"What Cheng Anhou wants to say, please speak up." Shi Jin knew that he had no position to meddle in the private affairs of other people's husbands and wives, so he straightened his clothes, went to the table and sat down. Even though he was a prisoner, he still carried the nobility of a son of aristocratic family, and he did not flinch in every gesture.

"I want Lord Shi to help me."

"It's ridiculous. As an official of the imperial court, how can I join forces with a traitor like you." Shi Jin said without thinking, "Rong Xia, you don't need to waste your time, I won't cooperate with you."

"In that case, then I won't force it," Rong Xia stood up, turned around and walked out the door, without any intention of persuading the other party. His reaction stunned everyone present. Du Jiu looked at Rong Xia in surprise, then at Shi Jin who was sitting silently at the table, turned around and chased after him.

"Master Shi." Zhao Zhong stayed in the room, he had a kind face by nature, anyone who saw him at first glance would think that this person would definitely not lie.

Shi Jin ignored him.

Zhao Zhong didn't care, he just picked a stool and sat down, and poured tea for the two of them slowly: "A few years ago, Mr. Shi, did you go to the frontier as a businessman?"

Shi Jin's eyebrows moved slightly, he turned to look at Zhao Zhong, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"You don't have to be so guarded against me, I just said it casually," Zhao Zhong said with a simple and honest face, "I wanted to learn martial arts when I was young, but my family didn't agree, so I delayed it all these years."

"It's bitterly cold in the frontier, Master Zhao doesn't need to go," Shi Jin took a sip of some cold tea, "When did you collude with Rong Xia?"

"It's not collusion, it's like-mindedness," Zhao Zhong sneered, and turned his head to look out the window. "I served as the governor of Xuezhou for several years, and I barely have a place in the hearts of the local people. But when Xuezhou was hit by a disaster, At that time, as a parent official, I couldn't ask for much help from the court. Three years ago, there was a flood in Xuezhou, and many people died. The court was afraid that there would be a plague in Xuezhou, so they ordered people to seal the city from outside. Stay here, only allowed to enter but not allowed to exit."

"I know this is a way to prevent the plague, and I have never complained to anyone, but after the imperial court sealed Xuezhou, they did not send people to send food and medicinal materials. Could it be that the imperial court intends to starve everyone to death and make Xuezhou a Gucheng?" Zhao Zhong's eyes turned red when he mentioned this matter, "Do you know how many people died in Xuezhou?"

"Ten thousand people! Ten thousand people!"

Shi Jin was silent. He remembered that incident back then, but it was only in the letter from his father. Because of Xuezhou's incident, there was no big splash in the court at all. Later, it seemed that someone reported the incident under pressure. , and personally escorted the grain and herbs to Xuezhou.

"In those days, the cries in Xuezhou City never stopped. Mothers cried for their children, husbands cried for their mothers, and children cried for their parents," Zhao Zhong said in a trembling voice. of......"

Later, Rong Xia appeared, carrying life-saving herbs, and at that moment, he almost knelt down for Rong Xia.

He will never forget the mood at that moment, and he will never forget it. Later he learned that Rong Xia had reported Xue Zhou's matter under heavy pressure, and thus offended some officials. Later, when he was working together in Xuezhou, he was overwhelmed by Rong Xia's personal charm and was willing to join him.
