"That military ship was carrying josam of 1000 geuns weight." "Two varieties of clothes, five hundred each." "This is beyond the level of losses that Heuksa Chorong can help with."

"Well, isn't that why I am asking you what you will be doing?" "Are you better now, Your Majesty?" "=Queen Jeong Sun=" "What happened?"

"What should I do?" "Therefore, Heuksa Chorong will wash our hands of it." "What?" "Initially I hadn't envisioned that the matter would turn out like this, but the military ship sank, and naturally the officials will have to take the responsibility." "Though losing ginseng and hemp clothes is a pity, isn't it still something that should not be found and recovered?" "If my words... are incorrect, please advise." "Since you received the imperial decree, you should do all that you can." "Yes." "Sir." "For this case you are handling, I can be of some help." "No, it is dangerous." "Please do not refuse." "At least this one time, I want to be able to do something for you." "Let's do it like that." "She will certainly be of help." "What happened?" "I am also not sure." "By tomorrow, it will definitely get better." "It will be just like before, like nothing happened." "One by one, in the most cruel and brutal way in this world." "Using the most painful way to kill." "Are you feeling better now?" "Get ready to leave." "I'm eating, but not because it's delicious, but because it will help me get better." "So, I have no choice but to eat." "Ajussi." "What is it?" "Ajussi, that sword you use, how many people has it killed?" "Why do you want to know?" "No, don't answer." "You want to say that those who died by this sword are pitiful?" "Or that the smell of blood from my body... is so disgusting?" "I want to say, my mother is pitiful." "Ah, are you going somewhere?" "Yes." "I'm going to check on the merchants that handle ginseng." "Are you going together?" "Yes." "Then... we are leaving." "Well, if you're going to the market you should take Mi So." "She knows the market very well and will be of great help." "Get ready to go then." "We will wait for you." "Aigoo..." "What's bothering you?" "Aishh..." "That fellow Dong Su, seems satisfied with himself." "But why do I feel somewhat unhappy?" "I miss the naive Dong Su a little." "Miss, let's go." "How are you feeling?" "Even now the poison has not been completely removed." "I'm always a burden to you, Sir." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Ajussi, Ajumma, hello." "Miss, hurry, it is here." "These ginseng roots are good." "Yes, newly arrived ginseng." "That is called Gaesong ginseng, popular here in Joseon." "Smell it." "It's good, very good." "Miss!" "Where did this ginseng come from?" "You can see that this is the best quality ginseng." "Looks like you understand a bit about medicine." "You don't seem to be sent by the officials." "Who are you?" "Hey, our lady is just asking because she's curious." "We are not here to accuse you of any crime." "Please don't worry and talk to us."

"How about the messenger?" "About that.." "till now, there's still no news." "It should have arrived by now." "By this time, there should be a lot of merchants." "Aigoo..."

"It's rather obvious!" "I'm going to the palace to inquire further." "Miss, you should go back." "It still has such distinctive Ginseng smell." "Aigoo, this is really heartbreaking." "What are you doing?" "Aigoo, it's such a pity that it's ginseng." "Why must we burn them?" "Didn't I say, it's a real waste." "This is clearly ginseng." "It should be the josam that got in."

"So I think, this was done by the Japanese." "Right now, are you saying it was the Japanese?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "There is some report that the Japanese who were rather quiet before because of their internal rifts, have once again started their invasive harassment." "If this has something to do with Japan, then it won't be resolved that easily." "Defense Minister, you shall verify the situation." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Defense Minister." "Is this incident really the Japanese's doing?" "Definitely, Your Excellency." "If it's not the Japanese, who else would dare do such a thing?" "Could the ship transporting the ginseng from Gyeongju... perhaps be the same warship that got shipwrecked?" "Your Excellency, the facts have not been ascertained, so how could you jump to such a conclusion?" "More importantly, how is Her Majesty doing?" "She is still unconscious." "This is becoming a big problem." "It would be better if she awakens soon." "Please allow me to take my leave." "Can the power you hold really last long?" "It is not far." "It really is not far." "Why are you lying down like this?" "Hurry and get better." "Your Majesty Grandmother." "She still hasn't regained consciousness." "Your Majesty, I am here to greet you." "I hope you have a quick recovery... to welcome this Prince Heir." "Who sent you here?" "Sent..." "No one, Sir." "We just saw someone at this empty house and came to check on it." "Do not show up again." "Miss, are you thinking about Jin Ju?" "Whether it is the Sky Lord or that girl Jin ju, they both have long lives." "There's no need to worry." "How are you feeling?" "I feel a lot better now." "Did something happen in the palace?" "Yes." "Her Majesty the Queen drank some boiled tea made of josam and passed out." "Her Majesty the Queen drank some boiled tea made of josam and passed out." "Her Majesty the Queen drank some tea boiled with josam and fainted." "Josam?" "Yes." "The josam that reached the palace must be the josam that Heuksa Chorong handed over to the Defense Minister." "What?" "Things are getting troublesome." "This is a piece of black birch from the hull of the ship." "This is an arrow used by the Japanese." "Very good." "Where did you get it?" "From the educational materials in the training room." "Educational materials?" "But Your Excellency, what are we going to use them for?" "A person... needs to be one step ahead of others." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "This arrow really belongs to the Japanese." "Was this taken from the sunken warship?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "This piece of black birch contains traces of salt." "It's definitely from the warship wreckage." "Furthermore, that arrow, is the same as the ones that the Japanese use." "But this arrowhead is already rusty." "Your Majesty, even if the arrow is new, but once it touches ocean water, it will rust very quickly." "Your Majesty." "Isn't this a serious provocation against the Joseon land and Qing?" "However, you can't condemn the Japanese just by using this piece of evidence." "Select a team of experienced Navy personnel... to re-investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly." "Your subject, Defense Minister Hong Dae Ju, will fulfill the task of finding out the truth." "Very good." "Your Majesty." "I have a presumptuous request." "What is it?" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, Kim Sang Ung hung herself to death." "What did you say?" "Because of the ginseng tea she prepared," "Her Majesty the Queen has lost consciousness." "Presumably she committed suicide to take responsibility." "Who might you be?" "..." "I am Deputy Commissioner of Housekeeping, Hong Guk Yeong," "I'm here on orders by His Majesty the King." "His Majesty?" "Can I visit the person in charge of ginseng in the Royal Kitchen Office?" "Ginseng is very precious, so we use it rather sparingly." "= 12 geuns : 7.2 kg =- ." "All together, we have about 12 geuns of it." "Your Highness, from the way the ginseng was hurriedly burnt, we can presume that the Queen had actually drank josam tea." "Moreover, nasam, that was meant for the palace, was found at the market." "Moreover, nasam, that was meant for the palace, was found at the market." "Till now, the market merchants are still waiting for the josam from the sunken warship." "Till now, the market merchants are still waiting for the josam from the sunken warship." "So it would appear that the sunken warship and the case of the ginseng tea in the palace, could be related." "They do appear to be related." "You do not have to worry, Your Highness." "Allow me to search behind the scenes and provide a better report." "Also, on Kim Sung Gung's suicide... let me investigate it." "I'll rely on you." " Yes, Your Highness." " Yes, Your Highness." "You have not asked for news about that girl recently." "Is something wrong with her?" "There's nothing." "I thought that you had forgotten her, so I was just asking." "That is impossible." "This is the ginseng residue." "Where did you get it?" "It's a part of the residue evidence taken by the Deputy Commissioner Hong Guk Yeong." "Deputy Commissioner Hong Guk Yeong have some connection with that woman." "That woman has a deep knowledge of ginseng and should already know that this is josam." "I have already prepared the boat to Anheung." "If there's anything you need, please ask me." "Thank you for your kindness." "But that is unnecessary." "Don't get involved." "Gu Hyang, give me some liquor." "Give me some liquor." "This woman treats me like I'm a chamber pot." "Rotten brat!" "Did you cook and eat the book on rules and etiquette?" "If Sky Lord sees you dragging on carelessly like this, he certainly won't be able to restrain himself." "Yes." "Laughable, isn't it?" "I also find myself ridiculous." "Go ahead and laugh..." "Laugh." "But give me some liquor." "No need for snacks." "P..." "Po..." "Poisoned liquor..." "Make me go drunk and mad." "Give me poisoned liquor." "Give me poisoned liquor." "What can I, a useless person, do?" "I'd be better off drunk!" "So what's left now is to ensure the last sweep of the evidence." "Is the place where the ship sank called Anheung?" "Yes." "Go ahead." "You will be able to find the answer if you go there." "Yes, I understand." "I'll go with you too." "If you leave, who will look after the business?" "Isn't there Miss Jin Ju?" "What can you help if you go?" "How about I go?" "If I'm with you, my knowledge of ginseng will be very helpful." "Let's do this then." "Compared to Dong Su going alone, this is better." "Yes, I got it." "Then, I will go with Miss." "We need to head out early tomorrow morning, please prepare well." "Then, we're leaving." "Take care." "Hyeongnim." "Don't those two look like a pair of lovebirds?" "Jin..." "Jin Ju." " Ajussi." " Back off." "Move back!" "Remain at the back." "Are you here to hide some treasure?" "A treasure more precious than my life." "Today is the day you die." "Don't you have to show you can do it?" "Come with me." "Quickly, leave." "You think I am going to die?" "I don't wish to leave the daughter and die." "Leave now!" "Quickly!" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Mother, please don't give up." "Mother!" "Mother!" "Mother, Mother." "Is this not enough?" "Child, help your mother to stand up." "Mother, stand up." "Don't, Mother." "One thing is for certain." "One of us will die today." "If it is not mine, then it is your grave." "Mother!" "Mother." "Child, your mother is fine." "Mother!" "Mother, stand up." "What are your thoughts today?" "Looks like taking your life, may need 3 or 4 days." "I will come and find you again." "Look at me, Mother." "Mother!" "Ajussi..." "Save... save my mother please." "Fetch a doctor, quickly." "Yes..." "Mother, I'll come back soon." "Ga Ok." "It will probably take about half a month." "That's right." "The way I see it," "Dong Su, you are a big problem." "What?" "Well, think about it..." "Hanyang was all peaceful..." "Then somehow, like they were waiting for you to show up, incidents broke out everywhere." "You, a third level in liberal arts don't know about coincidences like "pears drop when crow flies"?" "My goodness!" "You want to show off your knowledge in front of me?" "A boat came in." "Could you hold on for a minute, please!" "Wait, wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Excuse me." "Finally caught up..." "Why have you changed your mind overnight?" "First of all, I need to hear your reply, Your Excellency." "That I can guarantee that woman's life?" "And if I do so?" "Your Excellency, our earlier agreement..." "You must surely comply with it." "You head out first." "I will follow afterwards." "The ambiance is really nice." "Do you both know... that woman who's like a tomboy?" "A tomboy..." "Hwang Jin Ju." "Ah, yes, Hwang Jin Ju." "The pearl..." "Quickly give me some." "I know." "You'd better not run." "Yes... you've worked hard." "Ah really..." "This beautiful leg..." "Don't you know the injury would worsen if you run like that?" "Oh, you scared me!" "But why are you here?" "I'm busy right now, I have no time to play with you." "I will go now." "Hey, take it easy, easy... walk slowly." "But that person, what is he doing here?" "I saw that she hurt her ankle." "Will she be all right?" "I heard that Jin Ju is now in Gaesong." "What?" "Gaesong?" "I heard that Jin Ju was sent to Gaesong." "The situation has changed." "Where is Ga Ok?" "So, the Prince Heir told you to come?" "Yes." "His Highness ordered me to help you two." "What abilities do you have to help out?" "My drawing is not bad." "=Anheungyang:" "located around current Taean County=" "=Seo Yu Dae=" "Wow, the weather is not bad." "What are you guys burning?" "It's nothing." "How come it smells like medicinal herbs?" "Are you Admiral Seo?" "That's right." "I am a constable from Anheung." "What's the matter?" "There is something that I would like you to confirm." "Something is very strange, but first let's look at it." "What is it?" "It's gone?" "!" "Earlier, everything inside was ginseng." "Ginseng?" "Yes." "This event... is getting more and more confusing." "It's time to ferret out all the Heuksa people... to find out the truth." "=Anheung Police Bureau=- . ." "=Anheung Police Bureau=- ." "All you guys..." "All you guys... confirmed that the warship sank, right?" "Was it the Japanese's doing?" "As long as you tell the truth, there will be no problems!" "All you fellows..." "I also understand..." "that the place where the accident happened, was not a route they usually take!" "Why did they take the longer route?" "It eventually led to the sinking of the ship." "If it were you guys, would you do that?" "You still won't tell the truth?" "Do as I say, or I'll take it as you don't value your lives." "After we heard the sound of gunship fire, our military ship sank." "Certainly, it was done by the Japanese!" " It was done by the Japanese!" " It was done by the Japanese!" "All you fellows..." "I'll give you one last chance." "If you still won't say what occurred, don't blame me later for not giving you a chance, once I cut his neck." "Tell me what really happened!" "Admiral, please let me live!" " Please let him live." " Please let him live." "I'll ask you again." "The warship's sinking... was it really the Japanese's doing?" "Yes." "You fellow..." "Are you not afraid of losing your head?" "You dare deceive the Admiral." "I will cut off your head first." "You fellow..." "Stop!" "In whose name are you cutting off their heads?" "Well, the Minister of Defense." "Why might you be here?" "Admiral Seo receive the royal decree." "Fine." "Before the matter is clear," "Admiral Seo is suspended from duties." "First, we have to look for the witnesses from the scene." "Excuse me." "I have something to ask you." "He's really an interesting person." "Yes, but shouldn't you be searching for the officers first?" "Looking for the officers will not change anything." "Because events like this may involve them, even if they are not directly involved." "When the ship sank, there was an elderly fisherman nearby." "I heard that you hid a box that was washed up ashore." "I do not have it." "Do you wish to live?" "Yes, Sir." "Then you hurry and get out of here." "If you don't go, you might be killed." "Yes." "Old man..." "I have something to ask you." "Old... old mister." "You..." "What are you doing here?" "You brat, what are you doing here?" "Did you not leave Bongsudae... to enjoy peace here?" "You brat, you show no respect for your elders..." "You were dismissed?" "So, the Defense Minister did the sentencing in person?" "Yes, that's right." "How else could he dismiss me?" "You've been dismissed from being an Admiral, yet you're still able to laugh about it?" "This is the third time in my life I've been removed from my position." "Unfortunately, the only witness has disappeared." "It will not be easy to find evidence." "Baek Dong Su?" "Yes, I was following Admiral Seo and saw him afterwards." "Why is that fellow here?" "Also, there's that samini bitch and this scholar guy." "What should we do?" "Kill them." "You..." "Don't say anything." "Jin Ju..." "She is all right, don't worry." "I am sorry." "Jin Ju, that child... is not... not your daughter." "Didn't I tell you not to say anything?" "It doesn't matter if she is my daughter or not." "She is the child who has made my dying heart beat again." "That should be enough." "Ga Ok, did you not... tell me to save her?" "I am sorry." "I... am dying." "I know that." "I have something to ask of you." "Do you want to see Gwang Taek?" "In my heart, there is only you Ga Ok." "In your heart, there is only Gwang Taek." "It is all right..." "Thank you." "Quickly come here!" "Ga Ok." "Sir..." "Why do you look so weak?" "You... you have to hold on." "Did I not promise you?" "Did I not promise to be with you for a lifetime?" "It is still not too late." "Get up." "Get up and live the rest of your life with me." "Sir..." "No, you cannot go." "I..." "I can't let you go." "Thank you..." "No, you... you cannot go." "I want to be the wind... to be with you..." "Blowing towards the mountains, the earth, and the sea." "I want... want to go everywhere with you." " Ga Ok." " Sir, can you grant me that wish?" "No, I won't let you go." "Ga Ok..." "Ga Ok..." "Ga Ok, don't die." "Ga Ok!" "Ga Ok, don't die, Ga Ok!" "Ga Ok, Ga Ok!" "You cannot die..." "Ga Ok..." "Today, we will be staying here." "Then how about us men have a drink?" "Today, we should rest." "Fine then." "I won't think too much about it." "You will..." "lose your life first." "You can't sleep?" "What brings you here?" "It is very dangerous here." "Why aren't you asleep?" "How can I sleep at ease?" "You should be tired from your voyage." "Please go back and rest." "I'm not." "What is it?" "Nothing... maybe I didn't see anything." "All right." "Sir..." "Did you come with the Defense Minister?" "Yes." "You cannot just go back?" "I too have something I must do here." "Sir..." "This is something you don't want to do, right?" "You can leave that place..." "The only place I should be at, is Heuksa Chorong." "What?" "Not even one was killed?" "I am sorry." "Because the Human Lord intervened..." "Are you talking about Yeo Un?" "Your Excellency, our earlier agreement..." "You must surely comply with it." "I need to go to Hanyang." "You handle the funeral, all right?" "Yes." "You said funeral..." "To eliminate future troubles, isn't it?" "All of it." "Help!" "Help!" "Put out the fire!" "Admiral, no matter how I look at it, the Defense Minister looks suspicious." "There was so much ginseng earlier." "He showed up, and it all disappeared." "Sir..." "Miss, where did you go at such a late hour?" "I just went to get some fresh air." "I'm sorry." "Old mister..." "Admiral..." "Why you..." "Admiral, all the navy personnel in prison have been killed." "What?" "Then how did you survive?" "You have to tell the truth." "Yeo Un, isn't it?" "I am detecting an intent to kill." "Your Excellency, we have seen too much bloodshed." "Is that... something an assassin should say?" "But why did you not comply with our agreement?" "Are you talking about that woman?" "For the sake of a woman, an assassin wouldn't treasure his life?" "Today, I want Your Excellency's head."
