Tang Shan got out of the car and paid the money before walking into the embassy. Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by two British soldiers guarding the door.
"Who are you? This is the British Empire's embassy, not a place where you can enter and leave as you please.”
"I have something to discuss with Consul Charles," Tang Shan replied in English.”
"Do you have an appointment?" asked the guard.”
"No, I haven't." Tang Shan said.
"Since you don't have an appointment, then make an appointment first. Mr. Charles won't see idlers.”the guard said.
"Can I trouble you to inform him that I really have something to discuss with Consul Charles?" Tang Shan asked again.”
The guard was getting impatient and pointed his gun at Tang Shan.""Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, I won't be polite.”
Tang Shan's expression darkened when the guard pointed his gun at him. He narrowed his eyes, clearly angry. "Soldier, are you sure you want to shoot me?" he asked in a deep voice.”
"Yes, if you don't leave now, I'll shoot you for obstructing official duties," the guard said with disdain.”
Tang Shan didn't want to use his status to pressure him, but the guard in front of him was too difficult to deal with. He had no choice but to take out the Earl of Great Britain medal from his pocket.
Then, Tang Shan's eyes narrowed as he said coldly,""I am a first-class count of Great Britain, conferred by the Queen herself. Soldier, tell me now, are you sure you want to shoot me?”
"Oh! Damn it!"
"Sh * t! How is this possible?"
The moment Tang Shan revealed his identity, the two guards 'first reaction was disbelief, disbelief, and shock. However, the medal engraved with the exclusive inscription of the British royal family told them that all of this was true.
After a brief moment of shock, the two guards lowered their noble heads at the same time. The soldier who pointed the gun at Tang Shan trembled in disappointment.
" Earl…Earl…Please forgive me for my rudeness just now…I don't know your noble identity…"
Tang Shan was magnanimous, and he had important matters to attend to. Naturally, he would not be calculative with such a small soldier guarding the door. "Can I go in and look for Consul Charles now?"”
"Of course, please come in!" The two guards respectfully invited Tang Shan in.
Tang Shan didn't waste any more time with them. He strode into the embassy. Not long after he entered, he stopped and said,""Soldier, you are very brave. You are the first person to point a gun at me.”
These words were originally Tang Shan's teasing words, but when the guard heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his entire person instantly became unwell.
After entering the embassy, Tang Shan followed the relevant signs in the embassy and easily found the office of Consul Charles.
Ever since he received the Earl of Great Britain medal, the system settings had also changed. Tang Shan now had a rare identity as a British noble. The reason why it was rare was that he was conferred the title of Queen as a Chinese. This was the first time in British history. As a first-class earl personally conferred by the Queen, although Tang Shan did not have any substantial power, it was enough for many people to fight to curry favor with him. The British Consul, Charles, was one of the people who wanted to curry favor with him.
At this time, Charles was busy writing something. Tang Shan knocked on the door and smiled."My dear old friend Charles, you're really a busy man!”
Suddenly hearing Tang Shan's voice and looking up again, Charles was pleasantly surprised. He put down the pen in his hand and put on a big smile. He opened his arms and welcomed Tang Shan."Oh, what kind of wind blew today to actually bring my dearest friend from Tang Shan here!”
Facing Charles 'bear hug, Tang Shan quickly stepped aside and smiled.""That's fine. You should know that I'm not used to this kind of greeting.”
"Hahaha!" Charles also smiled." In your words, you're a straight man. You don't like this, right?"”
"Old friend, you know me best." After a pause, Tang Shan's expression immediately turned serious and he said,""Charles, seriously, I'm here for nothing. I'm here for a favor.”
" No problem," Charles said straightforwardly." If you have anything to say, just say it. Old friend, your business is my business."”
"Actually, it's not a big deal," Tang Shan said.”As he spoke, he took out the bag of dried crocodile and continued,"I want you to find an authoritative doctor to help me test these dried crocodiles. I suspect that they have been poisoned.”
Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but be curious, so he asked,""Old friend, are you involved in some case? Do you need me to help you settle it?”
Tang Shan shook his head." I will settle this matter myself. As for the specifics, it's not convenient for me to disclose it now. When I need you to come forward, I won't be polite."”
"That's good. If there's anything, just let me know.”Charles knew Tang Shan's ability and did not ask further.
Tang Shan nodded and handed the bag of dried crocodile to Charles.""Then, I'll leave this matter to you. Once you have the results, send someone to inform me at the Jingwu Sect.”
"Alright!"
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. It was not until they had dinner with Charles that Tang Shan returned to Jingwu Sect.
The next day, the sky had just broken when the disciples of the Essence Martial Sect woke up in twos and threes. What greeted them next was their habitual morning exercise. Ye Dachang was the most active. He was the first to open the door. He didn't expect that something big would happen as soon as the door opened.
"Not good, someone died!"
With Ye Dachang's exclamation, the entire Jingwu Sect was jolted awake.
A moment later, almost everyone had gathered in front of the door.
Tang Shan pushed everyone aside and went forward to turn the dead body over. When he saw the face of the dead body, Tang Shan's heart instantly sank.
"It's Akutagawa Ryuichi!" Chen Zhen exclaimed.”
Instantly, everyone's hearts sank. The Japanese were powerful, and Akutagawa Ryuichi had died at the entrance of the Jing Wu Gate. The consequences of this incident were definitely quite serious.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do?" asked Huo Tingen.”
"Report it to the police station first!" Tang Shan said.”
"I'll go." Chen Zhen volunteered to step forward. It was time for him to step forward.
Meanwhile, Tang Shan would be in charge of the overall situation. At this moment, he was the backbone of the sect, and there could not be any panic. Otherwise, the sect would be finished. In fact, Tang Shan did not panic because he had a powerful trump card, which was his status as a first-class earl of the United Kingdom. The Jingwu Sect happened to be in the British Settlement. If the Japanese wanted to cause trouble, they would have to think twice.
However, less than five minutes after Chen Zhen left, the people from Hongkou Dojo rushed over. All of them were aggressive, as if they had expected Akutagawa Ryuichi to die at the entrance of the Jingwu Sect.
The Japanese samurai rudely pushed aside the crowd, and the few people in the lead instantly fell on Akutagawa Ryuichi, crying heartbroken. Another person pulled out his katana and pointed it at Tang Shan with a fierce expression.""It's your sect that killed our dojo master Akutagawa. I'll kill all of you to avenge our dojo master.”
" Young man," Tang Shan said coldly." You have to take responsibility for your words. You'd better not speak without evidence."”After a pause, he continued," Also, I hate it when people point their knives at me. You have three seconds to retract your knife. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"”
