CHAPTER 1 (PART 1)

Hurry! It's this place. Hurry!

Hurry!

Search carefully.

Head, there's no finding.

We've really searched very clearly.

There isn't a single monk in the temple.

That's right. Right.

There's no blood trails as well?

No.

Everything's in right order.

No signs of fighting whatsoever.

So that means

bandits plundering the Temple and snatching the people is not a possibility.

For no good reason, why would all those monks have disappeared?

Leader, how are we to report back

the Temple's undisturbed state?

Yet all the monks disappeared without cause or reason.

Will Lord accept this explanation?

He'll still have to accept it even if he don't.

Yes.

That is the truth.

What exactly happened last night?

Let's go back to the Ya Men first.

Yes, yes.

Look!

Look there!

~Five Years Later~

Granny, take a look at it. How is it?

Ok, ok.

You're really a nice person.

Granny, this...

You're referring to the money, right?

Next time I write letters

and the previous times I write letters

a dozen times I will pay you all together.

But you've already...

Granny's illiterate.

You're a really nice person.

Next time, I'll give you next time!

Lad, give me.

Gave me the pen?

Are you joking with me?

Protection money!

Why should I give you any protection money when you didn't even gave me any protection?

Beat him up!

What are you trying to do?

Master Zhu! Master Zhu!

Long Tan, that silly scholar is being beaten up.

Let's go and take a look!

Stop it! Stop it!

Who're you?

Who am I is not important,

what's important is that you're a bad guy!

You should be beaten up.

You dare to hit me?

money draft...take it

You people, this bunch of bastards,

bullying the citizens

Must hit!

There's still one more piece.

You this bunch of people,

bullied the weak but scared of power.

You were all scared when you meet me.

I cannot stand seeing this.

Still must hit!

Still dare to hit?!

Take it. Take it.

Alright. Alright.

Don't let me see you people here again in the future.

scram

All give you. All give you.

Go and drink some tea, drink some tea.

Yours, take it.

Are you fine?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Master Zhu's really generous.

very attractive

Really handsome.

What are you trying to do?!

What am I trying to do?!

Young lad, you are poor but...

still so lecherous.

I...I should beat you shameless couple

I'm not.

Look, Young mistress. It's Young master.

Xiao Lian

I lend you money to take care of you father's restaurant

I didn't think

you actually brought the money to a Brothel.

and you walk around with this hustler

she's the hustler, it's not me

You're exactly a beast.

You are a beast in disguise.

That's right. You're exactly a beast.

You're exactly a beast. What are you trying to say?

you...you what..

I'll hit him, hit him

Wife.

Husband, what are you trying to do?

this kid went too far

I've heard it, but you shouldn't hit him

you have to give him a chance to change

How will that do?

Who doesn't make mistakes?

Ok then.

Enough, enough. Don't hit anymore.

because of my wife, I'll let you off this time

thank you, Sis-in-Law

Wife, where are you going to now?

I'm on my way to the temple to offer my incense.

To offer your incense?

Then you can go now.

Ok Husband, I'll going off now.

Ok.

I'll leave first

See you, Wife.

Wife, walk slowly

Young mistress, I think

this has nothing to do with that kid

it is our Master...

Don't say anymore. Let's go!

Sweetheart

Come, come, come

Let me see, are you alright?

go to hell

Master, Master...

forget it, forget it...

there's a lot more like her

Both of you go and take a look

where else we can go to have fun

Brother.

I'm not hitting you,

I'm treating you to some tea.

Let's go.

Really drinking tea?

Really drinking tea, really drinking tea.

Those people are obviously bullying you.

that's outrageous

tomorrow, I'm going to see my Great-grand father

let you, dreamer of a scholar

open your shop anywhere you want to

forget it

if it goes to court

I won't even be able to earn money for food

If I cannot stay here,I'm sure there's a place out there for me.

I don't believe

I can't find a place to open shop

I really don't understand you.

I told you before,

I could give you some money to start a small business

why would you accept it from me

no matter how hard

are also from my own hard work.

I would like to depend on these hands

to bring back my father's fortune

You

are good at everything

except the fact that you're too stubborn.

But your Father is really very unlucky.

to have someone trick him into loosing all of his family's fortune

causing you to

this state now.

Don't mention anymore.

Now, I just want to become the Top Scholar quickly.

So that I can bring honour to my father.

After that, you could also marry...

your Big Missy Shen, right?

I cannot understand this matter.

Why must you pass the examination...before you can marry her?

What should you do if you failed?

That means that I cannot marry Yue Jiao.

But your marriage was arranged in the past.

What has that got to do with the examination?

They aren't unreasonable.

Currently, our Meng family and Yue Jiao...

aren't matched in terms of our status.

If we insisted on asking the hand of Yue Jiao,

We may make her suffer.

That's why Uncle Shen wanted me... to work hard for the examination.

So that when I marry Yue Jiao,

it will be more reasonable.

It's also better for Yue Jiao too.

Everybody knows that it's difficult...

to pass the examination.

² Not to mention being the Top Scholar (1st place).

In my opinion, Shen family...

are just fooling you.

They don't want to talk about this marriage.

It's impossible. Yue Jiao isn't such a person.

let's stop talking about me, let's talk about you

me, talk about what?

Sis-in-law is a good wife

you should treat her better

your words...is not the first time you've say it

I'm feeling sorry for your wife.

She is a good wife...

and took good care of your family.

Why are you unfaithful to her?

You didn't understand.
