In the early morning, the hazy fog has just dispersed.

Xuantian Pavilion, Prison Gate.

The huge gate slowly opened, and the heavy iron chain weighed a hundred thousand kilograms and was made of Beihai Xuanjin.

This chain connects the eight prison gates, where tens of thousands of demons and ghosts are imprisoned.

"I heard that the new leader has been promoted again, Hongmen Governor... This is a real shortage. He controls a hundred or ten people, with an official ranking up to the tenth level."

"What? This is too outrageous, isn't he just starting out? According to the rules, one cannot be promoted within one year."

"Who knows? Maybe there is someone above him, otherwise how could he be the leader of this new list in the first place?"

On the huge grassland, a group of guards were chatting.

Every morning before dawn, they would prepare the fine ingredients for feeding the demons. This kind of stuff would require adding hundreds of poisonous medicines and mixing them together.

After those demons and ghosts took the food, the demonic energy in their bodies grew but could not be driven, just like raising pigs.

However, preparing such fine materials and being exposed to toxic drugs all year round, especially absorbing volatile gases, is very bad for the body.

Therefore, the hayyard errands are considered the dirtiest, most tiring, and most painful jobs in [Prison Gate].

As time goes by, the hearts of these officers will inevitably become unbalanced. What they like most is to gossip and arrange for those disciples who are doing better.

For example, if a senior sister from Lingmen makes any great invention, there is a high probability that she was slept with by some big shot.

Or if any junior fellow student in Wumen has been promoted, it must be because his family has taken a back door and given gifts to his superiors.

This new leader has already become the [Titong Dusi] when he first entered the ranks. He has already broken the rules when he reaches the twelfth rank.

You must know that any disciple of the Xuantian Pavilion, no matter who he is, cannot be awarded an official position of twelfth grade or above within three years of joining.

Now, only two months after entering Hongmen, this new leader has been promoted two levels in a row, obtained the position of military governor, and reached the tenth rank.

If there wasn't some dirty deeds in this, even the monsters wouldn't believe it.

"According to reliable sources, the new leader is actually the illegitimate son of the head of the Hongmen clan. He paved the way and introduced him to the family with good intentions."

"Don't talk nonsense. I have conclusive evidence. This new leader is actually the illegitimate son of Prince Zhennan, which is why he has such a prosperous official career."

"Prince Zhennan? Wait, they seem to be about the same age."

"When Prince Zhennan was five years old, he was confused for a moment and created this evil species..."

A group of police officers, in a state of excitement, had completely confirmed Li Mo's life experience, and they were just waiting to spread the news throughout the capital.

"Shang Xujian, I remember that you and the newly promoted Lord Governor come from the same place."

At this moment, a scar-faced man suddenly put down the barrel in his hand and looked at Shangxu Sword who was carrying the [Poison Sac Grass] not far away. Although the dark poison was blocked by the veil, there was still a little penetration.

, making the net rusty even to death.

Shang Xujian unloaded the heavy cargo without saying a word.

It is true that both he and Li Mo came from Longyuan Mansion. However, even with Li Mo's status at that time, he could only choose one person among the newcomers to join his army.

In comparison, Hong Xiaofu and Li Mo, who came from Luofu Mountain together, are naturally closer.

As the saying goes, there is a difference between closeness and distance. In the end, Shang Xujian could only be assigned to the prison gate, doing the hardest job.

Compared with the tenth-level official position of Li Mo [Hongmen Governor], these servants are at the lowest level.

"How can a high-ranking family have a relationship with a poor person? If such a person soars into the sky, he will naturally not remember us little characters."

Scarface walked over. Although he looked fierce, he saw the truth and put his hand on Shang Xujian's shoulder.

"If you have wine today, you will get drunk today... Don't say that brother doesn't watch over you... A new bathhouse has opened on Lintang Street..."

Scarface leaned close to Shang Xujian's ear and whispered: "If you tell me your name, you can experience their needle grinding service and get a 10% discount."

"Grinding needles?" Shang Xujian was stunned.

"I spent two hours grinding there yesterday to finish it..."

"Although it's not as good as the flower boats on the Gilded River, it's still cheap." Scarface said with a smile.

"Brother Scar... you... are so durable." Shang Xujian curled his lips, really not knowing what to say.

"Tsk tsk...this is all done through practice. We have ancestral soup in our family...let your sister-in-law cook you two bowls later."

Scar's arm rested on the Shangxu Sword.

"If you have a chance to come to my house for soup, it would be best in the evening so that your sister-in-law can prepare it for you."

"Huh!?" Shang Xujian felt even more weird when he heard the meaning of his words.

"If you like, you can sleep at my house at night, as long as you pay."

Scar raised his hand and said, "Of course, if you are not used to being alone..."

"Just have a chat with your sister-in-law..."

Shang Xujian's eyes widened with shock, but he was already thinking about Scar and enjoying it, and there was a hint of excitement on his ferocious face.

This was the first time that Shang Xujian had to sigh...

Brother, please accept my respect. You are the most handsome man since you are green.

"Brother, don't feel awkward...the joy of life lies in understanding..."

Scar looked at Shang Xujian with a face that had never seen the world, and couldn't help but chuckled: "Women, that's what happens."

"Everyone wants to be a talented and beautiful woman, and they want to be the wife of a fairy..."

Scar sneered: "These worldly idiots think that the fairy is in the human world, but they don't know that the fairy is actually in the private room..."

"You have to be rich."

"Brother Scar is really transparent." Shang Xujian couldn't help but say.

"Hey, after you save enough money, come to my house for soup."

As he spoke, Scar patted Shang Xujian's shoulder encouragingly.

"Shangxu Sword..."

At this moment, a cold sound echoed across the grassland.

Scar looked up and saw a young man wearing a Jinyu official uniform coming over in command.

"Brother, please wish yourself well." Scar's face trembled slightly, he reminded him in a low voice, then turned and left.

Qiu Baichi, the leader responsible for managing this grassland, has a cultivation level in the Chumiao realm, and his official position is ranked thirteenth.

It has been six years since he entered Xuantian Pavilion, and he has just gotten to where he is today.

Compared to Li Mo who came from behind, Qiu Baichi looked down on this kind of promotion that did not follow the rules, and was full of disdain and hatred in his bones.

Therefore, as a fellow villager of Li Mo, Shang Xujian was tortured a lot.

"A new batch of corpses have arrived. We don't have enough manpower. Go and help." Qiu Baichi glanced sideways and said calmly.

"Carry a corpse!?"

All the officers glanced at each other and looked at Shang Xujian with some sympathy.

This is a more difficult task than preparing fine materials.

In the capital, the bodies of all demons and monks are sent to the prison gate for unified processing.

This is no ordinary corpse. Some of it has a smell that won't dissipate for half a month. Everyone is afraid to avoid it if they see it.

Not to mention, the bodies of some demons and ghosts are abnormal and there is some danger hidden in them if they are not preserved.

Scar once carried a body on his back, but was exploded by a hedgehog monster and injured his face. Later, it was his wife who had many connections to send him over to prepare the details.

"Sir, my work is not finished yet." Shang Xujian said respectfully.

He knows very well that in this environment, if you want to survive, you need to keep your tail between your legs.

"Go if you are told. Where did all this nonsense come from?" Qiu Baichi glanced at him and shouted coldly.

"Then can you wait until I finish the work here?" Shang Xujian begged.

According to the establishment, he belongs to the detailed materials class, and he carries a quota on his body. There is a daily quota for preparing detailed materials. If he cannot complete it by the end of the month, he will be punished. If it goes on for a long time, there is even a risk of being expelled.

Snap...

Suddenly, a clear slap sounded suddenly.

Shang Xujian took two steps back, and a bright red slap mark appeared on his cheek.

"Others have a backing, do you also have one? Dare you bargain with me? Who do you think you are?" Qiu Baichi said coldly.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this. It was obvious that the steward had felt unbalanced after hearing the news about Li Mo's promotion, and came here to vent on purpose.

Come to think of it, Li Mo was promoted two levels in a row within two months of starting his career, directly reaching the tenth-class official position.

Qiu Baichi has been around for six years and has only seen the 13th grade.

"you……"

Shang Xujian covered his face, his eyes filled with shame and anger.
