Gu Jiusi was beaten, and Huang Longfei and others treated him abnormally, so Gu Jiusi recognized Huang Longfei as the person who beat him through his shoes. And the reason why they made a 180-degree turn in their attitude towards themselves was because of Fan Yu. Gu Jiusi originally wanted to hide the fact that he was beaten, but was still discovered by Mu Nan and Liu Yuru. Liu Yuru ordered Yin Hong to ask Mu Nan to hire a few men to come over, and they beat Huang Longfei masked in the alley. Mu Nan and Liu Yuru were very happy to vent their anger on Gu Jiusi, but the smiles on their faces disappeared in an instant, because Gu Jiusi was standing in front of them, and they had a panoramic view of their actions. This person also beat him, but Liu Yuru was not very happy. She felt that instead of being popular, Gu Jiusi might as well go home and eat a soft meal.

Gu Jiusi thinks that Huang Longfei not only doesn't admire the rich and powerful, but is also very righteous. If he can repay his grievances with kindness and resolve the conflict between him and himself, maybe he and Huang Longfei can still become friends. Gu Jiusi was assigned to garrison Yingmao. He saw Mr. Zhao's family Jin Ye was going out of the city with paperwork. Later, Gu Jiusi got to know Zhao Sanye roughly through the little beggar. Gu Jiusi suspected that Mr. Zhao's people were not transporting medicinal materials out of the city, because the ruts were too deep and ordinary medicinal materials were not heavy enough, so there would never be such deep ruts. He decided to sneak into the warehouse where Mr. Zhao stored medicinal materials to find out. It turned out that these bags contained rice.

Gu Jiusi also eavesdropped on the conversation between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Hu, and learned that Mr. Xia and Mr. Fan were taking care of him. Mr. Zhao stole the grain in the official treasury for the day, filled it with rotten millet, and transported the good grain out of the city. After Gu Jiusi was discovered, he escaped from the warehouse. Before he told Envoy Fan Jiedu and General Zhou about the incident, Mr. Zhao ordered Liu Yuru and Yin Hong to be arrested first. Gu Jiusi was taken to meet Zhao Sanye, who said that as long as Gu Jiusi let his food convoy leave the city tomorrow, then Liu Yuru and Yin Hong would return safely, otherwise their lives in Heifengzhai would be in jeopardy. Zhao Sanye sent people to watch Gu Jiusi's movements. For him, Gu Jiusi must die, but he couldn't die at his hands. It's time for the people from Heifengzhai to come in handy.

Seeing Liu Yuru's beauty, Shen Ming, the second head of Heifeng Village, spoke a little presumptuously. Liu Yuru was terrified in her heart, but she didn't admit cowardice, she could tell that Shen Ming just had the air of a bandit, not a heinous person. His every move was being watched, Gu Jiusi was in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do. If the grain is released out of the city, then Youzhou will be over, but if you don't follow what Mr. Zhao said, then Liu Yuru's life will be in danger. Shen Ming wanted Liu Yuru to be his daughter-in-law wholeheartedly, except for his language, he didn't make any moves. The next day, Gu Jiusi released Jin Ye's convoy from the factory, and the little beggar got his signal and handed a letter and a sachet to Zhou Ye in the army.

After dawn, Liu Yuru picked up the knife and wanted to escape quietly with Yin Hong, but Shen Ming was just pretending to sleep. Liu Yuru took out the knife, but before she could hold the knife firmly, Shen Ming threw it against the wall. Gu Jiusi went to Heifeng Village alone. Zhao Sanye was very proud, thinking that Gu Jiusi would definitely die, and then he could sit back and relax. The little beggar, the sachet and the letter were delivered, and Zhou Ye learned that Mr. Zhao had colluded with Hu Heng, the grain supervisor, to smuggle the grain reserves out of Youzhou.
