The soldiers were finally able to go home, and they cheered for joy. Zhou Gaolang praised Zhou Ye for his good work. Ye Yun worships Qin Wanzhi as her master and learns medical skills from her. Liu Yuru asked the pretty-faced Ye Yun to help her try the rouge. The flood season of the Yellow River has come. Some ministers proposed that after the new government and new policies, the floods of the Yellow River should be cured, and the diseases of Li Shu should be the top priority. To recover Ku Yin, the account should be checked and the expenses clarified, but some people proposed to reduce their salary to make up for this big hole, so Gu Jiusi sneered, and laughed at himself that these people did not understand the righteousness. Although the accounts were heavy, Gu Jiusi took the initiative to take on this difficult task, and Fan Yu also asked Ying to take over, but the emperor refused because of his inexperience.

The emperor asked Lu Aiqing to take Gu Jiusi with him, and Lu Aiqing said that he would help with all his money. After going to court, Gu Jiusi asked Lu Shangshu when he could check the accounts, but Lu Shangshu stopped him from checking the accounts for various reasons. Yin Hong is now able to take charge of her own affairs, even without Liu Yuru, she still manages Huarong very well. Gu Jiusi was waiting for Liu Chun to be on duty in the warehouse department. Liu Chun also said that he needed various documents and procedures to check the accounts, and the procedures were very complicated. Liu Chun and Lu Shangshu made up their minds to make things difficult for Gu Jiusi, and they would not let him check the account books easily. Seeing that Gu Jiusi was still in the Dubu, Chen Qianzhong, a doctor in the Jinbu, took the initiative to help. He had worked in the Dubu for a year before he understood the process and saw the account books of the household department.

Gu Jiusi was very surprised. He didn't expect it would take a year to see the account books. Chen Qianzhong was also a person who wanted to check the old accounts. He said that checking the accounts would surely offend many people. Not only were the old accounts difficult to check, but the new accounts could also be changed. Chen Qianzhong has been an official in the court for twenty years. He could see that Gu Jiusi really wanted to investigate the old accounts of the previous court, so he provided him with three names, namely Xiong Zhiquan from the Ministry of War, Wen Ruxu from the Ministry of Li, and Han Guangyuan from the Ministry of Officials. The three are key figures in tracking down the old accounts of the previous dynasty. According to the characteristics of these three people, Zhou Ye, Ye Shian and Gu Jiusi contacted each other one by one. No matter how much money Gu Jiusi gave, Han Guangyuan's hob meat was not enough, so he didn't easily give the Baiguan collection to Gu Jiusi.

Gu Jiusi realized that it was his uncle Jiang He who asked Chen Qianzhong to help him. Only then did Chen Qianzhong smile and tell Jiang He's instructions. For Han Guangyuan, even Jiang He couldn't tell the difference between loyalty and traitor, so he had to rely on Gu Jiusi to find out by himself. A month later, Gu Jiusi found out that there was a gap of 1,500, and he suggested to the emperor to thoroughly investigate the treasury bank, reward those who are incorruptible, and severely punish those who are corrupt. The emperor entrusted Gu Jiusi with the matter of thorough investigation and recovery. Gu Jiusi asked for more manpower, and the emperor agreed. Apart from Shen Ming, Zhou Ye, and Ye Shi'an, Xiong Zhiquan from the Ministry of War and Wenxu from the Ministry of Li all stood up and offered to help. At first, Fan Yu thought that Gu Jiusi would run into a wall, but now seeing this scene, he was very angry.

Fan Yu wanted to go to the emperor to report his recent progress, but when he heard his father boasting about Gu Jiusi, he was even more jealous. Liu Chun was worried that Gu Jiusi would really find out the clues, and Lu Yong said that the nobleman would come soon, extinguishing the three fires of Gu Jiusi's appointment. Not long after, Luo Zishang appeared in front of Gu Jiusi as the prince and Taifu. Gu Jiusi gushed out hatred, but couldn't vent it. Luo Zishang was good at guessing people's hearts, and with a few simple words, he won Fan Yu's trust.
