Di Renjie: Shen du long wang Page #2

---

So you can read lips

What else do you know?

These kidnappers and the creature are not in league

The kidnappers are mere criminals

I saw them on the street during the parade

I read their lips...

... and deduced they were kidnapping the courtesan

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

My name is Dee

Here on Minister Yan's recommendation

Working for the Da Lisi

I sensed something bad at Sea Dragon Temple

So I rushed here to stop it

How did you sense something would happen here?

Furthermore...

Why do you wear a Da Lisi badge?

I snatched it from somebody there

So the horse isn't yours either

I just borrowed it

Arrest him...

... and treat him as a suspect too!

Prepare a severe punishment! Yes, Sir!

Send Lady Yin back to Swallow House and have her sen by a doctor

Now...

... start looking for that creature!

SWALLOW HOUSE:

These men are Lady Yin Ruiji's patrons

Yes, Sir!

Send them all away!

I am from the Da Lisi

Who are you? What do you want?

Why are you here?

I am Yuchi...

... Chief Minister of the Da Lisi

You were endangered at the temple today

Luckily I got there just in time...

... to fight off the villains

You inhaled poison gas...

... which has left you dizzy

But your health wil recover

If convenient...

I would like to question you

Please forgive me, Sir!

My mind is still in a fog

Can we do it another day?

Another day?

We will be outside to protect you

I will return tomorrow

You have so much calligraphy and painting

It seems that you are fond of poetry

Any findings in the Naval Department search?

Kuang hasn't reported yet

Sir

Our sacred city has now seen two dragons

One in the sea

One at the temple

The attack on our warships...

... and the creature at the temple...

... are different matters

We'll start with...

... what happened at the temple

If the case isn't cracked within ten days...

... you'll have my place and rank

I want Swallow House sealed!

Yes, Sir!

Prepare pen and ink

I want to write poems

Write poems?

Just for self-appeasement

Yes, Sir!

DA LISI:

You're a demon!

Don't touch my wounds!

You bastard!

Idiot!

Don't... don't touch!

You animal! Hands off!

Get your hands off!

SHATUO, PRISON MEDICAL HELPER

Shatuo

Fate plays strange tricks

It brings us together here

Keep quiet!

Have we met?

You're a Uighur from the Huihe tribe

You lost your family in the "Battle of Black Mountain"

You serve Imperial Doctor Wang Pu

Tell me, do I know you or not?

Who are you?

I have no idea who you are

You came to the capital less than half a year ago

Studied in the Imperial Doctor's Department

Unluckily, you were made a medical helper...

... responsible for criminals

You admired the girl next door

But when you saw her, you were too shy...

... to speak to her

What do you want from me?

I matter a lot to you

Your fate will change because of me

I know all about your history.

And your future is in my hands

I can help change your fate

But you have to do one thing for me

He's sick!

I need to examine him

Tell me

Do you have Cat's-paw herbs?

This is the letter recommending Dee

Recommendation letter...

Recommended by Public Court Minister Yan...

Even if the Emperor himself had written this...

... Dee won't get past me!

Sir...

What's going on?

What's this sudden problem?

Keep your distance!

This prisoner...

... has a contagious disease

He must be isolated in the doctor's room

If not...

... this whole prison will be infected

What kind of sickness is it?

Sir...

This is poisonous measles

Untreated, it causes blindness and paralysis

We can contain it by isolating him now

If we fail to act...

... everyone in he Da Lisi...

... will be infected

Quick! Sir!

Aren't you staying to guard him?

No way!

Sit up

No more acting

How did you know?

Cat's-paw causes a rash on the skin

You've studied medicine?

I've been allergic to cat's-paw since I was young

It always gives me a rash

It goes away soon enough

How did you get the keys?

I stole them from the guard

You know...

That powder of yours works very well

It melts in the mouth

You're a crafty man

Tell me...

We two have never met before

How did you know so much about me?

And you weren't even polite to me!

But I kept on talking to you!

Well... You see...

I saw your name-plate on the duty board

Shatuo is a common Uighur surname in Huihe

Not may from Huihe...

... work as government doctors

Seeing your age...

... I guessed that nine years ago...

... you were one of the "Black Mountain" orphans...

... saved by the army

But how did you know...

,,, that my master is Imperial Doctor Wang Pu?

Before I arrived...

... I read the records of the Da Lisi for recent years

I found there...

... a note that this prison lacks doctors

So they intended to ask Wang Pu...

... for eight medical helpers to be assigned here

Your name wasn't on the list

I read those records about half a year ago

So I guessed that...

... you'd been in the Da Lisi for less than half a year

You're saying that...

... you read the Da Lisi records...

... and memorized them all?

The first rule of investigation is...

... forget nothing!

But the official records won't show...

... that I was unlucky

Medical helper is the lowest rank

It's unworthy of your curative skills

Would you say you've been lucky?

As for admiring the girl next door...

You want to ask how I knew?

I just guessed

What?

It wasn't a wild guess

The second rule for investigation...

... is to observe closely

You're the introspective type

If there were a girl next door...

... you might well love her unrequitedly

You're somewhat nervous

Faced by a girl...

... you'd surely be hesitant

I know this

It can't be...

Where do you actually come from?

Minister Yan of the Public Works Department is from my village

He recommended me to work in the Da Lisi

I reported for duty today

You're here to work

So why were you imprisoned?

That's a long story

The Da Lisi is too bureaucratic

Minister Yan recommended me for the post

He thought I could bring some new energy to the place

You have to help me...

... to get out and investigate the case

Where to?

There's an infectious disease in the prison

The officials want us...

... to consult the Imperial Doctor

Do you need to check my specimen box?

Inside it are specimens...

... of vomit from infected prisoners and their hair as well

Fine, fine...

On your way. Open the gate!

Madam

I'll go to prepare the medicine

My jade hairpin...

What's your business?

I am government doctor Shatuo

I am ordered to take up shift duty here

Who is he? My assistant

Dumb Wu

Why are you wearing hats?

Take off your hats!

Go!

Stay back!

Stay back!

How could you know...

... that I hid Mr Yuan's love letters there?

What have you done to Mr Yuan?

YUAN ZHEN:

You're not Mr Yuan, are you?

You're...

... the Courtesan of Luoyang

Admired by thousands of people

While I, Yuan Zhen, don't even have an official post

Yet you've chosen me as your "First Patron"
