Behind the two men was a troop of soldiers, with as many as seven wooden boxes, within which were records of every rotten account in Hengzhou over the years.

"But what I don't understand is why those men all defend you. The last time you ran overnight to Fengzhou, it was because of your cousin Shen Hua's exhibition. I complained to Xie Xun, how am I not a brother who has shared life and death with him, yet he didn't scold you and even protected you!"
"Somehow, this matter has also reached his ears."
