01x25 - Episode 25

[bunniefuu]

Mast! Lay down the mast!

Hurry up and get the rope!

Bow and stern face the banks! Quick!

Thousands of homes are brightly lit,

and the doors to them are wide open.

This is East Capital.

New wine from Sunyang Restaurant!

Welcome to enjoy it!

If you want to know what happens next,

wait until next time.

People from all over the world gather here,

and envoys from various countries come to communicate with the authorities.

[Riverside Code at Qingming Festival]

[Adapted from Ye Wenbiao's Novel Series of the Same Name]

[Episode 25]

[One should reflect on the world between rulers and subordinates,]

[parents and children, brothers and sisters, and husbands and wives]

[to see how many fall short in fulfilling their roles.]

[Cheng Hao from Northern Song Dynasty]

You must wish for a world

where people like you,

like me,

like Wen Yue,

like Sun Bo and Song Qiyu

would suffer less.

I do.

Of course, I do.

I knew it.

You, like Mr. Song,

are concerned about the whole country.

We still have a chance.

All we need is...

A chance?

Mr. Song sacrificed himself

to expose the exam fraud to the public.

Sun Bo gave his life

to destroy the evil forces controlling the property agency,

bringing a measure of justice to the people.

Ci gave her all

to uncover the crimes of Yayuan Mansion.

Justice and fairness

always come at a price.

I'm not afraid to pay that price!

Look at this tiny fishbone.

Though small,

if it gets stuck in the villain's throat,

it can still make him choke.

I'm willing to be that bone.

Zou Mian's ship carrying the rare stone

will pass under Rainbow Bridge tomorrow,

entering through the East Water Gate,

heading to meet the Emperor.

If he meets the Emperor

and regains his power,

our pursuit of justice and fairness

will never come true

in this lifetime.

So, let's ensure Zou Mian's ship

never crosses Rainbow Bridge.

Lady Wen, you're here.

Wen Yue?

Wen Yue,

why are you here?

I wanted to k*ll Zou Mian,

but I failed.

Oh...

Are you okay?

I...

I'm fine.

Wen Yue,

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have pushed you into seeking revenge.

We've just reunited as siblings.

Don't do anything so dangerous again.

But Luan Hui and his wife are dead,

so there's no one left to testify against Zou Mian.

Once the rare stone reaches the imperial palace,

he'll likely regain the Emperor's favor.

By then,

all your plans

will fall apart.

I don't care.

I've already lost all my family.

I cannot lose you too.

That old villain Zou Mian

will get what he deserves one day.

He's not worth risking your life for.

I won't allow

anything to happen to you again.

Do you really think so?

Wen Yue,

can you make me a meal?

Just for me.

Sure.

I'll make it for you.

That's great!

Can you do it tomorrow?

Sure.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Buyou,

I was worried Father hadn't eaten,

so I asked Yao He to make a few dishes.

Wen Yue isn't home,

but I'm here.

I can cook for Father.

It's fine.

If you can get Yao He to help,

it works too.

Then, during this time,

just ask Yao He to help out.

Okay.

Is there food for me?

Yes, there is!

Great.

There is.

Buyou.

I understand your situation.

If we all know Wen Yue's situation,

this family will fall apart.

Pretending we know nothing

is the only way to live in peace.

Don't worry.

As long as I'm here

and Wen Yue is here,

this family won't break apart.

Buyou,

when is Wen Yue coming back?

Soon.

Wen Yue

just has some personal matters.

Once they're resolved, she'll return.

The key is

making that old villain Zou Mian pay.

Making him pay...

Do you have a plan?

No,

I'm still thinking.

But I'll come up with something soon.

Let's call Father to eat.

I'm hungry too.

Alright.

Father!

Time to eat!

Time to eat, Father!

Father?

Buyou,

Father's not here.

Look.

- Did he go out? - He left this behind.

What a man!

Why does he keep making trouble?

Farewell letter...

Read the second part.

Do you understand what he would do?

[Farewell Letter]
Brothel...

"You ungrateful children!

Recent troubles have plagued our family.

Sibling disputes,

and marital discord.

As the head of the family,

I've disgraced our ancestors.

I have no face to live on.

Since I must leave,

I'll do so freely and happily.

I've decided to spend all our wealth,

visiting every brothel in East Capital,

drinking priceless wine when awake,

and resting on beauties' laps when drunk.

To die under flowers

and I'll be a carefree ghost..."

Have some fun...

"Don't miss me."

Buyou,

I heard the Emperor once bought wine here

to host a banquet for his ministers.

Yes.

Money flows here like water,

spent so fast that you don't even hear a splash.

- Sir, you're here. - Could Father really be here?

Have some fun...

Look at how serious he seems.

If he really is here,

then he has no sense of propriety.

Drink up!

Refill it!

Here, refill it for me!

Start!

Is that our father?

It looks like him,

but I'm not sure.

Let's go in and check.

My little peach...

I caught one...

I caught one!

Another one!

Don't move!

Why are you here?

Go back!

Go back, both of you!

Shh.

I didn't summon you here.

Hurry and leave!

Come on!

Sir,

are you together?

Shall I prepare another room for you?

- No need. - No, thanks.

Madam,

may I ask

how much silver will he need to pay for tonight?

Well,

we don't take silver as payment.

Just using this luxury room

costs ten liang of gold.

Alright.

I don't have enough money on me.

Here's the plan:

Later,

you take Father away first.

No way.

I can't leave you here alone!

Didn't you hear?

Ten liang of gold!

Show some backbone,

and take Father away.

If anything happens,

I'll handle it.

Enough!

Don't play any more games tonight!

Who is it?

It's nothing.

Let's go home first!

Don't leave!

What's going on?

Sir,

are the girls not serving you well?

How can they behave so improperly?

Calm down.

Come over here.

My daughter

is too spoiled.

She has a bad temper.

Come on,

let's go on!

Oh, you're the princess.

What princess?

Nonsense!

What a temper she has!

I already told you...

Princess,

escort His Majesty

back home.

- Time to leave. Let's go home! - Ban...

- Ban! - Let's go home!

I've not done having fun!

My little peach.

- It's fine... - Sir.

Take care!

My little fairy...

Take care!

My fairy!

Let's go!

- My clothes are still inside. - Forget them!

I've not done having fun!

Sorry about this.

Sorry to trouble you.

So,

how much do we owe you?

Please spare us!

You're embarrassing us.

If we have done anything wrong,

please forgive us.

Spare us, Sir!

Please!

All of you,

sorry for the intrusion.

Not a single coin was spent?

I don't understand it either.

That madam even called me a princess.

Could they really have mistaken Father

for the Emperor?

What's strange about that?

We are of the same royal bloodline.

That Eleventh Brother.

When he was young, he was reckless and carefree,

just like me.

Father, could you explain in detail?

Does he resemble you

in behavior or in appearance?

A bit of both.

Back then,

when Eleventh Brother was the Prince of Duan,

we often hung out together.

People frequently

mistook me for him.

So, does that mean

our family is closely related to the Emperor?

What close relation?

That Eleventh Brother

could never handle hearing the truth.

That's why I left.

Someone recommended him to the Empress Dowager

to make him the Emperor.

I wondered

if he could be Emperor,

why couldn't I?

And because of that comment,

he held a grudge against me

and made trouble for me everywhere.

I got so angry

that I left.

I've never interacted

with them since then.

Then why did you use his identity to go

to go to that den of luxury?

You can't blame me for that.

I didn't do it on purpose.

The moment I walked in,

they all dropped to their knees...

Please spare us!

...bowing and pleading.

You've got the wrong person.

You just look

a lot like His Majesty.

After all,

we are legitimate

royal family members!

Buyou,

don't get upset.

I won't go there again.

I've come up with a way to deal with Zou Mian.

Zheng, come here.

Plum Blossom Soup Noodles,

Lotus Stuffed Fish...

They're all our hometown dishes.

And this braised chicken.

It was your childhood favorite.

Do you remember?

Take a seat.

This first cup of wine

is for our parents.

If they knew from the afterlife

that we siblings had reunited,

they'd surely be overjoyed.

This second cup of wine

is my apology to you.

What are you apologizing for?

After seeing you,

I didn't reveal myself earlier.

Instead, I acted like a sneaky bounty poster.

I didn't know if you still remembered me

or if you'd even acknowledge me.

I could only hide

and watch you from a distance,

wondering how you've been all these years.

Until I saw Zhao Buyou

deliberately deceiving you,

I couldn't bear it.

Zhao Buyou

is your brother-in-law.

He must have had his reasons for keeping things from me.

If not for him taking me in,

would we even

be reunited today?

It's all thanks to him.

I understand his struggles.

I know there's a chasm

between you two.

Only the person who started the problem can resolve it.

I've thought of a good way

to reconcile you and him,

so there will be no more resentment between you two.

Our family

will live happily together.

What's your plan?

Tell me.

A few days ago,

I had a deep talk with Mo.

He wants to avenge his father.

How would he take revenge?

Of course,

by stopping Zou Mian from reaching the imperial palace.

But Mo is just a child.

How could he possibly stop Zou Mian?

And I was just a child too,

but I've done so much.

Mo is different.

I mean,

Mo is naive

and keeps everything bottled up.

Once he makes up his mind,

he will see it through.

Then let him do it!

Sorry.

But if he truly stops Zou Mian,

he'd not only avenge his father

but also redeem him.

Wouldn't that be k*lling two birds with one stone?

Zheng,

you're still not telling me

everything.

Wen Yue!

Do you know what day it is today?

What day?

Today

is my birthday.

Do you forget it?

Zheng,

I'm sorry.

From now on, I'll be with you

every year on your birthday.

But Mo's matter

can't wait even a moment.

How foolish of me.

Ban.

Wen Yue.

Where's Buyou?

I don't know.

I just got back.

Both Buyou and Father aren't home.

Alright. Let's go.

Follow me. We'll find Zhao Mo.

Quickly!

[The Office of Justice]

Mr. Yan!

Mr. Yan!

Is Zhao Mo not inside?

Mo isn't here.

By the way,

his colleagues said

he borrowed quite a bit of money earlier,

saying he needed to buy some materials.

We found this on his desk.

Take a look yourselves.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

No problem.

What is this?

Ban,

is it Rainbow Bridge in the drawing?

It seems so.

Niter and sulfur...

I just remembered,

these are ingredients for making gunpowder!

Zhao Mo once used them

to produce highly potent gunpowder.

Mr. Mo,

you managed to figure out a gunpowder recipe!

I only used a small amount,

and it was already so powerful.

Handle the quantities right.

Don't end up blowing up the bridge!

What exactly is he trying to do?

Rainbow Bridge is a critical route for Zou Mian to reach the imperial palace.

If Zhao Mo

is planning to stop him...

This is bad!

Quick, let's find Inspector Gu!

- Okay. - Listen to me!

- What's going on? - They're trying a corrupt official at the market today!

Exclusive scoop!

Tonight at the business center, Zou Mian will stand trial!

Zou Mian will stand trial tonight?

You all just go to see it.

It's bound to be an earth-shattering revelation!

You all have to see it!

Yes!

Let's all go!

Let's all head there.

Are we ready?

We're ready.

Tonight at the business center, enjoy a grand show!

Publicly trying corrupt officials, let justice glow!

Tonight at the business center, enjoy a grand show!

Publicly trying corrupt officials, let justice glow!

Tonight at the business center, enjoy a grand show!

Publicly trying corrupt officials, let justice glow!

Tonight at the business center, enjoy a grand show!

Publicly trying corrupt officials, let justice glow!

Tonight at the business center, enjoy a grand show...

Why has the ship stopped?

A small, blind boat

has blocked the way.

Deal with it quickly.

We mustn't delay presenting the treasure.

Understood.

Wait!

Leave.

Leave.

This flute music

carries a regal air,

not something played by an ordinary person.

Harmonious notes played on a jade flute...

The Emperor once played incognito

while traveling in the South.

It's the exact same tune they performed!

Where is the criminal Zou Mian?

The criminal

Zou Mian is here!

I told you the moment he sees me,

he'll have to kneel.

Father, stop talking.

Zou Mian,

get off the ship at once

and come forward to meet His Majesty!

At once!

Quickly, dock the ship!

Father,

he believed it.

Is it really the Emperor?

Could this be a trick?

I've seen the Emperor more than a dozen times.

How could I mistake him?

Buyou,

look.

I feel like my eyebrows

look too thick after you drew them.

No problem.

Your eyebrows

were drawn exactly like the portrait.

They're identical.

What about my hair?

Is it too black?

It's so dark out.

It all looks the same.

Still, I feel like

you cut my beard too short.

Trust me.

The beard was drawn exactly like the portrait too.

What are they whispering about?

This is exhausting.

Father,

sit up straight. - What's going on?

What...

what are they doing?

This is unbearable!

Hang in there.

It's almost done.

This doesn't feel right.

Don't forget,

you're the Emperor now.

The appearance of the Geng Yue Stone

is a heavenly blessing

anticipated by the entire court.

Criminal Zou Mian

humbly welcomes Your Majesty aboard

to accept the Geng Yue Stone,

bestowing fortune upon all the people!

Where could Zhao Mo be?

Boss,

we got news from the underground market today

that Zhao Mo bought a large amount of sulfur and niter.

He's dead set on blowing up the bridge.

Clear the area.

Yes, sir.

Tie Chi, Fei Jian.

Here!

Take our men

and secure both sides of Rainbow Bridge.

Ensure that all citizens

can only exit, not enter.

But with so many people,

we'll need...

we'll need some sort of justification.

With a divine blessing entering the capital

and the sacred stone crossing the bridge,

no one may stand above the stone.

Anyone who disobeys will be ex*cuted!

Understood!

Move!

All units,

with a divine blessing entering the capital

and the sacred stone crossing the bridge,

no one may stand above the stone.

Anyone who disobeys will be ex*cuted!

Make way!

Get off the bridge!

Get off the bridge!

Move quickly!

Hurry up!

Father,

I think they're starting to suspect something.

Don't turn around.

Let me handle this.

Zou Mian, how dare you!

His Majesty wants to see you,

and you're still not coming down immediately?

Father,

insult him.

You scoundrel!

Still not coming down immediately?

Insult him with authority!

You scoundrel!

He seems

a bit different

from the last time I saw the Emperor.

Is he here?

Can we

get a glimpse of His Majesty's face?

Zou Mian, how dare you!

Today, the Emperor graces you with His presence,

yet you're being so insolent!

Father, retreat!

Let's head to the shore first.

The raft is moving, heading to the shore.

They're running away?

So it was a trick after all.

I'll send someone to capture them immediately.

Guards!

Capture them!

Everyone, get off the bridge!

Have you seen Zhao Mo?

No sign of him anywhere.

I'm talking to you, did you hear me?

Hey, the one pushing the cart!

Get off the bridge!

I'm talking to you,

the one pushing the cart!

Get off the bridge immediately!

Tie Chi, Fei Jian,

stop the one pushing the cart!

Yes, sir!

Move quickly!

Off the bridge now!

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear the order?

Off the bridge now!

Get down!

Stop!

Archers, ready!

Quickly!

It's Zhao Mo!

Mo!

Zhao Mo!

Hurry!

Zhao Mo!

Put the things down first.

Come on, step off the bridge.

I have

six fire bombs here.

If I ignite them,

the entire bridge will blow up.

All of you, leave now.

Get down!

Inspector Gu,

let me talk to Mo.

Do you think talking to him now

will make any difference?

Mo is young and impulsive.

Get down!

He's taken the wrong path in a moment of panic.

Give him a chance.

He'll listen to me.

And if he doesn't listen to you?

Look at the people below the bridge.

You wouldn't want to harm them, would you?

- Give me the fire striker... - Get down!

If anything happens,

I'll take full responsibility.

Can you bear the consequences?

If something goes wrong,

the only one who can act is me.

Get down!

Fine.

Alright.

You have only this one chance.

I won't play with the lives

of so many people.

If you fail,

I will act.

Everyone, move back!

Thank you.

I'm going with you!

- Ban! - Stay there, Ban!

Zhao Mo...

Wen Yue is here.

Mo,

what are you doing?

Don't act rashly.

Listen to me.

Put down the fire striker.

Wen Yue,

I'm sorry.

Ban and I apologize to you.

Once Zou Mian's ship

arrives,

I'll light the fire bombs,

blow up Rainbow Bridge,

and stop the stone from entering the palace.

Then I'll have avenged you.

Mo,

I've never held anything against you.

No matter whose child you are,

you're my brother,

my family.

I never thought about revenge,

and I don't need you

to do anything for me.

Listen to me, Zhao Mo.

Put down the fire striker.

Now.

Stay back, Wen Yue!

Don't come any closer!

Don't come any closer...

I'm doing all this

not just for you,

but also for Sun Bo,

and for Ding Dan.

Against people like them,

what else can we do?

Is there no justice in this world?

Are the lives of the poor

so easily trampled on?

They were all victims of Zou Mian.

I once made a pact with Ding Dan

to plead for the people,

to join the government for the common good.

I will be another Detective Dee...

Then I'll be another Zhang Jianzhi!

But Zou Mian has committed so many crimes,

why has he never been punished?

There

is no justice in this world.

With my blood, I will stain the rare stone.

With my body, I will pave the righteous path!

This is the path I've chosen.

Zhao Mo,

get a hold of yourself.

I don't want to discuss righteousness with you now.

Your life

was saved by our father and your brother,

and raised by me with ten years of toil!

Your life

is meant for something greater!

What's the point of blowing up some stone?

k*ll one Zou Mian,

and there will be another.

If you're not afraid of death,

then why not live boldly instead?

Step by step, we can change the world.

Mo,

I also want to see

the better world you dream of.

Let's face life together.

The ship is almost here.

I can't let it all fail now!

Wen Yue,

being part of the Zhao family

and being your and Buyou's younger brother

has been enough for me

in this lifetime.

Wen Yue, please leave.

Please leave now!

I beg you, please leave!

At your coming-of-age ceremony,

you knelt before me,

saying it wasn't easy for me to raise you for ten years

and that half of your life belongs to me.

Doesn't that make me half a mother to you?

If you die,

how will I go on?

If today,

you insist on blowing up this bridge,

then I'll stay here with you!

On the path to the afterlife, I'll walk with you!

In the next life, let's be family again!

I beg you, Zhao Mo!

Wen Yue,

I'm sorry.

All right.

Wen Yue...

Wen Yue...

Mo,

I'm utterly disappointed in you.

It's over.

Everything is over.

Move!

Stop!

I have firebombs here.

Zheng,

you didn't listen to me after all.

You brat, what are you doing?

The ship has already passed!

Wen Yue,

How I wish you had come for me.

But alas, you didn't.

You think I'm different from Zhao Mo,

so I'll join him and die with that old villain.

But you won't give me this chance.

Do you know how dangerous it is here?

You risked your life to save Mo.

Are you abandoning me again?

Who are you really,

Su Yue or Wen Yue?

Who do you truly call family?

My brother

is Su Zheng,

not He Huan.

I...

Spare him! Don't sh**t!

Su Zheng

already died on that fateful road of escape.

For twenty years,

to transport these damned rare stones,

how many laborers have been k*lled?

How many toilers have died?

The people along the riverbanks have been displaced.

Everywhere these stones pass,

they leave behind only bones!

The splendor of the East Capital,

the so-called divine blessing,

are built upon the blood and tears of the people!

In such a world,

only evil can counter evil.

If all those Su Zhengs

had survived,

today,

they'd all be He Huan.

Zheng...

It's okay.

Wen Yue.

Here, take this back.

Tie Chi, Fei Jian!

Zheng!

Zheng!

Zhao Mo...

Zhao Mo...

Let's go home.

Look at him, still so young...

Boss,

something's happening over there.

Make way!

Everyone,

please remain calm.

Since I've gathered you here,

just get your brushes and ink ready.

There's bound to be shocking revelations soon.

What shocking revelations?

We've been waiting forever!

Be patient.

Excuse me, make way!

Who's this guy?

You know the Governor, right?

The Governor is here!

Didn't I tell you

there'd be big news?

The Governor himself is here!

It must be big!

I'm here to watch the play.

Why did you seat me on the stage?

Father, trust me.

For this play,

you're sitting in the best seat.

You and your clever ideas!

Here they come!

Everyone knows

that I often tell stories

here at the business center.

In the past,

I mostly told historical tales.

Today,

I'll be inviting a young talent

to join me in recounting

a tale of past secrets.

A tale of past secrets...

Please stay and enjoy the performance.

I thank you all in advance.

Let us welcome this talented guest,

Zhao Buyou!

Who's Zhao Buyou?

Never heard of him.

Zhao Buyou...

Who is he?

Who?

Never heard of him.

Never heard of him.

Never heard of this guy.

Who is he?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am Zhao Buyou, a litigator from Xiangran Street.

It is a great honor to share the stage

with Mr. Li today.

Mr. Li,

please, go ahead.

More than twenty years ago,

a corrupt official in the South,

hoping to curry favor with the Emperor,

planned to present a treasure to the palace.

However,

the South and the East Capital

are thousands of miles apart.

Transporting a treasure

was no easy feat.

What could he do?

A corrupt official always has their schemes.

He seized military ships

and converted them into cargo ships.

Here's a blueprint of the modifications.

On this ship,

there are multiple rows of oars.

It's clearly a warship.

But

how could a private shipyard

have blueprints for a warship?

This corrupt official was truly bold.

Illegally modifying military ships

is a capital offense!

He seized military ships and converted them into cargo vessels.

He dared to do such a thing!

He, too,

feared that this would be exposed.

But later,

a shipbuilder named Su Zhi

discovered his crime.

To cover his tracks,

this corrupt official brutally m*rder*d

Su Zhi and his entire family.

k*lled them?

He k*lled to silence them!

Such cruelty!

This is truly horrifying.

A tragedy beyond words!

What an evil man!

Utterly despicable!

Later on,

this corrupt official, through his presentation of treasures to the palace,

was promoted and amassed great wealth.

Before long,

he became a tyrant of the South.

To facilitate the transport of treasures,

he intensified his oppression:

Tearing down bridges, destroying roads,

and marking off areas with imperial seals.

The people were displaced,

suffering beyond measure.

In this world,

where such corrupt officials exist,

there must also

be upright and loyal ministers.

Were there still such righteous men?

At the time,

the Deputy Transport Commissioner, Li,

was such a virtuous official.

He repeatedly reported to impeach this corrupt official,

vowing to rid the people of their oppressor.

Did he succeed in bringing him down?

Li persistently impeached him,

but achieved nothing.

He decided to personally go to the palace to file a complaint.

But who would've thought,

word got out,

and the corrupt official

harbored murderous intent,

resorting to vile measures.

[Taking Justice into His Own Hands]
Not only did he cruelly k*ll Li,

but he also severed his head

and replaced his head with a pig's head.

A pig's head as a substitute!

Are you referring to Li Yan,

the honorable Sir Li?

That's correct.

Sir Li

was truly a good man!

There was another official

named Dong Qian.

Due to his mother's severe illness,

he was long subjected

to the oppression and threats of the corrupt official,

forced to commit

[Silence Su Zhi]
many grievous acts

[The chief worker at the Taihu Shipyard]
against his conscience!

After his mother's death,

Dong Qian

decisively severed ties

[Variety Theater]
with the corrupt official.

But what happened to him later?

What happened?

Dong Qian

and his entire family

were massacred.

Such inhumanity!

Mr. Li,

what you're recounting

is truly shocking.

Could there really be

such vile officials in this world?

Not only do they exist,

but this corrupt official

is right here today!

Who? Where is he?

Bring him out!

Let's see him!

Bring him out!

Bring him out!

Present the criminal,

Zou Mian!

This man

is none other than the Southern Manufacturing Bureau's

Zou Mian!

What's going on?

[Fashion in Song Dynasty]

[Song Dynastypedia]

[Zhang Zeduan Painted a Snapshot of Song Society. Narrator: Shi An]

[Cultivating Virtue and Talent]
Everyone knows

"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival",

but do you know which category

of painting it belongs to?

In fact, Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"

belongs to a category of Chinese traditional painting called "ruler painting".

It refers not only to a painting subject

but also to a painting technique,

[Ruler Painting]
meaning paintings made using a ruler.

Ruler painting is essentially

a fascinating form of cartography

that connects human imagination with reality.

It vividly depicts

environments and architectural details

and can serve as a design or conceptual drawing.

It's worth noting

that historically,

there isn't much documentation about Zhang Zeduan.

Art historian Xu Jianrong remarked

that Zhang Zeduan's name

doesn't appear

in most historical art records.

Only because he left us the scroll

"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"

do we know

that there was such an artist

during the late Northern Song Dynasty.

It can be said

that Zhang Zeduan and his "Riverside Scene"

are rare and captivating enigmas

in art history.
