《Against The Current》Episode 13 Synopsis

Jialan ventures to explore the house, and Lu Dalang's identity is exposed

Jiugao approached Mrs. Li Si by selling goods and found out that she had sewed clothes for a family named Luo.The house had a strong servant and two watchdogs, so it was difficult to enter rashly, so he first found out the surrounding terrain and reported back to his house.He specially gave the candied dates left over on the road to Yuchan, and left happily after seeing her eat them.Jin Qi suspected that thousands of fake cotton-padded clothes could enter the military camp, and there must be an insider. He did not dare to easily alert more people, and was also afraid of implicating friends of the Sanfa Division.

Since the other party is willing to let the needlework woman in, we can start from here.Jiugao originally wanted to pretend to be a woman, but Jin Qi was worried that it would be too easy to reveal his secret.Jialan took the initiative to ask for help, pretending that her husband had died of illness and that she needed to raise money to return to Beijing to ask if there was any needlework.She entered the house smoothly, and because she was afraid of the guard dog's behavior, she put the medicine-soaked handkerchief into the dog's water basin. She also paid attention to the movements in the courtyard all the way, and saw that these people might be preparing to leave.

Against The Current

The woman who received her asked her to try her craft, and there was a man in the back room.Jialan hid a needle and deliberately mentioned that she had a large amount of cotton that she wanted to sell as soon as possible. Sure enough, the man came out and agreed to go see the goods with her.She had seen the portrait and recognized this person as Lu Dalang.But when he arrived at the door, Lu Dalang found that the dog had passed out. The servant said that only Jialan had been here today. He immediately realized that he had been tricked and held her hostage with a knife, forcing the people outside to show up.

Jin Qi, Jiugao, and Nanke arrived, and Jialan's neck was already bleeding.She took the opportunity to stab Lu Dalang with a needle. After breaking free, her hind legs were too weak to stand up, so she could only crawl to the corner little by little.The two sides fought, but Lu Dalang was defeated and finally committed suicide by caesarean section.When someone from the Army and Horses Division came, Jin Qi asked Nan Ke to send Jialan to give medicine first, and then he followed Jiugao to see the commander Liu Xiaochuan.When examining the body, he found a transverse incision on the deceased's abdomen and thick calluses between the toes, and suspected that the deceased was a Japanese pirate.

Against The Current

Jin Qi then visited Jialan and asked about the details of the house.She also judged that Lu Dalang was not like a businessman, so she told what she saw.Combining these clues, Jin Qi confirmed the identity of the other party and speculated that this group of people wanted to transport cotton to Japan. There might be officials in the DPRK and China colluding, and the ship was likely to leave in the next two days.Jialan had nightmares at night and was afraid that she was too strong.Gantang told her that she had received a reward of fifteen taels of silver for rescuing the siege last time, so she did not have to be married off by her family in exchange for a bride price for her brother.Her first appearance really saved herself.
