As soon as Li Wu entered the Zhenfu Yamen, a Jin Yiwei couldn’t help but ask about the case Li Wu had handled before. Li Wu responded while staring at other Jin Yiwei. At the reminder of his subordinates, he learned that every month Jin Yiwei had to report to the Lord of the Ministry of War, Si Xiangnan. Si Xiangnan took Li Wu to the school field and watched as Ji Daren was beaten by Jin Yiwei. Li Wu remembered that Ji Daren was the one who asked about the nine-headed corpse case at the door. Si Xiangnan warned Li Wu to be careful in his words and deeds in the future, saying that the matter of anti-party was a rare opportunity and wanted Li Wu to join in advance and work with Lu Zheng.

Later, Li Wu went to Lu Yulin’s place. Lu Yulin asked Li Wu to work with Lu Zheng so that he could monitor Lu Zheng and tell him about Lu Zheng’s whereabouts. He said that as long as Li Wu agreed with him, then Li Wu would always be Li Dongfang here. Li Wu was shocked that Lu Yulin saw through his identity and had no choice but to agree.

In the prison, Li Wu looked at the open door and recalled his escape from prison. He remembered how Song Heming was killed by a hidden arrow after locking the prison door with an iron chain and how his arm was broken by the killer who stole the book of impermanence. Lu Zheng came and asked Li Wu to check for a person named Li Wu in the case file library. The two walked up to the case file library and watched as Jin Yiwei passed by with scrolls. Li Wu couldn’t help but recall how ten years ago young Lu Zheng let him and Shu Tang go free. The person guarding the case file library told Lu Zheng that there was no scroll for Hongwu’s year named Li Wu. Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Zheng didn’t believe it and could only leave. After leaving the case file library, Li Wu wanted to shake hands with Lu Zheng and agree not to suspect each other anymore, but Lu Zheng knocked him out instead.

Lu Zheng woke up and found himself tied up in front of Guanyin Mountain. Li Wu asked Lu Zheng why he wanted to arrest the people in Ji'e Lane. Lu Zheng said that he had no military order of his own and that they would be sent to the front line as coolies. Seeing this, Li Wu said that Wang Kegong had secretly investigated an old case before his death and that he had been investigating Li Wu’s whereabouts for the past few years. He came to the capital to inquire about whether Ji'e Lane had any relatives or friends of his under Li Wu’s name. Li Wu was very angry and believed that the people of Ji'e Lane were all honest and upright people, but Lu Zheng had arrested innocent people in order to make him confess. Lu Zheng was willing to keep him by his side because of what he had just said, and the two shook hands and agreed.

On the other side, Wang Chan and his group disguised themselves as Nightfall and asked Jin Yiwei to hand over the people in Ji'e Lane. At this time, Lu Zheng rode up on horseback and ordered his men to take them down. Wang Chan quickly explained his identity, and Lu Zheng took out the Book of Impermanence and recorded Wang Chan’s pretending to be Nightfall to collect money and oppress the people.

At this time, Shu Tang woke up from a drunken stupor and found herself in the Jiaofang Division. At this time, a group of Jin Yiwei came to arrest people because they received a report that Nightfall had come to the Jiaofang Division. Seeing that Jin Yiwei Tang Yu actually lifted a woman’s clothes, Shu Tang said that she was Nightfall. Tang Yu saw Shu Tang and recognized her as Baihu’s wife. He thought that Shu Tang was really working at the Jiaofang Division and asked her to go back to the official residence first.

In the morning, Lu Zheng walked into the courtyard with an umbrella, and Li Wu and Shu Tang came out of the room. Lu Zheng showed them the deed, and it turned out that he had bought this courtyard. Lu Zheng said that they could live here, but they had to give him two taels of silver a month or do housework instead.

In the Zhenfu Division, Li Wu watched as Si Xiangnan took the plates confiscated from Wang Kegong’s mansion and used them as evidence of Wang Kegong’s communication with Yan. He also designated their letters as Yan’s intelligence. At this time, Lu Zheng walked over with his subordinates pressing down on Ma Han and Wang Chan. Lu Zheng said that they had claimed to be Nightfall, so he suspected that Si Xiangnan was also a rebel. Lu Zheng ordered his subordinates to arrest Si Xiangnan, but they were indifferent. Si Xiangnan was not flustered at all and said that he was following the rules of the Zhenfu Division.

Seeing this, Li Wu quickly came out to ease the tension. When Si Xiangnan saw that Lu Zheng was suspicious of him, he asked his subordinates to take out his seal. When Lu Zheng still did nothing, Li Wu took out his Book of Impermanence and tore out the contents inside to give to Si Xiangnan. After Si Xiangnan left, Li Wu explained the reason to Lu Zheng. Seeing that Lu Zheng did not listen to his advice, Li Wu handed him the seal and left.

At night, in the mansion, Li Wu asked his subordinates Tang Yu and Lu Yulin when they adopted Lu Zheng. They learned that Lu Zheng claimed to be a beggar from Ji'e Lane and were very puzzled. In a room in the mansion, Li Wu asked Shu Tang if she remembered the little boy in the prison. Shu Tang looked at him and said she had already guessed it.
