The Silent Criminal (Battle of No Master / Shuang Yao Ji / 双夭记)

The Silent Criminal

Episode 10

Governor Sir!

The Command Division Leader of Daning has arrived.

Lower it.

Governor Zhao.

It's my honor

to meet you here.

I am the General of Commander of Da Ning, Chen Yizhuo

Sir,

This way, please.

I drank too much.

Why does the Governor look so familiar?

By grace of the Holy Emperor, the Commander of Da Ning

has been well-disciplined and accumulated

great achievements all these years.

It is the efforts of the entire army and

the willingness to ease the troubles

of the kingdom that helps us overcome the enemies.

Governor Zhao.

You've had a long journey here.

We have prepared a banquet

to relieve your fatigue.

Sir,

this way, please.

Sir, you don't look so good.

Is it because

the food doesn't suit your taste?

We are poor.

We hope that

you will understand, Sir.

I have news to report.

Continue.

Storm Town Officials has sent us ten bear paws,

twenty pheasants,

and there are six female artisans

to relieve the governor's fatigue.

How presumptuous!

How can you bring women into the military?

Soldiers!

Take him down.

Punishment of 80 strokes.

I have overstepped my boundaries.

Sir,

you decide.

Please spare my life.

There's no need.

Sir.

Governor Zhao,

your rank is higher than me,

you definitely understand the need for security better than I do.

I bet you have seen through

the entire farce.

From now on,

we will be in your service.

Here.

Here's a toast to you,

please accept my apology.

Hurry!

Here,

let me help you.

Then over here, both of you.

Here.

One, two, three.

Are these all sand?

Are you new here?

Official Chen has sold all the provisions.

Sold?

He's always like this,

but as long as he feeds us soldiers,

who cares?

Here.

Governor Zhao.

You...

Have you had enough?

Sir.

Slow down.

Tai Bai Sword.

Please spare our lives, Sir!

Tell them to step down.

Step down!

All of you!

What an amazing play for an army leader.

First you act as if you're poor but content,

free of worldly desires.

If I hadn't prepared a substitute,

I wouldn't have realized

what you were doing.

You kept it from me

is keeping from the Emperor.

This is your first offense.

You have disrespected the Governor.

Your second offense.

Your third offense is embezzling the provisions.

Let me think about it.

All offenses

will be enough

for a family execution.

Please, Sir!

Please spare my family.

I admit my guilt.

As a governor of the kingdom,

I answer

to the Emperor,

and I am responsible

for the people of the kingdom.

But it is hard for me to explain

your sins to the kingdom.

It will also be difficult to appease the Emperor.

If His Majesty is not pleased,

it'll be hard for me

to stay as an official.

So basically,

you will admit to your crimes,

and let the kingdom

find out

that Storm Town is in chaos.

The imperial court wants the Commander of Da Ning

to donate part of the army provisions

to help distressed citizens.

But you have already

sold most of the provisions away.

In conclusion,

you will die for embezzling provisions,

and I would also deserve death

for failing to fulfill my duties.

So what do you

think I should do?

I have a suggestion.

Please save me, Sir.

Reduce everyone's provisions

by half daily

until September.

When fresh provisions arrive,

the crisis will be averted.

Sir...

But...

morale might

be affected if the soldiers are not fed.

This has been a precaution

to abide by throughout the ages.

Please reconsider this, Sir.

Gosh.

It seems that Official Chen,

you are set on dying together with me.

In that case,

I wish prosperity

to all of your descendants.

Sir!

I will comply

with your suggestion.

You're a Centurion.

You've gone mad!

We are all Centurions!

What is a Centurion?

Tell me.

As long as you're the best of the best,

you are a Centurion.

Ten thousand people

coming together to kill each other,

and the last one standing

is called

Cen

tu

rion.

I am...

Jinyiwei Guard, Long Yao.

The matters of the imperial court,

and the matters of the people

are all my business.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Kill me.

I am a Centurion.

I am also a woman.

I don't like killing.

Can't I be cared for

and loved by someone too?

I don't want you to save me.

I want you to kill me.
