Chapter 38 Codename Qinglong
"Yan Wuji, lives in East Street... Wang Daniu, lives in East Street..."

The man's voice trembled and he struggled hard, slowly revealing the names and origins of those people killed by Li Ji.

"Great! What's your name?"

Li Ji nodded slightly, his tone calm.

"My name is Xu Ruonan."

The person's face was covered with tears and his voice was trembling. Although she was wearing a black suit and her chest was not undulating, she was actually a girl.

"Well, from today on, you are the second in command of the Qinglong Prison. When I'm not around, you'll be the head of the police. Go and get me the roster!"

Li Ji said calmly.

"I obey my orders!"

Xu Ruonan stood up tremblingly, feeling fear and horror in her heart. Fortunately, she did not hide anything in what she just said, otherwise, once the roster was taken, it would be her death.

She was in mixed feelings, and ran into the house quickly as if she had survived a disaster, and took out a thick roster.

There are nearly a hundred constables' names on the roster.

Most of them were death row prisoners who were executed in the autumn, and only a small number were masters recruited from the underworld.

Li Ji quickly flipped through the list and found that nearly two-thirds of the names on the roster had been crossed out, indicating that they were dead.

This means that there are only 20 to 30 regular detectives in Qinglong Prison now, and with Li Ji just going on a killing spree, there are even fewer people.

Li Ji closed the roster and found that the people Xu Ruonan had just mentioned were all recorded. The murderous intent in his eyes then faded a little.

"Xu Ruonan!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Xu Ruonan quickly clasped her hands together.

"When you come out to do something, you must keep your word. I said that if their entire family is killed, then their entire family will be killed. This time, you will lead the team. I hope to hear the news that this matter is over before noon. Do you understand?"

Li Ji looked up at the sky and said casually.

Xu Ruonan's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his eyes, bowed his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "I obey your command."

Everyone was swallowing their saliva in nervousness and fear. Li Ji's cruel methods made everyone's scalp tingle and their hair stand on end.

They asked themselves, they were definitely not good people and killing people was a common occurrence, but they had never met a man like Li Ji who kept his word and kept his word.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

Lu Donglai, who was standing by, was already so frightened that he wanted to escape from here.

I had thought that this nephew was young and inexperienced in the ways of the world, but who would have thought that he had such a strong murderous intent.

The other party directly turned the tactic of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys into a tactic of "those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish". The Qinglong torture chamber, which was formed by court thugs and martial arts masters, actually succumbed to Li Ji's brutal means.

Lu Donglai was completely panicked and wanted to escape.

All the things about Gou Ba Tui's exploitation and his flattery as a virtuous nephew and uncle were torn to pieces at this moment.

At this moment, he just wanted to stay away from Li Ji and cut off this favorable relationship as much as possible, for fear that the other party would turn against him in the next second.

"Uncle Lu, everything is fine here for now. If you are busy, you can go back first."

Li Ji spoke slowly.

"Well, I was worried that you might be feeling unwell. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

Lu Donglai sighed.

He immediately left the courtyard with a look of emotion, and then in a corner where Li Ji and others could not see, his face suddenly changed and he ran away.

……

East Street.

Dressed in black, with his hand on a sword at his waist, Xu Ruonan looked heroic. Looking at the bustling streets, he felt as if he were in another world.

Twenty detectives followed behind him in silence, their faces showing signs of struggle, sweat dripping down their backs and wetting their clothes, feeling very aggrieved.

"Ruonan, do we really want to listen to that killer and kill Yan Wuji and his entire family?"

Suddenly, someone couldn't stand the pressure anymore and asked. The other detectives all put their hands on their swords, their eyes were also depressed and aggrieved, and they all looked up at Xu Ruonan in front of them.

"Do you think I want to? If we don't listen to him, after noon, we will be the ones to die, and our entire family will be wiped out!"

Xu Ruonan had a bitter look on her face and spoke out in frustration.

"You have all seen his strength. I'm afraid that in the entire Demon Suppression Division, except for the Demon Suppression Division Master, no one can fight against him."

All the detectives were silent.

Yes, what else can we do if we don’t listen to Li Ji?

Do they have the courage to resist? Not at all! Do they dare to quit the Demon Suppression Division? Not at all! Once you join the Demon Suppression Division, you are a member of the Demon Suppression Division in life and a ghost of the Demon Suppression Division in death. This is not just talk.

All they can do is... obey orders!
"But don't worry. This man has become the head of the Qinglong Constable. Next, he will definitely investigate the Lingjiang Ancient Tomb case. The stronger he is, the easier it is for those demons to target him. Then, we can just act as usual. We can avoid being killed and eliminate him with the help of the demons. Why not do it?"

Xu Ruonan's eyes were gloomy and he let out a breath of foul air.

The detectives following him nodded slowly, the frustration in their hearts eased a little, and they were ready to fight again.

She then took a deep breath.

"Let's go! Let's go to Yan Wuji's house first!"

……

noon.

The lobby of the torture chamber.

Li Ji sat down quietly.

His thick long black hair was all pulled back into a black gauze hat. He wore a green official uniform embroidered with a large golden dragon. A green dragon bronze plate hung on his black jade belt, which complemented the bronze knife.

The overall temperament is noble and elegant, handsome and extraordinary.

"No wonder so many people want to become a famous detective in the Demon Suppression Division. The official rank is actually the seventh rank, the same level as the Wuling County Magistrate."

Li Ji tapped the blue dragon bronze plate hanging around his waist with his fingertips casually, as if thinking about something, and suddenly he realized something.

The scale of Wuling County Yamen and the Demon Suppression Bureau is completely different. The former is located in a deserted area, while the latter is built in a bustling square.

He originally thought that the Demon Suppression Bureau was built with donations from wealthy gentry for the safety of their families, but who would have thought that the results would be slightly different.

Just as Li Ji's thoughts were drifting, a heroic voice came.

"Sir, I am here to report back!"

Then Xu Ruonan, wearing black clothes stained with blood, pushed the door open and walked in.

The twenty detectives following behind him, each holding a black package that was still dripping with blood, knelt on the ground in unison.

"Thank you for your help!"

Li Ji didn't even look at the black packages dripping with blood, and said calmly: "From now on, you and I are family, and no one else has the right to deal with you. Whoever dares to deal with you will be against me, Li Ji, including the civil and military judges and the head of the Demon Suppression Division. How about it, are you willing?"

"I am willing to die for you, sir!"

Xu Ruonan and many other detectives said in unison.

"Well, you guys go down first, Xu Ruonan stays."

Li Ji said lightly.

The other constables immediately retreated with the bloody black packages, but Xu Ruonan's expression changed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"I heard that there are many martial arts secret manuals in the Demon Suppression Division. I wonder where they are kept?"

Li Ji went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

When Xu Ruonan heard this, she bowed and replied without hesitation.

"My Lord, the martial arts secrets are all in the 'Ascension Tower'. It contains everything, including swords, spears, swords, and halberds, and even rare internal skills that are rarely seen in the outside world. It costs a lot of contribution points to exchange for entry and exit, but if you want to go in, it's naturally not that troublesome."

"Generally speaking, the four chief constables can enter the library once a month for free and read all the martial arts secrets on the first floor for free."
