Tang Xiao has already confessed, and Yun Xiang did not continue to question him, so he let him go. When Mo Bufan saw Yun Xiang looking dejected, he reminded him not to be discouraged and said that he would investigate whether Liu Baihu had been murdered. Yun Xiang knew that Tang Xiao's keen interest in Liu Baihu was naturally related to the massacre in the village, but Tang Xiao was just a dog. Killing him would be meaningless to Yun Xiang. Moreover, someone would naturally kill Tang Xiao to keep him quiet.

Yun Xiang had previously stated that all those involved in the massacre must face justice. When Mo Bufan asked him what he would do in the future, Yun Xiang said he would never give up. He believed that his purpose for living was to uncover the truth and seek justice. Suddenly, it started to rain, and next to the inn where Yun Xiang and Wen Cong were staying, a poem could be heard: "With a bamboo stick and straw sandals, lightly mount the horse, dressed in a straw raincoat for life." Yun Xiang was now determined to gamble everything to uncover the truth at any cost.

Yun Xiang returned to Nan Du and immediately went to find Qian Rong, asking him to let him review the transaction records of the business association from ten years ago, especially those from the 24th year of Tianqing. Qian Rong was very surprised, but Su Huairou had previously instructed him that they would fully cooperate if Yun Xiang needed it. Qian Rong followed through and showed him the commercial agreement records from fifteen years ago.

Su Mingyu took Menglan to see her sister. Menglan was the daughter of a convicted criminal and had burned documents, making it difficult for her to enter the Su family. Menglan confessed that she no longer cared about her status since the moment she burned the documents, and all she wanted was to be with Su Huairou, who was a well-traveled person, and she had a deep relationship with Qian Rong. Su Huairou understood this and silently approved of her brother's and Menglan's marriage.

Qian Rong talked about the matter of transferring the files with Yun Xiang. Su Huairou knew that the situation was hopeless and asked Qian Rong what his plans were if the building collapsed. Qian Rong didn't care about that and said that he would leave with Su Huairou and fly away together. With these words, Su Huairou became much calmer.

Tang Xiao returned home and felt a sense of crisis. He hurried back home and ordered his men to close the gate tightly. Unexpectedly, Kou Yan, Ling Yuan's man, was sitting in the hall. Ye, the leader of the rudder, followed closely behind. Now they have found out that Tang Xiao had tampered with the accounts and had been doing so for many years. Tang Xiao handed over the recipe for making drugs that he had pondered over his entire life, hoping that Kou Yan could spare him. Kou Yan was even more ruthless than Ye and took Tang Xiao directly to the dungeon. After breaking his arm, he let the woman who had been drugged and locked up in the dungeon for many years vent her anger. He even threw a knife on the ground, and naturally, Tang Xiao's situation was dire.

Yun Xiang had been looking at the account books all night. In the morning, when the sun rose, he took the account book and went to see Su Huairou. Su Huairou had not eaten anything the previous night and was calmly sitting in the hall waiting for Yun Xiang. When Yun Xiang asked about the massacre of the Luo family, Su Huairou intentionally spoke of Wen Cong's particularly ruthless style, wanting to destroy all the merchants in the Southern Capital, leaving only their family dominant. The merchants must make money, and they would naturally purchase a large amount of land. At that time, there was almost no land left in Zhejiang. Wen Cong planned to go and buy land, and someone gave him advice, saying that a massacre could save a lot of money. So, the Su family colluded with Tang Xiao in secret. Su Huairou stood up and rebuked Yun Xiang for not slandering people, and asked Qian Rong to drive Yun Xiang out, stating that the Su family did not need such a friend.

In just one night, the Southern Capital was closed off. Tian Hu went out to make purchases but came back empty-handed. Shu Yanan heard that the court was suppressing the Southern Capital and many people were sending large amounts of gambling money to Liansheng Lane. She was curious and went to take a look. Among the team escorting the silver cart, Shu Yanan saw a face that was very familiar. This person was Kou Yuanjie. She immediately became alert and warned Jin Biao not to accept that silver, and to let the cart filled with silver ingots come and go.
