Elsewhere, Li Xin had finished his meal and called for a carriage to the carpenter workshop where Zhou Sangke worked. The owner, seeing the Night Patrol again, was somewhat uneasy, but after Li Xin reassured him, he called out the two apprentices, and Li Xin asked them in detail about their interactions with Zhou Sangke.
"The master really likes drinking."
"The master is actually interested in everything; he just doesn't talk much."
"This master is the best—great person and even greater craftsmanship. He taught us several long-lost skills. It's a pity he met such misfortune; the world is truly unfair."
After a long time, the two apprentices were still resentful. It was clear the master treated them well, and they wished they could help somehow.
"This master?"
"Yes, Zhou Master wasn't our first master; before him, it was Zhao Master. Then Zhou Master came, and Zhao Master was dismissed. We learned many real skills under Zhou Master!"
