Shu Tang came to Wenhua Hall through a secret passage. When she was looking through books in the hall, eunuch Zhao Gou came in. Shu Tang kicked him down and asked him where the wine and vinegar noodle shop was.

On the other side, Lu Zheng came to Zhang Ji Silk Shop. The shopkeeper told Lu Zheng that Zhang Junqing had been staying in his room since he was attacked. Late at night, Lu Zheng said that Ye Bu Shou might come again and thought that Zhang Junqing was not safe in the silk shop and wanted him to leave with him. When he heard someone upstairs, Lu Zheng pretended to leave and took Zhang Junqing away. On the way, several Ye Bu Shou surrounded them. Just as Ye Bu Shou rushed forward to kill Zhang Junqing, Lu Zheng intervened and saved Zhang Junqing.

The two left by boat. After getting off the boat, Lu Zheng was trapped by Ye Bu Shou again. Zhang Junqing had to take action to kill Ye Bu Shou and then helped Lu Zheng treat his wounds. Seeing Zhang Junqing shivering with cold, Lu Zheng took off his coat and put it on her. Then he went out to keep watch for her.

In the palace, Shu Tang asked Zhao Gou to bring the immortal drunk that was brought from Beiping. Zhao Gou thought Shu Tang wanted to drink it, but Shu Tang said she was abstaining from alcohol. Under Shu Tang’s threat, Zhao Gou had to pick up the jar and start drinking. After Zhao Gou finished drinking, he found silver in the wine jar. Shu Tang said she wanted him to be a traitor and there was silver in the immortal drunk.

At the mansion, there was a heavy rain. Li Wu ordered his servants to take away all the kitchen utensils and only left the teacup that Shu Tang had drunk from. Just then, Li Dongfang walked into the room and Li Wu was startled. Li Dongfang believed that Li Wu could sacrifice everything for his own benefit and he came here to keep him away from Shu Tang. He took away the teacup on the table and warned Li Wu that Shu Tang was his person. While Li Dongfang wasn’t paying attention, Li Wu stole back the teacup and put it in his arms.

At the drill ground, Boss Shen at the canal wharf didn’t eat or drink or speak. He said that as long as he arrived at Li Wu’s mansion, he would tell everything truthfully. Seeing this, Li Wu had to let Jin Yi Wei take him to his mansion. Boss Shentold Li Wu that his name was Xie Enweier and that he was the father of Hong Jia’s family head who was raided in Hongwu 25th year. Xie En said he bet on Lord Yan to win and brought silver from a silver mine on the other side of the sea to exchange for Ming Dynasty’s porcelain silk tea salt lead. As long as there was a glimmer of hope for his business, he needed Li Wu’s protection.

In Wenhua Hall, Li Wu arrived at Wenhua Hall and saw that the books were turned upside down. He found traces of dye inside. Lu Zheng lied to Li Wu that the person who broke into the palace last night left nothing behind. Li Wu said that the dye in the book was the same as that in Zhang Ji’s silk shop and asked Lu Zheng why he had deceived him. Lu Zheng told Li Wu that Ye Bu Shou wanted to kill Zhang Junqing last night and that he had arranged for her to be taken to a safe place. Li Wu questioned Lu Zheng’s impartiality, and Lu Zheng told him that he liked Zhang Junqing.

Yuan Zhongdao walked into the hall and asked both of them to find out who broke into the palace last night as soon as possible. Afterwards, Yuan Zhongdao asked Lu Zheng why he didn’t keep Zhang Junqing in Zhenfu Division after catching her. Li Wu said that Zhang Junqing was an important witness in the case of the rebels, so Lu Zheng sent someone to secretly protect her. Li Wu told Yuan Zhongdao that Shen, a businessman at the canal wharf, was doing legitimate business and was only exchanging the rebels’ wealth for silver obtained from his overseas trade. He was being used by the rebels. After hearing this, Yuan Zhongdao said that the Ministry of Rites would give him a certificate of approval for his business dealings and allow him to trade more easily.

Li Wu and Lu Zheng left the Wenhua Hall. Lu Zheng asked Li Wu if Boss Shen was really not a traitor and suspected that Li Wu had taken money from Boss Shen. Li Wu felt that he had always been considerate of Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng still doubted him. Lu Zheng said that he had never hidden anything from Li Wu and was ready to advance and retreat with him, but he had done many things behind his back.

Shu Tang came to the Song family’s old house and saw the Ye Bu Shou pattern painted at the door. She pushed open the door and walked in. Just as Shu Tang walked into the yard, Zhang Junqing happened to walk into the room to comb her cat’s hair and sang a nursery rhyme composed by her father. Shu Tang couldn’t help but ask Zhang Junqing about the nursery rhyme she had just sung. She said that it was composed by her father. Zhang Junqing saw the hairpin on Shu Tang’s head and lied to her that it was sung by a girl who was sent to teach music by the government. Shu Tang quickly asked about it, and Zhang Junqing said that she regarded that person as her sister. That person once said that she hoped her sister would forget what happened before and live for herself.

At the wharf, the servants felt that they were being taken care of by Li Wu, and business at the wharf became better and better. Many officials exchanged their family wealth for silver. Xie Kengran realized that Li Wu was trying to find real gold and silver when he searched their homes.

On the other side, Li Wu led the Jin Yi Wei to raid homes and then let them divide the property in the yard. He took the gun himself. Late at night, Li Wu, who was drunk, came to the restaurant in Ji’e Lane. After talking nonsense to Meng Jie, he left unsteadily. Li Wu went to Ji’e Lane’s residence and found that it was already a mess and was very sad. At this moment, Shu Tang appeared with an umbrella and Li Wu hugged her.
