Handsome Siblings Episode 20 Recap
> Handsome Siblings Recap
Jiang Yulang, disguised as a sedan chair bearer, framed Old Master Tie for sending poisoned wine to Hua Wuque. Tie Wushuang was furious upon hearing this. He fought Jiang Yulang and was injured. Jiang Biehe asked if he was trying to silence him. Xiao Yu'er, disguised as a waiter, saw all of this from the side and knew it was a continuous scheme orchestrated by the Jiang father and son.
Jiang Biehe asked Hua Wuque if he still remembered the surviving stableman from the Double Lion Escort Agency, whose family was massacred, and how he described the killer. Hua Wuque said he was old, with white hair and a white beard. Jiang Biehe said that was Tie Wushuang, the Leader of the Three Xiang Alliance. Xiao Yu'er thought to himself that Old Master Tie was finished now; even a hundred mouths couldn't clear his name.
Jiang Biehe said the truth had come out. He asked Hua Wuque how this matter should be resolved. Hua Wuque said that if this got out into the martial arts world, Tie Wushuang would surely be disgraced. They would give him half a day to think about how to settle it and return at midnight tonight. Jiang Biehe agreed.
After they left, Old Master Tie told Master Zhao that he was unable to defend himself and might as well end his own life. Master Zhao advised him that there might still be a turning point. Old Master Tie said, "Unless the real culprit is found, but I only have half a day." Eight or nine tenths of the poison gas in Tie Xinlan's body had been removed.
The doctor prescribed medicine for her recovery, saying she would be completely well within a few days. Tie Xinlan thanked Hua Wuque, saying that if it weren't for him, she would have gone to meet the King of Hell by now. Hua Wuque said it should be he who thanked her; that jar of poisoned wine was meant for him, and it should have been he who met the King of Hell, but she saved him.
He asked her why she drank so much wine yesterday. Tie Xinlan sadly said that she wholeheartedly cared for some people, but they didn't care at all. Hua Wuque advised her to take care of her health and not overthink things. The Luo brothers suggested to Master Zhao that they could act first and kidnap the Duan father and daughter, making Jiang Biehe hesitant to make a move.
Xiao Yu'er stepped forward to dissuade them, saying it absolutely must not be done. He said if they kidnapped the Duan father and daughter now, everyone in the world would truly believe that the poisoning and escort robbery were his and Old Master Tie's doing, and there would be no chance to salvage the situation then. Master Zhao reconsidered but ultimately agreed to the Luo brothers' suggestion, letting them go to abduct the Duan father and daughter.
Xiao Yu'er guessed that the Luo brothers wanted to make things unmanageable. When he learned they were looking for someone who knew the way, he volunteered to lead them, wanting to see what they were really up to. The Luo brothers arrived at the Duan residence with two sedan chairs. The Duan family servants asked them what they wanted. The Luo brothers said they were there to carry pigs and told them to get lost.
Seeing the unwelcome visitors, the servants quickly ran inside to report. The Luo brothers led their men in, tied up the Duan father and daughter, and put them into the sedan chairs. Xiao Yu'er was carrying a sedan chair when he saw Jiang Biehe and Hua Wuque, among others, riding horses towards him. He pretended to stumble, moving the sedan chair to the middle of the road, blocking the path of Jiang Biehe and his group.
While repeatedly apologizing, he quietly told Jiang Biehe that Duan Hefei's father and daughter had been kidnapped. Jiang Biehe, however, was unmoved and continued to ride forward. Xiao Yu'er thought to himself that his guess was correct: Jiang Biehe and the Luo brothers had already colluded. Xiao Yu'er went to the main hall and told Master Zhao that the Duan father and daughter had been locked in the pigsty as per his instructions.
Old Master Tie, who was drinking tea nearby, was very surprised to hear this. Master Zhao happily said he never expected his old archenemy to fall into his hands like this. Tie Wushuang said, "By abducting the Duan father and daughter, doesn't it make us seem even more in the wrong and guilty?" Master Zhao said they had no other choice but to make a desperate gamble.
Tie Wushuang was so angry that he stood up, clutching his chest, unable to speak. Master Zhao told Xiao Yu'er to quickly help him to rest. On the way back to his room, Xiao Yu'er advised Old Master Tie to quickly escape. Old Master Tie said that would be the behavior of a coward, and if he did that, he would rather die.
Xiao Yu'er said they were clearly setting a trap to harm him, and advised him to leave quickly, using the proverb "as long as the green mountains remain, there'll be no shortage of firewood." However, Old Master Tie believed that integrity and righteousness were more important than his life. Seeing his stubbornness, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but stomp his foot in frustration.
Master Zhao followed the Luo brothers' suggestion and arranged archers within the manor, just waiting for Jiang Biehe and Hua Wuque to walk into their trap. Xiao Yu'er accidentally overheard the Luo brothers saying that Master Zhao was fooled just by their words. Previously, someone had given them a thousand taels of silver to kidnap the Duan father and daughter. This time, they were given five hundred taels, and the transaction location was at a tavern.
Xiao Yu'er then used his disguise art to impersonate one of the Luo brothers and went to the tavern in advance to take the silver. One of the Luo brothers went to the tavern but no one showed up, so he returned furiously, saying they had been tricked. That night, Master Zhao and Old Master Tie were sitting in the main hall when suddenly, archers began falling from the rooftop, dead.
Old Master Tie and Master Zhao quickly stood up to investigate. Just then, Hua Wuque and Jiang Biehe flew into the courtyard. Hua Wuque said that Tie Wushuang had set up an ambush to murder him and Great Hero Jiang. Tie Wushuang said he knew nothing about it. Master Zhao quickly turned to look at the Luo brothers, but unexpectedly, they turned on him, accusing him of using such despicable methods.
Tie Wushuang was so angry that he vomited blood and couldn't stand steadily, so his disciple helped him to sit on a chair. Master Zhao said that Duan Hefei's father and daughter were in his hands, and if he died, they wouldn't survive either. Just as he spoke, a sedan chair arrived in front of the hall, and Duan Hefei stepped out. He chuckled, saying that his father and daughter had already been rescued by Great Hero Jiang.
Seeing this, Master Zhao quickly fled. Everyone wanted to chase, but Hua Wuque said he couldn't escape, as all exits of Diling Manor were guarded by his men. As Master Zhao was walking, Xiao Yu'er suddenly pulled him aside and told him he would show him a way to survive. Jiang Biehe asked Hua Wuque how Tie Wushuang should be handled. Hua Wuque said that since he was old, it would be better to let him end his own life.
Jiang Biehe handed him a sword for him to do so. Tie Wushuang, filled with grief and indignation, stuck the sword into the table. The sedan chair bearer, disguised as Jiang Yulang, stepped forward and said he could help him end it. Just then, Master Zhao walked over and said, "Jiang Yulang, do you think no one would recognize you just because you disguised yourself as a sedan chair bearer?" Jiang Yulang said he was talking nonsense.
Master Zhao said that Jiang Yulang robbed the Duan family's escort silver because he wanted Old Master Tie's life. Duan Hefei didn't believe him, saying that the first time his escort silver was robbed, it was Young Hero Jiang who returned it. Master Zhao said that the first time the escort silver was robbed, it was Jiang Yulang who colluded with the Double Lion Escort Agency.
This was a trick by Jiang Yulang, crying "stop thief" while being the thief himself. Hua Wuque asked him why Jiang Yulang would do this. Master Zhao said, firstly, it could enhance his prestige in the martial arts world, and secondly, he wouldn't be suspected in the second escort robbery. Hua Wuque said, according to his explanation, if the Double Lion Escort Agency were Jiang Yulang's accomplices, why would their entire family be killed?
Master Zhao stated that after everyone from the Double Lion Escort Agency was dead, Duan Hefei naturally couldn't find anyone to compensate him, and such a large sum of escort silver then fell into the hands of the Jiang father and son. Jiang Yulang angrily said, "A thief's bite leaves a deep mark!" As he spoke, he was about to attack Master Zhao but was stopped by Hua Wuque, who told him to let Master Zhao finish speaking.
Jiang Biehe said, "Where is the evidence for these baseless speculations he's making?" Just then, a person wearing a bamboo hat and with ash smeared on his face flew down. This person was none other than Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er revealed the truth of the matter. The people of the Double Lion Escort Agency were not weak in martial arts; to be killed in one move, they must have been caught off guard and killed by someone close to them.
That stableman was intentionally left alive by Jiang Yulang, whose purpose was to make the stableman see everything he wanted him to see. Jiang Biehe chuckled, "That person is not my son, but he himself, standing right here." Hua Wuque asked who he was, seeing that the person wearing the bamboo hat was unwilling to speak. Jiang Yulang said he wanted to see his true face and attacked him, fighting ensued. Suddenly, someone cried out, "Master!"
Everyone looked back and saw Old Master Tie dead, with a sharp sword plunged into his neck. Jiang Biehe said he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Xiao Yu'er flew over and said he didn't commit suicide. He pointed at one of Tie Wushuang's disciples and said he was the one who killed Old Master Tie. This person secretly colluded with Jiang Yulang. Seeing that the truth was exposed, he stabbed his master in the throat with a sword.
That day, he personally saw him tampering with the wine; he was the one who intended to harm Escort Leaders Zhao and Li. The disciple attacked and fought with Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er's bamboo hat fell off. He rolled his eyes, intentionally scaring him. The man suddenly remembered the waiter he had killed in the back kitchen. He screamed in terror about a ghost and turned to run but was stabbed to death by Jiang Biehe's sword.
Xiao Yu'er said Jiang Biehe was silencing him. Jiang Biehe said that he and the sedan chair bearer had slandered his son. He asked, "Where is that sedan chair bearer?" Xiao Yu'er looked back and saw that Jiang Yulang was gone. Jiang Biehe then framed him as the mastermind behind everything.
