Shang Shulang had already noticed that one of his hands was unusual, the fingers of those hands were thick, black, and very powerful when they opened and closed, as if they had specialized in cultivating some kind of claw skill!

He saw the fierceness in the eyes of the eight claws, and sensed the evil aura in his body, this eight claws did not kill less, and had some strength.

He was ready to go, his body was covered with a faint layer of gold, and the large kitchen knife in his hand shone brightly, shining with the figure of eight claws.

The people around were also very quiet, they were also waiting for the gang leader to make a move! It had been a long time since I had seen the gang leader make a move, and the last time was two years ago, when the head of an iron-level master was crushed with eight claws. In that scene, tsk, the skull cracked, the brains scattered, the blood splashed, and several people's faces were splashed with brains. After that day, Eight Claws led the team to slaughter the entire Mountain Ghost Gang, and single-handedly killed the Mountain Ghost Gang leader and his two major guards.

In the eyes of the eight claws, the dwarf's exposed skin and muscles were distinctive, like pieces of plate armor all over the body, and exuded patches of gold. Moreover, the posture of the dwarf's feet is in harmony with the upper body, and the posture is very strange, and there are various possible changes.

Octopus frowned secretly, the little guy is like a hedgehog, it is estimated that he will erect burrs when he touches it, pierce your hand, and don't let you feel better! TMD where to train the guy, there are a lot of flaws, but in fact, it is difficult to find a place to start, it seems that there is an unpredictable rebound force everywhere, if you can't work with one move, it's a bit dangerous.

If there is a martial artist on the scene, you will definitely be able to see Shang Shulang's seemingly loose stance implying mystery, he moves his feet slightly, swings his body, and once you attack, he will surprise him and fight back deadly.

Seeing this, Eight Claws fell silent, his face changed slightly, this fierce and fierce guy, it is not easy to settle down! In fact, before the invitation to fight, Eight Claws was not very willing to make a move, after all, he was old, it was not easy to mix like this, there was no need to take risks. In case it is planted, both people and money will be empty.

Moreover, the five personal minions on the country road have just tested this person's skills, and it is not cost-effective to carry it hard.

However, not doing so can also damage your authority in the gang. The younger brother was killed, and the boss didn't come forward to retaliate, so he couldn't say anything, how could he control the situation in the future and subdue those old guys who were about to move?

Alas, Lao Ge, Lao Ge, why haven't you arrived yet? Every year, you have made an offering, but you have dropped the chain at a critical time!

Eight Claws is a little anxious, but the people he has already arranged are not in place, and it is not possible to find a step!

As the two sides were fighting, several horses galloped in, rolling up a cloud of smoke. The people on the horse were all dressed in official clothes, and the word "patrol" was embroidered on their chests. The person at the head, although he is not tall, is restrained, and his whole body seems to have hidden power that can burst out at any time!

Octopus finally breathed a sigh of relief, it's finally here!

They were members of the Black Pine Town Patrol Team, and he had secretly invited them to clean up the mess.

At the head of the group was his old friend, the patrol captain Grande, known as the "Seal Hand".

Octopus was not a reckless man, he made careful arrangements. If Shang Shulang was easy to deal with, he would be unceremonious. But in case he himself is not Shang Shulang's opponent, then he can only rely on Grande to settle things and calm things down. In the end, no matter what, he will be safe and sound, and at worst, it will only be a ruin of wealth and disaster, and there will be no substantial losses.

Tough gang leaders are the basis for the existence of gangs, and they must not be embarrassed and admit their cowardices, how can they maintain the gang in the future, and how can the younger brother bring it? In order to maintain authority, what is it to pay some gold and treasures? After all, money can be earned again, but there is only one life.

"You're Trull, aren't you?" said Grande laughing and jumping off his horse.

Shang Shulang was surprised that the other party actually knew him, he smiled and nodded, and put down the kitchen knife.

"Tong Lao Liu, the guy you call Mr. Tong, he is my friend. He recommends that you join the patrol team. Don't you know?"

"Huh?" Mr. Tong, that's no wonder.

Shang Shulang hurriedly said: "Yes, of course I know! It turns out that you are the friend that Mr. Tong often mentions?"

In fact, Mr. Tong did not mention any patrol team when he came out, let alone recommend him.

But this official said so, that's it, it's a good thing for himself anyway!

Eight claws were stunned, his face was ugly, he didn't expect this short man to have a background, and he lost a lot. The other gangsters also secretly said, it's over, this kid was recommended by Grand's friend, and he is going to become a ruthless person on patrol in the future! Especially the one who said cruel words just now, his legs were so frightened that he wanted to run away quickly!

Grant doesn't care what Octopus and his gang think, he is seriously lacking now! Recently, after several battles, seven or eight inspectors have died heroically, and many cases can no longer be carried out, and the pressure from above is very great, and he is already overstretched.

He learned about Trull's resume and abilities from Tong Lao Liu, and heard about his excellent performance in Black Pine Town, and he was already excited.

When he saw me today, this posture, this kitchen knife, it was too individual! He quietly saw from a distance that Shang Shulang dared to confront Eight Claws, and even did not fall behind, knowing that this person was not simple, and he was even more determined to recruit him.

"Let's go, don't waste time with these gangsters, and let Octopus apologize for you another day. ”

Eight Claws hurriedly nodded and agreed, "It should be, it should be!"

On the way back to Black Pine Town, Grant chatted with Shang Shulang and explained to him about the problems of Octopus and his gang. Indeed, this gang is not a serious organization, fraud, robbery and even murder, committing numerous crimes.

As a modern person with a sense of justice, Shang Shulang had a hard time understanding why the dignified patrol team would have contact with them, and even protect this underworld force.

However, Grant said that the eight claws are the eyes and ears and minions of the guardian team and the patrol team, and they have done many things for the patrol team that are not easy to solve. Although the power of the government is strong, the other world is too chaotic for the government to manage at all. If the government expands and absorbs more personnel, it will face the disadvantages of a huge organization, financial difficulties, and an increased burden on the people.

Rather than that, it is better to use civil forces to manipulate them to do things for the government, and of course, they will naturally have to bear the consequences of the numerous gangs and endangering public order. In this kind of contradiction, it is not wise to simply destroy them, and the pragmatic way is to balance the forces of all sides for my use, and neither indulge them nor kill them, this is the secret of governing the place!

Shang Shulang remembered a teacher in this world who said that governing the country lies in balance, and the magistrate is rewarding and punishing. As for the suffering of the common people, the key lies in controlling the scope and extent of the victimization, and completely eliminating the harm is simply delusional. This is like maintaining the ecological balance, for the sheep to destroy the wolf, the grassland is over, indulge the wolf, the sheep are gone, and want to train the wolf into a dog through reasoning, which is a big joke in the world.

Night covered the town, and Grant brought Shang Shulang to the patrol team. It was a large courtyard, and there were watchtowers on all four corners of the courtyard, and there were many people on it, apparently patrolling.

In the middle of the courtyard stands a five-storey tower, cast of metal, which is not only dark in color, but also carved with intricate runes, and between the dense lines, sometimes flashes of electric light, which is even more mysterious.

Grant proudly pointed to the tower.

"Don't underestimate it, it's the 'Patrol Tower'. It is not only a building, but also a magic weapon, which can not only fly, but also have functions such as defense and attack, and is the standard configuration of the Imperial Patrol Agency. The town-level patrol team is five floors, the city-level is nine-tiered, the county-level is thirteen floors, and the imperial capital's patrol tower is eighteen-storey. However, it's a lot of money to start this guy!"

Grant led Shang Shulang all over the courtyard of the patrol team, and took him up to the tower to observe, and gave a detailed introduction to all aspects of the situation.
