The Chief of Prisons is ranked fifth among the eighteen official positions in Xuantian Pavilion.

A month after Li Mo came back, he finally took office, which was considered his true return to the capital.

Of course, the main purpose of his return this time is not to get promoted and make a fortune.

"Old Feng should be coming out soon... I want to ask where Lao Jiguan is."

Li Mo handed over this most important task to Chen Wangdu.

At the beginning, he was demoted out of the capital in disgrace. Both Master Ji and Feng Wannian took the blame for him, especially Master Ji. Even as the prince of Zhennan, he was bound to be imprisoned and could not escape.

As a [Xuanmen Sword Type], Feng Wannian was even imprisoned in the North Pole Tower and imprisoned. His power plummeted, otherwise how could Su Mingyuan have taken advantage of the opportunity to rise.

"Sir, I have sorted out the roster in the prison these days."

On this day, Li Mo went to prison for inspection, and Chen Tiejia followed closely and presented the roster in his hand.

Ever since he followed Li Mo into the Xuantian Pavilion headquarters, things have been going up and up, and now he has become a criminal and prison chief, reaching the tenth rank. Compared with when he was in Qingchan City, his career has been on the same level, and his official career is prosperous.

"So many people..."

Li Mo looked at the thick stack of rosters, glanced at them, and estimated that there were nearly ten thousand people, divided into monks and demons.

This simply subverted Li Mo's stereotype of Hongmen.

Although Hongmen is responsible for the investigation, round-up and arrests, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a sewage yamen. Every year, the court spends huge sums of money on Hongmen. However, after so many years of suppressing bandits, the suppression becomes more and more fat.

There is no sign of destruction at all.

Some people say that Hongmen's self-respect for raising bandits is the most unwilling thing in the world to see the destruction of Guixu.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hongmen has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and Guixu has almost become their food and clothing parents.

There are even rumors outside that some Hongmen disciples privately worship the Guixu memorial tablet, burn incense day and night, and pray to God to protect Guixu for generations to prosper. The incense continues. It is simply outrageous to open the door to the gate. It is outrageous.

"What does the list on the red page mean?"

Li Mo opened the roster and found that one part was different. The pages were all red, and the names on it were written in white ink and circled with black pen.

"These people are all suspected to be related to Guixu. Whether they are black or white is ambiguous. Their guilt or innocence requires further investigation and research..."

At this point, Chen Tiejia came up to Li Mo and lowered his voice and said: "To put it bluntly, I just rely on your words..."

"This... we can't let a bad person go, but we can't wrongly accuse a good person either..." Li Mo said thoughtfully.

"Your Excellency, many people have expressed their determination to be good people..."

As he spoke, Chen Wangdu took out another book of details. Li Mo just glanced at the numbers on it and his eyes trembled unconsciously.

He didn't expect that these people's determination would be so firm.

"Then you have to investigate carefully and don't accuse me wrongly." Li Mo reminded.

"It's natural..."

Chen Tiejia nodded and said, "I heard that my predecessor took people's money but didn't do anything for them..."

"It simply ruins the good reputation of our corrupt officials!"

At this point, Li Mo stopped suddenly and took a deep look at Chen Tiejia.

"Xiao Chen, what I said today is a bit confidential."

Chen Tiejia's face trembled, and he immediately let out an embarrassed laugh. He was indeed a little carried away.

"Your Majesty, this is your lesson... I just hate these corrupt officials. I heard that there are some people who neither take benefits nor do anything, and just goof around every day..."

"This is lazy politics."

Li Mo said in a deep voice: "Don't help others save money when they should be spending money. How can you ignore it!?"

"Looking back, I will definitely pass on your spirit, organize manpower to study and study, and conscientiously implement your requirements for Hongmen Prison..."

Chen Tiejia took out the banknotes and recorded them carefully.

"Xiao Chen, I can rest assured that you will do things." Li Mo nodded, showing a satisfied look.

"Sir, there are nine levels of Hongmen Prison, and this list only contains the first six levels..."

Chen Tiejia's eyes were downcast and he spoke softly. The expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the dark prison.

"I see."

Li Mo nodded. According to the rules, in the last three levels of prisons, only the sect leader Gu Pingfan, the deputy sect leader Fu Qing, and him, the chief prison officer, could enter and exit at will.

As for the last level, even Li Mo doesn't have the authority to open it now.

"I'll go in and take a look around, you go and do your work first." Li Mo said casually.

"Sir, the Hongmen Prison is full of extremely vicious people. Do you want to be alone..." Chen Tiejia said with some worry.

"No need."

With a whisper, Li Mo stepped into the depths of the prison.

Chen Tiejia looked at Li Mo's disappearing figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the casualness on his face disappeared.

Rumble...

The heavy gate slowly opened, accompanied by a loud "rumbling" sound, and a mixed and strong smell came from the depths of the prison, filled with a faint smell of blood.

As the Director-General of Criminal Prisons, Li Mo naturally reached the sixth floor without anyone stopping him along the way.

This is also a place that is difficult for ordinary people to access.

"Why did Souji-sama go to the sixth floor alone?"

"Nonsense, he is the chief executive, and he has to explain to you where he wants to go? Stop asking, I heard that our new chief executive is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones."

"I've heard about it too... He was the one responsible for the "monster-burning and ghost-eating case" in Nancheng last year..."

"Shh... we don't know anything."

In the corner, two faint voices talked to each other, and soon fell silent.

"A big monster? The people imprisoned here are indeed extremely vicious people."

Li Mo came to the sixth floor of the prison and walked to a cage made of black copper, which was engraved with dense runes and contained the majestic evil spirit.

"The golden-tongued man!?"

Li Mo glanced at it and saw that the prisoner's information was recorded on the cell card.

Buzz…

A dim golden light glowed faintly in the cage, and a golden snake emerged. It was full of demonic aura, boiling like a noise, and its cold eyes stared at Li Mo, exuding a fierce luster.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This monster comes from Guixu [Demon City], was captured by Hongmen masters, and has been imprisoned here for three years.

"Thunder and Lightning Golden Snake!"

Li Mo could tell the bloodline origin of this big snake at a glance.

This is an extremely rare demon ghost that feeds on thunder and lightning to temper its demonic energy. Once it transforms into a demon, its strength is terrifying and profound, especially its tongue. Almost all of its cultivation lies on that tongue...

The swallowing and vomiting is as fast as lightning, especially accompanied by the power of thunder. If ordinary people encounter it, they will feel numb all over the body in an instant, as if they have ascended to heaven.

One can imagine the terror of such monsters.

In the early years, this kind of monster was most valued by Taoist female monks. They searched the mountains and rivers and arrested them constantly, and almost all of them were caught and exterminated.

Once these [Thunder and Lightning Golden Snakes] fall into the hands of those Taoist female cultivators, their fate will be extremely miserable.

Therefore, nowadays, it is difficult to see such demons and ghosts, let alone those who have cultivated to the Great Demon Realm and are equivalent to human [True Breath] masters.

"I heard that the scales of this kind of demon are quite useful..."

Li Mo whispered that in his early years when he was in Qingping Mountain, he had heard that if a man took the scales of the thunder and lightning golden snake, he could strengthen his body and strengthen his tongue, so it was also called "golden tongue tablets". Taking it day and night, he could even strengthen his tongue with just one minute.

Two, it’s quite magical.

In the black market, a "gold tongue piece" can often be sold for a high price. It is especially said that the eunuchs in Ouchi like this thing the most.

"It's interesting... this prison is also a natural treasure house."

Li Mo walked around casually and came directly to the seventh floor.

The prisoners here were more terrifying than those on the sixth floor. As soon as he set foot, Li Mo was firmly locked by a powerful evil spirit.

"Um!?"

Li Mo looked up and saw that in the cage closest to him, there was a lion imprisoned, with three heads on its neck.

"Three lions!?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment. This bloodline was extremely rare, and it was considered a close relative to the [Nine-Headed Spirit Lion] lineage that Shi Shibai belonged to.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the Lion Demon?"

At this moment, the three lions roared loudly, pulling Li Mo back from his thoughts.

The three-headed lion demon's mane stood up, its eyes were like lightning, and it was extremely fierce. It was obvious that Li Mo was not in his eyes.

"How many mothers are so crazy?"
