The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Looking at Yan Yunsheng's dumbfounded expression, it was clear that he misunderstood something, but Zhu Haomiao was too lazy to explain and waved his hand.

"Drink the Qilin Soup while it's hot, it's a great tonic for Qi and blood. I'm going out for a patrol."

Seeing the young man about to leave, Yan Yunsheng suddenly remembered something and quickly called him back.

"Sir, this month's salary has been issued, and the reward silver for apprehending the three prison break criminals has also been distributed..."

Noticing Yan Yunsheng's hesitant expression, Zhu Haomiao paused and squinted his eyes.

"It wasn't deducted, was it?"

"No, it was fully paid, but as for the distribution of the reward silver, I am a bit undecided and would like your instruction."

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao decisively said, "Each family of the brothers who sacrificed during the capture will receive an additional 100 taels, I'll take half of the remaining, and the rest will be distributed to the others involved in the operation."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yunsheng, who had already prepared, quickly took out a stack of silver notes from the drawer and, after counting them, handed a portion over to Zhu Haomiao.

"Sir, please keep these safe."

"Hmm."

Taking the thick stack of silver notes, a flicker of heat rose in Zhu Haomiao's eyes, and suddenly, he had a thought and excitedly said.

"Go get the sea arrest warrant!"

How could I have overlooked these wild leeks?

The thought of the empty field of leeks in the dungeon made Zhu Haomiao anxious.

He hadn't plucked any people in a long time!

He really wanted to pluck something!

"As you command!"

Yan Yunsheng executed the order without hesitation.

But when he came out holding a few tomb-sized volumes thicker than a dictionary, Zhu Haomiao was a bit overwhelmed.

"Are these all?!"

"Yes, these are the fugitives who have not been captured in the past 20 years."

Placing the stack taller than a person in front of Zhu Haomiao, Yan Yunsheng also took out a thin booklet.

"These are the warrants for the crimes committed in the vicinity of the Imperial City in recent months; based on my experience, you should focus on these individuals."

"The previous fugitives are almost impossible to be solved unless they offend again."

Taking the thin booklet, Zhu Haomiao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced over it briefly, and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go out for a patrol."

The main duty of the Anti-theft Bureau is to patrol the alleys, suppress illegality, and maintain public order.

In contrast, office work is actually minimal.

...

With the anticipation of finding wild leeks, Zhu Haomiao personally patrolled for half a month.

Then, he deeply realized how difficult it is to find a deliberately disguised fugitive in the ancient times without a celestial eye system!

If it weren't for following the clues of the crime, with his daily patrols alone, he might not come across even one in a year!

Understanding this principle, Zhu Haomiao decisively shifted his target, abandoning the hidden leeks and focusing on those "heroes" in the open.

As it is said, shallow water breeds more turtles; everywhere is a big brother!

In the entire Imperial City, there are 108 market stalls; Lechang Square is just a medium to lower-end one, with a population of only twenty to thirty thousand.

In such a small place, more than a dozen large and small factions are entrenched.

These tumors secretly exploit the people, committing all sorts of misdeeds, yet they have massive industries and cannot escape even if they want to!

"Sir, are you really going to act against the local gangs?"

By the Martial Arts Arena, Zhu Haomiao sat relaxed on a Taishi Chair, watching a group of subordinates fighting fiercely below, and nodded nonchalantly.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng, who was standing respectfully by, showed a worried expression.

Eliminating the gangs is easy, but the entangled protective umbrellas afterward are key.

Each gang might have several gods behind them; once you eliminate their gloves, they might have nothing to say openly but would resent you deeply in the dark!

The most crucial thing is that judging by Li Lin's tone, it seems he doesn't just intend to target a specific gang, but wants to uproot the entire underground force of Lechang Square!

This would incite public fury!

Noticing Yan Yunsheng's unspoken worries, Zhu Haomiao looked down at the ring and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, I'm almost through my hibernation period, and next, I won't have to hold back."

After speaking, Zhu Haomiao clenched his fists, feeling the overwhelming power transforming within his spirit and body, smiled lightly, and turned to the bewildered Yan Yunsheng.

"Moreover, it's only natural for constables to apprehend thieves, isn't it?"

A shiver ran through him; the young man was clearly speaking to him, yet Yan Yunsheng felt as if his gaze pierced through him, looking out into the vast world.

In a trance, it seemed he was conversing with the heavens and the earth, with an indescribable profound meaning hidden in his words.

Hibernation period?

Holding back?

What does it all mean?

Although he couldn't comprehend it, sensing that the young man's mind was made up, Yan Yunsheng shook his head, casting aside all doubts, his eyes glinting coldly as he resolutely clasped his fists.

"Sir, where you point, I shall proceed!"

"Haha, there's no need to be so bloodthirsty. I'm a person with a kind heart and can't bear to see bloodshed, I won't cause unnecessary deaths."

"..."

If you hadn't killed all the death row inmates in the prison, I might have believed you!

Seeing Yan Yunsheng's indescribable expression, Zhu Haomiao seemed to sense the disrespect in his heart, rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction.

"How is your injury?"

"Thanks to you, sir, with a bowl of Qilin Soup every day, I have already recovered."

Talking about himself, Yan Yunsheng eagerly reported.

"Not only that, but I've benefited from this disaster, greatly increasing my strength!"

"Oh?!"

Zhu Haomiao's eyelids twitched, pointing below.

"Let me see?"

"As you command!"

Yan Yunsheng leaped down without hesitation, charging into the sparring crowd with a whistling momentum.

"The Great Captain is bullying us again, brothers, let's fight together!"

This incited public anger, and several arrest officers practicing the entry-level Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique formed a formation, surrounding Yan Yunsheng.

Clang clang~

The practice weapons, not yet bladed, struck his body with a metallic ring, the slight pain stimulating his nerves like an adrenaline rush. Yan Yunsheng's eyes glowed red as he laughed wildly, increasingly enjoying the thrill of combat.

Outside the arena, Zhu Haomiao, who had been leaning casually on one hand, brightened his gaze and slowly sat up straight.

Leaping improvement after recovering from severe injuries...

Is this Super Recovery?!

Moreover, in the Spiritual Vision that others couldn't observe, Zhu Haomiao saw a faint blood-red aura rising around Yan Yunsheng, with tiny sanguine particles steaming like flames, astonishingly allowing him single-handedly to make several of his colleagues look inept.

Despite also cultivating the Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique, the gap between them hadn't narrowed at all but widened instead!

These arrest officers had been biding their time, using the Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique to break through the bottlenecks that had held them for years, advancing to the Eighth Rank!

The years of accumulated potential had quickly materialized; theoretically, the gap should have narrowed!
