Lan Jue stole the exam question scrolls out of the Gongyuan, but he did not find any clues after studying all night. Xudong wanted to persuade Lan Jue to ask Zhang Ping for help, but Lan Jue refused. Zhang Ping took the gold leaf to Tao Zhoufeng, the minister of Dali Temple, and used it as evidence to suspect that Ma Lian had killed someone. But Tao Zhoufeng said that Chen Zishang died after Haishi, but Ma Lian had been with the moon all night since the beginning of Xushi. Lou, there is no time to commit crimes at all.

On the other hand, Lan Jue also learned that Ma Lianke was listening to music in Banyue Tower before the exam, and before that, Cheng Bai, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, invited Ma Lian to a banquet, but Ma Lian broke the appointment temporarily. Lan Jue thought it was strange that Ma Lian refused Cheng Bai's invitation to go to Banyue Tower to listen to the music. He guessed that listening to the music was just a deception, and the real purpose was to trade test questions.

Tao Zhoufeng believes that both the girl Jiexiang and Xiao Er in the Banyue Tower can testify for Ma Lian, so Ma Lian cannot have anything to do with Chen Zishang's death. And Tao Zhoufeng said that he has found the murderer. This person is a habitual thief. He sneaked into Chen Zishang's house that night and wanted to steal it. The back of the head, and then worried about the crime being exposed and tried to cover it up. When the murderer learned that Chen Zishang's death alarmed the Queen Mother, he hanged himself in fear of crime. Tao Zhoufeng believed that Dali Temple had already found out the truth this time, and he did not want Zhang Ping to continue investigating the case.

Lan Jue came to Banyue Tower to ask Miss Jiexiang, and learned that Ma Lian had indeed come here at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty that day and never left. And he didn't review the books in the middle of it, and even the bookcases for the scientific examination the next day were rushed by the servants. After Lan Jue returned to the mansion, Wang Yan came to visit Lan Mansion and told his friend that the Dali Temple case had been closed and Ma Lian had been released without charge. In this way, only by finding evidence to reverse the verdict can the truth be revealed to the world. Wang Yan was unable to help Lan Jue investigate the case because of the relationship between the six relatives, so he persuaded Lan Jue and Zhang Ping to work together to find out the case.

Zhang Ping came to Banyue Tower at night, but was turned away by the underground man. In the end, Lan Jue showed up and brought him into the building. Lan Jue met Miss Jiexiang on the grounds of listening to the music, and noticed that her finger was injured, and inquired that she had played the song for Ma Lian all night before. Zhang Ping checked and speculated that Jiexiang was used as evidence. Chen Zishang's neighbor once said that he was pushing wheat home that night. But Zhang Ping guessed that what this person saw was not Chen Zishang at all, but Ma Lian in disguise. When Ma Lian returned to Banyue Tower, he accidentally brought back a few grains of wheat, so there were only dropped wheat in the Jiexiang room. Zhang Ping said that he found a golden leaf that was torn off by external force in Chen Zishang's courtyard, and this golden leaf happened to be on the Ying Luo worn by Ma Lian, indicating that the two had fought before. So Ma Lian actually killed Chen Zishang before the time of Xu, and then he pretended to be Chen Zishang, pushed the time of death to after the time of Hai, and at the same time asked Jiexiang to give false testimony that he stayed in Banyue Tower all night, so that he could Perfect acquittal. Under such evidence, Jiexiang admitted to perjury for Ma Lian, saying that Ma Lian gave herself a sum of money that night to help her sneak out. Lan Jue promises that as long as Jie Xiang is willing to retract the confession, he is willing to keep Jie Xiang's life without any worries.

After the investigation, Lan Jue invited Zhang Ping to go back home for dinner. During the meal, Lan Jue found that Zhang Ping ate burritos in the same way as he created when he was a child. Zhang Ping said that maybe his mother brought him to Beijing twenty years ago, and Lan Jue might have taught him how to eat this burrito. Zhang Ping also said that if the case is investigated and it is found that Lan Jue's family was harmed by his mother, he is willing to report himself in front of the Queen Mother and reverse the case for Master Lao Lan.

The next day, Lan Jue and Zhang Ping approach Tao Zhoufeng with Jie Xiang's retracted confession, but Tao Zhoufeng thinks that Jie Xiang can perjure Ma Lian for money, and maybe he can retract his confession for money. Seeing that Tao Zhoufeng insisted that the verdict of the case was correct, Lan Jue knew that Tao Zhoufeng did not want to reverse the case and investigate because Ma Lian was the queen mother's niece and son-in-law, so she simply took Zhang Ping to leave.

Because of Mr. Jinghu's prophecy, many candidates paid homage to Chen Zishang together, and were surprised to find that Chen Zishang's pen holder was burning in full view. They firmly believed that Chen Zishang had a grievance, and they planned to go to the palace gate to write a letter to avenge Chen Zishang. On the other hand, Lan Jue believed that the only one who could fight against the Queen Mother was the Holy One.

The next day, Liu Taifu sent a letter to the palace gate to ask for a retrial of the imperial examination fraud case and informed the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was unwilling to re-examine the case. At this time, the Holy Lord said that he had found out the truth. Zhang Ping presented the evidence of Ma Lian's crime yesterday. He sent someone to take Ma Lian away for interrogation. Ma Lian confessed to his crime of murder and fraud. The Holy Majesty said that now the mistakes have been made, and the people's grievances have arisen, and he proposed that when the Qianqiu Yi is established, the world will be amnesty, the tax will be exempted for one year, and the people will be gracious to restore the hearts of the people. Tao Zhoufeng was ordered by the Holy Order to be taken to the Xing Prison Division because he used a fake murderer to cover up criminals, deceived his superiors and his subordinates, and made the imperial court lawless.
