Chapter 217: Saving Important Officials with Wisdom

Therefore, Tan Gang was moved to tears by the emperor's sincere words.

When Tan Gang went to Situ Jin's place, he saw the yard full of supplies.

He thought that the yamen runners had brought it back from somewhere.

I was still complaining in my heart that they ate worse than dogs. But those yamen runners were fat as hell when they came here.

Those who were exiled must have been from wealthy families.

It is inevitable that the house will be confiscated, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Some people still took out a lot of personal belongings.

So these yamen runners collected a lot of silver, gold and treasures along the way.

When they arrived at the castle, some young men and women couldn't stand the food there.

They would also bribe the yamen runners to ask them to go out and bring them some food.

Over time, the yamen runners received more and more silver and property.

Moreover, many of these yamen runners did not bring their families with them.

Among the exiled women, there were those who offered themselves to the yamen runners for free.

So they are not lonely. And they can bring back a large sum of money when they go home.

Whether in the capital or in the local areas, it is impossible to get such treatment. They have low official titles and no real power. Where can they go to make money?

Situ Jin knew the bad habits of the yamen runners here.

So he asked Shao Dongfang to give Wang Qiuyang a sheep and three fish.

This fish is fresh. Wang Qiuyang thought to himself that this third brother is quite clear-headed.

But the things were collected. If Situ Jin opened his mouth to ask him something, he had to do it.

The grasper has a short hand, and the eater has a short mouth.

"Imprison the seven serious criminals who have been implicated recently in the courtyard closest to where I live. Don't just eat and not work. I will find some jobs for them. It will be more convenient for you officials to eat in the future. The prince said that these people can't be left alone. If they get sick, the emperor will hold them accountable, and no one will be able to escape punishment."

"It seems that the emperor hates these people to the core. What can they do in the middle of winter?"

"I have a little sister who has a lot of ideas. Invite her when you have time. Let her take care of the food, lodging and transportation for these people. You don't have to worry about it. Just wait for the food and supplies."

"Then get your little brother here quickly! I'll clean this place up this afternoon. Have them all come over in the evening."

"Okay, I'll send a message to my little brother tonight. I'll leave this place to her. I have six other brothers guarding here, don't worry, she can't run away."

"Okay, Third Brother. Then I'll have to trouble your brother. Let's tell the guards not to come here. All the prisoners here are severely punished. They are kept in solitary confinement."

"That's settled then. When my brother comes, I'll ask her what they are doing. Then I'll let Xiang Hai tell her the truth."

"Third brother, that's settled. I'll go find someone to clean up the yard."

"Come back, take the bag of rice on the ground and cook some porridge for the brothers who are working. It will warm their hearts."

"Third brother has given enough. This..."

"Take it, and say you gave it to them. And don't tell them who lives here. Otherwise, we..."

Situ Jin gestured with his hand to his neck.

Wang Qiuyang is very grateful.

Although they also eat rice, he has never eaten such delicious white rice.

He nodded and left.

Give them food? That's too much of a luxury.

Situ Jin gave it to him specially, knowing that he would be reluctant to give it to those yamen runners.

This is space rice. If it is not a last resort, he will not be willing to give it up.

The moon rises above the willows at night.

Several families of serious criminals were all taken away.

Even the bailiffs guarding the corridor didn't know where these people had gone.

They were led by Xiang Hai, a group of six people, and were escorting several large families walking on the white snow.

The squeaking sound of stepping on the snow is particularly harsh.

When they arrived at the compound.

Situ Jin quickly let them into the house.

Charlotte also came out from the space to help.

Situ Jin was afraid that someone was following them, so he asked Xiang Hai and the other six people to go out immediately to destroy any traces.

Because I told Wang Qiuyang that I wanted to remove the chains on their hands and feet.

It would definitely be inconvenient to ask them to work.

So, the key was taken away a long time ago.

Situ Jin helped them open the chains one by one.

Then let them find a room to exercise first.

The room was warm. Charlotte was thoughtful and had placed washbasins and towels.

There were twelve girls of different sizes.

Charlotte let them live in the backyard.

Three people in one house. Four rooms.

The room is fully equipped, even a toilet is provided.

"Everyone, I am an envoy sent by the crown prince. I sent you here to protect you. You can do some work here and support yourself. Don't worry too much. No one from the yamen runners will come here. You just need to listen to my brother's command. There are experts outside to protect you."

"Master Tan, please chat with everyone when you are free. I will ask Xiang Hai to bring food to you. We can eat and work together. If you have anything to discuss, please consult Master Tan. I will also come when I have time."

"Third brother. All traces have been destroyed. I can't tell which direction it was heading."

"Okay. Xuchang, Shiqiang, Wulinfeng. The three of you stay in the room outside the door. The rest of you follow me."

Charlotte originally wanted to warm up here.

Situ Jin asked her to follow him. She pouted and looked at Situ Jin without even looking at her.

She took up her hat, put it on, and followed him out.

Situ Jin brought the four of them to the house where he lived.

Then he told Xiang Hai and the other three to move all the things to that yard.

Let Charlotte in.

Wait until they carry their things out of the yard.

Charlotte sat down on the bed.

"This is really exhausting. Staying up all night to play with moving. I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. I'm tortured to death by Mammy every day."

As soon as Xia Luo saw Situ Jin, he started complaining.

"Wife, hold on for a while. I'll go back after I finish things here. What do you think these old officials can do?"

"Good for shearing wool." Charlotte said lazily, wanting to sleep.

“Where do sheep come from?”

"Space! The wool of those sheep has never been sheared. If all the wool was sheared, it could be piled up to form a castle."

"But we can't let them enter the space to shear sheep, right?"

"Take out fifty sheep every day and let them shear them. I'll take them back after they're sheared. I see there's a big yard in the backyard. You can build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and raise some chickens, ducks, and fish."

"You're quite right. But sheep can bleat. You can hear them outside. There are fifty of them, and the whole yard is full of them. And these people are very smart."

"Then raise a hundred sheep. After shearing fifty, switch to the other fifty. You can never shear all the sheep."

"Then I'll have someone build a wall in the backyard tomorrow. Make it into a warm cellar. Grow vegetables, raise sheep, chickens and ducks in it. I'll also be working there in the future."

There is a large area behind this yard.

Not to mention building one warm cellar, even building ten or eight would be enough.

You can build it, but it will cost a lot of firewood.

"Tomorrow I'll put the racks and everything else in the snow for you. Once the racks are set up, cover them with the tarpaulin. I'll come and dry the floor at night."

It was freezing cold, and the soil was probably frozen more than a meter deep.

If you want to dissolve it, it will probably take at least ten days or half a month.

You have to keep burning firewood every day.

Charlotte uses a solar heater, which can thaw the ground overnight.

"Okay. My wife is the one who can do it. Without you, I would be helpless."

"I'm going to sleep. I can't stand it any longer. I guess my walking posture won't be right tomorrow and Nanny will start nagging me again." Charlotte said and turned to enter the space.

Situ Jin felt empty inside and lost.

"Third brother. The things have been delivered."

"Yes. Let's hire someone to build a greenhouse tomorrow."
