The Nokdu Flower (녹두꽃)

I told the servants not to enter the main house,

so you will be safe for now.

I am sorry...

for troubling you when you are mourning for the dead.

We will not stay for long.

You must refrain from going outside.

Your father...

might be keeping a watch on my house.

Did something happen? - He wants me to leave Gobu.

Your brother...

became the district magistrate.

Yi Hyun is the district magistrate of Gobu?

Yes.

He must be here to dig up his own grave.

Make way!

The new district magistrate is here!

Congratulations on your appointment.

Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Yi Hyun.

What a surprise.

Are you crying?

I did not want to cause a fuss about this.

I am sorry.

I am just so touched that I am able to stand up straight...

in front of a district magistrate.

Yi Hyun.

Please do not harm people anymore.

I want you to be a good district magistrate.

Okay?

Here is an update...

on the Gobu Government Office and the provincial officials.

Has anything changed compared to last year?

The number of residents has decreased due to the chaos.

By how many? - Almost by half.

Yoo Wol.

Yoo Wol, are you inside?

My goodness.

Lady Song. - Have you been well?

Yes.

The soil here is not very fertile.

So it will not taste as good as the ones in Jeolla Province.

But you should still give them a try.

Thank you.

But what brings you all the way here to Uiju?

I went to Hanyang to attend General Nokdu's trial.

And I figured I should drop by Uiju as well.

I need to meet some people regarding a new deal.

How did the trial go?

He was sentenced to death.

Then have you heard any news about Yi Kang by any chance?

I found it on Mount Daedun.

I hear it from time to time.

It seems like he is still busy traveling all over the place.

I see.

So I am also going to give it a try.

Give what a try?

The new deal I just told you about. Joining the loyal army.

To be exact, I will be supporting them with the necessary goods.

Would you be willing to be the middle person...

who delivers those goods in Uiju?

My goodness, Lady Song.

I am the mother of the detached force's boss.

Who is better fit for the job than the manager of the Jipgangso?

Thank you.

Master.

I would like to pour you a drink.

No, it is okay.

Please do not refuse.

Let me have the honor...

of pouring you just one drink to pay my respect.

Now that we have a powerful district magistrate,

Gobu is bound to have a bright future.

You think I have power?

You have the support of the Empire of Japan Legation.

Oni.

What...

are you all so happy about?

What are you all so happy about?

What is he saying? - What is the matter with him?

You should be furious about the fact that a Japanese informant is here!

What is wrong with you people?

Is there absolutely...

no one left in Gobu who has a sane mind?

Is there nobody?

Yi Hyun.

What is wrong with you?

Oh, right.

I forgot that this place is still Joseon.

I was mistaken for a moment.

Okay, then.

I want everyone to happily raise their glasses.

Come on, everybody.

To the Emperor of Japan!

Hurray!

Hurray!

Hurray!

Everyone is gone now.

I thought you were an ogre.

Are you still human?

How will you become a State Councilor like this?

Is a human unable to become a State Councilor?

Yi Hyun.

In order to rise to the top,

you need to step on others.

You have to constantly step on things to go up...

whether that may be a stairway or a human being.

Do I also need to step on you if that is necessary?

Please leave.

Do not be bothered...

by the things you have done in the past.

People's memories...

always fade away with time.

Go to Jeonju and meet a matchmaker there.

Okay, Master...

Master Baek.

Why does he want you to meet a matchmaker?

It is obvious.

He wants Yi Hyun to get married.

He asked me to pick women from distinguished families.

Yi Hwa. - Yes?

What do you think about setting Yi Hyun up with Myung Sim again?

I think she will be the only person who is capable...

of keeping his feet on the ground.

That is a good idea...

now that Lord Hwang is no longer around.

Father already put that to an end.

Put what to an end? - He told Myung Sim...

to leave Gobu. He gave her an ultimatum.

My goodness.

That useless man!

Mother, Father will become furious if he finds out.

He is no better than an animal. There is not much he can do anyway.

My goodness, Myung Sim must feel so nervous living all by herself.

My goodness.

Why is the front gate closed?

She is mourning for her brother in the main house.

Let us use the side gate.

What are you planning to do, Lady Hwang?

Are you going to leave Gobu?

I have no reason to stay in Gobu.

However,

this is where my brother lived his entire life.

So I am going to stay here until his funeral is over.

I am sure you will be able to do that.

That was Yi Kang, right?

Yes.

He was alive.

My goodness gracious.

Yi Hwa, you had better not tell this to anyone.

Okay?

Okay.

Beo Dul, do you feel better?

Do you not know me?

This kind of injury is nothing to me.

My goodness, you say it is nothing.

But you keep losing consciousness.

That is...

because I want you to worry about me.

My goodness.

Okay, fine. I will keep worrying, so hurry up and get better.

We need to catch the ogre.

Even if you hate him, he is still your brother.

So do not think of getting involved.

Monk Hae and I...

will catch him ourselves.

I understand what you mean.

But I am the boss, so I should take the lead.

My goodness, okay.

I get it.

Just hurry up and recover.

Boss.

Let me talk to you in private.

This is not her first time getting injured.

But she is having a hard time recovering.

I wonder if it is because she is not getting enough to eat.

I think...

we need to get ready to say goodbye to Beo Dul.

What are you talking about?

The poison...

has spread all over her body.

That is nonsense.

That cannot be.

Then... Then I will go outside and bring a doctor.

Monk Hae.

She probably...

knows about her condition better than we do.

Why is he...

causing such a fuss?

Boss, Monk Hae.

Thank you for everything.

There is no way I can make a full recovery.

While I still have some energy,

I will do what I must.

What is happening? - Save me!

What is going on?

My goodness.

The ogre.

I will take him with me.
