The patrol officer was a unit responsible for maintaining order within the city.

It can also be transformed into the armed units she needs anytime, anywhere.

Some people are now even demanding a reduction in the number of patrol officers at the Ningping Police Station, arguing that the powers of the Public Security Bureau and the Ningping Police Station overlap...

Both are patrol officers, but the patrol office and the security bureau are completely different types.

The former are the elites selected by Jinxi through assessment, while the latter are local thugs, good-for-nothings, and spies from all sides.

Many years ago, a police inspector colluded with vagrants outside the city to kill Yinlin's parents.

"Let me see which suicidal person came up with this suggestion..."

She glanced at the signatures on the proposal and was struck by the flamboyant, joint signatures of several prominent local families and wealthy merchants.

Amidst Sanhua's dazed expression, Jinxi sprouted delicate crimson dragon horns on her forehead, and a wisp of golden, scorching flame suddenly rose from her body!

"Who among the enlightened kings and sage emperors can lead the troops?"

In the distant world of "Arknights," there exists a colossal beast called [Sui]. In ancient times, it was revered as a god by the people of the Great Yan. It possesses immense power and an arrogant nature; with a single flick of its tail, it can shatter mountains and level cities.

The proud Sui Beast, at the request of the Great Yan True Dragon, drove out its own kind, but ultimately also turned against the Great Yan.

Exhausted, the true form of the Sui Beast was suppressed within the Sui Mausoleum.

His consciousness split into twelve fragments, scattered throughout the Yan Kingdom.

Over the years, the twelve fragments have all taken human form. They address each other as brothers and sisters, and each possesses the power of the [Year].

Adam gave Jinxi a special advantage, namely the twelve powers of the year.

The Flame of Today is the ninth of the twelve powers of the Year Beast: [Shaping]. It can melt all metals in the world and forge all weapons in the world.

"Heaven has a great furnace, earth produces five metals, their brilliance gleams and their cold tempering illuminates the clear clouds."

Even the most heat-resistant metal in the world will instantly turn into molten iron in the golden flames. In a short while, this wisp of flame burned half of the Huanglan Encyclopedia.

But before Sanhua could summon ice with her resonance ability, pale light descended from the void.

The power of time easily reversed time here to a few breaths ago, as if nothing had ever happened.

In Sanhua's extraordinary vision, a phantom of a colossal, earth-shattering dragon materialized behind Lingyin. Its size and depth were immeasurable, and it looked down upon everything and the world with the indifferent gaze of a god.

Sanhua felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

Jinxi calmed her anger, and the two small red dragon horns on her head disappeared. She sighed slightly in her heart.

The main character gave her way too much of a power-up!

All the Year Lords combined probably wouldn't be enough to defeat [Year] with just one claw. She originally thought one or two powers would be enough.

However, there's a kind of hunger called "your mom thinks you're hungry."

Fearing she would suffer the same fate as Yanshan and Huangquan, Adam spared no expense in expending even more of the world's essence to adorn her with the powers of a twelve-year-old.

Let her develop them one by one on her own.

The flames just now were caused by Jinxi losing control in her anger, triggering the Ninth Power of the Year Beast.

"..."

She gave a forced smile: "Sanhua, they're trying to test my limits while Jinzhou is beset by internal and external troubles."

...No, I think if those people saw what just happened, they wouldn't dare to even think of trying to probe us.

Sensing a change in the Prime Minister's mindset, Sanhua bowed respectfully: "Prime Minister, please give your orders."

“In the past, ninety percent of my power came from the Lord of Sui, so my greatest dream was to rise to the highest position in the court, starting from this prefecture and step by step ascending to the imperial palace, becoming a powerful minister second only to the emperor. This was also the destiny that Bu Ling had recently divined for me.”

"The divination she performed for me indicated: a capable minister in times of peace."

"Although her expression was perfectly composed at the time, I could still tell that she had more to say, and I was afraid that the divination had another part to it."

What is the phrase "A capable minister is essential for a well-governed world"?

What else could it be?

Jinxi's fingers tapped on the table, and also tapped on Sanhua's heart.

"Now that I possess power surpassing that of the ruler of the year, how could I be content to remain a mere powerful minister?"

"It's time to carve out a territory and establish a new domain. Jinzhou is the place where I will rise to power in the future. It needs to be cleaned up. How can Jinzhou be developed well if it's mixed up with these insects?"

She knew all too well how many disgusting scoundrels lurked in Jinzhou City, both openly and secretly.

She could tolerate it in the past for the sake of the bigger picture.

Now she can't bear it.

"Give me the list of those local families and chambers of commerce, and fabricate charges against them one by one."

"And those good-for-nothings in the police department, and all the outlaws they associate with, count them all out."

"Local bullies, the Remnant Star Society."

"at last......"

Jinxi now has an extra black chess piece in her hand.

She carefully placed the chess piece in a small box and handed it to Sanhua: "Go and tell Yangyang to deliver this to the Night Return Army."

"The people who handed it over to us?"

"No, hand it over directly to General Ji Yan."

Chapter Fifty-Five: Those who dare to criticize me shall have their entire family executed!

Jinzhou, Tiangong Border Defense.

Tao Qi, the head of the Tiangong affairs office, is a young and shrewd woman. Her rise to this position at such a young age is not entirely due to her own abilities. It is the unfathomable background behind her that commands the respect of the border guards.

Tiangong Border Defense was an important institution for the logistics and civil engineering of the military and civilians in the present-day state.

Under the dim yellow light, Tao Qi was staring at a map on the table.

This map is indeed a map of the present-day city, drawn with exceptional detail, leaving nothing out, from the government center and wealthy estates to the most ordinary residences.

"Chief Administrator, may we begin the report?"

Tao Qi drawled lazily, "Report it."

The three stewards began to report on the unusual frequency outside Jinzhou City today.

"The frequency and intensity in Longwangjiao to the west are normal, while the frequency and intensity in Xiehuazhuang have decreased by thirty-four."

"The area south of Yihu Hill is operating normally, the Hukou Mine is operating normally, and the distribution center is operating normally."

"There are slight fluctuations in peak values ​​on Pingting Mountain to the east, and the large number of homeless people gathered on Chaosheng Cliff is causing some interference in the data."

"The intensity of the noise at the Qichi Village site to the north is increasing. According to experts from the Huaxu Research Institute, it is very likely that a sonic barrier will form there within a month."

Suddenly, the lazy Tao Qi made a stop gesture, and the stewards immediately shut their mouths.

The shrewd woman removed a button from her cuff—it was a communication device given to her by her boss—and put it behind her ear.

His face, which was always as calm as still water, showed an unprecedentedly violent fluctuation.

"...Is it coming? Is it coming? Okay, I understand."

After putting away the communicator, Tao Qi gave the stewards an excited smile: "The order is to immediately close all entrances and exits to Jinzhou City. No one is allowed to enter or leave, not even a dog."

Besides logistics and civil engineering, Tiangong Border Defense also has a less noticeable function.

--close the door!

......

The long-dormant police station was brightly lit tonight, even brighter than during the day!

Since the magistrate established the Xunning Post and expanded the number of patrol officers, the power of the security bureau has been largely divided. Those who used to bully others in the city because of their status have gradually become accustomed to shirking their duties and living a life of humility.

But tonight, they suddenly received orders to assemble in the courtyard.

The police chief was a burly man. After being flattered by several acquaintances, he looked excitedly towards the door.

He heard that people were going to be arrested tonight, a lot of people.

Is everyone here?

"Chief, more than a dozen are missing! I heard they've all switched to business and don't want to deal with us anymore."

The leaders started joking around.

"It's about time. Everyone, perk up! As soon as the orders come in, split up and move out."

Suddenly, the sound of many footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Everyone's spirits lifted, and their eyes turned towards the courtyard gate, where they unexpectedly spotted Ling Yin's bodyguard, San Hua!

Behind her followed a group of patrol officers from the Xunning Garrison, each one spirited and sharp-eyed.

"Greetings, Lord Sanka!"

Skilled at flattery and enthusiastic greetings.

But the police chief stood there in surprise and doubt, staring at Sanhua, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

"Take these people first."

Dozens of burly patrol officers responded with a roar, and in groups of two or three, they subdued everyone in the police station. The chief's eyes widened: "You... how dare you arrest me!? Do you know who I am!?"

"It's precisely because Lord Yin knows who you are that he has tolerated you drawing a salary without working."

Sanhua, his heart and face both cold: "The suspects in the Public Security Bureau and other positions have long been incompetent and corrupt, colluding with outsiders and violating Article 47 of the current state's regulations. By order of the Magistrate, they shall be arrested immediately! Furthermore! Those residences connected to them shall also be surrounded. No matter who they are, not a single person shall be allowed to escape tonight!"

Everyone's gaze changed.

—Is the current magistrate planning to eradicate all local power in this prefecture?!

Sanhua said softly, "I have other things to do, so I'll leave the matter of confiscating the property to Lord Danjin."

"No trouble at all, just what I wanted!!"

Behind her, a young female ranger wielding a scarlet blade danced with delight.

......

North of the Qichi Village ruins, past the Fubo Formation and the Yuanwang Camp, lies the front line of the Night Return Army's resistance against Mingshi.

Kitarokuno, Kitaroku Valley!

Dark clouds gathered here, obscuring the starlight and moonlight.

The pale searchlights shone back and forth in the military camp, adding a touch of gloom to the deep night. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot up from the camp, shooting down a bird-shaped afterimage.

"General, what excellent archery skills!!"

The lieutenant exclaimed in praise.

Ji Yan lowered the bow, a slight smile appearing on his serious face: "You flatter me."

Ji Yan, born into a family of doctors, joined the army as a military doctor.

Normally, given his status, he wouldn't have been able to enter the high ranks of the Night Return Army. However, during the Battle of the Curved Blade three years ago, he was given a critical mission when Ge Shulin's fate was unknown, and he was determined to lead the Night Return Army to break through the desperate situation.

At that moment, he resonated with the Azure Dragon in the darkness.

The wind in the air transformed into the dragon spear in his hand, stabilizing the desolate wind field and leading him to fight his way out of the encirclement.

After that, Ji Yan made many military achievements and was quickly promoted from the former commander of Fubo Army. Not long after Jin Xi took office as the magistrate of Jinzhou, he became the newly appointed general of Ye Gui Army, who was widely respected.

He was strict but not harsh in managing his subordinates, and his rewards and punishments were clear, which earned him the deep respect and love of the Night Return Army.

In this world, it seems that only Ming Shi can make him frown.

However, in reality, General Ji Yan, who was caught between the Prime Minister and the Night Return Army from the very beginning, was never at ease.

"General, Yangyang, the scout in white, requests an audience."

The vanguard returned at night, while the rearguard marched on the white-clad cavalry, and the white-clad cavalry also had many scouts.

"Please let her in."

A young girl with feathered hair rushed over, taking out a small box: "General, this is something the current magistrate asked me to give you."

"Did the Prime Minister say anything?"
