Li Wu was puzzled why Lu Yulin would tell him the truth. Lu Yulin said he wanted Li Wu to change his way of life and relieve him of his guilt for the past ten years. Lu Yulin told Li Wu that he saved Lu Zheng in the past for the secret of the Yu Ming Suo and later couldn’t bear to hurt him again. Later, Lu Yulin said that Wang Chongxi was sent to the palace to accuse him and Lu Zheng of communicating with Yan. Li Wu felt that Wang Chongxi’s words were not credible. Lu Yulin said that Yuan Zhongdao knew that he had Song Heming’s book of life and death in his hands, and there was a cryptogram of the Yu Ming Suo in it.

Lu Yulin told Li Wu that if they dared to do this, there must be insiders in the yamen who wanted to overthrow him and Lu Zheng. Li Wu wondered why other officials would conspire against him. Lu Yulin told him that he had released the news that Li Dongfang was related to Lord Yan, and Li Wu must be Li Dongfang, which was good for both the court and the world. Before leaving, Lu Yulin asked Li Wu not to tell Lu Zheng about today’s conversation. If anything happened to him in the future, let Lu Zheng take good care of his book of life and death.

At this time, Lu Zheng in the mansion recorded Ye Bu Shou a secret code he had seen recently on the book of life and death. He found that there were symbols of “Ye Bu Shou” even on miscellaneous characters and realized that there must be a problem with Fanggu Zhai who printed miscellaneous characters. Lu Zheng went to Fanggu Zhai and secretly hid before Shopkeeper Cui came. He saw Shopkeeper Cui making marks on miscellaneous characters.

At the sound of the drum, Lu Zheng asked the official if there was any sign of Xu Huizu being called back from the front line today. The official was shocked that Lu Zheng knew about the secret that was announced before the incense stick was burned. Lu Zheng asked who proposed the motion and the official told him it was Zhao Gou, the supervisor of ceremonies. Zhang Junqing appeared at Zhao Gou’s call, but Lu Zheng was waiting for her in the room. Lu Zheng told her about the secret report he had overheard last night and Zhang Junqing did not deny it. When she learned that Lu Zheng went to Qinhuai River to throw eggs, she asked him if he had feelings for her. Seeing Lu Zheng hesitate, Zhang Junqing hit him.

Li Wu and Mei Dou came to the mountain and Sister Meng told Li Wu that Shu Tang had recovered from her illness but did not know where she had gone. Li Wu said that he was now in charge of the anti-party case and was also a spy who did not sleep at night. He could not help himself and he finally convinced the pacification commissioner and Nightfall that Shu Tang had died so that no one would chase after her again. Sister Meng saw that Li Wu really liked Shu Tang.

In the cave, Sister Meng handed Shu Tang the gold given by Li Wu, but Shu Tang refused it. Shu Tang told Sister Meng about her past and Li Wu secretly listened to their conversation outside. Shu Tang asked Li Wu how Sister Meng knew him and Sister Meng told Shu Tang that they were both people in prison and she survived with Li Wu’s help in a restaurant.

Afterward, Shu Tang walked out of the inner room and realized that Li Wu was eavesdropping outside. She then cried and talked about the past between them. The next day, Sister Meng and Mei Dou told Li Wu that Shu Tang had disappeared. Li Wu looked at what Shu Tang had left behind and realized that she felt she owed Li Dongfang, so she left to find him.

Lu Zheng woke up and found himself in a secret room in the bell tower. Yuan Zhongdao told Lu Zheng that Zhang Junqing was his person and that she had been lurking for many years. Now he wants the two of them to work together to overcome difficulties. He said that on December 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the King of Yan will launch a surprise attack on Nanjing, and the firearms in Yumingsuo will become key.

Shu Tang avoided the Jinyiwei and came to the Prison, where she actually saw Li Dongfang. It turned out that Shu Tang wanted to set fire to the Prison and rescue Li Dongfang in the chaos so that they would no longer owe each other. Li Dongfang asked Shu Tang to assassinate the emperor in the palace, saying that after this matter was over, Shu Tang would be free.

Li Wu hurried to the Prison and was taken to the inner room by Chen Jizhen. Li Wu told him that he had found Song Heming’s only son. Chen Jizhen said that as long as Li Wu handed over Song Zhen, he would tell him where Shu Tang was. Late at night, Lu Zheng stopped Li Wu and Li Wu couldn’t help but punch Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng didn’t care and took this punch as an apology to Li Wu. Later, when the two were chatting, Lu Zheng saw that Li Wu’s sword was broken and wanted to give him Song Heming’s sword from before he died.
