Shu Tang and Li Wu left Zhang Ji's silk and satin shop, Zhang Junqing put on a robe for Shu Tang, Shu Tang took off the hairpin on his head and handed it to her, and then left with Li Wu. In the Zhenfu Division, Lu Zheng asked Lu Yulin whether someone should be killed if he held power in the Zhenfu Division and secretly communicated with the rebellious party, but there were unavoidable reasons behind it. Lu Yulin said that even if this person shouldn't be killed now, there will be a time when he should be killed, and one day Lu Zheng will not be able to convince himself. Lu Zheng shed tears, expressing that he would rather wait for that day to come, maybe that day will not come in the end.
At the gate of the city, Li Wu took Shu Tang away in a carriage. The two came to the mountain, just got off the carriage, turned around and saw Lu Zheng coming on horseback. Seeing that Lu Zheng was unwilling to let them go, Li Wu drew out his dagger and stabbed Shu Tang, and then pushed her into the river, but Li Wu's bloody hand trembled slightly.
In the evening, Li Wu came to the river to look for Shu Tang. Shu Tang collapsed by the river in a coma due to choking on water, with persistent high fever. Li Wu carried Shu Tang to the carriage, when Sister Meng and Mei Dou were actually there, and the four came to the cave with the carriage. Sister Meng fed Shu Tang medicine, and Li Wu watched Shu Tang coughing and left quickly.
Zhang Ji Silk and Satin Shop, Zhang Junqing expressed that he was willing to hand over the position of Chief Qian of Nanjing to Li Dongfang, and her request was to maintain the current war situation. As she said that, she would tell Li Dongfang the method of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun with a tank boat, expressing that she would hide it from the Holy Majesty and Jin Yiwei.
In the morning, the city gate opened, and Li Wu, who was sleeping on the haystack, was awakened by the city gate officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers wanted to drive away the hungry refugees in front of them, but Li Wu stopped him and said that he would invite the refugees in front of the city gate to eat in the city today, and everyone thanked him quickly.
At the Yamen of the Zhenfusi, Lu Zheng handed over to Li Wu the order to transfer troops with the seal of the Zhenfusi, expressing that he would help him. Si Xiangnan came to question Li Wu. Boss Shen was going to the north with property worth millions. If this property became military expenditure against the party, then the entire Zhenfu Division would be implicated. Li Wu immediately prepared his horse and took them to the pier together.
At the Water Transport Wharf, Boss Shen said that he was ordered to go to sea for trade, but the guards in Jinyi still refused to let him go after reading the documents. Seeing that Boss Shen said that there was an important guest on board, Li Wu followed him into the cabin. At this moment, a group of Yebushou appeared, and Li Dongfang held Li Wu hostage. Li Wu asked Jin Yiwei to step back and let them go. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Lu Zheng brought Jin Yiwei to appear, killed the other Yebushu, and came in front of the two. When Lu Zheng and Li Dongfang were fighting, Li Wu tied Li Dongfang's feet with chains, and Li Dongfang was restrained and stabbed by Lu Zheng. Seeing Li Wu fainted, Lu Zheng hurriedly carried him away.
At night, Lu Zheng was taken to Zhao's ancestral hall by Jin Yiwei, and the people inside had already fled away. Lu Zheng wondered why the two were willing to tell the truth again. It turned out that Lu Yulin asked them to tell Lu Zheng the truth.
In the mansion, Li Wu and the Jinyi guards held a funeral for Shu Tang's death. Li Wu suddenly fainted, and when he woke up, he said that he wanted to become a monk. Afterwards, Li Wu brought Shu Tang's tablet and plum beans to the temple Jianchu Temple. It turned out that Li Wu wanted Shu Tang to fake his death, so that he could make decisions on his own without restrictions.
Two days later, Lu Zheng came to Jianchu Temple and said that Li Wu's memorandum had been rejected, because many people were implicated for no reason in the anti-party case, and Li Wu was not allowed to quit. A month later, Lu Zheng arrived at Jianchu Temple with a group of matchmakers. A monk asked Li Wu to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard, and Mei Dou said that he had already swept them. As soon as the two walked out of the yard, a matchmaker stepped forward to introduce Li Wu. Not long after, the little monk came to let the two of them sweep the other courtyard. When Li Wu walked to the courtyard, another matchmaker wanted to match Li Wu. After asking Mei Dou to see the guests off, Li Wu secretly saw Lu Zheng kicking the big tree in the yard.
At Jianchu Temple at night, Li Wu was very surprised to see Lu Yulin's arrival. Lu Yulin took out Li Wu's resignation letter and said that he could not accept it. Seeing that Li Wu didn't respond, he said that when Hong Wunian killed Song Heming, he felt the same as Li Wu now. It turned out that ten years ago, Lu Yulin questioned Song Heming about the whereabouts of Yu Mingsuo before the prison, and then pulled out the arrow from Song Heming's body, resulting in his death.
