[ENG SUB] EP11 雁回时 (贵女) The Glory 陈都灵、辛云来等 Chen Duling, Xin Yunlai | Tencent Costume

=The Glory= =Episode 12= May the Bodhisattva bless us. May the Bodhisattva bless us. (Scholarly Glory) Come on. Mr. Yuwen, any news from the Palace? Have you got any results? Mr. Yuwen, we should be brought to the Supervision. Why have we been locked here? - Yes. - Exactly. This case is of great importance. The details can't be disclosed. I've said before that tonight, there are 12 households in the guild hall, and Pei Dafu's adopted son is one of the heads of these households. If you have any clues, please report them at once. Otherwise... Otherwise, what? Do you plan to kill us? Young Master Zaiye, you don't understand. Tonight, all the people here are already halfway in the gates of hell. The Emperor has granted me the Imperial Sword, which gives me the right to execute before report. After the Zi hour tonight, I will execute one person every two hours until you reveal the identity of Pei Dafu's adopted son. - Mother! - Mother... Mom, Father is innocent. Right? Mom. Speak up, Mom. It's over. Completely over. Don't be afraid. What should we do, Yushan? What are you going to do? This must be related to you. Tell me the truth. What makes you think it's related to me? You and Mr. Yuwen have met twice at night, mentioning a major plan. A few days ago, you vaguely told me that I'd soon understand everything. Since returning to the Capital, I've sensed that you hold some hidden resentment toward Father. But where does this hatred come from? Do you want to take this opportunity to frame Father as Pei Dafu's adopted son as the madam of the family? Nanny Chen, Miss Hanyan has gone mad with fear. Make her stay away from me. Miss Hanyan, please don't make it hard for me. It's not me who is mad; it's you. The whole family might be executed for this. Shut your mouth. Fu Yunxi, you've been in charge of the Zuohang Gang case all along. After investigating for so long, haven't you found any clues? If I had found any clues, how could I end up like this? I think you're covering things up and too scared to go deeper. Even the eunuchs are gossiping, saying that your father likely died last year by suicide due to guilt. Pei's adopted son is clearly your father, Fu Pingsheng. Didn't his father die of illness last year? Because of the Zuohang Gang case, there has been turmoil in the Capital, and many remnants of the Pei faction, unable to bear the pressure, have committed suicide. Now, they're using us as scapegoats. It's only right that the son pays for his father's crimes. Fu Yunxi, don't you admit it? If that's true, (Zheng Ziyan, Mr. Zheng's eldest son) stop protecting your father. Yes. I'm indeed protecting someone. Who? Pei Dafu has a residence in the Capital. A month ago, the Judicial Review received a report saying that someone had seen Mr. Deng's carriage in front of Pei Residence. Zaiye... (Deng Chan, Mr. Deng's granddaughter) Grandfather... Mr. Fu, Pei Dafu has been influential for years, and he likes to invite guests to his residence. All the officials in the court have been invited to his banquets. If we judge based on this, it might not be convincing. Miss Deng's words make sense. Because of this, I instructed to suppress this first. Who is slandering my family? I knew it. I knew it'd be you, You Yong. As I know you used your grandfather's name to sell official positions, you want to slander my entire family. Don't talk nonsense. I saw it. How could I be slandering? Go to hell. Let go. Who are you? Why have you kidnapped us here? - Let go. - Behave yourself. Who are you? Why are you treating us like this? Lingzhi, don't be afraid. What crimes have we committed? Why have we been arrested? Lingzhi. Father. - What are you doing? - Yunxi. - Go back. - Yunxi. Step aside. - Yunxi. - Mom. Don't go. Yunxi, don't come over. We're fine. It's okay. Mr. Fu, we're only following orders tonight. Are you going to defy the imperial edict? This is punishable by death. Mr. Fu, don't make things hard for us. Father. Lingzhi. Lingzhi. Lingzhi. Are you okay, Lingzhi? Lingzhi. Don't go. It's dangerous. Thank you. Fu Yunxi, stop. Give me the saber. Are you trying to ruin your family? Stop right there. Anyone who steps out of the hall tonight is defying the imperial edict. What is the imperial edict? Has anyone read it out loud? This is entirely under the control of Mr. Yuwen. Where is the imperial edict? Since there's no imperial edict, how can anyone be accused of defying it? Those locked in the hall tonight are all family members of high-ranking officials. Even if we are to be executed after the Zi hour, there is still time. Why point swords at us? Who is the one defying the edict and causing chaos? Yunxi. Come here. Lingzhi, don't be afraid. I'm here. Are you hurt? No. - Father. - Are you okay? Mother, take Lingzhi to the hall. Hurry, your aunt... - Behave. - Let go. Aunt Kou. A bunch of blind fools. Don't even know to help me up. Save your strength for your father's funeral. I want to see Mr. Yuwen. Where is he? Mr. Yuwen is too busy to see you now. Everyone, go back to the hall, or I won't be so polite. I have info about Pei Dafu's adopted son. Miss, just tell me your info. I'll pass on the message. This is too serious for you to hear. Stop pretending to be mysterious. Go. (Yinan Guild Hall) Are you alright? Don't worry. Thank you for just now. I don't want your thanks. I want to know the truth. What truth? Since you sent your family out of the Capital, you must've known that this would happen today. If I really knew the truth, why would I wait until today? The Zi hour is near. Aren't you afraid? Torture and devilish tricks... These psychological tactics have been used countless times in the Judicial Review. Haven't you seen through it? Of course, I have doubts. Even if the Pei faction is heinous and the Emperor is presiding over the case, how could they dare to execute the innocent, let alone the family members of officials? But I'm more curious about how much secret wealth that adopted son has to warrant such a major effort. The less you know about this case, the safer you are. This isn't like you. So, what should I do? I've already told you about my mother conspiring with Yuwen Chang'an. Can't you guess that they're behind this crisis that has befallen us? Of course, I guessed it. Then why haven't you done anything? Have you got any info from your mother? No. You're helpless as her daughter, so what can I do? Are we just going to wait? This case is under the control of Mr. Yuwen. We can only wait. Besides, I also want to see what backup plan Ms. Ruan has prepared. Young Master Ziyan has drawn the first lot. Sorry. Take him away. - No! - No! - Mother, no. - Please... Ziyan, Ziyan. Let Father save me. - Mother... - Ziyan. Hurry, save Ziyan. No! Ziyan! It's okay. Don't be afraid. Did they really kill him? Unless everyone has gone mad. No. I can't wait anymore. Whoever that adopted son is, whether it's to save my mother's life or for my own sake, I can't wait any longer. What do you want to do? No, no. Move. I'm innocent, sir. Sir... - Hurry. - No. What are you doing? Let go of me. Go. Hurry up. - Let go of me. - Hurry. Let go of me. Behave yourself. Where is Zhuang Yuchi? Yuchi. It's your turn now. No, no. Sir, let me do it. Let me do it first. Don't take my son. The drawing makes the decision. The rules can't be changed. Take him away. No, no, no. - Don't. - Mom. - Don't take my son away. - Mom. Don't take my son. Mom. Yuchi. No! I know who the adopted son is. Who is it? There are too many people here. Take me outside, and I'll tell you. Take him away. - Go. - Behave yourself. - Yuchi. - Mom. - Yuchi. - Yuchi. Miss Hanyan, Madam, I beg you. Please save my son. I'll do anything for you without any complaints. Does Yuchi really know the adopted son's identity? How would he know about this? I just taught him. It was only to buy him some time. Mom, they can't even protect themselves. What can they do for you? Hurry up. I just heard it. I heard Miss Hanyan and the madam arguing behind the curtain. So... So this disaster today must be related to you. Right? It's related to you, isn't it? What did she say? Who is responsible for this disaster today? Who is the adopted son? You know, don't you? It's your family's master, right? Young Master Zaiye, stop slandering us. Then tell me. Who is the adopted son? Everyone, please listen to me. What we've encountered today is because of Yuwen Chang'an. According to the law and societal customs, this is without precedent. Even in the Palace, even before the Emperor, things must be reasonable. Why must we be slaughtered like this? Miss Hanyan, what do you think we should do? Yes, what should we do? I just went out. There are only about 10 officers in the yard. Right now, there are more of us in the hall than them. Tables, chairs, candlesticks, and dishes can all be used as weapons. Are you willing to charge out with me? Yuwen Chang'an holds the Imperial Sword. If we forced our way out, we'd defy the edict. How cunning and cruel of you. We'll have to die whether we obey or not. If you want to be a coward, go ahead. I would rather die than die unjustly. If anyone in this hall is innocent and unwilling to die in vain, take up weapons with me. If this interrogation is a trap, we'll break through the door and expose it. If Yuwen Chang'an truly kills the innocent, then even if we die, we'll make sure the world knows about it. Miss Hanyan, I'll charge out with you. If we must die today, let's die together with them. I'll go with you. Let's fight. - Let's fight. - Fight. Fight. - Fight. - Fight. Let's go and fight. Let's fight. Mother. No matter what, you must not die today. I can't die in vain either. Are you really going to defy the edict? Where is Yuwen Chang'an? - We want to see him. - Let him come out. - We are all innocent. - Yes. Let him come out. We are innocent. Let him come out. Yes. Who dares to slaughter us? - Go back now. - Let him come out. - Who dares to kill us? - You'll get hurt. Mr. Yuwen, the Emperor is not above the law. Even with the Imperial Sword, you must still obey the law. You have locked us here and wantonly killed us. What's your basis? What evidence do you have? Mr. Chen. Mr. Yuwen invites Miss Hanyan to the study for a discussion. Lead the way. (Virtue and Vice) Miss Hanyan, I truly underestimated you. Mr. Yuwen, as things have come to this, tell me honestly. Was that blood outside human blood, or animal blood? Don't worry. They're all alive. It was just a play. What play? Who is it for? Everyone. From the Emperor down to the people in the guild hall. They are not criminals but witnesses. What were you and my mother doing? Mr. Yuwen, you still haven't married. Is there someone you can't let go of? Since you already know, why bother asking me? Now, in the hall, the families of officials have been so humiliated. Everyone is filled with anger. If they find out that this was orchestrated by my mother, I'm afraid they will tear her apart in a fit of rage. What do you mean? If you refuse to tell me the truth, I'll return to the hall and make everything I know public. You... She's your mother. How can you bear to do this? Then how can you bear it? If you still have feelings for her, why would you want to harm her? Mr. Yuwen, I think I can guess why you've acted this way today. Mother must've coerced you with your feelings. I'm sure you don't want to watch her do something so foolish. While there's still some leeway, tell me the truth, and let's find a way out, okay? A few days ago, the Head of the Yinan Chamber of Commerce sent a message for a meeting, but he was vague in his words, and there was no news for a long time. So, I went alone to Danzhou. I made some inquiries after I met him, and he finally confessed that over the past ten years, an official from the Pei faction had been using them to launder money, involving a huge sum. But this man's identity is mysterious, and he only showed up two years ago. However, it was very dark, and he couldn't see the man's face. He only knows that this man is over 40 and is an official from Yinan in the Capital. So, the 11 people detained in the Palace match these two conditions. And the 12th person is Fu Yunxi's Father, Fu Pingsheng. He passed away last year, but he also matches the head's description. So, on New Year's Eve, I brought the head into the Palace to meet the Emperor. He confessed this to the Emperor, so the Emperor assigned me to this case. So, you sneaked into my home multiple times to discuss this with my mother? She asked me to report this to the Emperor and have Zhuang Shiyang arrested for her sake and for the sake of justice and the well-being of the people. Even so, you have 12 suspects. How can you frame my father as that adopted son? Miss Hanyan... Sir, a female relative claims to have confidential info for you. Let her in. Mother. You told her everything? Xiwen, just listen to me. Let's drop this. Don't be so stubborn. You know me. Mother, even if you want to uphold justice, do you not care for my life at all? Ever since your return, I've tried every way to drive you out, but you insisted on getting involved in this mess. It's not my fault. Even if you want to frame Father as the adopted son, that would never work. Frame? Then today, I'll tell you what the evidence is. Xiwen, what are you doing? - What are you doing? - Go away! Go! Xiwen. Open the door. Miss Hanyan, your mother isn't doing this just for herself. Just let her. I'm Ruan Xiwen, madam of the Zhuangs. Unable to withstand the torture of the Supervision, I voluntarily confess today. My husband, Zhuang Shiyang, is Pei Dafu's adopted son. In our backyard kitchen, there's a secret passage directly to Pei Dafu's residence. Something's wrong. (Seclusion, Zhuang Residence) (Two years ago) (Rear garden, Pei Dafu's residence) I'm innocent, Eunuch Pei. The Emperor is wise. I'm innocent. (Dutiful and Blessed) Someone is framing me. How could there be a secret passage in my house? The evidence is right in front of you, and your wife has confessed. You can't deny this. (Scholarly Glory) Bring the Zhuangs to the backyard. Keep an eye on them. Father, is Aunt Hanyan not leaving? Don't worry. She'll be fine. My Lord, are you okay? It's fine. What's going on? The Emperor has ordered us to work with the Supervision on this. Mr. Yan needs you. - Let's go. - Yes. May the Bodhisattva bless us and protect our family through this calamity. - Mom. - May the Bodhisattva bless. Father has been deceiving us. Even you didn't know about this, right? May the Bodhisattva bless us. I don't believe it. How could Father be an evil man? When Yunxi returns to the Judicial Review, he'll investigate this thoroughly. Someone must be framing us. May the Bodhisattva bless us. May the Bodhisattva bless us. May the Bodhisattva bless us. Nanny Chen, you should leave. Why stay? Madam, allow me to speak out of turn and call you Xiwen. Back then, the Ruan family was prominent, but now, only you and I are here. After all these years, I know that you don't just see me as a servant. If you don't mind, let me accompany you on your last journey. Mr. Yuwen, where is my master? What does he say? Zhuang Shiyang refuses to admit it, but the evidence is irrefutable, so he can't deny it. Take account of all the Zhuangs and bring them to prison. There's no need to wait until autumn. Execute them at the Wu hour tomorrow. Zhuang Shiyang, the master, Ms. Wei, the grandmother, Ruan Xiwen, the wife, Zhou Ruyin, the concubine, Zhuang Yushan, Zhou's daughter, Zhuang Yuchi, Zhou's son. There are six people in Zhuang Shiyang's family. Take them away. What's going on? Why isn't Zhuang Hanyan listed? According to the family register, Zhuang Hanyan, the lineal daughter, was removed from the family register two years ago and adopted by Zhang Youchang from Nanzhang, Danzhou. She is not a Zhuang family member. Take them away. Yuchi, Yushan. - Yuchi, Yushan. - Yushan. - Go. - Yuchi.
