A Clash of Gods - Chapter 936

[Chapter 926]

The front hall of the Grand Governor’s Mansion had already been lit. When Qi Ning came to the front hall, he saw a middle-aged official in official robe walking back and forth in the hall with his hands on his back, looking a little anxious, but standing beside him A man in strong suit, tall and straight like a gun, very calm.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the official turned around immediately, saw someone entering the door, and hurried forward to meet him.

Shen Liangqiu was leading the way, so walking in front of Qi Ning, the middle-aged official naturally knew Shen Liangqiu, and before he got close, he already smiled and said, “General Shen, take the liberty to interrupt, but don’t blame him, is Lord Hou here?”

Shen Liangqiu’s face was calm, and when he turned around, Qi Ning had already smiled and said, “Is this the Inspector Chen?”

The official was startled, looked at Qi Ning, and was still a little uncertain. Shen Liangqiu had already said, “Sir Shen, this is Jin Yi Hou!”

The middle-aged official was Chen Ting, the prefect of the East China Sea. Hearing Shen Liangqiu’s words, his expression softened, he straightened his clothes, and came forward to salute respectfully: “Chen Ting, the prefect of the East China Sea, pays respects to the Marquis!”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Sir Chen, don’t be polite.” He raised his hand and said, “Sit down and talk.”

“Don’t dare!” Chen Ting said respectfully.

Qi Ning ignored it and sat down, but looked at the man not far behind Chen Ting. The man was slender, but his eyes were sharp. There is heroism.

Chen Ting is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing Qi Ning’s eyes, he immediately said: “Master Hou, this is Qin Yuege, the Cao envoy of the East China Sea, who is responsible for the judicial affairs of the East China Sea.”

Under the name of Dachu Punishment, the Central Department of Punishment was established, while the local counties established the Department of Law Cao, which was subordinate to the Punishment Department. Qi Ning was now the Minister of Punishment, and this Donghai Fa Cao envoy was regarded as a direct subordinate of Qi Ning.

Qin Yuege had already stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and said respectfully, “I pay respects to Lord Hou!”

Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “You don’t have to be restrained.” I thought that Chen Ting came with the Fa Cao envoy, which was a bit meaningful. Since this person knew that he had come to the East China Sea, I am afraid that he also knew about Tantai Zhilin’s identity. news of death.

Although Shen Liangqiu tried his best to control the news of Tantai Zhilin’s death, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that Chen Ting, as the governor of the East China Sea, may not be ignorant of such a big event on the ground under his jurisdiction.

“Master Hou condescended to come to the East China Sea, but Xiaguan failed to come out of the city to meet him, and I hope Master Hou will forgive you.” Chen Ting respectfully said: “Xiaguan has already prepared a banquet for Master Hou, and I also invite Master Hou and General Shen. Appreciate the light.”

Shen Liangqiu stood aside with a cold expression and did not speak.

Qi Ning smiled slightly and asked, “Master Chen, this Marquis just entered the city this evening. I’m afraid it’s only two hours away from now, but I wonder when you knew that this Marquis would come to the East China Sea?”

“Reporting to Lord Hou, in fact, Xiaguan only got the news at noon today.” Chen Ting immediately said: “Xiaguan learned that Lord Hou will arrive in Gulin City in two days, so he has been sending people to wait for Lord Hou outside the city. Da Jia, but never saw the Marquis arriving. At dusk, I heard that a group of people rode into the city, which was unusual, and they went directly to the Grand Governor’s Mansion.

“Get the news at noon?” Qi Ning laughed, “Where did you get the news?”

Chen Ting didn’t talk nonsense. He took out the letter from his sleeve, stepped forward, and presented it to Qi Ning with both hands. Qi Ning took it and opened it and glanced at it before smiling: “It turns out that Duke Zhen Guo sent you a letter.”

“The old country announced that the Lord Hou came to handle the case. He was worried about the shortage of manpower, so he requested an order, and with the permission of the emperor, Cao Si of the East China Sea Law will obey the Lord Hou’s dispatch.” Chen Ting said: “Xiaguan brought Qin Yuege here, what does Lord Hou have? Order, even if you show it.”

“The letter said that Ben Hou came to handle the case and asked you to help, but it didn’t say what the case was.” Qi Ning returned the letter: “Master Chen, do you know what kind of case happened in the East China Sea?”

Chen Ting shook his head and said, “I don’t know about the lower official. It’s just that the laborer Marquis has to come in person for this case, and the old man sent a letter in person. It must be very difficult.” Pointing to Qin Yuege, he said, “Marquis, Qin Facao has been handling cases for many years,

He is very experienced, and he is very familiar with the situation in the East China Sea. He has solved many major cases and has outstanding talents. It would be his honor to assist Lord Hou in handling this case.

”

Qi Ning laughed, looked at Qin Yuege, and asked, “Qin Facao, then take a guess, what’s going on here?”

“I don’t dare to speak falsely.” Qin Yuege respectfully said.

“Benhou asked you to say it, you can just guess.” Qi Ning said: “Even if you guess wrong, this Hou will not blame you.”

Qin Yuege glanced at Shen Liangqiu before saying: “After the Marquis entered the city, he rushed to the Grand Governor’s Mansion as soon as possible. This case is naturally implicated in the Donghai Division. Just as the Chief Inspector said, the able-bodied Marquis came in person. The cases handled are of course no trivial matter.”

Qi Ning just stared at Qin Yuege without speaking.

“It stands to reason that when Lord Hou arrives, he should be accompanied by the Governor of Tantai in person, but at the moment only General Shen is by the side, and the Governor is not seen. I dare to speculate that this case should have happened to the Governor.” Qin Yuege His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and it was very slow. From the tone of his voice, it was impossible to judge his mood at all.

Qi Ning smiled and said, “It’s not surprising that you can guess this.”

“Although the surrounding area of the Grand Governor’s Mansion seems to be peaceful, it is heavily guarded.” Qin Yuege said, “I take the liberty of guessing that the Governor was assassinated by someone?”

Qi Ning’s brows twitched slightly and asked, “Assassination? Qin Facao thinks someone will assassinate the Great Governor?” He stared at Qin Yuege’s eyes, and then asked: “Then what do you think, if the Great Governor was assassinated, Who would dare to be so bold?”

“I’m blunt and talk nonsense, please forgive me!” Qin Yuege hurriedly folded his hands and bent over.

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “This Marquis said, even if you say something wrong, Ben Marquis will not blame you.” After a while, he said, “I might as well tell you bluntly, this time is indeed an investigation. As for the case related to the Great Governor, your guess is similar, and this Marquis is asking you now, do you think that on the surface of the East China Sea, who would dare to assassinate the Great Governor?”

When Qi Ning entered the hall just now, Wei Yujiang and the others did not follow him into the hall. In the hall at this moment, apart from Chen Ting and Qin Yuege, there were only Shen Liangqiu and Qi Ning.

The hall was lit with lights, the flames flickered, Shen Liangqiu looked solemn, and Chen Ting was respectful.

Qin Yuege pondered for a while before saying: “The Governor is very prestige in the East China Sea, and the Governor’s mansion is well guarded, and the Governor is very skilled in martial arts. Not to mention the daring of ordinary people to assassinate the Governor, even the courage to have this heart. I don’t dare to have it.” After a slight pause, he said, “Assuming a humble position, if you dare to attack the governor, you can only be a desperado.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning calmly said, “Where are the desperados you speak of?”

Qin Yuege looked at Shen Liangqiu and asked, “General Shen, do you think it’s possible that the Black Tiger Shark sent someone?”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, and didn’t rush to ask, but Shen Liangqiu sneered: “Black tiger shark? A group of rabble, how dare you move the governor, isn’t that self-defeating?”

Only then did Qi Ning ask, “General Shen, where is the black tiger shark sacred?”

“Reporting to Marquis, the black tiger shark is the leader of a group of pirates in the East China Sea.” Shen Liangqiu said: “But now it is a lost dog, and the navy has been looking for their old nest to completely destroy them.”

Qi Ning asked curiously, “So, the pirates in the East China Sea have not yet been eliminated?”

Shen Liangqiu explained: “In those days when the East China Sea was infested with thieves, the old marquis attacked with a heavy punch, and almost all the most arrogant pirates were wiped out. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other pirates all fled to the distant sea. However, some of them survived. After the Governor was in the navy, there were a few pirates who wanted to take the opportunity to come back for disaster, and they were designed to be wiped out by the Governor, and there were not many pirates left in the East China Sea.”

“Is this black tiger shark a pirate?”

Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly: “Black tiger sharks are very cunning, and they have several fast boats, and they have to catch them several times, but they all fall short. However, they have also tasted the greatness of the navy over the years, and the losses have been heavy, but they dare not Come closer to the sea.”

“Since this is the case, why did Qin Facao say that the black tiger shark has the heart to assassinate the governor?” Qi Ning turned to Qin Yuege: “They don’t even dare to come near the sea, how can they have the courage to assassinate them? Governor?”

Shen Liangqiu hesitated for a moment before saying: “Less than half a year ago, a few people with strange whereabouts were captured in the city. After interrogation, it turned out that the black tiger shark secretly sent people ashore to inquire about the news. Everyone had their heads beheaded and hung on the seashore with tall wood for a full month.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, Shen Liangqiu hesitated to say anything, Qi Ning saw that he was embarrassed, and asked, “What is inconvenient for General Shen to say?”

Shen Liangqiu said with a wry smile: “One morning, the soldiers on patrol suddenly discovered that the heads hanging on Takagi had disappeared, and a flag was flying above Takagi.”

“flag?”

“Black Shark Flag!” Shen Liangqiu already clenched his fists, “That is the flag of the Black Tiger Shark. The four soldiers guarding the head were all nailed under Takagi with sharp wood through their chests, and they were all naked, with knives in their abdomens. It was engraved with the words “Blood for Blood”.”

Qi Ning was taken aback, and now he understood why Shen Liangqiu was so embarrassed.

The head of the sea bandits displayed by the Donghai Marine Division was originally intended to deter the black tiger shark, but in the end the head was taken away and the banner of the black tiger shark was hung up. Even the soldiers guarding the head were slaughtered. As a result, not only Instead of deterring the pirates, it caused a serious blow to the morale of the East Sea Marines.

This is, of course, a great shame for the East Sea Mariner!

Qi Ning knew such things in his heart. Of course, the East Sea Division tried their best to conceal it and did not let this matter go out. Otherwise, it would not only be a shame for the Donghai Division, but it would also be heavy for the military name of the Jindao Tantai family. blow.

Shen Liangqiu Yu Si is Tantai Zhilin’s sworn brother, and Yu Gong is also Tantai Zhilin’s confidant. Of course, Shen Liangqiu would not take the initiative to say such things.
