Thoughts about the Mask Man

Xiangyi

Who do you think the mask man is??

I think the masked man is definitely Ping Jin's butler, Zhuang. Or I think it could be Cao Jiang Xian who appeared in the last scene of episode 12.

Because I expect the unexpected, I think the masked man is actually the mastermind behind the killing of Zang Hai's family. He wanted to find the hidden treasure so he used Zang Hai to obtain it, while also using him to eliminate the two persons he no longer needed who's also threatening his safety/interest.

Or maybe he's actually from another country who wants to shake and ruin the Ming dynasty foundation. There are already 3 important people down. And at least another 3 (+1 if the masked man and the mastermind are two different people) to be brought down. Maybe Dongxia people since FL is a Dongxia princess and owns a lot of entertainment shop that's like information center and later she could be forced to pick side to escalate the game. Is crossdresser Mr Eight also come from another country? There's nothing being mentioned so far, maybe I missed it.

Just a theory.

My guess is that the masked man is Zhao Bingwen, the Minister for Revenue shown attending the Empress Dowager's funeral. He seems to be a high ranking official and somehow the way he walked struck me like looking like the masked man. Also the masked man walks with a limp and during the Empress Dowager's funeral, Zhao Bigwen got up more slwoly compared to the others. Also in the cast list Mr Eight  real name is Zhao Tonger.  And I saw cfans theories that she might be the duaghter of Zhao Bingwen She seems to be the daughter of a high ranking official as she was able to enter the women's quarters of the palace where Xiang Antu was being taught. Adding in that masked man says that Zanghai will meet his contact at Zhenlu. We assume the contact was Master Gaoming but later Xiang Antu tells Mr Eight that she insisted on telling the story of the Empress Dowager, so what if the actual contact was Mr Eight.

My guess is Eunuch Cao Jingxian

Can't be the Eunuch.

Can't be the housekeeper of the Marquis.

It has to be the third person in the equation who worked for the emperor?

Zang Hai and the emperor had met during his meeting with Xiang.  The emperor pretended to be the owner of the Zhen Tower at that time.

No, I compared his voice to his Gao Shifu and both voices sound alike!

I don’t understand Chinese, so I can’t focus on the subtitles if I watch with audio.

just info there is eng audio on youku, but of course sounds weird , the voice of western people are not suitable for chinese ancient drama.

Gao Ming? isnt there a scene where a masked man and Gao Ming appear together?

after thinking a while, the character relationship chart does not have this butler Zhuang Shan, while he is important character because show up frequently

I used to think the masked man is the third culprit, but I rewatched the episodes and I’m thinking it may be the butler. He’s cramping and the masked man wore a walking stick when he came to take Zhinu to the capital. Also, he would’ve easily be able to snatch the thing from the incense burner. But I still can’t understand how he was related to Zhinu’s father.

What if the masked man is Queen of DongXia?

Quote

Definitely not Gao shifu.  

Not the Queen of Dongxia.

The only person in the drama who is crippled is the butler of the Marquis.  He seems to be matching the description.
