If I die,

the Log will be sent to the Bureau.

Shen,

I've been waiting for a while.

You're back.

What a beautiful wife you have.

You lucky bastard.

You must be hungry.

I'll go buy some groceries.

No need.

Just make us some noodles.

Captain Pei,

there's still some left in the pot

if you want more.

No, I'm good.

Let's get down to business.

I've made some progress on

Master Guo's case.

I find it quite interesting.

Interesting?

Guo went to the Golden Pavilion

to meet someone.

Guo's driver said,

there was a young man waiting

for him inside.

Don't wait for me.

Yes.

Guo's death was not a coincidence.

It was planned.

I found this in Guo's mansion.

I will meet you there, -Bei Zhai

Bei Zhai.

Correct.

That young man must have been Bei Zhai.

Bei Zhai is the key

to solving Guo and Ling's cases.

I've been investigating

Bei Zhai's paintings,

and discovered some juicy information.

Monk Jinghai at Yong'an Temple said...

You know him, right?

Yes.

The monk said,

you've collected a handful of

Bei Zhai's works.

Where's Master Jinghai?

In the Imperial Prison.

His life depends on what you're

about to say.

If you say his accusation is false,

I will get rid of him for you.

But if you want to save him,

then give me Bei Zhai's paintings.

I don't have any.

You're a stubborn man.

The monk said you two were friends.

But that word doesn't seem to

mean anything to you.

Pei Lun.

You're trying to frame me

as Bei Zhai's accomplice.

Nonsense.

My future rests on these two cases.

How could I not take them seriously?

Besides,

you know better than I do

whether this is a false charge.

Why are you picking on me?

You want to know why?

Among all the Imperial Guards,

I had only one friend.

His name was Yin Cheng.

And you killed him.

What are you looking for?

The "Construction Log of the Dragon Ship."

Give it to me,

and I'll guarantee you safe passage.

What are you going to do?

I ask and you answer.

Don't even think about lying.

Was it you who disguised yourself as a man

and made an appointment with Guo?

Was it Ding who killed him?

You think I won't kill you?

I must be crazy,

for rescuing an assassin

who tried to kill the Emperor.

I didn't.

Stop lying!

I will make you confess

one way or another.

It was me.

I disguised myself

and lured Guo to the Golden Pavilion

for Master Ding to kill him.

Who's behind all this?

Nobody.

Don't try to be a hero.

If you don't want to drown, give me a name.

Now!

Nobody.

It was me.

You would die for him?

Confess!

Speak!

One day, when I was very young,

my father was teaching me to paint.

Imperial Guards broke into our house.

They accused my father of writing poems

that slighted Master Wei.

Our entire family was torn apart,

just because my father wrote some poems.

Some were killed, others exiled.

I was banished to a brothel in the south.

When the ship arrived at Datong River,

I jumped.

I didn't know drowning

could be so tortuous until that moment.

It was he who saved me.

He promised me

he would do everything he could

to kill Wei,

and wipe out his entire party.

So you decided to join him

because of that one promise?

Aren't you fed up with this life?

Life is hard. Nobody can change that.

You Honor.

He's alive

but unlikely to wake up.

Criminals dare to kill

and commit arson on our very doorstep.

This is certainly a first

in the Great Ming Dynasty.

You dare call yourselves the

Imperial Guards?

You bastards

Shen Lian.

Shen Lian.

Shen Lian.

What did he say?

I don't know.

Colonel.

Yes?

Let's speak in private.

Shen has something to do

with Guo and Ling's death.

Colonel,

this might be the most important case

in the history of the Dynasty.

This is conjecture.

Do you have proof?

The Archives have burned down,

but parts of the documents remain.

I've looked into Shen and

Guo's backgrounds.

Eight years ago, in the Battle of Sarhu,

Shen and Guo served together in

the West Army.

Though the army was destroyed,

Shen and Guo survived.

I believe the two

already knew each other back then.

Who's there?

Show yourselves.

How bold of you.

Let me take care of them.

You...

Lu Wenzhao.

Ding.

Kill him.

Chong'er.

Tens of thousands of men

cut down like grass.

If we don't want to die like this,

we must find another way to live.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

Another way to live.

Find another way to live.

I don't want to die.

Another way to live.

Guo.

Lu and Guo knew each other.

Shen Lian.

Yin Cheng was my friend, too.

Thanks to the breastplate,

the wound isn't lethal.

Thank you, Mrs. Shen.

I'm not...

This is Bei Zhai.

Colonel.

Inspector Zheng didn't die.

He said it was you.

I already covered it up.

You killed Ling, didn't you?

Pei Lun figured it out.

I covered that up as well.

Why? Because you once saved my life.

We're friends.

Friends.

You and Guo knew each other

eight years ago.

You fought shoulder to shoulder

in the army.

You told him to sabotage the ship,

then killed him.

Then asked me to burn down the Archives.

Now you say we're friends?

You didn't have to get involved.

Why did you save Bei Zhai and Captain Pei?

You're colluding with the rebels.

I can turn you in.

Go ahead.

I have people everywhere,

in every administrative and

judicial department

in every state and prefecture.

We can make black become white

by just tapping our fingers.

How can you fight me?

You plan to overthrow the Emperor?

Wei and his party

lost the people's trust long ago.

They'll be overthrown sooner or later.

You can't be willing to let these

useless scumbags rule you.

We shouldn't be wasting time like this.

Now we need to get the real job done.

Go in there,

and finish off Bei Zhai and Pei Lun.

Give me the

"Construction Log of the Dragon Ship,"

then you can live.

You want me to trade Bei Zhai

and Pei Lun's lives for mine.

What's the difference between you and Wei?

You're the same.

Get off your high horse.

You think you're a good person?

How many lives have you taken

with your blood-stained hands?

Does your master know

you plan to kill Bei Zhai?

Move.

The "Construction Log of the Dragon Ship"?

Trying to steal it and run?

$0?

I'll keep it for you.

Go to sleep.

Lu must be looking everywhere for us.

Don't you think I know that?

You have Bei Zhai and the Log.

What are you afraid of?

We can't do anything to Lu.

His people are everywhere inside

the system.

What about the Court of Censors?

I have something on the Imperial Censor.

He'll be more than willing to help us.

You can't leave her?

We'll all die together then.

Your honor,

let's wait for the rain to stop.

Let's wait for the rain to stop.

Lu Wenzhao!

You posted arrest warrants citywide

without your superiors' approval.

Do you think we don't exist?

Chief,

if you don't punish this dog severely,

how will your men listen to you in

the future?

Captain Shen of the Northern Bureau

and Captain Pei of the Southern Bureau
