What're you doing?

Your coins are fake!

How can it be fake?

Look yourself! Return my blankets to me.

I got these from the exchange house.

It's fake.

Can't trust the exchange houses anymore.

Give me one

"Department Six"

Ji Yaohua, reporting to Lord Li...

The prince said you're a Penglai kungfu master.

He personally recommended you.

You're the first women we've accepted

at Department Six Constabulary.

I hope you won't prove a disappointment.

I'll do my best not to be, sir.

First Constable Avalanche,

will be responsible for assigning your duties.

Here, rank is determined by skill and effort.

Anyone with talent can become one

of the capita

s Four Supreme Constables.

You will first assigned to

Fourth Constable Han Long.

If you have any questions, ask at any time.

Are you Leng Lingqi?

I've long heard of your Skills with a blade.

Yeah! Good!

Lets get ready. That's him!

Wait. Give him this bottle.

The drink you ordered. Enjoy.

Master, everyone is ready.

Good. Wait, though.

I want to know whom he is waiting for.

Aside from the three of us,

no one upstairs knows martial arts.

Downstairs, only five of them

have qigong power,

and only one is a master.

Welcome. This way, please.

Wait!

Another master just came in.

Life Snatcher? Jia San is waiting for him?

Who is he?

His original name is Cui Lueshang.

He's known in the underworld

as a debt collector.

His name means

there's no deb t he can't collect.

How good is he?

He's got a name.

I've heard of debts he's Collected for people.

Nice brohterhood

Department Six Constable,

official business, clear the road!

Department Six Constable,

official business, clear the road!

Run! Department Six is coming!

What a coincidence!

Don't move!

You have the wrong man.

You really thought he wouldn't Come after you?

I'll pay him back.

I'm working on a deal, a big one.

Once I make the handoff,

I'll give you everything.

What big deal might that be?

Fake coin cast?

That's some nerve!

You're not afraid they'll catch you?

I'm sitting here, so obviously not!

Tell the Sheriff King,

we have the Drunken Moon surrounded!

Emotionless,

the Department Six Constables are here.

Ignore them. Wait for orders.

Is the money ready?

The wine is poisoned!

Body separation magic!

Which is the real Jia San?

Everyone stay calm! Don't panic, stay calm!

What! Don't run! Calm down!

Arrest everyone.

Assassins!

Protect the master!

After them!

Han Long, after them!

Yes Sir

Don't leave! Pay your bills first!

Big Wolf! Watch the door over there!

Who are you people?

I have some questions I'd like to ask you.

Move!

Cage formation!

Yes Sir

Lock the top!

This isn't Jia San, either!

Arrest him!

Get up!

I'm not working with Jia San!

I'm trying to Collect a debt!

Then why were you helping him?

You attacked first,

how was I supposed to know who you were!

On a Case of this importance.

You acted alone.

It's lucky that they had told me

what you were planning.

Good job.

Fantastic! They wrecked our sign, too!

It guess it's time we disclose our identity.

Lord Liu, Zhuge Zhengw

You are Zhuge Zhengwo?

The very same.

We were working on the same case tonight.

I already have Jia San's signed confession.

Working on a case?

What gives you the authority?

Were the Divine Constabulary.

Divine Constabulary?

Were all from the Divine Constabulary.

Weve been trying to trace

the mint's stolen coin cast.

I've never heard of any Divine Constabulary.

Department Six is the only Constabulary with

the royal mandate in the capital!

Arrest them all!

Yes, sir!

What do you think you're doing?

Wait!

His Majesty the Prince approaches!

Your Highness.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What's going on?

Only a small matter, Your Majesty.

We encountered these people

calling themselves the "Divine Constabulary",

imitating service to the Crown.

This is a misunderstanding.

Zhengwo, why didn't you show them

the royal golden badge?

Show them.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Long live the king.

I, by secret order of the Crown,

lead the Divine Constabulary

in investigation of cases of national

import large and small

and wield the direct authority

of the Crown itself.

Your Highness, please rise.

I expect your constabularies

to cooperate in the future.

The king's orders must be carried out.

Yes, My Prince.

Lord Liu,

I am willing to turn Jia San

and the coin cast over to Department Six,

but this Cui...may I ask for him in exchange?

He is a criminal suspect!

No I'm not!

We asked him to help with out investigation.

I'd very much appreciate if you let him go.

Lord Liu,

we shouldn't trouble the king

with minor disputes like this...

I understand. Release him!

Yes, sir!

Get moving!

Move

Lord An, our mission is complete!

IS it?

Yes!

There's one minor detail left.

Now the mission is complete.

Run!

I am Department Six constable Han Long,

Lord An.

It's Surprising to learn that you're

as skilled in Western qigong as you are

benevolent in sharing your profits.

That was incredible flattery.

When I burn your beard off,

will you still want to flatter me?

Master,

if you wanted to kill the Sheriff King,

why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was afraid the show wouldn't be

as good if you knew.

But it turned out for the best.

The Sheriff King trusts you

more than ever now, doesn't he?

You figure out how to explain

what happened here!

Brilliant work!

This is the very same cast we lost,

and now it's back in our hands!

My lord, perhaps we don't need

to recall the coins currently in circulation?

Are you're sure this is the cast you lost?

I'm absolutely certain.

I sincerely hope nothing

like this happens again.

I guarantee it wont.

I will redouble my caution in the future.

Your promises are useless!

Department Six will take

over guard duties at the mint.

Escort Lord Xu home.

Yes, sir.

Eagle Squad, escort them home!

Yes, sir!

Congratulations on solving

the counterfeiting case.

This is another success for Department Six!

What good does that do us?

Han Long is dead

and not one of the assassins

was captured alive.

Who wants me dead?

We don't have a clue.

It was my failure.

Han Long was killed

because of his own failings.

You'll take over his position.

Leng Lingqi,

explain why you went after Jia San alone.

I thought the three of us would be enough.

Jia San involved in countless cases

and escaped us every time.

And despite the importance of this case,

you gambled its success on three men.

Finding Jia San was hard enough as is.

If the Divine Constabulary

hadn't ruined Brother Leng's plan,

he would have caught Jia San.

Give me your badge.

Lord, this...

This is the coin cast that was stolen.

Put it back.

My Lord, look again, it's..

I've looked very carefully,

and this is the coin cast we lost.

But it's damaged, we can't use it.

Do you have any more questions?

And if I hear different opinions from anyone,

it could cost your family their lives,

understand?
