Full of loopholes

The narrative logic is really full of loopholes: the original old master always keeps the treasure map and does not honor it, is he waiting for the New Year? How did Yang De notice geckos and toads when no one was performing martial arts? How did a gambler in Wanfa know the details of the crime scene? How does He Yuanxin sort out eyebrows with a candle tube? If so, why didn't Scorpion find the treasure and clean up the candle? How could a gecko be a head catcher when Yang De was worthless to accompany him? Toad knows the evil of the collusion between officials and businessmen, but also hears Wanfa accidentally retracted his confession, how can he submit to it without any doubt? The county master can put medicine in the wine to make the toad lose consciousness, and then carry him into the Wanzhenyi, so why not just put the poison in the wine to force a confession? As one of the worries of the county prince, when did the Da Song Laws and Regulations disappear? If you can hold the hand-painted confession of the fainted prisoner, why is this trouble in vain? Everyone knows that the five poisons are all evil, so how can Hong Wentong dare to compete with Li Hao in court? The centipede and the snake should not keep their mouths alive, but why can they leave the jailer and the devil to inform He Yuanxin? Why didn't Scorpion plan to leave when he got the treasure and no one knew his identity? Why bother to split equally with the centipede later? The snake claiming to be threatened by a scorpion is even more abrupt. How could he and the centipede's martial arts and family power allow this to happen? Yang De He Yuanxin is so smart, how could Ma Teng, who is completely inactive in the hall, not arouse a trace of suspicion? What's more ridiculous is that during the practice, Yang De and He Yuanxin practiced both of them at the same time. When they came to Hongfu Gate, they became two-on-two. How could they not think of this preparation?

The suspense aspect also makes people's appetite drop. When the main characters are very few, the identity of Scorpion will be unstable as a suspense, and when it is finally announced, it is even more ordinary, and the death is as light as a feather. Although the five poisons showed differences in the action, the imagination was still not enough, which made the fighting scenes uncomfortable. In the character image, Yang De, as a disciple of the five poisons, is simply a white lotus. His only motivation is to satisfy the master’s last wish to clean up the door, and his sense of existence is relatively low; if He Yuanxin does not look at the late stage goal of the Dubao branch, he will avenge Li Hao, and he will eventually use it. That money for the benefit of one party seems to be a perfect person with no shortcomings or weaknesses until the end; Ma Teng, as the biggest villain, has a sinister heart and two-sided, but inexplicably shows Bo's IQ; Tang Shankui is brave and helpless, Hong Wentong is forced to be helpless Li Hao’s motives are the most difficult to see, and doing good deeds without leaving a name will eventually become cannon fodder. Many of the logical problems described at the beginning are actually problems with the pattern of the story itself. Failing to see the unfeeling side of the rivers and lakes, the snake could not finally make the decision to start with the centipedes, nor could he see the warming side of the rivers and lakes, the gecko's feelings for the toads just came along as usual.

On the other hand, there are advantages too. The technology of quickly switching scenes in the lens is commendable, which weakens the texture of some studios. Hook throat sticks, piercing needles, needle clothes, red vests, yellow straw paper and water, these evil tastes of torture and torture are the most fresh. It creates a certain aura, and the rhythm is enough to make the audience righteously indignant at the public, but these advantages only dissipate in the end of this letter.

    Yang Tieh: That damn judge ought to pay as well!

    He Yuan-xin, Gecko: All judges are the same. If we kill him, the next one may be worse, and we can't kill them all. We'd better carry out Teacher's orders: find the money and use it well - try to atone for the clan's crimes.
