[Chapter 931 Burial at Sea]

Mr. Hou said, “It was delivered by the old slave in the morning.” He continued, “The food in the Governor’s Mansion has always been very careful. The food of the Governor and his wife will be checked before we send it in. This bowl was delivered this morning. After I delivered the tremella soup, Chuntao tasted it before I brought it into the house.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, Director Hou looked up at Madam Shen on the bed, and said with a sour nose, “Madam must have had the intention of following the Great Governor, so she packed herself like this.”

Mrs. Shen was dressed in clean plain white clothes, and she was lying on the bed very calmly and calmly. There was no pain on the face of Mrs. Shen. Kill, Mrs. Shen can’t be like this in the state of death.

Everything in front of her did prove that Mrs. Shen was ready to die.

Although the scene where Tantai Zhilin and Mrs. Shen committed suicide could not find any other flaws, but the couple used suicide to understand their own lives, but it really made Qi Ning feel a little weird, and deep down he always felt that something was wrong. It’s not as simple as it seems.

“Snapped!”

A crisp sound suddenly wanted to sound, but Shen Liangqiu suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face, Qi Ning was startled, but Shen Liangqiu sighed: “I didn’t protect the Great Governor, and now even the madam is not optimistic about it. What kind of face can I have to see the Great Governor.” Turning around and walking in front of Qi Ning, he looked at Qi Ning and said, “Master Hou, it is the humble general who failed to protect them, I implore the master to return to Beijing this time. They will be escorted to Beijing together.”

“What does General Shen mean?”

“Back then, the humble general once swore an oath to live and die together with the great governor. If there is a knife in the back of the great governor, the humble general will definitely stand behind him.” Shen Liangqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: “But now the great governor and The madam has already gone, the poor general is still alive, and the poor general has to apologize to the old marquis first, then!” But he didn’t say anything after that.

Qi Ning could see the hidden pain in his eyes.

After seeing Shen Liangqiu yesterday, Qi Ning found that Shen Liangqiu had actually been restraining his emotions all the time and seemed calmer.

Tantai Zhilin died, and the highest general of the navy was Shen Liangqiu. Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for Shen Liangqiu to keep calm.

But Tantai Zhilin and his wife committed suicide one after another, and Shen Liangqiu obviously couldn’t control his emotions.

“By the way, Mr. Hou, please find a maid to come over and see if there is anything left on Madam’s body.” Qi Ning pondered for a while, and then softly ordered: “This is Madam’s room, it’s not good for us to stay here. Stay a little longer, go out and talk.”

Manager Hou got up to look for Chuntao to come in, and the others also went out. After going out, Shen Liangqiu took a deep breath and turned to ask Manager Hou, “Where is the young master?”

“There is a nanny taking care of you.” Manager Hou wiped away his tears and was still in shock: “General Shen, what should we do next?”

“Young Master can’t stay here, we have to send it back to the capital as soon as possible.” Shen Liangqiu calmly said, “The body of the Governor can’t be left like that!” Xiang Qining asked: “Master Hou, we must put the Governor to the corpse as soon as possible, And ma’am!” He muttered.

“Is General Shen planning to send the two bodies back to the capital?” Qi Ning asked.

Shen Liangqiu sighed, “It’s just that this is a bit difficult to handle.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning asked curiously, “How do you say this?”

“The Marquis doesn’t know something, the Great Governor once said a long time ago, if one day!” Shen Liangqiu paused for a moment, then said: “If one day he really leaves the position of the Naval Governor, he would rather let himself sleep forever. In the sea, he said that he had made the sea his home for half his life, and even if he left, he would lie on the bottom of the sea.”

Qi Ning was stunned, Shen Liangqiu shook his head and said: “At that time, there were many generals in the navy, and everyone thought that the Grand Governor was just talking about it, so they all said that if he died, they would all stay in the sea. Jin Lan, knowing that the Great Governor is not a word of mouth, he also said that after his death, he will follow the Great Governor and sleep at the bottom of the sea!”

“so,

Did the governor want to be buried at sea after he left?

”

“It’s not just the Great Governor, but many people who have always used the sea as their home will have such thoughts.” Shen Liangqiu explained: “Many fishermen are buried at sea after they die.”

“So that’s the case.” Qi Ning asked, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t Madam also be buried at sea with the Governor?”

Shen Liangqiu said with a wry smile: “The governor and his wife have a deep relationship. The lady committed suicide by taking poison for the governor. This is to follow the governor. With such deep affection, how can they be separated.”

Qi Ning thought about how to deal with the funeral of Tantai Zhilin’s husband and wife. This is the Tantai family’s business.

At this moment, Chuntao, who had entered not long ago, came out in a hurry, but with a letter in her hand, she said to Shen Liangqiu, “General Shen, here is a letter, which is carried in Madam’s arms.”

Shen Liangqiu immediately stretched out his hand to take it. He was about to take it apart, but he stopped and presented it to Qi Ning. Qi Ning shook his head and said, “Has General Shen seen Madam’s handwriting? Let’s see if it’s really what Madam left.”

Shen Liangqiu immediately opened the letterhead, glanced at it, and then said to Mr. Hou next to him: “Mr. Hou, you have also seen Madam’s handwriting. Do you think it was written by Madam?”

Manager Hou came over, took a closer look, and said with certainty, “Yes, this is Madam’s handwriting.”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and read the letter carefully. After a while, he let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile, “Madam committed suicide, so it was my fault!”

Several people didn’t understand, and Shen Liangqiu explained: “Last night, I told my wife that Mr. Hou led the officers from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter of the Governor, and it was roughly determined that the Governor did indeed commit suicide.” Continued: “Previously, Madam never believed that the Grand Governor would leave her and the young master, she only thought that the Grand Governor was murdered, so she waited every day for the imperial court to send someone to investigate the matter, but last night she knew that the Grand Governor would After committing suicide, then!” The voice was slightly choked.

Qi Ning said, “Madam knew that the Grand Governor committed suicide, so she had no other attachments, so she committed suicide by taking poison and followed the Grand Governor. What does General Shen mean?”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and blamed himself: “If I hadn’t reported to Madam like that last night, maybe it wouldn’t have happened.”

“Did Madame mention anything else in the letter?”

“The madam said in the letter that the governor-general was a little abnormal in the days before he committed suicide.” Shen Liangqiu said: “The governor-general was in a trance, and he mentioned several times that if he leaves one day, a sea burial will be held for him. .” Shen Liangqiu handed the letter to Qi Ning with both hands, and waited for Qi Ning to take it before continuing: “Madam asked us to send the young master back to the capital, she will stay in the East China Sea and be buried at sea with the governor.”

Qi Ning took the letter and glanced at it. The handwriting was beautiful, and it was indeed written by a woman. Mrs. Shen’s suicide note was concise and clear, and its ultimate purpose was obviously to accompany her husband for the sea burial.

Qi Ning folded the suicide note, but put it in his sleeve, and said, “This is the suicide note left by Madam. Although this marquis was appointed by the imperial court, he was actually entrusted by the old marquis. This suicide note is waiting for this marquis. After returning to Beijing, handing it over to the old marquis in person can be regarded as an explanation to the old marquis, General Shen, what do you think?”

“It’s best to be like this naturally.” Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly, “Master Hou, Madam has also left, it’s better not to be known about this matter.”

“Of course.” Qi Ning said: “The remains of the Governor and his wife can be put into the burial as soon as possible, but the imperial court is discussing the replacement of the Governor. I’m afraid it will cause a commotion in the East China Sea.” He frowned slightly and said, “It’s just that if you keep it like this, I’m afraid!”

He didn’t go on, but everyone knew what he meant.

Although the hottest time has passed, the weather has not cooled down and the temperature is still not low. If the body is not buried for a long time, the body will always be damaged.

“If the governor really wants to be buried at sea, he must not act hastily.” Shen Liangqiu said in a non-negotiable tone: “Master Hou, Bei will properly arrange the remains of the governor and his wife, and there will be no problem.”

Seeing him say this, Qi Ning knew that he had a way and nodded slightly, and then said: “This Marquis will write a document and submit it, and General Shen can also write a document. Both the governor and his wife died by suicide, this has already been done. There is no doubt about it, but we still have to think about the reason for the suicide of the Great Governor, and we always have to give an explanation to the court.”

Shen Liangqiu’s lips moved slightly, but he hesitated.

“What did General Shen want to say?” Qi Ning stared at Shen Liangqiu and asked.

Only then did Shen Liangqiu say: “I think about it, Great Governor!” Halfway through the sentence, he shook his head and said, “That won’t be the case, even now, I still feel that it is impossible for the Great Governor to lose his mind because of the black tiger shark.

“How to report the case, General Shen should think about it himself.” Qi Ning said: “On this side, I will only report what I know.” Seeing Shen Liangqiu’s haggard expression, he comforted: “General Shen, don’t be too sad, My condolences and change, the sailor side, I still have to rely on you now.”

Shen Liangqiu cupped his hands, and Qi Ning said, “This marquis is here to wait for the imperial court’s will. If General Shen has anything to do, just go to the post house to find me.” He patted Shen Liangqiu’s arm lightly, not much. Say, turn around and leave.

Shen Liangqiu personally delivered it to the gate. After going out, Wu Dalin and others were already waiting outside the Governor’s Mansion. After riding for a while, Wei Yujiang suddenly asked, “Master Hou, is this the end of the matter?”

Qi Ning rode slowly, turned his head to look at Wei Yujiang and asked, “Why does Wei Sishen ask such a question?”

“I just think it’s weird.” Wei Yujiang approached Qi Ning, and the two horses walked side by side: “The Governor of Tantai committed suicide, we just arrived yesterday, and Mrs. Shen committed suicide today. I think there must be a secret inside.”

“You have also seen the scene where the governor and Mrs. Shen committed suicide. The governor of Tantai died in the secret room, and Mrs. Shen not only took poison after cleaning up, but also left a suicide note.” Qi Ning said slowly: “Two Human death, can you find evidence that they did not commit suicide?”

“This!” Wei Yujiang was immediately embarrassed. Just as Qi Ning said, he had personally seen the two scenes, but he didn’t find anything wrong with the scene.

“Motivation!” Qi Ning said, “If both of them committed suicide and couldn’t find any evidence to refute it, then they could only find the motivation for the suicide of the Grand Governor of Tantai. Such a character, what exactly caused him to commit suicide.” He raised his head. Looking at the sky, the blue sky was like washing, and he murmured, “What is the governor of Tantai afraid of?”
