Joy of Life (庆余年)

It's small and can be placed here.

Put it inside. Hurry.

Go and bring Da Bao here from my father.

Leave a space for Da Bao.

Stop!

You can't touch this.

Da Bao is inside this.

Da Bao, don't be afraid. He is not a bad person.

I know.

Da Bao eats a lot of good food.

Its stomach is so big that it's going to explode.

It eats a lot. - Qi Nian.

Lord Fan, let me do it.

No!

You can't touch this as well.

Do you know what's inside this?

I'm telling you. These are the hawthorns my father gave me.

They are delicious.

Your father gave them to you as a snack.

What's wrong with you?

I told you.

You can't take this.

Give it to me. Da Bao, don't be afraid.

It's fine. - He's not a bad person.

Da Bao is full.

My father gave it to me.

The hawthorns my father gave me.

Yes. It's your snack.

Yes.

I've told you.

Don't touch it.

This is Da Bao's Da Bao.

All right.

I understand.

Help me place it.

Place it...

Young Master, don't tire yourself.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, Da Bao.

Father is an exception!

Father is an exception!

Father is an exception!

Father is an exception!

Father is an exception!

Da Bao!

Father is an exception!

Shi Chan Li.

Shi Chan Li!

Shi Chan Li!

Shi Chan Li.

Lord Fan.

The accident report said

the fire was an accident

due to the hot weather and flammable materials.

That's not right, Lord Fan.

A natural fire disaster

must have a source.

Even if the wind was strong and the fire was blazing,

it wouldn't burn the whole town.

Even if the whole town was burned down,

the people

would not be all dead.

Even I know that.

It was impossible for the person

who wrote to not know that.

A whole town full of people

and a sudden fire.

This is what's left.

When I rushed there,

the whole town was burnt.

No one was left alive.

Cheng Ze was too cruel.

Now that the town is burnt,

the clues of the smuggling stop there.

But the most important thing is all the lives lost!

There needs to be an explanation

for the burnt town.

An accidental fire.

That's all?

I dare ask.

Was the one who set fire

a powerful figure?

No one knows

who set the fire.

However, the conclusion is right.

The person

must be a powerful figure.

Then...

Can the case still be investigated?

Do you know?

Another murder case

was sent to me today.

However,

the case was gone just now.

What do you mean that it's gone?

The one who made the report has escaped.

Shi Chan Li.

In this time and age,

if a victim is unwilling to track down the murderer,

it is difficult to file a case.

Lord Fan,

I want to find the true culprit.

Will you escape?

I've lost my home, Lord Fan!

Where can I escape to?

Good.

I accept your case.

Not only that. I'll also accept you.

From now on, you are my retainer.

I can't guarantee to give you a result immediately

but I promise you

that I'll keep investigating it.

I, Shi Chan Li, am willing to give my life to serve you!

Seniors.

I am He Zong Wei.

Thanks to His Majesty's promotion,

I have become a censor from today onward.

Please give me lots of support.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

It's nothing much. Please accept it.

Please give me lots of support.

Please give me lots of support.

Senior.

Please give me lots of support.

Are you giving gifts?

No.

I know

that censors like us are responsible

for eliminating corruption and ensuring the officials do their duty.

Giving gifts is taboo since it's bribing.

We mustn't do that.

However,

there's no need to worry.

I bought these snacks on my way.

They are the cheapest ones.

It's purely

to show my sincerity.

Please give it to everyone.

Senior,

was this Lai Ming Cheng's seat when he was alive?

Senior, do you have a firestriker?

Please light it.

What are you doing?

To be honest,

Lai Ming Cheng

was my benefactor.

Although we never met,

he was like

a teacher and a friend to me.

Censor Lai's death

hurts me and makes me sad.

After seeing Senior Lai's seat when he was alive,

I had to pay my respects no matter what.

What are you doing? - You shouldn't do this in the Censorate.

Don't do this. - Get up quickly.

Censor He, please stand up.

Yes. - I got too emotional.

Oh, right.

I've been a commoner for a long time.

I only know about Censor Lai's death but I don't know the cause.

Was he harmed by a despicable person?

You don't know?

Censor Lai was executed

because he started complaining about Fan Xian.

This man was also the one who supervised Censor Lai's punishment.

It's him?

I even visited this evil man before this.

You didn't know. It's not your fault.

In the future, just meet him less.

No.

How can we concede in front of an evil person like him?

I'll go to the Fan Residence and argue with him now!

Excuse me.

Do you have a knife?

I don't. - Can you help lend me one?

I just came here. I'm not familiar with this place.

Lend it to me.

Thank you.

What did you tell him?

I'm here to ask you to punish me.

Lord Fan, please punish me.

He Zong Wei,

you are a censor after all.

Can you simply kneel as an official?

Lord Fan, please spare me.

When did I say I wanted to kill you?

Lord Fan.

When I sent the Spring Imperial Examination murder case to your residence,

I had offended you, Lord Fan.

Lord Fan,

I'm sure you know me well.

Indeed.

Lord Fan,

your talent and knowledge

is impeccable.

You hold many positions in the imperial court

and are powerful.

When it comes to relationships,

you are my godfather.
