The Duke of Mount Deer (鹿鼎記)

How are you?

Chan Kan-nam, I knew it was you

Run, let me cover for you

Get him! Whatever it takes

The boatman won't wait any longer

You run, let me see you to the boat

No, if we run away

What about you and Big Brother?

I'll wait here

If you miss the boat

You may not go back to Taiwan again

Run, come on No...

Come on, run...

Run...

Big Brother, you are injured, let me...

Big Brother, Ngo Bye promised me

He would not harm you

He said if you would surrender

He would make you...

Shut up! If I let you live

I would fail General Luk who was dead And other brethren

Big Brother, you forgive me

Big Brother, we are sworn brothers

You forgive me this once, Big Brother

For wealth and fortune

You betray your country and people

Big Brother, when Coxinga retreated to Taiwan

The fate of Ming was sealed

We are just going to our death Shut up

You traitor

Counselor Chan

Chan...

Counselor Chan, where are you going?

The boat is waiting for you

You don't have to worry about me You just go

You have found another boatman

We risked our lives to come look for you

Why you have to do it?

You want to assassinate Ngo Bye

But you won't let us in

You keep it to yourself

You don't see us as your brethren

You two take care

Counselor Chan

Go to Taiwan with us

It is dangerous for you to stay here

Even if you can Ngo Bye, so what?

You can't kill them all You are just going to your death

To be honest

I want to stay behind because I have a plan

Like you said, the Qing has consolidated their rule

Ngo Bye dead or alive makes no difference

In our last military defeat, not just us

Many soldiers have not retreated in time

They have gone into hiding in the Jiangnan region

They have changed their names and identities

But they may still be caught and killed

There is nothing we can do

There is, I mean to contact them

And gather loyal martial heroes

To swear into alliance and form a secret society

We will hide in the mainland and take on the Manchus

Good idea, by covering for one and other

We can shield us from the Qing court's persecution

Secondly, when Taiwan strikes back

We can be their internal help It is two birds with one stone

Counselor Chan, your intelligence and bravery has my total admiration

When it is done, I will contact Coxinga in Taiwan

Yes Smooth sailing

We are willing to stay behind

And follow Counselor in reviving Ming rule

Counselor, where are we going?

Yangzhou

Mr Cheung, how nice of you to come...

Enjoy yourselves

Mr Wong, nice to see you...

Come more often...

What are you doing here?

You little rascal...

Mom, you are killing me...

Little rascal, I wish I were...

You have torn my ear...

I wish you were dead, I didn't have to scold you day and night

And scold my voice hoarse

You little rascal, just drop dead

What are you looking for?

You have taken all my money

There is nothing left

I am looking for medicinal wine My chest hurts

Your chest hurts? Let me see

Really

That chicken seller did it to you

Served you right...

He started it, he will see

Why you hit me? I am injured

He started it, indeed

Words won't kill, you little rascal

Mom, my ribs all bruised

I am going to die

Die? Not so easy

Little rascal, hold it

Wait, I can do it myself

What's the big deal? Let me do it

Don't forget I gave birth to you

What's there to hide?

It hurts It hurts?

No! When Hun Tuo cut up Guam Yu's arm to scrape away the poison (mm the bone

He didn't even cringe

He even had the mood to read

Holding a book with one hand while stroking his beard with the other

I am taking you to yamen tomorrow

You have to be smart and quick from now on

Yamen?

I have been in this business for so long

This is the first time I met people like him

Who pissed you off this time? Lady Boss

Giving away books in the brothel, really

He said it was for our relatives and friends

Only he treasures it so much

Calling it the treasure of Huzhou

It is written by the precious son of his

Now every girl of Lai Chun Court has one

It really is a treasure

Lady Boss...come over and look

What is it?

What dynasty are we in?

He still uses the reign title of Ming

How audacious, he is doomed

What do you mean?

He should use the reign title of Qing

But he uses Ming reign titles instead

Yungli? Longwu?

He puts them in his book

So he still sees himself a Ming subject

And not acknowledges Qing rule

Why should you care? Whatever he prefers

What are you talking about?

What dynasty are we in?

He still uses Ming reign titles It is rebellion

If I can inform against him

I may be able to redeem myself

And be reinstated as magistrate

Or even be promoted by 3 ranks

How to inform against him?

It is a secret, I can't tell you You are a loose cannon

What takes it so long?

Some airs for such a small yamen

How ridiculous, I say...

What are you doing? You little rascal

Little rascal, sit still

Be courteous when he comes out

Yes Sit still

I am sorry to have taken so much of your time

It was my pleasure

What a coincidence, it is you Yes

So I leave it to you, Constable Ching

You can be rest assured

When the magistrate comes back

I will deliver it to him

Thank you...| bid you goodbye Take care

Oh yes, Constable Ching, once you have any news

Please inform me immediately Of course

Constable Ching

You too come to inform on Squire Chang?

Chang who? Nothing then

You mean the Squire Chang you brought along last night?

You said he came to Yangzhou for business

What's he got to do with Magistrate Ng?

He owes Lai Chun Court money?

You said he was a wealthy squire in Nanchen

What do you come here for? Just say it

I have other things to do

It is like this, Constable Ching

Little rascal, come over here

This is my son, he is quite a grown-up now

I mean to ask you to take him in as a guard here

Just a little token

I am sorry, I am busy, leave it for later

Constable Ching, it won't take up too much of your time

Guard

Then I won't take up your time

Come, little rascal, let us go...

What a pest

Constable Ching

I have to go out for some urgent matter I will be back very soon

The notices are done, they can be posted

Yes sir

Mom, you go back first
