Lu Biao is beheaded and Yao Wei is missing. Qing Gao orders Zhao Li to take Lu Biao's place temporarily. Siwei and Zhenzhen go to Yamen to find Xia houwu, and then they know that he's taking a few days off. Before they left, they heard duo Hua and others say that doctor Guo Sai had treated Yao Wei's scratched wound, and learned that Dao gang and Yao Wei were two apprentices.
Four dimensional forces and entices Guosai to say that Mengji has bribed him to cheat Yaowei. The reason why he can't cure Yaowei's wounds may be that he encounters evil spirits and persuades Yaowei to pray for blessings.
Siwei and Zhenzhen guess that Daogang instructs Yaowei to kill Dashan, and Yaowei also needs to scratch himself with Dashan's hand to leave blood stains, so as to confuse the public. Zhenzhen remembers that Mengji once said that the people who want to kill Dashan must be Daogang and Jingquan, so she guesses that Mengji may have been to Yaowei's house and advised Yaowei to go to court to point out the backstage.
Mengji's shoes found on the cliff
Zhenzhen accidentally finds her father Mengji's shoes on the cliff outside Yaowei's house. She takes her father's shoes to the Yamen to find Xia houwu, but Xia houwu says she has resigned. Zhenzhen tells the relationship between Yaowei and Dashan's murder, and points out that Jingquan has misled them all the time. Xia houwu doesn't care and wants to leave. Zhenzhen forbids him to leave, and asks him to find evidence to arrest Yaowei.
Xia houwu thinks that even if Yaowei is caught, Jingquan still has a way to get rid of the crime. He pointed out that the lawyer distorted the facts. As long as there were still lawyers in the world, there would be no justice for a day. He also repeatedly mentioned that Chen Mengji was the culprit who killed his father and Lu Biao!
Mengji trapped in the secret room of bieyuan
Shi Jie wants to tease Er Ming. Er Ming happens to stain his clothes and goes to clean them. Shi Jie follows him out of the backyard. In the secret room, Jingquan takes out a pig bone to Mengji, making fun of him as a dog.
Er Ming finds that a room in the other garden is locked. He tells Shi Jie that he doesn't know there is a other garden at home, because it's a forbidden area. It turns out that Mengji is trapped under the well of bieyuan here. Shijie seems to hear a sound from the well and yell at them with ER Ming. Mengji wants to call them, but the mirror covers his mouth. Shijie thought that what he heard was only an echo, and advised Er ming to leave. Dao Gang scolds Er Ming and Shi Jie for entering the forbidden area. Shi Jie doesn't put Dao gang in his eyes and is slapped by Dao gang.
Er Ming returns to pan family tree
Zhenzhen thinks that Mengji should still be alive from Siwei's words, because with Jingquan's character, Mengji will be locked up and tortured slowly. At this time, Jingquan sent someone to invite Zhenzhen to Panfu, and Zhenzhen answered the invitation. Zhenzhen found teeth marks on the back of Jingquan's hand. She thought that Mengji was the only one who dared to bite Jingquan. She also affirmed that Jingquan must be hiding his father's torture somewhere.
Zhou Ju goes to find fan Geng at night and is stopped by Zhou Lan's trap. Zhou Lan locks her sister with a chain. Zhou Ju is crying, but Zhou Lan still refuses to open the lock.
Er Ming defeated everyone and became the only disciple of Jingquan. Jing Quan said fan Geng was dead and decided to add Er's name to the genealogy.
Zhou Ju witnessed the murder
Xiahou Wu wants to kill Jingquan, but your name blocks it. The mirror doesn't want to be entangled by Xia houwu, suggesting that Dao gang will remove Xia houwu.
Bao Xiang thinks that Jingquan deserves what he has done. The law will punish him, not Xia houwu. Xia houwu resents the law, which will only let the lawyer frame good people, but can't punish bad people at all. Xia houwu even thinks that if there are lawyers in the world, there will be no justice. Only when all the lawyers in the world die, the world will become better.
After Shijie and Liang Zhi had a big meal in zhuangyuanlou, Shijie realized that Yinyi had run out. He framed the food problem and claimed to sue zhuangyuanlou as a lawyer. At the next table, Xia houwu can't see it. He teaches Shijie a lesson, and says he hates the lawyer most. He urges Shijie to pay the bill. Shijie had to leave two servants with him to work.
Duo Hua finds out that Zhou Ju is locked and releases her secretly. When Zhou Ju goes to the entrance of Qingxin County, she hears someone calling for help. She sees Xia houwu leaving from a back lane, and Liang Zhi lying in the corpse lane;
