One Stone and Two Birds (Pinyin: Yi Shi Er Niao) is a 2005 Taiwanese film directed by Kevin Chu.
Plot
During the reign of Jiajing Emperor of the Ming dynasty, the evil court official Yan Song relies on the emperor favoritism towards him, becoming overbearing and domineering. An honest official Zhang Yinglong impeaches Yan Song with a "Ten Cimes Five Deceits" against him. But instead he gets flogged 30 times, and banished to a far off frontier Guizhou.
Zhang Yinglong's remonstration won the hearts of the common people, on the day of his banishment thousands of people turned out to see him off. At the sight of this, Yan Song knows that if he does not kill off Zhang Yinglong, he will be unable to deter other court officials. Thereupon, he arranges for assassins to kill Zhang Yinglong during the journey.
In Guizhou, between the high mountain ridge lies a small relay station. Because this place is far off and also not deemed an important area by the government, therefore the relay station has become run-down. The relay station is managed by two young people, Shi Yipao and Bu Deliao, and also Zeng Wuliao. Shi Yipao seems like a person who feels that he never gets enough sleep, and has a look of bewilderment on him every day. Bu Deliao and Zeng Wuliao are both are diligent, but they are kind of stupid looking. These three people have already spent six useless years in this boring place.
