【Multi | FULL】EP10 Dugu Xiashu is sleepwalking | 唐朝诡事录之西行 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available] [Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II: To the West] [Episode 10] The antiques in the Treasure Pavilion are all authentic. I, Dong Haogu, only speak the truth. Can I leave now? Come. Drag Dong Haogu out. Flog him 20 times. Yes. Wait. Why are you flogging me? I’m a legitimate businessman. I never break the law. You just admitted that in order to get the Dugu Xin Multifaceted Seal, you once bought it from tomb robbers. How many ancient tombs must have been robbed like this? The arrested tomb robber Lu Da has confessed that he has traded with you many times. If not for you profiteers buying antiques at a high price, how can Shiyang have so many tomb raids? I… How dare you say you never break the law? Magistrate Dugu, drag him out and flog him. Yes. Someone lied. Mr. Su, I’m all ears. Dugu Yang left the government office last night near 9 p.m. Niu Daming claimed He went to the burial goods store around 9:45 p.m. [Lingdu Burial Goods Store] He left after a short while. But Uncle Zhong said he saw Niu Daming leave in panic at the end of 12 a.m. and found that Dugu Yang was dead. Dong Haogu departed at 9:45 p.m. and should’ve arrived at the burial goods store between 10 and 10:15 p.m. to make a deal with Dugu Yang. He should’ve returned at 1 a.m. He also entered the burial goods store and ignited the fire starter, but Uncle Zhong said he didn’t see him. If no one lied, it would be strange. Yes. Isn’t 1 a.m. and the end of 12 a.m. the same time? Also, the Chunshan who claimed he was sleeping in the store and was awakened by lightning also gave a suspicious testimony. Lu Er, the younger brother of tomb robber Lu Da, and the brother of Qingniao, Lou Qingtai, are still missing. This… Mr. Su, there are so many mysteries. I’m really a little obsessed with investigating cases. Everything is unknown. This is really exciting. This is not what I want. I wish for peace. I misspoke. I’ve also said those words before, but what I said just now was what my teacher Detective Di said. I’ll keep that in mind. Mr. Su, what should we do now? Go to the Lingdu Burial Goods Store. The murder happened at night, so the best time to investigate the crime scene is also at night. Wait. Let me do it. He’s the one who lied? Who? Watch out! Gentlemen, I am former Right General of the Imperial Guards, Lu Lingfeng. Nice to meet you. I don’t know why you came here for murder. It has nothing to do with you. General Lu, please stay out of this. I must take care of this man. Even if Su Wuming wants to die, I must do it myself. Will you move or not? I won’t. Stop chasing. Yingtao, Lu Lingfeng is sure to win as one against three. Why did you get involved? Lu Lingfeng. Long time no see. How have you been? Why are you in Shiyang too? What? Did you get demoted? Where’d you get demoted to? What position? Yingtao, have you been doing well? Good. But… General Lu, you’re in Shiyang too? Dugu Xiashu? It’s me. I am now a magistrate in Shiyang. Step aside! Assassin, halt! Su Wuming! Mr. Su. What happened? Brother! Brother! Brother, Yingtao! On a stormy night, the road is long and difficult. The rope on the wheel was broken. However… In Shiyang, is there anyone surnamed Yuan, Yuwen, or Dugu? The coroner of Shiyang is surnamed Dugu. We can search for him. [Book of Life and Death] What’s happening to Mr. Su? What’s happening? He’s having a nightmare. When people are about to die, they’re generally like this. Here. This assassin is really despicable. He’s so cruel with the poisoning. If I’d saved him any later, he… he would’ve died. Magistrate Dugu. Magistrate Dugu. You were also attacked by a hidden weapon. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Luckily, it’s just a scratch. That’s not okay. You… You, go squeeze out his blood until the blood is red. Go. Here. Be careful. Chicken Fed has treated Brother and Yingtao. He said if they can survive past noon tomorrow, they should live. Go get some sleep. Don’t worry about me. Go accompany Yingtao. Lu Tong is known as a gentleman, but he did such a thing. Don’t say that about Mr. Lu. You said it. Those three assassins are definitely not from the Jianghu. Their crossbows and swords belong to the Imperial Guards. When we left Chang’an, Lu Tong said he was going to kill my sworn brother. If he didn’t send the assassin, then who? The three people who fought with me were indeed Imperial Guards. But that vicious hidden weapon was not used by them. Were there two groups of assassins? That’s right. The soldiers of Tang are upright and honest, especially the Imperial Guards. They’ll never use poisoned arrows. Two groups of assassins. Who is trying to kill my sworn brother? This government office is really barren. I searched the kitchen for a long time before finding everything. Here. I made you a bowl of soup noodles. Eat it while it’s hot. Soup noodles? There is no such food in Nanzhou. Qinghong, shouldn’t you make wontons? You called me by the wrong name again. My name is Chuntiao. You don’t have a mole. You are Qinghong. Anyway, I’m your wife. You can call me anything. Here. Let me feed you. She is my wife. She is my Qinghong. Qinghong. Qinghong! [Dugu] Qinghong. Don’t be afraid. It’s me. You cried when I cried yesterday. I thought you were a kind person. I didn’t expect you to be a beast inside. Why are you scolding me? Are you crazy? Why are you in my house so early in the morning? You’re wrong. I returned home. Didn’t you make me a bowl of soup noodles just now? It was so good. Where did I put it? Why are you shouting? Is there a thief? No, Mother. I… I had a dream. My son came into your dream. He’s still thinking about you. My son is really benevolent. The coroner’s family doesn’t close its doors at night. No thief dares to come either, but yesterday, the thief Chunshan committed robbery during the day. The county magistrate arrested him on the spot. I forgot to tell you. Got it, Mother. Magistrate? Who is it? It’s you. Me? I’m a magistrate? That was all a dream. I don’t dare to believe it. Honey. You’re truly crazy. Leave now. Jump out of the window. If my mother sees you, I won’t be able to explain it. Jump out of the window? A scholar can’t do that. You don’t know how? Learn from me. Where are you going? Mother. Were you scared by my son in your dream? Don’t be afraid. It’s still early. Go back to sleep. Yes. Mother, what are you doing? It’s getting cold. I found some thick firewood and some blankets. I will nail your room’s window shut. When winter comes, it’ll be warm. Leave now. Why don’t you explain it to my mother? Chuntiao, let me ask you. My son has passed away. Have you ever thought of remarrying? You’re not answering. You must want to remarry. No, Mother. I… I mean I will follow the custom and only leave this family. when I can remarry. Why do you want to remarry? Do I treat you badly? No. Mother, come here. There’s a thief! Thief? It’s the magistrate? I’m the magistrate? Did he do anything to you? No. Leave. My son just died and you came to his wife’s bedroom. It won’t be good if others find out. Brother? Dugu Yang? Don’t blame him. Look at him. He’s here, but his soul is not. This is Shiyang. This… This is my brother Dugu Yang’s home. Yes. You are my sister-in-law. Your name is Chuntiao. What have I done? What have I done? It’s not Qinghong. Qinghong died. She died in Nanzhou. You’re awake? Are you feeling better? Physician Fei, I had a dream again. It wasn’t just a dream. You were sleepwalking. Sleepwalking? It’s all my fault. I didn’t realize you were injured sooner. The poison used by the assassin can cause hallucinations. But it’s okay now. I drugged you again. You shouldn’t sleepwalk anymore. It’s all thanks to Coroner Dugu’s wife. She carried you back. Who? The wife of Coroner Dugu. Xijun also met her. She said she looked like Qinghong, your deceased wife. Yes. They’re too similar. [Shiyang County Office] General Lu. I heard you’re leaving. Let’s talk outside. I searched Shiyang County this morning, but I didn’t find where the assassins are hiding. We’re in the light. They are in the shadows. We can only publish a notice. You want the people in the city to report suspsicious people, right? I’ll draft it now. Wait. Tell them the mysterious assassin attacked Shiyang at night and killed Mr. Su and another from Chang’an. Ask the people of Shiyang County to provide clues and help the government office arrest the assassin. Killed? But Mr. Su… For him to live, this is the only way. General Lu, you mean the assassin was after Mr. Su. Shiyang is an ancient county. People should be simple and live in peace. If Su Wuming hadn’t come to see you, the new county magistrate, for free food, how could this have happened? Make him leave after he wakes up. Don’t implicate the people of Shiyang. I shall leave as well. Why do you say so, General Lu? Mr. Su was just passing by. There was a strange murder in our county and the position of sheriff has been vacant. I’m the new magistrate and new at this field. I know nothing. That’s why he stayed to teach me how to investigate cases. He was busy all day and didn’t even have a decent meal. How could you say he’s here for free food? A strange murder? Has it been solved? No. When we were attacked last night, Mr. Su was taking me to investigate the crime scene. What kind of strange murder case can Shiyang have? [Lingdu Burial Goods Store] You wrote this down? Is there anything missing from what Su Wuming said? I don’t think so. I wrote down everything Mr. Su said. General Lu, you… Niu Daming, Dong Haogu, and Chunshan’s testimonies all have suspicious points. How can it be concluded hastily? Mr. Su did say one of them lied. How can we not investigate it? Where is Chunshan detained? Take me there. Lu Lingfeng. Aren’t you leaving? Why do you want to see prisoners now? I wanted to leave because I didn’t want to see Su Wuming. I’m not leaving because there’s an unsolved murder case in Shiyang County. Magistrate Dugu is an old friend of Nanzhou. I can’t let him suffer. He’s in a hurry to solve the case for you. You don’t think he’s being nosy, right? General Lu is helping me. That’s great. I was thinking to stay for a few more days. I have to see Su Wuming and Yingtao recover. But my stomach is growling. You’re the county magistrate. Can you ask someone to get me two chickens? Please forgive me Please forgive me. -It’s you.
-It’s you. No wonder the name sounded familiar. Turns out you are that upright and proud fellow. Why are you here? They got the wrong person. You’re an official from the capital. Tell them to let me go. When he was searched, you only found gambling tools but not ten taels of silver ingots? Correct. Chunshan, did you steal the silver ingots in Qingchuan Town? No. Then why don’t you dare to carry it with you? Where did you hide it? I didn’t hide it. I… I just went to the gambling house. You lost? I’m afraid I won’t be able to ever improve my bad luck. I thought you were from a rich family. I didn’t know until I arrived in Shiyang that you’re idle and unemployed. Even officials in the capital might not have those silver ingots. Where did you get them from? Tell us the truth. Yang gave them to me. Gave them to you? You sneaked into the burial goods store at night, stole the silver ingots, and was discovered by Dugu Yang. Out of desperation, you killed him. I… I didn’t. He is cunning. He should have been tortured yesterday. Guards! Yes. Torture him until he confesses. Yes. No, no, no. I didn’t kill Dugu Yang. It was Dugu Yang who killed someone. Nonsense. I’m going to torture you. No. I dare not. I’ll tell you everything this time. Really. He deals with these things every day. They scared me silly. Your gambling addiction flared when you saw money. Not exactly. I heard some noise in the backyard. I was afraid someone would see me and say I was a thief, so I could only go to the gambling house to try my luck. It kept thundering at the time. It started raining shortly after I left the burial goods store. Big. Place your bets. Place your bets. Big. Small. Big. Small. Go away. Place your bets. Go away. Go away. Small. Small. Why are you here again? Do you have money? Of course. Use my gambling tools again. After you lost all your money, did you return to the burial goods store? Yes. I planned to convince Dugu Yang to sell the seal and split the money with me. Shameless bastard. Were you planning on returning to the gambling house with the money? I… When was that? Around 9 p.m. Who is it? An old friend. Old friend? It was raining heavily and Dugu Yang still got a guest. I had to wait a little longer. But the more I waited, the more wrong things felt. Listen, coroner. If you don’t want to die, two conditions. One, don’t make these clay figurines [Tomb Robber Lu Er] with hidden weapons anymore. Two, draw a diagram of the killer clay figurine. I’ll pick it up tomorrow night. Why? This is the skill I use to feed myself. You have no right to stop me from doing this. And you want the diagram? You’re a tomb robber, right? Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to the officers? Stubborn. I’ll kill you today. Yang, let’s capture him together and send him to the government office. We can earn 1,000 taels. It’s a rule set by the new county magistrate You want to die? Yang, save me! Yang, he’s dead. He’s dead. If he’s dead, can he still be exchanged for 1,000 taels? He’s dead. Who can prove that he’s a tomb robber? Yang, you killed him, not me. I mean… What should we do now? Don’t tell anyone about this. Well… I can’t control my mouth. You— Unless you give me some money for me to leave this place. You’re blackmailing me? I did it to save your life. I have no choice. I only have one sister and she married you. I’m too poor to survive now. Yang, I heard you have a seal. Why don’t you give it to me? Bastard! What are you doing? You want to kill me? Where is the seal? There is no treasure seal at all. Take ten taels of silver and leave Shiyang County. Never come back. Then… Do you have more? Greedy people deserve to die. Actually, ten taels was not a small amount. I’d never seen so much money in my life. But in Qingchuan Town, I saw Guo could get so many treasures with a fake seal. I must be able to get a fortune with the real seal. Then I thought carefully. The real treasure seal must be in Dugu Yang’s hands. Otherwise, Dong Haogu wouldn’t have begged me. Dugu Yang had the seal, but he made my sister suffer. As his brother-in-law, I hadn’t gained anything either. Now he wanted to use ten taels of silver for me to cover up for his murder? No way! So I went back to Shiyang. I didn’t expect he was already dead. Where is the body of the victim? I don’t know. Dugu Yang told me to leave it alone. General Lu. Are you confident the body can be found in the store? Great. You and Mr. Su think alike. What? We’ll find something by investigating the scene tonight. If things are as expected, another body should be hidden in the store. Dugu Xiashu, are you going to keep flattering Su Wuming? He didn’t find out that Dugu Yang killed someone. How could he think of finding the body? I was curious too, so I asked. Body? Whose body are you talking about? I’m not sure yet. But this case is complicated. I’m afraid Dugu Yang wasn’t the only one who died at the burial goods store last night. Did Su Wuming tell you where to find the body? No. Remember. Murderers usually hide the body by using their specialty. General Lu, you mean… No need to write it down yet. We’ll talk about it when we find it. Let’s go. In the clay figurine. The body is in the clay figurine. What are you mumbling about? Are you still investigating in your dream? The body is in the clay figurine. In the clay figurine. Xijun. Let’s go. Let me take you for a walk. Where are we going? To investigate the case with Lu Lingfeng. Can’t you see? Lu from Fanyang is competing this time. He wants to solve this clay figurine murder case before Su Wuming wakes up. Do you think we should go help or to make trouble? But Yingtao… Don’t worry. She knows martial arts. Her body is fit. She’s much better than that scholar. She will wake up first. But it won’t be that soon. Let’s go. [Lingdu Burial Goods Store] Mr. Su said these clay figurines are used against tomb robbers. They contain hidden weapons. Be careful, General Lu. Step back. Magistrate. Remove it and break it open. Have Chunshan identify him. This… This isn’t the man that Dugu Yang killed. Lou Qingtai? General Lu, it’s Lou Qingtai, the son of the executioner, Lou Lide. You all, look. It’s Lou Qingtai. It really is Lou Qingtai. There really was a body in the clay figurine. What do you mean? Su Wuming was talking in his sleep. He said… Clay figurine, body. Clay figurine, body. As expected, the body was hidden in the half-finished clay figurine. Bring the body out. Could it be that Lou Qingtai came to seek revenge but was killed by Dugu Yang instead? Don’t make such an assumption. Where is the female coroner Cao Hui who examined Dugu Yang? Can you invite her over? Okay, I’ll arrange it. Can I borrow your sword? Stay away for now. Let’s go. Let’s go. General Lu, you’re so skilled. How did he know? Remove it and break it open. Yes. It was him. I didn’t kill him. It was Dugu Yang. Bring the tomb robber Lu Da to identify the body. Yes. Get out of the way! Move! I, Cao Hui, the female coroner of Tang’s Shiyang County, am here to examine the body. Unrelated people, step back. Please. General Lu, this old woman has gone crazy for years. The last postmortem was for her son. It was a lucky break. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for her to be the coroner now. Assistant Xu. My mother sometimes isn’t clear-headed, but she’s never uncertain with her postmortems. Ignore him. Postmortems require focus. Don’t listen to the gossip. Yes. Chuntiao, my son is not here. Record in his place. Yes. You can write? I’m not good at writing. It’s rare to know how to write. Don’t talk to each other. Record it carefully. Yes.
