Episode 4: Yang Caiwei gets Pan Yue drunk

Shangguan Lan returned to Beijing early in the morning, leaving Yang Caiwei a large sum of money and a maid hired overnight. These good things made Yang Caiwei feel guilty. How should she explain the truth to Shangguan Lan in the future?

Shangguan Lan gave up her house and moved to the county government office. She said in front of Pan Yue that she would sleep on the street. Pan Yue agreed, but he was thinking of forcing her to leave. Pan Yue, who will take office tomorrow, went to the county government office today. The yamen runners who were gambling were shocked to see this.

One of them was the one who beat Yang Caiwei. He told Pan Yue that there was a government guard in Heyang. The case was not important at all. The truth was what was beneficial to the four major families. Pan Yue ignored his words, but asked someone to take him away to set an example.

Yang Caiwei was watching a show, but was sent by Pan Yue to beat someone. Yang Caiwei carried the board and beat the board with all her strength. Pan Yue killed the chicken to scare the monkey, and asked Yang Caiwei to come to him tomorrow.

Ling’er helped Yang Caiwei decorate her bedroom, and next to her was Pan Yue’s room. She thought Pan Yue had taken the bait. In order to attract Pan Yue’s attention, Ling’er helped Yang Caiwei find a set of patched clothes.

Pan Yue asked her about what happened during his wedding, and Yang Caiwei made up a few stories. Pan Yue asked her to assist the chief clerk and not to leave his side without permission. Yang Caiwei followed Pan Yue and felt like she was being monitored.

Yang Caiwei followed Pan Yue on an inspection tour, when suddenly a woman stopped a carriage in the street and insulted Pan Yue, a dog official, in public. Later, a man in gorgeous clothes came to apologize, but the woman did not stop and continued to curse.

Yang Caiwei and Pan Yue saw the wound under the woman’s sleeve and realized that she did it on purpose to ask for help, so Yang Caiwei asked Pan Yue to punish her severely. Pan Yue did not help, but guided Sun Wancai to take full responsibility for his wife’s words and deeds.

When the woman spoke wildly again, Yang Caiwei recited the laws and regulations, and Sun Wancai took the blame for his wife. Someone next to him reminded Pan Yue that this was a member of the four major families, but Pan Yue still arrested him. This behavior was praised by the people.

When Pan Yue first arrived in Heyang, many people gave him gifts, and then Pan Yue hosted a banquet for many friends. Yang Caiwei was anxious to investigate Pan Yue’s crimes and went to the archives to find the files on Shangguan Zhi’s death, but was told that Pan Yue had taken the files away that day.

Yang Caiwei went to Pan Yue’s room again, thinking that she was hiding well, but in fact, he had already discovered her.

Gu Yong, the head of Jishan Hall, Cai Sheng, the head of Shengsifang, and Qingdi, the head of Baihua Palace, discussed important matters together, but the people from Yinyu Tower were missing. Sun Wancai was arrested, and they decided to teach their friend a lesson.

In order to get the key, Yang Caiwei went out alone, and when he found out that he was followed by Pan Yue’s men, he hid himself and let someone entangle him to get away. Yang Caiwei asked Bai Xiaosheng to help her get a jar of strong wine.

Bai Xiaosheng also brought a piece of news. She had heard about Lao Jiangtou. Back at the county government, Yang Caiwei found that people from the four major families came to give gifts to their friends. She overheard, but heard Pan Yue asking for a price to let Sun Wancai go.

Yang Caiwei hosted a banquet for the county government officials, asking them to get closer to Pan Yue. Ling’er took the opportunity to force Aze to drink a glass of wine. After three rounds of drinking, everyone fell asleep.

Yang Caiwei secretly got up to send Pan Yue back to his room, and took the opportunity to get the key from him. After opening Pan Yue’s box, Yang Caiwei found a portrait of herself and Old Jiangtou inside, as well as the case file, which said that there were water stains next to the body, and no one knew where they came from.

After Yang Caiwei left, Pan Yue, who pretended to be drunk, woke up. It was very strange why there were water stains next to the body. The next day, Pan Yue asked Yang Caiwei out and talked about her sending him back to his room last night.

Yang Caiwei didn’t understand where he was taking her. Pan Yue said that he had found the robber who had injured her a month ago and asked her to identify him. Yang Caiwei’s statement was that she encountered a robber on the road when she drove out that day, but now it doesn’t make sense in the face of all the evidence.
