Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Chapter 216: Serious Criminals Detention Center

At dinner time, we heard that Wang Qiuyang had returned, bringing back ten yamen runners.

Situ Jin saw that Wulin Feng had prepared the food.

"Can you cook?"

"My father used to run a restaurant. I have loved eating and cooking since I was a child. Later, I learned martial arts. My father sent me to the mountains to learn martial arts from an old man. Later, I was sent to the Dark Guard Camp. Now I don't know where my family has gone."

As a royal secret guard, you are not allowed to have family ties.

Because their profession is high-risk. If someone holds their family members hostage, their career will be over.

There are many families who know that their children are secret guards.

We stopped communicating. As time went by, we lost contact.

"Yeah. This dish is delicious." Situ Jin didn't respond.

If I get back I'll mention it to my father.

These secret guards have retired, so help them find their families and give them some money for their retirement.

They made contributions to the country when they were young.

Don’t let people feel disappointed even when you are old.

He who governs people's hearts, governs the world.

"Go call Mr. Shao over and ask them all to come over for a drink."

Wulin Feng cooked eight dishes and a soup.

Because Xia Luo was worried that Situ Jin wouldn’t eat well.

So I put a lot of vegetables and meat in his supplies.

In this castle, not to mention meat, even green vegetables are nowhere to be seen.

"Boss, this is Third Brother. I'll be the one receiving you while you're out."

At this time, Shao Dongfang came with Wang Qiuyang and two officers.

"Come, come, come. Please take a seat. I heard in Central Plains that it's very cold here. It's really cold. Come and have some wine. It will warm you up."

Situ Jin sat there without moving. He raised his glass and asked them to sit down and drink.

Wang Qiuyang observed the third brother with his eyes.

He was quite arrogant. He didn't even stand up when he saw them. He felt a little unhappy.

But I was soon attracted by the taste of wine.

"Good wine." Wang Qiuyang hadn't tasted such fragrant wine for a long time.

Even the wine brewed in the palace doesn’t have this fragrance.

"After such a long journey, the green vegetables are still so fresh? It's rare."

Once the land is covered with ice and snow, even the animals will stay indoors. There are still fresh vegetables there.

"To be honest, these vegetables were bought by my brother in a town. She delivered them to the outside of the castle and ran away. I'll ask her to get more for you next time you come."

The vegetables in the space were almost a disaster, but here, no weeds grew.

No wonder this is the place where criminals are punished.

Let them experience the consequences of not following the rules.

But those who are wronged suffer. And their families also suffer with them.

"I heard from Shao Dongfang that you are going to interrogate the fake prince's family?"

"To be honest, I have no choice. The higher-ups asked us to interrogate them, so we can't be vague, right? We don't understand what they mean. We are not just interrogating them, but all 39 families. I hope that Manager Wang will give us some convenience."

After saying that, Situ Jin took out the tiger talisman and showed it to Wang Qiuyang.

"Of course. So, if you want to interrogate a family, you can find these three. I have a lot of things to do, so I can't accompany you, Third Brother. Forgive me!"

Wang Qiuyang is not stupid. The prince asked them to come here.

Who can resist the prince's intention?

If the investigation is done well, everything will be fine. If the investigation is not done well, no one will be happy.

He has been here for more than ten years.

Everyone sent down from above has a higher status than them.

Stay as far away as possible.

He eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks here, and feels more comfortable than in Kyoto.

It can also bring financial benefits to the family.

Although I can only go home once a year, I stay for ten days or eight days.

But I had money, my family was happy, and I was free.

They ate and drank well.

Situ Jin also gave each of them ten pounds of wild boar meat to take back as a snack.

A large bag of green vegetables per person.

They returned excitedly, picking their teeth.

Tan Gang went back to avoid people and read the letter from the emperor.

He couldn't stop crying after reading it.

He is a man of steel, and he doesn't shed tears easily.

Why are you crying like a tearful person?

The emperor said: "My dear Tan, reading this letter is like seeing you in person. I know you are wronged, but the law is ruthless. No one can escape punishment. I feel sorry for your bumpy journey. This bitter and cold place is also your place of rebirth. You must protect your family and those important officials. I have sent my son to bring you supplies."

"Take care of yourself. There are my armed forces. They are scattered in various villages in the castle. The emperor has contacted someone. Let him lead you through your temporary hard life. When the war comes, they are the power behind you. Perseverance will lead to victory."

"I am waiting for your triumphant return. I will hold a banquet to celebrate your victory. I believe that you know better than me how to communicate with other ministers. Unite all the forces that can be united. Victory belongs to you."

The emperor's meaning could not be clearer.

Hope in Tangang's heart rose again.

The emperor still has them in his heart. He can only blame himself for making the wrong choice.

He swallowed the letter directly into his stomach, and then waited for someone to bring him food.

They were serious criminals, their hands and feet were chained, and they couldn't do any work in winter.

Only when spring comes and flowers bloom, they have to chop wood, carry stones, and do all the dirty and heavy work.

The yamen runners delivered three meals a day.

It was all just soup and water. There was very little bran.

They were so hungry that they had to eat it voraciously.

This is a house converted from a long corridor. Fortunately, it is on the second floor.

Each family had a room with thatched roofs on the floor and stoves on both sides of the corridor.

The temperature is not high, but it is not high enough to freeze people to death.

When it was time to eat, the bailiffs put the food at the door.

They found a way to bring it in and eat it.

The next day, Situ Jin came to the corridor and saw this situation.

I couldn't even give them something to eat.

Situ Jin thought to himself that he must find a way to get them out of this corridor.

Tan Gang saw the prince come here in person to check the situation.

His heart was racing.

But his expression remained calm.

It’s like I don’t know you.

"Do these serious criminals stay like this every day?" Situ Jin asked the bailiff.

"It's freezing here, why don't we stay here? If someone gets sick or falls to death, we'll be in trouble. The court is making these people's lives worse than death."

"Don't say this anymore in the future. Walls have ears. If the emperor hears it, your life will be in danger." Situ Jin pretended to remind him.

"I'm just talking. No one cares. If you don't work, how can you eat?"

It seems that this person still has a conscience. He can't bear to see these people suffer.

"Who are the serious criminals here?"

"Third brother, these are all criminals who married foreign wives and were implicated. The one in the corridor over there is the fake prince's family. The one in the corridor behind is the serious criminal who illegally mined the country's gold ore last year. The one on the right..."

Shao Dongfang mentioned no less than ten important places where prisoners were held.

It turned out that Wang Changyang and his gang were also exiled here.

Now it's going to be lively. Situ Jin will interrogate them one by one.

What if a shocking bomb explodes?

His trip was not in vain.

What the emperor meant was that there are good ones among these serious criminals.

If possible, give them a chance to make a comeback.

Unite all forces that can be united.

This is what Situ Jin once said to the emperor.

Therefore, many of the words in the emperor's letter to Lord Tangang were what Situ Jin expressed when he had a heart-to-heart talk with the emperor in the imperial study.

The emperor found these words very novel and inspiring.
