Chapter 128 Support
"I'm fine. I'm wearing thick clothes and I'm not hurt." Chen Zhi comforted in a low voice.

Xu Shuhe was worried, so he pulled him over and checked his shoulder.

Fortunately, I was not really injured.

But Xu Shuhe was still angry, "Why did you have to use your body to block it? What if a knife really stabbed you? The wound on your back has just healed, and now you have a new wound. It's cold and it's hard to heal. You are just being reckless!"

Unexpectedly, after she scolded him like that, Chen Zhi laughed instead.

"What are you laughing at? Are you stupid?" Xu Shuhe couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder.

Chen Zhi still smiled, "Finally you are willing to talk to me."

When these words were spoken, Xu Shuhe was stunned. All of a sudden, the anger that had risen in his heart due to worry dissipated completely.

It feels like a fist hitting cotton.

I really don’t know what to do with Chen Zhi.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Chen Zhi turned around and asked politely.

"It's okay." Lin Jinyi shook his head. "The thief just now was coming for Ah He. I was just afraid that she would be scared."

Lin Jinyi still wanted to bring the two together, so he helped.

"I'm not that delicate." Xu Shuhe said stubbornly.

In fact, I was still scared just now, after all, the shining blade was coming towards my face, but at this moment I still habitually tried to be strong.

Seeing that Meixiang had already helped Xinyue up, he hurried over to check on Xinyue's condition.

Fortunately, the man who snatched the purse was pulling hard with both hands and did not use any weapons. Xinyue just fell to the ground, her hand was scratched, the purse fell apart, and some silver fell out, but she was not seriously injured.

"This bastard actually dared to rob people in the street in broad daylight." Xu Shu said in a very amiable manner.

As someone who grew up in a society ruled by law, she is particularly angry about these actions.

"My dear gentlemen, we know we are wrong. We are all here to escape. We did this because we had no other choice. We didn't really want to hurt anyone just now. We just wanted to scare you and let go so that we can get the money bag. Please be magnanimous and let us go!"

The man who was pinned down by the guys began to beg for mercy.

The woman in his group also followed suit, "Yes, we still have three children and an old mother to support. If we weren't forced to do so, we would never do this. If we were caught and thrown into jail, our children and old mother would really freeze to death or starve to death!"

"There are three porridge stalls in the city that give out porridge. Although it's not enough to fill your stomach, it can fill your stomach. I see that you and the man just now are both young and strong men with hands and feet. Even if you work as a laborer at the dock, you can still earn a living. Even if you beg on the street, I am willing to give you alms. But you chose to rob people. You look very experienced. I'm afraid you have done it more than once. You must be punished!"

Lin Jinyi was so angry listening to the two people's excuses.

What she said did make sense. These three people said they were disaster victims, but they looked very energetic and did not look like they were freezing or starving. They must have made a lot of money by robbing.

It doesn't look like they are really at their wits' end.

"Take him to the government office!" Xu Shuhe was also angry and gave the order directly.

The men were quick and efficient and immediately tied up the man and sent him to the government office.

"There are many disaster victims in the city recently, and it is indeed a bit chaotic. We should stay out of the city." Lin Jinyi sighed. The government did not come forward to manage the situation. Not to mention distributing porridge and settling the disaster victims, they did not even arrange more patrols to maintain public order in the city. It was really ineffective.

"It's getting late now and it's very cold outside. Let's go back home first." Chen Zhi spoke softly, and then added, "It's not safe for Miss Lin to go back alone. I'll have someone send Miss Lin back."

Lin Jin waved his hand, "No, I don't live far away."

"It's better to have someone escort you. It will make you feel more at ease." Xu Shuhe said seriously.

What happened just now is indeed frightening.

After saying a few more goodbyes, they each went back home.

In the carriage, Xu Shuhe and Chen Zhi sat opposite each other. Chen Zhi did not say anything, but silently handed the hand warmer to Xu Shuhe to warm his hands.

Xu Shuhe took it, was silent for a moment, sighed, and was about to say something when Chen Zhi spoke first.

"I have thought carefully about what I said before. Now I am working for the Fifth Prince. Even if I have this idea, I am afraid I cannot make the decision completely on my own. I have to ask His Highness for permission first."

"So if the fifth prince agrees, you really want to go?" Xu Shuhe asked.

Chen Zhi looked up at her with a sincere look in his eyes, "I can't lie to you, I really want to give it a try. You know, if it weren't for Feng's plot, I would have continued to study for the imperial examinations. I would not be worse than the fourth brother. Who among the scholars doesn't want to govern the country and bring peace to the world, to establish a life for the people, and to bring peace to the past."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me for saying this, but I was also full of passion when I was in the academy." Chen Zhi turned around, lifted the car curtain and looked outside. "As for ambition, I naturally want to be an official for the people and leave my name for eternity, but I also have selfish motives. Merchants have been looked down upon since ancient times. Now that I'm born in this dynasty, I have the opportunity to change the fate of myself and even the future generations. I want to try."

Xu Shuhe actually still had some final confusion in his heart about this matter, but Chen Zhi's performance at this moment was like a ray of hot summer sunshine, shining directly into Xu Shuhe's heart and crossing the last line of defense, which was not solid to begin with.

Firstly, she really couldn't be so selfish as to block Chen Zhi's other paths for her own selfish reasons. After all, if this path was open, it would be a revolutionary change for Chen Zhi, a change that would affect several generations and was indeed of great significance.

Furthermore, after these days of distributing porridge and seeing all kinds of suffering among the people, Xu Shuhe had to admit that she began to have some idealistic changes in her heart. She wanted to do something to change the status quo and save more innocent people from the dire straits.

Being an official, one can indeed do these things better. In today's social environment, she cannot do it, but Chen Zhi can.

Besides, Chen Zhi also said that this matter may not be started as soon as one wants to do it, and one has to consult the Fifth Prince. Xu Shuhe comforted himself that perhaps he was stuck at this step.

Then she doesn't have to be a bad person. Chen Zhi will probably be able to do business steadily in the future.

This kind of mentality, with its mixture of luck, expectation, guilt and contradiction, is really exhausting.

After a long while, Xu Shuhe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you want to do it, just do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhi immediately turned around and looked at her, "Do you agree?"

"I agree." Xu Shuhe nodded. "I support you to give it a try, but if you fail, you have to run the family business honestly and not get stuck in a dead end and not take both ends seriously."

Chen Zhi first showed a smile on his face, and then nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, I will!"

The matter was finally settled, and Xu Shuhe felt a lot more relieved for a moment.

Never mind, think about it from another perspective. If Chen Zhi really becomes an important official in the court in the future, then for her, wouldn’t it be an even more successful training case?

Half for self-consolation and half for eagerness to try, Xu Shuhe was also trying to adjust his mind and prepare to face new challenges.
