Chapter 186 Master, what is the Eastern Depot?
Officer Xing did not doubt the truthfulness of what Shan Tianxie said.
After all, on the one hand, who among normal people, except for those who are mentally unstable, would voluntarily take on this responsibility?
Are you afraid you won't die fast enough? Anyone with an IQ above 20 wouldn't do that.
On the other hand, when the people reported the crime, they already said that a handsome young man was the one who did it.
He just hadn't connected this information to Young Master Shan before.
Now it all matches up, it all matches up!
However, this put him in a difficult position, as he knew very well how skilled Shan Tianxie was in martial arts.
Black Wind Village and Shangguan Yundun serve as cautionary tales.
If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid both I and Xiao Liuzi will die here today.
But if he didn't take action, how could he explain it to the imperial court?
My brain feels like it's not working properly.
Officer Xing's mind was racing, and his expression was unpredictable. To outsiders, it would seem as if he were practicing some kind of divine skill.
After much deliberation, Officer Xing finally made up his mind.
Then he looked at Shan Tianxie and slowly said.
"Young Master Shan, although we are acquaintances, but..."
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to continue, but finally, with a determined heart, he revealed the rest of his words.
"But the imperial law is merciless. You have committed murder in public. Please come with me."
"At that time, Magistrate Lou will have Xing admit that you surrendered yourself to the authorities, and he will try to get leniency from the court!"
After saying all this in one breath, Constable Xing felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
Now that I've said all that, let's leave our fate to life and death!
However, his words surprised everyone around him.
I never expected that Constable Xing would be so courageous. You know, from his appearance, he is just an ordinary, even somewhat comical, middle-aged man.
No wonder the Ming Dynasty was able to suppress the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Even in such a remote town, an ordinary head constable in black robes has such awareness; the power of the imperial court is unfathomable.
Meanwhile, Shan Tianxie smiled calmly, showing no surprise whatsoever at Constable Xing's actions.
Because he had already guessed what decision Officer Xing would most likely make after finding out that he was the one who did it.
The final result was exactly as he had predicted.
However, this is also one of the reasons why he admired Officer Xing before.
Although in the original work, Officer Xing has all sorts of minor flaws,
What does it mean to be greedy for cheap deals? To act arrogantly? To speak in a bureaucratic tone? etc.?
However, there is one advantage of his that is hard to ignore: he can stick to his principles and distinguish right from wrong.
For example, even now, he and Constable Xing are acquaintances, and Constable Xing's martial arts skills far surpass his.
However, Officer Xing insisted on upholding his principles and demanded that he be dealt with according to the law.
Even if it might cost them their lives, they would not hesitate.
After Constable Xing finished his impassioned speech, he saw that Shan Tianxie was just standing there calmly, without any reaction.
He didn't agree, but he didn't attack them directly either. He just stared at him with a mysterious smile.
His heart was pounding. No, Mr. Shan, we're already acquaintances, so please give me an answer as to whether this is any good or not.
If you make a move, you'll only die. If you don't kill yourself, you can just report it to the Six Doors.
The key is that you have to say something!
Looking at Constable Xing's conflicted expression, Shan Tianxie could roughly guess what he was thinking.
She decided not to tease him any further and said with a light laugh.
"Officer Xing, why don't we find a quiet corner to talk?"
"Well, that's fine too."
Officer Xing nodded. He was also very curious about what Shan Tianxie wanted to talk to him about, since he hadn't held back at all in his words just now.
As for whether there might be a trap involved, he could only say that it was too much to worry about.
Given Shan Tianxie's martial arts skills, even if they fought face to face now, he and Xiao Liuzi would be no match for him.
"Master, be careful, this might be a trap!"
Seeing that Constable Xing agreed so readily, Yan Xiaoliu cautiously reminded him from the side.
"fine."
Officer Xing shook his head and then explained.
"With Young Master Shan's martial arts skills, if he really wanted to attack us, we'd probably be buried three feet tall by now!"
"I'm a little worried about that too!" Yan Xiaoliu insisted on his own idea and continued, "Master, I'll go with you!"
Officer Xing didn't say much, but looked at Shan Tianxie with an obvious question in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shan Tianxie laughed and said, "Just come along, it's nothing shameful."
He then turned to greet the woman in the pink dress, indicating that she could leave if there was nothing else to do, as the rest was not her concern.
However, the woman in the pink dress insisted on waiting for Shan Tianxie to finish his conversation, since the matter had started because of her.
She would feel uneasy if this led to Shan Tianxie being imprisoned by the imperial court.
Dan Tianxie smiled but didn't say anything more.
Everyone has their own choices. Dealing with Constable Xing first, and then finding Mei Niansheng is the most important thing.
Then Shan Tianxie and the other two walked to a secluded corner.
After Shan Tianxie stood still, he did not hesitate.
"Officer Xing, look at this!"
After saying that, he took out a token from his pocket and threw it at Constable Xing.
The token traced a graceful parabola before landing squarely in Constable Xing's hand.
After taking the token subconsciously, Constable Xing examined it closely and his expression immediately changed!
There's no other reason than that he doesn't recognize the words on it!
So he quickly and discreetly gave Yan Xiaoliu a wink, "Come and help your teacher see what the character is."
Yan Xiaoliu instantly understood and walked over to Constable Xing, looking at the token in Constable Xing's hand.
"I recognize the first two characters of 'Master,' but I can't remember the rest!"
After Yan Xiaoliu finished speaking, he scratched his head awkwardly.
He only recognized two characters after looking at them for a long time, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but smile and didn't keep anyone in suspense any longer.
"This is the token of Chief Supervisor Cao of the Eastern Depot!"
"What! The Eastern Depot! Chief Supervisor Cao's token?!"
Upon hearing this, Constable Xing's expression changed drastically, and he examined the token closely.
Although he still doesn't recognize the characters, the workmanship and quality are extraordinary!
If this token is real, Officer Xing thought of this matter, as well as the rumored practices of the Middle East Depot.
Cold sweat instantly poured down his forehead, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel on the spot.
"Master, what is the Eastern Depot?"
