![]() ConstableThese are relevant references from the Books where Constables are mentioned. I make no pronouncements on these matters, but report them as I find them. Arrive at your own conclusions. I wish you well, Fogaban Cuwignaka nodded, recognizing the justice of this view. It was not Hci, so to speak, who was being obeyed, but rather a duly constituted authority, an officer, a constable or warden in such matters. "I am Yasushi, twenty-third constable of the march of Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands," said the bound fellow next to Tajima. "Surely both might bring some ransom," I suggested, "one as a potential recruit to the cohorts of Yamada, the other as a brave and valued constable." Then behind him, his shirt torn, a sword in each hand, stood Yasushi. "I am Yasushi," he announced, "a march constable of Lord Yamada. This man is Arashi, the bandit. He is my prisoner." "At the moment, nothing," said Yasushi. "Your prisoners are all in custody. There is nothing to fear on that score. In the morning, as a march constable, I shall petition an audience with the camp lord, second under the shogun himself. He will be familiar with Sumomo. He need only look at the field slave, and see that she is not Sumomo. You may then see to the release of the prisoners, and let the warrior enlist his weaponry in the service of the shogun, and later marshal your men and resume your search." |
