You've taken peoples money again haven't you?

He came all the way from the terrible bridge just to see you.

The least you could do is take a look.

If you don't like him you can leave any time.

I am leaving.

You can't leave you just got here.

He's the one?

I don't like him.

So, you don't like the butcher Zhu

How about bamboo digger Zhou?

Coolie Su?

What about farmer Fang?

I really have to go.

Just how many people did you take money from?

Which of them

are not here for matchmaking?

Auntie, I know you're doing it for my own good.

But please, don't do it again.

Jing!

Jing!

Auntie

What are we eating tonight?

Ah-Sheng, auntie has a question for you.

Fatty Chen's oil shop

The Magistrate of Xuzhou

The Prefect of Hangzhou:

One...

Fatty chen, you have managed to keep up your kung fu.

Lei Bin

You're early.

Your bird is still alive?

You!

Even if you die

it will still be alive.

If you keep harassing

my pet bird

I'll kill you.

Chief

Here are this months accounts

showing the tribute paid by the mandarins.

Any news on Drizzle's whereabouts?

For more than a year,

our spies have checked the key spots of the Capital.

My guess is she has left the Capital.

And the other half of Bodhi's remains?

Some have said they are in hands of the Kongdong Sect.

And other have said they are here in the Capital with Zhang Dajing.

Find out immediately.

I will.

Also Drizzle's replacement has already been selected.

The Magician has already caught up with her.

Where is she?

Hebei Province.

Tangzhou County

Turquoise Ye is hereby found guilty

of murdering three people.

Unwilling to marry her fiance, Wang Chongli,

she secretly carried a dagger

and used it on her wedding night

to kill Wang and his parents.

This was a premeditated murder,

and she will not be shown clemency.

She is hereby sentenced to be executed.

The punishment to be carried out tomorrow.

This is your last meal.

What are you doing?

What is it?

Just write it like this:

The murderer Turquoise Ye's limbs are all cold.

She has no pulse.

The cause of death?

She committed suicide by poison to avoid beheading.

Her identity and death have been confirmed.

The body can be buried.

Notify her family that they can pick up the body.

Who are you? Did you bury me in this coffin?

This is tortoise powder.

Once you ingest it,

for the next twenty hours

it's as if you're really dead.

Screw your tortoise powder!

Do you know how scary it was?

I may have looked dead, but I could hear everything.

From this day forward,

I am your father.

and the Dark Stone is your mother.

I will teach you kung fu and swordplay.

You've already died once.

You can either join us or die again.

Look, it's going to rain again!

Quick, let's pack up!

Pack up the clothes!

Here, give me a hand.

Auntie

It's starting to rain

It's going to rain. Help me pack.

Let me help you pack up.

Wait for me!

It's going to rain for a while

Don't stand outside. Come in and have a cup of tea.

Drink some tea....

That sounds good.

She secretly carried a dagger.

Why don't you try them?

dried fruits...

I like those too

thanks for your help today

damned weather

Why doesn't it rain more so I'll have more business?

A few more drops wouldn't kill you, would it?

What do you think of Jiang Ah-Sheng?

What do you mean?

He's been asking about you recently.

About me?

What does he want to know?

You know, how old you are, if you've married,

about your family.

As soon as he asked me,

I knew what he was thinking

What is he thinking?

Jiang Ah-Sheng is single

Wait a minute.

No more matchmaking.

Forgive me if I'm being to direct.

For women,

the most important thing is to find a man.

Okay, don't worry.

The money?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ten Mile Bridge

Vermilion Alley, Butcher Zhu

Are you Butcher Zhu?

A white-haired old man asked me to deliver this letter to you.

Three punches

What are you rushing for?

It's going to rain.

Don't panic. Here.

I'll recite a prayer, and someone will come to help you.

Oh great Buddha,

hear auntie cai's prayer.

Jiang Ah-Sheng, Jiang Ah-Sheng at once!

What sort of nonsense was that?

Quick, cover the noodles!

Auntie

I just happened to be passing by. Let me help you pack up.

What happened to your eye?

I delivered a letter to a lunatic.

He punched me in the face.

Hey you two,

today the rain will definitely last for a while.

Why don't you come in and have some tea?

No, thanks.

I just drank a lot of water.

You...

You don't seem to be in the mood for tea either.

It's a shame.

They're dead.

I just happened to be passing by.

Let me help you pack up. You've just gotten here?

Where is she?

She asked me to keep an eye on her booth.

She's been gone for over 4 hours.

Here, I'll let you pack it up.

Master,

please tell me

that I am lucky enough to start my life over again.

Please, tell me

if I can really have a fresh start?

Go!

The dead shall open the eyes of the living.

The heart yearning for the past is unattainable.

The heart yearning for the present is unattainable.

The heart yearning for the future is unattainable.

The future becomes the present.

The present becomes the past.

Seek not the heart that connects the three!

What is unattainable speaks not of what can be pursued.

I was just passing by. Let me help you pack up.

Auntie

Don't pack it up.

Why? It will get wet.

Let it get wet.

Why id you come looking for me?

I...

I...

Why did you come looking for me?

Let me ask you something.

You have to answer me before it stops raining.

I will only ask once.

Are you willing or not?

What did you say?

You...

Are you willing to marry me?

First, bow to heaven and earth.

Second, bow to your parents.

Since all of your parents are dead, we can skip this step.

Now, bow to each other.

Now, together you go, into the bridal chamber.

Six months later

Do you need my help?

No, thanks.

Honey,

you really know how to use a knife.

I've never seen such perfectly cut tofu.

Can you go to the corner and buy some soy sauce?

And then pick up five pounds of rice at the store?

I've already paid for them.

All you have to do is pick them up.

You haven't left yet?

Just get five pounds.

Don't buy more because it's cheap.

Five pounds. Okay.

Fatty Chen's oil shop

It was an expert. One blow with a machete.

This is the fourth one dead in six months.

This is Fatty Chen's sword.

It wasn't a machete, it was a sword.

Whoever killed him used a sword like a machete.

They used a sword like a machete

to hide their identity.

Could it be Drizzle?

It's not her.

It's not her technique.

What did they take?

All of the classified files

and the account books showing the money paid by the mandarins.

Any news on Bodhi's remains?

We just received a letter from Henan Province.

The Kongdong Sect has sent out two assassins.

I think they know were the remains are.

They are on their way from the Capital

and will arrive within a month.
