Zhang Daren's fleet approaches Yizhou, where Liu Ping learns of Wang Ning An's fraudulent copper materials. As excitement builds among the Jiangqing, they plan to confront Wang Ning An. Despite having 8 million new banknotes, the currency is on the verge of collapse due to the absence of copper coins. Liu Ping enlists support from Wang Su, the governor, and they confront Wang Ning An at the Royal Bank. Wang Ning An reveals the truth: the bank has no copper coins, only stones. Panic ensues among the crowd, led by Liu Ping, who demands accountability for their lost investments.
