The Litchi Road Episode 20 Recap
> The Litchi Road Recap
Nine years ago, young Yun Qing became an orphan. The procuress of Pingkangfang bought her and made her do the hardest and most tiring work. Yun Qing dared not speak out her anger. The Left Chancellor sent Lu Huan to Pingkangfang to kill Assistant Minister Zheng, a traitor from the Jing'ansi. Lu Huan arrived at Pingkangfang to stake out. Assistant Minister Zheng of the Jing'ansi arrived shortly after.
He handed over the land deed of Ren'anfang to the Right Chancellor's envoy and also submitted a list of the Left Chancellor's confidants. Yun Qing wanted to escape but was caught by the Pingkangfang attendants. Ding Tong'er ordered Yun Qing to be washed and dressed up, forcing her to accompany the Right Chancellor's envoy. Assistant Minister Zheng came out of the private room. Yun Qing was ordered to bring tea to the Right Chancellor's envoy.
The Right Chancellor's envoy touched her inappropriately. Yun Qing was frightened and screamed for help. Fortunately, Lu Huan arrived in time and killed the envoy with a swift strike. Yun Qing was terrified out of her wits. The guards swarmed up and surrounded Lu Huan. Lu Huan killed all of them with little effort. He Youguang brought Zhao Xinmin to the foreign merchants' guild to demand the person from A Mita.
A Mita lied, claiming she had only caught a fisherman. Zhao Xinmin heard that Li Shande was looking for A Tu. They came this time just to prevent Li Shande from finding A Tu. He Youguang insisted on taking A Tu away. A Mita adamantly refused. She heard that ten years ago, A Tu was instigated by someone to sell two thousand shares of Haifan Chou, and immediately after, the Qi Jing Lou caught fire.
Her father, Hai Hu, died in the fire. A Mita suspected the mastermind was the killer who killed her father, Hai Hu. A Mita only wanted to know who the mastermind was, so she handed A Tu over to He Youguang. A Tu was brought in. He Youguang immediately panicked. He was worried A Tu would reveal the truth and quickly stepped forward to kill A Tu. A Mita desperately tried to stop him.
A Tu publicly exposed He Youguang for making him sell two thousand shares of Haifan Chou and claimed he had seen He Youguang set the Qi Jing Lou on fire with his own eyes. He Youguang argued in every way. A Tu claimed he had solid evidence in his hand. In a fit of rage, He Youguang killed A Tu to silence him. A Mita gritted her teeth in anger.
He Youguang played the emotional card with A Mita, saying he had raised her since she was little. A Mita completely saw through He Youguang's true colors and confirmed that He Youguang had burned her father to death. He Youguang not only refused to admit his wrongdoing but also spoke self-righteously, repeatedly claiming he had raised A Mita and supported her to become the head of the foreign merchants' guild.
A Mita swore to kill He Youguang to avenge her father. He Youguang threatened to ruin A Mita. A Mita drew her sword, ready for a fight to the death with He Youguang. He Youguang ordered his men to kill A Mita. A Mita swung her sword towards He Youguang. He Youguang was injured. He drew an arrow and shot it towards A Mita. Lan Yu shielded A Mita and fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow.
Zhao Xinmin was so scared he hid to the side. A group of masked people arrived shortly after. They rescued A Mita. A Mita took the injured Lan Yu with her. After the group rode away, He Youguang called out for help. Zhao Xinmin bravely came out. He Youguang sent him to find out who rescued A Mita and also ordered Commandant Yang to kill everyone present today to silence them.
He Youguang ordered a city-wide lockdown to apprehend A Mita. Yun Qing sent people to rescue A Mita. She wanted to cooperate with A Mita, provided A Mita handed over all the evidence of He Youguang's crimes. A Tu was dead. The little girl he adopted was homeless. A Chai wanted to take her back to Dayu Mountain. Li Shande promised to send the little girl to an embroidery workshop. A Tong felt sorry for Li Shande.
After all the trouble he went through to finally find A Tu, he died before he could ask about the hidden small path. Yan Yazhuang wanted to go to Dayu Mountain to look for the path. Li Shande advised him not to waste time. Li Shande took the little girl to the embroidery workshop and named her A Hui. The workshop owner agreed to take A Hui in.
A Hui gave Li Shande the handkerchief she had embroidered, which was the road of hope A Tu had drawn for her before his death. A Chai held a funeral for A Tu according to Dong customs. Li Shande took out the handkerchief embroidered by A Hui. On it was a topographical map of Dayu Mountain drawn by A Tu. Li Shande discovered that A Tu had drawn the hidden small path. Yan Yazhuang volunteered to run the route once.
Li Shande agreed on a meeting place with him and then went to discuss it with Su Liang. A Mita hadn't shown up for several days. The foreign merchants were without a leader and in complete disarray. Xiao Yunchuan had a lot of goods piled up. He came to Zhao Xinmin for help. Zhao Xinmin recommended him to be the acting head. He was extremely grateful to Zhao Xinmin. Zhao Xinmin reminded him to repay the favor.
Xiao Yunchuan immediately offered Zhao Xinmin thirty percent of his profits and asked him to help recommend him for the official position of head. Zhao Xinmin readily agreed. Xiao Yunchuan expressed his immense gratitude to Zhao Xinmin. He Youguang was seriously injured. He sent people to search the whole city for A Mita. Several days passed, and they still found nothing. He Youguang was furious and sent Zhao Xinmin to continue searching for A Mita.
Zhao Xinmin took the opportunity to recommend Xiao Yunchuan as the acting head of the foreign merchants' guild. This would not only stabilize the foreign merchants but also completely disrupt Li Shande's plan to transport the lychees. He Youguang questioned the relationship between Zhao Xinmin and Xiao Yunchuan. Zhao Xinmin used the pretense of considering He Youguang's interests in everything. He Youguang couldn't think of a better plan at the moment, so he agreed to Zhao Xinmin's suggestion.
Lan Yu's injuries gradually improved. A Mita was completely heartbroken by her. Lan Yu first betrayed her and then later took an arrow for her. A Mita and Lan Yu broke off all ties. Lan Yu had to admit that she had sold herself to bury her mother back then. He Youguang bought her and arranged for her to be A Mita's spy. Lan Yu didn't know beforehand that He Youguang was A Mita's father's killer. She only told He Youguang about A Mita capturing A Tu because she didn't want suspicion to arise between He Youguang and A Mita.
