On the boat, Lu Zheng said that Li Wu should thank him for not putting him in a box and shipping him north when he was drunk. Li Wu asked him what he wanted, and Lu Zheng wanted him to enter the archives and find Song Heming’s Book of Impermanence. In the archives, Li Wu inadvertently opened a Book of Impermanence, and Chen Jizhen suddenly appeared, saying that Li Wu could search for rebels with it and rise step by step. In a blink of an eye, Chen Jizhen disappeared from sight. Li Wu handed the Book of Impermanence to Lu Zheng, who recognized it as a thorn of Nightfall with a ghost face, and the owner of the Book of Impermanence was Chen Jizhen. Lu Zheng remembered that officer Cao, who was in charge of the Ministry of War in Hongwu years, is now also in charge of the Ministry of War. Both were suspicious.

After leaving the prison, Lu Zheng secretly arrived at the Education Office and found that Li Wu had already arrived near his room. Li Wu told him that the official in charge of the transport dock was also at the Education Office tonight, and that this batch of goods was written as transport grain. The two left for the transport dock. Nightfall with a ghost face was watching them nearby. Not long after, Yuan Zhongdao received a secret report from Lu Zheng about intercepting military equipment at the dock in the secret room of the Bell Tower.

In a room in the mansion, Li Wu taught Shu Tang how to use chopsticks correctly. Shu Tang was very irritable because she couldn’t pick up mung beans with chopsticks. Seeing this, Li Wu quickly comforted Shu Tang and taught her how to use chopsticks step by step. At this moment, Lu Zheng came to knock on their door and told Li Wu that he had learned that there were rebels active in Jige Lane and asked Li Wu to go with him. In Ji'e Lane, Lu Zheng heard a group of children singing an unknown ballad and realized that they were talking about cutting fiefs.

At night, Li Wu, Lu Zheng and Shu Tang were sitting in the courtyard of the mansion talking. Shu Tang asked the two about their tasks for the day. Li Wu then told Shu Tang about the songs that have been circulating recently. After listening to Li Wu, Shu Tang seemed to be lost in thought. When she came back to her senses, she made an excuse to leave and left the two behind. In the room, Shu Tang told Li Wu that the song was actually a secret code for Ye Bu Shou’s secret meeting. Realizing that Lu Zheng was secretly standing outside the room trying to eavesdrop, Shu Tang put on her clothes and opened the door. Lu Zheng quickly pretended to be taking a walk to digest his food while Li Wu walked out of the room to help Shu Tang put on her clothes. Lu Zheng still didn’t want to leave so Shu Tang turned around and kissed Li Wu. Seeing this, Lu Zheng quickly left.

At Zhang’s silk shop, Zhang Junqing said that Officer Cao had lost the military handover order on the boat. Lu Zheng would definitely investigate this matter along the canal wharf and ordered his subordinates to find Wang Chongxi as a scapegoat. At Zhenfu Division, Si Xiangnan asked Li Wu how he planned to use the found military handover order and wanted him to bring it over for them to use. Li Wu said that the military handover order was with Lu Zheng and he would find a way to get it. At Document bank, Li Wu told Chen Jizhen that Si Xiangnan might have a backup plan. Chen Jizhen said that what Si Xiangnan had in his hands was definitely not physical evidence. With his reminder, Li Wu remembered Wang Kegong’s son Wang Chongxi.

At Zhenfu Division, Lu Yulin told Lu Zheng that tomorrow’s banquet at Zhenfu Division’s yamen was to celebrate his success in cracking down on smuggled weapons by rebels and that he had invited officials from six ministries. Lu Zheng could use the military handover order to find out who the real rebels were. Therefore, whoever was in charge of this case would definitely die without a doubt. So Lu Yulin wanted Li Wu to take charge of this case instead. It turned out that Lu Yulin had helped Li Wu earlier in order for him to die in place of Lu Zheng. After hearing this, Lu Zheng was very angry and wanted to leave. Lu Yulin told Lu Zheng that Li Wu had found out about Wang Chongxi but hadn’t told him yet.

In the mansion, the three of them were having dinner in the courtyard. Lu Zheng invited Li Wu and Shu Tang to go to Zhenfu Division’s yamen tomorrow for a banquet and use the military handover order to capture all the rebels. Li Wu and Shu Tang’s faces changed. Lu Zheng tried to find out if Li Wu had any other information, but Li Wu only said that he didn’t want to go to the banquet either but there was no other way at present. Lu Zheng put down his wine glass angrily and left.

Just then, Jin Yi Wei came to the door and said that the wife of the assistant invited Shu Tang to go to Danfeng Street together. The ladies arrived at Zhang’s silk shop where Zhang Junqing asked the shopkeeper to take the other ladies to see the fabrics. In the room, Shu Tang told Zhang Junqing that she and Li Dongfang were ambushed when they first arrived in Nanjing and suspected that there was a traitor in Ye Bu Shou. Zhang Junqing said that all his men needed to be investigated and gave Shu Tang a task.

In the mansion room, Shu Tang asked Li Wu to catch Wang Chongxi before Jin Yi Wei did, kill him and then switch the military handover order with him. Li Wu thought it was too risky but Shu Tang said that if other Ye Bu Shou members found out that Li Wu was replacing Li Dongfang, he would be in danger. Li Wu asked what good it would do him if he gave Wang Chongxi to Shu Tang. Shu Tang handed him her hairpin and Li Wu reluctantly took it.
