♫ The falling snow ♫

♫ Is bitter cold ♫

♫ My sigh ♫

♫ Misted the path in front of me ♫

♫ The moonlight knows my intention ♫

♫ I just want to make a place for me
in your heart ♫

♫ I laugh and I cry ♫

♫ Quietly building a pond in my heart ♫

♫ I accept all the gifts from sorrow ♫

♫ I can't let down my regrets ♫

♫ I won't admit defeat ♫

♫ I slowly chew on
the bitterness of life ♫

♫ The fragrance remains the same
after the bleak winter ♫

♫ Awaiting spring
to color the way back home ♫

[Episode 20]

Gold mine?

Hurry up!

The Xue family of three.

Shen Yurong.

Eldest Princess.

Turns out all these are related.

So, do you now know what
consequence you're facing?

What consequence can there be?

Didn't they k*ll everyone?

You're right.

We should walk around
or we might get suspected.

Be quick!

Hurry up. You're so darn poky.
Didn't you have breakfast?

Hurry up!

Come on, you two!

- Younger Gu.
- Hurry up! What are you doing?

What are you doing? It's an easy task.

- I'll k*ll you.
- Stop it!

- Get out of the way.
- Stop it!

I'll k*ll you too.

- Sir!
- I'll k*ll you too!

- Stop.
- Don't hit my brother!

Go away!

- Neither of you can escape!
- Sir!

- Younger Gu.
- Stop.

- I'll k*ll you! I'll k*ll you!
- Stop it.

There are fewer workers now than before.

Who will do the work if we k*ll them?
Calm down.

Count yourself lucky.

Go back and nurse your injuries.
Then come back to work.

- Go!
- Let's go.

You'll have nothing to eat
if you come back late!

What are you looking at?!

Let's go.

Did you all see it?

If you dare to shirk, you will be like them.

- Stop looking! Get to work.
- Hurry up. What are you doing? Hurry up!

Bear with it.

Are we going to die here?

Don't talk nonsense. We'll be fine.

Who is there?

The foreman said we could go back
after dressing the wound.

Stay over there. Don't force us.

Elder Gu.

Younger Gu.

It's me.

Xue Li?

Xue Li?

It's me.

You are Xue Li?

I'm here to save you.

- I'm sorry you have to go through this.
- But... But didn't the rumor say

that you had an accident
on your way back here?

- How could you...
- It's a long story.

I have a new identity now.

I'm called Jiang Li.

Jiang Li?

From now on, don't call me
by my old name in front of outsiders.

Let yourselves out,
and I'll tell you in detail.

It's heavily guarded here.

It's not that easy to escape.

He's right. Xue Li, just go.

Even if we escape,
that scum Feng Yutang won't let us go.

- Yes, hurry up.
- I'm not leaving.

- Go.
- I'm not leaving.

Don't worry.

It's time to bring Feng Yutang down
a peg or two.

Now that I've come in, I must take you out.

Let's go over there and check.

- See if anyone is loafing on the work.
- All right.

- Don't be frightened! He is one of us.
- Somebody is coming.

Are you going to knock me to death?

Behave yourself and work hard!

My brother told you to be more productive.

What's going on with you today?

Work hard.

Wait for me.

Are you skipping dinner?
Do you want to starve me to death?

No.

Where are they?

I watched them come in.

Xue...

Li.

We have thought about it.

You were brave to come to our rescue.
Of course, we dare to go out.

But He Jun and Peng Xiao are also here.

Are He Jun and Peng Xiao still alive?

We will call on them.

Be careful.

Don't give the game away.

Don't worry.

- Let's go.
- Go.

Keep up.

Hurry up.

This way.

After dinner, another shift will take over.

Here you go.

Let's take this opportunity
to get Peng Xiao and He Jun to escape.

All right, that's all.

Let's go.

He Jun and Peng Xiao are over there.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Yours.

No time to explain. Let's go.

Go.

Your shoulders are shaking.

You're mistaken.

As someone who was dragged into
the game by you, I need to remind you.

This operation is too risky.

With your intelligence, you can wait
until I destroy here and get a free ride.

Why not?

By the time you gather sufficient evidence,
and send troops to seize the gold mine,

Magistrate Xue would have been beheaded.

Come.

Oh, no!

They don't know that the inspectors
are approaching. We have to go back.

Follow me.

- Quick, hide!
- Come.

Younger Gu.

- Be quiet.
- Calm down.

If the worst comes to the worst, we'll fight.

You're right.

There are four of us and two of them.

I feel like sleeping when I'm full.

All you do is eat and sleep.

Help! Something happened.

Help!

Something's up. Help!

Help! Something's up.

- Step back.
- Over there! Catch them.

My Lord, please go first.

Come back alive.

Yes.

Let's go.

Go.

You can't even keep a man.

You let him run away.

What's the use of keeping a dead loss like you?

Magistrate, rest assured.

We have been searching
the whole city for Ye Mingyu.

He will not be able
to escape from Huaixiang.

Rest assured?

Rest assured?

Have you ever reassured me?

Sir, please calm down.

When we were searching, we found
that there was a spy in the ya men.

Xue Huaiyuan took you in back then.

To return the favor, you are willing to die.

I didn't expect that there would be
someone as kind and righteous as you here.

And look at you.

A pack of lackeys.

Maybe one day, you will sell me for money.

There's just one thing I can't figure out.

I took you in
after Xue Huaiyuan fell from power.

I am your benefactor, too.

Why did you betray me?

Crook!

You don't deserve
to be compared with Magistrate Xue.

I thought you were dumb.

Since you are not dumb, tell me.

Is Jiang Li Xue Fangfei. Where is she?

What did you two talk about?

If you don't tell me, I'll be angry.

Fine.

I'll tell you.

She told me that day that...

Die, you crook!

Bring Guai here.

She hasn't eaten meat for days.

This one is just enough for a good feed.

This hag has only uttered
a few words in her life.

This time, let her scream.

My Lord.

Get in the carriage. I'll deal with it.
Lu Ji is still behind us. Go and pick him up.

All right.

Come.

Get in.

- Follow me.
- All right.

Report!

Report. Magistrate,
there's a report from the mine.

Some miners were rescued by someone.

So their goal is the gold mine.

Is there any letter from above?

Not yet.

No?

- Magistrate!
- No?

- No?
- Please spare me, Magistrate.

- Always no! Why none?
- Please spare me, Magistrate.

Get out!

Magistrate, there is a
pigeon post from the capital.

Since I have someone to support me
even if the sky falls,

I don't have anything to worry about.

If you dare to challenge me on my home ground,
I will make sure you never come out alive.

There's an ambush. Get out of the carriage!

Xiao Heng!

Lu Ji, protect Li!

Yes!

Are you all right?

My Lord, the wound has been dressed
with bandages.

Try to move.

Stop.

Lower your head.

Does it hurt?

It's nothing.

- What about you?
- You protected me.

I'm fine.

I also got it bandaged just now.

Li.

You don't have to be a bravado.

My life is yours now.

Did you hear me?

I did. But it means little.

Your number one issue is not resolved yet.
If I take your life now, will you agree?

Then I'll try my best not to look
for trouble before you k*ll me.

Yeah, I wasn't born yesterday.

Duke Su.

Please feel free to use my life as a pawn.

I, Jiang Li, am always ready for you.

What does this mean?

This handkerchief is torn.

So?

- I'll mend it?
- Why? Is there a problem?

No problem.

I'm glad to be at your service, Duke Su.

My Lord.

The b*ttlefield has been cleaned up.
Go to the ya men.

I'll go with you.

We're going to arrest someone.

It's not appropriate for you to go.

I'll stay beside you and
won't cause any trouble.

Magistrate Xue may still be
in Feng Yutang's hands.

Go back and get her some decent clothes.

Yes.

It's a reunion after a long separation.

Don't be covered in dirt.

[Huaixiang Yamen]

Eat.

Magistrate Feng.

Shall we wait, for their triumphant return
and dine together?

Triumphant return?

They would have returned long ago
if they triumphed.

I shouldn't have bought the story of Li Jin.

How can Duke Su be k*lled by my useless men?

Perhaps the bodies of those
useless men are on their way back.

Then let's get the carriage ready.

Where are we going?

Run away with our tails between our legs?

Go back and scrounge for food?

I will never do that!

I came a long way.

Over my dead body!

What are you doing?

Keep playing music. Keep eating.

[Huaixiang Yamen]

Are they surrendering?

There's music playing inside.

Are they celebrating because
they thought we were all dead?

Beware of them clutching at straws.

You are back.

The trip must be strenuous.

Have a seat.

We've prepared roasted lamb for you.

Come on, have some food.

Magistrate Feng. Forget the food.

Let's talk about
the gold mine in Dong Mountain.

Do you also like gold?

No problem.

Give me a quote.

A sack of gold?

- No, I can give you the whole mine.
- A glib talker.

Come. Arrest all these people who
stole gold from the Imperial Court!

Wait.

What's the hurry?

Li.

If you want to arrest me, you have to
ask Magistrate Xue whether he agrees.

- Li.
- Magistrate Xue.

We've been living high on the hog.

- Li.
- I'm nice to you.

- Li.
- These people want to arrest me.

What should I do?

Jiang Li.

Go away!

Feng Yutang! Be a man.

How could you threaten people
with a demented old man?

Xue.

It seems we got the wrong person.

Your daughter wouldn't leave you
in the lurch, surely?

My carriage is parked in the front yard.

So?

Duke Su, fill my carriage with gold.

Then, I will leave quietly.

- Li.
- But if I feel threatened on the way,

my hand may have a mind of its own.

Feng Yutang.

You must be out of your tiny mind.

The case of the gold mine is a big one.

You want to kidnap someone and run away?

And demanding money with menaces?

My opinion doesn't matter.

Duke Su's opinion matters.

But hurry up.

We're running out of time.

- Jiang Li.
- Li.

Li.

Li.

- Li.
- You have my word.

Lu Ji.

Load up the carriage.

Li.

Done.

Make way.

Li.

Li.

Mr. Xue, it's all thanks to you.

Li.

Do you believe in me?

I do.

Move it.

k*lling... k*ll...

- Not good.
- Father.

k*lling is not good.

Father.

Get up!

Well done.

Thanks for the compliment, My Lord.

You double-crossed me.

Aren't you nasty?

You're one to talk!

I'm not as good at winning hearts as you are.

I pity people
who have sacrificed their lives for you.

They come to a sticky end.

Dumb Granny.

What happened to Dumb Granny?

Go ask the dog at the door.

It's on a full stomach.

Duke Su.

Can you give him the antidote?

Dying like this is a merciful end for him.

He won't die.

It's a big case.

I need him alive so he can give his statement.

The people from the Ministry of Justice
will be here tomorrow.

I don't believe you dare to k*ll me.

Hellcat, I know it's you.

When your father, Xue Huaiyuan, dies tomorrow,

I will be the first to send you to hell
so you can join him.

Third Uncle.

Your knife.

Come on.

This stab...

is for Magistrate Xue and Xue Zhao.

You can't beat me.
Just wait until your father is beheaded.

This is for Dumb Granny.

You cow!

I am going to k*ll you.

And this is
for all the officers you persecuted.

Nutcase.

This is for all the people in Huaixiang.

Please.

Miss Xue, please forgive me.

Die!

Miss Xue, please spare me.

And finally, for Qiongzhi.

Staunch the blood.

Keep him alive.

[Huaixiang Yamen]

Let them go.

You can't catch them.

Fear not. Don't be afraid. It's me.

It's me.

- Dangerous.
- It's not.

- It's dangerous.
- It's not. Father, there is no one but me.

Li.

- I'm here.
- Li.

Father, I'm here.

Li.

I'm here.

Li?

Li.

Li.

Li. It's dangerous.

- Father.
- Li.

- Li.
- Father.

- Li.
- Father, come to your senses.

- Father.
- Li.

Li, don't cry.

Li, don't cry.

Li.

Don't cry.

Li.

Sorry, Father.

- Don't cry.
- I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

I'm late.

I will save you.

I will overturn the verdict.

- Li.
- Those who hurt us...

Will not get away with it.

None of them will get away.

All right?

Don't cry.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Li.

Duke Su.

Why are you here?

- I'm waiting for you.
- What's wrong? Did something happen?

Nothing.

Relax.

I don't want to get anyone
into trouble anymore.

Your men went to look for witnesses who
could help Xue Huaiyuan overturn the verdict.

They'll let you know if they find anything.

All right.

Cowards!

They showed no hesitation when
receiving benefits from Magistrate Xue.

I will go.

If they don't come,
I will make them come by force.

Stop it.

You are not them.

- You can't understand their difficulties.
- Understand them?

Have they understood
what situation Magistrate Xue was in?

Are we going to sit by and watch
Magistrate Xue being...

What's wrong?

What was really going on?

We don't know anything about Magistrate Xue.

We are just ordinary people.

We just listen to the authorities.

You don't know?

Without Magistrate Xue's support, how could
Ping'an be alive and healthy now?

Isn't this enough for you to speak up
for the magistrate?

During the Spring Festival, I wanted
to visit Magistrate Xue in the prison

and give him some dumplings.

But in the blink of an eye,
they took Ping'an away.

Look.

Look how they hit Ping'an.

I only have Ping'an now.

Feng Yutang is dead.

- You don't have to be afraid.
- Everybody minds their own business.

I beg of you. Let us two live a peaceful life.

I've let Magistrate Xue down.
I've let Magistrate Xue down.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

What a coward!

Now I know.

What did your mother say?

- You ungrateful brat!
- Enough already!

I wanted to redress the injustices
for Magistrate Xue.

I submitted a petition when I learned
that Magistrate Xue was convicted.

But the new magistrate...

He beat my mother so badly.

Feng Yutang is dead.

Why are you still afraid of him?

We are just ordinary people.

We only want to live.

I can only repay Magistrate Xue's kindness
in my next life.

Zhang, if you don't go,
no one will come forward.

When they confiscated Xue's Residence,
I went there.

How did it end?

I was struck blind in one eye by them.

I don't want to lose another eye.

We went to several of the villagers' homes.

Butcher Zhang, Dai Yun, and Mo Wenxuan.

- They...
- Got it.

Go back first.

Thank you.

How about we go ask someone else?

He's right.

Magistrate Xue is kind-hearted.

Heaven will help him.

Sure, one good turn deserves another.

Aunt Chunfang.

It's me.

I'm Fangfei,
whom you have known since I was a kid.

Li.

It's you.

You are still alive.

Aunt.

My father will be beheaded tomorrow.

I would like you to speak out in his defense.

Close the door.

Aunt.

Aunt.

Aunt.

Please.

I beg of you.

Please.

- I beg of you.
- Li.

- Please.
- Good girl.

Stand up. Don't kneel.

Your hand...

They did this, didn't they?

Did they do this to you?

Come back now!

Uncle Liu's leg...

Li, think of us as cowards.

Just think of us as dead.

Do good deeds really lead to good karma?

♫ If there are no happy memories ♫

♫ How can we traverse
the forbidden land of sorrow? ♫

♫ Two cold and unfeeling bodies ♫

♫ Holding hands,
can we get through the snow season? ♫

♫ In the cold wind, in the long night ♫

♫ Embracing the remaining warmth ♫

♫ The depth of the sea, unfathomable ♫

♫ Can it bury yesterday's sighs? ♫

♫ Continue to love,
cherishing it with my life ♫

♫ Continue to live,
even with only a glimmer of hope ♫

♫ Whether in sorrow or joy,
I believe in you ♫

♫ I'd rather be trapped
in the world's extremes ♫

♫ Continue to live,
exhausting all courage ♫

♫ Continue to love,
until the breath runs out ♫

♫ Traversing half a lifetime
of loneliness, just to meet you ♫
