Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Episode 31

Foreboding dream

This episode starts with a weird foreboding dream of the main clothes designer in a fabric shop. He is a gambling addict who prefers cockfights to designing and he has no qualms taking money from wife and business for his habit. He receives a mystery letter from his cousin in shangxia and talks his wife into giving him a silver ingot for him. As he rushes out the door of the fabric shop he runs into Lu literally and is snippy about the return of the silver he dropped. Lu trying to buy clothes for XiJun is humerous. I have no idea how it will turn out but the designers and XiJun will know he meant well. The wife that owns the place and handles the money is very ill. She is doing her best to keep things afloat, but her talented, spendthrift husband is stealing the bit of energy and money she has left. The husband eventually finds the hotel his cousin is staying at. It is more like a pay by the hour place.😝 it is creepy and used for trysts,but as he is literally pulled into hotel he sees his ‘cousin’ first thing. The next thing we see is our gambling designer dead in a fancy tub. The owner gives an account of her odd clientele and why she had a luxury bath tub installed. Veiled women seem to be a theme with this case as it started in his dream and ended up where he died. The owner has now found herself kicked out of her own establishment along with the guests til the murder is solved. Even Fei can’t figure this one out. It was not natural causes so the murderer was quite clever in pulling it off. They catch the one who stole his silver and denied killing him for it. He does, however, claim 20 deaths in surrounding area that he is responsible for.
