are you doing?

Thank you so much, Duke Su.

How many of them?

I don't know.

Let them check it out for you.

Have a cup of tea with me.

[Sun's Tea House]

Lady, do you want a flower?

Not going in?

Have a look here.

Choose a gift for the lady.

I'll give you a discount.

[Biscuit]

This one suits you.

It's ugly.

Act well.

Let them mistake you
for meeting a lover secretly

and let their guard off.

The second daughter
of the Grand Chancellor

meeting her lover secretly in Huaixiang.

Would they believe it?

Why not?

The most popular play
since ancient times

has always been this one.

True or false isn't important.

Most importantly,

is to watch someone's reputation

fall from heaven to earth.

Don't move.

Feeling better?

Why do you always
say inappropriate things?

[Sun's Tea House]
[Biscuit]

You're thinking too much.

I don't like the word lover.

What's wrong with

a beloved one?

It can't k*ll you.

But it can k*ll me.

When you're more open,

it won't k*ll you.

[Sun's Tea House]
[Biscuit]

Feeling better now, pretty lady?

Better.

[Sun's Tea House. Biscuit]
Annoying.

Lady, this flower looks good as well.

[Sun's Tea House. Biscuit]

Four in total. We can get them now.

They confessed. Feng Yutang sent them.

Go back and tell your master,

when Duke Su and Second Lady Jiang
are together,

they don't like to be watched.

If you're found again,

you'll be badly hit.

Leave.

We'll leave now.

Leave!

Why did you act with me today?

Didn't you say

that you didn't like me
watching the show in the tea house?

You have nothing to say now.

When Duke Su and Second Lady Jiang
are together,

they don't like to be watched.

You're saving me with your reputation.

Send Second Lady Jiang
wherever she wants to go.

Don't ask why.

Protect her at the entrance
when you're there,

then send her home when she's done.

Okay, sir.

Thank you.

Let's go, pretty lady.

You're definitely Xue Li.

Dumb Madam.

No way, girl.

You have to leave.

Leave tonight.
Don't ever come back to Huaixiang.

Why?

Feng Yutang was able to

ruin Huaixiang.

He surely has someone backing him up.

He's afraid of nothing.
You can't defeat him.

My current identity

is the second daughter
of Secretariat Director Jiang Yuanbai.

Jiang family is powerful.

They won't dare to touch me.

The higher your status,
the more you'll harm Magistrate Xue.

As long as Feng Yutang

thinks Magistrate Xue is a threat,

he may k*ll him.

I won't let them see

that I'm here for Dad.

I need someone,

who can overturn Dad's verdict

and prove

that Feng Yutang framed Dad.

So I can redress for Dad

before he's ex*cuted.

But the people you want

can't save him.

Gu Da, Gu Er, Peng Xiao and He Jun,

all those who were loyal

to Magistrate Xue

were sent to

the sand mine in Dong Mountain.

Everyone there works for Feng Yutang.

No matter what,

I must give it a try.

Don't alert the enemy.

Or else Magistrate Xue will suffer more.

I know.

You're with Feng Yutang every day.

You may be in danger anytime.

Listen to me.

I'll find a way to send you out, okay?

If I disappear suddenly,

your identity will be exposed.

My life doesn't worth anything.

If Magistrate Xue hadn't save me,

I would have starved to death.

He's my savior. I can't leave.

That rotten Feng Yutang

thinks I'm a useless dumb person.

He didn't chase me out.

But he didn't expect

that I've been staying
by Magistrate Xue for a chance.

In a few days,

if they're really going
to execute Magistrate Xue,

I'll fight them with my life.

No.

Sacrificing your life to revenge

isn't worth it.

Since I'm back today,

I'll make sure
they get what they deserve.

Xue Li.

[Huaixiang District Office]

Thank you, everyone.

Ginseng chicken soup.

Have some.

Why are you sitting there?

Drink it.
It has been stewed for a long time.

Don't be shy.

Drink while it's hot.

It's still hot.

Ma...

Come.

Drink.

Open your mouth.

Drink.

Magistrate Feng, have mercy!

I cooked this chicken soup
for an entire day.

If you don't drink it,

isn't it a waste of my effort?

Who did she meet?

Duke Su.

Why did Duke Su come to Huaixiang?

Get up.

Duke Su seems
to care about Jiang Li a lot.

He even sent her back himself.

I'm afraid it won't
be easy to take action.

From now on, be smarter.

If you're found again,

you won't have soup,

but death.

Leave, all of you!

Yes, sir.

Hold on.

[Sansheng Hall]

Miss.

What took so long?

Did something happen?

I was being followed
by Feng Yutang's spies.

Luckily, I met Xiao Heng.

Who's Xiao Heng?

He's Duke Su.

Why is he here?

Did he come to see you?

Let's talk about him in the future.

Back to the important topic.

I found out about

the people
who knew about Xue family case.

Where are they?

At the sand mine of Dong Mountain.

However,

the sand mine is filled with
Feng Yutang's subordinates.

Third Uncle.

Can you find enough helpers?

I can get my buddies back in Luyang.

But Feng Yutang is having a close eye
on our people.

He knows

our every move.

Is there no other way?

Well...

There's one.

My Lord.

The topography
of the sand mine is studied.

There's a river between two mountains.

This part of the river is the sand mine.

Up the river,

right here is the official gold mine.

This gold mine is closed down
by the Imperial Court.

The office of Huaixiang
is in charge of guarding it.

Without a pass, no one can enter.

The rest

isn't investigated yet.

The sand mine is only founded
half a year ago.

But the official gold mine

had been in use for many years.

The mine tunnels are very complex.

In addition to the impact
of the land damages

the tunnels
must have been changed a lot.

Without a map, it's hard to get in.

You're good
in saying the right nonsense.

What idea do you have?

Let's attack forcefully.

Attack forcefully?

Yes.

I'll ask our people to charge.

And then?

Search.

In the name of?

With our status and identity,

can't we be overbearing and shameless?

We just have to.

What do you think?

Wrong nonsense.

Suggest something then.

Here you are.

You're expecting me?

You have no way to go,

Li?

I would like to borrow some manpower

to go to the sand mine
in Dong Mountain together.

Interesting.

You have the same idea.

This is the important thing.

You can have manpower.

But I can only help you after I settle

my affair.

This is urgent.

I can't wait.

Jiang Li.

Don't be too bossy with me.

Tell me

what do you need to do.

At the upper stream of the sand mine

there's a closed official gold mine.

Official gold mine?

You want to go in there?

There's no way in now.

We don't have the map.

The map?

Give me a moment.

My rule is,

I need to know the source of this map.

I can't tell.

But I can guarantee with my life

that this map is real.

I've heard this kind
of speeches many times.

Xiao Heng.

This map

was someone's life.

If you want it, take it.

Second Lady Jiang.

My Lord has always been careful.

You've gone too far.

That's enough.

I'll take the map.

Tell me your plan.

[Entrance. Upper tunnel. Mining area.]
I want you to help me to get

to the sand mine
to save the ex-subordinates of Magistrate Xue.

This sounds like saving lives
by sacrificing lives.

I don't really want
to have this losing deal with you.

The two of us

have never had a fair deal.

I'm just a chess piece in your hand.

I overestimated myself by saying that.

From beginning on,

I was probably not even a chess piece.

I made use of you
to get back to Jiang family.

And you've been observing me since then.

It was originally due to doubt.

Ever since the bet
between Li family and I started,

you've been fanning the flames.

You don't want Li family
to recruit Ye Shijie,

so you provoked them

by using me
to distance Ye and Li families.

That's why you treated
the wound on my hand twice

to help me pass the exam.

You've been observing

to see if I'm qualified
to be your chess piece.

Only when I came to Luyang

and fought Li family
to protect Ye family,

you started treating me
like your chess piece.

Is that right?

Why should I fight Li family?

From searching the stolen money
of the smuggled salt in Qingcheng Mountain

to entering the official gold mine,

what you're investigating
is clear even without saying.

In recent years, corruption cases
are frequent in the capital.

Those who died are insignificant people.

There must be someone
making money behind these people.

Do you know who these people are?

How could I have
such great ability alone?

But I can see it through your eyes.

From the capital to Luyang,

your eyes have been on Li family.

I can't help but to think about

what the relation is.

That's right.

The financial resources
in the capital are cut off.

So Li Jin came to Luyang.

What does Luyang have?

The wealthy Ye family.

Finance is the key to a country.

His Majesty must be worried.

And you're going from north to south

to take down Li family

under the emperor's order.

Jiang Li.

Don't you want to live anymore?

I want to live,

but I can't.

As for me,

if you didn't take me into your game,

I won't be able to live long.

A chess piece like you

should have been abandoned.

How would you know
that I can't be the k*ller move?

You're too presumptuous.

I give my life to you.

What did you say?

I said,

I give my life to you.

Keep using me as your chess piece.

I'm sorry, Jiang Li.

I'm not interested
in this chess game anymore.

Xiao Heng.

We have different paths
but the same destination.

You said that.

Different

paths

with the

same destination.

You said that.

Are you afraid?

What am I afraid of?

You're afraid to use my life

for the fate of the country.

Saving people from the sand mine
and going into the gold mine

can be done at the same time.

You don't have to go to Dong Mountain.

I must go.

Before going to Dong Mountain,

how can you

get rid of Feng Yutang's spies?

[Peace for the people brings benefits]

All of a sudden,

Second Lady Jiang
who looks almost exactly the same

as your daughter has appeared.

And Duke Su.

Since when this little Huaixiang

became so crowded?

Why did they come?

They didn't come earlier nor later.

As soon as Ministry of Justice
approved your execution,

they came here.

What a coincidence.

Li.

Is it possible

that they came here for you?

Li.

In that case,

I'm sorry.

You must die earlier.

Li.

Li.

Li.

[Peace for the people brings benefits]

Sir, we have news about them.

We split into several groups

to follow all of them.

Jiang Er and the others
went to the grain store.

[Yunju Restaurant]
Duke Su went to the black market.

And someone went to the farmer's house.

Why did they go to these places?

They went to buy food.

Buying food through different channels.

Then compare the prices and quality.

Nice one.

They want to find clue
about the granary.

Who's guarding the granary?

Monkey.

How many of them?

Four of them.

Four... How many?

Four of them.

I...

Four?

No.

Why don't you just open the granary

to show them?

Don't be angry, sir.

Those who are guarding the granary
are elites.

There're too many people to follow.

We're lack of manpower.

Transfer the people back
and follow me to the granary.

If they're not planning
to do anything in the granary,

I'll eat sh*t.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Peace for the people brings benefits]

You, this way.

You, this way.

Hurry.

Be gentle.

Behave yourself.

It hurts. Let go.

Hurry.

Move.

- Only a few of them?
- Hurry.

What about the others?

Let go.

There's no more.

Okay.

Are you playing a diversion trick
with me?

Lock him up.

The rest of you, come with me.

Let's go.

- Don't move.
- Okay.

That was a good idea, Jiang Li.

How did you come up with this plan?

A granary

eases the folks' mind and helps in w*r.

I entrusted you
with the duty of supervising the granary.

Yet you were lying
and stealing from the folks.

Take off your official uniform.

You're not worthy as an official.

It was just a lucky bet.

Grain always come first.

I'm sure he'll panic

when we attack the granary.

It seems I also made the right bet.

I knew you would have a way.

Eight people.

Let's have a look at the sand mine.

The people you're looking for
are not at the sand mine.

That was just a cover.

They should be in this mine cave.

I know that there's an entrance

if we go south around this mountain.

My Lord.

I can do this.

Listen to her.

Let's go.

It should be this way.

Are you sure?

Yes.

This tunnel is narrow.

Perhaps because it's inconvenient
for transportation

it was abandoned.

Let me have a look first.

Go that way.

I remember there's
no such fork on the map.

I don't know which way to take either.

Let's split up.

You and I go this way.

So I'll go this way.

I think that way looks
more like the path on the map.

Let's go that way.

Then we'll switch. Let's go.

Duke Su, how is it down there?
Is there a path?

Come down.

Be careful.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Be alert.

What are you afraid of?

They're all working at this time.

What could happen?

Hey,

can you stop being so careless?

Why are you looking at me?

Go.

You begged me to come here.

You have to do
the physical work yourself.

Should I serve you?

Good one.

Let me tell you, if anything happens,

both of us will be in trouble.

You're scaring me again.

You want me to massage you?

Dream on.

Okay. I think,

you're only doing useless things.

- You...
- Let me tell you.

Don't say useless things to me.

You...

Hey girl, do you want to dance with me?

Dance.

Are you lost?

Don't be afraid.

Have a drink with us.

We'll show you the way out.

Come on, girl.

Girl, you're strong.

Duke Su.

It's settled.

Well done.

No need. I can do the physical work.

Cut the crap.

Stay one foot away.

Put this on. Be quick.

Put it on.

Check.

[Chariot, soldier,
pawn, a*tillery, general]

Compared to your usual character,
this move seems to be

[Chariot, soldier, pawn, a*tillery, general]
quite radical.

There's low risk and high benefit.
I shouldn't be conservative.

Sometimes the risk may seem small,

[Soldier, pawn, general]
that's when you need to be more careful.

[Chariot]
Check again.

Mr. Ye.

[Duke Su is in Huaixiang.
Please instruct]

What happened?

Jiang Li and Xiao Heng are in Huaixiang.

The official gold mine

was discovered.

[Soldier, pawn, general]

How will you counter this move?

[Chariot, soldier, pawn, a*tillery, general]
I'm prepared.

Hurry up.

Work harder.

Don't slack off.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry.

There was an earthquake
in Huaixiang three years ago.

Someone claimed

that it's harmful
to the mountain to mine here.

Hence this gold mine was closed down
by the Imperial Court.

But why...

What are you doing?

Get up.

You knew about this?

You came to Huaixiang
to investigate this gold mine.

But this is the gold mine
of the Imperial Court.

Unauthorized mining
is a crime of treason.

How would the local government
dare to do it?

Gold mine?

Hurry up.

Xue family of three.

Shen Yurong.

Eldest Princess.

Turns out all these are related.
