My Endless Life.

Chapter 201 Second Identity
The internal structure of the six-door is relatively simple.

The highest official position is the gate master, and the official rank is the second grade.

Below are the Four Famous Detectives, whose official ranks range from the third rank to the third rank.

Next is the golden medal captain, whose official rank ranges from the fourth to the fifth rank.

The silver medal captains are from the sixth rank to the minor sixth rank.

The bronze captain of the police is naturally from the seventh rank to the junior seventh rank. For example, Jiang Ming is a junior seventh rank official.

Most of the other small detectives have no rank, that is, the detectives within the Six Gates Headquarters mostly hold the eighth rank.

Looking at it this way, the above grades seem to be missing something.

Yes, there is also an official position of the fifth rank that has not been mentioned.

That is the patrol envoy.

The Patrol Envoy is the regulatory agency within the Six Gates. His main task is to patrol various places and investigate the working conditions of the local Six Gates and the specific power structure of the local martial arts world in various identities.

Although there are not many patrol envoys, it is a position that everyone in the Six Gates is afraid of.

Because it is said that once you are targeted by the patrol officer, even if you are a top detective, you are at risk of being dismissed and imprisoned!

Although the patrol envoys may not be as high-ranking as the gold medalists in terms of official positions, they possess special privileges appointed by the sect leader. Ordinary Six Gates constables dare not show off in front of them.

And it is precisely because of the special nature of the patrol envoy that Jiang Ming's expression became so ugly.

The patrol officer usually won't show up in front of the head of the police. Once he shows up, it either means that he has already locked up some "evidence" of the head of the police, or it means that a major incident has occurred in the local area that only the patrol officer can deal with...

Wait... Is this inspector here for me or for the important event in Linbian Town?

Jiang Ming was feeling uneasy. He felt that the silver in his arms was so hot that he wanted to throw it away.

But now the patrol envoy is in the house. It is said that most of the patrol envoys are innate masters, or have some magical means. God knows whether he can see the situation outside.

Silver cannot be thrown away, it can only be hidden.

The patrol envoy was in the room, and Jiang Ming had to go and see him.

In this case, he had no choice but to move forward.

creak-

Pushing open the door, Jiang Ming immediately saw the patrol envoy sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

He was dressed in black and had a tough face. There was a scar on his face that ran from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. There was some fine stubble on his chin, and he looked to be in his thirties.

On the right side of his waist was a patrol envoy's identity token, and on the left side of his waist was a straight knife. His whole body exuded a bloodthirsty smell.

The moment he saw him, Jiang Ming's heart trembled.

The first thought that came to my mind was that this person had served in the military!
Jiang Ming had only seen this posture, this murderous aura, and the look in his eyes that regarded human life as prey in the border army, and only in high-ranking generals!

Anyone who could fight in the army and become a patrol envoy is definitely not someone easy to deal with.

Feeling anxious, Jiang Ming immediately clasped his fists and saluted:

"I am Jiang Ming, the Bronze Constable of Linbian City, and I am here to see the Inspector General!"

"Master Jiang, you are so cool."

Jiang Ming had just finished speaking when he heard the patrol envoy in front of him say something with a smile.

Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his head and looked at the patrol envoy who seemed to be smiling but actually had no emotion in his eyes. His heart trembled again.

"My Lord...what do you mean by that?"

"The silver is quite heavy, my bag can hardly hold it."

Pfft!
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ming immediately knelt down in front of the other party, quickly and decisively took out the bag of silver, and presented it to the patrol envoy in front of him with both hands.

He loudly said:

"Your Excellency, please understand! I am only trying to please Liu Zhi in order to keep them stable for the time being. I have absolutely no intention of accepting bribes! Your Excellency, please understand!!"

"Alright, alright."

The patrol officer waved his hand impatiently without even looking at the bag of money in his hand.

Then the patrol envoy said, "I don't care how much money you charge. I'm not here to cause trouble for you."

Hearing what the patrol envoy said, Jiang Ming felt relieved. He raised his head cautiously and asked:
"The purpose of your coming here is—"

"I heard that a monster appeared in Linbian Town?"

The patrol envoy said this while picking up the file beside him. It was a comprehensive report on the Feisha Gang massacre that Jiang Ming had compiled last night.

Because it was recorded yesterday, what happened today is not yet written on it.

However, the bat monster and the situation of the Li family were also mentioned.

Seeing that the patrol envoy's target was the monster here, Jiang Ming's heart was completely put back into his stomach. He quickly stood up and reported to the patrol envoy:

"Reporting to the Lord, it is true, but... this is just the one-sided statement of the young hero of the Li family. We have never seen the body of the bat demon."

"It says here that the bat demon died by self-explosion?"

The inspector pointed to a paragraph in the case file and asked Jiang Ming again.

Jiang Ming nodded: "That's what Young Master Li said."

"Whatever he says is what it is? You have no brains!"

The patrol officer raised his hand and poked Jiang Ming's forehead in annoyance.

Jiang Ming forced a smile on his face but was secretly complaining in his heart.

Behind that young hero of the Li family is the Qiqiao Villa. As a patrol envoy, you have the support of the sect leader and the divine detective, so you don't have to be afraid. But how can I, a mere bronze detective, afford to offend you?

Although Jiang Ming complained in his heart, he said with a bitter face: "I was thinking that the young man from the Li family is a young hero with a good reputation in the martial arts world, so he should not lie..."

"Should? As a detective, do you have to rely on 'should' to investigate a case?"

“…I admit my mistake!”

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

The patrol officer did not dwell on Jiang Ming's mistakes anymore. He looked at the file again. After reading it silently, he said:

"I heard that two more constables died this morning? Did you go to the county magistrate to ask for the bodies? Where are the bodies?"

"The body... was not brought back. The county magistrate wanted to suppress the matter..."

Jiang Ming stammered.

Then he heard the patrol envoy sneer:
"Oh, seeing that they are about to be promoted, they are thinking of making a big deal out of a small matter. These civil servants... humph!"

After hearing what he said, Jiang Ming became more certain of his guess.

The man in front of him was indeed a military general, otherwise he would not have such a strong hostility towards civil officials.

Jiang Ming stood aside with his head lowered, not daring to answer.

The patrol envoy slammed his identity token on the table and said:
"Take it and go find the county magistrate and tell him that I want the body. See if he will give it to me."

"Um... sir, is this... okay?"

"What's wrong with that? Or do you not dare?"

The patrol envoy glanced at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming immediately picked up the token and saluted, saying, "... In that case, I will go and get it. Um... I don't even know your name..."

"Hmph, tell the county magistrate that my surname is Li and my given name is 'Zhen'. Tell him to hand the body over to me immediately, or I will report him to the sect leader!"

The patrol envoy snorted coldly.

Although the Six Gates do not interfere in the affairs of the court, it depends on who intervenes.

If he was the current leader of the Six Gates, that important official of the second rank, even if he just mentioned it casually, it would be a matter of great importance to the minor officials below!
If this Inspector Li Zhen really tries to persuade the leader of the Six Gates, and the leader of the Six Gates remembers the name of the county magistrate, then the county magistrate's official career will probably be over.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ming felt a little gloating.

……

Watching Jiang Ming leave with the token, Li Qi stroked the fake beard on his chin and laughed to himself.

That’s right, ‘Patrol Envoy Li Zhen’ is Li Qi, one of the ‘Twin Heroes of the Li Family’.

Through the ability to change his appearance and the first stage of his Immortality Sutra, Li Qi is able to make the fake look real.

And even though the appearance and name are fake, the identity and token are truly real.

Li Qizhen knew one of the Four Famous Detectives, and the token and official position of the patrol envoy were also given to him by that man.

Even if Jiang Ming went to the Six Gates headquarters to check his file, he could find it clearly, so it would not be considered as lying to Jiang Ming.

Only this appearance was a disguise created by Li Qi.

After all, given the feud between the people of the martial arts world and the imperial court, if people knew that Li Qi worked in the Six Gates, it would probably ruin the reputation of the Qiqiao Villa.

But then again, Li Qi never thought that the title of Patrol Envoy would be so useful.

It was also the first time that he used this identity in front of other constables. When Jiang Ming saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

But it’s better this way, at least this way, Jiang Ming won’t dare to fool Li Qi.

As for the county magistrate...

Let’s first see how the county magistrate reacts. If the county magistrate takes a tough stance, Li Qi can’t really use this identity to charge recklessly into the county government office.

After all, his status as a patrol envoy was not directly appointed by the court, but was appointed by Zhuifeng with his own authority. It would be okay under normal circumstances, but if things get out of hand, I'm afraid Zhuifeng, the head of the police force, would be implicated.

"I hope the county magistrate will understand. Otherwise... I'm afraid I'll have to resort to other means."

With his left hand on the scabbard at his waist, Li Qi muttered to himself.

……

"Hey? Lord Jiang, why are you back again?"

When Liu Zhi learned that Jiang Ming had returned, he looked at Jiang Ming standing in front of him in surprise.

Jiang Ming coughed dryly, picked up the token and said righteously:
"I am here on the orders of the Patrol Envoy to retrieve the bodies of the two deceased constables...Master Liu, go and report it."

"…Patrol Envoy?"

Master Liu, who originally looked dissatisfied, had his pupils dilated a little when he heard this term.

He looked up at Jiang Ming, who nodded at him with a complicated look:
"It's the Patrol Envoy, Master Liu... Go back and report."

"I understand. Lord Jiang, please take a rest here. I will go and inform the county magistrate right away."

Seeing the token in Jiang Ming's hand, Liu Zhi didn't dare to say much.

Although he didn't know much about what was going on inside the Six Gates, he knew about the position of Patrol Envoy within the Six Gates.

Therefore, he was very clear that once the patrol envoy came forward, Jiang Ming would no longer have the final say in this matter.

No matter how much money he gave Jiang Ming, the other party would not dare to take it.

So all he could do now was to inform the county magistrate.

Let’s see how the county magistrate will handle this matter.

However, a higher-ranking official can crush a person, not to mention that the inspector general is more than one level higher than the county magistrate. I think the county magistrate should not be able to do anything about it.
