Wang Qi accompanied Chen Shi back to Chenjiazhuang. The village chief seemed unwilling to mention the two Chen Shi brothers. Wu Zetian's personal maid saw a demon cat in the palace, and sent an order to Zhongshu to come to the palace to see him. Lai Zhongshu knew that he could not handle it, so Wu Zetian demanded that the demon cat must be caught, otherwise he would give up his position to Li Cake.
Qiu Qingzhi's serious injury has not yet healed. Lai Zhongshu took off the Jinwu Guards commander's bracelet from Qiu Qingzhi's wrist. His desire for power could not be concealed. Returning to Dali Temple, Lai Zhongshu asked about the whereabouts of the four brothers from Mingjingtang and learned that they had all been expelled from Dali Temple. Lai Zhongshu ordered the four people to be silenced completely to avoid threatening him. After making arrangements, they walked to the river and rang the bell with their bracelets. Several boatmen covered their heads with black bags and brought Zhong Shu to meet the person behind the scenes.
Sun Bao and Alibaba sent a message to Jinwuwei on time. Alibaba suddenly remembered that the sculpture he saw in Wang Zhi's home had been secretly investigated by Shui Guocheng. It was a statue of a god worshiped by Zixu Kingdom in the Western Regions. However, one of the statue's arms was broken, indicating that Li Cake probably didn't want everyone to see it. When the two were talking, they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats passing by. It was the messenger of Jin Wuwei. Sun Bao intercepted it and found out that Lai Zhongshu had ordered to kill the four brothers of Mingjingtang.
Although Chen Shi was not popular, he still brought Shendu specialties to several of his brothers in the village. The village chief Chen Datang repeatedly emphasized that he had not received a letter from Chen Jiu. The one-eyed dragon Chen Qi suddenly walked into the room and declared that he had kept Chen Jiu's letter. , but will not be handed over to Chen Shi. It turns out that Chen Jiu once designed a trap for Chen Qi during hunting, causing Chen Qi to lose his sight with one of his glasses. Chen Qi always kept this hatred in mind, and also suggested that there was a spiritual beast outside the village. , if Chen Shi and others can capture him, they will hand over the letter.
The reason why Chen Qi made this request was because Chen Shi had been kind since he was a child and could not bear to hunt any prey. He concluded that Chen Shi would not be able to finish it. However, Chen Shi was eager to investigate the cause of his brother's death and could not care too much. After some discussion, Chen Shi Pick up and prepare yourself to act as bait to lure out prey.
Chen Shi had just walked outside the village when he heard a mysterious voice reaching his ears. He guessed it was a flower. Chen Qi found Chen Shi and others in the lobby, saying that Chen Qi just said something out of anger, and asked them to leave quickly. Chen Shi was angry and ran to Chen Qi's house to inquire about the matter. He found that Yi Zhihua had put a hunting jacket on Chen Qi's head and asked for a letter from the Black Rakshasa.
Chen Shi told Yi Zhihua that he knew the content of the letter and asked Yi Zhihua to let Chen Qi go. He told the secret alone. Yi Zhihua kidnapped Chen Shi outside the village. Chen Shi asked about the relationship between Yi Zhihua and Chen Jiu, but Yi Zhihua did not hide anything. , and finally asked if he believed Li Cake was a monster. Chen Shi defended Li Cake in every way, and took the opportunity to send a fire message, and Yi Zhihua left in a hurry. Chen Qi was moved by Chen Shi and handed over Chen Jiu's letter. There was a pattern symbol painted on the letter. Chen Jiu told him that if he encounters difficulties, he should find someone who knows this symbol.
Li Cake was summoned to the palace for an audience, and Lai Zhongshu suddenly broke into the palace, saying that there were very important clues that required Li Cake to cooperate with the investigation. After Wu Zetian agreed, Lai Zhongshu took Li Cake into the prison, and directly used the pre-arranged The mechanism trapped Li Cake, and then took out powder and sprinkled it on Li Cake, who soon turned into a white cat.
Li Cake, who turned into a white cat, walked out of the iron cage directly and exchanged hands with Lai Zhongshu. Several officers and soldiers shot with arrows. Li Cake dodged to the side, and the arrow directly hit Lai Zhongshu. Li Cake knew that he could not say anything. After being cleared, he prepared to escape from the prison. Just as he ran to the door, he was hit by an arrow from Qiu Qingzhi who was standing on the city wall and fell heavily to the ground.
