Ye Mingyu felt aggrieved by being beaten by Magistrate Feng and others, but Xue Fangfei stopped him. Tong'er pushed Ye Mingyu away, and Xue Fangfei felt uneasy. She had met Magistrate Feng before. Magistrate Feng used to be a beggar, but Xue Huaiyuan pitifully took him in as an errand in the government office and gave him the responsibility of supervising the granary, not realizing that he was an out-and-out bad guy.
Xue Fangfei took out the hand scroll, and the mute woman invited her to meet, and she was going to meet alone. In order to get rid of Magistrate Feng's spy, Xue Fangfei and Tong'er changed their clothes and asked Ye Mingyu to take Tong'er to set off first. The spy was not fooled and sent only one person to follow Tong'er and the others. After Xue Fangfei came out, they followed him with all their strength.
Xue Fangfei felt that someone was following her, so she deliberately took the wrong route to get away from them, but after running away from them, she met a gangster again. The local gangster wanted to use force on Xue Fangfei, but Xue Fangfei slapped several people, making it difficult for one person to defeat four people. A folding fan flew out and knocked down the gangster. Xiao Heng appeared to rescue Xue Fangfei.
Xue Fangfei was surprised by Xiao Heng's appearance. Xiao Heng asked Wen Ji to clean up his spy and deliberately took Xue Fangfei away. The two pretended to be lovers in a secret meeting. Xiao Heng saw a little girl selling hairpins on the roadside and bought them for Xue Fangfei. The two of them pretended to be sweet, and the little girl next to them was embarrassed to look directly at them. Xue Fangfei also chose a hairpin for Xiao Heng and put it on his head with her own hands.
Wen Ji put his eyes in front of Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng asked them to go back and tell Magistrate Feng that they didn't like anyone watching them and talking about love. Xue Fangfei was a little confused. Xiao Heng wanted to play the role himself this time and asked Wen Ji and the others to escort Xue Fangfei to see the mute woman. The mute woman recognized Xue Fangfei's identity. She was worried that Xue Fangfei would be in jail and persuaded her to leave. Xue Fangfei confessed her current identity and learned that Xue Huaiyuan's cronies had been arrested to work in the mud sand field, so she wanted to send the mute woman away. The mute woman was determined not to leave. She decided to repay Xue Huaiyuan for her kindness back then.
The spy went back to convey the truth, but was tortured and beaten by Magistrate Feng. One of them was directly covered with hot soup by him, while the others did not dare to speak out and shouted for mercy. Magistrate Feng learned that Xue Fangfei was related to Xiao Heng and used a carrier pigeon to convey the news to the palace people.
Xue Fangfei asked Ye Mingyu for help. He found out that Xue Huaiyuan's cronies were at the mud sand field and wanted to find a chance to save them. Xiao Heng found out about the situation in the sand field, and Wen Ji proposed a strong attack, but Lu Ji said it was nonsense. At this time, Xue Fangfei came to Xiao Heng, hoping that he could borrow someone to help save Xue Huaiyuan's old department. Xiao Heng did not agree in a hurry, he needed to deal with his own affairs first.
Xue Fangfei was so aggressive that Xiao Heng felt that she was forcing herself. Knowing that Xiao Heng did not know the map of the official gold mine, Xue Fangfei took out the blueprint left by Xue Zhao. Xiao Heng wanted to ask about the origin of the blueprint, but Xue Fangfei was inconvenient to tell and pledged her life to guarantee that it was true. Xiao Heng didn't want to do this deal, and Xue Fangfei knew that he had been using her to expose his plan. He wanted to use herself against Li Zhongnan, and was connected to the emperor behind his back. Xiao Heng thought she knew too much and accused her of being too presumptuous. Xue Fangfei handed her life over to him, and Xiao Heng accepted her request after hesitation.
Magistrate Feng tortured Xue Huaiyuan in public, trying to kill him early. The eyeliner found out the situation. Magistrate Feng learned that there was a problem with the granary and sent people to arrest people. Unexpectedly, only Ye Mingyu was arrested. Xue Fangfei used this trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and successfully escaped from under the nose of Magistrate Feng. She followed Xiao Heng to Dongshan to investigate. She found the entrance to the mud field, and Lu Ji took the lead in entering.
Xue Fangfei discovered that there was a fork in the road that was not written on the drawing. The three of them walked away separately, and Xiao Heng followed her. Walking deep into the cave, Xue Fangfei suddenly thought of being buried and did not dare to step forward. Xiao Heng held her hand tightly. The two found someone in the cave, Xiao Heng asked Xue Fangfei to come forward, secretly protect her and knock them out, Xiao Heng asked her to change into their clothes.
Feige passed the letter to Li Jin. Li Jin learned that Xiao Heng had arrived in Huaixiang, and Magistrate Feng asked him for instructions. Xue Fangfei saw someone secretly mining official mines and guessed that the person behind the scenes was related to the lives of the Xue family.
