"Mother" "Hurry..." "Sir, please don't take my child away" "Let me go..." "Sir, I beg you" "I'll return your daughter after you clear the debts" "Sir, once I reap my harvest I'll repay you" "What else do you have?" "In any event you'll sell to Mr. Li" "No, even if I have to sell my lands I'll repay you don't take my daughter away" "I beg you, sir" "My child..." "Madam, grieve no more we could take this to the court" "It's no use they are all in it together" "With every passing day the world is more unreasonable" "Yes" "First the high interest then grabbing their child as collateral" "Would you believe tonight her daughter will be sold to" "Wei Hong Yuan and defiled" "Don't be afraid..." "I will teach you interesting things" "Come" "Who are you?" "The Swift Knight" "What do you want?" "I've come here for three things" "Firstly, to take this girl away" "Alright, I'll let go..." "Secondly, to burn all the IOU's you hold" "How could you do this?" "You..." "Thirdly, to get 500 taels of silver to pay for the medical expenses and livelihood of her family" "I don't have so much silver" "You..." "I don't believe you only have this much" "I only have this amount" "I just gave 1000 taels to the magistrate yesterday" "Alright, I'll not search your home today" "I'll go to the magistrate's place some other day then" "Thief" "Do you know the way?" "Yes" "Go home then" "But hero, you..." "I know how to handle this" "Chase..." "Hurry..." "I am the Swift Knight, I can leave without a trace" "What's up?" "Go and look" "Oh no, there is a bandit around here" "This place is not safe" "It's no big deal the thief won't bother us poor citizens" "The Swift Knight robbed the oppressive Li" "He has good judgment" "I also heard he wrote a letter to the magistrate asking to prepare for him a thousand taels of silver" "The Swift Knight" "Stand in line, one by one" "Stand in line..." "Checking" "Line up to enter the city" "Lead me to the magistrate, I have important business" "What?" "You want me to lead the way?" "No?" "Don't you know who he is?" "How did you become a constable?" "You dare insult me" "I tell you" "I have orders to check all passers by" "You'll never get through if I don't let you" "They look suspicious, search them" "Yes" "What impudence!" "Stand down" "Search" "I ask you, what makes you so arrogant?" ""Imperial envoy"" "So you two are..." "This is imperial envoy lord Jia" "I am sorry for being impolite please forgive me" "Pardon me..." "You didn't know who I was, now lead the way" "Yes, my lord, but I have some difficulty" "What would that be?" "My lord" "I have been ordered to capture the Swift Knight so I cannot leave my post" "I beg your understanding" "I'll lead the way" "What?" "Who are you?" "It's on my way so I'll take you there" "Who needs your help!" "Who is he?" "Damn, if you don't know, how would I?" "The Swift Knight?" "The Swift Knight won't kill without reason" "There's treachery here" "Be careful everyone" "Yes" "We let him escape last time we must be on heavy guard this time" "He can't escape even if he has wings" "If he dares come again he'll be trapped" "Your Excellency since I am in need of cash flow" "I need to borrow a thousand taels from you and will be taking it from you tonight" "I hope you'll do the needful" " The Swift Knight" "What insolence!" "Who is it?" "Thief" "How can you catch the Swift Knight like that?" "He is suspicious, come arrest him" "I dare you" "Arrest him" "Who dares fight with me, I'll kill him" "He's out-numbered, fear him not" "Sir" "They're all useless" "It's not worth to kill" "Let me get the Swift Knight for you" "You'll catch The Swift Knight?" "I am Jia Ling and I have just come from the capital" "Let the magistrate look at it" "Imperial envoy" "You're the Imperial envoy" "I am sorry if I crossed you please pardon me" "To check out your ability, I had to use force please pardon me too" "Sir, I'm embarrassed by your words my men are useless" "Let's talk inside" "Please" "Danger, get away" "Hey busybody, let's go" "Thank you" "Uncle, please be careful" "Where are you off to?" "I hear there's a restaurant nearby and wanted to go there" "You want to eat?" "I'll take you there" "Where's he gone?" "Qin Ruo..." "Lost again" "What?" "Giving up?" "I'll pledge this for five taels" "Let me see" "It's not worth five taels, at the most one tael" "Oh damn, alright I'll take it" "Come..." "Sit here" "Damn, my rotten luck to see a beggar today" "What's that smell?" "Go away..." "Not today, scram" "What's up?" "Sorry..." "What's up?" "Sorry..." "This kid is good" "You want to fight?" "What?" "I am just a poor beggar you'll be punished for kicking a destitute" "What?" "Sorry" "Damn kid" "How could you bully this beggar?" "He's my guest" "Oh?" "A beggar for a guest?" "What a joke" "Get out right now or I'll call constable Ji" "Constable Ji?" "Sorry to have caused trouble here" "It's okay, they're locals and always here to take advantage of me" "Let me buy you a drink;" "Qin Ruo, get the wine" "Qin Ruo?" "Do you have a sister?" "Yes" "Is her name Xian Qin?" "You know her?" "No, I've just heard of her though." "Where is she now?" "In Wei Hong Yuan" "Sit over here" "Hey, put your hands down" "You scared me." "Come, sit down" "A stinking beggar isn't worthy to grab a lady's hand" "Don't be so harsh" "He saved me and drove away the gang of rogues" "You're too kind" "Even that, he shouldn't be so reckless" "It's you who said man and woman shouldn't be too close" "What do you mean?" "I am no prostitute" "I told you not to operate this tavern" "You'd better..." "Nuisance" "Constable..." "What's up?" "The magistrate is getting mad" "Speak up" "Return to the court at once" "Why?" "The Swift Knight has killed people" "You as constable are still flirting with women and not doing your job, this is unacceptable" "What?" "The magistrate knows I'm here?" "Of course" "How does he know?" "That's because..." "Look at me when I'm speaking" "Because I reported it to the magistrate" "What?" "He reported it to the magistrate?" "You just asked us to report to the magistrate that there was a murder in the bamboo forest" "I have to be at Hang Fa so I reported the incident as it happened" "Damn" "Come and have a drink" "Sir..." "Let me pour you a drink" "Okay..." "Be sure you keep our guests happy" "It's alright" "Sir, you're really great let me raise you a toast" "What's her name?" "Xian Qin, she's still a virgin" "Xian Qin" "She came from the capital" "I heard her mother was a palace maid but she died recently." "And so she ends up here, having to provide for younger brother" "So Mr Li bought her?" "What do you mean?" "Mr Li comes from a reputable family why would he engage in white slave traffic?" "If you like her, it's easy" "Just tell me..." "No, I want to buy her" "Now that's not so easy" "With her looks she'll earn me big money" "Just tell me how much you want?" "Three - no - say, five hundred taels, how about that?" "Here is the deposit" "I'll bring the balance tonight but she can't serve any more customers" "Of course" "You'll have her tonight" "Xian Qin, where are you?" "Dress up, have a bath, hurry" "We are honoured by your patronage" "Follow me, have a seat there" "Sister" "Qin Ruo" "I really wanted to see you so I couldn't resist coming" "Really?" "But I told you not to come here" "Go back before someone sees you" "Have you been well?" "I'm fine" "I'm just worried about you" "Thanks" "Let's escape, shall we?" "What are you saying?" "Nothing, whenever I have time I will visit you" "Really?" "Could you go out?" "Are you free?" "What are you doing?" "Hey kid, what are you doing here?" "When did he come?" "He passed this way and dropped in to see me" "You want to escape again?" "No" "Woman from the capital?" "Yes, she came here with two kids over ten years ago her daughter should be 17 to 18 years old now and her son would be about twelve or thirteen" "Is there such a family at Dong Yang County?" "Haven't heard of it" "The purpose of my trip is to look for this family especially the two kids" "They must be important" "The court has sent you to look for them too" "It's supposed to be confidential so don't ask" "Yes, I'll send someone to look for them" "Your lordship" "Well?" "Have you got any lead?" "Not yet" "So what are you doing here?" "Didn't you send for us?" "I sent for you?" "There might be a lead maybe that... person" "Speak up" "Yes, while I was guarding the gate during the day two men came and asked me to lead them to see you" "I replied I have orders to search passers by and shouldn't leave my post at which point a weirdo appeared and volunteered to take them to see you" "Then..." "Then what happened?" "Then..." "Then they went to the Hang Fa Restaurant and he grabbed her ass" "What?" "It wasn't so" "Yes it was, you hugged her like this" "You bastard, how dare you utter such things?" "It must be that weirdo" "Weirdo?" "Are you referring to me?" "Yes, that's him, don't run" "What are you laughing at, don't fool me" "Stop pretending you can't run" "Shut up" "Damn, you are all blind" "No, my judgement can't be wrong" "I can well distinguish a criminal." "That's him" "Shut up, you dare insult him, step down" "Sir, I have orders to arrest the Swift Knight for a reward of 50 taels of silver" "You are dreaming, bastard" "This is Imperial Envoy Jia Ling" "What?" "No way" "The murdered man said he's called Jia Ling" "Sir, is this the way you treat your guests letting your man insult them?" "No, please forgive his ignorance" "No, I can't be wrong" "I know my judgment is right" "Throw him into the prison" "What, arrest me?" "Arrest him" "Constable, sorry" "Sir, him" "What do you mean by this?" "I am innocent" "Let's go" "Where is Xian Qin?" "Where are you off to?" "You can't leave without sister Yu's permission" "Your man is waiting inside you can't disappoint him" "You are already deep into this might as well be more determined and earn more money" "Don't force my hand, go in" "I was right, you bitch" "Taking you to be quite wise I treated you well but you don't know what's good for you and want to escape" "You simply don't heed what I say" "You bitch" "I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget" "What is it?" "Sister Yu is teaching someone called Xian Qin a lesson" "What did she do wrong?" "She refused to entertain guests" "Though presently her family status has declined she hails from a noble family" "Really?" "Then who's going to go call her here?" "Why are you hesitating?" "I want her to accompany me, ask her here" "Sir, to be frank someone has already redeemed her" "Who?" "That person drinking in the front room?" "Yes" "Has he paid the whole sum?" "He paid a deposit and will pay the balance tonight" "What?" "Tonight" "Since I paid for you you are mine;" "C'mon, get on the bed" "Are you crying?" "I want to die right now" "You hate me?" "I hate my life" "Dressed as a beggar but in reality a thief a promiscuous thief at that" "I'm no thief, I have a favour to ask" "Please forgive my barging in" "What's the matter?" "Please let me have this girl" "I'll pay you later" "Why do you also want her?" "I can't disclose the reason" "Then I won't budge" "You really won't?" "Even if I will, my sword won't" "Let's fight some other day" "Remember, unless paying the full sum you can't have her" "What's the matter?" "The Swift Knight would soon appear" "He is good, he could escape from here easily" "Why don't we answer his request get the silver ready and set a trap for him" "But the girl..." "I'll deal with her" "Go on then, if the magistrate is not at his residence" "The Swift Knight might not come" "How are you getting on with that matter?" "What?" "Can't even deal with a beggar?" "What's the matter?" "Nothing" "Go, kill him" "Yes, let's go" "I'm going out for a while, stay here and don't leave for anything" "We put an identifying mark on it if it's stolen, at least we have a lead" "It's the midnight bell" "It's time, I wonder if he would come" "Intruder..." "It's a trap, don't leave here" "The Swift Knight" "The Swift Knight" "Attack" "Escape, quick" "Go on" "Who are you?" "You'll be beheaded at dawn" "Why would I be?" "I haven't broken the law" "What a joke, strange!" "Let's go, quick" "Only you know the weirdo is an impostor so he's after your life to silence you" "Who is he anyway?" "The henchman of prince Jie, a real cruel man he's nicknamed Zhu Pao of Hell" "Zhu Pao of Hell?" "Sir" "What's the matter?" "Someone is storming the jail" "What?" "Damn, I'll go and take a look" "Yes" "Don't run... stop... grab him..." "Stop..." "Has anyone seen the Ji Fu?" "The Swift Knight took him away" "The Swift Knight?" ""The Swift Knight"" "Fear not, here's the ransom money for Xian Qin" "The total amount is paid, she belongs to me" "Thank you" "I should have asked for more" "Damn you, here are 500 taels of silver there couldn't be a better offer" "I still feel Xian Qin is worth a lot more" "When I was a servant at her home" "I heard her dying mother speak to her" "What did she say?" "You have blue blood and someday someone will come for you" "Could her mother have had a relationship with that person?" "I think so too" "Swift Knight, where is that girl?" "You've got your silver and now you hide her" "Where is she?" "Speak" "Chase" "Sister" "Get on the carriage, quick" "This is ridiculous you've stolen my girl, give her back" "Wait, it's not the time for a fight let's fight another day" "Leave things to me here" "Take the lady and Qin Ruo to Duan Chang Cliff" "What about you?" "I'll join you as soon as I can" "Let's hide in the cave" "Okay, I'll take care of the carriage" "So you are the Swift Knight" "I should have arrested you and got the reward" "Ji Fu" "Smells good" "Uncle..." "Very serious" "He must take the antidote or it'd be too late" "Don't worry, I won't die" "Uncle, please save him" "Okay, I'll go to Xiu De temple to get the medicine" "Ji Fu, guard them well" "Yes" "A thousand taels of silver gone for nothing" "The silver is no big deal the important thing is to get back the two kids" "The emperor is seriously ill and once he dies there is no heir" "If there're any invaders our country will be in trouble" "The son of the prince regent might be a possible candidate" "He doesn't have the quality of a king;" "besides, the king already has a son" "The king once favoured a palace maid who was banished from court after the affair" "The king however continued to visit her surreptitiously and she bore him a son and a daughter" "Eventually it became the king's own hush-hush affair" "Then Secret Service was sent to wipe out her family" "However she and her child escaped the calamity and it's rumoured they are hiding out in Dong Yang of Jiang Nan" "Please depart for this place at once and seek them back to the capital" "Zhu Pao" "It's been rumoured that the Emperor has a son" "The prince and princess are in Dong Yang county and the vice regent has sent for them" "You must be on your way at once and start off for the capital after dawn to deliver this confidential letter to the vice regent's son" "Yes" "Remember, neither you nor others should read the letter" "Guard it with your life" "Yes" "So Xian Qin and Qin Ruo are the vice regent's..." "Don't ask too many questions, ignorance is a bliss" "Uncle..." "Xian Qin, you aren't from here, are you?" "How did you know that?" "We moved from the capital" "Do you remember the old times there?" "I was very young" "While there, I remember one night robbers came and attacked and wiped out grandpa and his family" "Mother and we all hid in the cellar for one whole day and night and escaped from the capital after the robbers left" "So the three of you lived here all your life" "Until last year when mother died" "Did your mother leave a will when she died?" "Why do you ask?" "I'd like to know" "We have been trying to forget this" "I would like to know if the robbers are still looking for you two" "I want to help you but I need to know the contents of the will first" "Who are you?" "Oh, I'm just a vagabond beggar" "No, you are no ordinary person" "Never mind, time is running out" "Please tell me" "You still don't believe me" "No, when mother died..." "In the cabinet" "Mother there is a sack" "Mother" "After I die you should keep it well and don't lose it for anything" "You have blue blood and someone will come for you" "Mother..." "Just wait" "Mother..." "We have been waiting for someone to fetch us" "That someone is here" "Where?" "Unfortunately he is dead" "That weirdo is called Zhu Pao and he was sent to kill you both by the son of the prince regent" "I was right my judgement couldn't be wrong" "The magistrate is foolish and mistakenly locked me up" "Why would they want to kill us?" "With you alive, prince Jie could not ascend the throne" "But I don't want to get involved in their quarrel" "You are already destined" "Where are your mother's effects?" "In Wei Hong Yuan" "When I escaped I couldn't carry anything" "Damn" "How could you have forgotten something so important?" "I want no riches or glory" "I only want to be an ordinary citizen and lead a peaceful existence" "We have to think of a way to leave here" "We don't know the Swift Knight's background and what are his intentions!" "Uncle, with your wounds still fresh you can't move" "Yes, we have to take care of the poison or it'll be dangerous" "We can't be bothered with that now we must leave early and get back the clothes" "I'm fine" "Where are you headed?" "You want to exploit this opportunity?" "I paid for this woman" "I must take them with me no matter what" "You want to claim the reward, right?" "Let us pass" "No way, unless you killed me" "The Swift Knight" "Secret Service?" "I am the secret service commander Liu Xuan Ping" "Prince regent commanded me to carry out his orders if anyone stands in the way he'll be dead" "So, a cur of the government, huh!" "I am the Swift Knight and" "I defy your government" "Okay, we'll decide who dies today" "Your wounds are not yet healed you might not be my match" "Wait" "So the secret service is also afraid to die" "I am not afraid of dying my life is less important than the country" "After you kill me please escort them to the prince regent's court" "Come on" "They are Zhu Pao's men" "Lord Liu..." "They're here, go quickly" "Let's leave" "Wait, I'll get uncle's sack" "Okay" "Constable" "Yes" "Could you do me a favour?" "Yes" "The situation is urgent now" "If we don't report to the prince regent in time they will be attacked" "Please go to the capital for me" "Yes" "Ji Fu might not be able to carry this out" "The journey is long and he might be ambushed by Zhu Pao's men" "I'll go" "You?" "Am I not eligible?" "Why would you want to help us?" "Out of a sense of justice that's what heroes do" "Let me handle this" "So Swift Knight, it's in your hands now" "The 'Swift Knight' name is just a make-shift my real name is Lei Fang" "Brother Lei, I leave it in your good hands" "When my wounds are healed I'll look for the clothes" "Hero Lei, don't go" "I am a royal descendent no doubt" "But rather than enjoy riches and oppress the people," "I'd prefer to be with you all my life" "You're wrong, lady" "I admire you the way you are;" "simple and sincere" "I appreciate your kind intentions" "But you must realise" "I am a petty vagabond" "Please try to forget me" "You have bought me why don't you want me?" "The situation is different now" "I don't want you to go" "We found the two persons you commanded us to look for" "It's been accomplished" "We wish you'd accomplish your task and ascend the throne" "Your servant Zhu Pao" "You will be rewarded" "Thank you" "Since you know the secret you must die" "You trash, how dare you eavesdrop!" "Nice figure... come on, men" "Your highness" "Escort her to the cellar" "Yes" "Tell us who sent you" "Well?" "I will tell you..." "Hurry" "His highness" "My father?" "His highness said the prince's room..." "Prepare for the journey" "Hurry, or his majesty will find out" "Zhu Pao is not brutal enough, damn it" "Where's Jie?" "The emperor is seriously ill he is trying to figure things out" "How useless!" "Who are you?" "Your majesty" "I came from Tung Yan county by the orders of commander Liu" "So I see, how did he do?" "Has he found the prince and princess?" "Yes" "Great, where are they now?" "Tell me, where are they?" "He's here, grab him and we'll get the reward" "Right, then we could open a branch" "Where did you hide Xian Qirs sack?" "I don't know" "Speak up" "Didn't you use it for betting?" "I lost a lot that day" "Speak up" "That's the day when I met you" "I pledged it to borrow chips to gamble" "Sorry about this then, go over there" "Scent of a woman?" "It can't be, it's uncle Liu's" "That's strange" "He is very promiscuous" "How could the clothing be with..." "Master Liu..." "Ah, got it" "That day when uncle Liu was fighting..." "Stop fighting..." "Stop fighting..." "So that's what happened" "We'll have to tell uncle Liu otherwise he'll be in danger roaming around" "Right, let me go and tell him quickly" "You two stay put" "Lord Liu, didn't see you for a while" "our encounters were brief and now I see your real face today" "What is your business here?" "My affairs ain't any of your business" "I know even if you don't tell me" "There's much gold here" "So long as you help us you could be promoted and get rich why waste your life on those two kids" "Speak for yourself" "I lay down my life for my principles" "Lord Liu, the clothing is found" "What?" "Miss" "Miss..." "Qin Ruo" "They're gone" "Must have been taken away by our men" "Sir, so what brings you here?" "Attack" "Capture him" "Yes" "Prince, the two kids are captured and sent to the magistrate's office" "Useless fool, you should execute them on the spot" "You are devils, beasts" "Execute them" "Yes" "Stop" "Attack" "Sir, we're here to help you" "Thank you all" "Sir, hurry and go" "Take them away" "Yes" "Kill them" "Yes" "Come over here or they die" "Hero Lei" "Hero Lei" "Princess, congratulations on your return" "I must thank you for your help" "Take care, princess" "Don't address me as princess" "I'd rather just be Xian Qin" "You are too modest" "Hero Lei, no matter where you go" "I am willing to follow and serve you" "You are of royal blood" "I am merely a vagabond" "Moreover, my hands are full of blood which will never wash clean" "I wish your hands would be clean from now on" "I will always remember what you say" "It's late, you'd best be on your way" "Hero Lei, is there nothing that will change your mind?" "I have decided to become a farmer" "But I sure hope one day you will change your mind" "Take care" "Hero Lei... wait for us!"
