Episode 8 recap: The Mingjing Hall Investigation Case.

After Li Bing left, he hurried to the destination and took out the half piece of jade pendant. The merchants inside instantly changed their expression upon seeing the item and took him to a place. On the other side, two people from the Jingtang immediately ran outside to inform another official about their preparations to return to work. However, when the person in front of them saw their low official rank, he completely disregarded them. The person standing next to him, who seemed to have received an education, politely informed them that it was the intention of the newly arrived Shaoqing. After hearing this, the other person still planned to give them some face and continue to cooperate with their work.

After Li Bing smoothly proceeded forward, he was taken by other people nearby and locked in a dark room. However, he showed no signs of fear and followed along directly. He was stopped by the guards next to him, who were preparing to deal with him. After going in without a clear understanding, Li Bing was taken by the other party to the fighting arena. It was then that he understood the intention of the person in front of him and had no choice but to brace himself and step onto the stage. At this moment, the person wearing a mask in the arena was a savage who had never lost a match before. He ruthlessly attacked Li Bing with fatal moves. However, Li Bing immediately displayed his own unique skills and fought back without hesitation, showing no signs of fear. Unexpectedly, every move he made was quickly noticed by the woman in the black cloak standing above the arena.

After successfully winning the match, the people nearby took Li Bing to another location. Unexpectedly, upon entering, Li Bing saw a veiled woman and continued to aggressively inquire about the identity of the mysterious person. The woman in front of him didn't expect that he was completely unaware and revealed some useful clues. After revealing his identity, the young man left the scene with his mask, instructing the woman not to tell anyone about the sad things that had happened to him.

Chen Shi, alone in the room, noticed the young girl sitting nervously next to him. Thinking that she was hungry again, he prepared to cook for her. However, at this moment, the person in front of him hastily left the scene.

After obtaining the mask, Li Bing continued to examine it carefully. After noticing some clues, he also discovered a line of text inside. Without hesitation, he took a nearby pen and wrote it down, preparing to continue observing.

After the members of the Mingjing Hall finished reviewing the case files, they returned to their previous location. Unexpectedly, even after they had left, the other party remained indifferent. One of the quick-thinking individuals deliberately left A Li Ba Ba and another person in the room, while taking the others with him to go and investigate the entrance of the young girl's uncle's house.

Later, the members of the Mingjing Hall began to question further about the situation regarding the uncle. They happened to catch an old woman who had stolen a jar and directly interrogated her for some clues. At this moment, the old woman revealed that the uncle had been very kind to her sister, sacrificing and scrimping on daily necessities to seek medical treatment for her. After their return from the drowning incident, he seemed to have the demeanor of someone who wanted to jump into a river. Upon hearing this, the person immediately took something and left the scene.

After finding the clue, the members of the Mingjing Hall rushed to inquire around the vicinity of the uncle's acquaintances to gather useful information. They quickly located someone who had previously argued with the victim and continued to question him for more valuable clues. The person became somewhat fearful upon hearing their words but gathered the courage to mention that the victim had come to his door asking for roof repairs. However, due to continuous nitpicking and claims of a leaky roof, his patience wore thin, and he planned to wait for a rainy day to inspect the situation. The members of the Mingjing Hall shook their heads in disbelief and started to press him for more information, urging him to provide witnesses and physical evidence to prove his innocence.

Upon returning, Li Bing proposed to the nearby Shangguan Qin that they should make a trip to the secret chamber. After entering, Li Bing showed his familiarity with the surroundings and prepared to reconcile with the person in front of him, facing everything together.
