Master Jinghu glanced at Lord Xiang with a hint of disdain and said, "Stand up and speak!"
Lord Xiang did not get up, but pleaded grievously, "When Lord Bai was in charge, I couldn't get a word in edge wise. If I had known that he would dare to harm his colleagues for his own selfish interests, I would never have indulged him..."
Master Jinghu felt a buzzing in his temples and said impatiently, "Get up quickly!"
Only then did Lord Xiang stand up reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Yuan Yunzhong was beckoning Song Jiyun over, saying, "Come over here and lend us a hand."
Song Jiyun was puzzled.
Yuan Yunzhong explained with a smile, "Haven't you dealt with the Canal Transport officials before? Transferring fifty thousand people by water is no simple task. We need someone who is experienced in water transport to work out the regulations. I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you for this."
She was willing to do something for these refugees.
