A Clash of Gods - Chapter 939

[Chapter 929]

Only at this moment did Qi Ning know that the black tiger shark had been embarrassing the navy many times, but the navy had nothing to do with him, thinking that facing such a cunning opponent, it was reasonable for Tantai Zhilin to be depressed.

But there was something strange in his heart. The so-called shrimps have shrimps and crabs. If the bandits in the East China Sea want to survive, they will naturally abide by the rules of the game, and the navy should keep the bandits and take care of themselves. This is a great opportunity for the East China Sea bandits to survive. , After all, facing each other head-on, it is impossible for the East China Sea bandits to compete with the East China Sea divisions.

The navy has a steady stream of logistical supplies, and the biggest disadvantage of the East China Sea bandits at sea is that they cannot get enough logistical support. As long as the navy is fully blocking the coast, it is enough to consume the bandits at sea.

Of course, this is not a situation the East China Sea bandits would like to see. Over the years, the two sides have formed a tacit understanding.

But the black tiger shark broke this rule. His purpose was not just to plunder the coast, but to directly point the finger at the East Sea Master. From a certain point of view, this is undoubtedly the road of self-destruction by hitting the stone with the egg. .

It was hard for Qi Ning to imagine that a forward-looking leader of the pirates would choose this path.

But the black tiger shark chose this path.

Although relying on the familiarity with the sea area, it can temporarily avoid the encirclement and suppression of the navy, but after a long time, the difference in the logistics supply between the two sides, once the navy is determined to destroy this bandit, then the final outcome of the black tiger shark is almost possible Imagine that as long as Tantai Zhilin has enough patience, even without having to do it himself, there will be infighting within the bandits because of the harsh environment.

In any case, Qi Ning couldn’t figure out why the black tiger shark would blatantly be the enemy of the East Sea Division.

“Headmaster Jing, what actions does the Donghai Sea Master have to do with the bandits?” Qi Ning pondered for a moment before asking softly.

Jing Shou immediately said: “According to the information I have received, the navy has already begun to blockade the coast, and the navy’s warships are all cruising along the coast, and they have sent the strongest warships to search for black tigers at sea all the time. The trace of the shark.” He smiled slightly and said in a low voice: “And the navy has also released the wind, as long as someone can deliver the head of the black tiger shark to the Donghai navy, they will not only reward gold, but also recommend him to the imperial court as an official. , no matter what you did in the past, let it go.”

“Oh?”

“Actually, this is meant to be known to those pirates at sea.” Jing Shou chuckled: “As the wind spreads, it will inevitably make the Black Tiger Shark and his subordinates watch out for each other, and the Black Tiger Shark is naturally worried that someone under his subordinate will really He took his head because of his golden position, but until now, the black tiger shark should be alive and well.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, held his chin, and asked thoughtfully, “The black tiger shark can replace the eight sons of Miao, and can even gather scattered forces at sea in a short period of time. This person’s courage and talent are indeed different. Ordinary, such a person should have long been famous, right?”

Jing Shou shook his head and said: “Before Miao Bazi was killed, no one really knew the reputation of this black tiger shark, not even my gang of beggars knew that there was such a person in the sea. As long as there are some famous people in the sea, we beggars We still know a little bit about the gang, but we don’t know anything about this black tiger shark, and we didn’t know anything about him until the black tiger shark became the bandit leader.”

“So it is.” Qi Ning asked softly: “How old is this person, can Master Jing know?”

“To be honest, we still don’t know whether this person is male or female, old or young.” Jing Shou said a little embarrassedly: “When Miao Bazi was alive, there were often pirates who disguised themselves and went ashore. Come on, we are familiar with their traces, and we can still know some things at sea, but after the black tiger shark came up, it immediately pointed its finger at the navy. If the rules are broken, there will be fewer pirates coming ashore, okay? It was easy to come ashore and was caught by the sailors. After that, I only knew that the black tiger shark led people everywhere to make trouble with the sailors, and little other news was known.” He hesitated for a while, with a slightly puzzled brow. Still asked: “Excuse me, why are you so interested in black tiger sharks?”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “I just heard that the black tiger shark dares to be the enemy of the East Sea Division.

I was very curious and wanted to know who this person was.

”

“It’s not easy to find out about the black tiger shark now.” Jing Shou said: “And after the black tiger shark and the navy are enemies, our beggar gang will not go to contact with those people, so as not to be involved in it.”

Qi Ning knew what Jing Shou meant and said with a smile: “Master Jing, don’t worry, I won’t let you do anything that embarrassed the Beggar Gang.” He knew that the Beggar Gang was well-informed and thought about it. Then he asked: “There is one more thing, I want to ask Master Jing Duo for advice.”

Jing Shou immediately raised his hand and said, “Don’t be polite, Your Excellency. You have Suzaku Ling in your hand, and you are a good friend of our beggar gang. As long as there is something we can help, it is obligatory and will never refuse.”

“Master Jing, I don’t know!” Qi Ning paused for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then asked, “Does the Beggar Gang know of any strange disappearance cases in the East China Sea?”

“A strange disappearance case?” Jing Shou was startled, slightly surprised.

Qi Ning said: “To be honest, I encountered some strange things before. I heard that some young and strong men disappeared inexplicably. It was like disappearing from the world, and suddenly their whereabouts were unknown and no news was heard.”

Jing Shou’s expression suddenly became solemn, his body turned slightly, and he asked in a low voice, “Your Excellency knows this?” He asked, Qi Ning immediately knew that Jing Shou obviously knew about it, and immediately said: “Master Jing. Looks like I’ve heard of it.”

Jing Shou thought for a moment before saying: “I have really heard some such rumors, most of which happened in remote villages, just as your Excellency said, similar incidents have occurred in those villages, and all the missing are young and strong men, and since then There is no news.” He frowned: “The villagers all said that there were ghosts and ghosts, and those villagers were taken away by ghosts.”

When Qi Ning heard what Jing Shou said was almost the same as what he had heard in Dongyang County, he was stunned and asked with a stern expression: “Does Master Jing know where these things happened? How many people are missing so far? ”

Jing Shou shook his head and said: “It’s really unclear how many people are missing. There are more than a dozen county towns under Donghai County, and each county town has dozens of villages. After some people disappeared, some people reported the case to the government, but many people After the disappearance, the local villagers felt that there were ghosts and ghosts, and did not report it to the government. The Beggar Gang also went to investigate the matter, but could not find any clues at all. The disappearance of those people was bizarre, and there was no clue in advance. No clues were left after the disappearance!” Shaking his head, he sighed: “No one reports this kind of thing, and the government doesn’t care about it. Even if someone reports a case, the government sends someone to investigate and find out. If there are no clues, there will be nothing left.”

“The government is over?” Qi Ning frowned.

Jing Shou said: “Actually, there are some things that can’t be blamed on the government. There is a Chenjia Village dozens of miles west of Gulin City. Last year, five young and strong men disappeared mysteriously in Chenjia Village overnight. We beggars know about this. Now, some brothers went to inquire about the news, but the people in the village were silent about it, no one said a word, and after the incident, the village also invited Taoist priests to exorcise the ghosts, and the whole village felt that it was the ghosts who captured the strong men. , the old people in the village are not even allowed to go to the government to report the case. This happened in Chenjia Village, I am afraid that many other villages are like this, so how many people are missing, the Beggar Gang can’t tell. ”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly in his heart. The people were missing. There was obviously something strange about it, but the villagers mistook it for ghosts. As long as the ghosts and gods were involved, who would really investigate carefully.

After leaving the Beggar Gang, Qi Ning quietly returned to the post house, rested for a long time, and got up early in the morning the next day, and went out after cleaning up. Wei Yujiang and others were already waiting.

When the officials knew that Tantai Zhilin died, they thought it was a big case at first, but after the autopsy and the investigation of the scene environment, it has been concluded that Tantai Zhilin died by suicide, although they were very surprised and regretful, But since it wasn’t a homicide, we all know that this case actually doesn’t require much effort.

Qi Ning did not let other officials accompany him. After breakfast, he only let Wei Yujiang accompany him, and Wu Dalin brought two people to accompany him.

The sun is shining, the sky is high and the air is cool, and people come and go on the streets.

The post house is not far from the Governor’s Mansion. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com crossed two streets to reach the Governor’s Mansion. Qi Ning had already agreed yesterday that he wanted to see Tantai Zhilin’s widow today. After entering the Grand Governor’s Mansion, Shen Liangqiu had already received the report and rushed over quickly, seeing Qi Ning, he immediately said: “Master Hou, I told Madam last night that Master Hou wants to see Madam today, Madam didn’t say much, nodded in agreement. , Lord Hou wait for a moment, the humble general has sent someone to tell Madam that Lord Hou has arrived.”

After Qi Ning was seated, he asked, “How is Madam’s health?”

“The madam and the governor and his wife have a deep relationship. The governor passed away this time, madam!” Shen Liangqiu shook his head with a wry smile.

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “General Shen, the Governor General has passed away, and the court has not made a decree to choose someone else to replace him. Before that, you will be the one to manage the sailors, and you must take care of your health. It is.”

“Thank you for your concern, Lord Hou.” Shen Liangqiu said: “Master Hou came here this time, and he also inspected the body of the Governor. After the Governor passed away, it was really inappropriate to leave the body like this for so many days, so the humble general is prepared to meet with him today. Madam discuss, take the body of the Great Governor.”

“It should be so.” Qi Ning said, “Is the coffin of the Great Governor ready?”

Shen Liangqiu explained: “After the death of the great governor, the lower officials have sent people to secretly find a good coffin, and only after the court sends people to come over. Come here, it will be parked in the courtyard of the Grand Governor’s body right now, just wait for the consultation with the madam, then!”

Before he could finish his sentence, a voice of exclamation suddenly came from outside: “It’s not good, it’s not good!”——
