Episode 8
In Sun Chuanfu's residence, Chu Zhao temporarily lived here as an inspector of the Ministry of War.Sun Chuanfu tried to find out the news about Xu Jingfu, but Chu Zhao remained silent, making it difficult for Sun Chuanfu to guess his intentions.At this time, He Yan and Xiao Jue, who were pretending to be Cheng Lisu, arrived at Sun's mansion. He Yan recognized Chu Zhao, but Chu Zhao tacitly did not reveal her identity.Sun Chuanfu took his son Sun Ling to apologize to Heyan and Xiao Jue, and Sun Ling's attitude was very different from before.
At the banquet, Sun Chuanfu complained that the Yezhou treasury was deficit for years and it was difficult to support the military supplies of the Yezhou Guards.Xiao Jue directly proposed that Chu Zhao check the tax records of Yezhou County.As the topic changed, Sun Chuanfu ordered the dancer to perform a dance, and Ding Yi took the opportunity to toast Xiao Jue.He Yan noticed something strange in the wine, deliberately knocked over the wine glass, revealing the fact that the wine was toxic, and then the dancer attacked Xiao Jue.
Faced with the sudden change, Sun Chuanfu and his son hid under the table and pretended to call for help, their voices weak.He Yan and Xiao Jue joined forces to deal with the killer, and He Yan blocked the deadly medicine powder for Xiao Jue, causing him to be blind.The killers failed to escape and committed suicide.
Afterwards, Sun Chuanfu and others denied that it was related to the assassin, and Chu Zhao ordered a thorough investigation.Although He Yan pretended to be calm, Xiao Jue saw through her fear.Chu Zhao questioned Sun Chuanfu and Ding Yi, and the two admitted that they had planned, but Chu Zhao warned them not to implicate Xu Jingfu.Sun Chuanfu doubted the timing of Cheng Lisu knocking over the wine glass, and Ding Yi felt that Cheng Lisu seemed familiar.
After He Yan was blind, Xiao Jue took good care of her and even fed her porridge with her.The doctor came to treat him. He Yan tested his medical skills and found that he was ignorant, so he refused to treat him.Xiao Jue therefore suspected that He Yan was not blind and deliberately approached her to see the changes.He Yan successfully concealed Xiao Jue with his past experience.
Chu Zhao ordered Ying Xiang to find the accounts of Sun Chuanfu and Xu Jingfu's transaction, and He Yan took the opportunity to get close to Xiao Jue.She took advantage of her blindness to guide Xiao Jue to discover the secret room of Sun's mansion.Xiao Jue sneaked into Sun Ling's dormitory to explore the dark room while He Yan led the guard away.However, the secret code is complicated and Xiao Jue acts cautiously.He Yan made a loud noise, attracting Sun Ling's attention, and Chu Zhao promptly stopped Sun Ling from acting evil to He Yan.
