In the 25th year of Hongwu, the Crown Prince died and the situation was turbulent. In the prison of the Zhenfu Division, it was raining heavily outside. Three children ran out of the door and Song Heming followed closely behind and quickly locked the door. Young Song Zhen asked Shu Tang to leave quickly and then turned back to find someone. He saw his father being killed by Li Wu with a bloody dagger. Song Zhen wanted to catch Li Wu for revenge but was injured in the back by him. Li Wu escaped and Song Zhen became the son of a criminal and changed his name to Lu Zheng.

Ten years later, in Ji’e Alley, Li Wu covered a little boy who was stealing and hiding from being caught. He planned to take away the money he stole as a reward. The boy couldn’t get it back and cried loudly. Li Wu saw this and bought him a bunch of buns. Uncle Wang, who was standing next to the restaurant, handed Li Wu a map of Wang Kegong’s mansion. Li Wu was satisfied with the map and wanted to invite Uncle Wang to drink and eat meat in the restaurant but found that he only had one copper coin. He saw that Sister Meng, the owner of the restaurant, was unwilling to give him food so he had to leave.

On the other side, the little boy left only one bun and gave it to other beggars. While walking around on the road, he was caught by a catcher because he bumped into him. The little boy begged for mercy but the catcher still refused to let him go. Li Wu wanted to quietly pass by, but the thought of his childhood experience appeared because of the little boy’s appearance. Li Wu couldn’t help turning around and pretending to be Jin Yi Wei, calling the boy as a grandson lost by an official and making up a story that he was looking for him. The catcher apologized immediately. Li Wu fooled him successfully and changed his clothes with himself and the little boy at Zhangji Silk Shop. After leaving Zhangji Silk Shop, Li Wu asked the little boy to find Sister Meng at the restaurant to do odd jobs for her tomorrow and help him find someone with a knife wound on his back because he hoped to meet that person someday.

On April 25th of the third year of Jianwen, Lu Zheng, the Jin Yi Zong Qi, burned incense and got drunk after reminding by his subordinate Xie Kengran to work night shift. They left together. Inside the Jiaofang Division, Lu Zheng and Xie Kengran came to find Lei Zhen, the Jin Yi Zong Qi. The subordinate lied that he was handling a case and advised Lu Zheng not to bother him. Lu Zheng refused to leave. The two of them worked together to knock down the guards at the door and entered the room. Lei Zhen had already jumped out of the window and escaped, leaving only three tortured women in the room. Lu Zheng walked out of the room and recorded Lei Zhen’s bad behavior in his book.

In the Zhenfu Division, Lu Zheng handed over his book to his adoptive father Commander Daren, and reported Lei Zhen’s behavior. At this moment, Lei Zhen and his father came over. Lu Zheng’s adoptive father brought them into the room for a drink and asked Lu Zheng to tear up his book. After drinking, Lu Zheng’s adoptive father and Lei Zhen’s father stood aside discussing while Lei Zhen mocked Lu Zheng and said that he had taken over the position of Baihu that he had been thinking about.

After they left, Lu Zheng secretly abducted Lei Zhen and locked him in a box on a boat before leaving quickly. Back at the Zhenfu Division, Lu Zheng burned incense in front of his father Song Heming’s tablet. His adoptive father remembered saving an injured Lu Zheng ten years ago and Lu Zheng said that he killed his own father ten years ago for letting go of a child so he didn’t want to let go of any evil person ten years later. He burned one page of his book recording Lei Zhen’s crimes while saying this.

At night, the soldiers at the city gate were about to close the gate when a man on horseback arrived. It turned out that this person was Li Dongfang. Xie Kengran came to the temple to remind Lu Zheng to work night shift. The two of them went to a restaurant in Jiege Lane for dinner. Lu Zheng told Xie Kengran that there were suspected deserters from the north who had come to Jiege Lane recently. While they were eating, a porter sat down next to them. They heard that the porter had a northern accent and deliberately let him take away the book on the table. The porter handed the book to Shu Tang and followed Shu Tang’s orders to pass a message to Li Dongfang. Lu Zheng and Xie Kengran secretly followed the porter onto a small boat by the river.

On the other side, Li Wu came to Zuixian Building and learned from the waiter that all the guests of Wang Kegong’s mansion were staying in this restaurant. Li Wu had just sat down in the lobby when he saw Li Dongfang sitting at another table. Halfway through, Li Dongfang accidentally dropped Wang’s invitation card. The waiter reminded Li Dongfang to put away the invitation card. Li Wu learned that he could not enter Wang Kegong’s mansion without an invitation card.
