Lu Zheng carried Xie Kengran back to the government office. Si Xiangnan told Lu Zheng that he was a deeply hidden traitor in the Zhenfu Division and threatened him to confess by using Xie Kengran’s funeral. Seeing that Lu Zheng still refused, Si Xiangnan ordered his subordinates to cane him fifty times. Lu Zheng was beaten to vomit blood and still wanted to pick up Xie Kengran’s waist badge that had been thrown on the ground. He eventually passed out and was forcibly detained.

At the riverbank, Li Wu changed into Li Dongfang’s clothes and found Shu Tang lying under the eaves while rushing on the road. He quickly went up and carried Shu Tang into the cave, found a doctor for her diagnosis and treatment, and boiled medicine for her in the cave. After feeding her medicine, Li Wu walked into the city gate wearing Li Dongfang’s clothes and saw a notice that said Lu Zheng was a traitor. After disguising himself, Li Wu came to the door of Zhenfu Division with a cart and heard Jinyiwei talking about Lu Zheng and Xie Kengran without any concern, which made him very angry.

At night, Shu Tang woke up in the cave and realized that Li Wu had saved her. She turned over and wanted to collect Li Dongfang’s body. Li Wu quickly stopped her. He saw that Shu Tang wanted to go out again, so he lied to her that Li Dongfang was not dead because Ye Bu Shou had betrayed them and Li Dongfang only contacted him directly. Shu Tang had no choice but to believe Li Wu’s words.

Li Wu asked Shu Tang to follow him into the city to recuperate. He planned to go to the Zhenfu Division Yamen for his appointment. Facing Shu Tang’s question, Li Wu looked at the burning fire in front of him and took out the cloth stained with Xie Kengran’s blood from his arms. He sighed that he should have died that day. He never understood why Xie Kengran was so desperate to block the knife for him. He wanted to figure out the reason and save Lu Zheng for him by going to the Zhenfu Division Yamen.

The next day, Li Wu settled Shu Tang in the city and went to the Zhenfu Division Yamen for his appointment. When Lu Yulin saw the blood stains on Li Wu’s clothes, he asked if he was injured. Li Wu said that the blood stains were from Xie Kengran. He met Ye Bu Shou on the way and was saved by Xie Kengran, but Xie Kengran was killed by Ye Bu Shou. Si Xiangnan objected that Lu Zheng had already signed and detained himself, and it was he who killed Wang Kegong and Xie Kengran. Li Wu told Si Xiangnan that he had seen Ye Bu Shou kill Wang Kegong with his own eyes and said that he wanted to testify for Lu Zheng and request a holy judgment to investigate whether someone had been tortured into confession and make a big deal out of it.

Lu Yulin said that the emperor had already made a ruling and ordered Lu Zheng to receive death at Zhenfu Division Yamen at three-quarters of an hour after midnight tonight. Si Xiangnan left satisfied when he saw this. Lu Yulin stopped Li Wu who wanted to leave and asked what Li Wu wanted to do for Lu Zheng. Li Wu said that he was entrusted by Xie Kengran to save his close friend Lu Zheng. Lu Yulin said that only Mr. Yuan from Wenhua Hall could save Lu Zheng, and he immediately went into the palace to find Mr. Yuan for Lu Zheng’s plea but feared that there was not enough time. Li Wu heard that it would take at least two hours and quickly turned around and left.

At the Zhenfu Division school field at night, Si Xiangnan asked Li Wu what he came for. Li Wu said that he had found out that Lu Zheng was indeed colluding with the rebels. He asked Si Xiangnan to forgive him and wanted to execute Lu Zheng himself to show his loyalty. Si Xiangnan was very satisfied.

The Jinyiwei took Lu Zheng down from the wooden frame, and Li Wu begged Si Xiangnan for the last bowl of rice for Lu Zheng. Li Wu woke up Lu Zheng with water, hinted that he should listen to him, and handed him the bowl of rice. Lu Zheng heard his words and quickly took the bowl of rice and started eating.

At three-quarters of an hour after midnight, Lu Yulin had already knelt in front of the palace trembling all over and still refused to leave. Seeing that Wang Taijian had reported to the emperor many times but still refused to summon him, Lu Yulin said that he had something important to report to the emperor about the old case in Hongwu years. As a result, Lu Yulin was supported to the emperor and Yuan Zhongdao saw that Lu Yulin wanted to use the secret of the old case in Hongwu years to plead with the emperor for Lu Zheng. Lu Yulin told the emperor about the secret of Yu Ming’s lock and that Lu Zheng was the son of Song Heming, a criminal. Since Wang Kegong and Song Heming have died, Lu Zheng is the only one who knows about the secret code and begged the emperor to allow Lu Zheng to serve him while he himself is willing to be executed by the emperor.

At the Zhenfu Division school field, Li Wu asked the Jinyiwei to press down Lu Zheng while he himself pulled the bowstring against Lu Zheng’s throat and pulled hard.
