Pledge of Allegiance Episode 8 Recap
> Pledge of Allegiance Recap
At Zhenfu Division, Lu Yulin handed over the key to the case file library of Zhenfu Division to Li Wu and instructed that all cases from the Hongwu period must go through Li Wu. Li Wu cherished the key and held it in his hand. At night, the neighbors of Jiege Lane enjoyed food in a restaurant. After getting drunk, Li Wu handed a jade to a little boy named Mei Dou and then staggered and put a bag of silver in front of each household in Ji'e Lane to thank everyone for taking care of him for so many years. Lu Zheng followed him secretly and muttered Li Wu’s name while watching him smash everything in his previous residence.
It was night again. Li Wu asked Mei Dou to put a piece of white paper into a river lantern and let it flow downstream in advance. Li Wu ate the white paper in the river lantern and pretended that it was an order from Li Dongfang. Li Wu deceived Shu Tang that Li Dongfang had seen Shu Tang following him to his new post and said that he was willing to teach Shu Tang how to become a hundred-household wife. Seeing Shu Tang wiping her knife, Li Wu quickly denied that there was no need for Shu Tang to smile and serve him.
Inside the mansion, Shu Tang slowly recounted Li Dongfang’s previous case handling experience and asked Li Wu to remember it. Li Wu said that he had to summarize Li Dongfang’s character and truly become Li Dongfang from the inside out. Seeing Shu Tang’s heroic sitting posture, he put some silver coins in her shoes. Shu Tang put on her shoes and walked a few steps before refusing to practice anymore. Seeing this, Li Wu threatened Shu Tang with Li Dongfang’s authority. Shu Tang looked at Li Wu’s virtuous appearance sewing clothes and had no choice but to continue practicing walking.
Li Wu analyzed that Li Dongfang’s characteristics were honesty and fear of the inside and hinted at Shu Tang. Shu Tang couldn’t help but ask Li Wu what he meant. Li Wu said that they should pretend to be husband and wife, but they had to really live together and proposed that they take turns being responsible for odd and even days. At night, Shu Tang was really wiping the floor in the room. Seeing Li Wu sleeping on the desk, Shu Tang angrily knocked over his shoes and found silver coins inside, coming up with a plan.
In the morning, Li Wu walked out of the room and found that Shu Tang was actually drying clothes on a rainy day. He quickly stopped Shu Tang. Looking at the dishes on the table, Li Wu learned that Shu Tang had given two cooking old ladies one liang of silver. He realized that Shu Tang had taken the silver coins from his shoes after she had said she had no money and was very angry.
The two came to the riverbank, and falling flowers kept drifting down from the trees. Seeing Lu Zheng coming by boat, Shu Tang leaned against Li Wu’s shoulder. Before they arrived, Shu Tang reminded Li Wu again to remember Li Dongfang’s experience, the power struggle of Zhenfu Yamen and the secret signal of not collecting at night. On the boat, Lu Zheng tentatively called out Li Wu’s name. Li Wu pretended not to know and had already clenched the key around his waist in secret.
