00:00The End
00:10It's only been a few days, and now you're...
00:14...acting all virtuous and graceful.
00:17This is....
00:19Greetings, gentlemen. I am Aung Yan ping Si Keo Le from Nanjiantiang in Danjiang.
00:24I live next door to Mr. Zhang Yucheng and his wife,
00:26and have long been acquainted with Miss Honey Yen.
00:31Forgive me, I didn't notice you earlier, Mr. Yen.
00:34But if I recall, you failed the provincial exams.
00:37What brings you to the capital?
00:40I came with fellow townsmen to broaden my horizons.
00:43Was it to you?
00:44Of course, it doesn't.
00:46It's been a while.
00:48Here's a toast to you.
00:50Oh, dear.
00:51Miss Honey Yen, please keep your distance.
00:53Fear you might bite my other ear as well.
00:56What do you mean?
01:03Mrs. Xiu Wan, haven't you heard?
01:05Miss Honey Yen was truly remarkable.
01:06Back in Dianzhou,
01:09biting off ears was nothing for her.
01:11Stealing from the neighbors,
01:13and beating up children was also her doing.
01:14She's known as the wild and unruly girl.
01:16When I saw her just now, I didn't dare to recognize her.
01:20How come she's changed completely?
01:23Since coming to the capital,
01:25she's even acting like a proper lady now.
01:33Not just in Dianzhou.
01:35She was dominating even in our household.
01:37What an embarrassment.
01:39Look at her now.
01:40Only when leaving the house,
01:42does she act so pretentious.
01:44Mr. Young Yen,
01:49is there some misunderstanding?
01:51Honey Yen is no misunderstanding.
01:52Everything he said is true.
01:56Beating up children.
01:58That was giving back what I got.
02:00Stealing from the neighbors.
02:02That was reclaiming my jewelry after it was taken.
02:05With nowhere to seek justice.
02:07In a fate of rage.
02:09Bit of half your ear.
02:11Was it not because you called me the barefoot ghost?
02:14Stole my shoes and socks and forced me to walk barefoot on thorns and brambles
02:18until my feet bled for your amusement.
02:21I only fall back in desperation.
02:23You've studied classics since childhood.
02:25Yet you took the lighting tormenting a helpless girl
02:28without even the slightest sense of shame.
02:30Still sharp-tongued as ever.
02:31I was raised in the rural lands of Dianzhao.
02:35Lacking proper manners and refinement.
02:37But the Zhuang family is strict in upright.
02:39And father is strict in disciplining his children.
02:42I've been home but two short months.
02:44Yet under my father's guidance.
02:46I've worked hard to shed my old habits.
02:48Lest I bring shame upon my parents.
02:51The ancients said a gentleman.
02:52Even when parting ways does not speak ill.
02:54Yet when you saw me today.
02:56Then cast aside propriety.
02:58And humiliate me over past grievances.
03:00Who would dare befriend you after this?
03:03You, Miss Yang.
03:11This is a joyful gathering.
03:13Let's not dampen the mood.
03:16Hurry back.
03:17Enjoy your meal.
03:18Mr. Zhuang, with such a daughter?
03:20Your home may soon know no peace.
03:25How insolent.
03:30Mr. Zhuang, why did you two choose to ride in the same carriage with me?
03:47For the incident at the banquet.
03:50Thank you for stepping up and saving our family from disgrace.
03:55Yes, I'm deeply grateful.
03:58Naturally, I must properly thank you.
04:01No need for the courtesy.
04:03We are family.
04:04Don't mention it.
04:08You've suffered injustice today.
04:10Back in Danzhou.
04:12Your foster parents should have protected you.
04:14How could they allow that scoundrel to humiliate you so?
04:18Foster parents have cared for me tirelessly.
04:21I don't want to worry them anymore.
04:27You've always been so thoughtful and caring.
04:31Unlike my two little troublemakers.
04:34The household matters are many.
04:35It's my first time managing them.
04:37So there are bound to be lapses.
04:39Miss Han Nian, please assist me whenever you can.
04:43This is all for the sake of our dignity.
04:46You handle everything with care.
04:48There is no need for me to worry.
04:50It's just that during today's banquet,
04:52Yochi claimed he's confident about tomorrow's test.
04:55All the elders are to see his fine work.
04:58You may need to remind him to stay focused.
05:00If he falters and father is shamed,
05:04I fear father's anger may turn on you,
05:07blaming you for poor upbringing.
05:10Thank you for your advice, Miss Han Nian.
05:13This spot is indeed secluded.
05:44Is it convenient for you to leave here?
05:47I'm fine.
05:49Why are you here?
05:51Do you remember Yan Ping?
05:57The one whose ear you bit off?
06:00He's in the capital.
06:03He's staying at the Yan Nian Guild Hall.
06:05Never expected I'd run into that scoundrel again.
06:10What's he doing here?
06:11It's likely, Miss.
06:16Rose do it.
06:19Shou Rue Yi.
06:21She sent someone to Dian Shou.
06:23I'm just speculating.
06:25Since she already sees me as a rival,
06:27she'd want to know her enemy.
06:29I don't know other tricks.
06:31She has up her sleeve.
06:32Yan Ping has held a grudge for years,
06:37and he is a threat.
06:39Should we get rid of him first?
06:40Fu Yongci is watching you.
06:43Don't act recklessly.
06:45But right now,
06:46there's another matter.
06:48Today's incident was just an appetizer.
06:52Maybe we don't have to start with the key
06:54if we aim to bring them down completely
06:56and seize the power.
06:59In their hands,
07:00we must address the root cause.
07:02That country girl
07:06puts on the ears of a noble lady,
07:09flaunting her pathetic literary skills.
07:11Now she managed to win father's favor.
07:13Because of her,
07:14I'm stuck here studying.
07:18You're acquainted with the frivolous.
07:19Jiewa,
07:20not spread the word about our.
07:23Miss Hanyan,
07:24find her a husband
07:25and marry her off.
07:26Then she'll stop attracting trouble.
07:27Go and cling to Yang Cui.
07:29Dear sister,
07:30that's not hard at all.
07:38Other girls are flawless,
07:39even under a magnifying glass.
07:42I told you to watch your brother study,
07:45but you're gossiping here.
07:47My sister doesn't know poetry or literature.
07:49Having her watch over me is useless.
07:52If you had any talent,
07:53Mom wouldn't have sent me here.
07:55Enough!
07:56I've started managing.
07:57The slightest mistake could be used against me.
08:00The last thing we need is more trouble.
08:03You troublemakers had better shape up.
08:08Shape up?
08:12Regarding tomorrow's test,
08:15are you fully prepared?
08:20Youchi, sit down.
08:21I hear.
08:24Read this passage.
08:26Made him leader of all the princes.
08:34I brought order to the world.

08:40we might now
08:41be folding our ropes
08:43to the left.
08:45What does
08:46brought order to the world
08:48mean?
08:50Mom,
08:51why are you suddenly asking this?
08:53Mom?
08:54Could it be in tomorrow's test?
08:58You don't need to excel in tomorrow's test.
09:01Just handle it calmly and steadily.
09:03Disgrace the Zhuang family again.
09:05And don't make your father angry.
09:07Today,
09:08you must not step out of this room.
09:11Work on that phrase.
09:14And burn it into your brain.
09:16No more questions.
09:17Yes.
09:19Yes.
09:20I won't embarrass you, Mom.

13:34see
13:50you
13:52see
13:55yes
13:56Sir, may I withdraw from this test?
14:09Why is that?
14:10Scholar He?
14:11While casually reading last night, I came across an essay on this topic.
14:14If I simply replicate it now, it'd be the same as cheating.
14:18Scholar He, you are upholding integrity.
14:22I deeply admire that this is a small test among our Yan and peers for our own enjoyment.
14:29If you wish to withdraw, you may do so.
14:52Your son indeed has the talent of a top scholar.
15:00This topic is drawn from the Alex Sheng Erwen, referred to Confucius' praise of Guanzhong,
15:07meant to assess one's understanding of humanity.
15:10Mr. Zhuang's essay has a polished beginning, cites classical references in the middle,
15:15and ends seamlessly as one cohesive piece.
15:19Truly a masterpiece.
15:20Masterpiece, indeed.
15:22Ma Sang happened to catch the timing.
15:25Oh, it's nothing remarkable.
15:27Mr. Zhuang, you are modest.
15:31Neo!
15:35Neo!
15:35Father, why do you ask this?
15:48The master said Guanzhong acted as prime minister to Dukhuang,
15:50made him leader of all the princes, and brought order to the world.
15:53To this day, people benefit from his gifts.
15:56You can't even remember the original text.
15:58How can you write such a compelling article?
16:01Father is worried, and is renowned for your incredible memory.
16:06But I was not blessed with the same gift.
16:09Then repeat what I just said.
16:14Confucius said...
16:17Said...
16:20This is the son you've raised.
16:24Master, this is my fault.
16:27Yochi lacks a quick mind,
16:30so I had him prepare in advance
16:32to uphold your honor.
16:35What do you mean?
16:37I...
16:38I caught a glimpse
16:40of the question in your study,
16:43so I told Yochi in private.
16:47Yeah.
16:47Yeah.
16:57Did you write this essay yourself?
17:01A ruler must possess the virtue of governance,
17:03thus, the gentleman will choose to serve him.
17:05Yes, father, I wrote it.
17:08Even if the question was known beforehand,
17:11producing such a work is quite an achievement.
17:15Ruoyin,
17:16you're Yochi's mother,
17:17and in charge of household affairs.
17:19You should not have rewrote it to such act.
17:21Master, it is entirely my fault.
17:24Please punish me.
17:26Forget it.
17:29A few words of praise today mean little.
17:31Once the spring exam comes,
17:34the truth will be revealed.
17:36Let's take it one step at a time.
17:39Master,
17:40is there anything in this essay
17:42that might cause trouble?
17:44Only the three examiners have seen it.
17:46I've already filed it away.
17:48Do not let words spread.
17:50If anyone praises or flatters you,
17:55remember to remain humble.
17:58Just say it was a coincidence.
17:59Do you understand?
18:00Understood.
18:02Rest assured, Master.
18:04I will make sure to guide Yochi properly.
18:06Yochi,
18:06tell me the truth.
18:17The examiner said the essay
18:19has the makings of a top scholar,
18:21but you've only studied for a few days.
18:23How could you write something of such quality?
18:26Why?
18:32Are you unhappy
18:33that I'm talented?
18:36In your eyes,
18:38am I nothing but a useless fool?
18:41Sister.
18:43Look at you.
18:44Mr. Yu.
18:50What about you?
18:51Ah, cheers!
18:56To be honest,
18:58the three-year-old is more stunning
18:59than the actresses
19:01of the music institution.
19:04When can I visit her in person?
19:07Leave it to me.
19:09Mr. Yu,
19:10if you're interested,
19:11you can visit anytime.
19:12Deal!
19:13Cheers!
19:15Cheers!
19:16You've been stealing delight these days.
19:19I heard your essay
19:20was highly praised recently.
19:23Tell me,
19:23what exactly did you write?
19:25Come on,
19:27share it with us.
19:28Master Yuqian,
19:29I heard your essay
19:30is comparable
19:31to all the three capitals.
19:33How did you approach the topic?
19:34Could you share?
19:35Please,
19:36tell them
19:37just humble work.
19:40So modest.
19:41You're too humble.
19:42They say the scholars of Yan Yan
19:43are unmatched
19:44and upon meeting today,
19:45I see there are always
19:46ma qi man.
19:48Well said.
19:51Cheers.
19:52Please.
19:53Join us at the table.
19:55All right.
19:56Please.
19:57Please.
19:58Mr. Xia Wang
19:59comes from a scholarly family.
20:00We are truly humbled in comparison.
20:03My father serves
20:04in the Hanlan Academy.
20:06He personally taught me
20:07I have mastered
20:09all the classics.
20:11That's a true scholarly family.
20:12Indeed.
20:13Mr. Xia Wang
20:14Why not seize
20:16the moment today
20:17and emulate
20:17the ancients.
20:19Restate a few lines
20:20from your essay.
20:21Then join the songstress
20:22in harmony.
20:23Let us all learn.
20:25Excellent suggestion.
20:26Restate up for a...
20:27All right.
20:28Share a few lines.
20:29Here we go.
20:31A ruler must possess
20:32the virtue of governance.
20:34Does the gentleman.
20:36The gentleman does.
20:38The gentleman
20:39will choose to serve.
20:40Serve him?
20:41Mr. Xia Wang,
20:41have you forgotten?
20:42You've forgotten it?
20:43No, I haven't.
20:45I haven't.
20:46To the next line
20:46is the gentleman.
20:48Gentleman.
20:51A gentleman values
20:54fairness and virtue.
20:57Haven't you all
20:57not seen it?
20:59How would you know?
20:59I haven't seen it.
21:01Have you?
21:01Have a drink?
21:02No, let's drink.
21:04Full of talk
21:05about sages
21:05reeking of alcohol.
21:07How can one
21:08write like this?
21:09Who's causing
21:10a ruckus here?
21:12Who are you?
21:13Let's check it out.
21:13Let's go.
21:15Let's go.
21:16Mr. Xia Wang,
21:17such firemen
21:18must be punished.
21:19Please.
21:22You'll take a look.
21:23Yes.
21:31Who are you?
21:34Where did you come from?
21:36Showing off
21:37before the sound
21:38of a junior compiler?
21:39Yes.
21:40Exactly.
21:42A gentleman
21:43must seek wisdom
21:44from the great emperors
21:46governing with virtue
21:47and using law
21:48as a last resort.
21:49If Confucius
21:50knew a scholar
21:51like you,
21:52he'd die of shame.
21:53What nonsense?
21:55That quote
21:56was from your essay.
21:58You don't even
21:59recognize your own words.
22:01I don't need to.
22:03Exactly.
22:04Memorize it all you want.
22:05It seems you hardly
22:09live up to your name.
22:10Just an empty reputation.
22:12Not worth my time.
22:14Let's go.
22:14Yo.
22:15Oh.
22:16Hey, where are you?
22:17Out of foolishness.
22:18Mr. Xia Wang,
22:19he's not worth your attention.
22:21Let's go up and drink.
22:22We ignore him.
22:24Drink out.
22:24Simxiang Master
22:26Zhu Wang
22:27is about to cause
22:28trouble again.
22:29Miss Zhu Wang,
22:30as they say.
22:33Zhu Wang, honey.
22:35What a coincidence.
22:36Mr. Yu,
22:37come here.
22:39Must be fate.
22:41This is the one
22:41you seek right here.
22:42Greetings,
22:43Miss Zhu Wang, honey.
22:44That's right.
22:46I am Yu Yuong.
22:48Tim's fate
22:48has brought us together.
22:49I just heard.
22:51Be careful.
22:52Zhu Wang, honey.
22:58Apologize to
22:59your future husband.
23:01Yuqi,
23:02this is a public setting.
23:04I advise you
23:05to restrain yourself.
23:06Don't disgrace
23:07your own family.
23:09Zhu Wang, honey.
23:10Don't be ungrateful.
23:12Miss,
23:13you are
23:13tonight.
23:14I shall decide for her.
23:16She will be
23:17betrothed to you.
23:20Prepare a fine guest room.
23:22Yuo,
23:23they'll concern
23:23the marriage tonight.
23:25Yes?
23:25But it's too fast.
23:26That's Miss Yu.
23:27Hello, congratulations.
23:29Han Yan Zhou Bian, honey.
23:32Did I say
23:33you could leave?
23:38From the judicial review,
23:40why are you here,
23:41Miss Han Yan?
23:43Mr. Fu Sama's Yu?
23:44Miss Han Yan.
24:05Another time.
24:35She requires bait. What bait are you using?
24:39Isn't she sitting right in front of me?
24:50She's got excellent sword skills.
24:52I'd actually like to spar with her again.
25:02Must you force me this way?
25:03Miss Honey, what do you mean?
25:07Could it be that you know that Bandi?
25:09I don't know her.
25:11What is her background? How long have you known her?
25:13And what's your relationship?
25:15I don't know what you're talking about.
25:17Since you arrived in the capital, I've helped you multiple times.
25:20Yet you still don't trust me.
25:24Please forgive me. I don't know.
25:27What exactly you want me to say?
25:31Your guard is impressive.
25:32In the capital, fewer words mean fewer troubles.
25:37A fish keeps its mouth shut.
25:39It's often harder to catch with a hook.
25:42If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.
25:45What are you doing?
25:51If I were to kill you right now,
25:54do you think she would show herself?
25:55Even the vice minister of judicial review cannot take lives so recklessly.
25:59Not if it's a commoner,
26:01but if it's a bandit criminal,
26:03then it's simply execution before reporting.
26:07Finally took the bait.
26:19He's tricking you.
26:20What the hell?
26:23What the hell?
26:24What the hell?
26:24Let's go.
26:54Who are you really?
27:12Speak!
27:14Let her go.
27:16Run.
27:24This is the second time you tried to kill me.
27:30I thought you were just a sly fox.
27:32It's out.
27:34Wolves hunt in pairs.
27:36You forced me to do this.
27:41Mr. Gaal.
27:42Mr. Gaal, please.
27:43This way, please.
27:44Mr. Gaal, please.
28:01Serve the dishes.
28:03Sure, sir.
28:06Mr. Gaal, any news from the Ministry of Punishments?
28:09Though the three judicial officers are working together to eradicate the remnants of Pei's faction.
28:15Pei Dafu had an adopted son still hiding in the capital.
28:19Are you aware of that?
28:21Two years ago, Pei Dafu held a banquet.
28:25I happened to catch a glimpse of his adopted son.
28:27The man stood nine feet tall with a face full of bristling whiskers.
28:32When he spoke, his voice rolled like thunder.
28:37It was truly awe-inspiring.
28:41You really saw him.
28:43Why would I lie?
28:46Here.
28:47It's Gaal.
28:57What do you want?
28:58Miss Hanyan is smart and resourceful.
29:02Why don't you take a guess?
29:04And the most frequent Chailing Tavern of capital officials hides a secret chamber.
29:10If you push me any further, spread the word about what I saw and heard.
29:15Chailing Tavern will never get customers again.
29:18As for the adopted son they mentioned, I will reveal that as well.
29:24Miss Hanyan, play with fire and you might get burned.
29:28Play with fire.
29:31I am the fire.
29:41Sir.
29:46Those two at Hongying Hall, they were the heart of the son.
29:49Bring them back for interrogation.
29:52Yes, I will handle it at once.
29:54I won't interrupt your fine evening with Miss Hanyan.
29:57Cut it out, how?
29:58What about the matter?
30:03Are we going to proceed?
30:06You get lost.
30:11What is the matter?
30:13Does it concern me?
30:14Miss Hanyan, the case of the adopted son is critical.
30:18If you're interested, why not join the judicial review?
30:21We have secret informants across the capital, as you saw tonight.
30:26Chailing Tavern is part of our property.
30:29If you're willing to work as a wang, I'll ensure you will compensate.
30:33I'm not capable of such things.
30:34I'm asked to use a fraction of the skills you have to deal with Zhuo Wang Yuqi.
30:38Yuqi and I are bound by blood.
30:40Why would I go against him?
30:42What about those instigators earlier?
30:45Weren't they hired by you?
30:46I only just arrived in the capital.
30:49I just wanted to see the bustling taverns.
30:52How could I know anyone?
30:53Where is she?
30:57She's here.
30:58Here she is.
31:02Miss, we finally found you.
31:03We thought you ran off.
31:06Indeed.
31:08Everything you asked for is done, but there's still half the payment left.
31:13Right.
31:14Take the silver and leave quickly.
31:19Much appreciated.
31:21Call us next time to back the drinking out.
31:23Quite a show.
31:25Your double act is more entertaining than the opera.
31:30It's getting late.
31:32I'll be going now.
31:34We should stay out of each other's way.
31:37From now on.
31:40Take care, Miss Hanyan.
31:44Does it hurt?
31:55Nothing serious.
32:06You were too reckless.
32:09He wouldn't actually kill me.
32:11Why did you have to fight him?
32:12His mind is as deep as a pool.
32:15It's unfathomable.
32:17Never trust him easily.
32:21He may not now want to arrest you.
32:25Moreover, today, I've also found a handle against him.
32:28In recent days, he may not dare act rashly.
32:33Be careful not to injure him.
32:34Don't worry.
32:36However...
32:38His subordinates mentioned one unfinished task.
32:44Their words seem to involve me in some way.
32:47Leave me alone.
32:59Mr. Yu.
33:02Does your grandfather know you're indulging in pleasure and neglecting your duties?
33:07Me mind your own business.
33:09Who are you, anyway?
33:12I'm passing along a message.
33:14Stay away from Mish Zhuang Hanyan.
33:16Don't think about pursuing her.
33:20Well, I'm telling you now.
33:22Well, I will have any woman I fancy.
33:25Trust me.
33:27I can't swim.
33:34The water's shallow.
33:37YI WONG ZHAR.
33:45Hello?
33:48Is anyone there?
33:49Get me out.
33:52Hurry.
33:53Don't let him escape him.
33:55Stop him.
33:57How is he?
33:59He's drunk.
34:00He spilled alcohol on me.
34:03Disgusting.
34:04That was a personal matter for you.
34:07It can't be counted in the stipend.
34:18Mrs. Zhuang, you're here.
34:20Uh, congratulations, Mrs. Zhuang.
34:22Son should aspire to be like Zhuang's son.
34:26Indeed.
34:27What's there to celebrate?
34:28You always said your son was unambitious, uninterested in scholarly pursuits.
34:33Turns out it was deliberate modesty.
34:36A punishment in order.
34:37That's right.
34:38Don't pretend you don't know.
34:40Your son's essay has stunned the capital.
34:43Even the emperor has heard of it.
34:46This morning, his majesty summoned Yan Nian Giao Tao, requesting the finest essays for review.
34:51Your son's bright future is about to come.
34:55His majesty reviewed the papers.
34:56I knew nothing of this.
34:58Mr. Zhuang, stop pretending.
34:59When you host the victory banquet after this spring exam.
35:02Be sure to invite us.
35:05That's right.
35:06Mr. Zhuang may have an excellent memory.
35:08Capable of reciting the classics.
35:11But when it comes to literary talent, you might be overshadowed by your song.
35:15Mr. Zhuang is truly anxious.
35:43You've come just in time.
35:45What's going on?
35:47Mr. Zhuang, your arrival is timely.
35:49Saves us the trouble of sending for you.
35:57Ifty caties of white kogong grass.
35:59Five lousy juju peach, hezena plum, and water caltrum.
36:03Got it.
36:03Before the ritual, all offerings must be placed atop the white kogong grass.
36:07To show reverence.
36:08Yes.
36:09Mom.
36:09Mom.
36:09It seems you're the one managing the household now.
36:18You've got everyone running around tirelessly.
36:21You should be studying.
36:22No need to concern yourself with the ritual.
36:25You might not have heard yet.
36:26His majesty has requested my test paper.
36:29This is a great honor for our family.
36:32I had to come share the good news.
36:34Emperor reviewing your paper.
36:38Are you serious?
36:39Scared.
36:41What's the use of reading the useless books all day?
36:44You're nothing but a foolish woman who's not qualified for the exams.
36:48If I achieve greatness in the future, the Zhuangs will certainly not keep you here.
36:53Though we were not born of the same mother, we are still bound by blood.
36:56Why must you be so cruel?
36:58Rong Xiong was in charge for years.
37:00Do you know how much my mom has endured?
37:02I'll make sure you and your mother pay it back in full.
37:05I will never let you off the hook.
37:06Don't drive a dog into a corner.
37:09Don't you understand that?
37:10What do you mean?
37:12If you push me too far, you'll force me to fight you.
37:17Are you certain you can defeat me?
37:23Yochi.
37:25Mom.
37:25What brings you to the kitchen?
37:28His Majesty reviewed my paper.
37:35How did it reach His Majesty?
37:38If word of the leak of questions spreads, it would be a grave crime.
37:42It's only known to us.
37:44How could it get out?
37:46No way, Yochan is trying to hurt me.
37:48No!
37:49Yochi, bad news.
37:52Mr. Han and the judicial review have arrived.
37:54They're summoning everyone to the guild hall.
37:58Let's go.
38:00Go.
38:00Go.
38:00Young Master Zhuang, brought order to the world.
38:16Was this essay written by you?
38:18It was.
38:19Very well.
38:23Then explain this to me.
38:24Why is the essay you wrote recently identical to the essay composed by Vice Minister Han Wanchang 20 years ago?
38:32That piece has been seen by few, and the manuscripts kept in Mr. Han's residence.
38:39I have no idea.
38:40The examiner should explain why this topic was set.
38:45This question was indeed created by me.
38:49In previous tests, students were often tasked with topics on livelihood and governance.
38:57The phrase may seem simple, but it encompasses countless meanings.
39:03It tests the students' knowledge of various schools of thought.
39:07I wonder how young Master Zhuang came too.
39:11It seems Mr. Zhuang has raised the fine son even before the Imperial exam.
39:16He results to cheat, causing such an unproar that His Majesty has taken notice.
39:21Who put it bluntly?
39:23It's a crime of deceiving the Emperor.
39:27Neo, I am guilty.
39:31My son is young and ignorant.
39:33Bring in disgrace to the exam of my family.
39:35I pray for His Majesty's forgiveness.
39:36I shall punish him strictly.
39:39Sir!
39:40What did you say?
39:41It was not written by my brother.
39:44It was He Wenshen who wrote it.
39:45Yes.
39:47It was He Wenshen.
39:48Don't you...
39:49Where is He Wenshen?
39:52I'm here.
39:56Greetings, sir.
39:58What do you have to say?
40:00Sir, on the night before the test, Xiu Xiu took the analytics,
40:04seeking my guidance,
40:05she asked how that phrase should be explained
40:07and requested me to write it down for her.
40:10Only then did I.
40:11The Zhuang,
40:12blinded by fatherly devotion,
40:14had revealed the question himself.
40:17Yu Shiyu...
40:17Where did you get that question?
40:22Father,
40:23I saw guidance from Mr. He.
40:25Dear, but the essay was indeed written by him.
40:27He plagiarized it.
40:31Sir,
40:32may I have a look?
40:35The essay young master Zhu Wang wrote
40:43is not the same as the one I wrote.
40:44Although I have studied for a few years,
40:46I could never produce such a brilliant work.
40:49That night,
40:50I drafted multiple versions
40:51while refining my thoughts.
40:53I have the drafts.
40:55You can check them to verify.
40:58Present them.
40:58This is indeed completely different.
41:13How could this have happened?
41:15Although I inadvertently learned
41:16of the question earlier,
41:17I dared not engage in any dishonest act.
41:19I withdrew on the day of the test.
41:21All the Sirs can vouch for me.
41:22Zhu Wang Yuqi.
41:28Do you have anything else to say?
41:30I'm innocent, Mr. Ye.
41:32Someone must be trying to set me up.
41:34This essay was clearly written by He Wen Shen.
41:37How could it be Han Wenjing's work?
41:39Zhu Wang Yuqi.
41:40Silence.
41:41Father.
41:41The Emperor has issued a decree.
41:43Zhu Wang Yuqi has acted dishout verbally.
41:46He is accused of plagiarism
41:47and moral corruption.
41:49Considering it's not formal,
41:50he will not face severe punishment.
41:52However,
41:53he is permanently barred from future exams.
41:56Take him to the entrance of the judicial review
41:57and display him for three days.
41:59That's the end.
42:00I am innocent.

42:10Please save Yuqi.
