A Dream of Splendor 梦华录 Episode 1

During the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was raining and raining, the Tokyo Imperial City Division committed a heinous crime out of nowhere. The relative officer Kong Wu was ordered to be severely tortured and finally pried out the secret from a prisoner. It turned out that Wei Ying, the magistrate of Renhe County, was plotting secretly to frame the empress and emulate Wu Zhou.

Almost at the same time, a voice sounded from behind the tent, like a tidal wave from far to near. Accompanying the voice was Gu Qianfan, the commander of the Imperial City Division, known to the outside world as Living Yama. Seeing Gu Qianfan's eyes flickering, the prisoner's figure shook, and he quickly uttered the word "Qiantang".

In the eyes of the world today, Gu Qianfan is the eagle dog of the imperial court, allowing that person to hide in the dark to stir up the situation, frame Zhongliang, and attract all forces to fight. The queen's loss of virginity has been concealed for decades, and it should have been reported to the official family, but the Huangcheng Division chose to keep it a secret, and Gu Qianfan immediately set off to Qiantang to find paintings, and these depended on the queen's party and the clan power behind her. Go wild.

There are many small bridges and flowing waters in the south of the Yangtze River, the green walls are towering, and there are countless gatehouses living by the river, and there is also a Zhao's tea shop at the end. The proprietress Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang have known each other for many years and have a strong friendship. Sun Sanniang often makes cakes and sells them in tea shops.

Nine peach blossoms are in full bloom, and fiance Ouyang Xu has not returned to Beijing to take the exam, which makes Zhao Paner's thoughts light. Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest suddenly came today. It was Gu Qianfan who followed Lao Jia to drink tea and listen to him. Because of his contempt for rural women, Zhao Paner had a very bad impression of him.

Lao Jia passed Wei Ying's confession, and after a detailed investigation, he found that Yang Zhiyuan, the transfer judge of the two Zhe Roads, had inadvertently collected the pictures of the night banquet, but he did not know the strangeness of the paintings. Considering the importance of the matter, and the fact that Yang Zhiyuan is still a clear streamer, it is really inconvenient for Lao Jia to go directly to the door to ask for it, and he is ready to find an opportunity to steal from the mansion.

Just at this time, a group of robbers were chased by officers and soldiers, and they broke into the tea shop in a hurry. Originally, Lao Jia wanted to see injustice, but Gu Qianfan's eyes told him not to act rashly. Zhao Pan'er saw the vicious face of the visitor, so he pretended to be weak, and then shouted at Sun Sanniang. The two of them raised the porcelain jar and smashed it at the robber with great tacit understanding.

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was gradually losing ground, Gu Qianfan took action to subdue the robbers, and led the officers and soldiers to suspect Gu Qianfan's identity. It was not until Lao Gu took out the lion head pendant that he realized that he had almost caused a big disaster. At first, Zhao Pan'er prepared a cup of tea to thank him in return for Gu Qianfan's life-saving virtue.

Gu Qianfan's eyes were vicious, obviously seeing that Zhao Pan'er was wrong, and insisted that she make another pot of tea for himself, and finally threatened the other party with his power to explain his origin. Sun Sanniang was afraid that Zhao Pan'er would be bullied, so she was walking away holding a kitchen knife, only to hear that she was as eloquent as a family treasure, although her face was extremely calm, her eyes were already red.

Before Zhao Paner finished speaking, Gu Qianfan took Lao Jia away, and Sun Sanniang stepped forward to comfort her, but fortunately Zhao Paner was relieved. Just as Zhao Pan'er said, he became a low-ranking member because of his father's sin. When he was a member of the family, he never served people in color. Even if he left his family and returned to Liang, he still sold tea for a living, and he did not fall into depravity.

On the contrary, Gu Qianfan, through Zhao Pan'er's attitude, deduced that she hated the Imperial City Division to the core. Presumably, it must have been the Imperial City Division who arrested Zhao's father, which would cause her to be displaced and eventually turned into a musical performer. This past event is also unforgettable for Zhao Paner. The childhood encounter made her feel heavy. It is said that the banquet is a gathering of celebrities and celebrities, but no one knows what kind of conspiracy and murderous intentions are hidden in the joyful laughter.

Just when Zhao Paner was distracted, Fu Zifang threw a kick ball from the other side of the river. Sun Sanniang knew at a glance that her son had skipped class and rushed over cursingly. At this time, Song Yinzhang brought his lover Zhou She to the tea shop. Zhao Paner saw that Zhou She was not a good person, but a drunkard who went in and out of Fireworks and Liuxiang, and even had a bad habit of gambling, so he firmly opposed Song Yinzhang marrying each other. 

Zhou She was so angry that he turned around and left immediately, even furious at Song Yinzhang. It is a pity that Song Yinzhang, as the number one pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River, attracts thousands of gold prizes for a song. After all, it is because of love. Not only does he refuse to look back, but he hopes that Zhao Paner will fulfill himself. A parrot with a jade ring in its cage would rather be a free wild bird in the wild.

Zhao Pan'er couldn't persuade Song Yinzhang, and simply threatened her that if she left, she must first keep the money she had previously run the shop. Song Yinzhang chose to run away without saying a word. Zhao Paner rowed a boat to chase after learning about it. After all, it was still a step too late. He only visited Yang Zhiyuan with a heavy ceremony and wanted him to help Song Yinzhang get rid of his music.

That night, Gu Qianfan led his subordinates into the Yang residence and asked Yang Zhiyuan to hand over the pictures of the banquet. Zhao Paner followed the sound, and saw Yang Zhiyuan's own hand-painted picture through the window, but Mrs. Yang's family still had friendship with Gu Shenyan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, so she was able to be unscrupulous and scolded Gu Qianfan in public for being a minion of the eunuch, which was a disgrace to the family.
