A mysterious Taoist arrived in the small fishing village of Sima Village. Coincidentally, the ancestral treasure stele of Sima Village had been stolen, and the mysterious Taoist fell right at the spot where the stele was stolen. Before the mysterious Taoist could get up from the ground, he was surrounded by the fishermen of Sima Village. The head constable Tie Ping rushed to the scene and immediately wanted to take the mysterious Taoist to the magistrate for questioning. The mysterious Taoist, who called himself Daoist Yi Qing, summoned a heavy rain that caused the villagers of Sima to bow in awe. Daoist Yi Qing could summon wind and rain, prompting the village chief of Sima to lead the villagers to plead with Tie Ping. Suddenly, Tie Ping associated the appearance of Daoist Yi Qing with one of the robbers from the Star Harvest Heist, Gongsun Sheng. Since the heist in Shandong, the court had been furious, and the constabulary had only captured a white robber, leaving the Chancellor extremely anxious under the pressure of risking his position. Tie Ping reported Daoist Yi Qing as a suspect in the Star Harvest Heist to the Chancellor, while also detaining Daoist Yi Qing in Sima Village. Daoist Yi Qing was not in a hurry to leave Sima Village; instead, he wanted to help the villagers retrieve the stolen stele. Daoist Yi Qing instructed the village chief to gather all villagers over fifteen years old to cast spells to catch the thief at the ancestral hall. In front of Tie Ping and the village chief, the villagers dipped in clean water, passed through fire, and worshiped their ancestors, quickly revealing the guilty Sima girl. Daoist Yi Qing saved face for Tie Ping and the Sima girl, telling them that the stele would 'fly' back by itself in a few days. It turned out that the Chancellor had set his sights on Sima Village's stele and wanted to present it as a longevity gift to the governor. The Chancellor handed the matter of stealing the stele to Tie Ping, who conspired with the Sima girl to steal the stele and hide it on an island in the lake. Two days later, the stele did not 'fly' back, and Daoist Yi Qing had no choice but to clarify the details to Tie Ping. Under Tie Ping's swift blade, Daoist Yi Qing engaged in dozens of exchanges without drawing his sword, making Tie Ping even more convinced that 'Daoist Yi Qing' was Gongsun Sheng. Daoist Yi Qing helped Tie Ping save face in front of the villagers of Sima, while Tie Ping lied for Gongsun Sheng in front of the Chancellor. Thus, a temporary deal was struck between the inherently incompatible Gongsun Sheng and the court's constable. The deal between Gongsun Sheng and Tie Ping not only helped Sima Village recover the stolen stele but also ensured that when the Chancellor's special envoy, Huang Yuhou, visited Sima Village, they were granted a 'talisman' for the Sima family's stele.
