Episode 9 recap: Framed and falsely released Leng Mo Yan.
Shi Jian Chuan pursued the person behind the scenes, dressed in black and wearing a mask, thinking that he had caught Shi Jian Chuan. But to his surprise, the person took off the mask and claimed that it had been a long time since they last met. While Leng Mo Yan and Mei Shi Qi discussed how they had seen through the thief's scheme, they went to Furong Tower to find Luo Qingchen and see who the person from the Inspection Bureau was, as mentioned by Luo Qingchen.
Luo Qingchen drew a portrait of Shi Jian Chuan and claimed that he was the one who came to Furong Tower to select the singing girls. However, Leng Mo Yan noticed that Luo Qingchen had knowledge of martial arts, which Luo Qingchen refused to admit. Leng Mo Yan called Shi Jian Chuan to confront Luo Qingchen face to face, but Shi Jian Chuan, who claimed to be the top swordsman, said that the person in black had exceptional martial arts skills and he failed to catch them.
Shi Jian Chuan denied ever meeting Luo Qingchen and claimed that he was not qualified to choose the singing girls for the Jing Wang Mansion. In response, Leng Mo Yan teamed up with Mei Shi Qi to ambush Luo Qingchen and force him to demonstrate his martial arts skills. Mei Shi Qi confirmed that Luo Qingchen was indeed the white-clad female ghost. Leng Mo Yan ordered to take Luo Qingchen away, but Mei Shi Qi refused and resisted, resulting in being bound by Shi Jian Chuan at Furong Tower.
After Leng Mo Yan took Luo Qingchen away, Poloya Jia entered the room, and Mei Shi Qi was finally able to free herself and hurriedly went to the Inspection Bureau to rescue someone.
Luo Qingchen admitted to impersonating the female ghost and acknowledged that he was hiding in Furong Tower on the orders of his lord. Leng Mo Yan then took out the seal ink and asked Shi Jian Chuan to have Luo Qingchen affix his seal.
Luo Qingchen used the seal ink, but soon after, he died. The coroner couldn't determine the cause of death, but Mei Shi Qi discovered that she had been poisoned. Luo Qingchen was killed by the poison in the seal ink, making both Shi Jian Chuan and Leng Mo Yan suspects. Just then, Jiang Biyan arrived with the personnel from the Hidden Guard Bureau, and they planned to take Leng Mo Yan back for interrogation.
A conflict arose between the Inspection Bureau and the Hidden Guard Bureau. Seeing that they were about to engage in a fight, Mei Shi Qi stepped forward and reminded Leng Mo Yan not to let the Inspection Bureau face a catastrophe because of this incident. Upon hearing this, Leng Mo Yan ordered his men to stand down. Leng Mo Yan gave up resistance, causing the Hidden Guard Bureau to relax their guard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leng Mo Yan ambushed Jiang Biyan and escaped.
With Jiang Biyan being ambushed, the personnel from the Hidden Guard Bureau searched everywhere for Leng Mo Yan. Leng Mo Yan had nowhere to escape, but with the help of Mei Shi Qi, he managed to avoid being discovered. Mei Shi Qi brought Leng Mo Yan back to interrogate him about the truth behind Luo Qingchen's murder. Leng Mo Yan claimed that the person who poisoned Luo Qingchen must have been well-connected and that he needed to escape and investigate the truth.
