This Third Master Shi of the Shi Family Manor is no stranger; he is the younger brother of the Magistrate of Linhe Prefecture.
He himself is a scholar, but when he traveled to the Northwest, he saw that too few people here could read or write, so he founded an academy and taught the Northwest people to read. He has been teaching for nearly twenty years.
His wife is also a Northwest person, but because the Northwest is too chaotic, Old Master Shi San worried for the safety of his wife and children and sent them to settle in the Capital long ago.
This time, his family saw that Long'an Prefecture was on the verge of falling and did not want him to die in the Northwest for the sake of that academy, so they forcibly sent people to bring him back.
Who could have known that just as he arrived at the Shi Family Manor to rest, he would be seized by Rong people lurking inside.
