Iron Blood

In 1936, the Red Army was extremely short of ammunition in the hard battle against the Japanese invaders. Communist Party member Qi Ying was ordered by the organization to come to Donghe, hoping to buy copper from the Dong family. At the same time, the Shanxi warlords, the Kuomintang and Japanese spies also gathered here, eyeing the Dong family copper mine. Dong Shouwang, the second young master of the Dong family, accidentally disrupted the underground party organization's purchase plan and was accidentally involved in this treacherous spy war. Under Qi Ying's guidance, he eventually grew from a bohemian dandy to a determined anti-Japanese fighter. [2]

Episode 1
In the summer of 1936, the situation was chaotic and unpredictable. The Japanese army frequently increased its troops in North China, and the war was imminent. The copper produced by the Dong family in Shanxi was an important strategic material necessary for the war, and thus became the core of the struggle among various forces. In the small Donghe County, there was a treacherous battle for it. Because the Red Army and the Japanese invaders were fighting hard and ammunition was extremely scarce, Qi Ying, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, came to Donghe on the order of the organization, hoping to buy copper from the Dong family to complete the task. Ma Jixing, the captain of the Blue Shirts Society, received a mysterious telegram and ordered the implementation of Plan No. 2, which was to assassinate Commissioner Chen. On the other side, the Jianghu hero Sheng Tiefo knocked out the railway repairman and replaced him, closely watching all the actions in the Donghe Railway Station. Dong Shouye, the eldest son of the Dong family, ordered the housekeeper to drive his German car to Dong Shouwang, the second son of the Dong family, to pick up Commissioner Chen who was about to arrive in Donghe. Commissioner Chen was an important commissioner sent by the provincial capital to collect materials. Unexpectedly, the German car had already been dismantled by Dong Shouwang to the skeleton, which was used to make airplane materials. Manager Qu of Fuxing Mine came to report to Dong Shouye that the Dong family's copper was in short supply. At this time, Lingjiao came to the mine to bring ginseng soup to Dong Shouye. Dong Shouye was delighted to see Lingjiao. At Donghe Railway Station, Mayor Ma of Donghe and his group personally greeted Commissioner Chen and exchanged pleasantries. Dong Shouwang successfully built an airplane by himself. He drove this homemade airplane to greet Commissioner Chen in a unique way, but unexpectedly, the airplane suddenly malfunctioned in mid-air, causing chaos at the welcoming scene. The Jianghu knight Sheng Tiefo took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Commissioner Chen, and Dong Shouwang was also regarded as a suspect because of the improper operation of the airplane, but because Dong Shouwang was injured and unconscious, he was sent to the hospital first. Dong Wenshi, the wife of the Dong family, is Dong Shouwang's mother. In the provincial office in the provincial capital, he talked with the provincial government councilor Wu Shuhua to discuss the mining rights of Beishan Mine, but learned that Dong Shouwang had an accident, which led to the temporary suspension of the Beishan Mine. In the hospital, Wen Shang's daughter Wen Yuping, who is also Dong Shouwang's cousin, told Dong Shouwang that Commissioner Chen had been assassinated. It happened that Dong Shouye came to the hospital to question him, but Dong Shouwang pretended to be stupid and pitiful to avoid his brother's blame. The head of the security group Qiu Zhentang let the assassin escape, and Mayor Ma was attacking him. At this time, Dong Shouye, the eldest son of the Dong family, found Mayor Ma because his younger brother Dong Shouwang was detained in the hospital as a suspect, and asked him to take Dong Shouwang home to recuperate. Qi Ying met with the hotel manager Hu Yuhan to discuss the mission of this trip and seek support. Dong Shouwang was depressed at home and wanted to find out the cause of the plane crash. When he was checking the film that recorded the accident that day, he saw Qi Ying's figure, which reminded him of an old friend. The provincial government called to criticize Donghe upon learning of the incident. Mayor Ma was furious in his office and ordered a city blockade to find the murderer. The head of the security team believed that Dong Shouwang was a great suspect and should be arrested for questioning. Mayor Ma weighed the pros and cons and gave up because he was afraid of the power of the Dong family. Qi Ying ordered his assistant Yang Fan to find the murderer who assassinated Commissioner Chen. Dong Shouwang happened to be wandering outside and was held hostage by the murderer who assassinated Commissioner Chen.

Episode 2
Dong Shouwang used a trick to pretend to be dead and caught the murderer. He admired the murderer's backbone and wanted to hide the murderer instead of handing him over to the security group. The reason was that the Commissioner Chen assassinated by the Jianghu hero Sheng Tiefu was sent by the higher authorities to extort money from the people. Ling Shan, the provincial government staff, was puzzled as to why Governor Wu, who had already analyzed that the assassination was done by the Nanjing government, did not blame the Nanjing government and let Mayor Ma take the blame. He also proposed to the Senate President Wu Shuhua that they could take the opportunity to force Chiang Kai-shek to step down. Senate President Wu Shuhua was very angry when she heard this, thinking that this would definitely cause a war in the Central Plains, leading to a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman would benefit, and the beneficiaries would be the Japanese. The Blue Shirts Society agents chased Sheng Tiefu and wanted to kill him to silence him. Sheng Tiefu could only flee back to Dong Shouwang and asked Dong Shouwang to send him out of the city. Dong Shouwang asked Sheng Tiefu to help him find someone as a condition. Dong Wenshi came to the arsenal to watch the test firing of the artillery. Li Zhengkai, the director of the arsenal, praised Mrs. Dong and thanked the Dong family for providing the copper, which made his arsenal so prosperous. Dong Wenshi took the opportunity to ask Wu Shuhua, the provincial senate president, for Mayor Ma. Senate President Wu Shuhua talked with staff officer Ling Shan, during which she mentioned that Dong Wenshi wanted Ling Shan's sister Ling Yu to be her daughter-in-law. Wu Shuhua planned to suggest that Ling Shan marry the Dong family, so that all the copper from the Dong family could belong to the army. Guan Jianyun is a descendant of Guan Yunchang. He is responsible for the security of the Fuxing Copper Mine and helps guard the mine. He accidentally discovered that someone had stolen the copper and hid it in the roots of a big tree at the foot of the mountain. Guan Jianyun felt that he had failed to guard the mine and was derelict in his duty. He must find out who did it. Guan Jianyun sent his disciples to set up an ambush to catch the thief, but the thief escaped. When they fought, they learned that it was the Japanese. Qi Ying found Dong Shouye to buy copper, but was told to wait and could not give her copper for the time being. Guan Jianyun went out of the city to deliver goods, and Dong Shouwang took the opportunity to use the delivery carriage to send the assassin Sheng Tiefo out of the city. Sheng Tiefo reminded Dong Shouwang when he left that the woman he was looking for was not simple, and warned him to be careful not to get into trouble. He also left a dart for Dong Shouwang, asking him to take the dart to Baiyun Mountain to find him when he was in trouble. Qi Ying asked to get close to Dong Shouwang, and find a way to get copper from Dong Shouwang, and by the way, he wanted to find out whether the matter of Commissioner Chen had anything to do with him. Hotel manager Hu Yuhan reminded Qi Ying that Dong Shouwang was not simple. Although he looked absurd, he was actually quite thoughtful.

Episode 3
It turned out that the Japanese stole the copper from Dong's Fuxing Mine in order to test the copper content. They found that Dong's copper mine was of high quality and very suitable for military use. Colonel Inoue, the director of the Japanese intelligence department, knew that the provincial arsenal attached great importance to Dong's family and the mine. Colonel Inoue planned to interfere and destroy the Fuxing Copper Mine. He tried his best to prevent the Fuxing Mine from supporting the provincial military. He could not affect the power of the empire in China. The more the enemy valued something, the more they would destroy it. He implemented the Fei Tou Man action plan at all costs. If they could not get it, they would destroy the Fuxing Copper Mine. He could not affect the power of the empire in China. The more the enemy valued something, the more they would destroy it. Dong Shouwang continued to prepare to start tinkering with his plane in the warehouse, but found that there was a commotion outside the warehouse. A large number of victims settled in his territory. Dong Shouwang was dissatisfied with the victims occupying his place and was angry about why Mayor Ma did not provide disaster relief to the refugees. So the refugees instigated him to find Mayor Ma to come forward. In order to compete for the mining rights of Beishan Mine, Wen Shang deliberately complained to Mayor Ma and attributed the assassination of Commissioner Chen to Dong Shouwang. Wen Shang took the opportunity to propose to Mayor Ma to cooperate to obtain copper from Beishan Mine. Unfortunately, the victims and Dong Shouwang came to the door. Qi Ying also rushed to the scene after learning about it. Hotel manager Hu Yuhan was on the side and talked about Dong Shouwang having a girlfriend who ran away from home for her and wandered in Shanghai. She was only recently found by Dong's mother. After listening to Qi Ying, her expression was complicated and full of worries. Dong Shouye also came after hearing the news. He brought out Dong's mother to put pressure on him and took Shouwang, who was making trouble, back home. Dong's mother scolded Shouwang at home, thinking that Shouwang looked cynical and didn't know how to admit his mistakes. She reluctantly used the family law. The housekeeper couldn't bear it and just pretended, so Shouwang escaped punishment. Guan Jianyun's disciple caught the traitor Gao Da Ge who stole the mine and handed him over to Guan Jianyun for interrogation. Gao Da Ge claimed that his family was poor and he stole the mine just to supplement his family income. Guan Ye spoke righteously and ordered the thief to be cut off to test him, but found that Gao Da Ge was not the person they were looking for. However, Guan Ye also saw that Gao Da Ge was not simple, so he deliberately let the tiger go back to the mountain, sent people to follow him, and ordered his disciples to continue to keep an eye on Fuxing Copper Mine. Hu Yuhan took Qi Ying to make cheongsam as a cover to meet with people to discuss things. It turned out that the thief Gao Da Ge was actually the underground party's response in Fuxing Mine. Qi Ying told everyone that she and Dong Shouwang were classmates, and she once again proposed to get close to Dong Shouwang. Gao Da Ge discussed with Qi Ying and others that if they couldn't buy copper, they would rob it. When Gao Da Ge went out, the underground party members reminded him that he was being followed, and he immediately got rid of the people who were following him, leaving Guan Jianyun's disciples empty-handed. Wen Shang's former classmate Mr. Fujii came to meet Wen Shang on the order of Colonel Inoue to revive the copper mine. Wen Shang took this opportunity to ask Fujii for help in winning the mining rights of Beishan Mine. Dong Shouwang was bored at home and wanted to take his cousin Wen Yuping out of the city for a ride, but was stopped by Fu Guanjia. The army transporting copper was ambushed by the Japanese army. The Japanese army pretended to be Communist guerrillas to rob copper. Qi Ying and his men also brought people to rob copper, so they had to exchange fire with the Japanese first. Dong Shouwang was bored at home and took his cousin Wen Yuping out of the city for a ride. They happened to encounter a three-way battle. Dong Shouwang hid in the bushes. The Japanese army was defeated and fled. Qi Ying's assistant Yang Fan was injured. In the chaos, Shouwang caught a glimpse of Qi Ying's figure and felt very familiar. When the Dong family learned about the copper robbery, they immediately reported it to the governor. Senate President Wu Shuhua and Provincial Government Staff Officer Lingshan also learned about the copper robbery. Lingshan suggested to wipe out the Donghe Communist guerrillas, but Wu Shuhua thought that the southern part was empty and troops could not be deployed for the time being. In the future, copper could be transported by special railways. Qi Ying obtained the organization's approval to approach Dong Shouwang to obtain copper, so he sent a dressing box to Dong Shouwang, which immediately reminded Shouwang of his school days.

Episode 4
Dong Shouwang recalled a female classmate he used to tease. He even deliberately stepped on a white ping-pong ball of that female classmate. The female classmate was Qi Ying. He opened the dressing box and found a white ball inside. He recognized her immediately. Dong Shouwang went to see Qi Ying. Qi Ying recalled the past when Shouwang teased her and ridiculed Dong Shouwang for not knowing how to cherish women. Shouwang was embarrassed and counterattacked that Qi Ying was not kind at that time and often reported him to the teacher, so he took a small revenge. Shouwang teased Qi Ying whether she came to Donghe to find him, because he said in college that if no one married her, he, Dong Shouwang, would definitely marry her. He also asked where Qi Ying had gone without saying goodbye all these years, but Qi Ying found an excuse to evade it, but Dong Shouwang looked suspicious. In order not to expose her identity, Qi Ying had to lie to Dong Shouwang. She was doing business now and came to Donghe to buy copper for the company. Dong Shouwang accused Qi Ying of only shouting slogans to save the country with an incredulous look on his face. He took Qi Ying to see the plane he made and proved to Qi Ying that he was the one who was truly saving the country. On the other side, Mayor Ma's son Ma Jixing wrote to his father and told him that the death of Commissioner Chen was caused by the Nanjing government. Commissioner Chen acted improperly, so he was punished, but it caused trouble for his father. Ma Jixing told his father that he could get away with it by blaming the Communist Party. Mayor Ma burned the letter immediately after reading it. Mayor Ma called Secretary Zeng and Head of the Security Corps Qiu to discuss the capture of the murderer. Secretary Zeng analyzed that the murderer must be related to the Nanjing government, but Mayor Ma said that if the matter was put on the head of the Communist Party, the provincial government and Nanjing would be at peace, and naturally he would not be embarrassed as a small mayor. Head of the Security Corps Qiu was at a loss for how to catch the murderer. His men recalled that the whole city was blocked and all people leaving the city were checked, but the only transport vehicle that Guan Jianyun took out of the city was not checked. Head of the Security Corps Qiu was also Guan Jianyun's apprentice, and he believed that his master was a good person. The subordinates continued to tell Captain Qiu that Dong Shouwang had followed him out of the city. Captain Qiu was furious when he heard this. He analyzed that Dong Shouwang was most afraid of Guan Jianyun and never did serious things. He suddenly followed Guan Jianyun out of the city to deliver goods. There must be something fishy. He had already thought of a plan to deal with Dong Shouwang. Captain Qiu of the security team came to the fireworks place New World and threatened the old woman Jin Fengxi of New World to force her to marry Yuyi, who made a living by singing and playing the piano in New World. Captain Qiu had long coveted Yuyi. Yuyi's family fell into poverty due to the war, and she had no choice but to fall into New World. Yuyi cried and didn't want to marry Captain Qiu. Fortunately, Dong Shouwang, a confidant, rescued her, so Captain Qiu was disappointed. After Qi Ying left, Dong Shouwang angrily hung Qi Ying's portrait on the wall and threw darts at the portrait to vent his anger. His follower Shengzi was full of doubts. The young master obviously liked Qi Ying but didn't admit it. At this time, Dong's mother came in and saw Qi Ying's portrait. She immediately warned Shouwang not to provoke those questionable women outside. At the same time, she came to ask why Dong Shouwang followed Guan Jianyun out of the city. Shouwang was eloquent and wanted to get away with it, but Dong's mother was aggressive and forced Dong Shouwang's personal attendant Shengzi to question him. Shengzi was scared and confessed everything to Dong's mother. Dong Shouwang was scolded again. Dong Shouwang had to admit that he released the murderer who assassinated Commissioner Chen just because he admired that man as a hero. Dong's mother knew about it and was worried. She didn't want the Dong family to provoke politics, fearing that they would be doomed, and warned everyone present not to reveal a word about this matter. Dong's mother asked Dong Shouye about Qi Ying. Dong Shouye told his mother that he didn't know her, but only knew that she came to buy copper. At the same time, Dong's mother told him to keep a close eye on the copper mine. Hotel manager Hu Yuhan was worried that Qi Ying would be emotional about Dong Shouwang, but Qi Ying said firmly that she would put the overall situation first. When Dong Shouwang came to the hotel, Qi Ying chose to avoid him on purpose, saying that it was not the right time and that she was planning something. Mayor Ma blamed the Communist Party for the assassination of Commissioner Chen. Senate President Wu Shuhua was very satisfied, which gave the Nanjing government and the provincial government a way out. Qi Ying and Hu Yuhan were very angry about their actions and denounced them for slandering the Communist Party without wanting to break up. Dong Shouwang was turned away by Qi Ying, so he wanted to see Yuyi, but he learned that Captain Qiu was going to marry Yuyi tonight.

Episode 5
Dong Shouwang rushed to the New World to find Yuyi to stop the marriage, and at the same time he questioned Jin Fengxi. Jin Fengxi had no choice but to tell her own difficulties. Dong Shouwang coerced and lured Jin Fengxi, and told her the interests involved. Ma Jixing, a special agent of the Blue Shirt Society, also liked Yuyi. Jin Fengxi didn't want to offend Dong Shouwang and Ma Jixing at the same time. Besides, Jin Fengxi and Captain Qiu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. In fact, she had also had feelings for Captain Qiu for a long time. She was persuaded by Dong Shouwang, so she agreed to replace Yuyi and marry Captain Qiu. At the wedding banquet, Dong Shouwang used a little trick to arrange the girls from the New World to try every means to get Captain Qiu drunk. On the wedding night, Captain Qiu was drunk and didn't recognize anyone. He mistook Jin Fengxi for Yuyi and entered the bridal chamber. As soon as Dong Shouwang returned home, he was caught by his mother. Dong's mother knew that Dong Shouwang went to attend the wedding of Captain Qiu. Dong's mother looked down on Captain Qiu, who was not upright on weekdays, and scolded Dong Shouwang for going in person. Dong Shouwang said that he went to the wedding because he saved Yuyi, and told Dong's mother with a proud face how he saved Yuyi by replacing the pillars. Captain Qiu dared to snatch Yuyi from him blatantly because he had caught Dong Shouwang's handle and knew that Dong Shouwang had left the city to let the assassin go. He thought that Dong Shouwang could only let him do whatever he wanted, but he didn't expect that Dong Shouwang was fearless and Captain Qiu was tricked by Dong Shouwang. Dong's mother was very angry after hearing this, saying that he was getting more and more crazy, so she punished Dong Shouwang and his follower Shengzi to kneel in the ancestral hall. When Captain Qiu woke up in the morning and saw that the person lying next to him was Jin Fengxi, he was furious and wanted to shoot her. Jin Fengxi was not afraid at all. She was well prepared and responded calmly. She said that she had also expressed her feelings to Captain Qiu and had been interested in him for a long time. She also seized his weakness of being afraid of things, so he didn't dare to really offend the Ma family and the Dong family. Captain Qiu couldn't resist Jin Fengxi's soft and hard tactics. In the end, Captain Qiu had to give in and recognized Jin Fengxi as his wife. Captain Qiu learned from his men that he was drunk last night because of Dong Shouwang's calculation. He was immediately filled with anger and vowed to retaliate against Dong Shouwang. Dong Shouwang went to the hotel to find Qi Ying, and happened to run into Captain Qiu. The two of them had a verbal battle in the hotel and almost started fighting. Hu Yuhan, who arrived, persuaded them to stop. Dong Shouwang took the opportunity to challenge Captain Qiu to the Guandi Temple to compete. Dong Shouwang's follower Shengzi was anxious because the young master was going to compete in the arena tomorrow, but Dong Shouwang looked calm and told Shengzi not to worry, he had already made up his mind. Mayor Ma inspected the situation of the victims. There were more and more victims, but less and less food, and he was at a loss for disaster relief. At this time, Wen Shang happened to bring people to deliver a car of disaster relief food to save Mayor Ma from his urgent need, and took the opportunity to introduce Teng Huawen, the head of Fulong Mining, to Mayor Ma. Qi Ying learned that Dong Shouwang was going to compete with Captain Qiu, so he went to the scene to find out. Dong Shouwang saw Qi Ying and made fun of her again, but Qi Ying deliberately said some polite words to anger him. In order to anger Qi Ying, Dong Shouwang deliberately introduced his cousin Wen Yuping as his girlfriend, but Qi Ying didn't care. Dong Shouwang was unhappy and took Wen Yuping away in front of Qi Ying. Dong Shouwang used a trick to let his cousin pretend to faint to send away the people guarding Guandi Temple, and stole Guandi's sword from the temple. This sword was the Qinglong Yanyue Sword of Guan Yu, the god of war in the Three Kingdoms, who passed five levels and killed six generals. Under the martial arts arena, there were already a bunch of people watching the excitement. Dong Shouwang boasted that he would definitely defeat Captain Qiu. Before the martial arts competition, Dong Shouwang took the initiative to sign a life and death agreement and proposed the rule that whoever kneeled first would admit defeat. When the competition was about to start, Dong Shouwang ordered people to take Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Captain Qiu had to kneel down when he saw the sword, so he could only admit defeat. It turns out that this is the rule of the Guan family disciples. Anyone who has worshipped the master must kneel when seeing this knife, otherwise he will be severely punished for being disrespectful to the master and destroying the ancestors. Although Captain Qiu has long been expelled from the master's sect, as long as he is still alive, he must kneel when seeing this knife. Wen Shang and Teng Huawen, the head of Fulong Mining, are also watching from the bottom of the ring. Teng Huawen is quite interested in him and sees that Dong Shouwang is not a simple person. Dong Shouwang and Captain Qiu are in a stalemate on the ring, and Guan Jianyun comes out to end the competition

Episode 11
Dong Shouye told his mother that he could not get the copper back. His mother was furious and ordered to drag the rebellious son Dong Shouwang out and beat him to death. He was stopped by his eldest brother Dong Shouye. Dong Shouwang confessed everything about stealing the copper. His mother was so disappointed that she almost fainted. In her rage, she confined Dong Shouwang to Guandi Temple. Dong's mother was very worried that Dong Shouwang would be bewitched by Qi Ying and get involved with the Japanese. She wanted Guan Jianyun to test Qi Ying. Guan Jianyun asked his disciple Yan Mingyue to find Qi Ying. Dong Shouwang was not convinced by the punishment and did not understand how his perfect plan could go wrong. Guan Jianyun scolded Dong Shouwang for almost destroying the Dong family for a woman and suspected that Qi Ying might have a relationship with the Japanese. However, Dong Shouwang believed in Qi Ying very much and begged Guan Jianyun not to embarrass Qi Ying. Hu Yuhan got the news from the organization to let Qi Ying evacuate Donghe. He suspected that the copper was robbed by Captain Qiu and thought it was a trap set by Dong Shouwang. He contacted the Donghe guerrillas to go to the security group to take back the copper. Qi Ying was unwilling to leave and believed in Dong Shouwang very much. He also disagreed with the guerrillas going to the security group to attack and make unnecessary sacrifices. This not only confirmed Mayor Ma's frame-up of the Communist Party, but also harmed the Dong family. He must act calmly. Dong Shouwang was confined to the ancestral hall by Dong's mother for a month. He wanted Shengzi and Zhao Huan to let him out but failed. His cousin Wen Yuping was also stopped when she went to see Dong Shouwang. Dong Shouwang came up with a plan to create smoke in the ancestral hall, so that Zhao Huan thought the ancestral hall was on fire, so he opened the door and went inside to put out the fire. Dong Shouwang wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was caught by Zhao Huan. Dong Shouwang had no choice but to take off his pants in front of Zhao Huan and shout indecent assault. Dong Shouwang took advantage of Zhao Huan's inattention and escaped. After Dong Shouwang escaped, he told Qi Ying that Guan Jianyun had suspected that she had a relationship with the Japanese and would definitely come to trouble her, so he asked Qi Ying to leave quickly and told Qi Ying that he believed Qi Ying would never work for the Japanese. Qi Ying was very touched by Dong Shouwang's trust in her. But Qi Ying said she didn't want to leave. She was invited by Guan Jianyun to come to Guan's house and be honest with Guan Jianyun. Guan Jianyun asked Qi Ying not to involve Dong Shouwang anymore, not to implicate the Dong family, and not to get involved in the copper mine in Dong's warehouse. As for the batch of cooked copper at the railway station, she could do whatever she wanted. Qi Ying promised to leave Donghe after getting the cooked copper. Dong Shouwang told Qi Ying that he would definitely help her get the copper again. Qi Ying said that she would not involve him again and did not want to implicate innocent people. Dong Shouwang did not agree. He would handle the copper issue and he would definitely find out the truth about the plan being leaked. Dong Shouwang suspected that there was something wrong with Qu Guanshi in the mine, so he went to investigate Qu Guanshi with Shengzi. Captain Qiu already knew that Dong Shouwang had bought a large number of firecrackers and released them into the New World. Guan Jianyun was afraid that Captain Qiu would seize the evidence and harm Dong Shouwang, so he came to the New World and found Jin Fengxi for help. Guan Jianyun had once saved Jin Fengxi and her mother, and Jin Fengxi had always remembered this favor, so she agreed.

Episode 12
Shengzi took Master Dong Shouwang to find the place where Manager Qu kept his mistress. The two of them lay in the corner and eavesdropped on the conversation between Manager Qu and his lover. They found that Manager Qu was colluding with the Japanese. When they were about to go back, they made a new discovery. They saw a Japanese spy going to Manager Qu's residence and whispering to Manager Qu. Dong Shouwang and Shengzi then followed the Japanese together, wanting to catch him to convict Manager Qu of his crime, but they didn't expect that the man they were following was very skilled in martial arts. Dong Shouwang and Shengzi were no match for him and could only flee in a hurry. Mr. Fujii and Wenshang already knew that Manager Qu had been exposed, so Fujii ordered him to be killed to silence him. However, Wenshang suggested that they wait until they got the batch of copper from the station before taking action. At that time, they could frame Manager Qu's death on the Communist Party, and then drag the Dong family into the water and frame the Dong family for colluding with the Communist Party, killing two birds with one stone. Wenshang ordered people to contact the bandit leader Guo Sanjiang around Donghe to cooperate with him in robbing copper. Dong Shouwang wanted to catch the Japanese spy but failed. He was unwilling to accept it, but because his opponent was too powerful, he knew that he was no match for him, so he thought of the Cast Iron Buddha and wanted to ask him for help. Guan Jianyun told Dong's mother about Qi Ying. Dong's mother hesitated and decided to give Qi Ying a chance, hoping that the Communist Party could rob the copper mine. Jin Fengxi was entrusted by Guan Jianyun to persuade Captain Qiu. Jin Fengxi persuaded Captain Qiu to stop targeting the Dong family and let Dong Shouwang go. Captain Qiu promised that he would not target Dong Shouwang again, but said that Dong Shouwang still could not escape this disaster and the provincial government would never give up. Dong Shouwang went to Baiyun Mountain in person and found the Cast Iron Buddha. Sheng Tiefu was not willing to help, so Dong Shouwang deliberately provoked him to help investigate who had framed the Communist Party, find the traitor, deal with the Japanese spies, and avenge the innocent victims who died tragically. Sheng Tiefu was a chivalrous man, so he had to intervene in injustice, so he agreed to help. Ma Jixing was shocked to learn about what happened in Donghe. His men reported that they had found out the backgrounds of Fujii and Qi Ying. Ma Jixing guessed that their purpose was to revolve around the Fuxing Mine, and he wanted to go back in person to find out the truth. Dong Shouwang came to the hotel to find Qi Ying, but Hu Yuhan lied that Qi Ying had left Donghe. Dong Shouwang was very angry when he heard it. Sheng Tiefu followed the Japanese spies and lost them when he followed them to the restaurant opened by Wen Shang. Dong Shouwang knew that Sheng Tiefu had not accomplished anything, so he scolded him. Shengtie Fo crushed the cup angrily, but still informed Dong Shouwang of the information he had found out. Shengtie Fo reminded Dong Shouwang to be careful of the bandits crossing Sanjiang. Dong Shouwang guessed that the bandits coming to Donghe from Sanjiang must want to take his copper, so he came up with a plan to swap the copper mine at the station.

Episode 13
Dong Shouwang came to the New World to find Jin Fengxi and told her that he would take action tonight and asked her to help hold Captain Qiu back. Otherwise, the two would fight to the death when they met tonight. Jin Fengxi didn't want anything to happen to either of them, so she quickly sent someone to call Captain Qiu to the New World. Jin Fengxi lied that it was her birthday and called a group of girls from the New World to celebrate together to hold Captain Qiu back. At the same time, Mayor Ma deliberately transferred some guards from the warehouse under the pretext of going to the countryside. Qi Ying also discussed with Hu Yuhan about robbing copper halfway. Guan Jianyun was worried that Dong Shouwang would participate in the copper robbery tonight, so he wanted to stop him. However, Dong Shouwang confidently told Guan Jianyun that he should be responsible for his work and that he must take back the copper he had lost, so that Guan Jianyun could trust him once. Guan Jianyun proposed that if he robbed the copper, he would send it to the Dong family, but Dong Shouwang said that this was promised to Qi Ying, and he must do what he said and keep his word. Dong Shouwang arranged for people to deliberately create chaos outside the warehouse when Guo Sanjiang and other bandits were transporting copper, so that Guo Sanjiang and his men could not see the goods in time and hurriedly took the goods and fled. Shengtie Fo and Guan Jianyun met unexpectedly outside the warehouse, but they did not expect Shengtie Fo to be Guan Jianyun's junior brother. The two had a grudge. Guan Jianyun once said that as long as Shengtie Fo was taken, he would definitely destroy his martial arts when he returned to Donghe. When Guan Jianyun was about to take action, he was stopped by Dong Shouwang. In the end, Guan Jianyun let Shengtie Fo go. Guo Sanjiang walked halfway and found something wrong, so he asked someone to check the goods, but found that the car was full of stones. He was very angry and wanted to leave, but was ambushed by the guerrillas. The guerrillas snatched the goods and found that they were cheated. The copper turned into stone. Dong Shouwang was overjoyed to get the copper, and he celebrated by drinking a little wine leisurely. Guan Jianyun informed Dong Shouwang's mother about Dong Shouwang's success in getting the copper back, and praised Dong Shouwang, knowing that he was only confused about small things, but was very clear about the big things. But Dong's mother was still worried that no matter how smart he was, he would fall into the hands of a woman and be harmed by Qi Ying. Dong's mother decided to hand Dong Shouwang over to Guan Jianyun and let Guan Jianyun teach him how to behave, so she called Dong Shouwang. Dong Shouwang thought that Dong's mother wanted to ask for punishment, so he took the initiative to admit his mistakes. In fact, Dong's mother was impressed by Dong Shouwang's getting the copper back and was relieved. On the other hand, Qi Ying was melancholy because of the failure of the mission. Without copper, bullets could not be made. He blamed himself for not getting copper and worried about how the soldiers in the front would fight the enemy. Mayor Ma was very anxious when he learned that the copper had been swapped and disappeared. Wen Shang analyzed that it must have been Dong Shouwang's doing, but he had no evidence. Fujii underestimated Dong Shouwang and thought that his usual bohemian behavior was just a disguise. He suspected that Dong Shouwang and Qi Ying were in the same group and were both Communists, but Wen Shang rejected this. He knew his nephew Dong Shouwang too well and was sure that Dong Shouwang would definitely not be a Communist. Dong Shouwang was playing ball with Shengzi and was waiting at home for Qi Ying to come and ask him for copper. Dong Shouwang was a little impatient when he saw that Qi Ying had not come to him for a long time. At this moment, the devil appeared.

Episode 14
Qi Ying came to Dong Shouwang to say goodbye to him. Seeing that Qi Ying was unhappy, Dong Shouwang gave her a surprise. Dong Shouwang deliberately teased Qi Ying and asked Qi Ying to say that she wanted to be his girlfriend. Dong Shouwang was very proud and happy. Qi Ying took people to load the copper and prepared to leave. Dong Shouwang thought that Qi Ying would stay in Donghe, but Qi Ying told Dong Shouwang that she would still leave Donghe for a while. Dong Shouwang felt that he was deceived and was furious. He had a big fight with Qi Ying and said that he never wanted to see Qi Ying again. Qi Ying was also sad and cried, but the transportation of copper was important, thinking that she would have a chance to explain it to Dong Shouwang in the future. Dong Shouwang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because of Qi Ying's departure. Sheng Tiefu came to Dong Shouwang and told him that the Japanese spy could not be tracked down for the time being, and asked Dong Shouwang to pay attention to his uncle Wen Shang. Sheng Tiefu guessed that Wen Shang had a relationship with the Japanese. In order to deal with Manager Qu, Dong Shouwang designed to let Manager Qu's wife and lover make a scene in public. The mistress accidentally revealed in public that Manager Qu had contacts with the Japanese. Manager Qu was sent to the Security Hall by Guan Jianyun for questioning. Dong Shouwang went to Captain Qiu to remind him that Manager Qu had colluded with the Japanese and should be strictly guarded, otherwise he would be killed and the Security Corps would be blamed. Mayor Ma explained to Dong's mother that the robbery of copper was done by bandits, but Dong's mother and Guan Jianyun provided clues to Mayor Ma, saying that it was done by the Japanese. At the same time, Mayor Ma told Dong's mother that Dong Shouwang might also be involved. According to the report of the Security Corps, they had been to the warehouse where the copper was stored before the accident. Dong's mother told Mayor Ma to rest assured to investigate. If Dong Shouwang was really involved, she would never cover it up. Dong's mother also put pressure on Mayor Ma to give an explanation to the Dong Mansion as soon as possible, and Mayor Ma felt more pressured. On the way back, Dong's mother was worried that Mayor Ma would really find out about Dong Shouwang, but Guan Jianyun assured her that he would take care of everything. Back at Dong's house, Dong's mother took out a hairpin, but her face was full of sadness and sorrow. This hairpin was given to her by Guan Jianyun, and she remembered the past with Guan Jianyun. It turned out that Dong's mother liked Guan Jianyun, but because the Wen family was in trouble, she had to marry into the Dong family and form an alliance with the Dong family. Mayor Ma called Wen Shang to his office and angrily asked if Wen Shang had any relationship with the Japanese. Mayor Ma said that he had not tried Manager Qu for a long time because Manager Qu had colluded with the Japanese and was Wen Shang's man. He was afraid that he would give Wen Shang out and implicate himself, so he had been dragging it out. Wen Shang pretended to be stupid and denied any connection with the Japanese. Mayor Ma sternly warned Wen Shang that he was absolutely not allowed to collude with the Japanese and never allowed to involve him. Wen Shang planned to use Manager Qu again to drag the Dong family into the water, let Manager Qu reveal to the provincial government that Dong Shouwang embezzled, and then kill Manager Qu to silence him. He suggested to Mayor Ma that Manager Qu be sent to the provincial capital for questioning, and the security team should send him to the provincial capital. Uncle Lingjiao caught the eldest son of the Dong family, Dong Shouye, infatuated with Lingjiao, and repeatedly ran to the Dong family to ask for money, but was caught by Dong Shouwang and Shengzi. Dong Shouwang and Shengzi followed Uncle Lingjiao to the casino and saw him gambling with the money that was swindled from the Dong family. Dong Shouwang was furious and rushed into the casino to beat him up.

Episode 15
Dong Shouwang chased Uncle Lingjiao to the street and ran into Ma Jixing. Ma Jixing and Dong Shouwang had been enemies since childhood and fought each other as soon as they met. This time, the two met again and fought each other again. The two wrestled together and others could not persuade them to stop. Finally, the security team came forward to persuade them to stop. Ma Jixing returned home with injuries and ordered his subordinate Ren Mingfeng to find Yuyi. Mayor Ma saw the injuries on Ma Jixing's body as soon as he returned home and blamed Ma Jixing for not being in good shape at such an age and fighting as soon as he came back. Dong Shouwang also had injuries on his face and looked unhappy at home. Shengzi suggested that if he wanted to beat Ma Jixing, he could learn a few moves from Uncle Guan Jianyun and then go for revenge. Wen Shang's men reported to Wen Shang that Dong Shouwang made a scene in Wen Shang's casino. Wen Shang found Lao Wang to find out the whole story. Lao Wang brought out the relationship between Lingjiao and Dong Shouye. Wen Shang deliberately threatened Lao Wang with the gambling debt he owed in the casino. Wen Shang wanted to use the relationship between Lao Wang and Lingjiao to open a gap with Dong Shouye. In the evening, Ma Jixing had dinner with his father, Mayor Ma, to discuss matters. Ma Jixing explained his identity to Mayor Ma. He is not in the Central Army now, but works in the Intelligence Bureau. He also told his father that he was the one who ordered the assassination of Commissioner Chen. Mayor Ma was shocked and worried when he heard it. Fujii and Wen Shang wanted to bring down the Dong family, so they wanted to start with Guan Jianyun and Dong Shouye, plant their own people around Guan Jianyun, and then plot against Dong Shouye to cut off Dong's mother's left and right arms, and the Dong family would not be able to hold on. Lao Wang went to the Dong family to redeem Lingjiao, but Lingjiao cried and didn't want to leave. Dong Shouye was very angry when he heard it, and promised Lingjiao that he would never let Lao Wang take her away. Lao Wang was unwilling to take Lingjiao away. Dong Shouwang was unhappy about Ma Jixing's affairs, so he went to Yuyi to chat and relieve his boredom. Dong Shouwang and Yuyi talked about Ma Jixing. Yuyi felt that Ma Jixing had forgotten her a long time ago. Although they had been childhood sweethearts, Yuyi's family was now in decline and she was trapped in a new world. She felt that she was no longer worthy of Ma Jixing, but Dong Shouwang didn't think so. At the gate of Guandi Temple, Yan Mingyue found a refugee fainted at the gate and rescued him. Refugee Li Xuran was rescued and asked Guan Jianyun to take him in. After hearing about his suffering, Guan Jianyun couldn't bear it and kept him. Dong Shouwang and Shengzi were practicing horse stance and wanted to learn martial arts. However, Zhao Huan, Dong's mother's personal female bodyguard, laughed at them and advised them to learn martial arts and not to cram at the last minute. She also informed Dong Shouwang that Dong's mother was meeting a guest and asked him to go to see her together. Qi Ying wanted to give the money for the copper to Dong's mother, not wanting to cause losses to the Dong family, but Dong's mother was unwilling to accept it, telling Qi Ying that if she accepted the money, it would mean that she sold the copper privately, and if she didn't accept it, she could say that she had lost the copper, and the provincial government and Mayor Ma would give the Dong family an explanation. Moreover, Dong's mother knew that Qi Ying was working for the Communist Party and that the Communist Party was also short of funds, so she was determined not to accept the money. Qi Ying took the money back when she heard it. At the same time, Dong's mother wanted Qi Ying to leave Donghe and stay away from Dong Shouwang, and Qi Ying had no choice but to agree to Dong's mother. Dong Shouwang was still angry when he saw Qi Ying, because of the last time Qi Ying left, so he ridiculed Qi Ying in his words as soon as they met Episode 16
Although Dong Shouwang was full of dissatisfaction with Qi Ying in his words, he was excited to see Qi Ying return to Donghe. In order to calm Dong Shouwang down and fulfill his promise, Qi Ying wrote a letter to the whole class to thank Dong Shouwang, praised Dong Shouwang's character, and apologized to Dong Shouwang, but Dong Shouwang was still dissatisfied. Qi Ying did not mention becoming his girlfriend in the letter. Qi Ying smiled and retorted that he knew what kind of person Dong Shouwang was and would never get her in this way alone. Qi Ying reminded Dong Shouwang of her identity from the side. She would always remember Dong Shouwang's feelings, but she didn't want to implicate Dong Shouwang again, so she proposed to keep a distance from Dong Shouwang, but Dong Shouwang resolutely refused and confessed his love to Qi Ying. Qi Ying was also very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Dong Shouwang proposed to be his girlfriend for at least one day, and Qi Ying agreed. Lingjiao went to the street with a maid to visit the market, but was kidnapped unexpectedly. The maid hurried back to inform Dong Shouye, and Dong Shouye hurried out to find Lingjiao. Dong Shouwang and Qi Ying were chatting in the teahouse, but Ma Jixing suddenly said that he was in the wrong place and sat down to join them. Ma Jixing and Dong Shouwang could not talk for two sentences, and they attacked each other again. Ma Jixing deliberately tested Qi Ying at the table and asked about the matter. Dong Shouwang was angry with Qi Ying, saying that he should be of the same mind as himself and should not give Ma Jixing a good face and talk to him so much. Qi Ying scolded Dong Shouwang for being stupid, and also found that Ma Jixing was not simple. Dong Shouye found Uncle Lingjiao in the casino and asked about the whereabouts of Lingjiao in the room of the restaurant opened by Wen Shang. Qi Ying brought new instructions from the organization to Hu Yuhan and told Hu Yuhan that she would stay in Donghe. Hu Yuhan was full of doubts. Qi Ying told Hu Yuhan that she asked the organization to stay in Donghe. The incident was caused by her. She must stay here to deal with the aftermath. She must protect the Dong family and guard the Fuxing Copper Mine. She told Hu Yuhan about her encounter with Ma Jixing today, and the two became alert. Dong Shouye found the restaurant opened by Wen Shang and saw a man doing something indecent to Lingjiao. Dong Shouye rushed over and wrestled with the man. Dong Shouye was defeated and fell to the ground. Lingjiao picked up the knife on the table to save Dong Shouye and stabbed the man to death. Wen Shang happened to come upstairs at this time and saw this scene. Wen Shang asked Dong Shouye to leave quickly and he would take care of the aftermath. Dong Shouye and Lingjiao were very scared and had to go back to the mansion first. Dong Shouye was caught by Wen Shang and was upset. Dong Shouwang realized that there must be something strange, so he asked Dong Shouye, but was scolded by Dong Shouye. Dong Shouye became more suspicious and asked Lingjiao, but Lingjiao kept silent. Lingshan reported to Councillor Wu about the trial of Manager Qu. He found out that the loss of copper in the Dong family was caused by Dong Shouwang's embezzlement, while the Dong Mansion said it was done by the Japanese. Both sides insisted on their own opinions. Councillor Wu had no choice but to send Lingshan to Donghe with Li Zhengkai from the arsenal to investigate the matter. He also issued an order to keep the Fuxing Mine and go to Donghe to investigate the site selection for rebuilding the arsenal. Wen Shang reported to Fujii that he had seized Dong Shouye's weakness and successfully framed Dong Shouye, who could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Episode 17
Qi Ying found the mistress that Manager Qu had kept outside, and planned to get clues about the Japanese from Manager Qu's lover Cuizhi. Qi Ying found Cuizhi, but found that Cuizhi was sick at home. Qi Ying lied that she was Manager Qu's distant cousin to get close to Cuizhi. Dong Shouwang chased Uncle Lingjiao Laowang on the street, but met Qi Ying who was on the street to buy food for Cuizhi. Qi Ying accused Dong Shouwang of making trouble on the street and left angrily. Unfortunately, Dong Shouwang ran into Ma Jixing again. Cuizhi complained to Qi Ying that she was retaliated by Manager Qu's wife and was beaten at home and could not go anywhere. Qi Ying gave her some money to heal her injuries. Qi Ying learned that Manager Qu had contact with the Japanese and also doubted Fujii's identity. Wen Shang found Laowang and gave him a sum of money to keep him quiet and let him leave Donghe. Ma Jixing's subordinate Ren Mingfeng found out Yuyi's whereabouts. Ma Jixing was surprised to hear that and stood up to look for Yuyi. When he arrived at the gate of New World, he regretted it and felt sorry for Yuyi and could not face her. He also realized that the mission was important and did not want his children's love to affect the business. Fujii and Wen Shang guessed that Ma Jixing must have a mission to come to Donghe, and it would be more difficult to win over Mayor Ma. Fujii suggested that Wen Shang marry the Ma family and let Wen Shang's daughter Wen Yuping marry Ma Jixing. Wen Shang said that with his daughter Wen Yuping's personality, this would be difficult to do. Wen Shang told Mayor Ma that he would definitely win the mining rights of Beishan with Mr. Fujii, and he needed Mayor Ma to help. Mayor Ma specially arranged for Lingshan and others sent by the provincial government to live in Fu Man Lou, a restaurant opened by Wen Shang. Dong's mother discussed with Dong Shouye and asked him to marry Lingshan's sister Lingyu, but Dong Shouye made it clear that he did not want to marry Lingyu. Dong's mother was angry but also made it clear that Dong Shouye was the boss of the family and had to consider the Dong family. This matter was not up to his will. Lingshan and Li Zhengkai were ordered to rush to Donghe. Mayor Ma, Dong's mother and other people and Qi Ying were waiting for reception at the train station. No one expected that Dong Shouwang would make a scene at their welcome ceremony. In front of Lingshan and Li Zhengkai, Dong Shouwang personally accused Mayor Ma of instigating the security team to shoot the victims. He wanted to stand up for the victims who died and wanted Lingshan and others to preside over justice and ask for an explanation. Dong's mother failed to dissuade Dong Shouwang and had to leave angrily. Dong Shouwang brought a group of refugees and the clothes of the victims to protest against injustice. Mayor Ma wanted to take Dong Shouwang back to the security team for disturbing public order, but Lingshan felt that Dong Shouwang was asking for his life and it was inappropriate. Lingshan promised the public that he would find out the facts and give everyone justice. Dong Shouwang returned to the mansion and was beaten by his mother, but was stopped by Guan Jianyun. Guan Jianyun felt that Dong Shouwang had a chivalrous heart and it was reasonable to do so. However, Dong's mother was still worried that Dong Shouwang's coming forward might be detrimental to the Dong Mansion and put the Dong Mansion into crisis.

Episode 18
Lingshan and Mayor Ma exchanged pleasantries. Li Zhengkai talked about how he had met Ma Jixing in a military workshop and praised Ma Jixing for his extraordinary talent. Mayor Ma told them that Ma Jixing had left the Central Army and wanted to find him a job locally. Dong's mother was still very worried about Dong's mansion and Dong Shouwang. Guan Jianyun was very concerned about Dong's mother and told her not to worry, saying that he would block the sky if it fell. Dong's mother discussed with him about stepping down and letting Dong Shouye take charge of the family. Lingshan came straight to the point to Mayor Ma and proposed to check the situation of Beishan Mine and wanted to build an arsenal in Donghe to use local materials. Fujii and Wen Shang saw the opportunity of Lingshan's investigation in Donghe and wanted to continue to create trouble for the Dong family, so that Lingshan and others would think that Dong's mansion had too many problems and was unreliable, and they would take advantage of the fire to rob Beishan Mine. Hu Yuhan came to inform Qi Ying in a hurry that Lingshan wanted to thoroughly investigate the theft of the mine and advised her to leave quickly. Qi Ying refused and said that she could not leave Dong Shouwang and the Dong family alone. Dong Shouwang and Qi Ying were taken to New World by the Security Corps to be questioned by Ling Shan. Ling Shan asked Jin Fengxi about Dong Shouwang in New World and checked the firecrackers that Dong Shouwang had placed in New World. However, he did not expect that Guan Jianyun and Jin Fengxi were well prepared. Qi Ying confronted Captain Qiu with her eloquence and put all the blame on the bandit Guo Sanjiang, and defeated Captain Qiu. Qi Ying and Dong Shouwang escaped. Dong Shouwang blamed Yu Yi for leaking the firecrackers to Captain Qiu, but Yu Yi cried and told Dong Shouwang that she had him in her heart and did not want Qi Ying to get close to him. Dong Shouwang resolutely told Yu Yi that he only treated her as a sister. Guan Jianyun visited Ling Shan for Dong Shouwang's matter, provided Ling Shan with clues about the copper theft, and led Ling Shan to investigate the Japanese. Lingjiao persuaded Dong Shouye to marry Lingshan's sister Lingyu. Dong Shouye confided his long-standing depression and repression to Lingjiao. As the eldest son of the Dong family, he could only live for the Dong family, not for himself. Dong Shouye proposed to run away with Lingjiao, but was suddenly interrupted by the housekeeper. Wen Shang wrote to Dong Shouye to discuss something and forced Dong Shouye to sell copper privately.

Episode 19
Dong Shouye was caught by his uncle Wen Shang and had to give in and agreed to sell the copper privately. Mayor Ma reprimanded Captain Qiu in his office for being eager to show off in front of Lingshan, but he was more likely to fail than accomplish anything. Mayor Ma also sighed that Dong Shouwang was not destined to die. Dong Shouwang and his cousin Wen Yuping met Ma Jixing while drinking tea on the street. Ma Jixing advised Wen Yuping to stay away from Dong Shouwang so as not to learn bad things from him. Wen Yuping looked at Ma Jixing with disdain. Ma Jixing tested Dong Shouwang and analyzed that Dong Shouwang stole the copper either for the Communist Party or for the Japanese. Dong Shouwang was angry when he heard it and said that he had nothing to do with the Japanese. Dong Shouwang was suddenly inspired by his cousin's casual words to catch Japanese spies. He could start with the women around Manager Qu. Ma Jixing followed Dong Shouwang to investigate. Dong Shouye returned to the Dong Mansion with a lot on his mind, which was noticed by Lingjiao, who hurriedly asked him about it. However, Dong Shouye asked Lingjiao to steal Dong's mother's seal. Lingjiao cried and didn't want Dong Shouye to go the wrong way, but Dong Shouye said he had no choice. Lingjiao was extremely reluctant to steal the seal, but for Dong Shouye she was willing to be stupid, indicating that even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she would face it together with him. Lingjiao succeeded in stealing Dong's mother's seal, but was caught by Zhao Huan, so Lingjiao made an excuse to avoid it. Qi Ying and Hu Yuhan went to find Cuizhi, the person in charge of Qu, but they were a step late. The Japanese spy Kojima killed Cuizhi. Qi Ying and Hu Yuhan hurriedly chased after them, but the Japanese spy escaped. Ma Jixing and Dong Shouwang also came to Cuizhi's residence, but found that Cuizhi had been murdered, so they hurried to catch the murderer. They happened to meet Japanese spies, so they rushed to chase him but were stopped by Captain Qiu, allowing the murderer to escape. Captain Qiu saw Cuizhi's body, but indiscriminately arrested Dong Shouwang as a suspect. Captain Qiu caught Dong Shouwang and wanted to determine Dong Shouwang's guilt, but was suddenly called over by Lingshan for questioning. It turned out that Ma Jixing testified in front of Lingshan that the murderer who killed Cuizhi was not Dong Shouwang, but Lingshan still warned Dong Shouwang that investigating the case was the government's business and he was not allowed to intervene. At this time, Mrs. Dong came to see Dong Shouwang again. Lingshan did not dare to offend Dong's mother, and told Dong's mother that she did not embarrass Dong Shouwang, but only invited Dong Shouwang to question him to help solve the case, and asked Dong's mother to strictly discipline Dong Shouwang, asking Dong Shouwang to do his duty well and not to interfere in the investigation. Dong Shouwang explained to his mother that he caught the Japanese spies because he learned from Qi Ying that the Japanese had set their sights on the copper mine of the Dong Mansion. However, Dong's mother said that it was a useless struggle for Dong Shouwang to fight the Japanese alone. Dong's mother threatened that if Dong Shouwang made trouble again, she would send him away from Donghe. Qi Ying was determined to dig out the Japanese spies, track them down, and protect the Fuxing Copper Mine. Mr. Fujii knew that Xiaodao had been exposed, so he ordered Xiaodao to disappear for a while to avoid the limelight.

Episode 20
Dong Shouye went to the mine to pick up the goods, but was stopped by Guan Jianyun's apprentice Yan Mingyue. Dong Shouye took out the delivery note with Dong's mother's seal and took away the copper mine. Li Xuran, the refugee who was rescued by Guan Jianyun and Yan Mingyue, persuaded Yan Mingyue that Dong Shouye must have his own ideas for taking the copper mine, so Yan Mingyue didn't need to break the casserole to get to the bottom of it and continued to hold on. Yan Mingyue was convinced and no longer suspicious. Dong Shouwang was still entangled in the matter of investigating Japanese spies. Shengzi persuaded Dong Shouwang to give up, but Dong Shouwang still didn't give up. Mayor Ma sent Secretary Zeng to take Li Zhengkai to inspect Beishan Mine and select the site for the arsenal. Secretary Zeng analyzed the current situation of Donghe to Li Zhengkai. Wenshang joined forces with Fujii of Fulong Mining to compete with the Dong family for the mining of Beishang Mine. Li Zhengkai immediately felt that the relationship was complicated. Qi Ying's assistant Yang Fan and Gao Da Ge accidentally discovered the cooked copper of Fuxing Copper Mine in the outer village. They realized that something was wrong and immediately notified Qi Ying. Qi Ying asked Yang Fan to keep an eye on the batch of copper. Dong Shouye secretly sent out the cooked copper, but as soon as he sent it out, he encountered Lingshan's warehouse inspection, and Dong Shouye was panicked. Lingshan suddenly wanted to inspect the copper mine to be sent to the province. Dong Shouye could not hide it anymore and could only tell them that he sold it to an old customer on his own initiative. Lingshan asked the Dong Mansion to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would report it to the provincial government. Qi Ying rushed to the Dong Mansion and hurriedly informed Dong Shouwang, and warned Dong Shouwang that more and more people were keeping an eye on the Fuxing Copper Mine in the Dong Mansion, and asked him to be careful. Dong Shouwang found that the situation was getting more and more serious. Lingshan suspected that the Dong family was in collusion with the Communists because of Dong Shouye's private sale of copper, and was somewhat shaken about handing over the mining of Beishan Mine to the Dong Mansion. Dong's mother was extremely disappointed with what Dong Shouye did, and she was bound to investigate the matter thoroughly and give Lingshan an explanation. Fujii meets Lingshan. It turns out that Fujii is Lingshan's superior. Fujii and Lingshan have cooperated for a long time. The two of them carried out the Feitouman operation ordered by the Japanese to destroy the Fuxing Copper Mine. Mr. Fujii provided Lingshan with the contract of Dong Shouye's private sale of copper to the Japanese, and asked him to report it to the provincial government as evidence to bring down the Dong family. Lingshan asked Fujii to keep his identity secret and not to tell anyone including Wen Shang and Mayor Ma. Dong Shouye recalled that Wen Shang had plotted against him and was terrified. He proposed to run away with Lingjiao and leave this place. Dong's mother was furious when she found out that the seal was stolen. She called Dong Shouwang, Dong Shouye and Lingjiao to the Dong family ancestral hall for questioning

Episode 21
In the Dong family ancestral hall, Dong's mother was severely questioning what happened, but Dong Shouwang took all the blame for his eldest brother Dong Shouye. Dong's mother still questioned and ordered Dong Shouwang to be dragged down and beaten, but was stopped by Guan Jianyun. Guan Jianyun suggested that Dong's mother should first find a way to give an explanation to Lingshan and Li Zhengkai. Dong's mother had no choice. She already knew about Lingjiao and Dong Shouye, and also learned that Lingjiao was also related to the theft of the seal. So she ordered Lingjiao to be expelled from the Dong Mansion, not wanting Lingjiao to be tied to Dong Shouye again. Lingjiao also didn't want to implicate Dong Shouye again, so he agreed with tears. Guan Jianyun and Dong's mother understood that in fact, this matter had nothing to do with Dong Shouwang, but Dong Shouwang took the initiative to take the blame for the brotherly love, and Dong's mother and Guan Jianyun were also very relieved. Dong Shouwang settled Lingjiao outside for his eldest brother. Lingjiao didn't understand why Dong Shouwang would take the blame for them, but Dong Shouwang said that it was just to save Lingjiao and didn't want to make his eldest brother sad. Lingjiao took the initiative to admit that she stole the seal, but she still didn't dare to tell the reason. Dong Shouwang was very puzzled, so he went to talk to Qi Ying. Dong Shouwang recalled his elder brother's past, but he couldn't guess why his elder brother, Dong Shouye, did this. Qi Ying reminded Dong Shouwang that Dong Shouye might be used by someone, and the beneficiary was the Japanese. The fundamental purpose was to strike at the Dong family, so that the Dong family would lose the trust of the provincial government and the mining rights of the Beishan Mine. Ma Jixing discussed the murder of Cuizhi with his subordinate Ren Mingfeng, and believed that the matter involved the Communist Party and the Japanese. The two sides fought for the purpose of the Beishang Mine, and Ma Jixing's purpose of coming to Donghe was to guard the mineral resources of Donghe so that neither the Japanese nor the Communist Party could get them. Wen Shang came to see Mayor Ma. Mayor Ma asked about Dong Shouye's private sale of copper. Wen Shang said it had nothing to do with him. At the same time, he brought a generous gift to Mayor Ma to discuss the marriage with him. Wen Shang wanted his daughter Wen Yuping to marry Ma Jixing. Mayor Ma directly exposed Wen Shang, thinking that Wen Shang wanted to marry the Ma family just for his own personal interests. Wen Shang used his own advantages to persuade Mayor Ma. Mayor Ma also knew that Wen Shang just wanted to tie himself to a boat. Mayor Ma agreed for the time being, but proposed to discuss the matter with his son Ma Jixing first. Dong Shouye was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Dong's mother advised Dong Shouye in the ancestral hall to consider the Dong family and the overall situation and agree to marry Lingshan's sister Lingyu. As long as the Dong family marries Lingyu, they will have the opportunity to take over the Beishan Mine and save the Dong family from danger. Dong Shouye remained indifferent despite Dong's mother's earnest persuasion. Finally, seeing Dong's mother was heartbroken, he also felt extremely heartbroken, so he agreed. Mr. Fujii came to visit Wen Shang. Wen Shang was happy to mention to Fujii that the marriage with the Ma family was successful. Wen Yuping, who happened to pass by, heard it. Wen Yuping was very angry and said that she would never marry Ma Jixing. Wen Shang was also very stubborn and asked her to marry. Dong's mother found Lingshan to explain the matter of selling the copper to the provincial government privately. However, Lingshan still put pressure on Dong's mother. No matter how the Dong family gave the provincial government, they must get the copper out when the time comes. Lingshan also took the opportunity to mention Fulong Mining to Dong's mother. He believed that Fulong Mining had all the financial resources and technology. He wondered why Dong's mother did not cooperate with Fujii to mine Beishan Mine. However, Dong's mother still expressed that she had no intention of cooperating, and brought out the Dong family's ancestral precepts, never reselling the Dong family's shares, and told Lingshan that the Dong family would definitely deliver the copper to the provincial government on time, so that the provincial government could rest assured. Dong's mother also proposed a marriage to Lingshan, asking her son Dong Shouye to marry Lingshan's sister Lingyu, but Lingyu said she would discuss it with her sister before making a decision. On the way back, Dong's mother always fe
