Vengeance from beyond the grave

The intrigues continue. BingWen gets ZangHai an audience with Shi YiPing and the games begin. This one is cagey and heads for getting the sword of justice from Zang Hai. Here he reminds me very much of the Marquis. That part is thwarted and Zang Hai manages a secret audience with a gift of two rare paintings. Right when things get interesting, he drops dead from poisoning. LuYan is quite the assassin. She was really wanting to get both of them. The fight scene was very well choreographed and she and AnTu finished things up nicely. She started talking and we find out that Shi YiPing was responsible for poisoning the surveillance group and getting the seal and fish from Cao. Lu Yan was definitely not in agreement with the plan. She only revealed that she wanted to kill Zang Hai much earlier and she hated him for getting her master killed. Right when authorities showed up she slit her own throat to join the rest of her fallen comrades and master. That cockroach Cao is still not done Lu Fen still out there. Amd we don’t know if any other secret Lu’s in the mix. 😝 I’m with Zang Hai that that went far too smoothly. He left the seal with the Emperor but kept the fish. The seal still does not look the same as episode one. There is still some things going on that have yet to be revealed. The picture of Dongxia was a clue and gives a specific mountain location. Zang Hai is planning on resigning and BenWin is offered YiPing’s job. He was not particularly wanting it, but agreed to be interim head of court til proper replacement found. Gao is acting off. Is he really going to be third enemy? Waiting to see what Zang Hai and AnTu have planned. Will master and student really have a head to head battle over the fish? Or is emperor still pulling some strings? He does not know about fish specifically but I think he is well aware that the seal does not work as it currently is. Was a clue given when he wanted to visit original master and was Gao says wonder if he is still even there? The puzzles keep spinning but the locks are being let loose one by one. How many locks are there? Cause it seems kinda endless.
