Kill My Sins Episode 4 Recap

Du Liang tried to interrogate Yuan Shaocheng about the whereabouts of the military funds but gained no useful information. Just as he was about to kill Yuan Shaocheng, Yuan Shaocheng managed to buy some time, and Du Liang gave him five days to find the funds. Before leaving, Yuan Shaocheng asked Qi Junshan where he had learned that the Qi Tai Dfang was hiding the military funds. This could help him figure out who framed him.
In the dead of night, Yuan Shaocheng, covered in injuries, was sent back to the gate of Yuan's mansion. He told his older brother, Yuan Hesheng, not to act rashly against Du Liang yet, as it wasn’t the time to sever ties completely. Lu Danxin came to inform Ye Ping'an that Yuan Shaocheng had been released. Ye Ping'an knew that Yuan Shaocheng was someone who would take revenge, so she had Lu Danxin notify Uncle Gui to return.
She feared that, for tonight, moving the military funds from the riverbed wouldn’t be possible. Yuan Hesheng’s wife, Bai Sheng, was furious when she saw Yuan Shaocheng’s injuries. She blamed him, thinking that if he hadn’t allied with Du Liang’s group, he wouldn’t have faced such a fate. She couldn’t understand why Yuan Hesheng and Yuan Shaocheng had changed so much after returning from the battlefield, now always thinking about power and influence.
Bai Sheng was angry with Yuan Hesheng, and she swore that if he ever came back injured like Yuan Shaocheng, she wouldn’t shed a single tear for him. Lu Danxin, knowing that Ye Ping'an couldn’t sleep, took her hand, just like her mother had done when she was young, to comfort her and help her fall asleep. Following Yuan Shaocheng’s instructions, Yuan Hesheng captured Qi Junshan’s subordinate, A Rong, and beat him to extract information about the Wanguo Xiang clues.
Ni Chang was being watched. She had just shaken off her pursuers when she was knocked out with a cloth and woke up to find herself face to face with Yuan Shaocheng. Ye Ping'an had been waiting for Ni Chang but instead found Yuan Shaocheng. Yuan Shaocheng casually brought up the Censor case, mentioning that both Zheng Yuan and Du Liang had been promoted from Tongquan County to the capital as officials.
He couldn’t help but speculate that these two might have been involved in the arson and abduction of women by Yu Qian, and Ye Ping'an was one of the lucky survivors. He thought Ye Ping'an might want revenge on them. Ye Ping'an neither denied nor confirmed this. Even though Yuan Shaocheng’s guesses were bold, he had no concrete evidence. However, Ye Ping'an still shared her plan with him—how she hid the military funds and intended to move them to Mangou.
She proposed they cooperate. Li Jun led a team to search the mountains, only to discover that the cave didn’t contain the military funds. Realizing they had been tricked, he became enraged. By this time, the funds had already been secretly moved through an underground passage to Mangou. Yuan Shaocheng ordered Uncle Gu to send someone to guard the entrance of the passage and watch over the military funds.
Uncle Gu understood the wide implications of this matter and advised Yuan Shaocheng to hand over the funds in a couple of days to take credit for it. However, Yuan Shaocheng had a bigger plan. Born into a lowly status, he had always been looked down upon by those in power. His father, in an attempt to escape from the low status, participated in a dragon gate competition, defeated his opponent but suffered severe injuries and soon passed away.
Yuan Shaocheng's mother also died shortly after. This hardened Yuan Shaocheng’s resolve to climb to positions of power, so that he could step on those who considered themselves nobility, and provide a better life for the people of Mangou. Through Ni Chang, Ye Ping'an learned that Wu Xianer had been secretly meeting Qi Junshan at Wanguo Xiang. Ye Ping'an sent someone to falsely relay a message to distract Qi Junshan, asking for Wu Xianer's help.
Wu Xianer, being from the Wu family, naturally wouldn’t get involved directly, as that would fuel rumors of discord between the Wu and Li families. However, she could recommend someone to help Ye Ping'an—Hai Yiping, the Minister of Personnel. Wu Xianer asked Ye Ping'an to pass on a message to Hai Yiping’s residence. The message itself seemed innocuous, but the true purpose was to use it as an excuse to ask for Hai Yiping’s assistance.
Lu Danxin saw that Ye Ping'an’s medicine pouch was worn and old and offered to make her a new one. She asked what design Ye Ping'an would like to have embroidered on it. Since her surname was Ye, Ye Ping'an decided to have Lu Danxin embroider leaves on the pouch.
