My Endless Life

The internal structure of the Six Gates is relatively simple.

The highest official position is the gate master, with an official rank of second rank.

Below are the four famous detectives, with official ranks ranging from third rank to third rank.

Next is the gold medal detective, with official ranks ranging from fourth rank to fifth rank.

The silver medal detective is from sixth rank to sixth rank.

The bronze medal detective is naturally from seventh rank to seventh rank, such as Jiang Ming, who is a seventh rank official.

Most of the other small detectives have no rank, that is, the detectives inside the Six Gates headquarters, most of whom have an eighth rank.

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

Yes, there is also a fifth rank official position that has not been mentioned.

That is the patrol envoy.

The patrol envoy is the regulatory agency within the Six Gates. Its main task is to patrol various places and investigate the work of the local Six Gates in various identities, as well as the specific power structure of the local martial arts.

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, even if you are a gold medal captain, you are at risk of being dismissed and imprisoned!

Although the patrol seems to be inferior to the gold medal in terms of official position, they have the privileges appointed by the master of the gate. Ordinary six-door captains dare not show off in front of them.

And it is precisely because of the special nature of the patrol that Jiang Ming's face becomes so ugly.

The patrol usually does not show up in front of the captain. Once he shows up, it either means that he has locked some "evidence" of the captain, or it means that there is a major event in the local area that only the patrol can deal with...

Wait... Is this patrol, sir, here for me, or for the major event of Linbian City?

With uneasiness in his heart, Jiang Ming felt that the silver in his arms was so hot that he wanted to throw it out directly.

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

Silver can't be thrown away, it can only be hidden.

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

So, he had no choice but to go forward.

Creak——

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

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

On his right waist was the identity token of the patrol envoy, and on his left waist was a straight knife. He exuded a bloodthirsty smell.

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

The first thought in his mind was that this person had been in the army!

This posture, this murderous aura, and the eyes that regarded human life as prey, Jiang Ming had only seen it in the army on the border, and only in the generals of higher ranks!

Someone who could fight in the army and become a patrol envoy was definitely not an easy existence to deal with.

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

"I am Jiang Ming, the copper catcher of Linbian City, and I pay my respects to the patrol envoy!"

"Sir Jiang, you are so cool."

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, he heard the patrol envoy in front of him say 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 in fact there was no emotion in his eyes, and his heart trembled again.

"Sir... what do you mean?"

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

Plop!

As soon as he said this, Jiang Ming immediately knelt down to 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 said loudly:

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

"That's enough."

The patrol officer waved his hand impatiently, not even looking at the money bag in his hand.

Then he heard the patrol officer say: "I don't care how much money you have received, I am not here to cause trouble for you."

Hearing the patrol officer say this, Jiang Ming's heart was half relieved. He raised his head carefully and asked:

"What is the purpose of your coming here-"

"I heard that there was a monster in Linbian City?"

The patrol officer said, picking up the file on the side. It was a comprehensive report on the case of the Feisha Gang's extermination compiled by Jiang Ming last night.

Because it was recorded yesterday, what happened today has not been written on it.

But it also mentioned the bat monster and the situation of the Li family.

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

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

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

The patrol envoy pointed to a paragraph written on the case file and asked Jiang Ming again.

Jiang Ming nodded: "That's what the young man Li said."

"Whatever he said is true? Brainless!"

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

Jiang Ming smiled on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.

The young man of the Li family has Qiqiao Villa behind him. As a patrol envoy, you have the support of the master and the divine detective behind you, so you don't have to be afraid, but how can I, a small copper detective, afford to offend him.

Although he complained in his heart, Jiang Ming said with a bitter face:

"I was thinking that the young man from the Li family was a young and famous man in the martial arts world, so he shouldn't lie..."

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

"...I know I was wrong!"

"Forget it, I don't want to blame you."

The patrol officer didn't hold on to Jiang Ming's mistakes. 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 bodies...were not available. The county magistrate meant to suppress the matter..."

Jiang Ming hesitated.

Then he heard the patrol officer sneer:

"Heh, seeing that promotion is imminent, they want to make a big deal out of a small matter. These civil servants... hum!"

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

The man in front of him was indeed a military general, otherwise he wouldn't have such a strong hostility towards civil servants.

Jiang Ming stood aside with his eyebrows lowered and did not dare to answer.

The patrol envoy slapped his identity token on the table and said:

"Take it and go to the county magistrate and tell him that I want the body. See if he will give it to you."

"Uh... Sir, is this... okay?"

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

The patrol envoy glanced at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming immediately picked up the token and saluted: "... In this case, I will go and ask for it. Uh... I don't know your name..."

"Humph, tell the county magistrate that my surname is Li and my given name is 'Zhen'. Ask him to hand over the body to me quickly, otherwise I will report him to the master!"

The patrol envoy snorted.

Although the Six Gates do not care about the affairs of the court, it depends on who is interfering.

If it is the current master of the Six Gates, the important official of the second rank in the court, even if he just mentioned it casually, it would be a matter of great importance to the lower officials!

If this Li Zhen patrol officer really whispered in the ear of the Six Gates leader, and the Six Gates leader remembered the name of the county magistrate, then the county magistrate's career would be over.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming was a little gloating.

…

Seeing Jiang Ming leave with the token, Li Qi touched the fake beard on his chin and laughed secretly.

That's right, 'Patrol Officer Li Zhen' is Li Qi among the 'Li's Twin Heroes'.

Through the ability to change his appearance, plus the first stage of his own Immortal Heart Sutra, Li Qi is enough to make the fake look real.

And although the appearance is fake, the name is fake, but this identity and token are really real.

Li Qi really knows one of the four famous detectives, and the patrol officer's token and official position were also handed over to him by that person.

Even if Jiang Ming went to the Six Gates headquarters to check his files, he could find it clearly, so it was not considered a lie to Jiang Ming.

Only this appearance was something Li Qi pretended to be.

After all, with the grudges between the Jianghu people and the court, if people knew that Li Qi was working in the Six Gates, it would probably ruin the reputation of Qiqiao Villa.

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

This was also the first time he used this identity in front of other police chiefs, but when Jiang Ming saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

But it was better this way, at least in this way, Jiang Ming would not dare to fool Li Qi.

As for the county magistrate...

Let's see how the county magistrate reacts first. If the county magistrate is tough, Li Qi can't really use this identity to rush around in the county government.

After all, his identity as a patrol envoy was not directly appointed by the court, but was appointed by Zhuifeng with his own authority. It's okay at ordinary times, but if things get out of hand, Zhuifeng will probably be implicated.

"I hope this county magistrate knows what's good for him, otherwise... I'm afraid I'll have to use other means."

Putting his left hand on the scabbard at his waist, Li Qi said to himself.

…

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

Liu Zhi, who learned that Jiang Ming had returned, 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 to take the bodies of the two deceased constables under the order of the patrol envoy...Master Liu, go and report it."

"...Patrol envoy?"

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

He looked up at Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming nodded to him with a complicated look:

"It is the patrol envoy, Master Liu...go back and report it."

"I know, Lord Jiang, please take a rest here, I will report it to the county magistrate."

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

Although he did not know much about the internal affairs of the Six Gates, he also knew the position of the patrol envoy within the Six Gates.

Therefore, he knew very well that once the patrol officer came forward, Jiang Ming would have no say in this matter.

Even if he gave Jiang Ming more money, the other party would not dare to take it.

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

See how the county magistrate would deal with this matter.

However, a higher official can crush a person, not to mention that the patrol officer is more than one level higher than the county magistrate, so the county magistrate should not be able to do anything.
