Chapter 181 New Captain of the City Patrol
Ding Huan and Yan Mei walked into the city patrol room, only to see four or five people inside chewing a long object in a staggering manner, with an expression of extreme enjoyment on each of their faces.

"Brother Huan, this is the Joy Branch. I've heard of it. This thing is addictive, but it is fatally toxic. Once you take it, it's hard to quit. Over time, people will die of blood and essence loss."

When Yan Mei saw Huanxizhi, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and he whispered something to Ding Huan.

He was born into a merchant family, so he was very familiar with the Joy Branch that came from the Taoist world. His mother died from the Joy Branch.

Ordinary people can't even afford to eat this thing.

"We're here to sign up to join the city patrol guards. Who's in charge?" Ding Huan asked.

Seeing that there was no need for competition here, Ding Huan didn't even bother to say that he was here to apply for the job.

"I'll help you register." A timid voice came.

Because Ding Huan had not used his divine sense before, it was not until the voice was heard that he saw a skinny guy as thin as a monkey walking out from the corner.

As for the other five people who were chewing the joy branches, they didn't even look at Ding Huan.

They knew very well that after a while, several people would come from West Wind City to die.

It is also because of these guys who often come here to die that they can enjoy happiness here for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the city patrol guards must have a certain police record, they wouldn't bother to continue recruiting people.

"Are you two here to apply for the position of city patrol guards?" the thin man asked carefully.

Ding Huan asked, "We are applying for the position of captain. Are there any captains or deputy captains available here?"

The thin man shook his head:

"No more. The regular team gets two crystals a month, and the deputy team gets one crystal a month."

"Very good, then let's register." After Ding Huan finished speaking, he picked up the laws of the Burning Star Lordship Kingdom that were placed aside and looked through them.

The five patrolling city guards who had been lying on their sides chewing on branches of joy looked over in surprise when they heard Ding Huan say that he wanted to apply for the positions of captain and deputy captain.

Still no one spoke.

"What's the captain's name?"

The thin man asked a very funny question, but no one found it funny.

"The captain is me, Ding Huan. The deputy captain is him, Yan Mei."

Ding Huan said with a smile after reading the law.

He had divine consciousness, and even though the book of law was a bit thick, it was a simple matter that he could just scan with his divine consciousness and imprint it in his memory.

"Okay." The thin man took out the appointment letters of the captain and deputy captain, wrote down the names of Ding Huan and Yan Mei with a pen, and then handed the two appointment letters to Ding Huan and Yan Mei.

Ding Huan's eyes fell on the appointment letter and he was a little surprised.

These are actually two magical weapons?

"Put your handprint on it, and then the appointment letter will have your information."

The thin man's tone was still timid.

Ding Huan and Yan Mei reached out and pressed on the appointment letter.

The next moment, his information appeared on the appointment letter in Ding Huan's hand.

It’s just a line of words.

Ding Huan, captain of the patrol guard of Xifeng City in the Burning Star Lord Country, is responsible for all security matters in Xifeng City.

Before Ding Huan could put away the appointment letter, a man who had just finished chewing a happy branch stood up, squinted his eyes and stared at Ding Huan and said:

"Since you are already the captain, you will be in charge of the case at the North City Ore Store today."

Ding Huan said slowly: "Who are you?"

"My name is Qi Zhenyu. I have been a member of the City Patrol for twelve years and am now a Level 4 guard." This guy spoke in a sharp tone and it was obvious that he did not take Ding Huan's team seriously.

Ding Huan asked again: "Then who am I?"

"Didn't you just join the City Patrol?" Qi Zhenyu said disdainfully.

"I'm the captain, so what qualifications do you have to order me around?" Ding Huan said calmly.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, the others were stunned, and then burst into laughter.

After everyone finished laughing, Qi Zhenyu looked at Ding Huan and sighed:

"Young man, you want to eat until you're fat right after you get here. Aren't you afraid of choking to death? Let me teach you. In the city patrol, the captain is not the most powerful. The one who has been here the longest is the most powerful.

So I can order you to do something, and if you don't want to do it, then I have the right to kill you."

"Oh, after killing me, did the two crystals of this month fall into your hands? Or if I died outside, did my crystals also fall into your hands?"

Ding Huan said sarcastically.

"Not stupid, but now that you've pressed your fingerprints, there's no chance to regret it." Qi Zhenyu said disdainfully.

"Who made this rule?" Ding Huan's tone was the same as before.

A person beside Qi Zhenyu also finished chewing the Joy Branch. After hearing Ding Huan's words, he stood up immediately:
"Why, you're not convinced? This is a rule set by our patrol city guards, and it has also been approved by the Lord of West Wind City."

At this moment, a disheveled woman rushed in:

"Brother Qi, the people from the Iron League in the outer city want to take my husband away. Not only did they beat us and rob our goods, they also want to take people away..."

"We have no control over what happens in the outer city." Without waiting for Qi Zhenyu to speak, the man who had just confronted Ding Huan said another sentence.

Qi Zhenyu also said: "That's right, you go and negotiate on your own, the outer city has nothing to do with us."

"But when you took my crystals, didn't you promise that if I got robbed in the city, I would come after you? Even though they are from the outer city, they robbed my store in the city..."

The woman said angrily.

"Get out." Qi Zhenyu kicked the woman out.

After kicking, he seemed to remember something and said to Ding Huan and Yan Mei:

"You two follow her out to deal with this matter. Remember to respect your seniors next time." After saying this, he raised his hand and slapped Ding Huan in the face.

Ding Huan's body was on the side, and Qi Zhenyu's slap missed.

He chuckled:
"No wonder you dare to ask me how many tricks I have."

Ding Huan ignored Qi Zhenyu and continued:

"According to Article 11 of the General Principles of the City Patrol Laws of our Burning Star Lordship, if a city patrol commits an offense against a superior, the superior may execute him without mercy."

After saying this, Ding Huan looked at Qi Zhenyu with a smile:
"Do you think you are committing an insubordination?"

"Your ancestors..."

Qi Zhenyu was furious. He had just said three words when Ding Huan sent a wind blade towards him.

Qi Zhenyu's head was chopped off by the wind blade and rolled more than ten meters away, with fear and disbelief in his eyes.

Ding Huan carefully avoided the bloodstains, and then said to the thin man:

"My patrol city law stipulates that no matter what happens, it must be recorded in detail. Did you write down what happened just now?"

At this time, Ding Huan had already understood that this thin guy was the recorder of the City Patrol Guard, responsible for recording everything that happened inside and outside the City Patrol Guard.

"Yes, yes, I will remember it now..."

The thin man was pale and spoke stutteringly. He didn't dare to disobey Ding Huan's words. He picked up the pen and quickly wrote down everything that had just happened.

Ding Huan was so fierce that he didn't dare to remember it blindly.

"You..." The guy who said that Ding Huan was not convinced also turned pale.

How come there is a guy so bold as to kill the city guards?

When a city patrol guard was killed, it was usually when he went out to meddle in other people's affairs. This was the first time that a city patrol guard was killed.

No, the person in front of me is also a member of the City Patrol, and he is the captain.

But the city patrol has never had such a captain. How can this be against common sense?

What does it mean when a captain kills a guard according to the laws of the Burning Star Lordship?

"Now it's your turn. You just committed an insubordination..."

Before Ding Huan finished speaking, the patrolman knelt down:
"Senior, no... Captain, I was so drunk from chewing the Joy Twig just now, Captain, please go easy on me."

Ding Huan's face darkened: "Why should I show mercy?"

"I, I..." The city patrol guard was sweating profusely on his forehead.

He was sure that Ding Huan was a powerful monk.

You are a monk, do you think it is interesting for you to come here and snatch this bowl of rice from us?

"It's not that I can't forgive you for the woman who came to report the case just now. So, you can take people to resolve her issue." Ding Huan pointed at the woman who was kicked out of the door.

"Thank you, Captain. Thank you very much, Captain..."

When the woman at the door heard Ding Huan's words, she quickly knelt down to thank him.

She was frightened by Ding Huan's terrible methods just now, but when she thought that her husband was about to become the same as the dead Qi Zhenyu, she began to panic.

"This, this..." The man hesitated.

The Tieli League outside the city is not a good group of people, and there is a high possibility that he will be killed if he goes there.

"Forget about going..." After saying this, Ding Huan raised his hand and a wind blade appeared.

"I..." The man felt the breath of death, and before he could even utter the word "die", Ding Huan hit him on the head again.

Ding Huan looked at the young man who was recording with trembling hands:

"Not only did he commit treason just now, he also refused to obey his superiors' orders. Everything that happened is recorded."

"Yes." The thin young man quickly leaned over and wrote again.

Ding Huan turned to the other three people.

The three of them had not finished chewing the joy sticks, but the joy sticks had long been thrown aside, and the expressions of enjoyment had disappeared without a trace.

The three guys looked at Ding Huan with horror.

Ding Huan said calmly: "I am now ordering you as the captain to deal with the matter of Tielimeng occupying other people's shops. What do you think?"

The three of them stood up reflexively.

"Follow the captain's orders, we'll be there soon."

Ding Huan nodded: "Yan Mei, you and Lao Liu go over and take a look and deal with the situation."

"Yes, Brother Huan." Yan Mei said immediately.

Ding Huan is confident in Yan Mei's work and knows that he will never suffer any loss.

After the group of people left, Ding Huan looked at the recorder:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Peng Leizhi. I have been working as a recorder for the city patrol for three years." The thin young man said in a panic.

Ding Huan nodded:

"Yes, you can clean up this place later."

"Yes." Peng Leizhi responded quickly.

When Ding Huan turned and walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something:
"Where is the best place to live in West Wind City?"

"In the Dajing District." Peng Leizhi blurted out.
