Seeing Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin hanging their heads, Imperial Doctor Du couldn't bear it and finally said awkwardly, "Of course, as your master, I'm not telling you to always be cautious, afraid to do anything! What's the difference from being a salted fish? I just want you to see clearly before you act, whether it's worth doing or even possible!"
"Once you've made a decision, your master's first lesson is: either don't do it, or do it to completion! Since you've involved yourselves in this case and offended the Magistrate, you must spare no effort to bring him down, leaving him no chance to ever threaten you again, understand?" Imperial Doctor Du looked at Song Chongjin, clearly directing these words at him.
Song Chongjin was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Master, I understand!"
