The hidden weapon was definitely designed by Xia Shang.
As for why it appears to others, there is only one reason.
In addition to Xia Shang himself who is equipped with such hidden weapons, all Ming Cult disciples are equipped with them.
The reason why Xia Shang made such a decision was, on the one hand, because it was a force cultivated by Xia Shang himself. Xia Shang put more effort into it, and naturally had higher expectations. So as long as Xia Shang can provide something, Xia Shang will
We will try our best to provide them. These easy-to-carry concealed weapons are a way to strengthen the strength of Mingjiao.
On the other hand, it is also considered that most Mingjiao disciples are rookies in the world, and there are not many powerful figures who can stand alone in the world. More than 90% of the disciples do not have the ability to protect themselves, so equipping them with such hidden weapons is also for their safety.
Think about it.
Unexpectedly, I found a hidden weapon made by myself here, which means that the man in black is probably related to the Ming Cult, and is most likely a disciple of the Ming Cult.
Thinking of this, Xia Shang felt it was necessary to investigate the matter clearly. He walked to the terrace and took a look, and found that the fight below was coming to an end, and the black man and the female thief were nowhere to be seen.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps downstairs, and the prefect came up with a group of people.
When the magistrate saw that Xia Shang was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground: "The lower officials were not strict in their governance, which led to rampant banditry in the city, causing the superior officials to be disturbed. The lower officials deserved death for their crime."
Xia Shang waved his hand, but he didn't care much: "It's nothing, the thieves have already left."
There were too many people coming upstairs. Rong'er had already hid behind the screen. When he heard his father's voice, he stuck his head out and looked at the situation outside.
At this time, the prefect was still looking for his daughter. He didn't see it for a while, and he was a little worried: "My lord, I don't know Rong'er..."
Xia Shang pointed to the screen: "I was just a little frightened."
The prefect finally felt relieved when he saw his daughter behind the screen.
"Are you feeling unwell, sir?"
"It's nothing serious."
The prefect was still worried: "Is there any loss to your property?"
Xia Shang shook his head and suddenly shifted his gaze. He found that a letter he had written earlier was missing. It seemed that it had been stolen by the female thief.
Stolen.
Xia Shang didn't say anything about this matter, and it wasn't something important. At worst, he would have to find time to write another letter.
"Master Xia, I'm really sorry for tonight. I will do my best to catch the murderer and give you an explanation."
Xia Shang originally did not want to get involved in local affairs, but the matter may involve Mingjiao, so he must understand it clearly.
"How many people were in action tonight? What is the specific situation now? What are the casualties? Are there any clues?"
Hearing Xia Shang ask this, the prefect's expression became nervous.
Judging from his position, Xia Shang obviously does not have the qualifications to intervene in local affairs, but he is a superior after all. He has already asked, so it is impossible not to answer, but the information he has now is limited, and if you tell your Excellency, I am afraid that you will
He will not be satisfied. When the news comes to the prince, the prince will definitely feel that he is really incompetent as a prefect, and it will be difficult for him to have a good life in the future.
The prefect looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer Xia Shang's seemingly simple question.
"I just want to know the truth. Sir, don't think about other influences. After all, the prince is here, and any cleverness will become evidence to cover up the crime, and will only bring discomfort to yourself."
As soon as Xia Shang reminded him, the prefect suddenly realized it and broke out in a cold sweat.
Who is the prince?
In the capital, there are those who want to have the wind and rain. Not only do they always take the initiative in the power struggle in the capital, but they also have a firm control over the world's military power.
How could such power be controlled by ordinary people? How could we be where we are today without the ability?
The big shots in the capital don't dare to hide anything from the prince, but he, a small local magistrate, wants to hide the past when he causes a small incident involving a snitch?
Isn’t that asking for death?
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, the prefect became much calmer, but also a little more fearful.
I learned from the prefect that tonight's attack was not just on Xia Shang alone, but almost all officials were attacked by surprise.
One official was killed, seven officials were injured, and more than 20 people were injured during the battle with the gangsters. Fortunately, no one died.
Want to say
The casualties were bearable. Only a small official was killed. It was actually very simple to suppress the incident.
But what made the prefect arrive uneasy was that there were no fewer than ten gangsters involved in the operation tonight, but only one gangster was captured, and all the others escaped.
A lot of manpower was used tonight, and teams of nearly a hundred people were involved one after another, but only one person was caught. It was really ugly to say it, and it was under the prince's nose. This could not make the prefect not worry.
Xia Shang heard the specific situation and had already followed the prefect's team to the bottom of Xiaojing Tower.
Relating to what Xia Shang saw upstairs, the results were somewhat different from what Xia Shang thought.
Because Xia Shang saw in Xiaojing Tower that the officers and soldiers below had surrounded the bandits, and the bandits were also locked in a hard fight. As more and more officers and soldiers entered, this group of people should be captured soon.
Yes, how come only one person was caught?
Xia Shang looked at the prefect and asked again: "Master prefect, I see your expression is strange. Is there anything you can't tell?"
The prefect was stunned, wondering what Master Xia meant when he suddenly said this?
Xia Shang continued: "I also saw what was going on here upstairs. According to my judgment, those gangsters did not escape so many. How come only one person was caught in the end?"
When the magistrate heard this, he immediately became energetic and explained again and again as if he had found a confidant: "What Mr. Xia said is absolutely true! Fortunately, Mr. Xia knows some of the inside story, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to the prince. Just like your Excellency,
As I said, our officers and soldiers originally had an absolute advantage and could quickly catch all the gangsters. But at the last moment, a female snitch appeared from nowhere. The female snitch was extremely fierce and killed our Yuzhou officers and soldiers wherever they passed.
They were killed so hard that they lost all their armor, and she was able to rescue all the gangsters trapped in Xiaojingyuan with just her own strength."
"Is there still such a thing?"
"Everything I said is true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never make excuses for my dereliction of duty. If Mr. Xia believed what I said, I would definitely say a few nice words in front of the prince. Let the prince know about us.
The difficulties of Xuzhou officers and soldiers..."
"Now is not the time to explain. The most important thing at the moment is to follow the captured thief and ask about the whereabouts of the other gangsters, so that they can be exonerated."
