Encountering extreme weather while out at sea, some gangsters secretly destroyed the mast and rudder of the ship, causing heavy casualties to the sailors, and many people were separated from the fleet. Fortunately, there was enough food on the ship, and they only needed to wait for rescue to arrive. On the other hand, Di Renjie relied on carrier pigeons to deliver news to Hong Liang. If something unexpected happened, he would ask him to submit the letter to the court as evidence, so that the truth would remain in the world.

Yu Su was bullied by the officers and soldiers, and Qiao Tai came to the rescue in time. Ma Rong was deeply moved by this hero saving the beauty. Di Renjie and Hou Yu suddenly remembered that Wang Lide was good at observing the stars and would check the marks on the navigation chart wherever he went. However, the navigation chart they obtained did not have any markings, so this map was really full of doubts.

While they were talking, Zhongshi Liu summoned everyone on the ship to the cabin to check for the traitor. Jin Sang revealed that Wang Lide had a singer from Baekje, implying that Yu Su knew clues related to gold. Zhongshi Liu tortured Yu Su and interrogated Yu Su. The scene was cruel. Cao An couldn't bear to look at it. Di Renjie persuaded Yusu to explain the whereabouts of Wang Lide and the gold. Yusu said that Wang Lide promised to come back to redeem himself before leaving, and no one else knew about it.

Because he failed to find any useful clues, Yu Su was taken away by the officers and soldiers. Di Renjie stabilized Cao An's mood and motioned her to be calm. Later, Di Renjie questioned in public that Mr. Yi had personally led a large ship to smear the sea. It happened to be the same day as Wang Lide's accident. It was really too much of a coincidence. Mr. Yi's sophistry was a little pale.

Soon there was heavy fog on the sea surface, and Hou Yu came over to tell everyone to go back to the cabin to rest to avoid accidents. Di Renjie and Hou Yu analyzed the case and believed that the Baekje people used gold to smuggle arms from the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the fog dissipated, and everyone found that Secretary Yi was dead, hanging on the mast.

Because of this, Gu Mengbin was frightened and ordered his followers to stay by his side. Currently, this mole is lurking on the ship, causing people to panic. Liu Zhongshi suspects that everyone is harboring evil intentions, and even threatens Di Renjie that he will personally interrogate Cao An if the murderer cannot be found.

Qiao Tai was concerned about Yu Su's safety and quietly sneaked into the bilge to check on her condition. He personally fed her water and applied medicine while Ma Rong kept a careful lookout outside. After dark, Gu Mengbin brought a star board to the enemy to observe the stars. Di Renjie was deeply inspired by it and felt that the ship was traveling along the ocean current, which coincided with Wang Lide's route.

In order to prevent Yusu from leaking Baekje's secrets, Bai Kai decided to kill him personally, but was discovered by Qiao Tai and Ma Rong. Bai Kai's assassination failed, and he was forced to the deck by everyone. He admitted that he was the flag captain of the Tiger Army of Baekje. Although Di Renjie guessed that there must be a high-ranking official in the court behind Wang Li De, he refused to reveal anything.

One day and night, something happened on the ship. Yi Pan was suspected of being murdered, and Bai Kai was arrested and jumped into the sea to his death. According to the measurement of the star board, they have been drifting along the Wang Lide Channel, and the clues to the gold case have gradually become clear. Because of the intercession of Di Renjie and others, Yu Su was able to return to the cabin to rest, and Cao An stayed by her side to take good care of her.

Di Renjie came to Cao An and asked her why she wanted to get on the ship. He also asked Yu Su about Bai Kai's other situation. Cao An was silent when he heard this, and Yu Su didn't know anything about it either. After Di Renjie left, Yu Su took the initiative to tell her story with Wang Lide and saw that the relationship between Cao An and Di Renjie was different from ordinary people.

Di Renjie's biggest feeling when handling the gold case this time was that Hou Yu actually knew the tides and astrology. Hou Yu responded with a smile that he had learned a thing or two from his grandfather, but he rarely mentioned his grandfather's affairs to the outside world. At the same time, Gu Mengbin sent gold to Ambassador Liu as a tribute, and also falsely suggested in front of him that Di Renjie intended to protect Wang Lide. He was afraid that the two conspired to secretly control the smuggling of gold. Liu Zhongshi was thoughtful and said bluntly that if Di Renjie really acted like this, he would have committed a serious crime that would implicate the nine clans.
