Chapter 215 Ice and Snow Castle
Chapter 215 Ice and Snow Castle
Situ Jin also didn't want to see that top family.
"Third brother, I brought the officers who are in charge of the exile team here."
"Third brother, are you an official or a businessman?" This official was a subordinate of Jingzhao Yin, and his name was Shao Dongfang.
"It's a bit absurd for you to ask this, sir. Here is a letter, sir, you can take a closer look." He took out the prince's tiger talisman and asked him to identify it.
Situ Jin was sent by the Emperor. It is impossible to let them know.
But they could not refuse since the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was investigating the case.
This letter was written by the prince to the officials here.
(Give appropriate convenience to a man called Brother San to come and investigate the case, please do not make it public)
Situ Jin wrote this just now while waiting for Xiang Hai.
"Brother San, please. I am sorry for being rude here!"
Shao Dongfang saw that it was a letter written by the prince.
And there is also the prince’s tiger talisman.
Look at the warriors around him.
He did not dare to hesitate.
They followed Shao Dongfang into a castle.
The castle is surrounded by mountains. There is only one road leading to it.
The bitter cold here is unprecedented in the world.
Heavy snow fell in mid-August, and the rivers froze completely in early September.
As soon as the snow hit the ground, it turned into solid ice. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but white snow for miles.
This place was named after the mountain. Later, when foreign enemies invaded, they built a castle in the center of the mountain.
During wars, this is where the generals are stationed.
It is a major military town in the north and also a political, military, economic and cultural center.
This is an undeveloped land, and everywhere you look is a boundless forest, with trees everywhere blocking out the sun.
After the heavy rain, the mountain road became even more rugged and steep, making it extremely difficult to travel.
In addition, there are many mosquitoes, leeches and locusts in the dense forest.
All criminals exiled here have been bitten.
I guess some of the exiles had just arrived here, and it was difficult to go up the mountain to collect firewood in the snow and ice, so the house was a bit cold.
He asked the secret guards to unload the six carriages into the yard.
Then have them drive the carriage outside the castle.
He said someone would come to pick it up later.
He knew that if Charlotte saw this, he would use his mind to put the car into space.
So he wasn't worried about the horses freezing.
"Master Shao, can you bring Lord Tangang to see me?"
"Third brother. We have three people in charge here. If I want to see Tan Gang, I have to say hello to those two."
"Which department sent those two? Oh, I will report to the prince when I get back."
"One was sent by the Supervisory Council, his name is Li Ji. The other was sent by the Dali Temple, his name is Bai Zhaojun. They have been here for five or six years. I have been here for eight years."
"Who is in charge of you then?"
"Wang Qiuyang. An official appointed by the imperial court. I don't know why he was demoted here."
"Got it. Go and say hello to them. Find some time to call Wang Qiuyang over for a drink."
"Okay! Third brother." Shao Dongfang became so hungry when he heard about drinking.
I saw they were pulling six large carts of stuff.
I guess he came to deliver supplies to some court official.
It seems someone has overturned the verdict again.
I don’t know who it’s for.
But he saw some meat.
"Third brother. Tan Gang is here." After a while, Shao Dongfang brought Tan Gang over.
"The guilty minister, Tang Gang, greets the third brother!"
Tan Gang no longer has the high spirits he had as the president of the Kyoto Supervisory Council.
But his demeanor is no less impressive.
Hands locked in chains.
His eyes were like torches, and he looked like a man of steel.
"Shi Qiang, take Mr. Shao and take some meat to the officials. Have someone cook some dishes and have them come over to drink later."
Situ Jin quickly sent Shao Dongfang away and asked the secret guards to guard the gate.
Shi Qiang has very good hearing. It is better to avoid him for the time being.
"Master Tan has suffered! Situ Jin would like to pay respect to Master Tan on behalf of his father."
Situ Jin whispered into Tan Gang's ear.
"Are you the prince?"
"It's the Emperor who is thinking about his beloved ministers. Let me take a look. This is the Emperor's handwritten letter to you. Read it when you get back and it's convenient. Just destroy it after reading it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. Thank you, Prince, for coming to this bitter and cold place to visit us. Tan Gang appreciates it." After saying this, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
"Hurry up and get up. This is not the place to talk. Read the letter, then find a chance to come out and we'll talk!"
"My current identity is the third brother. Because there are family members of the fake prince here, so you have to be careful in what you say and do. This family is top-notch. Once you get involved, it's hard to get rid of them."
"Third brother, I know nothing about what you said. Please let me go. I have a family with old and young. Since I have come to this bitter and cold place, I am ready to end my life here. Please think twice."
"Since Lord Tan is stubborn and refuses to change his ways, there is nothing more to say. Please go back."
Situ Jin knew that Tan Gang was anxious to go back and see what the emperor had written for him.
So I deliberately made an excuse to go back.
"Take care, third brother!" Tan Gang walked out without even looking back.
His hands were chained, but his feet were moving briskly. Perhaps because he was here to see him, Shao Dongfang helped him remove the chain.
Otherwise, all the serious criminals who were exiled here would have their hands and feet shackled.
"Third brother, who else do you want to see? Shao will go and get that person right away."
Shao Dongfang saw that Tan Gang came out after just a few words.
He thought, maybe this person is of no value.
"Send me any family member of the fake prince from a few years ago so I can meet him."
Situ Jin is using the Han family as a shield.
Otherwise, just mention Tan Gang, maybe someone will pay attention to him.
"We need to seek the consent of Officer Wang for this. He is our leader."
Situ Jin was also curious. This Wang Qiuyang had not shown up yet. Was he of low status? Was he not qualified to meet him? Or was he out and had not come back?
"Boss, I received a notice today that the other officials who went to pick up others have not returned yet."
"How many officials do you have here?"
"Fifty officers. If that doesn't work, send ten more."
"Oh. Then we'll wait for Wang Guancha to come back and have dinner together."
He actually wanted to see who assigned this Wang Qiuyang.
Having worked as an official here for more than ten years, I have never thought of going back.
"Third brother, this fake prince's family is not easy to mess with. I advise you to stay away from them. Especially that old woman. She is like a mad dog. She bites everyone she sees. Even the leader gives her way."
"They have come to this point, yet they are still so arrogant. Are they tired of living?"
"Third brother, I dare not say it. Mrs. Han has reasons to be arrogant. You will know it later."
"Xiang Hai, I forgot. Bring some Kyoto cakes to Shao Guanye to try. Bring two more portions and give some to the other two officials as well."
Situ Jin wanted to shut the three of them up first.
It will be easy to find out some information in the future.
"Okay! Sir, should I bring it to you, or do you want to take it yourself?"
Xiang Hai knew that the prince didn't want to talk too much with him, in order to avoid saying something wrong.
"Third brother, look. Isn't this too polite? I just like it."
Shao Dongfang saw that the cakes were still soft, so he took three cakes back home.
Situ Jin was a little hungry, but he didn't know how long he would have to wait for Wang Qiuyang.
He asked Xiang Hai to guard outside the door. He needed to rest for a while.
Let the other secret guards tidy up the place to rest at night.
Situ Jin discovered that each of these secret guards had his own strengths.
Xiang Hai is good at reading people's expressions, but his hearing is not so good.
Shi Qiang has good hearing. He is serious and responsible, but not good at expressing himself.
Those four people have not yet made their mark. I guess they each have their own strengths.
He knew that his father had good intentions in sending these six people to protect him!
