[Chapter 963]

Manager Hou frowned slightly, nodded and said, “There is no one else here, so it’s okay to talk about it. (Quick update) In fact, the Governor has been married for many years, and his wife has never had children. This is also an extremely annoying thing for the old Hou.” He smiled bitterly: “This kind of thing, it is not easy for the old man to ask the governor often, so he often writes to the old slave and asks about the situation.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, then stood up suddenly, poured a cup of tea in the past, and handed it to Manager Hou. Manager Hou was startled and flattered. He hurriedly took it with both hands, and said in a low voice, “Thank you, Lord Hou.”

Qi Ning asked, “We’ve been married for five years, but haven’t given birth to a child. Not to mention a family like Jindao Tantai, even an ordinary family, it’s a matter of urgency. Boss, what is the reason for this?”

“This!” Manager Hou hesitated.

Qi Ning said solemnly: “Mr. Chief, I know the relationship between you and the Governor. The old man kept you by the Governor’s side, so he naturally trusts you. The Governor can completely hand over the Governor’s Mansion to you. I don’t need much trust in the old man. I naturally believe in the person who can make the old man and his son so trust. I asked you to understand these things tonight, you should understand why the old man, although the death of the Grand Governor of Tantai seems to be It’s not a big problem, but if you think about it carefully, there are too many strange places. I was entrusted by the emperor and the old marquis to come to the East China Sea to investigate the truth of the matter, so naturally I didn’t dare to slack off.”

Manager Hou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded slightly: “The old slave also knows that the Lord Hou is here because of the Lord’s entrustment, so I told the Lord Hou these things that should not have been said just now.”

Qi Ning reached out and patted Director Hou’s arm, and said warmly, “I know that the old Director also has doubts about the death of the Governor, but the facts are there, and we can’t find anything wrong, so let’s try our best to find out if there are other possibilities. If the boss can help me, it will definitely make things more effective.”

Mr. Hou held the teacup in both hands, thought for a moment, and finally said: “Master Hou, in fact, the old man has not been worried about his wife’s affairs in the past few years, and the old slave has also spent his time here. Well, three years after we got married, the old marquis couldn’t bear it any longer, so he sent someone to deliver medicine!”

“Deliver medicine?”

“It is said to be a panacea for giving birth to a child. (The fastest update)” Mr. Hou sighed softly: “The medicine doesn’t look any different. The old man instructed the old slave and the old slave to put it in his wife’s meal, and the wife would eat. Before, some people tried it, but that kind of drug is not harmful, it is only effective for the wife. The old slave can only do as the old man ordered, but for some reason, the wife seems to have discovered the strangeness in it. Move, as soon as the old slave put the food on the table, the madam knocked it all over, and let the old slave do it for himself!”

“Madame didn’t say anything else?”

“No.” Manager Hou shook his head with a wry smile and said, “Since then, I haven’t mentioned that matter. The old slave and the old slave saw that the lady noticed it, so she didn’t put medicine in the meal after that.”

“Are you sure Madam found something wrong with the meal?”

“The situation at that time, the old slave still remembers, Madam’s eyes and expressions clearly indicated that there was a problem with the food.” Manager Hou frowned: “The old servant must have noticed the matter at the time.”

“Then, apart from the old marquis and the boss, does anyone else know about it?”

Manager Hou thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, “Old slave is careful in doing things here, and he will never be noticed, but I don’t know if the old master has told others.”

“Does the Grand Governor know?”

“After all, I put medicine in my wife’s meal. Although I didn’t think about telling the governor at first, but I always felt that it was not good to hide it from the governor, so I mentioned it to the governor once.” Mr. Hou sighed. Said: “Now that I think about it, I shouldn’t talk too much at that time. The old slave’s mind at that time was to let the Governor know that his wife has taken medicine and can have more sex together.”

Qi Ning knew that Mr. Hou was being honest with himself. After all, such things really couldn’t be put on the table. Mr. Hou could say such things.

It is nothing more than hoping that he can find out the clues that Tantai Zhilin committed suicide.

“This is what it should be.” Qi Ning said, “The boss is also for their own good.” Then he frowned: “Few people know about this matter, why does my wife know? The boss also said that the medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it is not at all. If you can’t notice it, why can Madam notice it? Has anyone told her secretly?”

“But apart from the old slave and the Grand Governor, no one else knows about it.” Mr. Hou said suspiciously, “The Governor and his wife respect each other like guests, and usually treat their wife with great respect. I know that my wife will definitely be unhappy when she finds out about it, Governor General. Shouldn’t tell her.”

Qi Ning thought for a while, and then said: “Old Marquis will definitely not let others know, the old boss has not disclosed the news here, and it is impossible for the great governor to tell outsiders, so how does the lady know, really It’s weird.” I really thought this was a bit bizarre, and after thinking about it, I said, “Boss, my wife gave birth to a young son half a year ago. Is that because of the effect of the medicine?”

“It’s impossible.” Manager Hou immediately shook his head and said, “My wife took the medicine for less than a month, and she hasn’t taken it for more than two years since then. Even if there was some effect at the time, it’s impossible that it hasn’t dissipated after two years.”

Qi Ning knew that what Director Hou said was reasonable, and thought about it, and finally said: “Since the madam did not give birth to the young son because of the efficacy of the medicine, it proves that whether it is the governor or the madam, there is no problem with the body itself. , In that case, why does it take the fifth year after getting married to give birth to a child?” Staring at Manager Hou, he whispered: “Boss, the reason for this, outsiders will not know, but the old manager should know some things.”

“This!” Manager Hou frowned, his eyes twitched, he lowered his head, and did not speak for a while.

Qi Ning sighed: “I know there are some things that the boss can’t say, but I don’t think there is any coercion. After all, I came to the East China Sea to find out the truth. After returning to Beijing, I can explain to the old boss. Even more clearly than I do, the old marquis has high hopes for the Governor, and even placed the future of the Tantai family on the Governor, but the Governor passed away like this. If the truth is not made clear, how can the old man accept it?”

Hearing this, Manager Hou suddenly raised his head, grabbed Qi Ning’s hand, and said a little excitedly: “Master Hou, this old servant told you, but you have to promise this old servant, and you must not reveal anything to the public.”

“Don’t worry, boss, I’m just trying to find out the truth. Once the Tantai family name is involved, I will keep my mouth shut and never reveal a word.” Qi Ning said solemnly.

After hearing this, Mr. Hou released his hand slightly and said with a wry smile: “Master Hou, the old slave never imagined that the madam would commit suicide. The old servant said last time that the madam took out her jewelry collection and asked the old servant to share it with him. Everyone, although the behavior is strange, but at that time, the old slave never thought that the madam would follow the governor, and even today, the madam committed suicide for the governor, the old servant and the old servant are also surprised.”

Qi Ning asked, “It is not incomprehensible that the great governor and his wife are deeply in love. When the great governor passed away, his wife followed and died together. It is not incomprehensible. It can only be said that the wife cares about the relationship between husband and wife with the great governor. Why is the boss? Do you think this is unreasonable?”

“Because the relationship between the governor and his wife is not good.” Manager Hou sighed softly and smiled bitterly: “The two respect each other like guests, and when they get along, they both treat each other as guests. Over the years, the old slave has never felt them. I really cared about each other.”

Qi Ning’s body was shocked, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

“After the governor took over as the governor of the navy, all his thoughts were on the navy. Before getting married, the governor’s mansion was just a decoration. Sometimes the governor didn’t come back for more than half a year.” Mr. Hou said in a low voice: “Old Lord Hou When the marriage was decided, the governor could not disobey. Five years ago, he followed the instructions of the old marquis and returned to Beijing to get married. Less than three days after the marriage, he took his wife back to the East China Sea. Since then, his wife has been settled in the governor’s mansion. And the Governor is still living in the barracks!”

“You mean that the two have just gotten married, so if they are separated?” Qi Ning said in surprise.

Mr. Hou said: “The lady has a low-key temperament and doesn’t talk much on weekdays. She is the governor’s wife, so naturally she is not good at making public appearances. She stays in the governor’s mansion all day, and the governor does not come back, so she will not send someone to invite him back. , Marquis, the old slave said something from his heart. At that time, when the governor was so cold to his wife, he felt that what the governor should have done was inappropriate, but this kind of thing between husband and wife, I am a servant, naturally it is not good. say what.”

“So, Madam has never been pregnant with a child, and it has something to do with the neglect of the Great Governor?” Qi Ning asked in a low voice.

Mr. Hou said: “This is true for the first half year. UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com returned to the East China Sea after getting married. In half a year, the governor came back only three times, and each time he came in a hurry, and he didn’t say a few words with his wife, He left in a hurry, getting along like this, it is only natural that the madam could not conceive a child.” After a pause, he said, “The old slave was left by the old marquis, so naturally I can’t just watch it, the old marquis has been waiting. I want to hold my grandson, so this old slave sent a secret letter to the old marquis and told the old marquis about it.”

“How does the old man deal with it?”

“The old marquis thinks that he has sent a letter to the governor.” Mr. Hou said: “In the next six months, the governor will come back twice a month, but he only stays for one night and then leaves. Stay in the study, and will not go back to the lady’s room until midnight, and leave before dawn!”

Qi Ning didn’t expect that Tantai Zhilin’s husband and wife relationship would be so bad. He didn’t know what kind of psychology Tantai Zhilin was in, but from the facts described by Manager Hou, this couple could not be said to be married at all. deep.

If a man really likes a woman, he can’t wait to stay together every day. Even if he is busy with military affairs, he will try to spend as much time as possible with the woman he loves. However, Tantai Zhilin obviously has this condition, but he still ignores Mrs. Tantai. , under the intervention of the old marquis, it is still only possible to see him twice a month, so indifferent, even if Mrs. Tantai is docile, I am afraid that she will be dissatisfied.

Although Tantai Zhilin is the commander of tens of thousands of navy troops, the Donghai Division has not gone through any wars in recent years except for guarding against sea bandits, and the money and equipment of the imperial court has never been cut off. In addition, there is Shen Liangqiu in the navy. As a general, it is impossible for Tantai Zhilin to be so busy that he doesn’t even have time to spend with his wife. Everything can only show that Tantai Zhilin does not take Mrs. Tantai to heart, or that Mrs. Tantai is not Tantai. The woman that Tai Zhilin loves.
