Ch 6: Azure Dragon Envoy, Meng Wangjin
“Reporting, Battalion Commander, it’s me.”
Jiang Chen stepped forward and responded directly. His voice was calm, without the slightest hesitation.
The Jinyiwei is a place where things get done, and strength is respected.
A Xiaoqi only needs enough merit, but to go higher requires sufficient strength.
For example, a Zongqi must be at least a Houtian martial artist, a Shi Baihu and Battalion Commander require Xiantian martial artists, a Deputy Commander requires Grandmaster Realm cultivation, and a Commander requires Great Grandmaster Realm cultivation.
And the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Four Garrison Commanders must be at the Heaven-Human Realm to be appointed.
As for the two Deputy Commanders and the legendary Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one knows what their cultivation levels are.
He only knew that it was because of the existence of these Jinyiwei experts that the four sects and six schools in the martial world, as well as those with ulterior motives and those who were ready to make trouble, did not dare to easily provoke the imperial court’s authority, let alone attempt to subvert the peace of the world’s people.
They were like the imperial court’s sharp sword, hanging above the Jianghu, making those with malicious intentions fearful, thereby ensuring the stability of imperial power and the peace of the world.
In the Jinyiwei, a world where strength is respected, strength is everything.
With enough strength, one can soar to the top and become someone above all others.
Everyone here is working tirelessly to improve their strength, because they know that only with strong strength can they gain a foothold in the Jinyiwei, and only then can they win a place for themselves in this treacherous imperial court.
Therefore, Jiang Chen never intended to hide his strength. He knew that in this world where strength is respected, only by showing his true strength can he gain the respect of others.
As for what exactly happened to him that allowed him to leap from a Third-Rate Martial Artist to a Xiantian Realm expert, that was his own secret.
The unspoken rule of the martial world is that anyone who asks about your secrets becomes your mortal enemy.
Wu Tao did not dwell too much on the issue of Jiang Chen’s strength, but with piercing eyes and a serious expression, asked: “Did you find any evidence? Something that can prove that Jue Ming was indeed killed by Jiang Chen, or clues pointing to other murderers?”
His voice echoed in the silent air, with an undeniable authority.
He knew that the Jinyiwei could handle cases without evidence, but that was for outsiders.
But when dealing with their own people, they must never listen and believe blindly, only looking at one side of the story.
Otherwise, once people’s hearts are scattered, the team will be difficult to lead.
“Yes!”
Jiang Chen’s voice was firm and powerful. He immediately took out a manual from his chest, the same manual he had searched from Li Chengqi.
He presented it with both hands, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Wu Tao took the manual, his brow furrowed, and began to read it carefully.
His eyes wandered between the lines, occasionally letting out a low hum, obviously shocked by the contents of the manual.
As he read further, his face became more and more gloomy, and anger burned in his chest.
“Damn son of a b*tch!”
Wu Tao finally couldn’t help but roar, and slammed the booklet hard on Li Muqing’s face.
The cover of the booklet was slightly curled from the impact, and the pages were scattered all over the ground, as if telling the crimes committed by Li Chengqi.
Li Muqing’s face turned pale instantly, and he trembled as he picked up the booklet from the ground, his eyes full of horror.
“Look, look at what your good nephew has done!”
Wu Tao’s voice was cold and angry. He pointed to the booklet on the ground and said to Li Muqing: “No wonder those Lishi who went out to perform tasks died completely every time. It turns out he sold them to the Demonic Sect! Don’t tell me you don’t know anything about this!”
Li Muqing’s face turned red, as if roasted by a raging fire, but he couldn’t say a word.
“This… I really don’t know.”
Li Muqing finally squeezed out these few words with difficulty, his voice low.
He knew that no matter how he defended himself, he could not change the facts before him.
After all, in their eyes, the Jinyiwei Lishi were just “temporary workers” who could be replaced at any time, and they didn’t even have death benefits.
How could he possibly ask about such trivial matters one by one?
Wu Tao looked at Li Muqing coldly, his eyes full of disappointment.
“Take the body back. I want to investigate thoroughly to see how many of these scumbags are still in our Jinyiwei!”
As Wu Tao’s voice fell, several Jinyiwei Lishi quickly stepped forward, picked up the body from the ground, and placed it on the horse outside the inn.
Their movements were swift, as if they were used to this kind of thing.
……
The shopkeeper and staff of this inn were all silenced by Li Chengqi and his men.
After the Jinyiwei left, the entire inn fell into a deathly silence.
A man with a sinister face strode into it.
He casually picked up a plate of food from the table and smelled it: “The sleeping drug was clearly put in, how could it have failed?”
“Bang!”
Throwing the plate away casually, the man came to the table that Jiang Chen had smashed.
“What overbearing True Qi, who did this?”
After thinking for a moment, he sneered: “No matter who it is, anyone who dares to ruin the affairs of our Holy Cult must die!”
After saying that, he strode towards the direction of the Capital City.
……
The next morning, as the sky had just begun to turn light, Jiang Chen had already arrived at the gate of the Garrison.
Inside the Garrison, most of the Jinyiwei had already come after hearing the news. They were either standing or sitting, discussing among themselves, and the entire plaza was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Li Chengqi’s matter was like a blockbuster, causing an uproar within the Jinyiwei.
The crimes he committed had an unprecedented impact on the reputation of the Jinyiwei Eastern Pacification Bureau.
At this moment, Meng Wangjin, the Azure Dragon Envoy of the Four Garrison Commanders, appeared like a bolt of lightning at a high point in the Garrison.
He was wearing a gorgeous official uniform, with an Azure Dragon Jade Pendant symbolizing his identity at his waist, standing there as straight as a gun, quietly watching the Jinyiwei in front of him.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everyone’s heart.
Meng Wangjin’s arrival made the atmosphere of the entire Garrison even more tense.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, and couldn’t help but change his expression.
Because above Meng Wangjin’s head, there was a number.
However, this number was not black, but a glittering golden color.
“Black is Sin Points, could the golden number be Merit Points?”
Jiang Chen touched his chin, and couldn’t help but think.
