Episode 11

The story goes back to twelve years ago. Zhao Xinmin left his hometown and went to Beijing to take the exam. He first visited Wang Pingshi of Dali Temple. They were fellow villagers. Zhao Xinmin wanted to get Wang Pingshi's recommendation. There were many students standing by at his door. Wang Pingshi was an honest official and drove the students who gave gifts through the back door.

Zhao Xinmin waited for a long time before meeting Wang Pingshi. He couldn't wait to take out the article he wrote for him to correct him. Wang Pingshi praised him.A student returned the original owner to Wang Pingshi's painting. Wang Pingshi was ashamed. Last month, his family couldn't make a fuss, so he had to sell his painting for a few dou of rice. Wang Pingshi asked Zhao Xinmin to hang the painting, and Zhao Xinmin admired Wang Pingshi.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers broke into Wang's house to arrest people. Zhao Xinmin learned that Wang Pingshi had long placed his paintings in Jubaoxuan. The students bought them and gave them to Wang Pingshi. Afterwards, the boss of Jubaoxuan was equally divided with Wang Pingshi. Zhao Xinmin was so scared that he finally saw Wang Pingshi's positive appearance and secretly took the painting away.

The governor's house was suffering from rats. Zhao Xinmin's nephew bought a highly poisonous rat poison for Lin Yinu to dispose of. Zhao Xinmin asked his nephew to build a shed for He Youguang's chicken treasure first. Lin Yinu was anxious to build a shed, so he put the medicine bowl in his hand aside. He Youguang came to visit the shed and picked up the medicine bowl to feed the chickens. Lin Yinu was mute. When Zhao Xinmin realized that it was too late, He Youguang's chicken was poisoned to death. He was so angry that he made a big fuss and beat Li Yinniu to death. Li Shande came to find He Youguang's medicine to pass the pass. He saw that Lin Yinu was pitiful, so he took him as his helper and named him Ali.

The rats in the governor's mansion were rampant and walked around in front of people in broad daylight. He Youguang was very angry. He wanted to attack Lin Yinu again, and only then did he realize that Li Shande had to leave Lin Yinu. Zhao Xinmin repeatedly explained that he wanted Lin Yinu to be a spy, but He Youguang was still resolute.Amita suddenly came to file a complaint with He Youguang, and Su Liang paid money to help Li Shande transport lychees. Amita was worried that after the matter was successful, Su Liang's prestige in Hu Shang exceeded her, and she also wanted to transport lychees.

He Youguang advised Amita not to get involved in this matter. It would be impossible to accomplish this with just a few people. Moreover, he would never let Li Shande and Su Liang transport fresh lychees to Chang'an. The emperor would condemn him why he did not transport lychees in the past. Lingnan was located in a remote place and few court officials were interested in it before, so he was able to be the local emperor here. Once the lychees were transported to Chang'an, Lingnan would become a piece of fat meat, and the officials wanted to get a share of the pie. Then this would become his burial place. He Youguang asked Amita to try to stop this.

Zhao Xinmin was self-reliant and was depressed in the governor's office. He used his power to intercept the daily expenses. Unexpectedly, the interception of the rat-killing money almost caused a disaster. He went home and complained to his wife, and his wife also stood up for him. He almost became the top of Lingnan. If her father hadn't come forward to stop him, Zhao Xinmin would have gone to Chang'an to assist the emperor, and would not have to be cowardly with He Youguang every day. Zhao Xinmin heard his wife's words and felt a little relieved. He was glad that Li Shande took Lin Yinu away.

Zheng Ping'an learned from Yun Qing that his father did not commit suicide because of his crime, but was framed and killed by the right prime minister. Zheng Ping'an vowed to avenge his father. Others said slightest words and could not defeat the right prime minister at once. Yun Qing asked him to destroy He Youguang first, and also gave him an idea to let him alienate the relationship between Ami Ta and He Youguang. He asked Ami Ta about He Youguang's corruption and abuse of power from Ami Ta. Yun Qing analyzed that He Youguang set fire to the sea tiger in the Knight Tower. If Ami Ta learned that He Youguang was her enemy, he would definitely break up with He Youguang.

Zheng Ping'an didn't know how to get close to Ami Tower, and Yun Qing asked him to display his charm to seduce Ami Tower.When Zheng Ping'an heard that Amita and He Youguang were choosing horses at the west horse farm in the city, he took Dog'er to the horse farm, and bought a pair of straw sandals for Dog'er and invited Dog'er to eat rice noodles. Zheng Ping'an wanted to use the strategy of heroes to save beauty and won Amita's heart.

Zheng Ping'an came to the horse farm and saw Amita riding a horse from afar. He pretended to meet He Youguang by chance and wanted to buy a thousand-mile horse. He Youguang grandly introduced the best person in Amita's south of Shilingling. Zheng Ping'an praised Amita and wanted to invite her to dinner. Amita gave up on the excuse that he had something to do.

Su Liang heard that He Youguang took Amita to the horse farm to choose horses and deliberately raised the price. Obviously, he wanted to compete with them for horses. Su Liang told Li Shande about this matter as soon as possible. Li Shande wanted to buy horses with Amita. Su Liang and Amitashi were arch rivals, so he was inconvenient to come forward and reminded Li Shande to ask for more horses from Amita.

Li Shande came to find Amita in person, and asked for 130 horses. Amita suspected that he had falsely reported the number and embezzled. Li Shande told in detail about his plan to transport lychees. He wanted to open four transportation channels, each with fifteen stations. Amita agreed to sell the horse to him, but the debts of Ah Tong and the people of the Dong had to be paid off before the remaining flower she raised had faded. Li Shande took the initiative to take the remaining flower back for maintenance.

Li Shande carefully took care of the remaining flower. Zheng Ping'an advised him not to believe Amita and He Youguang. They would never let Li Shande transport the lychees back to Chang'an. Zheng Ping'an expressed his opinion on the spot that Amita would give the horse to Li Shande with his own hands.The next morning, Zheng Ping'an went to Fenglou to see Amita and persuaded Amita to sell the horses to Li Shande, lying that Li Shande was checking Lingnan's accounts. Li Shande was from a calculating subject, and he would soon find the loopholes in Lingnan, and Amita was half-believing and half-doubting.
