Trailer EP25-29: Li Sande returns to the court but encounters obstacles everywhere | The Litchi Road
A round fan of pink silk embroidery. Clearly something a woman would use. Could it be that someone has caught your eye at the book bureau? Who set the fire here? Attendant Yu. He’s the Litchi Envoy. Is your assignment finally going somewhere? I wrote out
a method for litchi transport. It’s all here in detail. Attendant Yu. Attendant Yu is a newly risen eunuch in the inner court. He’s cunning, devious, and loves to steal credit. He took that letter to study it. We even agreed to meet tomorrow at Leyou Garden. And you actually believed him? He’s definitely not showing up tomorrow. Mr. Li, what are you doing here? Waiting for someone. They’re closing
the garden for pest control. No one’s coming. Exactly. The letter is in my hands anyway. The fish is mine for the taking. Lately, I went to Konglang Bookstore
to buy some intel. And I ran into Ma Guiyun there. He was there buying intel too? It’s not that simple. I’ve got a hunch. He’s not really the envoy sent by the Right Chancellor. I played a bit of a game
with Zhao Xinmin. That should be enough
to fool him for now. But your cover’s blown for sure. Right before Tu died, he said he had proof that He Youguang bought kerosene. Right now, if we can get our hands on that evidence soon, we won’t need to bother with all this mess. I’ve invited you all here today to let everyone get to know each other. That way, we can look out
for one another in the court after this. Second. I’ve got a small favour to ask. Now I see it. You’re not going to get an approval. So you’d better hurry back
and raise some money. If you still can’t pay it off, don’t blame me for going hard on you. Do you know why the Right Chancellor built his mansion in Pingkang Ward? No idea. Because underneath Pingkang Ward lies the most valuable thing of all. What is it? A secret. The approval? Well, I’ve got the approval now. I can start transporting, right? Mr. Li, don’t be in such a rush. If you want to transport litchis, you’ll need to meet one more person. Who dares block our way? I, Supervisor of the Shanglin Office, Litchi Envoy Li Shande, greet the Right Chancellor. This is bad! He really met the Right Chancellor! You’ve got some nerve, Li Shande! How dare you cause such a ruckus
at the Shanglin Office? You even forced my colleague
to harm himself and kneel. Get out of my sight. Don’t go offending
the Minister of the Agriculture. Who’s planning to offend me? Sir, your presence here… Silence! Envoy Li is right here, and you didn’t even inform me? Well, was I being a bit loud? Today… I actually came across something quite amusing. That Li Shande from the Shanglin Office blocked my path right there in the street. Could it be he was following an order from someone clever? Whoever manages to open up a trade route from Lingnan to Chang’an will be raking in a fortune. Attendant Yu. Is that what you saw? If this transport plan actually works, we’ll definitely support it. But there’s a big problem with Li Shande’s proposal. It’s far too stingy. I think… we should double the budget. Is that Inspector Yu? Inspector Yu. In the next couple of days, if anyone
from the Inspector’s Office shows up, no matter what they bring, don’t accept it. Understood. We won’t bother with petty bribes. We’re waiting for the big fish. This time, I’m not fishing anymore. I’m going to swallow him whole. Attendant Yu. The one I recommended, he’s really helping me out. With his support, I’m that much closer to success. Right? You’re closer to success. But I’m closer to death!
