Cui Bei finally found out that his father Cui Xun was ordered by the Holy Spirit to help the people as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. On the way, he discovered the collusion between soldiers and bandits. Li Bing told Cui Bei that things in the past cannot be pursued. Now he stays in Dali Temple to enforce the law impartially just to give an explanation to more unjust cases. Even if there are things that cannot be solved, he only wants to do his best, but when doing good things, he should not Ask about the future.
Several people found some tribute incense candles from the Taoist temple and brought them to Cui Bei on the altar to worship his father. Since they could not return to their hometown, they burned a few sticks of incense in front of the Taoist temple in the direction of their hometown Chang'an and expressed their feelings.
Chen Shi proposed to buy some mountain products near Tianchi Mountain and bring them back to Dali Temple. Alibaba was responsible for paying the bill. When he returned to Dali Temple, he happily shared it with everyone. Sun Bao asked for a few peace charms from Yuan Buer's stall and insisted on giving them to Li. The cake was so warm and welcoming that Li had no choice but to accept it.
At night, Cui Bei dreamed that the dark clouds that had been covering him suddenly turned into white clouds and floated away, and he vaguely felt his parents coming to his bed. They had never complained about him.
Dali Temple held an annual martial arts assessment, with Sun Bao as the assessor and Hu Si responsible for recording. Sun Bao had served as a soldier and was unmatched in martial arts. For the sake of fairness, Sun Bao let the other ministers choose the competition events. Some people suggested After a few rounds of arm wrestling, most of the people were defeated. Wang Qi and Cui Bei and Chen Shi watched Sun Bao dominate the limelight. They couldn't help but start gossiping about Sun Bao's arrogance. It was Cui Bei's turn to accept the challenge. Bei knew that he, a weak scholar, was no match at all, so he simply admitted defeat. Wang Qi chose to compete in wrestling, and the two walked back and forth on the sand. Wang Qi deliberately attacked in the east and west to distract Sun Bao, but Sun Bao was not fooled and knocked Wang Qi to the ground several times. Wang Qi was beaten. Begging for mercy again and again. When Hu Si was about to announce the results, Chen Shi carefully mentioned that he had not participated yet, and basically no one had taken Chen Shi into account. Since he proposed it, he would give Chen Shi a chance.
Chen Shi competed with Sun Bao to hit the bell with a slingshot, and the two tied. Sun Bao suddenly realized that the annual martial arts assessment centered on himself, which seemed unfair to other ministers, and suggested changing the assessment method in the future.
Li Cake re-analyzed the connections in a series of cases. Both the Minister of Rites and Du Zixu could no longer speak. Both of them were related to a flower. The so-called "Yao Yin" had no clue at all. Thinking of this, Li Cake went to the brothel to find out. The masked woman was not in the room. Li Cake used the cat's eye illusion to check that Yi Zhihua had been in this room.
After leaving the brothel, Li Cake walked into a restaurant. After a while, Qiu Qingzhi also went to the same restaurant for dinner. During the dinner, the two found out that someone had kidnapped a child, so they cooperated to save the child. They cooperated very well. Li Cake asked Qiu Qingzhi about the person who ran the gambling house. Regarding the whereabouts of the woman from the Western Regions, Qiu Qingzhi said that the woman from the Western Regions was a spy and had been captured by the Jinwu Guards.
Feng Jian, the minister of the Ministry of War, asked Dali Temple to jointly handle the case. A man named Zhao Ruyi was found dead at home with many scars on his body. He obviously suffered a lot of torture before his death. Zhao Ruyi was a well-known criminal thief a few years ago and was good at picking locks. After spending several years in prison, he changed his ways and returned to normal. Li Cake asked Shendu if the counter had been stolen recently, and after enquiry, there was indeed a cash box.
The shopkeeper told Li Cake that he had just learned that a tunnel had been dug in his store. One of the customers' cabinets had signs of being unlocked, and half of the key was left in the lock, but none of the money was missing. Several people began to discuss the motive of the perpetrator. Li Bing asked Mingjingtang to work in two groups to find out the news. Sun Bao walked to the street and said that the perpetrator's methods were very similar to those of military scouts, but it was difficult to connect the two.
