Pei Yan, Wei Zhao, Cui Liang and Jiang Ci took the same carriage to Nanling. Jiang Ci prepared exquisite pastries to share with them. Yi Fei and Tong Min rode along with them. They hit it off and the more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative.

The group of people traveled day and night to Nanling. They took a small boat. Nanling had many outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Wei Zhao and Pei Yan could not afford to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. They studied the ordnance case together. Jiang Ci was not interested, so they just He took the initiative to help the fisherman girl Ayan punt the boat and even put on the cloak for Ayan. After a long journey, Pei Yan and his party finally arrived at Changfengwu, the old home of the Pei family. Ayan returned the cloak to Jiang Ci, who gave it to her to keep out the cold.

As soon as Pei Yan returned home, he held a banquet for the Pei family members. Pei Zifang, the leader of the Pei family, did not take Pei Yan seriously at all. He sarcastically spoke harshly to Pei Yan, accusing Pei Yan of bringing shame to the descendants of the Pei family because of a woman. , Jiang Ci was worried that Pei Yan would lose face, so he asked Pei Yan to resign and went out to hide. Wei Zhao stood up to defend Pei Yan and scolded the tribesmen. They were so frightened that they apologized again and again. Pei Zifang knew that Wei Zhao was in front of Xie Che. The red man had no choice but to stand up and admit his mistake, but Wei Zhao didn't buy it and scolded him severely. Jiang Ci came out quietly, and Cui Liang followed closely behind. Jiang Ci added cold clivia to the porridge, and specifically told the maid not to give Pei Yan the porridge. Jiang Ci wanted Pei Zifang to cause diarrhea among the tribesmen, so Cui Liang accompanied Jiang Ci. While relaxing on the street, Wei Zhao hid and had a clear view.

Cui Liang accompanied Jiang Ci to stroll on the streets of Nanling. Cui Liang took a fancy to a purse and remembered a wonderful thing half a month ago. He was in a daze at the pavilion by the river when a paper crane fell on his lap. There are two poems above. Jiang Ci went to a roadside stall to drink porridge. Suddenly he saw Wei Zhao coming here. Jiang Ci came to him and asked why he came to Nanling together. Wei Zhao refused to answer. He added a lot of sugar to the porridge. Jiang Ci was curious. He loves sweets so much that Wei Zhao asked Jiang Ci to help check the code book for Changfeng Wei's secret message, but Jiang Ci flatly refused. Wei Zhao deliberately revealed that there was a coffin flower in Yueluo City that made porridge that was not bitter. Jiang Ci suddenly discovered that the rice the boss used to make porridge was old rice.

Jiang Ci put clivia in the porridge, which caused Pei Zifang and his tribe to have diarrhea, so they had to go home. Pei Yan felt something was fishy and asked Tong Min to investigate. Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci returned to Changfengwu. Cui Liang arrived shortly after and took out the purse he bought on the street. Pei Yan came out to pick up Jiang Ci and brought a cloak to Jiang Ci. Wei Zhao looked at the two of them. We walked in together, feeling sour in our hearts.

Pei Yan guessed that Xie Che had sent Wei Zhao to monitor him, and asked Jiang Ci to stay and act with him, and Jiang Ci agreed. When Wei Zhao heard that Jiang Ci was staying overnight in Pei Yan's room, he was even more furious and sent Yifei to continue searching for the whereabouts of the sisters Yan Qiaoshuang. Pei Zifang and Nanling Governor He Zhenwen teamed up to resell ordnance, resulting in a serious shortage of ordnance. He Zhenwen had to cut corners and make a batch of ordnance. Unexpectedly, this batch of ordnance was sent to Qingkang. Pei Zifang reminded him to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible to avoid being investigated by Pei Yan and Wei Zhao come out.

He Yonglin has been waiting for his father He Zhenwen at the door. He Zhenwen came out of Pei Zifang's house in despair. He Yonglin complained for He Zhenwen. He Zhenwen did not want to provoke Pei Zifang. The Pei family was powerful in the court. He reminded He Yonglin to hide the hungry people. Pei Yan and Wei Zhao tomorrow If you go to the Foundry Department to visit and investigate, be sure not to reveal any clues.

Pei Yan and Wei Zhao arrived at the governor's office early in the morning. He Zhenwen and the local officials had been waiting for a long time. He Zhenwen took them to visit the foundry department. As soon as Wei Zhao entered the door, he saw the stove that was burned beyond recognition. He Zhenwen kept saying that the fire was caused by improper operation by the city's craftsmen. Several craftsmen were also burned to death. Wei Zhao could tell at a glance that He Zhenwen was shirking responsibility. He Zhenwen was so frightened that he knelt down and admitted his mistake. Wei Zhao and Pei Yan walked around the Foundry Department and found nothing unusual. Wei Zhao suggested that they pretend to visit the mountains and rivers and investigate secretly.
