Apr 6, 2023

In the Mu Mansion ten years ago, Mu Jinggao's family members were escorted back to the Zhenfu Division, but the Mu family sisters were left behind. In the end, the elder sister was sent to the Jiaofang Division, and the younger sister was sent to the Imperial Prison, and the sisters were separated.

In Wang Kegong's mansion, Lu Zheng wondered how Li Wu could escape. Li Wu suggested a bet that if Lu Zheng got to the roof first, he would know everything. When the two reached the roof, Li Wu lied that he had a secret order to hold back Lu Zheng, and handed the Yu Ming lock to Lu Zheng, asking him to keep the fish lock. It turned out that Li Wu planned to hand over Yu Mingsuo to Lu Zheng for safekeeping, and then steal it back when he needed it.

The epiphyllum banquet held in the back garden of Wang Kegong's mansion ended, Wang Kegong sent the guests out of the mansion, and Li Wu took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the cipher text. At this moment, Lu Zheng was called to the garden by his servants, and Li Wu stole Yu Mingsuo back while helping Lu Zheng tidy up his clothes.

In the garden, Lu Zheng told Wang Kegong his life experience. When Wang Kegong looked at Lu Zheng with emotion, Lu Zheng took the opportunity to ask about the past between Wang Kegong and his father. At this time, Ye Bushou rushed down from the roof and killed Wang Kegong with Lu Zheng's saber. When Li Wu arrived, Ye Bushou asked him to hand over Yu Mingsuo or he would kill Lu Zheng. Seeing this, Li Wu had to take out Yu Mingsuo, and suddenly Shu Tang came to fight the assassin. Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Wu put Yu Mingsuo back into his arms, and left through the gap in the west courtyard wall.

Wang Kegong died, and the servants opened the gate to escape, but found many Jinyi guards standing in front of the gate. It turned out that Si Xiangnan brought his subordinates here. Jin Yiwei came to the garden and found that Wang Kegong was dead. Si Xiangnan learned that the blood on Lu Zheng's saber belonged to Wang Kegong, so he asked his subordinates to record in the impermanence book that Lu Zheng killed Wang Kegong, saying that the saber was the murder weapon.

In the Wenhua Palace, when Yuan Zhongdao was speaking for Emperor Zhu Yunqi, the secret letter was handed to Yuan Zhongdao. Yuan Zhongdao angrily reprimanded Lu Zheng for his behavior, and Zhu Yunwen allowed Si Xiangnan to thoroughly investigate whether there is any rebellious party in the Zhenfu Division.

After Li Wu successfully left Yingtian Mansion by bribing the city gate officers and soldiers, he ran to the mountains, buried Yu Mingsuo under a big tree, and tied the cloth strips on his body to the tree as a mark. In the backyard of Wang Kegong's mansion, Jin Yiwei searched and found a memorial tablet of the rebellious party Song Heming in the box. Si Xiangnan planned to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Lu Yulin in one fell swoop and take the position of commander.

Zhang Ji silk and satin shop, Zhang Junqing changed his night clothes, dressed up and walked into the secret room of the bell tower, and Yuan Zhongdao also entered the secret room to meet her. Zhang Junqing told Yuan Zhongdao the whereabouts of Yu Mingsuo and Li Wu's origin. It turned out that five years ago, Yuan Zhongdao rescued the Mu family's sister Zhang Junqing from the Jiaofang Division. Zhang Junqing was determined to find out the truth about the ruin of the Mu family and was willing to be sent by Yuan Zhongdao. Yuan Zhongdao saw that Zhang Junqing killed Wang Kegong because he wanted to exchange the secrets of the Mu family with Yu Mingsuo. In fact, Zhang Junqing pretended not to accept him at night, and Mr. Qian, who did not accept him at night, was also a member of Yuan Zhongdao. Yuan Zhongdao asked Zhang Junqing to kill Li Dongfang, and Zhang Junqing had to agree to show his loyalty.

In the school grounds of the Zhenfu Division, Xie Kengran bribed the guards with food and wine, while Lu Zheng silently explained the funeral. Not long after, the guard left suddenly with abdominal pain. Xie Kengran took the opportunity to untie the rope for Lu Zheng and let him go to Yangzhou to hide from the limelight. Lu Zheng was unwilling to leave, saying that Li Wu could prove his innocence. Xie Kengran tied Lu Zheng back to the stake and set out to look for Li Wu.

Under the guidance of the waiter in the shop, Xie Kengran came to Ji'e Alley. At this time, Uncle Wang and Li Wu walked into the city gate. Uncle Wang saw Jin Yiwei checking people, so he stepped forward and fell to attract Jin Yiwei's attention. Li Wu took the opportunity to return to his residence, packed his things and wanted to escape, but was stopped by Si Xiangnan's subordinates. He took out the cloth that Li Wu had dropped in the garden, and wanted to restrict Li Wu for the rest of his life with the secret that Li Wu had been in the imperial prison. Xie Kengran followed the Jin Yiwei to Li Wu's residence, just in time to see Li Wu leave in disguise. Xie Kengran followed Li Wu closely, but Li Wu sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape.
