Lu Zheng stood aside and watched Zhang Junqing and found that many little girls came to get eggs. The little girl wanted to take the eggs home. When Zhang Junqing asked her, she said that she had four brothers at home. Zhang Junqing taught her that she had to eat before she could fight for herself.

By the river, a pleasure boat came, and Lu Zheng helped Zhang Junqing onto the boat. On the boat, Lu Zheng asked Zhang Junqing why she only gave eggs to girls. Zhang Junqing told him that she had lost her sister ten years ago and had been looking for her for ten years but couldn’t find her. She had always wanted to be a court official since she was a child but only realized when she grew up that women were always excluded from the court. Until she met someone who saved her. Lu Zheng said that he was also a criminal and was lucky to have met several noble people. His friend Xie Kengran was killed by rebels wearing ghost masks in Guan Yin Mountain, and he would avenge those who died unjustly.

The Jin Yi Wei took Li Wu to his residence in Ji’e Lane. Lu Zheng untied him and told him that Li Wu’s protection of officials would lead to another war because military equipment would flow into Beiping. Li Wu was angry and said that he had done something wrong and was threatened by others to work for the rebels. Lu Zheng handed him his resignation letter and asked him to leave. Li Wu said that he wanted to get rid of his past without guilt, but Lu Zheng ignored him and left.

In the wooden house in the mountains, Li Dongfang asked his subordinates to deliver the letter to the Antique Studio. The subordinate was puzzled that Zhang Junqing almost killed him, but Li Dongfang still believed her. Li Dongfang said that if Zhang Junqing had missed by an inch when she swung her sword, he would have been dead long ago. However, Song Tianyi, who had fought with him since the 30th year of Hongwu, really wanted to kill him.

At Zhangji Silk Shop, Zhang Junqing told Song Tianyi that her original surname was Mu and she was saved by Yuan Zhongdao, the current Wenhua Dian University Scholar in the Jiaofang Division. She insisted on staying by his side not only to repay him but also to find out the truth and find her sister. Yuan Zhongdao had promised her that he would tell her all the truth as long as she found the Fish Eye Lock. Song Tianyi said that he didn’t care about Zhang Junqing’s identity; he only cared about her. Song Tianyi asked Zhang Junqing to step down from the position of Nanjing Qianzong and promised to help her get the Fish Eye Lock.

At a restaurant in Ji’e Lane, Wang Shu told Li Wu that there was a big deal to be made and took him to a restaurant. Song Tianyi took out a picture of the Fish Eye Lock and asked Li Wu to help him steal it back. Li Wu said that he hadn’t stolen anything for a long time and turned around and left. Li Wu walked out of the city gate to the riverbank and was washing his hands when Song Tianyi came up behind him. Li Wu knew that he would die whether he agreed or not and took off his shoes and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide. Song Tianyi asked Li Wu to give him the Fish Eye Lock before he died, so Li Wu asked Song Tianyi to serve him for a day before he died. Song Tianyi followed Li Wu and saw his footprints with a crescent moon on the ground.

Li Wu and Song Tianyi came to the cave. Li Wu took out a wine pot and drank with Song Tianyi. The two couldn’t help shouting in the cave, very happy. Song Tianyi asked Li Wu why he came to the cave, and Li Wu told Song Tianyi about his past with Shu Tang, lamenting that the two had missed each other. When Song Tianyi was about to leave, Li Wu quickly asked him. Song Tianyi told Li Wu that there was a mark on his shoe. Lu Zheng walked around in the mountains following the mark. At this moment, Li Wu pretended to hang himself. Lu Zheng hurriedly stopped him. Li Wu saw him walking into a trap and immediately hung him upside down and knocked him out with a stick.

At night, Li Wu took out the Yu Ming Suo from under the tree and put it in his arms. Song Tianyi said that the Yu Ming Suo would only bring disaster to Lu Zheng. Li Wu seemed to be thinking about something. Lu Zheng woke up and asked Li Wu to hand over the Yu Ming Suo to him. Otherwise, if the Yu Ming Suo was obtained by Lord Yan, it would cause great harm. Li Wu was very angry and said that he never understood what Song Heming said back then, “It serves you right to have the surname Li,” and that he hated Feiyu Clothing and Xiu Chun Dao from the bottom of his heart. Lu Zheng told Li Wu that Song Heming, who was killed back then, was his biological father. When young Lu Zheng saw Li Wu pitifully, he broke into the prison and released Li Wu. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Li Wu killing his own father.

Ten years ago, in the prison, Li Wu wanted to cover Song Heming’s wound with cigarette ash. Song Heming gave Li Wu a dagger and asked him to kill him with it. He said that he could only live if he died after his son. Li Wu had to hold the dagger tightly. Song Heming aimed at the dagger and moved forward. What young Lu Zheng saw was the scene of Song Heming’s death.

Lu Zheng vowed not to let any evil person go unpunished since that day. Lu Zheng guessed that Li Wu had hidden the Yu Ming Suo under a tree. Li Wu pointed to a tree at random and watched Lu Zheng search under it. He took the opportunity to burn Lu Zheng’s clothes and take them off, finally seeing the scar on Lu Zheng’s back. Lu Zheng said that this scar was left by Li Wu back then.

Later, Li Wu and Lu Zheng arrived at a wooden house in the mountains. A woman opened the door. Li Wu said that they had lost a bronze ball while rushing to Guanyin Mountain and asked if she had found it. The woman said that tomorrow was the Central Plains Fair and they might find it at the market. Li Wu and Lu Zheng left Guanyin Mountain on horseback. Lu Zheng asked Li Wu to return to the Zhenfu Division Yamen to resume his post. Li Wu said that he would help Xie Kengran from now on.
