. Quickly extinguish the fire!
. Who is he? Who is he? Who exactly is he?
Who was it!
It's him.
That Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.
Who is it? Quickly tell me!
Let go! Let go!
-Wake up. - Let go!
- So I! - So I!
Let go!
Wake up! Wake up!
Let go!
It's because of you!
If you read it wrong, it's because of you.
Because of you, everyone will die.
Is it that dream again?
That, why did you make another and put it by your side?
It's no wonder you can't get a good night's sleep.
But, why did you go to the Jujaso?
Did you go there because you knew Scholar Yun Pil was there?
It looks like you didn't know.
In the Jujaso, Scholar Yun Pil's corpse was found.
Didn't I say no?
She isn't completely well yet.
Even if there are no scars on her body,
she can probably speak.
She can't talk.
How unwell is she, to not be able to speak?
It's not because it hurts,
it's because she can't talk to begin with.
So, please return.
Aigoo, just from listening to your voice,
one would think you were Her Majesty the Queen.
Then, let me confirm it for a moment.
Really!
Hey! You go and call out So I.
What exactly is she doing every night, stirring up the peace?
So frivolous.
Frivolous?
-=Sejong: Lee Do=-
-= Jeong In Ji: Chief Scholar (2nd Senior Rank) =-
Your Majesty, because of last night's matter, the side palace...
I'm afraid, once more...
Your Majesty.
If I may be so bold, you must go to the side palace.
I should go... I should go.
His Majesty.
Your Majesty, last night an accident happened...
. Last night two problems of the palace were revealed.
-=Lee Sin Jeok: Right Chancellor Senior 1st Rank=- Last night two problems of the palace were revealed.
-=Lee Sin Jeok: Right Chancellor Senior 1st Rank=- . .
The Jujaso caught fire, preparations weren't properly made.
-=Jo Mal Saeng: Councillor Senior 1st Rank=- The Jujaso caught fire, preparations weren't properly made.
-=Jo Mal Saeng: Councillor Senior 1st Rank=- . .
-=Jo Mal Saeng: Councillor Senior 1st Rank=- It took a while to control the fire.
It took a while to control the fire.
Chancellor Office.
-=Hwang Hui: Head Chancellor.=- Chancellor Office.
-=Hwang Hui: Head Chancellor.=- .
-=Hwang Hui: Head Chancellor=- Yes, Your Majesty.
Are there any problems investigating the Geum Hwa Do Gam's schedule.
-=Geum Hwa Do Gam: Joseon's fire control department=- Are there any problems investigating the Geum Hwa Do Gam's schedule.
-=Geum Hwa Do Gam: Joseon's fire control department=- . Increase the number of members.
-=Geum Hwa Do Gam: Joseon's fire control department=- I will obey Your Majesty's decree. .
. I will obey Your Majesty's decree.
Another thing, it appears there was an intruder in the palace.
This is something that can't be allowed to happen.
I will certainly question those responsible.
Right Chancellor.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You tell the Chief Royal Guard, to be prepared to take full responsibility,
and come and report to me.
Yes.
But... Your Majesty.
This matter can't be given to the Royal Guards.
A Jiphyeonjeon scholar suffered a mishap inside the palace grounds.
Now you should get the Royal Investigation Bureau to deal with this matter...
That's exactly it.
The matter that we should be discussing now
is Yun Pil's death.
Jujaso.
That kind of thing, rebuild it and it will be fine.
Intruder.
Just as you said, we can catch him
and make sure we never allow this sort of thing to happen again.
But Yun Pil can't be restored.
I'll surely find the murderer.
To honor Yun Pil's spirit, and demonstrate the sternness of the nation's law.
Left minister of ceremonial rites. Yun Pil's funeral,
it can't have the slightest mishap, understand?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I heard that you can't talk.
I will ask you a few questions about last night's matter.
If you cooperate properly, I will immediately send you back.
Why did you go to Jujaso at that time?
Why are you asking me this?
What the Royal Guard should be asking me is,
the situation to solve the event and also the clues.
A palace maid of Grand Prince Gwang Pyeong,
would have what need to go to Jujaso?
Do you suspect me?
First say the reason.
I went to the Jujaso
because of Grand Prince Gwang Pyeong's order.
Moreover, what does it matter?
This is not a matter that a mere Royal Guard can ask about.
Fine, then I'll ask again.
What I saw at Jujaso last night was
a scene with the murderer and palace maid together.
But...
Why would the murderer not kill you, you who have seen him?
I'm curious about that. What do you think?
You shouldn't ask me this either,
but the Royal Guard should personally find out.
Right now, shouldn't the Royal Guard be asking me
about clues and conditions in order to catch the criminal?
In that case I'll ask you.
Palace maid, do you have any clues you need to tell me about?
That criminal, 8 feet tall, also wears a mask.
Didn't I see that too?
What is this?
That person wears an iron bracelet, this is the design.
In such a short period of time,
you memorized such a complex design?
Things that I have seen once,
I can memorize.
Now you're asking me to believe this?
The Royal Guard's duty rota.
Can you really memorize things you've seen once?
That's right.
-= Grand Prince Gwang Pyeong: Sejong's 5th son =- Only after seeing it once, So I,
-= Grand Prince Gwang Pyeong: Sejong's 5th son =- can memorize it, no matter if it's a word or picture.
Furthermore, she went to Jujaso last night,
because I told her to get me the book Yun Pil borrowed.
An errand, is that right?
Do you have more to ask So I?
Do you have more to report?
Then, we can go, right?
-=Jujaso=-
You came.
How are things?
That...
There are no stab like wounds.
Then...
Then first take a look at his lungs.
If foreign substances are found inside the lungs,
then it's a death resulting from suffocation by smoke.
Smoke, this time they used fire?
Soil, water and also fire.
What, what does this mean?
Nothing, cover it.
He clearly said soil, water and fire.
Then from what was said, he knows that water was used to kill Heo Dam.
Gang Chae Yun! Gang Chae Yun!
Hey, quickly go to the side palace.
Side... side palace, why?
His Majesty is looking for you.
What? His Majesty?
Why is he looking for me?
It's probably because of the matter last night.
Because you chased the criminal,
could it be that you're going to be rewarded?
That child, is he really Ddol Bok?
-=Mu Hyul (Chief Palace Guard)=- That child, is he really Ddol Bok?
. That child, is he really Ddol Bok?
Does a king have an armored belly or something?
He's the first subject I've saved.
I want to drink a cup of wine given by Your Majesty.
Are you outside Mu Mun?
Yes, Sir.
Bring Royal Guard Gang Chae Yun to the outside of Shin, Mu Mun.
Yes.
He needs to be secretly brought here.
Yes.
I have no alternative Chae Yun.
No, Ddol Bok.
Your Majesty! Royal Guard Gang Chae Yun is here.
Your Majesty.
Were you looking for me?
Why have you come alone?
His Majesty summoned Gang Chae Yun to the side palace.
What?
So, you're saying you saw that fellow at Jujaso?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Speak of it in detail.
That...
That time I entered the Jujaso with a mat draped over my shoulders...
so I couldn't chase that person.
I could only take the palace maid out from the fire.
Before the fire happened, you were just in front of Jujaso, right?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Because I was following his tracks...
How did you know it was the Jujaso?
That...
Tell me about it.
When that strange man kidnapped Scholar Yun Pil...
In order to explain this, can I get up temporarily?
Certainly.
It's the first time I've seen such a nimble person.
No, rather than nimble,
rather it can be said to be like flying.
After jumping down from the tree, it will be like this,
catching Scholar Yun Pil.
Using this kind of posture.
Stop!
What's this about?
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
This is the side palace.
This isn't a place where you're able to freely move about as you please.
With both knees on the ground, you should follow etiquette.
Yes, Sir.
I'll tell you again if you will listen.
That odd man jumped on the tree after grabbing Scholar Yun Pil.
That position on the ground had sunk in a little.
The ground had sunk in?
Yes, if he was using some kind of strong martial art,
I was wondering whether the places he went to will also leave that kind of mark.
So I followed that type of mark and arrived at the Jujaso.
Lee Do.
That person is smarter than I expected, is he not?
Your Majesty.
Yes.
Exactly why must you be like that?
I did well, I did very well.
No matter how, it's an opportunity with a low success rate.
I endured it well.
For the wine that is to be bestowed, until the opportunity has reached 90% success, I need to continue waiting.
Good, I will wait.
Because I'm Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.
It's Ddol Bok.
What, who is it, Ddol Bok?
Musulnyeon,
the entire household, including the slaves of Lord Sim On, were massacred.
That night's survivor is,
Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.
Your Majesty.
Tell him to stop that bullshit.
That Ddol Bok, became Royal Guard Gang Chae Yun and came to the palace, Your Majesty.
When participating in the Northern War, it was said he wished very much to enter the palace.
Can it be that it was for his own success that he wanted to enter the palace?
I will kill him.
The enemy who killed my father, I will kill him.
To not ask for promotions or riches,
but to earnestly ask for wine bestowed by you, for what reason?
I will kill him.
So many years.
Your Majesty.
In the end, it still reached this stage, didn't it?
As an assassin, he came here as an assassin.
It was because of me that he died, right?
Your Majesty!
It was because of me, that his father died.
It was because of me, his whole family died.
Your Majesty.
I, Military Officer Mu Hyul,
as long as I am responsible for Your Majesty's safety within the palace, I can't ignore this.
Ddol Bok.
Gang Chae Yun.
No orders need to be issued,
just temporarily turn a blind eye.
Then I will make this matter go away.
I'll take my leave, Your Majesty.
Wait a moment.
Wait a moment, I want to think about it.
Your Majesty, the palace maid that is carrying out Your Majesty's plan, So I,
has been longing dearly for Ddol Bok.
So I has always thought that Ddol Bok was already dead.
Therefore,
If So I finds out about this,
then we won't be able to forecast future matters.
So I absolutely can't know about this matter.
Your Majesty!
Wait a moment, didn't I say for you to wait a moment?
Wait a moment, Mu Hyul. And don't make a single move.
Girl, what are you doing here?
-=Sejong (Lee Do)=- Girl, what are you doing here?
. Girl, what are you doing here?
Put away your sword.
But...
Quickly.
Why are you like this?
Do you know who I am?
Isn't His Majesty asking you a question?
She can't speak.
-=Queen So Heon=-
Is she a slave of Lord Sim On's household?
Yes.
During the prison breakout at the Royal Investigation Bureau, the child that lost all her relatives,
the child that ran out that time, I saved her.
You want to complain?
She wasn't able to talk to begin with?
She lost her speech that day.
Can you hear?
I am sorry.
Your Majesty, you came.
But His Highness isn't here right now.
I know, I came to see So I.
The things Scholar Yun Pil did before his death,
I have memorized everything written in the books.
Roughly 70% is completed.
The uncompleted parts are kept at another location.
Your Majesty's face is very gloomy. For what reason?
Yun Pil died.
Yes, it really is a pity.
Heo Dam Died.
Go In Seol died.
Father-in-law is also dead.
Mother's brother is also dead.
All of the Queen's relatives are dead.
So I, your family and friends also died right?
Your Majesty.
Since the night of Musulnyeon, there wasn't a day I didn't make a vow.
In the future, I can't let any person die because of me.
But, but...
they died, and...
they are my beloved people.
But they died while working for me.
And, and it kills me.
It's not Your Majesty's responsibility.
What are you doing?
It is my responsibility.
It was I who killed them!
This matter that happened on this piece of Joseon land is my responsibility.
A flood or a sudden thunderstorm are also my responsibility.
This is a king.
To bear all responsibility.
A position that doesn't need to use any excuse.
This is a position called Joseon's king.
Your Majesty!
Who do you think you are, to actually say it's not my responsibility.
My people died because of my matters.
It was I who killed them!
It's not Your Majesty's responsibility.
It's not Your Majesty's... responsibility.
It's not Your Majesty's responsibility.
Don't cry.
Your Majesty!
This is a royal command.
Don't cry.
Because of me, don't...
even shed a tear.
In order to kill me,
the Ddol Bok you have been yearning for, has returned.
You...
If you waver, I will also fall.
Don't waver.
This is a royal command.
What exactly is this?
What is this?
Isn't that the character for 'live'?
It looks like there is still more.
This looks like a sajajeonoen.
-=Sajajeonoen: rumor left before dying=- This looks like a sajajeonoen.
-=Sajajeonoen: rumor left before dying=- .
-=Sajajeonoen: rumor left before dying=- Sajajeonoen.
That's right.
Here they are.
Open it and see.
To pierce "Gon". Mouth "Gu".
To perish "Mang". Body "Gi".
"Pierce the mouth to perish the body."
"Pierce the body to perish the mouth."
"Perish the mouth to pierce the body."
"Perish the body to pierce the mouth."
So, exactly what does this mean?
Well,
you're asking me. Who should I go and ask?
And the sequence is also not known.
Aren't you a self proclaimed Chinese character know it all?
Is it all bragging?
What bragging?
I will definitely unscramble a part of it, just wait and see.
Who... who is this person?
How can you people casually enter?
You think you're so great by living off government taxes.
You were the ones who called me, why am I being ignored?
I can't stand it anymore.
Who is he?
What is he called, that Han guy?
In short, he failed the imperial examination about 20 times.
The Yangban shamelessly living in Banchon.
Really idle, really idle.
But what is he doing here?
Because his mouth is the cheapest and loudest.
You're crazy, it has already made people panicky.
Must the whole town know?
Mmm...
That's what I plan to do.
Look over here.
What is this?
This, "Gon Gu Mang Gi", who else knows about it?
This... I wanted to come here to keep the secret until the end.
But I'm afraid that before long, everyone will know.
Why is this?
Royal Guard Gang Chae Yun, is currently spreading it everywhere.
What? What are you saying?
"Pierce the mouth to perish the body."
"Pierce the body to perish the mouth."
"Perish the mouth to pierce the body."
"Pierce the body and the mouth to perish it."
What is that?
I'm also very curious.
How can this person leave these kind of items behind and go?
What else is there?
It's certain someone stuffed them into his mouth.
What do you mean, stuffed them in. I'm afraid it was when he was confused at the time of the fire,
and accidentally breathed them into his mouth.
Why is this?
That's why it's said you commoners have little experience.
So...
This is called a Sajajeonoen.
Saja... Sajajeonoen.
What does that mean?
To pass on a message just before dying.
That is the meaning.
So it was actually the last words of the deceased before dying.
Has everyone heard?
Is it not now Senior Editor Yun's mourning period.
Your words and actions are too disrespectful.
-=Seong Sam Mun: Editor, 6th rank=- Your words and actions are too disrespectful.
-=Seong Sam Mun: Editor, 6th rank=- Then you shouldn't listen. .
Then you shouldn't listen.
The late Senior Editor Yun.
What was wrong with Senior Editor Yun?
Quickly say it.
It's said that Senior Editor Yun left a sajajeonoen.
What, a sajajeonoen?
That's right.
What was left behind?
It is like this.
What this means, everyone understands right?
I am clear about myself.
I won't use one bit of my brain for the sake of solving a riddle.
Why?
Because I'm sure I can't solve it.
In addition Yun Pil was a smart person.
It certainly isn't a simple riddle.
So that's why you spread this thing around.
To let those intellectuals solve it.
No, this isn't a riddle that anyone can easily solve.
It absolutely isn't.
In that case...
This is surely a code that only those who know the details will understand.
-=Am Eol:Secret Signal=- This is surely a code that only those who know the details will understand.
-=Am Eol:Secret Signal=- The fellow who knows will certainly come forward.
-=Am Eol:Secret Signal=- The fellow who can't tolerate it any more.
We will just poke around until then.
Poke around? Where?
First start from the Jiphyeonjeon.
Why?
Didn't you also just see that tattoo?
-=Jamon: tattoo=- Didn't you also just see that tattoo?
-=Jamon: tattoo=- So what about it? .
-=Jamon: tattoo=- . .
-=Jamon: tattoo= Although because it's too small I can't see it clearly,
. Although because it's too small I can't see it clearly,
something is definitely written in the circle.
Scholar Heo Dam's shoulder also had this.
And so, what about that tattoo?
Use some brains, you pig!
Penning the same kind of tattoo,
what else can it mean.
The same faction?
Or,
they're fond of each other.
Members of the same organization. Members.
Seems like "Gon Gu Mang Gi".
What is that, can it be that it points out the murderer?
I'm not sure.
He said he wants to make it so the whole city knows.
I'm afraid he wants to go through the intellectuals to find the answer.
Your Majesty.
If you don't choose to break off now, you may face more disasters.
Chae Yun is a dangerous person.
Chae Yun, that guy seems to know dry drowning.
Go In Seol who died in the north, Scholar Heo Dam,
Yun Pil's death,
I believe that it's associated to earth, water and fire, the 5 elements.
The young Ddol Bok, exactly
how much effort did he put in for the sake of killing me.
You're amazing, Gang Chae Yun.
What is "Gon Gu Mang Gi"?
How come you assume I know?
If Your Majesty doesn't know,
then would you need to solve the problem now?
But you haven't done anything.
Yes, I know.
Since you now know,
why aren't you saying anything?
Because this is impossible.
Unbelievable.
This group of fellows...
Don't make a move.
What are you doing?
Looking at how they're dressed, they are the Ming Dynasty people from the Tae Pyeong Gwan.
If we get involved, it will only make things worse.
What are you all doing?
Who do you think you are?
It seems that you're all from the Tae Pyeong Gwan.
How could you do such a thing?
You, thing.
How can you randomly draw your sword?
But these fellows...
I am North village's Sim Jong Su.
What?
In a nobleman's country you must pay attention to etiquette.
Don't move.
The young ones were insensible, hence they were disrespectful to you just now.
Let's go.
Hanyang also has this kind of warrior. They're very fast.
So beautiful.
"Gon Gu Mang Gi".
Has something happened?
I am Royal Guard Gang Chae Yun. I have come here to see Fuzi.
Fuzi is out on a journey.
Then whom should I consult with?
I want to talk about Scholar Yun Pil's matter.
-=Jang Seong Su: Senior Editor 5th Rank=-
You can speak to the Second Counselor.
What's the matter?
You... no...
Weren't you the one at Jujaso...
-=Sim Jong Su: Second Counselor, 3rd Rank.=- Weren't you the one at the Jujaso?
-=Sim Jong Su: Second Counselor, 3rd Rank.=-
Did you see it?
-=Sim Jong Su: Second Counselor, 3rd Rank.=-
Don't mention this kind of shameful matter again.
How is it that the Second Counselor, displays such superior martial arts skills?
In terms of martial arts, he is just below Mu Hyul.
In terms of essays, he is comparable to Ming Dynasty's distinguished scholars.
Seong Su Cheon.
Let's go inside and talk.
Please go in.
I'll get straight to the point.
Please allow us to inspect the Jiphyeonjeon scholars' bodies.
-=Gisingeomyeol: body inspection=- Please allow us to inspect the Jiphyeonjeon scholars' bodies.
-=Gisingeomyeol: body inspection=-
What, body inspection?
. What, body inspection?
What is this, you need to do body inspections?
This is Fuzi.
Who is it that dares to inspect the bodies of the scholars?
-=Choe Man Ri: Deputy Chief Scholar, 3rd Rank.=- Who is it that dares to inspect the bodies of the scholars?
On Scholar Yun Pil's body, some intriguing evidence was found.
So, how is that related to inspecting bodies?
As to how it's related,
because it's still in the midst of investigation, I can't inform you.
If you allow the body inspections,
it's possible to stop it from advancing further.
Are you threatening me right now?
Threaten, how can you say that.
If I don't allow it,
afterwards, what will happen can't be guaranteed.
If this isn't threatening, what is it?
I absolutely can't allow it.
No, even if I allow you,
Joseon scholars will not let you buy your way in.
Get out immediately. Get out!
-=Royal Guard Hall=-
Take me to the autopsy room.
Autopsy room... what is that?
The autopsy room with Yun Pil's corpse.
I... I don't know.
The corpse, it's already been buried...
Take me there. Take me there now.
"Jung Gi Mang".
The character 'Gu" as in mouth, can transform to "Jung".
Yes, although this seems a bit like a children's game...
What do you mean?
The Chinese family name of Gi has already destroyed...
If it's the Chinese family name Gi...
Isn't one of the Chinese ambassadors called Gi Jae Eon?
Are there any movements from the Ming Dynasty's Tae Pyeong Gwan?
I'm only guessing.
"Sin" as in monkey and south west direction,
or "Sin Si".
If that's the case, it can also be "Gap",
or maybe "Jeon".
Then what about the last character "Mang"?
Then do you have any other explanation?
In my opinion, they should be strokes,
aside from the first word.
"Gu", "Gi", "Mang", are all 3 strokes.
Therefore...
One horizontal line represents His Majesty.
The 3 strokes of the character "Gu" is referring to the prime ministers.
How about the 6 strokes of the characters "Gi" and "Mang"?
Don't tell me is... deputy ministers.
That's right.
So what about His Majesty with the 3 prime ministers and 6 deputies?
-=Pak Paeng Nyeon: Editor, 6th rank=- So what about His Majesty with the 3 prime ministers and 6 deputies?
So what about Your Majesty with the 3 prime ministers and 6 deputies?
That... I don't know that either.
Furthermore, if I can't solve it...
What, if you can't solve it, no one can.
Were you thinking that?
Senior Editor Jang is brilliant.
For listening to your complete nonsense, I'm the idiot.
Starting from the character 'Mang', let's do a more in-depth study.
"Mang"?
Really, I said it was a waste of time.
Nevertheless have a drink, Paeng Nyeon.
Now is not the time to reveal the answer to this riddle.
That person is Jang En Seong.
He has a close relationship with Right Minister Lee Sin Jeok.
And, who is she?
A maid from the King's palace.
-=Jiphyeonjeon=- A maid from the King's palace.
-=Jiphyeonjeon=-
The Right Minister has called for Deputy Chief Scholar Choe Man Ri.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Another person came, another one came.
The one His Majesty was looking for is Sir Jeong In Ji.
What exactly do you want to do?
Aigoo, it seems like he's drunk again.
Who is he?
He is Sir Seong Seung's heir, Scholar Seong Sam Mun.
The one most like a person at Jiphyeonjeon.
Why?
He doesn't have any thoughts of his own.
And who is this?
Isn't that Sir Sim Jong Su? I want to greet him.
- Chae Yun, Chae Yun, Chae Yun. - This idiot...
This idiot...
What? What's happened?
The cor... the corpse disappeared.
What?
Cor... cor... corpse...
What is this?
I... I was sure I closed the door!
Then, did they steal the corpse?
Yes.
Exactly, who is that person?
We still don't know who he is, but his technique is very crude.
It surely is someone related to Heo Dam and Yun Pil.
If Sir Jeong In Ji finds out, I'm dead.
What are you going to do...
It will be fine if you just keep quiet about this. You may go.
Yes.
Exactly what are you looking for?
Find out who they are and wait for my next order.
Yes.
You're here.
Most of the scholars are combining these characters
to see who it will lead to.
They formed the words "Gap", "Sin", "Jeon".
And even proposed that it refers to the Chinese ambassador, Gi Jae Eon.
Do you also not know?
What does "Gon Gu Mang Gi" signify?
Your Majesty, do you know it already?
This four charactered apothegm, is it referring to us?
According to Yun Pyeong,
before Yun Pil died, he exposed our identity during the interrogation.
So this "Gon Gu Mang Gi" should be referring to us.
But, how this refers to us, we have no idea.
Your Majesty, what's the meaning of "Gon Gu Mang Gi"?
We are not the only members of Cheon Ji.
Solving the meaning behind "Gon Gu Mang Gi", only eight persons in this world can do it.
Not all Cheon Ji members will know.
His Majesty was doing things behind our backs.
Mil, Mil. (Mil of Milbon)
Yun Pil is using words only we know to convey a message.
Your Majesty, then what is the meaning of that character?
Why is this referring to us?
Mil.
Bon.
Mil.
Bon.
-= Next Episode Preview =-
The Mil Bon exists in every place.
The next task can't be failed.
It's Seong Sam Mun.
Do you know when I want to kill people the most?
When?
When I can't believe myself.
Is that now?
In this King's position, I need to kill people?
His Majesty ordered you to burn the books at Jiphyeonjeon and then
live in seclusion at home.
No matter what I still need to try.
I want to break off from this non-profitable matter.
Now I don't want to go to the Jiphyeonjeon.
You provoked me.
I'm Hanjik Village's Ddol Bok.
The Mil Bon can sway the King's power.
The Mil Bon can shake Joseon.
You have no background, what status do you have?
I do.
So you know where Jeong Gi Jun resides?
