The Vengeful Beauty (血芙蓉)

Qing Dynasty Emperor Yongzheng gained subjects'

support by pretending to rule the nation humanely

In fact he ruled the Hans with an iron hand

With a secret group of assassins- Flying Guillotines

killed the rebels. Literary inquisitions were common

For anyone who wrote anything bad about Imperial...

court, his whole family would be exterminated

Even lives of proofreaders, bookstore owners

were not spared

Come on...

Take out all the books

Burn them

Yes

Kneel down

Execute them here

Kill

Old man

Jin Shengtan's works slandered the Imperial Court

His entire family was decapitated

You're the proofreader, today it's your turn

Save the act

Take down his head

Yes

You aren't that old proofreader?

He's gone

I've been expecting you

Who are you?

I don't have a name

Nonsense... how could that be?

If you insist in knowing...

I'll tell you

Hibiscus flower

That's my name, The Bloody Hibiscus

What kind of name is that?

It's not that strange

The hibiscus plant is irrigated with blood droplets

And today I'll kill you

Please go back Bye...

Master

Your Majesty

Terrible murders took place often in the capital

Victims are all government officials

Terrible deaths, all by decapitation

According to witnesses...

The murderers are very nimble

Leaping over roofs and walking on walls

The weapon is the Flying Guillotine

It can cut off a man's head within 100 steps

Deadly accurate and master controlled

Obviously they've received strenuous training

And rumors are that

these assassins are actually

What? Go on

Sent from the Imperial Court

Nonsense. I rule the country benevolently

Why would I use such terroristic means?

I urge Your Majesty to investigate into this matter

Capture the real culprit in order to stop the rumors

Official Han

Yes, Your Majesty

Capture the murderer as soon as possible

We'll wrap up

Yes, Your Majesty

The Majesty leaves

Scholar Wan

I'll pay you a visit tonight to discuss the matter

Great. I'll be expecting you

The Majesty arrives

Good day, Your Majesty

Arise

Thank you, Your Majesty

Leave us

Yes

I've sent out Flying Guillotines to kill the traitors

Old Wan has found out about it

I denied it earlier

Looks like...

that Wan will look into it

Trịnh Cao Phong

Yes, Your Majesty

Tonight, send your best men...

to take down Scholar Wan's head

Make sure it's done

Of course, Your Majesty

Tea, master

Put it here

Men!

How dare you!

You dare to assassin a court official?

Arrest him

Who's behind this? Speak up

Go on

I'm afraid you can't perhaps handle the truth

You've got some nerve

You are forcing me to use more torture

Fine, I'll tell you...

who's behind this

Who?

The Emperor

Nonsense! How dare you say that?

Use more force

Yes

Han Tinh Du, if you won't let me go

You'll be in a lot of trouble

Trịnh Cao Phong, what have you done this time?

One of your men...

got captured by Han Tinh Du

I deserve death

If the man talks...

under tortures

Then it would ruin everything

I'll immediately kill that guard

Your Majesty's secret is safe

Not only the guard

You must kill Han Tinh Du's whole family...

to ensure the secrecy

Yes, Your Majesty

Trịnh Cao Phong, make sure it's done properly

Or you'll be dead

Yes Your Majesty

Tinh Du, still awake?

Are you worrying the prisoner won't confess?

That's not it

Then the rumor is true?

These few days I've been apprehensive with fear

I think it's a bad omen

Lý Liên

If anything happens to me

Take my mom to Quan Lạn

Go find my uncle Tống Biệt Hải

He'll take care of you

Got it

You are two months pregnant

No matter what

You must guard our child

Promise me

You're an honest official

You'll be blessed

Let's hope so

Tomorrow is Double 9th Festival. Something I must do

Sure, I'll send the maid over to accompany you

Stop here

We're here, madam

Go on

Lý Liên

Hoàng Phi, I didn't expect to see you here

I've been a wanderer for the past few years

I just got here yesterday

Today is the Tiết Cửu Trùng

I'm here to pay respects to our late master

Time flies

Our master has been dead for three years

So much has happened in these years

One can only sigh

Looks like you're still the same

Doing quite well

But you've changed a lot

During my travels...

I heard that you got married in a Han family

I was shocked and fell seriously ill

I thought that's the end of my life

But the heavens made fun of me

and I've been living miserably

Madam, it's ready

You can begin

Let's go pay our respects

Pack up

Take cover at the pavilion

When will the rain stop!

Old lady, it's your time

Are you raising a rebellion?

Trịnh Cao Phong, why are you doing this?

The Emperor's order... you must all die

Hurry, old Wang

Yes, madam

Tinh Du

Old lady

Tinh Du

Trịnh Cao Phong

Who are you?

Wife of Han Tinh Du

Lý Liên, you're two months pregnant

Promise me

You must guard our child

Trịnh Cao Phong

I sent you to execute Han Tinh Du's family

Is it done?

Your Majesty

I've killed everyone

of the Han household

Have you done a clean job?

Absolutely. No one left

Great, well done

I'll reward you for this

Thank you, Your Majesty

I've checked around
