Episode 5 recap: Chen Man Cang emerged victorious.

Within ten days, Chen Man Cang broke the monopoly held by three other dominant forces through his own means. This delighted Yun, the shopkeeper who was sitting inside the room. Soon, Yun's grandmother rushed over upon hearing about Chen Man Cang's achievements, having also heard some rumors. At this moment, Yun, the shopkeeper, took his grandmother's hand and expressed that if Chen Man Cang could lead the common people and make the people in the city prosperous, regardless of whether this variable was good or bad, he was willing to give it a try.

When Chen Man Cang gained the trust of the city lord, the three elders gathered together and expressed their dissatisfaction. Initially, some people nearby even prepared to take action against him. However, another elder quickly disagreed and planned to use Chen Man Cang to bring down the city lord. Upon returning, while others were getting drunk, they kept thanking Chen Man Cang for saving their lives. They knew that without him, they wouldn't have the opportunities they have today. They also pulled Yun, the shopkeeper, aside, preparing to continue making a large profit in the future.

Seeing his great ambition, Yun, the shopkeeper, decided to test the people in front of him. Just when Chen Man Cang was feeling triumphant, unexpectedly, those people suddenly visited him and brought up something he had promised before. When Chen Man Cang appeared before the city lord, he continued to flatter him, and upon hearing that it was a good thing, the city lord began to support him.
