The Legend Of Aqua Witch (Yu Yao Zhi / 鱼妖志)

The wind is strong.

The wind...

Wait for me.

Have you heard of

the wind a few days ago?

I heard that

a big monster came

and fell into the Qujiang Pool.

Don't talk about the monster.

Get to work.

Hurry up.

We don't have time to eat.

Push harder.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up.

Over there.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

The old coroner sent us to carry out an autopsy.

Miss Shangguan.

Why are you here?

Master is sick.

He asked me to come.

Master told me to come here,

but she insisted to come.

Didn't we ask the old coroner to come?

Miss Shangguan,

when did the old coroner in the Highest Judiciary

become your master?

I'm so obedient.

Who doesn't want to be my master?

You're right.

Fine.

You can take a look.

Have you found the lower body?

Not yet.

These days,

five bodies have been found

in the Qujiang Pool.

They were all incomplete.

Judging from the surface of the body,

the man doesn't seem to be killed by a knife or an ax.

He is more likely to be killed

by animals like tigers or wolves.

And there are remnants of skin and meat

inside the finger nails.

It seemed that he had struggled before he died.

He was killed by animals...

Why was he in the river?

Maybe he was thrown into the river

after he was killed.

We need to

cut him open

and check his intestines

and respiratory tract.

My lord,

who is she?

She is the prime minister of the royal agent,

Guo Changzhi, Mr. Guo's niece.

I'll pass the throne to the Crown Prince.

What do you

think about it?

Your Majesty,

now the country is prosperous and the people are at peace.

Your Majesty, the people respect you.

If you pass the throne rashly,

I'm afraid

the people will be restless.

What Mr. Shen said

is exactly what I think.

Your Majesty,

recently, there's said to be a fish monster

in the Qujiang Pool.

Many people were killed.

It's a bad omen.

Can we wait

until...

Mom. Mom.

Cheng, come here.

As for the succession,

can we wait until the weather goes well next year... -Mr. Guo.

What do you think?

As for the so-called bad omen,

I think

it's just a rumor.

We can't believe it.

Your Majesty,

I think

if Your Majesty is the Grand Emperor,

firstly,

Your Majesty can still manage state affairs.

The Crown Prince is young and promising.

It's beneficial to our country.

Secondly,

Your Majesty can have a rest.

Your Majesty don't need to be over tired.

Mr. Guo

knows my thoughts.

It is said that there is a fish monster in Qujiang Pool which eats people.

Is that true?

Although this is rare,

it's not something we've never heard of.

I think the truth is that

someone spread the rumor.

His purpose is

to stop His Majesty

from passing the throne to Your Highness.

Yu.

Where are you going?

Uncle,

I'll go out for a walk.

Look at you.

You are in men's clothes

and you run around.

Is that appropriate?

I think it's good.

I heard that

you always go to the Highest Judiciary recently.

You shouldn't go there.

People were killed in the Qujiang Pool.

I'm curious.

I want to check it out.

So as for this kind of things,

as a girl,

why are you curious?

Your father asked me to take care of you

before he died.

If

he were alive,

he wouldn't want to

see you like this.

Uncle, I'll be back early today.

Yu. Yu.

Here, your pancakes.

Okay, put it down.

Xue.

Little beggar.

Here, have some pancakes.

Xue,

this meal is on me.

You have earned a lot.

Tell me.

What can I do for you?

I can't find my brother.

How long has he been missing?

He didn't come back last night.

Just one night?

It's fine.

He can't leave me.

Besides,

many people who drive dogs away

are gone.

People who drive dogs away?

It means us, the beggars.

I'm afraid that Douzi was caught too.

An old beggar saw it with his own eyes that

those two people were wearing boots.

They look like people who work in the government.

No!

Please let me go.

Don't be afraid.

Look at my eyes.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Are you ready?

This medicine

is only effective with virgin meat.

Let's go there to have a look.

Let's go.

What is it?

What is it?

Don't run, Demon!

Chase her! Don't let her escape!

Don't let her run away.

This way.

Who are you?

You are no match for me.

The water monster

has nothing to do with me.

Then why were you there?

Let's go.

Let's go back to the Highest Judiciary and make it clear.

Don't worry.

In a few days,

by then,

I'll let you eat as much as you want.

Only you

never dislike me.

Your Majesty.

Actually, I'm here

for the Crown Prince's Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony.

Ceremony?

The Crown Prince misses his mother.

It's right.

But if he wants to show it on the Mid-Autumn Festival,

in front of

the people,
