Chapter 160: A gold medal of immunity, a thank you gift from the capital
Yan Ming happened to walk in from outside and saw the aggrieved expression on Bai Zhantang's face and smiled.
"Why is he harassing you?"
"This guy sits here and stares at the dipped candies every day. His eyes are so weird, it's affecting our business!"
Tong Xiangyu came over and said.
It seems that she has communicated with Bai Zhantang in private and knows about the grievances between them.
Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Tong Xiangyu. When Bai Zhantang, who had just debuted, was hunted down by several arrests from the Ling family, the hostage he took was none other than Tong Xiangyu!
At that time, Bai Zhantang tried his best to block the flying hidden weapon for Tong Xiangyu, regardless of his own safety, so that there are still scars on his hands.
But I didn't expect at the time that they would have such a subsequent fate.
It is indeed fate, it is wonderful beyond words.
Tong Xiangyu had heard Bai Zhantang tell the whole story in private before, so naturally she didn't like Ling Tengyun either.
As soon as he arrived, Bai Zhantang was so frightened that he had to pack up and run away again. It was surprising that Tong Xiangyu could give him a good look.
"Is there such a thing? Ling Captou?"
Yan Ming walked in from outside with a knife in his hand and asked with a chuckle.
"Well, I just want to talk to Brother Bai about something and talk about our friendship back then."
Ling Tengyun squinted his eyes and never moved his gaze away from Bai Zhantang.
During the last melee, after Ling Tengyun learned the identity of the Thief Saint Bai Zhantang, all the scenes from back then could not be suppressed and emerged before his eyes. This was the inner demon that had troubled him for many years.
Ling Tengyun had imagined countless times that if the Thief Saint appeared in front of him, he would take it down without saying a word and put an end to his inner demon.
However, when faced with this situation, Ling Tengyun was a little at a loss, but he was unwilling to leave the Thief Saint like this, so he kept staring at Bai Zhantang these days.
On the one hand, Ling Tengyun is not sure whether his own strength can defeat the other party. On the other hand, Bai Zhantang has been in Qixia Town, so Ling Tengyun is not able to attack him.
It just so happened that I didn't think it through clearly in my mind, so I just remained in a stalemate.
In fact, Ling Tengyun himself didn't know. The reason why he was so obsessed with this matter was not because of the Thieving Saint, but because of the guilt and self-blame that he didn't dare to face.
Back then, he was young, frivolous and high-spirited. During the hunt for the Thief, he fired a concealed weapon and almost killed the hostage. Only after the concealed weapon was released did he realize that something was wrong.
The critical moment was when the Thief Saint fought hard to get injured and took down the hidden weapon.
He is a policeman, obsessed with fame and fortune. In order to catch a thief, he even harms the hostages. However, the other party is obviously a notorious thief, but he sacrifices his life to save others, which is quite righteous.
This makes Ling Tengyun always feel guilty, but mentally he is unwilling to face it, so he puts everything on his hatred of the Thief Saint. Subconsciously, he believes that as long as the Thief Saint is solved, the knot in his heart will no longer exist.
Ling Tengyun had never mentioned these thoughts to anyone, but Yan Ming was familiar with the plot and of course understood it.
Seeing Ling Tengyun's troubled and twisted expression, Yan Ming sat at the table.
"Old Bai, come and sit down, I have something to tell you." Yan Ming patted the side.
Bai Zhantang's face was full of disgust, and he was filled with reluctance. He wanted to hide as far as possible from Ling Tengyun. He originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at Yan Ming's eyes, he reluctantly sat over.
Ling Tengyun stared at Bai Zhantang, his hand holding the scabbard tightened a little, and Bai Zhantang was also a little nervous.
Especially since he has always been timid, his heartbeat speeds up unconsciously when facing police officers.
When Guo Juxia and Zhuge Shenhou came to Qixia Town a few days ago, they were so scared that Bai Zhantang didn't dare to show up, and hid in the backyard of Tongfu Inn for a long time.
"Don't be nervous, this is a good thing for you."
Yan Ming comforted Bai Zhantang, and then looked at Ling Tengyun.
"Ling Captou, you also know that the person in front of you is the famous Thief Saint!"
"Um."
Ling Tengyun nodded, but then said.
"It seems that Head Yan has known about this for a long time?"
"Not bad." Yan Ming admitted readily.
Ling Tengyun was even more puzzled: "In that case, why didn't Yan Captou capture him earlier? The Thief Saint is a key criminal wanted by the court for many years!"
"If you're not busy, Ling Baotou only knows one thing but not the other."
As he said that, Yan Ming put one hand into his arms, as if he was taking something out. At the same time, he looked at Bai Zhantang and said a little uneasily.
"Um, Lao Bai, you better be mentally prepared. There are so many people watching. Don't be too rude."
"ah?"
Bai Zhantang was confused by Yan Ming, and his face was full of question marks.
Tong Xiangyu, who was next to him, also came over curiously.
"Shopkeeper Tong, please support Brother Bai and don't let him have any problems."
Yan Ming still said a few words uneasily, and then slowly took out something from his arms.
It was a yellow sign, not big in size and could be held easily in the palm of my hand. It was very beautifully shaped and had some small characters engraved on it.
"Um?"
Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang, and Ling Tengyun were all intrigued by Yan Ming's betrayal, and they all looked over.
"Get out of jail free gold?"
Bai Zhantang read out the four big characters above one by one, with a puzzled expression on his face, and then looked at Yan Ming.
"This is……"
"This is the immunity gold medal personally signed by Guo Juxia. It is given to you, Brother Bai. In order to commend you for your recent achievements, with this immunity gold medal in hand, the sin of stealing the saint has been wiped out. From now on, Brother Bai, you can be in the sun.
Walking."
Yan Ming was afraid that Bai Zhantang would be too excited, so he deliberately slowed down his tone and explained.
But even so, when these words fell into Bai Zhantang's ears, he was completely stunned on the spot.
The surprise came so suddenly that it even made him feel that all this was not real, like in a dream.
He has forgotten everything around him and only sees the get-out-of-jail gold medal.
I choked in my throat and wanted to move, but the muscles in my body were so stiff that even the most basic movements were out of shape. I almost slipped off the stool and squatted on my butt.
Fortunately, Yan Ming reminded him just now, and Tong Xiangyu who was next to him quickly reached out to support him, so he didn't make a fool of himself.
But Bai Zhantang still stared at the immunity card and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he didn't dare to touch it.
"This, is this really mine?"
Bai Zhantang couldn't believe that all of this happened until this moment.
Yan Ming put the immunity gold medal into Bai Zhantang's hand.
"No need to question it, it's true. It also has special approval from the Ministry of Punishment and Guo Juxia."
As soon as the somewhat heavy immunity gold medal came into his hand, Bai Zhantang immediately held it in front of him like a treasure.
After carefully observing it for a moment, the expression on Bai Zhantang's face gradually changed from disbelief to ecstasy!
"Baby, my little baby!"
Bai Zhantang jumped up from the stool, holding the immunity gold medal without caring about his image, and kept shouting numbly.
Everyone in the inn couldn't help but turn their heads and look here.
"Eat and drink, everyone is eating and drinking..."
Yan Ming and Tong Xiangyu exchanged greetings, but when they turned around, Bai Zhantang had disappeared.
I could just hear his wild laughter, coming from the backyard, then going around to the front door, rushing in from the front door, just going back and forth in a circle.
I don't know what he wants to do, but he is very excited.
Good guy, although Yan Ming was mentally prepared, he never expected Bai Zhantang to be so happy and crazy.
When he turned around, he saw that Ling Tengyun also had a face full of confusion.
"Just what he did before, does he deserve a get-out-of-jail-free card?"
Ling Tengyun asked in disbelief.
He was even more confused, because with this immunity gold medal, the past of the Thief Saint was wiped out. Didn't he even lose the reason to arrest him?
Yan Ming nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that if it was just because Bai Zhantang had helped capture several giant bandits before, it certainly wouldn't be worth such a precious thing as the immunity gold medal.
In the final analysis, it was because of the old woman from Bai Zhantang who had sacrificed a lot and worked undercover incognito for decades.
Of course, Ling Tengyun is destined not to know these secrets.
In fact, this immunity-free gold medal has been decided for a long time. Now that it is handed over to Bai Zhantang, it is just a process.
Whether it is Guo Juxia or the Sunflower Faction, they have long known that Bai Zhantang is living in seclusion in Qixia Town. If they want to cause trouble for him, it will be easy.
Previously, when Guo Juxia and Zhuge Shenhou came to Qixia Town, they could actually bring this immunity gold medal with them, but Guo Juxia finally passed the matter through Yan Ming's hands, which was regarded as a favor to him.
"Dip Candy, don't run away, there are still guests here..."
Tong Xiangyu had never seen Bai Zhantang, who had always been steady, lose his temper like this, and tried to stop him, but failed.
After running around the inn for many times, Bai Zhantang stopped.
"Baby, I will carry you with me forever from now on, and I will never let you leave me!"
Bai Zhantang held the immunity gold medal in his hands in a very disgusting manner and put it on his face intoxicatedly, not even looking at Tong Xiangyu.
Seeing that Bai Zhantang was a little swollen, Yan Ming's warning voice came from the side.
"Old Bai, please calm down first and read the small words next to it."
Bai Zhantang was stunned for a moment, and then followed Yan Ming's voice and looked over carefully.
Sure enough, there were densely written small words next to the immunity gold medal, which stated that only past crimes would be pardoned, and if the crime was serious in the future, the Yamen would have the power to take it back at any time.
Only then did Bai Zhantang shiver and wake up.
He was really a little carried away with this immunity-free gold medal in his hand just now. He even had a bold idea in his mind, which was to go on a day trip to the Yamen. Since he could get away with it anyway, he might as well have a bigger game.
Only now did he wake up, and his newly swollen emotions gradually returned to normal.
Bai Zhantang then remembered and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Yan Ming.
Then his eyes drifted to Ling Tengyun aside.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhantang said to Ling Tengyun.
"Captain Ling, actually you don't have to blame yourself for what happened back then. You are a good captor. I believe that if you were in the same position as me, you would definitely make the same choice."
Others may not understand what Bai Zhantang said, but Ling Tengyun suddenly looked stunned.
But he still couldn't let go of this knot in his heart, so he snorted coldly and looked away.
But now that Bai Zhantang has the immunity gold medal in his hand, he can't touch him anymore, and he feels extremely aggrieved.
"Captain Ling, when do you plan to leave?"
Yan Ming turned around and asked.
"I don't plan to leave for the time being. Qixia Town is a good place. I am here because the feeling outside is different. You, Yan Baotou, are also different from my brothers in the family, so I want to stay here and learn more.
.”
Ling Tengyun hesitated slightly and then said.
He had this idea before, and he felt that patrolling the streets in Qixia Town was different from other places outside.
Moreover, he communicated this idea to his family, and the old man of the Ling family immediately agreed, and told him that there was no need to come back if he had nothing to do, and that he could just rest assured in Qixia Town.
Ling Tengyun was also very surprised that the old man was so cheerful.
In fact, the old man of the Ling family has been paying attention to Yan Ming's name for a long time and is very interested in him.
Anyone can see that Yan Ming has a bright future, so now that Ling Tengyun has the opportunity to get closer to him, she will certainly support him.
Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, but then he touched his chin.
According to the original plot, Ling Tengyun was originally the next head catcher of Qixia Town.
It just so happens that the town is short of manpower right now. Isn't this just giving pillows to sleepy people?
After Yan Ming communicated with Ling Tengyun, the other party's eyes immediately became brighter and brighter...
Not long after, Qixia Town had a new police officer. He imitated Yan Ming and patrolled the town very skillfully. It was Ling Tengyun.
When everyone first meets him, there will be some differences, because Ling Tengyun looks both familiar and unfamiliar.
Previously, Ling Tengyun pretended to be Yan Ming and took his place for a while, but it still left some impression on everyone.
But soon, people began to ask everywhere about Ling Tengyun's identity.
When he found out that Ling Tengyun was actually a member of the famous Ling family, he was immediately in awe.
It seems that Qixia Town is really outrageous. The newly appointed police officers have such great backgrounds!
Combined with all the things that happened before, everyone felt that it was natural. After all, if you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to control Qixia Town.
After what happened last time, Di Yun and Lin Pingzhi returned to living anonymously and peacefully.
It's just that after Lin Pingzhi witnessed the scene of a group of Grand Masters fighting each other, his horizons broadened a lot, and he has been working harder to practice swordsmanship recently.
The things Yan Ming gave him have come into use. Lin Pingzhi, who had been stagnant for a long time, has shown signs of rapid progress recently.
Di Yun, on the other hand, has a lot of Buddhist roots, planting vegetables with peace of mind, and the Shenzhao Sutra grows according to the circumstances.
Yan Ming also received a bonus recently because after he reminded Sai Diaochan last time, the other party was actually a little scared to go back and submitted a large amount of tax to the Yamen, which was not a small amount.
It seems that Sai Diaochan is quite sensible. If the other party doesn't respond even after being reminded by him, then Yan Ming will come to check the accounts in person.
But she was not at a loss. The flow of people in Qixia Town was getting bigger and bigger, and the business of Yihong Building was naturally getting more and more prosperous. Sai Diaochan made a lot of money.
Just like that, another peaceful day passed. On this day, Yan Ming was drinking tea in the lobby of Tongfu Inn when a man walked in.
"Is Capt. Yan here? My master has sent a thank you gift from the capital."
