Black Book

Chapter 293: Surviving the Dormant Period

Looking at Yan Yunsheng's stunned expression, Zhu Haomiao clearly felt that he had misunderstood something, but he was too lazy to explain and waved his hands.

"Drink the Qilin Soup while it's hot. It will greatly replenish your blood. I'm going to go out and inspect it."

Seeing the young man running away, Yan Yunsheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him.

"Sir, this month's salary has been distributed, as well as the reward for the three prison breakers..."

Noticing that Yan Yunsheng seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhu Haomiao paused and narrowed his eyes.

"You haven't been deducted, have you?"

"No, the full amount will be paid, but I am a little undecided about how to distribute the reward money. I would like to ask for your advice, sir."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Zhu Haomiao said decisively: "Each family of the brothers who died during the arrest will receive another 100 taels. I will take half of the remaining money, and the remaining half will be distributed to the other personnel involved in the operation."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yunsheng, who was well prepared, quickly took out a stack of silver bills from the drawer, counted them carefully, and handed part of them to Zhu Haomiao.

"My lord, please keep it."

"Ah."

Taking the thick stack of banknotes, Zhu Haomiao's eyes sparkled with heat. Suddenly, he had an idea and said excitedly.

"Go get the [Marine Arrest Document]!"

Why did I ignore these wild leeks?

Zhu Haomiao couldn't help feeling anxious when he thought about the empty leek fields in the dungeon.

He hasn't taken advantage of anyone for a long time!
I really want to buy something!
"Respect!"

Yan Yunsheng carried out the order without hesitation.

But when he came out holding several volumes thicker than the Cihai, Zhu Haomiao couldn't hold it anymore.

"All of these?!"

"Yes, these are the fugitives who have not been arrested in the last 20 years."

After placing the document that was taller than a person in front of Zhu Haomiao, Yan Yunsheng took out a thin booklet.

"These are wanted posters for crimes committed in the imperial capital in recent months. Based on my experience, you can just focus on these people."

“Unless the previous fugitives commit crimes again, there is almost no chance of solving the case.”

Zhu Haomiao breathed a sigh of relief after taking the thin booklet, glanced through it, and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go out and take a look."

The main responsibility of the Anti-Theft Bureau is to patrol the market, suppress crime and maintain public order.

In comparison, the time spent sitting in the office is very small.

………………

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

Then, he deeply realized how difficult it was to find a deliberately disguised fugitive in ancient times when there was no Sky Eye system!

If he hadn't been following clues to the crime, he might not have come across a single criminal in a year just by patrolling every day!
After understanding this truth, Zhu Haomiao decisively shifted his target, gave up the leeks in the dark, and turned his attention to those "heroes" in the open.

As the saying goes, there are many turtles in shallow water, and big brothers are everywhere!
There are 108 markets in the entire imperial capital, and Lechang Market is just a lower-middle-class market with a population of only to people.

In such a small place the size of a palm, there are more than a dozen gangs of all sizes.

These cancers secretly exploit the people and do all kinds of bad things, but they also have huge industries and cannot escape even if they want to!
"Sir, are you really going to take action against the local gangs?"

Next to the martial arts arena, Zhu Haomiao sat on the throne, watching a group of his subordinates fighting enthusiastically below the stage, and nodded nonchalantly.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng, who was standing respectfully beside him, showed worry. It was easy to destroy the gang, but the complex protective umbrella behind it was the key.

There may be several big Buddhas standing behind every gang. If you destroy their gloves, they may not say anything openly, but they will hate you secretly!
More importantly, judging from Li Lin’s tone, he doesn’t seem to be targeting any particular gang, but rather wants to eradicate the entire underground forces in Lechangfang!

This is really angering the public!

Noticing Yan Yunsheng's hesitation and worry, Zhu Haomiao looked down at the fight on the stage and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, I'm almost through the dormant period, and I don't have to be restrained anymore."

After saying that, Zhu Haomiao clenched his fists, feeling the surging power that was about to burst out from deep within his soul and flesh as he transformed to the extreme. He chuckled and turned to look at Yan Yunsheng, who had a bewildered look on his face.

"Besides, it's only natural for a constable to catch a thief, isn't it?"

His whole body trembled. Although the young man was clearly talking to him, Yan Yunsheng felt that his gaze penetrated him and looked at the vast world.

In a trance, he seemed to be conversing with the heaven and earth, and there seemed to be indescribable meaning hidden in his words.

Dormant period?
Tethered?

What does it mean?
Although he couldn't figure it out, Yan Yunsheng realized that the young man had made up his mind. He shook his head, put aside all doubts in his heart, and clasped his fists firmly with cold eyes.

"Sir, wherever you point, I will go!"

"Haha, there's no need to be so murderous. I'm a kind-hearted person. I hate bloodshed the most and won't commit murder."

"........."

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

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

"How are your injuries?"

"Thanks to you, sir, I have a bowl of [Qilin Soup] every day, and now I am fully recovered."

Speaking of himself, Yan Yunsheng reported excitedly.

"Not only that, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and my strength increased greatly!"

"oh?!"

Zhu Haomiao's eyelids twitched and he pointed to the stage below.

"let me see?"

"Respect!"

Yan Yunsheng jumped down without hesitation and rushed into the sparring group with a roaring momentum.

"The big boss is here to bully us again, brothers, fight together!"

This aroused public anger. Several constables who had just started practicing the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] formed a large formation and surrounded Yan Yunsheng.

Ping pong~
The unsharpened weapons used for practice hit his body with a crisp sound of metal clashing. The slight pain stimulated his nerves like a stimulant. Yan Yunsheng's eyes glowed red and he laughed wildly with excitement. He liked the feeling of fighting more and more.

Outside the court, Zhu Haomiao, who had been nonchalantly supporting his chin with one hand, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes and slowly sat up straight.

After recovering from a serious injury, he made a leap forward...

This is [Extra Recovery]? !

Not only that, in the spiritual vision that others could not observe, Zhu Haomiao saw a faint blood-red mist rising from Yan Yunsheng's body, and tiny blood-colored particles were steaming like flames. He actually beat several of his colleagues into a miserable state with his own strength.

Although they both practiced the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique], the gap between them not only did not narrow, but widened!

You know, these constables have accumulated a lot of experience and used the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] to break through the bottleneck that has stuck them for many years and were promoted to the eighth rank!

The potential accumulated over the years is quickly being realized. In theory, the gap should be narrowed!
