"In 1876, the royal treasury in Beijing was robbed and 2 million taels of gold were stolen" "Empress Dowager is in flaming anger" "Empress Dowager arrives..." "Long live Your Highness" "Remove the cover" "Your Highness, did you see that?" "Today's dishes have been specially prepared by the royal kitchen according to your wishes" "There's chicken, duck and lamb" "These are fried lobsters" "Your Highness, why are you still worrying about the state's affairs even at meal?" "They should be dealt with by ministers" "There's no need for you to worry about" "Did you know about the Royal Treasury losing two million taels of gold?" "Your Highness, it's not my responsibility..." "Then tell me, whose fault is it?" "I deserve a million deaths" "I've no appetite" "You can have all the food" "I deserve death..." "Mr. Liu, Forbidden City's Chief of Security arrives" "Greetings to Your Highness" "Long live Your Highness" "Arise" "Thank you Your Highness" "Mr Liu, what have you been doing?" "The Royal Treasury has been pried open" "Would my royal dinning hall be pulled down too one day?" "Your Highness, our investigations show that the commander guarding the treasury conspired with some bandits which enabled them to get into the treasury so easily" "The commander was silenced and killed after that" "Mr. Liu, losing gold is one thing;" "More importantly the country is losing face" "How dare a couple of burglars turn the palace upside down" "If those westerners come to know of this, our Qing Empire..." "I'm trying my best to capture the robbers" "Alright, I'll give you ten days for that" "It'll sure be enough" "Your Highness, ten days..." "Mr Liu, Her Highness is already generous enough to give you ten days" "Your Highness" "If you insist on accomplishing the task in ten days only one person can do that" "Who?" "The head constable, Leng Tian Ying" "Sir, I beg you, spare us" "Damn you, how dare you block my way" "If you don't retreat, I'll kill his whole family" "What are we going to do?" "Wait for my brother here and let him take the decision" "That's right..." "Brother" "Mr Leng" "How's it going?" "Three robbers robbed a bank and are hiding inside" "Why not attack with fire?" "All the occupants in there are being held hostage" "Can't smoke them out" "Knife" "Horse" "Brother, he's not armed and is wounded seriously" "Should have let him live" "Kill them all" "Do we still have to bring these burglars to court?" "Brother, you're overdoing it" "Shut up" "Lord Leng, Chief of Security summons you" "Please set off for the capital immediately" "Leng Tian Ying, head constable from the capital is here" "Greetings from Leng Tian Ying" "The treasury in the capital was robbed of 2 million taels of gold a day ago" "The five robbers are said to be on the loose" "Capture them within 10 days, dead or alive" "Yes" "Cun Yi, round up all the constables in the training ground" "Brother, what's the mission?" "According to information the 5 robbers have escaped from the capital" "I want to select a few of our best men to pursue them" "You take over in my absence" "No" "Why?" "ls it because I am not taking you along?" "You want the truth?" "We're brothers, speak plainly" "I wouldn't want to come" "Why?" "Following you for 7 years" "I have seen how you never take live prisoners" "You have spilled much blood" "You really like being called Killer Constable?" "You aren't a constable, you're a murderer actually" "That's our duty" "But it doesn't include merciless killing" "You have spilled much blood and I want no part of it" "If you want to kill, do it on your own" "Cun Yi" "Remember, as constables we are faced with fierce robbers" "It's them or us" ""Capital Station"" "Squad 3, Attention" "Follow the marker" "I'm the marker" "Fall in" "Salute" "Yes" "Squad 3 in the capital station are all ready" "At ease" "Yes" "At ease" "Peng Lai, Zhao Jian, Sun Heng, stay" "The rest, dismiss" "Yes" "Peng Lai, Zhao Jian, Sun Heng, stay" "Yes" "The rest, dismiss" "Fall in" "At your service" "Chief of Security has ordered me to capture the robbers of the treasury" "You are among the best and will follow me on this mission tomorrow, dismiss" "Yes" "Lord Leng" "Yes?" "You haven't assigned me any duty" "I never intended to bring you along" "You think I am too old?" "You think I can't take the hardship?" "It's the same to assist my brother here" "Lord Leng, I can still fight" "I don't have a belly yet" "I have followed you many years and have groomed everyone here" "Then what do you want?" "Not much" "I am retiring" "Ask your wife to prepare some clothes for you so as not to catch cold on the way" "Yes" "Dong Hu, Zhang Liang, Su Wu etc." "They all had great sense of honor in past dynasties" "Wen Tian Xiang" "Lord Leng, the tea is ready" "Cui Hin, come over here" "Yes" "Lord Leng" "I heard you've just got engaged so you can't go on this mission" "This is just a small token of mine" ""One hundred taels"" "Thank you but I wouldn't take your gift" "Why?" "I have decided to follow you, capture the robbers and then get married" "It'll be a dangerous mission and your life will be at stake" "I don't want a groom-to-be to take the risk" "Go and get married" "I have been with you for over 10 years have I been afraid of death?" "Please accept my gift" "Yes" "Ma Zhong, why bring such pretty boots?" "My wife made them for me to prevent cold sores on the road" "How sweet of your wife!" "Has she also prepared a pee bottle for you?" "I am not like you, still wetting the bed n' all" "Damn you" "His wife really loves him" "Mercy..." "Mr Chui, mercy" "I'll tell you..." "you want to know who killed the whole family at Tung Tao Village?" "Again, mercy..." "Do you want to know about that case?" "Do you want to know who committed rape and murder at the Cui residence?" "Don't kill me" "Tell me who robbed the royal treasury?" "I can't tell you or I'll be dead" "Speak" "I can't..." "Speak" "I don't know..." "Tell me who robbed the royal treasury or I'll throw you down" "I really don't know" "Cui Hin, what are you dong here?" "Please pardon me" "If I knew who robbed the treasury would you take me together?" "Say what you said just now" "Alright..." "Madam Wang a neighbour told my wife that her husband has pieces of gold with the treasury's mark on them" "Who's her husband?" "Yue Wu Guai of the Tai Fat Mill House" "Get lost" "Let's go and capture Yue Wu Guai" "Lord Leng" "Are you really not taking a wife?" "Guess it won't be too late to wait till the bandits are apprehended" "Good" "Don't cry" "How can the matter of treasury be shared with others?" "I didn't know it'd be this serious" "I won't speak it again" "It seems there's someone outside" "You sure?" "Damn, it's the constables" "Let's escape through the back" "Don't move" "Mom" "Ah Niu, run quickly" "Run, don't cry" "Don't run" "Run, Ah Niu" "Stand still" "Run, Ah Niu, don't grab him" "Don't move" "Sir, I'm innocent" "I don't know anything, sir" "Who else if not you?" "I really don't know" "Ma Zhong" "Sir, please don't." "Ah Niu..." "Please have mercy on him" "Sir, have mercy on us" "Don't, Ah Niu" "Sir, mercy" "I'll speak" "Tao Bau, the blacksmith." "Zhang Long and Wang Wan Wu" "Fang Feng Jia is the leader" "Where's the gold?" "I beg you to do me a favor leave the gold for my wife" "I beg you" "Ah Niu..." "Sir, I beg you" "Have mercy on us" "Give us a chance" "I'll speak, it's inside the bucket" "Please don't take my gold" "Let go" "My gold, let me go" "How are you?" "Dear, wake up" "Lord Leng, watch out" "Chop off his head" "Yes" "You killed Ah Niu, you'll die a cruel death" "You are a beast, a monster" "I'll kill you" "You'll die a cruel death" "Peng Lai, let's go" " Peng Lai" "Yes" "Being kind to criminals means being cruel to yourself understand?" "Why are these people so frightened?" "They take us for robbers who're here to rob them again" "Poor souls" "Don't forget, they are Hans we are Manchurians we can't mess with politics" "Just do your job as a constable" "Check inside" "Yes" "Lord Leng" "It's a deserted ancestral hall" "Let's spend the night here" "Still bothered by the incident at the mill house?" "I just think everyone has the right to live even if they are criminals" "Do we have the right to kill them at our will?" "Besides, they are victims of circumstances and have been pushed into what they do" "You are too soft" "Hardly cut out to be a constable" "Then you're saying lord Leng is right to kill today?" "Not only today" "I have always admired his iron-like character in dealing with those bandits" "He never drags his feet" "If I were in his position one day" "I too would be a Killer Constable" "You all think he is cold and has no feelings, right?" "You're wrong, he is also human and has his humanity as well" "But because he is a committed constable, his emotions are like his sword;" "Hidden deep inside its sheath" "The bed is ready" "Go and rest" "Yes" "Peng Lai, what are you doing?" "Taking some leftovers for the starving people" "Take this to them" "Thank you" "Zhao Jian, where's Peng Lai?" "Have you seen him come back?" "No" "What is it?" "Haven't seen him return" "Let's find him, quick" "Right" "Go on" "Isn't this our bowl?" "He might have been here" "Find him, quick" "Peng Lai..." "Peng Lai..." "Iron thorns" "Lord Leng, what's the matter?" "What is it?" "There are two assassins" "Are you injured?" "No" "Peng Lai has been seriously wounded in the opposite village" "He's in there" "We can't move him." "If we do, he dies" "Peng Lai" "Just kill me" "I can't take it" "Please heed my words even criminals are human beings, don't kill improperly" "I beg you, let me die" "Please, don't let me suffer" "Let me die" "Come on, I can't take it" "Lord Leng" "Dam n, bastard" "It's your fault for pushing me to rob the treasury now I have been stabbed" "The Killer Constable never leaves a live prisoner" "We couldn't kill him last night means..." "It means we'll be hunted the rest of our lives" "You want to escape?" "Of course, no matter what we can't wait here and die" "I said you have no brains that's why you can't escape" "Where are you running to now?" "Right" "If we separate we'll give him an opportunity to kill us one by one" "What are we going to do?" "Find Fang Feng Jia and Wang Wan Wu" "Four against one" "Regardless of how good the Killer Constable may be he can't escape from us" "No wonder you used to be the leader of the troops" "You are indeed smart" "I'll go immediately to find them" "See you at the Da Long Bay fishing house after 3 days" "Zhang Long" "Zhang Long..." "No need to wait" "Killer Constable" "Zhang Long betrayed you, he won't come" "That bastard betrayed me" "No..." "Lord Leng" "Put it down as 300 taels of gold from Zhang Long" "Take his head" "Yes" "Lord Leng, we've searched his home" "There're only three hundred taels of gold" "Did you interrogate him?" "Yes, he's telling the truth" "His share is only three hundred taels of gold" "Killer Constable, I've sold out that blacksmith to you" "You should trust and let me go" "That's right, I've promised to grant you a pardon" "But I didn't say I'd spare your life" "Execute him" "Yes" "Killer Constable, you'd never have thought of this" "I knew that you wouldn't let me get off so easily" "You won't have expected me to be smarter than you are" "He's escaped" "Lord Leng, follow me" "Lord Leng, never mind about me, hurry and chase" "Hurry and go, Lord Leng" "Lord Leng, have those robbers been captured?" "They didn't escape, right?" "Lord Leng, Sun Heng died too" "Where?" "Over there" "Let's take a rest here" "Yes" "Coming..." "Sir, have a seat, where are you from?" "Stop talking rubbish" "It's chaotic out there and hard to do business" "Lord Leng, sit" "Get us some beef and wine" "Sir, the country is in chaos and hard to make a living" "There's no food at all, where do I find beef for you?" "Then what do you folks have?" "Some toasted bread" "Alright then, hurry" "Fan Jin Peng" "What a surprise that in such a barren place" "I can meet the Killer Constable" "How lucky!" "Fan Jin Peng, you're notorious in the Eastern Kwangtung" "What are you doing here?" "I've heard that The Royal Treasury has been robbed" "I'm here in the hope of somehow benefiting from it" "The treasury has been robbed and the court is furious" "It's not a trivial matter" "You'd better go back where you came from" "Head constable" "What's the big deal for the court to lose some gold?" "There's no harm sparing some for us common people" "It's not the kind of money that you can benefit from" "Leng Tian Ying, you too are a government official" "You should know that people like us never suffer loss in business" "Since I'm here how can I leave empty-handed?" "I won't let you go away empty-handed either" "I'll give you 50 taels of gold and then you leave" "Cui Hin" "Yes" "What are you going to do if I refuse your favour?" "Then don't even think of leaving here" "Leng Tian Ying, you hold great esteem in the capital and I'm famous in the South" "It'll be difficult to tell who will win if we fight" "If I were you, I'd take this fifty taels of gold without any hesitation" "Lord Leng, he's a great rascal" "Why don't you kill him?" "Till now, there's no proof of his crime" "Besides, he's a kung fu expert, I may not be his match" "I've met the person you want me to kill on my way just now" "Since you've met him why didn't you kill him for me?" "I haven't got my remuneration yet" "It's too early to kill him" "Alright, 300 taels of gold, they are all here" "The Royal Treasury has been robbed of two million taels" "Friend, is your share just this bit?" "Friend, it really is please take it" "This may be good enough only for ordinary people" "But as for killing Killer Constable this is a bit too little" "What...what do you want?" "These 300 taels aren't even enough to kill you" "But if I kill you this three hundred taels will become mine" "That's much easier than killing Killer Constable" "So why bother to fight with Killer Constable?" "You are a man of no integrity" "A man with integrity won't become a professional killer" "You should accept your fate" "Damn it" "It's scorpion poisonous dart" "That's right" "Once hit, you'll die of blood poisoning within fifty steps" "I'll fight you" "Friend, being rash is of no use" "It'll only accelerate you to death" "Wait" "Killer Constable, I don't care about the reward and killed the man you want" "Fifty taels of gold for killing a person is the cheapest reward I've asked for" "I just want to make friends with you" "We can easily be friends" "Please just open your bag" "If the gold bars have the Royal seal printed on them you'd better leave them behind and go" "Killer Constable, no need to be so furious" "The gold will be returned to you" "Ma Zhong, go and get back the gold" "Yes" "Lord Leng, secret weapon" "Ma Zhong" "Scorpion dart" "Give me the antidote" "Even if I give you the antidote you can't go down alive" "Where's the antidote?" "There's no need for us to fight, we are an equal match" "You can't kill me, and I can't harm you either" "I don't want the gold" "Let's be friends" "I can give you the antidote for your man" "Good swordsmanship" "Didn't expect that your sword can kill from far or near" "Fan Jin Peng, you didn't expect that" "I can escape the attack of your Needle" "You are the first one but still you'll die from poisoning" "Fan Jin Peng, you are too presumptuous" "Throatlock Needle never misses why coat it with poison?" "But this time you've missed" "Had there been antidote in the bottle" "I wouldn't have given you" "Your man will surely die" "Lord Leng, where's the antidote?" "There's none" "Lord Leng, thank you for bringing me together" "Cui Hin, help me up" "Lord Leng, Constable Ma Zhong from the capital station is awaiting your order" "Arise, lie down and have some rest" "Ma Zhong" "Ma Zhong..." "Lord Leng, your wound is getting better" "Ma Zhong wished to thank you for lending the coat to him that night" "He was reluctant to put on these boots" "He said he wanted to leave them for you" "Lord Leng, have some tea" "Lord Leng, we should go back first" "What are you saying?" "Lord Leng, what I mean is that presently there's only you and me, and you are wounded" "We can maybe return to the capital until you recuperate" "Shut up" "Yes" "Don't forget, we are constables" "I'm only slightly wounded, there's no big deal about it" "These are our duties even if it entails sacrificing our lives" "Lord Leng, but your wounds..." "Cui Hin" "Yes" "Giving up half way is not only against our conscience we'll fail Lord Liu who has entrusted us this mission" "Dad" "Xiao Ian" "Dad" "Dad" "Dad, I miss you so much" "Foolish child, am I not here now?" "Dad, I'll make you some tea" "Alright" "Dad, have some tea" "Alright" "Dad, where have you been?" "Why have you been away for so long this time?" "Xiao Ian, come here" "it's the same as before" "I'm just doing some trading" "Dad, it seems you're hiding something from me" "Every time you came back, you'd try to make me talk but this time you don't even want to talk" "Xiao Ian, you are right" "I do have something in my mind" "Dad, what is it?" "Nothing of great importance" "It's just that something went wrong in a transaction" "I still have to go back to settle it" "This time I'm just on my way to see you" "Dad, you have to go again?" "Good girl, this will be my last time" "I won't go away again, I'll stay with you forever" "Can you not go this once, dad?" "Don't cry" "Don't go, dad, stay with me" "Dad..." "Dad...don't go, dad..." "Don't leave me behind" "Take care on your way" "Leng Tian Ying, it's your doomsday" "Why do you have to come again?" "I don't like you killing people nor like to see you die" "Dad" "Dad" "Dad" "Who are you?" "Miss, I'm a trader" "You are wounded" "I've met some robbers and was wounded by them" "How pitiful!" "Sorry, I'm blind" "Come, I'll help you in for a rest" "Feeling better" "Thank you, Miss" "How come you're riding my dad's horse?" "Your dad's horse?" "Yes, dad has tied a number of little bells on the horse so that I'll know every time he comes back" "Miss, you are so enthusiastic in helping others" "Your dad must be a good man" "My dad is extremely good to friends and likes helping out" "Did he lend you his horse?" "Your dad and I are good friends" "My dad loves me" "You lie down and have some rest" "My dad said he's on his way to finalise one last trade and would be back to stay with me" "He'll be back soon, just take a good rest" "Who is it?" "It's me" "Dad, you are back?" "Xiao Ian" "Dad, what happened to you?" "Nothing, go and make some tea for me" "Alright" "Dad, your old friend is here" "He's resting and is waiting for you" "Who is it?" "Dad" "Dad, have some tea" "Dad" "So you are here" "Dad, he's in bed" "Why didn't you greet him?" "Miss, we did already" "You' re already up" "Why didn't I hear you greet?" "Leng Tian Ying, how are you?" "Fang Feng Jia, long time no see" "You two have a seat" "I'll go and prepare some dishes" "Miss, no need" "What?" "You're leaving again?" "That's right, he has to travel a long way" "I must see him off" "Uncle Leng, you really must go" "That's right, the road is long" "If I don't go your dad will have to" "I appreciate your great kindness" "Xiao Ian" "Dad" "I'll be back soon after I see Uncle Leng off" "Dad" "Leng Tian Ying, thanks for not exposing me in front of my daughter" "Don't think I'll spare you because of your daughter" "Where did you hide the gold you've taken?" "Speak" "If you want to know where..." "Show your skill, defeat me" "Where's the gold?" "Speak" "Speak" "Brother" "Cun Yi" "I'm looking for you" "Head of the gang is hiding among the reeds, find him" "Yes" "Go and find him, hurry" "Cun Yi" "Cun Yi" "Brother, chase him, never mind about me" "Hurry, go" "Cun Yi" "Cun Yi" "Brother, capital station can do without me but can't do without you" "Cun Yi, you..." "Run, hurry and run, hurry" "Brother, run" "Run, Brother, run" "Retreat" "Archer, get ready" "Shoot" "Second group, get ready" "Shoot" "First group, get ready" "Shoot" "I knew that you'll follow traces of blood to find me" "The gold you want is here" "Take it" "One thousand taels" "How come it's so little?" "That's all I've got" "Where did you hide the rest?" "With Lord Liu, Chief of Security of the Forbidden City" "Bullshit, don't accuse other people" "How will a government official turn out to be a thief?" "Hurry, hand over the gold" "I've heard that you're very perspicacious but it turns out to be an undeserved reputation" "Can't even tell the truth from false" "Shut up, if you don't hand it over, I'll cut you up" "No problem, but it's sad that you can't tell the truth" "Surround the house" "Yes" "First group go to the back" "Yes" "Second group go to the left" "Yes" "Third group to the right" "Yes" "Your men can't rescue you even if they surround here" "Leng Tian Ying, you're wrong" "The men outside are not mine, they are Lord Liu's" "They are archers sent by Lord Liu" "How'd Lord Liu send archers to kill government official" "Because he's the mastermind behind the Treasury robbery" "You' re talking nonsense" "The Royal Treasury has been heavily guarded" "Without anyone from inside, no one can get in" "This is the map to the Treasury given to me in person by Lord Liu" "He embezzled 2 million taels of gold and couldn't repay so he planned a fake heist" "The real amount that was robbed was the two thousand taels we got" "He took the rest" "Capitalising on your practice of killing prisoners he wanted us dead" "And also sent archers to kill me" "Damn, I'll fight them to the death" "Leng Tian Ying, that's exactly what he wants" "But then, your followers would die for nothing" "I have a plan that could get you out of here" "I have been seriously injured and would not be able to survive" "Those outside think you are the only one here but you must promise me one thing" "What is it?" "Speak" "You must promise to take care of my daughter" "This is where I usually hide from constables" "There is an air vent" "Go in, quickly" "Hide, quick" "Please remember to take care of my daughter" "I'd like to know what made you become a robber?" "You Manchurians forced me" "Go in quickly" "Xiao Ian, dad won't be returning to see you" "The corpse is here" "Chop off his head" "Yes" "Let's go" "Cun Yi" "Cun Yi" "Kill..." "Well done..." "Ba Jia" "Yes" "Take them to lord Wang and reward each with a hundred taels" "Yes" "Thank you" "Go on" "Yes" "Ba Jia" "Yes" "Feed their carcasses to my dogs" "Yes" "My greetings, your highness" "Long live" "What's the progress about the Royal Treasury robbery?" "All the robbers have been exterminated" "Unfortunately, Leng Tian Ying the head constable along with his five men have been killed on duty" "Pass the order that they be praised" "Yes" "Make way..." "Go away" "Make way..." "It's none of your concern, leave while you can" "Come, men" "Assassin..." "There's an assassin!" "Guards, quick"
