A Clash of Gods - Chapter 975

[Chapter 965: Pegasus Enters Camp]

Manager Hou is not a stupid person. He was able to be left in the East China Sea by the old Hou Ye to help the golden sword prince. In fact, Manager Hou is a relatively shrewd person.

( )

After Qi Ning asked a few words, Director Hou faintly realized something, his face was pale, his expression was uneasy, and his voice was trembling: “Master Hou, do you mean that?”

“Don’t think too much about the boss.” Qi Ning immediately said: “Until the truth is found out, all our conjectures are not valid. I came to the boss tonight to learn more about the situation at that time as much as possible. .”

Manager Hou looked a little stunned, and nodded mechanically.

“I remember you said that before the Governor committed suicide, he was in a bad mood and seemed to be very anxious.” Qi Ning looked at the old manager: “But the old manager just said that the Governor was in a good mood when he came back this time, this!”

Mr. Hou explained: “Master Hou, in fact, during that time, the Governor was in a bad mood.” He hesitated, but in the end he said: “The Governor suffered a loss under the bandits, and was very angry. Ri is always in a mood of annoyance. Although he will try his best to cover it up when he sees the young master after he comes back, the old slave can see that the governor is upset and has been brooding. This time the governor comes back, which is very different from before. Slave only thought that the Great Governor had figured it out!”

Qi Ning did not speak, and did not miss every word that Director Hou said.

“I was in a happy mood when the Governor came back, but it was on the night of the accident!” Manager Hou recalled carefully, and immediately shook his head as soon as he said the words, “No, it should be something wrong again that day.”

“What’s wrong?”

“For the first two days, the chief governor was playing with the young master, and his wife was with him. Their family of three seldom enjoyed family happiness like that.” Mr. Hou said, “The old slave only thought that everything had changed, but he still felt in his heart. In Huanxi, I was thinking of sending a letter to the old marquis, but the next morning, the governor’s face turned bad, he was silent all day, and he looked like he was lost. ()”

“The soul is unrepentant?”

Manager Hou nodded: “The old slave called him several times while eating at noon that day, but he didn’t notice it. He didn’t speak when he was eating, and kept drinking. He drank alone for more than an hour, and the old The slave persuaded him to stop. That afternoon, he sat alone in the living room and didn’t say a word. He sat alone until dinner, and he was drinking alone again. The lady also persuaded him, but the governor seemed not to hear it. , After dinner, I went straight to the study.”

“So that’s the case.” Qi Ning thought thoughtfully and asked, “The Governor changed his attitude overnight, Mr. Chief, the night before the Governor died, he stayed in the mansion? Did he see anyone? ?”

“No.” Mr. Hou said: “The governor played with the young master for a long time that day. After dinner, he went to the study. The old slave saw that the lights in his study were always on. It was almost midnight when the governor came out of the study. , never went out.”

“You saw with your own eyes that the Governor came out of the study?”

“Yes.” Mr. Hou said, “The governor left the study before midnight at the latest. I saw that it was almost midnight. I was afraid that the governor had forgotten and wanted to go to remind him that he had just entered the courtyard. I just came out of the study, didn’t say anything, and went straight back to the house.”

Qi Ning leaned back, leaned back on the chair, pondered for a long time, and finally got up and said, “Boss, it’s already very late, these days you work day and night, you should take care of your body, or rest early.” , shook his head and said, “Don’t drink this wine.”

Manager Hou also got up and said softly: “Master Hou, as long as we can find out the truth of the death of the Great Governor, no matter what the old slave does, even if it is to fight for this old life, the old slave will not hesitate.”

Qi Ning held Manager Hou’s hand and said warmly, “I can understand the feelings of Manager Hou, don’t worry, I will do my best to find out the truth, and there will definitely be places where Manager Manager can help. ()” said in a low voice : “Just every word we said tonight,

The boss must keep it a secret, and don’t tell anyone about it.

”

“Master Hou is here so late, the old slave already understands the meaning.” Manager Hou looked solemn: “Don’t worry, Master Hou, what you say tonight will only be brought into the coffin.”

Qi Ning knew that if Tantai Zhilin just committed suicide, it would be fine, but if it was really premeditated, then this matter must be no trivial matter.

Tantai Zhilin is the son of the golden sword, and he is also the governor of the East China Sea. He can be regarded as the most powerful figure on the ground in the East China Sea. To deal with such an important person, he must have an extremely careful plan, otherwise once the flaws are revealed. , it is difficult for anyone to bear the revenge of the Golden Sabre Tantai family.

Qi Ning had just arrived, and knew that it would be fantastic to find the flaws easily.

Although the suicide scene of Tantai Zhilin and Mrs. Tantai was indeed impeccable, before he left the capital, Qi Ning knew that the case was very strange. He believed in the judgment of the old master of the golden knife, and his intuition also told him Tantai Zhilin death is not easy.

Intuition cannot replace facts. He knew in his heart that if the East China Sea were to investigate the case aggressively, it would only make things worse. From the first day he stepped into the East China Sea, he began to search for fragments of this incident, only Collecting these broken pieces can restore the truth of the matter.

The next day, Qi Ning fell asleep.

The bigger the challenge, the more energy and stamina you need to maintain, and the more you need to maintain a calm and calm state of mind.

Several officials from the Ministry of Punishment brought from the capital, since the first day they determined that Tantai Zhilin had committed suicide, they have all become bored and idle. Lord Butang led them to investigate Tantai Zhilin’s suicide case, but when he returned to Beijing, he didn’t know anything, and Lord Butang didn’t say anything.

Wei Yujiang had a lot of doubts about this case from the beginning, and he also wanted to investigate further, but the bodies of Tantai Zhilin and his wife had already been put into the coffin. In addition, he had almost no clues that could be used, and there was no breakthrough. It’s really difficult.

At noon, Qi Ning sent someone to call Wei Yujiang over to have a meal together. Wei Yujiang hurriedly packed up and entered the small hall. Seeing that Qi Ning was waiting and was about to salute, he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw Wu Dalin in a hurry. come.

Wu Dalin took the wind while walking and passed by Wei Yujiang. He didn’t have time to say hello. He bowed to Qi Ning and said, “Master Hou, General Shen has sent someone to report an urgent matter.”

Qi Ning wanted to take the time to eat at noon to see if Wei Yujiang still thought of any useful clues. Hearing Wu Dalin’s report, he immediately thought of something, and said solemnly, “Where is the person?”

“Just wait outside the door!”

“Let him in!”

Wu Dalin went out and called the man to come in. The man was dressed in light clothes and seemed to deliberately conceal his identity as an officer and soldier. After entering the door, he knelt on the ground and said, “Qi, Lord Qi, on the order of General Shen, there is an urgent military report!” He took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands. Wei Yujiang immediately took it and presented it to Qi Ning. Qi Ning reached out and took it, quickly opened the letter, glanced at it, put the letter in his arms, got up and said: “Wu Dalin, prepare the horse!”

Wei Yujiang originally wanted to inquire about the content of the letter, but when he thought that Hou Ye didn’t take the initiative to say it, he really couldn’t ask more, Wu Dalin agreed and was about to leave, Qi Ning stopped and said, “Bring ten quick brothers with me. Go, and the rest stay at the inn.”

Wu Dalin stepped back, and Wei Yujiang thought that when Lord Hou went out these days, it was nothing more than asking Wu Dalin to bring two or three people to follow, but this time he had to mobilize ten people to go together. It seems that the matter is no trivial matter. Ning already said: “Wei Sishen, you stay at the inn to take care of you. Without my permission, other people are not allowed to step out of the inn. I will tell you the details when I come back.”

Wei Yujiang surrendered and said yes, seeing Qi Ning’s serious expression, he was puzzled.

Wu Dalin ordered Qi’s staff. Qi Ning had already left the inn. No nonsense, he got on his horse and asked the messenger to lead the way. He led Wu Dalin and other ten tigers and wolves, and roared out like the autumn wind swept leaves.

A group of people went out from the east gate of Gulin City without stopping, and the horses were flying like flying along the way.

The East China Sea Naval Camp is more than 20 miles east of Gulin City, and the fast horse is less than a column of incense. Looking at the past, the first thing that catches the eye is the flag fluttering in the wind. It is an endless barracks, under the sun, extremely spectacular.

The navy camp is still several miles away from the sea, and the ground is still mud, so the barracks are not tents, but wooden houses built. There are barb wood fences around the barracks. , There are two big flagpoles standing at the gate of Yuanmen, with a flag flying on the top, one side is the Chu character flag, and the other side is a golden sword flag. Only this one, no semicolons.

Outside the courtyard gate, there are five guards in armor on the left and right, with guns in one hand and saber in the other, like ten stone sculptures.

Before Qi Ning entered the camp, he felt a chilling air blowing towards his face, and he secretly applauded in his heart. He had to admit that Tantai Zhilin did have extraordinary talents in commanding the army, and he was indeed a famous general of the Da Chu Shao Zhuang faction.

Although it was still a few miles away from the sea, Qi Ning was able to see the masts of the warships on the sea from a distance while riding on a horse. Countless masts stood up to the sky like spears, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, Qi Ning and the others slowed down their horses, and the messenger who led the way called out. The ten guards immediately fell to one knee on the ground. With a flick of the horse’s reins, Wu Dalin and his party rushed into the East China Sea Naval Camp.
