Película SUB español [Juez Bao: Intriga de la academia] | Terror / Suspenso / Traje Antiguo | YOUKU
[Ten days before the palace examination] I shouldn’t have accompanied you for drinks. When I return, I have to climb over the wall. What’s wrong? Are you scared? Three people have already been killed by Yan Luo. Do you really believe in Yan Luo’s Death Sentence? In ten more days, after the palace examination,
[Wan Jin, scholar] I’ll become an official. [Wan Jin, scholar] So what if Yan Luo comes? Have you had too much to drink? [Li Yi, scholar] You shouldn’t say such things casually. Get lost. What on earth is this? Let’s hurry up and go back. Hey, Wan Jin, where are you going?
You go back first. I have a date. Beauty. Beauty. You scared me. Brother Sun! It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me. Save me. [Yingtian Academy] =Judge Bao: Academy Intrigue= That Wan Jin. He said something offensive to Yan Luo. [Li Dazui, scholar] Guess what happened to him? [Li Dazui, scholar] What happened?
Yan Luo sealed his mouth and nose and killed him. His lackey was scared to the point of wetting his pants. Gone mad. Brother, I don’t want to take the exam anymore. I want to go home. [Qi Liang, student] I’m telling you two brothers, don’t you end up like Sun Heyao,
Who was scared of not passing [Twin Brothers, students] the exam and ran away early on. It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here. Li Dazui. Are you making it up? Why would I lie to you? This is so eerie. Are you guys talking nonsense? Don’t you believe it? Four people from Yingtian Academy
Have been killed by Yan Luo. Those who offended Yan Luo didn’t end well. Ten days ago, Feng Choujiao was playing Cuju in the academy, and he delivered a powerful kick. The ball happened to hit the mouth of a Yan Luo statue. He even boasted about his footwork, saying that his technique was amazing.
In the middle of the night, Feng Choujiao heard the sound of a ball bouncing outside the door. But when he opened the door, there was no one there. When Feng Choujiao turned around, the door slammed shut. Yan Luo suddenly appeared before his eyes. Feng Choujiao’s mouth was torn apart,
And he was hung upside down by threads. He died in his room. Another day, Young Master Zhou found a painting of a beauty. He was infatuated with her. He showed off the painting in the academy, but he didn’t know that the painting was brought by a gust of wind
From the Ten Halls of Yan Luo. That night, Young Master Zhou suddenly woke up, only to find that the beauty in the painting had disappeared. He looked up, and Yan Luo fiercely pounced on him from the roof. Young Master Zhou screamed in agony as his eyes were gouged out.
Luo Pang was so frightened by these events that he didn’t dare to use the toilet at night. He had to pass water on a stone by the roadside. But he didn’t notice that the stone was actually a broken Yan Luo statue. The two eyes of Yan Luo stared at him intently.
After Luo Pang returned to his dormitory, despite the hot weather, he felt cold. He heat up the brick bed to make it warm and covered himself with three blankets before falling asleep. Early the next morning, his fat body was charred, turning him into a dried corpse. What kind of strange force is this?
Hey, Brother Bao. Do you believe it? Whenever we encounter supernatural stories, there’s usually a human explanation behind them. It’s often just human affairs. The exam results are out! His Majesty’s beneficence is boundless. Today, our Great Song Dynasty is seeking talented individuals for the nation.
I hope that the students who passed the provincial examination will keep their objective in mind and continue to strive for excellence. The names of those who qualified for the palace examination are listed here, but those who failed the exams need not be discouraged.
Meng Jiao passed the palace examination at the age of 42. You still have more chances. The door of imperial examinations is always open to everyone of you. Even they can pass the exams. That’s right. So what if they pass the provincial exams? They’re already dead. Come on, let’s go.
I didn’t expect the Prime Minister to announce the exam results in person. It takes ten years of arduous study to pass the imperial examination. The imperial examination is the only way out for many students from humble backgrounds. [Ding Wei, Prime Minister] is working hard to help everyone.
I hope all the students live up to expectations [First Place, Wan Jin] and His Majesty’s benevolence [Second Place, Li Yi] By becoming an official, [Third Place, Qi Liang] you will contribute to the nation. [The Court of Judicial Review] Yingtian Academy was established by the late Emperor’s decree, and these matters
Are all under the Ministry of Rites’ jurisdiction. You don’t need to meddle in other people’s affairs. Lives are at stake. Shouldn’t we investigate the truth? Bao Zheng. You’re just a low-ranking official. Focus on your own duties and that will be enough. Stop causing trouble for the Court of Judicial Review. Understand? But…
Alright, alright, I’ll let you investigate. The truth… Does the truth really matter? If we turn a blind eye, what’s the point of wearing this official robe? Bad situation for the white pieces. This is a letter sent by my mentor some time ago. You mean Mr. Ouyang? Yes. Half a year ago,
He was transferred to Yingtian Academy. Now that strange rumors have emerged in the academy, he didn’t mention a word about it. Could Mr. Ouyang be involved in this? Excuse me, can you tell me where Principal Ouyang’s study is? Hey. Where is it? Why is this person acting so strange? Brother Bao.
Take a look first. Why is there no one here? Huh? It’s been a while since anyone lived here. Get closer. Spare me, Yan Luo! I didn’t see anything. Spare me, Yan Luo! I don’t know anything. I won’t be an official anymore. Gone crazy, eh?
Who knows if he’s really crazy or pretending to be. And he dreams all day of becoming an official. He was taken away. Who was taken away? Don’t kill me. I won’t take the exam. Don’t kill me. I won’t take the exam. [Yingtian Academy] Why did that student act like that just now?
[Zi Luo, Superintendent] What happened in the academy, [Qian Zhong, Minister of Rites] you might have heard something, right? How could such rumors circulate in the academy? Why is the Court of Judicial Review also meddling in the academy’s affairs? Lord Zi Luo, you’ve misunderstood. Rumors are already floating around about this.
I’m worried about Principal Ouyang, so I came to visit. Principal Ouyang went out a month ago, and Zi Luo here takes care of the daily affairs. We have important matters to attend to. Please leave, both of you. Sir. With this weather, we might not be able to return.
Can we stay overnight in the academy? During the imperial examination, there is a shortage of lodging space. I hope you understand. Please bear with us, sir, and allow us to stay for one night. Thank you for your kindness. We still have one room available. Let the housemaster show you the way. Wa-taah! Woo-waah!
I am the Black Tiger descended from heaven. Tell me your name. Black Tiger. What brings you here? I’m here to take your life. Nonsense! Don’t talk, just fight. Fight! Sorry, both of you. The academy is not peaceful lately. Not only have people been killed by Yan Luo, but many people
Have also contracted colds. This way, please. Oh, by the way, which room are you staying in? Xinghui Pavilion. That is the Ten Halls of Yan Luo. Bad things happen to whoever gets near there. The academy is a place for studying. Why would there be the Ten Halls of Yan Luo?
That was left behind by a Taoist temple in the former dynasty. Rumor has it that it is spooky in there. Lord Zi Luo never lets us go there. You two will be staying here. But please don’t wander around. Who lives upstairs? Don’t go up there. Wan Jin.
He died up there a few days ago. Yan Luo. Yan Luo is here again. Yan Luo is here again. Who is there? The blood stains are still fresh. He must have died recently. Lord Zi Luo. You’ve arrived just in time. Qi Liang. We just came up and found this scholar dead here.
It seems like he was burned. This has nothing to do with you. Don’t meddle in the affairs of the academy. One after another, people are killed in the academy. Lord Zi Luo. Don’t you want to investigate it thoroughly? Yan Luo’s Death Sentence. We can’t do anything about it. Come on.
You can’t even lift this. You useless fool. Hurry up. The academy is not The Court of Judicial Review. Since you live here, you have to follow the rules here. The affairs of the academy seem to be complicated. Do we still have to stay here? Don’t you want to see
What the real Yan Luo looks like? Then I have to sleep inside. Yan Luo. Yan Luo is here again. And he delivered a powerful kick. The ball happened to hit the mouth of a Yan Luo statue. Zhan Zhao. Master. Qing. Bao Zheng. You must uphold your sense of righteousness.
You only focus on righteousness but ignore your relationships. Hey, wait. Master. What are you doing here? I haven’t seen you in six years, and you’re still so tanned. How’d you end up here? If it weren’t for me yesterday, you’d be dead. You saved me last night? Have some porridge first.
It’ll get cold soon. Excuse me. Excuse me. You come back here. Come back. You feed him. You scalded me. When Miss Ouyang fed you, the heat didn’t bother you. Try it yourself. Brother Bao. Father suddenly sent this letter and disappeared without a trace. I am worried. So I came to find him. Qing.
You got it too. Are these two letters related to the academy’s affairs? It’s still unclear at the moment. Someone died! What’s happening outside? Make way. Move aside. These two brothers are so close. How did they end up fighting each other? Yan Luo. Yan Luo has come to claim lives again.
Everyone. Get out of here! Disperse. Make way. No signs of fighting. One was throat slit, and the other’s heart was removed. All are aimed directly at vital points. Take them to the mortuary first. Alright. Faster. Hurry up. [Clinic] My father, Ouyang De, mentioned many times in his letter
That you’re a highly skilled doctor. He even suggested that I learn the Qihuang techniques from you. Today, I have the honor of meeting you. And I hope you can teach me. Are you Ouyang De’s daughter? Yes. My father left the academy a month ago. Do you know where he is?
When Principal Ouyang left, he didn’t inform us of his whereabouts. So, I have nothing to tell you. Doctor. I saw the bodies of the twin scholars earlier. Their deaths are suspicious. Can we see the bodies? But, the academy’s regulations stated that no one can enter the mortuary
Without the approval of Lord Zi Luo. Hurry up! Please take a seat. There’s a highly contagious wind pathogen outbreak. I advise all of you to leave promptly. This chicken drumstick is delicious. Aren’t you afraid? As long as there’s food, I’m not scared. What about you? Are you frightened?
Come on. Let me feed you. I’m not afraid. Watch out. Yan Luo might take you away as a starving ghost. You’d be his first choice. Pardon me. Yan Luo. He’ll capture you first. Pardon me. Yan Luo. How do you fall asleep? So late at night. You’re even more cowardly than me.
His curled and burnt hair with multiple burn marks on his body suggested a fatal burning. However, there are no traces of fire in the Xinghui Pavilion. If he were burned to death, the victim would have felt suffocated, gasping for breath desperately, with soot in his mouth and nose.
Could it be the work of Yan Luo? Or perhaps he was burned after death? Look at this. Let’s check the other bodies. Alright. Brother Bao. This body has the same mark. This one too. Do these marks imply something? Yan Luo. Why did you hit me? Useless. Let’s go. No signs of poisoning.
Qi Liang should have died yesterday evening, and the twin scholars should have perished late at night. There was no fire in the academy yesterday. How could Qi Liang have been burned to death? The twin brothers always got along. How could they possibly kill each other? No offense. Did it fall down there?
It doesn’t seem so. No, it didn’t. It’s pitch black. Why did you kick me? Who kicked you? I just ate your chicken thigh. Who kicked me, then? What are you talking about? Are you trying to get back at me? Are you trying to fight me? So what if I am?
Come on. Let’s talk outside. Let’s go. Lord Zi Luo. What should we write in the report this time? Fill out the autopsy report as suicide. Don’t let it interfere with the palace examination. Dumb Zi Luo. She concluded the case in a rush for the palace examination. [Five days before the palace examination]
There are only five days left until the palace examination. Why are the victims all successful candidates? A few candidates won’t affect the overall situation. As long as you ensure there are no mistakes in the hall, I have arrangements for what comes next. What about Bao Zheng and the others?
I will make them leave quickly. Minister Qian. How is the arrangement for the palace examination going? Report to the Empress Dowager. The palace examination… What about it? Do you want to preside over it? I dare not. The Empress Dowager will preside over the palace examination. It is the people’s expectation.
Report to the Empress Dowager. According to ancestral rules, the palace examination should be presided over by the Emperor. But the Emperor has not yet been crowned. I believe it should be presided over by the Prime Minister, who is currently acting as regent. The Empress Dowager is entrusted by the late Emperor
To assist in governance. It should be presided over by the Empress Dowager. It should be presided over by the Prime Minister. It should be presided over by the Empress Dowager. It should be presided over by the Prime Minister. Honorable ministers. The imperial examination has always been of great importance in our dynasty.
It provides opportunities for talents to come forward and for us to select capable and virtuous individuals. Since we are all doing it for the prosperity of our Song dynasty, this palace examination will be jointly presided over by the Prime Minister and I. Empress Dowager is wise. His pulse is slow and intermittent.
His vital energy is declining. His spiritual mechanism is in chaos. Doctor. Can he recover? Recover? The fact that he escaped Yan Luo’s Death Sentence is considered his luck. Do you also believe in Yan Luo’s Death Sentence, Doctor? In this vast world, there are countless strange and extraordinary phenomena.
It is rumored that in the underworld, there are Ten Halls of Yan Luo. Those with moral deficiencies will undoubtedly receive punishment accordingly. The first hall is the Upside Down Hanging Prison. The second hall is the Eye-Gouging Prison. The third hall is the Fire Bed Prison. The fourth hall is the Suffocation Prison.
And the fifth hall is the Burning Prison. The twin scholar students met their deaths in the sixth and seventh hall, the Heart-Digging Prison and the Throat-Cutting Prison. So are you suggesting that they committed evil deeds and thus received punishment? The heavenly principles bear the burden. Evil meets with retribution, good meets with rewards.
What punishments await in the remaining three courts? The eighth hall is the Insect Prison. The ninth hall is the Tongue-Pulling Prison. The tenth hall is the Wheel-Turning Prison. In other words, more people will face retribution soon. Save me! The eighth hall, is the Insect Prison.
Judging from the state of the mad scholar’s death, it is clear that he died from poisoning. Who could’ve administered the poison? The killer was able to kill so many scholars in such a short time. It indicates his deep understanding of the academy. Perhaps Yan Luo’s Death Sentence serves another purpose.
If that’s the case, there may be more deaths to come. Principal Ouyang has also disappeared. I hope he’s not… Prefect Bao. I found this in Principal Ouyang’s study after he left. Roaming the four seas with clouds as my guide, Casting shadows upon three mountains. For 28 years, I’ve taught with pride,
Seeking Xuanyuan in realms where mysteries reside. Could Mr. Ouyang be off on a mountain excursion? The palace examination is approaching, so I don’t think Master would have any intention to travel. My father has always been meticulous in his studies, and he is strict with all of you on a daily basis.
I must admit, Principal Ouyang has been particularly strict with me and Sun Heyao. He had high expectations for us. But in the provincial examination, we both let him down. Sun Heyao? Just like me, he is a poor scholar. He hurriedly went home a month ago. But a month ago,
The examination results had not been announced yet. I was also surprised. He has always pursued fame and success, so why did he leave without a word? Were you acquainted with the slain scholars? They [Qi Liang’s Workbook] were all wealthy students who relied on their status [Unknowledgeable. Nonsense.] to bully others in the academy.
They lacked talent and knowledge. [Wan Jin’s Workbook] Principal Ouyang was also helpless against them. [Die, Principal Ouyang] [Sun Heyao’s Workbook] [Coherent work. Very talented.] Yesterday, that mad scholar clearly died from poisoning. When you examined his pulse, didn’t you notice anything? What are you hiding? The victims were all successful candidates.
These students in the academy were like brothers. They formed cliques, indulged in extravagant lifestyles relying on their wealthy families. Yan Luo’s Death Sentence happened after Master’s disappearance. The slain students often clashed with Master. These two students don’t like to socialize with others. But he spreads rumors everywhere with his twin brother.
In that case, the next victim is likely to be him. Li Dazui. He’s not in the dormitory right now. He said he went to the clinic. What about Miss Ouyang? Let’s go to the clinic first. The Ninth hall, Tongue-Pulling Prison. Zhan Zhao. Brother Bao. Are you alright? This is Miss Ouyang’s flute.
Where is Ouyang Qing? Lord Zi Luo. When we arrived, we didn’t see Miss Ouyang. All of us want to know where she went. Ouyang Qing killed someone and fled in fear. Convey my orders and immediately arrest her. You misunderstood, Lord. Miss Ouyang has no grudges with the doctor.
The real culprit must be someone else. I hope you can investigate this thoroughly. Bao Zheng. You better not protect the murderer. Otherwise, you will be treated as accomplices. Leave this place immediately. You are not allowed to step into the academy again. Keep a close eye on them. Without my orders,
No one is allowed to enter. Yes. Brother Bao. What is this? Brother Bao. Unpaid debts of kindness, the act of taking one’s own life, will be punished severely, and never be reborn. Forty-nine days after death, those who have deficiencies in moral conduct will be sent to the Ten Halls of Hell
To be pardoned and liberated. According to the Bronze Mirror, suicide is a serious crime in life. After death, one will suffer extreme punishment and cannot be reborn. The method of liberation is to send ten individuals with moral deficiencies to the Ten Halls of Yan Luo
To endure punishment on behalf of the suicide victim. So the students were sentenced to death in order to complete the liberation ritual. Why does it feel so cold? What are you doing? Didn’t you say if there was something delicious, you wouldn’t be afraid anymore? Here you go. Brother Bao. That’s strange.
Where did the bodies go? Brother Bao? Are you alright, Brother Bao? Brother Zhan. I was originally fine. Alright, enough tricks. What’s the matter? Do you also want to experience Ten Halls of Yan Luo’s cruel tortures? Yan Luo’s Death Sentence is just your cruel means of guiding Sun Heyao toward salvation
By brutally killing the scholars. Am I right, Dr. Sun? In front of the nameless tablet in the clinic, there are offerings placed for the deceased on the 47th day. This indicates that the deceased passed away about a month ago. It was during this exact period
That coincided with the time of the scholar Sun Heyao’s passing. We found his passport inside the clinic. The carving on the box matches the kapok flower placed in front of the memorial tablet. Sun Heyao is your son, I presume? I guess he committed suicide
And that’s why you would employ such an absurd method of salvation. Under the pretext of diagnosing the scholars for colds, you poisoned them with the mechanism in the pulse pillow, and then killed them once the drugs took effect. The marks on the scholar’s hands were meant to conceal the needle marks
And creating a false impression of Yan Luo’s Death Sentence. You pre-released the kite and carried the unconscious Qi Liang to Xinghui Pavilion at night. You wrapped him with the kite string. Exploiting the stormy weather and the drenched kite string, you guided the lightning to strike and kill Qi Liang.
The scattered burn marks on his body and traces on his wrists are evidence. As for the deranged scholar, you intentionally removed the silver needle that suppressed the toxin upon our arrival at the clinic. This action resulted in the spread of the poison and ultimately led to his demise before our very eyes.
However, you hadn’t had the chance to imprint Yan Luo’s mark on his arm. Miss Ouyang is skilled in medicine. When she discovered that scholar died from poisoning, she approached you to inquire about the truth. You exploited the opportunity and rendered her unconscious before bringing her here. If I’m not mistaken,
The Dr. Sun who died in the clinic should be Li Dazui. You changed his face but overlooked his hands. I’ll burn her alive if you take one more step forward. The people I killed are all sinners. They all deserved to die. What sin does Miss Ouyang commit?
I was just one step away from completing my plan. I never intended to kill her. But you all just have to get in my way. What you’re doing won’t help Sun Heyao. Stop this, and avoid committing further sins. My son was replaced by someone else and died unjustly. What crime did he commit?
Where did he go wrong? I know other factors contributed to Sun Heyao’s failure in the examination. I’ll help him and give him justice. Justice? It’s precisely because I placed too much trust in the justice that I ended up in such a predicament. Father. I’ll achieve academic success, bring honor to our ancestors,
And ensure a better life for you. Tell others that you’re Master Sun’s son. This way, your classmates won’t bully you. I wish you success in the provincial high school exam. Congrats. Not bad for being the second place. Brother Wan. Did you take the place of that poor wretch, Sun Heyao?
And remember that class monitor? He’s still daydreaming about passing the exam. Stop right there. What did you guys just say? Screw you. Loser. Let’s go. My child, let’s just forget about it. I have no power and influence. No one will help us. We, alas, can only resign ourselves to our fate. Yao? Yao?
Yao! Yao! Never in a million years did I expect Ouyang De to collude with them. My poor child died unjustly because of them. My father would never do such a thing. I wouldn’t believe it either if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes!
Drink this 100-Demons Soup and go explain it to Yan Luo. Let’s go. Are you okay, Qing? I’m okay. My poor child! I failed you! I can’t vindicate you in the mortal world! I can only hope to spare you from the torment of hell! There must be a misunderstanding.
My Master is not that kind of person. So it was you. What audacity you have! How dare you commit murder right under my nose! My son suffered relentless humiliation at the academy, where he was unjustly replaced and tragically died with grievances. Where were you? You all are murderers!
I want all of you to accompany my son to the underworld! All of you! You all must die and accompany my son in death! My child! I’m coming for you! We have to go. Go. Regarding the top-ranked candidate being replaced, the academy will investigate thoroughly. The disappearance of Principal Ouyang De
Is undoubtedly connected to this matter. Nonsense. My father would never commit such a rebellious act. Qing. Cheating in the imperial examination is a grave offense of deceiving the Emperor. You are the daughter of a suspect. Arrest her! Yes. Brother Bao, you go first. Let’s go. The palace examination is tomorrow.
Strengthen the patrols and ensure no more mistakes occur. Understood. You’ve been sitting here all day. Here, have some. When I was a child, Father would always play the bamboo flute to lull me to sleep. He taught me the virtues of bamboo as a person. He always wore that plain garment.
I always thought he liked that garment. Later, I learned that he gave away new clothes to those impoverished students. He cared about his students the most. Master has always been an upright and honest person. I believe he would never commit acts of favoritism or injustice.
Why didn’t I stop him when he went to Yingtian Academy? Where exactly is he now? If you hadn’t gone to the capital six years ago, and if Father hadn’t come to the academy, perhaps we could still be like we were in our childhood. Give me. Hurry and give it to me.
Wait for me. The fourth star of the Big Dipper is Wenqu that governs one’s literary fortune. Bao Zheng. With your intelligence and talent, you’ll surely achieve academic success in the future. But never forget to uphold justice for the people of the world. Got it.
Do these chess pieces resemble the stars in the sky? Qing. Do you still remember Master’s poem? Roaming the four seas with clouds as my guide, Casting shadows upon three mountains. For 28 years, I’ve taught with pride, Seeking Xuanyuan in realms where mysteries reside. On the surface, it’s a poem of distant travels.
Yet within, four seas, three mountains, and twenty-eight years align with celestial’s Four Symbols, Three Enclosures, Twenty-Eight Mansions. Seeking Xuanyuan in realms. Is it referring to the Xuanyuan Star in the Southern Vermilion Bird constellation’s fourth mansion? The constellation corresponds to the black chessboard pieces. By finding the black pieces,
The mystery of this poem will be revealed. Xuanyuan Star. The direction of the finger is northeast. And the northeast of the academy coincides with Ten Halls of Yan Luo. No wonder they never allow anyone to approach the Ten Halls of Yan Luo.
Does that mean if we go to the Ten Halls of Yan Luo, we can discover my father’s whereabouts? Perhaps, Master has discovered the truth behind the replacement of the top-ranked candidate. This matter is far from simple. There must be a larger conspiracy hidden behind it. Then what do the white pieces represent?
We’ll find out once we go there. Qing. We’ll find him. Dr. Sun’s sedative is indeed effective. Brother Bao. Let’s go. The white pieces form a star in the Vermilion Bird’s constellation located in the south. This way. Okay. Oh no. Brother Bao, what’s going on? No doubt that the 100 Demons
Are arranged according to the 28 Constellations. The seven stars resemble hooks, emerging below the willow. Above the stars are 17 Xuanyuan shapes. The eastern part of Xuanyuan is level on all sides. Below, there are three Tianxiang. Jixing is located below Tianxiang, horizontally across the Five Spirits. [Palace examination]
[Second year of Tian Xi] [Palace examination] [Wan Jin, Fail] [Sun Heyao, Pass] [The handbook of changes between previous candidates] Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao! Wake up! Cover your ears. Let’s go. Purple Forbidden enclosure? Empress Dowager. It is rumored that Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty wanted to seize power and become emperor.
So, he set up the Purple Forbidden enclosure, thinking that he could harness the power of astrology to manipulate the stars’ alignments and change the course of fate. Now, the Emperor is weak and vulnerable. The Empress Dowager has taken control of the court. Could it be that
The Empress Dowager intends to seize the throne? That’s why she uses exam-cheating method to eliminate dissidents and consolidate her power. Bao Zheng. You managed to decipher the mechanism. The person, who came in last time, has already become a fourth-ranked official. You are exceptionally intelligent; you should understand what I’m trying to say.
As long as you keep the matters here confidential, I’ll definitely ensure your rise to the top. Thank you for your recognition, Minister Qian. However, I’m afraid I might not be up for it. You there, you have been following this low-ranking official all this time. Don’t you feel frustrated? This is the best opportunity.
Think about it carefully. Everyone has their own aspirations; I like following him. You don’t know what what’s good for you! Bao Zheng! If you submit now, I guarantee you a place within this Formation! The higher you climb, the colder it gets. Keep the high position for yourself.
[The handbook of changes between previous candidates] Master Li! Master Zhang! Father. Father. Father! Father! Master! Father. Father! Wake up, Father! Father. Don’t scare me, Father. Master! Father! Brother Bao! There’s no way out! Wake up. Father. Father! Qing. Qing! It’ll be too late if we don’t leave now! Zhan Zhao! Take Miss Ouyang away.
Hurry up! Let’s go! Father! Go now! Father. Qing. Brother Bao. I never expected that our years of persistence would turn out to be so laughable! Is this idea of justice so easily undermined when faced with power? We have always been other people’s pawns. I’m their pawn, so are those poor scholars.
And Master as well. The right and wrong, the good and evil, and the justice, have never been defined by them. That’s what you told me before! What is your so-called fairness and justice? Cultivate a pure heart as the foundation. Pursue the righteous path. Work diligently to become pillars of society.
Do not yield to temptation. Master. I won’t let you down. Brother Bao. What do we do now? We find a way to enter the city. Sir. The fire has been extinguished. The bodies of Bao Zheng and the others could not be found. Issue my order. Search the entire city for Bao Zheng,
Zhan Zhao, and Ouyang Qing. Yes! Since all the evidence has been destroyed, they can’t ruin our big plan anymore. There’s no need to mobilize so many troops. Minister Qian. You don’t need to worry about the search. You only need to ensure that the palace examination takes place as planned tomorrow. Yes.
Hurry, let’s go! Quick, come over here and take a look! Hurry! No one here! No one here either! Not here! No one here! You guys, go search over there! Yes! Look carefully! Quick! Search more carefully! Send someone over there! Check that area too! Yes! Master’s seal. How did it end up with you?
It’s a long story. Mr. Ouyang’s lifelong wish was to expose corruption. But Zi Luo was closely monitoring the academy. He tried every means to send the letter to you. When Sun Heyao discovered he was replaced, he complained to Mr. Ouyang. But they found out about it.
Mr. Ouyang refused to participate in their schemes and was taken away. So, in the secret chamber, you repeatedly tried to persuade us. Actually, you were testing us. You have a similar temperament to Mr. Ouyang. I was coerced and did some unethical things. I didn’t have the courage to stand up. Bao Zheng.
The road ahead is extremely dangerous. But I will assist you. Take this. Quick! Quick, check over here! Zi Luo’s soldiers must have caught up with us! Take the housemaster and leave first. What about you, sir? Let’s meet at the bamboo grove in the west village half an hour later.
We’ll discuss our next move then. Hurry and leave! There’s no time to waste. We shall make a move first. Let’s go! Hurry! Go! Chase them! [On the day of the palace examination] [Namelist, Wan Jin] Sir. Please look at this. Bao Zheng has disguised himself as Wan Jin and entered the palace.
Hurry and stop him! Yes. [Silence] Capture that man! Yes, sir. [Silence] Take him away. Come with us. Let go of me! The Empress Dowager has arrived. What’s going on? Your Royal Highness. We’ve caught an imposter among the candidates. Guards! Take him away! Your Royal Highness.
I am Bao Zheng, a case reviewer from the Court of Judicial Review. I risked my life to come and expose the cheating in the examination system. Please accept my report! Your Royal Highness. The Ministry of Rites has been colluding with Yingtian Academy to plan this cheating and persecute officials. Bao Zheng.
Cheating in the examination is serious. If you speak without solid proof, you’ll be making a baseless accusation. I will not easily forgive that. Your Royal Highness. There are dozens of scholars involved in the cheating. The Ministry of Rites… This is absurd! We have very strict examination rules in Song.
Exam papers are transcribed and then marked anonymously. The markers couldn’t possibly identify the candidates’ information. Are you suggesting I collude with the civil and military officials in corruption and cheating? Ask them whether they dare? Minister Qian utilizes the fact that the markers only recognize the content but not the individuals,
And switched the papers of the top scorers before the results of provincial examination are announced. My mentor discovered the switched examination papers were hidden in Yingtian Academy’s secret chamber, and was killed by Minister Qian. Nonsense! Bao Zheng. What proof do you have? Minister Qian, you destroyed proof of cheating in the provincial examination.
But the proof of cheating in the palace examination is right here in this examination hall. Your Royal Highness. Bao Zheng is disrespecting the system, and slandering officials. He’s tricking everyone! Bao Zheng, how do you explain yourself? [Yuan Shaotian] [The handbook of changes between previous candidates] Where is Yuan Shaotian? [Yuan Shaotian]
Please forgive me! Your Royal Highness and the Prime Minister preside over this examination. Knowing he couldn’t swap the candidates, Minister Qian hid the answers within the exam papers, thus deceiving everyone. Your Royal Highness. Investigate this matter thoroughly! Qian Zhong. How dare you! Your Royal Highness, please spare my life!
Minister Ding, please spare my life! Minister Qian’s crimes are unforgivable. But with his own efforts alone, how could he orchestrate such a large-scale cheating? Qian Zhong. You’d better confess who the mastermind is. I… I dare not say. The Painting of Empress Wu Reigning? Present it to me. Your Royal Highness.
Do you mean to use the cheating in the imperial examination to eliminate dissenters and follow in the footsteps of Empress Wu to claim the throne? How audacious! I would never do such a thing that would dishonor the ancestors of Song! Your Royal Highness. How do you explain this? Minister Ding.
You also believe this belongs to me? Your gold seal is on the painting. Bao Zheng. What else have you discovered? Tell the truth. I saw someone imitating the court’s layout, creating wax figures of missing officials, and setting up the Purple Forbidden enclosure. And the person in the dragon robe within the enclosure
Is none other than you, Minister Ding. You’re spouting nonsense! What Purple Forbidden enclosure? Bao Zheng. Did you really see it? I was initially misled by Her Royal Highness’ position within the enclosure, overlooking the direction of the Symbolic North Star. The man who set up this enclosure is extremely absurd.
Believing that by aligning the Symbolic North Star with himself, he could utilize mystical arts such as astrology to rule the court. And the direction of it points directly to Prime Minister Ding Wei. What an interesting story. Nicely fabricated. Bao Zheng. You’re slandering me, a respected minister of the court,
And are in league with the Empress Dowager. Capture them! Hold on! Sir. Leave the rest to me. Bao. Minister Qian. This is Wan Jin’s passport. Take it, and attend the palace examination tomorrow. The real Minister Qian is here. Your Royal Highness, my regards. I’m ashamed before the ancestors of Song,
Ashamed before the Emperor and Empress Dowager, and ashamed before the people of Song. I was blackmailed by Minister Ding, causing disgrace to the imperial examination and the laws of Song. I should be punished! Ding Wei. How dare you organize the cheating and plot for power! The audacity! Guards! Seize Ding Wei.
Protect the Empress Dowager! Protect Her Royal Highness! Brother Bao. Thoroughly investigate Ding Wei and his followers. Everyone involved in the cheating scandal will be punished according to the law. Bao Zheng. Yes. You’ve achieved great merit this time. You shall be rewarded accordingly. Examinations are the only way for many underprivileged students
To pursue an official career. I only wish for the examinations to be fair and just, so talents can be selected for the prosperity of Song. Allocate 10 hectares of land for educational purposes, fund the operations of Yingtian Academy, expand the enrollment scale, and care for underprivileged students. Bestow the Tiger Head Guillotine
Upon Bao Zheng as a gift, and promote him to the prefect of Duanzhou. May Bao continue to fear no power and uphold justice. Zhan exhibits exceptional martial skills and bravely protected the sovereign. Bestow upon him the title «Imperial Cat». For Ouyang De’s sacrifice to the nation,
He is to be posthumously appointed as a scholar of the Dragon Pavilion. [Three days later] Prefect Bao! Prefect Bao! Prefect Bao. [Four-Arch Gate] Miss Ouyang left this for you. Six years ago, you drove me away to Luzhou in your pursuit of justice. I know you were concerned for my safety.
Since justice has been served, I don’t want to be a burden to you anymore. Brother Bao. People need a good official like you. Come with us to Duanzhou! Mrs. Bao.
