The first 200 lines.
Miss Ho is probably dead.
Miss Ho is still alive.
My other nickname is "Hawkeye".
Unless I don't want to see something,
I never forget what I've seen.
The kidnapper made a pair of shoes with exceptionally thick soles.
The shoes and gown are both from the Splendid Silk Shop.
It's obvious who the kidnapper is.
Welcome back, Commander!
Good! I'll put my sorry life on the line!
Do you want me to feed you?
Grandma, my ears are itchy.
Must be from the dog hair.
Don't worry, just eat.
Anything is possible in this world.
Itchy ears mean someone is thinking of you.
Really?
Itchy eyes mean someone wants to see you.
What if my mouth is itchy?
Someone wants to kiss you.
What if my body is itchy?
That means you're dirty and need a bath.
Hurry up and eat!
Why is that dog barking?
What's wrong with you?
Oh my...
Don't go!
No...
You don't know who you're dealing with!
What was that?
That was scary!
Let us in...
Let us in!
We live there! This is outrageous!
Let us in...
The Phecda Bureau is working!
You're not allowed to go in!
The pit is 8 feet deep.
A lot of people saw the fireball fall from the sky.
It was so powerful that
it wiped out the ancestral hall.
Luckily there was no one inside,
or they would have been burnt to ashes.
Take the ashes from the pit back to the Bureau for tests.
Keep the ancestral hall sealed off,
and don't let word get out until we find the truth.
Yes, Sir!
Please wait.
Are these the scraps from the fireball?
Yes!
Be careful! Take them into the lab.
Yes, Officer Ma!
Master Fung!
I found this in the arsenal.
Come take a look, Pak-nin.
Zhanlu Sword?
It's as famous as Xuanyuan Sword.
Since the famous Jin general Zhou Chu died,
Zhanlu Sword has been missing ever since.
Zhanlu Sword has always been in the Bureau's arsenal.
You think it is related to the fireball?
Zhanlu Sword is invincible
because it's made of a precious iron.
Its colour is the same as that of the sacred stone.
It's the same as the stone needle mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.
It's exceptionally effective in clearing channel points.
Legend has it Zhanlu Sword and stone needles are made from a meteor.
I believe meteors do exist.
See? Even the Imperial Astronomer has mentioned it.
Last time a fireball crashed into the Xu's residence in Changzhou,
the whole place was destroyed and went up in flames,
just like this time at the ancestral hall.
It's likely the fireball is a meteor.
I can't believe I can bear witness to such a rare occasion.
It's marvellous!
Don't get too carried away!
We have yet to prove it's a meteor.
Let's not rule out other possibilities.
Yes!
Chuen-kung, you may be excited,
but His Majesty is definitely not,
because the hexagram symbol is Mars at Antares
Emperor of Qin and Emperor Chengdi of Han both died after a meteor fell.
I don't believe in the supernatural.
We must give His Majesty an explanation,
or he'll just be running scared.
Will you pull your weight?
I am doing that!
Quiet! Don't let the old codger hear us!
This is probably not a good idea.
We should tell Master Fung out of courtesy.
I agree.
Then why did you do it?
I'll bear full responsibility!
Master Fung! Sir!
Sir! Sir!
What are you doing?
Want to move in with your wife?
You plan to cook in here too?
Houses in the capital are expensive...
That's right!
We looked for days and couldn't find a place
I'm worried about her living on her own...
I'm just staying for the time being.
As soon as I find a place...
No! You must move!
Don't be so stingy, there's enough room.
Tao Fa can make us all soup.
That's right!
According to the regulations of the Bureau,
no Field Officers and Commanders are allowed to live with their spouses.
They can work more effectively then.
If everyone brings their spouses and start raising children in here,
what will become of the Bureau?
Put everything back in the cart.
Don't get upset! I'll move!
I've brought homemade pickled cabbage for you.
Does it smell good?
Yes!
Thanks for your help! I'll take these away...
Tao Fa! What?
It's alright! I'll help you find a place.
You can stay in an inn!
Leave the packing till later.
What?
You came all the way from Wuzhou,
we have yet to give you a welcome dinner.
Let's go out for dinner.
My treat!
You're too kind!
Great! We're all invited!
Leave the packing till later.
Great! Let's go!
Master Fung booked the whole restaurant?
We're lucky!
Master Fung!
You're much too kind!
You're not eating this for free.
What?
I heard you're a good cook!
I wanted you to rate the food for me.
I don't know what he's up to,
just humour him with some comments.
The skin is overcooked. Didn't blanch the meat.
There's the cutting board smell too.
The fried vegetable roll is too oily.
You must double fry it.
The smell already tells me there's too much vinegar in this sweet and sour ribs.
The tofu falls apart!
Should have boiled it in hot water first.
Too fishy! Should have used vinegar to get rid of the fishy taste.
This is the worst of the worst!
You certainly know your stuff.
I don't have to worry about you running this shop.
This is for me?
Master Fung told me to find you a shop.
He has already bought the title deed.
All we need is your signature.
I know this clown is your godson!
You should take it!
You're giving me the shop?
Tao Fa, you can continue to run your Peach Blossom Grove.
We don't deserve such a huge favour.
The money is spent. Don't turn this down.
I've spent decades with the Bureau and have no family.
Cheung-sing is like a son to me,
so I want him to have his own family.
Tao Fa, I don't want you at the Bureau,
because I don't want Cheung-sing to worry.
He can come home to you on his rest days.
Sorry, I didn't know your good intentions.
I even call you old codger behind your back.
No more of that from now on.
Our son will call him Grandpa!
Grandpa?
Great!
Mau, let's get married!
Who'd want to marry someone like you?
Hey...
Sir! What?
A toast to you! Alright!
Come on... Here...
Cheers! Cheers!
Cheers! Cheers!
Cheers! Cheers!
One more!
Excuse me...I have to go out...
What?
Are you alright? Sir?
This way...
He looks quite ill.
Chuen-kung, how is he?
Exactly!
You can see for yourself!
I promised I wouldn't say a word.
What's wrong with him? Tell us!
Stand back! I'm fine!
I know you're sick.
Chuen-kung told you?
The more he refuses, the worse it must be.
