在口头为百姓说话的行为导致失职后，公差杨和李乙逐步了解到，贪婪的萧太师利用权力强抢民女并诬 accusations against Yang Zhenda and Wen Ximing. Just as they were discussing their next move, they overheard a rumor that Chen Xiu, the new magistrate, had secretly returned home to marry before taking office. Seizing this opportunity, Yang cleverly impersonated Chen as a ruse to clear the names of Yang Zhenda and others wrongfully imprisoned. He also confronted and reprimanded Beigong Si, the culprit behind these misdeeds, confiscating the bribes and distributing them among the victims' families.
A few days later, Chen Xiu officially took office and met with Beigong Si, neither admitting to deception. To settle the matter, they decided to undergo the traditional rite of "fingerprinting" together in public. In a brilliant stroke of genius, Yang devised a cunning plan to swap fingerprints. On the day of the ceremony, Li Bi arrived in a panic with news of a fire at the bureau, causing chaos among the crowd. Seizing the moment, Yang swiftly swapped Chen's seal with his own, effectively legitimizing his own impersonation and imprisoning Chen instead.
With Beigong Si handed over to local authorities for prosecution, Yang and Li feigned a trip abroad while maintaining their innocence. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in their pursuit of justice and the dismantling of corruption within their jurisdiction.
