On the way to Jinling, Meng Jiaojiao and Dafeng met Ji Xiaolan who came to handle the Ma Guo case. Ji Xiaolan captured them both and took them back to the prefect. Feng Jide went to prison to talk to Ma Guo about their years of friendship. Feng Jide, whose conscience was still intact, felt deeply guilty about Ma Gua. Tang Jingzhi found the list of Xue Zhonggui's bribers hidden by Feng Xiaoyue in the bamboo forest, and the yellow mantle was saved. When Ji Xiaolan arrived at the government office, Xue Zhonggui bribed him profusely to open up the salt road, intending to kill Ma Guaiao. Tang Jingzhi found Feng Jide who was wandering in the moonlight and persuaded him to save the yellow mantle, but Feng Jide said he was helpless. Ji Xiao, wearing a yellow jacket, went to prison to say goodbye to Feng Jide, who was sent to Sichuan. His heartfelt words made both of them understand a lot. Before leaving, Feng Jide and Cai Lian came to the vegetable stall in Ma Gua to say goodbye. The couple missed Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue was looking at them with tears in her eyes from a corner of the market. The emperor, who paid a private visit incognito, came to Ma Guo's vegetable stall. Ma Guo recognized him as the emperor. Everyone in the market cheered and praised the emperor for creating a peaceful and prosperous era. The emperor entered Ma Gua's home and told Ma Gua and his wife that the matter of Jiaojiao's father was just a part of the emperor's painstaking plan. Meng Jinghui was an innocent person, and someone was involved in his leaking the test questions. The emperor's removal of him was actually to protect him. And the old couple are rushing here to be promoted to governor of Liangjiang. The emperor appointed Ma Guo as the magistrate of Yangzhou, but Huang Ma Guo made rude remarks again, comparing the emperor to Emperor Yang of Sui who traveled around and wasted his testimony. The emperor was furious after hearing this. When the yellow mantle and everyone happily moved into the prefecture, the emperor brought Mr. Meng and his wife, and the family was finally reunited. However, the emperor was jealous of Huang Magua's rude remarks, but considering that Ma Gua was an official for the people and not for the sake of being an official, he allowed him to continue to be the county magistrate and rewarded him with a real yellow mandarin. The emperor put on a real yellow mantle, and he and Jiaojiao hugged each other amidst the joy of everyone.
