The military equipment case
may
be more than just corruption.
What are your thoughts about it,
My Lord?
The military equipment case
was perfect at first.
Why did we find old rice
at this very moment?
Following the clues,
we found famine victims.
The famine case is the opening
for the military equipment case.
We also found evidence
of Pei Clan's corruption.
Don't you think
everything's going too well?
Do you mean
someone is secretly leading us
to investigate the case?
Who is the person
secretly planning all this?
Does Pei Yan know?
When it comes to Pei Clan,
even Pei Yan might not see it clearly.
But Pei Yan
won't let it go so easily.
No wonder Pei Yan
neglected the Yan Sisters lately.
Yifei.
Check the abandoned
houses in the suburbs
and the shoe prints.
Don't let go of any clues
related to the Yans.
Yes, Your Lordship.
(Pei Clan)
(will)
temporarily
give you and your son a place to stay.
However,
you must follow the rules all the more
when staying with others.
Don't have
ideas that you shouldn't have.
Yan.
Look at me.
Remember everything that happened today.
Remember these people's attitudes.
Only when you are strong enough
can you make others submit to you.
Otherwise,
you'll always
be someone else's stepping stone
and have nothing.
Have you kept that in mind?
Answer me.
I've kept it in mind.
Louder.
I've kept it in mind.
Louder!
(I've kept it in mind!)
There were too many things going on
last night that I neglected you.
Are you okay?
Don't worry, Your Lordship.
I'm all right.
Don't be self-willed again.
Protect yourself.
This isn't something
you should get involved in.
I've troubled you.
I know
you want to feed the famine victims.
I'll write you an edict.
Go to Pei Clan's granary
to take out some food
and send the food to them.
I'll take care
of the rest.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
From now on,
just stay by my side.
After this busy period,
I'll travel south with you
to go sightseeing.
Are you really
interested in sightseeing?
All that matters is you're happy.
We can talk about this
later.
(Nanling, Pei Clan's Granary)
Bring them over.
Be careful.
All right.
You can go now.
But there are
only two bags of rice here.
The edict clearly writes
five dan of grain.
Take it or leave it.
If you don't want it, get lost.
What's with you?
These people are hateful
for feigning compliance.
It's what food given out of pity
is like.
Ci.
If you want to help
those famine victims,
these two bags of rice aren't enough.
Ziming.
Go to the deserted temple
and give porridge and medicine
to those famine victims.
I'll figure out the rest.
Miss Jiang.
Ayan.
Are you going out on the boat?
I want to get some food in the river.
It's hard to catch fish
at this time of year.
If I can't catch any fish,
I can always catch something else.
If you want to help famine victims,
why not seek help from Lord?
If I rely on others for everything,
I'll never be able
to solve any problems.
Let me help you.
Young Master.
Young Master, taste it.
Young Master.
Young Master.
Young Master.
Speak.
Pei Yan's maid,
who exposed our whereabouts,
is out on a boat alone.
Father worked so hard for Pei Clan
but suffered so much.
I want to get justice for him.
Here.
Miss Jiang, you're amazing.
It's Nanling river that's amazing.
But is this edible?
I read it in a medical book.
It's called bitterweed.
You can eat it
after boiling it in water.
You can add some seasoning
or make it a salad.
Although it's not as delicious as rice,
it can fill your stomach for a while.
Nanling's famine victims
should really thank you and Lord.
Lord placed righteousness above family.
He should be
someone trustworthy.
Young Master.
You're just a maid,
but you're quite fiery.
What are you doing?
I suspect you're harboring criminals.
I want to search the boat.
Our boat is so small
that you can see everything at a glance.
I think you're here to cause trouble.
So what if I am?
If you hadn't interfered,
my father wouldn't end up this way now.
What are you waiting for?
Search them.
Losers.
You're nosy, aren't you?
Okay.
I'll throw you into the lake
and feed you to the fish today.
Young Master.
We're no match for him.
We should heal our wounds first.
Ayan.
Go home first.
Thank you.
I'm just
fighting violence with violence.
This is the third time you've saved me.
The first time
was in the county jail.
The second time was
in the dry well at the deserted temple.
This is the third time.
If you want to thank me,
why not just submit to me
and be my spy?
I didn't finish talking.
You tried k*lling me three times
and saved me three times.
We're even.
(Jiyun Temple)
Miss Jiang.
What's wrong?
Let's cook the porridge
and dishes separately.
Why?
I'm just used to separating
rice and dishes.
How about I do it instead?
Sure.
Commander.
Can I borrow your rock sugar?
What's that?
It's
what you used to tease me
by breaking my kite.
Do you want me
to give you another example?
Here.
Have some porridge.
Miss.
I want meat.
Be good.
Have some porridge first.
Here.
How about I teach you a trick?
Close your eyes with me.
Imagine that in front of you
is a bowl of steaming
and fragrant braised beef.
Take a bite
and the taste lingers in your mouth.
Chew it
and it's smooth and chewy.
At this time,
what goes best with braised beef
is this bowl of delicious hot porridge.
Drink slowly.
Is it good?
Yes.
Drink more. Here.
Here.
Taste it.
I added sugar.
Try it.
Try it.
Do you think
treating them to a bowl of porridge
will solve their problems?
I know it's impossible,
but I'll think of a solution.
Do you want to try
fighting violence with violence?
Bottoms up.
How come it's you again?
We'll give you ten minutes.
Send five dan of grains
and 50 jin of meat
to the deserted temple
in the west of the city.
How dare you make trouble here?
Boys.
Get your weapons
and get them.
Attack!
Your head is fine.
Open your eyes.
Do you know who he is?
Even the king of hell will run
when he sees him.
He's Light Bureau's
Commander Wei Zhao.
Hurry and prepare five dan of grains
and 50 jin of meat.
So what
if he's Light Bureau's commander?
How dare you offend Nanling's Pei Clan?
You guys are really bold.
You bully others
by taking advantage of your power.
And you bully the weak
and fear the strong.
You're worse than animals.
I'll cut your flesh
and drain your blood.
What can you do to me?
Please spare me, Lord Wei.
Miss Jiang is easily persuaded.
I hate bargaining the most.
I asked you to open up the granary.
I can't do that.
These rice belong to Pei Clan.
Even if I had ten heads,
I wouldn't dare do it.
If Nanling's Pei Clan
has any objections,
ask them to find me at any time.
Go!
I'll go.
I'll go.
I'll go immediately.
Get up.
Hurry and prepare it.
Hurry!
You took advantage of my influence.
It feels quite good.
Thank you.
Do you want some sugar people?
Which one do you want?
Boss, how much is this?
This is five cents.
Five cents?
Here.
All right.
This is a thank-you gift.
How ugly.
How can you say that
in front of the craftsman?
Ugly?
I think it looks like you.
Tell me.
If I ate its eyes and nose,
would it look more like you?
You're not afraid of me
anymore.
I'm afraid of you.
I'm very afraid of you.
Light Bureau's commander
is fierce, cunning,
and resolute.
Who wouldn't be afraid of you?
However,
That's what outsiders think.
I don't think that way.
Let's go.
Your Lordship.
I heard that Commander Wei
took Miss Jiang
to Pei Clan's granary
and made a big fuss.
They forced them to open
the granary and give away grains.
(Changfeng Estate)
Your Lordship.
Ci.
Why are you with Sanlang?
I had some trouble getting the grain.
Fortunately, Commander Wei helped me.
Did they give you a hard time?
The minions of powerful clans
always look down on others.
Miss Jiang is alone and weak.
It's normal for her to be disobeyed.
I didn't think it through.
I will punish them
for Ci.
I've taught them a lesson.
All that matters is
that you don't blame me for meddling.
Ci.
You're not hurt, are you?
No.
It's late.
Go back to your room and rest.
Your Lordship.
I promised the maids
that I would tell them
about my time in Qingkang.
Maids?
Miss Jiang.
Shaojun can't bear to see you
sleeping in the servants' quarters.
But speaking of which,
Lord of Jianding's favorite maid
doesn't even have a nice room.
If word about this gets out,
I'm afraid even the maids
will have something to say.
It's all right if they talked about me,
but they mustn't discredit Lord.
I'll have someone
arrange a room for you tonight.
You can invite
the maids you're familiar with.
If you're tired,
get some rest.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
I'll go find them.
Shaojun, you're
a perfect lord.
Thank you for taking care of Ci,
Sanlang.
I can finally
get a good night's sleep today.

(Wei Zhao, Jiang Ci)
(Ci was also with Sanlang)
(at the deserted temple.)
(When did they become close?)
(Your Lordship.)
(Is he Wei Sanlang?)
I heard from others
that he's famous in Qingkang
for his good looks.
I came here looking for clues,
but I accidentally
fell into the water.
Fortunately, Miss Jiang saved me.
What else do you know?
Just show us.
Don't hide it.
Of course.
(Shameless Cat wore a mask,)
but I fought him several times.
If he's Commander Wei,
(I should be able to recognize him.)
(You're right, Your Lordship.)
Black is black
and white is white.
You can't mess around with it.
(Your Lordship.)
(You've been cooped up
in your room for days.)
Do you feel better?
(Lord, you're a kind man.)
I think you're a gentleman.
No one can compare to you.
You're a kind man.
(You're handsome)
(and charming.)
(Lots of ladies must like you.)
(Wei Zhao, Jiang Ci)
(Will Ci)
(lie to me?)
Why are you looking
at this arrow again all of a sudden?
This is the only clue
left by Silver Masked Man.
After Teng Rui's case,
he disappeared.
I'll feel uneasy
until he's captured.
Has Ziming sorted out the scrolls
of the military equipment case?
Yes.
We have all the witnesses and evidence.
We can close the case this time.
Tell the public
that the case is complicated
and is still under investigation.
If the evidence is conclusive,
we won't tolerate it.
Only after the storm has passed
and the public opinion has subsided
can we explain
to His Majesty.
By Lord's command,
the crimes committed by those involved
are too many.
They are paraded on the streets today
to appease the people.
By Lord's command,
the crimes committed by those involved
are too many.
They are paraded on the streets today
to appease the people.
I've reported
your upright and righteous act
back to Qingkang.
His Majesty is pleased.
I believe your reinstatement
is just around the corner.
Thank you for your help, Sanlang.
I'll
keep it in mind.
By Lord's command,
the crimes committed by those involved
are too many.
They are paraded on the streets today
to appease the people.
Don't throw eggs.
Throw this instead. Here.
(Jiyun Temple)
Here.
Take this.
Take this.
Everybody will get one.
Thank you.
Take this.
Everybody will get one.
Miss Jiang.
You had a great idea.
It's such a waste to use food
to hit the bad guys.
Pei Clan
usually bullies the people.
They finally got hit by karma.
All this
is thanks to Lord.
Yes.
However,
there's another person
who played a great role
in rectifying Pei Clan.
Who is it?
Forget it.
He probably doesn't care.
Here. Take this.
Everybody will get one.
Here.
Lord is here.
Your Lordship.
Hurry, Lord is here.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Lord is a kind man.
A kind man. Thank you, Your Lordship.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Here are some food and winter clothes.
It's a token of my kindness.
Get up.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Here, get up.
Get up.
Come and get the food.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Why are you here, Your Lordship?
You worked so hard to
pick up a few cabbages on the street.
I brought you some.
Let me thank you on their behalf.
Actually,
Commander Wei
helped them get food last time.
But do you know
why they only seek justice from you?
It's because
Commander Wei has a bad reputation.
Everyone's scared of him.
To them, you're a good man
and a hero.
You said this before.
I still think the same way.
Speaking of Sanlang's bad reputation,
are you scared of him?
I'd better stay away
from a monster like Commander Wei.
Speaking of which,
do you want to go to Xuzhou
to visit your family?
Yes.
Now that Nanling's case is over,
why don't I go with you?
We never caught Silver Masked Man.
If you go in and out on your own,
I worry about your safety.
Are you
accompanying me as my master?
When I first left home,
I was carefree and free.
But now that I've become a maid,
I almost lost my life several times.
This is a disaster
for my family.
If you go with me,
I'm afraid my family
will be angry with you.
I'll go get busy first.
I'm hungry.
Here.
These are for both of you.
Thanks.
No problem.
Thank you.
Miss Jiang.
Has Lord left?
Yes.
Miss Jiang.
Could you introduce me to Lord?
Get up and talk.
I want to seek justice for my husband.
Your porridge is here.
Here, Sir.
Please enjoy.
Have you changed the way
to make Songzao cake?
No.
Is there something wrong with it?
I just think
the taste is different from last time.
Why don't I get you another plate?
No thanks.
Just leave it.
Please enjoy.
It's the usual taste.
I thought Father ruined it today.
Try it again, Sir.
Do you still think
something's wrong with the taste?
Could it be that the girl
from last time isn't here
so you lost your appetite?
Yes.
Good food tastes better when shared.
Han.
Get back to work.
Go to the backyard and wash the dishes.
My Lord.
I found out
the identity of the old house owner.
His name was Zheng Sheng.
He was a foundryman at Foundry Bureau.
Nanling Foundry Bureau?
Yes.
Nanling Foundry Bureau
had an accident two months ago.
Several foundrymen were burned to death.
Zheng Sheng is also among them.
How did you know?
When I first
looked into the military equipment case,
He Zhenwen had mentioned it.
But
he only mentioned it briefly.
I didn't delve into it.
Now that I think about it,
perhaps the fire
wasn't an accident.
You said before that the military
equipment case isn't over.
Could this
be the key?
Did you find any clues
about the footprints?
Not yet.
Although Zheng Sheng is dead,
he should have been
in a relationship with a woman.
This woman
doesn't know martial arts.
Only by finding her
can we know
the relationship
between them and the Yan Sisters.
Give me.
Give it back to me!
Mother, what are they eating?
If you don't study hard,
you'll end up
begging and eating
kitchen slop like them.
(It is said that Zhao Wu
married and had children)
outside before entering the palace.
His descendants
(have lived in Nanling for a long time.)
(These are the oranges I planted.)
(Try them.)
I'm just used to separating
rice and dishes.
Ayan.
Go home first.
(Could the mysterious footprints
be Ayan's?)
(Does she know Zheng Sheng?)
(What does the Yans
have to do with them?)
My husband's name is Zheng Sheng.
He's a foundryman
at Nanling Foundry Bureau.
He died in the fire at Foundry Bureau
two months ago.
(Zheng Sheng, Blacksmith
Nanling Foundry Bureau)
(You mean)
(Zheng Sheng found)
(that all the workshops except Grade A)
were using scrap metal?
Sheng can guarantee
that all Grade A forged swords
can cut through iron
and aren't bad products.
But their whereabouts
are unknown after being produced
by Grade A and sent away.
Sheng was burned alive in the workshop
not long after he mentioned this to me.
The officials said
it was due to improper operation
by the foundrymen.
But Sheng and those old blacksmiths
are diligent and dedicated.
They would never neglect their duties.
Sheng must have been k*lled
after discovering their secret.
Later,
I tried finding
the families of the other foundrymen,
but they all left Nanling
overnight.
Sheng and I have always been low-key.
I guess
that's why I escaped.
The businessmen and officials in Nanling
collude with each other.
There's no one you can trust.
They downplayed the fire.
I've carefully stayed hidden
so that I can seek justice for Sheng
someday.
Miss Jiang.
I beg you to take me to see Lord.
Lord can sacrifice
his relatives for justice.
He must have a way
to get justice for Zheng Sheng.
Get up first.
Do you have proof?
Yes,
but
I can only hand it over to Lord myself.
Miss Jiang.
I beg you.
Miss Ayan.
Is this the proof?
Sheng can't afford jewelry.
I made this for you.
(He made a knife ring for me.)
You can look into it.
The casting material of it
is different
from those produced by other workshops.
Your Lordship.
Ayan won't lie.
Help her.
Miss Ayan.
This is a big deal.
Stay at Changfeng Estate first.
Once I've investigated this thoroughly,
I'll give you an explanation.
To be safe,
don't mention this
to anyone else.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
I compared the footprints
with Miss Ayan's shoes
and they're a match.
How is Miss Ayan
related to the Yans?
You mentioned
that Zhao Wu's wife
was once a sl*ve.
Yes.
She seems to be freed from sl*very
only after Zhao Wu entered the palace.
sl*ves often ate kitchen slop.
Many people who escaped sl*very
would be traumatized.
Miss Ayan doesn't like to mix food
when she cooks.
Could
Ayan be a descendant of Zhao Wu?
My Lord.
Why is Miss Ayan here?
Don't be afraid.
He's not a bad guy.
Go back first.
I'll find you later.
Lord has begun
to doubt our relationship.
We should be more cautious from now on.
What is my relationship
with you?
You have no shame, Commander Wei.
I guess
you're not afraid of being exposed.
I worried for nothing.
Did something happen to Miss Ayan?
No comments.
You just said I'm not a bad guy.
These are two different things.
Why did Ayan meet Pei Yan?
I'm afraid
it's because of the fire
at Foundry Bureau.
She must have been following us
to find an opportunity
to complain to Pei Yan.
If she tells him about Yan Sisters,
won't we be put in a passive position?
That depends
on how much
Miss Ayan knows about Yan Sisters.
However,
Pei Yan
has more pressing matters right now.
Did we get it wrong?
Is there a different story
to the military equipment case?
Could Foundry Bureau
have hidden a batch of premium weapons?
But where did they go?
We can only close the military
equipment case with corruption.
Otherwise,
if His Majesty's suspicion resurfaces,
our return to the imperial court
will be delayed.
One more thing.
I found out
that Zheng Sheng
who Miss Ayan mentioned
was the owner of the old house
that I found when I was
looking for the traces
of the Yan Sisters some time ago.
I can't believe
they're linked to the Yan Sisters.
I'll see if I can find out
more information from Miss Ayan.
No.
Our priority now
is the military equipment case.
Go to Foundry Bureau
to find a list of the foundrymen
that included Zheng Sheng.
Don't alert anyone.
As for the Yan Sisters,
it won't be hard
to get information out of Ayan
since she trusts me.
Shaojun.
Are you free?
Commander Wei?
Sanlang mustn't find out
about the military equipment case
before we find the truth.
Leave first.
Yes.
Sanlang, come in.
You wanted to see me, Sanlang?
Now that the case is closed,
I'd like to ask
when you plan to return to Qingkang.
The military equipment case
still needs to be wrapped up.
Returning hastily
might do His Majesty wrong.
Why don't you
go back first, Sanlang?
If I go back
without you,
won't that make me negligent?
I didn't think it through.
You'll
have to stay at Changfeng Estate
a little longer.
You're too kind, Shaojun.
Speaking of which,
I saw Miss Ayan outside just now.
Ci was scared of boredom,
so I allowed her to bring Miss Ayan back
for a small get-together.
I see.
Spy on Pei Yan and Ayan.
Let me know
if they meet in private.
Yes.
Just stay here.
Let me know if you need anything.
Miss Jiang.
I don't know how I can thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
You should thank Lord.
Yes,
but
how can I thank Lord?
Miss Jiang.
Do you know what Lord usually likes?
(Lord is willing to help Ayan,)
so she must thank him.
But he's rich
and has nothing to worry about.
What should she get him?
Are you seeing which one is expensive
and could fetch a good price?
You're just in time.
What gift would you like?
Me?
Yes.
What kind of gifts
do men like to receive?
I don't know.
How could you not know?
I never received one.
Has no one ever given you a gift?
They need to have the nerve to do so.
Didn't I give you a sugar people?
Didn't you eat it?
I'll give you one next time then.
It doesn't matter what you give me.
It's the thought that counts.
