Qin Yuege looked solemn and said respectfully: "The Marquis is wise. Who is behind this island? Even if he doesn't say anything about his humble position, the Marquis knows it in his heart."
"Qin Yuege, from the beginning to the end, you were in the old maze and deceived me here. Aren't you afraid of me being held accountable?" Qi Ning said coldly: "The blind fortune teller I met on the street is naturally the same. You arrange?"
"Yes!" Qin Yuege did not shy away and said respectfully: "The Marquis has just arrived in the East China Sea and everything is unclear. I can only make this decision due to my humble position. I hope I can provide more information to the Marquis."
"Provide information?" Qi Ning snorted coldly: "You are pretending to be a ghost. If you really want to provide information to me, wouldn't it be easier to write a document?"
Qin Yuege shook his head and said: "Master Hou, until now, the Marquis may not have complete trust in Beizhi. If Beizhi just gave a letter to the Marquis with nothing, how could the Marquis believe the words of Beizhi? The matter in the East China Sea is intricately linked. The current situation in the East China Sea is like a torch placed on an oil drum. If you are not careful, it will cause a huge fire, which is definitely not something you want to see."
"You said that I don't believe you?" Qin Ning smiled faintly: "I'm afraid it's you Qin Facao who doesn't believe in me, right?"
"Since the Marquis said so, Beizhi will not hide it." Qin Yuege nodded and said: "Before the Marquis came to Donghai, although Beizhi had heard a little about the reputation of the Marquis, he did not understand what kind of person the Marquis was. . Several big families in the East China Sea are on good terms with many officials in the court. It is impossible to determine how many people these big families have made friends with in the court even if they are lowly. Money is a good thing, and the most important thing for the Jiang family is money. Back then, the Jiang family could Taking over maritime trade, and then being able to obtain permission from the imperial court to form a maritime guard force on our own, how could we achieve our goal if money were not flowing like water into the hands of many officials in the DPRK?"
Qi Ning sneered: "So you are worried that the Jinyi Qi family has also received money from the Jiang family?"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable." Qin Yuege sighed: "Some people who could not have been bribed were eventually bribed, so I have to be careful in my humble position."
"You asked the blind fortune teller to lead me to Zuiliu Pavilion and find the girl Tingxiang. Of course, the purpose is to let me know that there is a person who often goes to visit Tingxiang." Qining stared at Qin Yuege's eyes: "Tingxiang That eldest brother happened to appear in Zuiliu Pavilion before Governor Tantai committed suicide, so I guessed at that time that that eldest brother must be related to the death of Governor Tantai."
Qin Yuege said: "Have you already guessed who that person is?"
"I really couldn't guess at the beginning." Qi Ning said: "I even guessed that Miss Tingxiang's eldest brother is the Governor of Tantai? The Governor of Tantai has always been very low-key. He stays in the military all year round. "Although everyone in the East China Sea knows the name of the Grand Governor, there are not many people who know the Grand Governor. If a person is too stressed and doesn't want to tell the people around him, it is naturally possible to relax and reduce stress alone." He paused. After a pause, he shook his head and said, "But Miss Tingxiang's description of the eldest brother's appearance and body shape didn't match, so I gave up this idea."
Qin Yuege nodded slightly and said: "We know that when the Marquis sees Miss Tingxiang, he will definitely try his best to get some clues from her. Miss Tingxiang is simple and simple, so of course it will be easy for the Marquis to know what he needs to know from her. secret."
"So later I wondered whether that eldest brother might be the black tiger shark who became famous at sea." Qi Ning said slowly: "From Miss Tingxiang's description, it is not impossible that there is such a possibility . Moreover, Black Tiger Shark was able to subdue all kinds of pirates on the sea in a short period of time, so his ability was naturally extraordinary. He dared to lead the pirates to confront the Donghai Navy at every turn, and his courage was naturally unparalleled. If we say that he landed alone and entered Gulin City , I don’t find it strange.”
Qin Yuege said: "Black Tiger Shark will definitely be honored if he hears such praise from Lord Marquis."
"If that eldest brother is really Black Tiger Shark, things will be very interesting." Qining said: "The last time Black Tiger Shark saw Tingxiang, when he left, he said that he was going to meet someone, and that he was going to live and die. Uncertain... I have been thinking, who is the person who can make the black tiger shark risk his own safety? The black tiger shark is so bold, who can make the black tiger shark fearful on the ground of the East China Sea? "
"Of course the Marquis has thought of it a long time ago!"
Qi Ning said: "After much thought, I concluded that there is only one possibility. The person Black Tiger Shark wants to meet is naturally Tantai Zhilin, the Commander-in-Chief of the East China Sea Navy!"
Qin Yuege raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Hou is so wise that he has actually thought of this."
"It's not that I'm smart, but that I later connected the clues I got with the previous ones and got this judgment." Qining said: "As far as I know, the Governor just returned to the Governor's Mansion to accompany his children in those few days. Everything was fine for the first two days, but on the third day, the Governor was full of worries all day long, and he suddenly committed suicide that night... In other words, something must have happened the night before he committed suicide. This caused the governor’s mood to change drastically.”
Qin Yuege nodded slightly and asked, "Does the Marquis know what happened to the Governor the night before, so that his mood changed drastically?"
Qi Ning said: "The night before committing suicide, the Governor of Tantai went to the study after dinner, and did not come out until nearly midnight." Qi Ning said slowly, this information was obtained from the mouth of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion. After learning, he believed that he was not wrong: "During this period of time, the lights in the Governor's study were always on, and when Governor Tantai was in the study, no one in the mansion dared to disturb him, so even the Governor Mr. Hou of the Mansion also thought that the Governor had been in the study and had not left."
"That night, the Governor was indeed in a trap." Qin Yuege said: "The Governor was going to meet someone that night, and he had an appointment in advance. That meeting must not be known to outsiders, so the Governor deliberately made it known The light in the study is shining, but the person has actually left."
Qi Ning did not ask why Qin Yuege knew all this, but continued: "Being so careful, the person the Governor met is certainly not trivial, and what the two of them want to talk about is certainly not simple." Looking around, he He said slowly: "Originally, I have been thinking about what kind of news the Governor heard that night. Now I understand that if nothing else happens, Black Tiger Shark made an appointment with the Governor of Tantai that night, and even sent Haifeng to the meeting. I informed the Grand Governor about the hidden weapons on the island."
"Master Marquis, do you think it was Black Tiger Shark who revealed this matter to the Governor?" Qin Yuege asked.
Qi Ning said: "Black Tiger Shark has been controlling the bandits in the East China Sea for more than two years, and has become the most powerful force in the East China Sea. His subordinates are all desperadoes who have been at sea for many years. Naturally, the court will try their best to use these people. There are ways to eradicate it, but... if someone deliberately conspires to rebel, how can we ignore the existence of this force?"
"Master Hou is saying that the rebels want to bribe the Black Tiger Shark?"
Qi Ning said calmly: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If someone wants to rebel in the East China Sea, they have to consider the existence of the Donghai Navy. They cannot deal with the Donghai Navy. Not to mention fighting against the East China Sea, they may not even be able to get out of Gulin City. He glanced at the silent shadow with a vague look: "As far as I know, in the past two years, Black Tiger Shark has commanded the pirates and has not plundered the people along the coast too much. On the contrary, he has always been in contact with the East China Sea." The division is the enemy, and since it is the enemy of the Donghai Navy, of course it is the target of rebellion."
Qin Yuege said: "Master Hou is saying that Black Tiger Shark is actually a group of rebels? If that is the case, then why did Black Tiger Shark secretly meet with the Governor of Tantai? Previously, Black Tiger Shark and Donghai Navy were at odds with each other. There is no room for irreconcilable power, so why would the news of rebellion be revealed to the Grand Governor of Tantai? This seems to make no sense from a rational point of view."
Qi Ning sighed: "It really doesn't make sense. Since fire and water are incompatible, why can we meet in secret? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Black Tiger Shark? Qin Facao, you are good at criminal investigation. Help me judge what is in this gourd." Why?"
"Master Marquis, is it possible that Black Tiger Shark learned that someone was planning to rebel, and had insight into this plan, so he used this as a bargaining chip to ask for rewards from the Governor of Tantai!" Qin Yuege said: "After all, people like Black Tiger Shark If a person can surrender to the court and provide important evidence of rebellion, the court will naturally not treat him badly."
Qining shook his head and smiled: "I only suspect that the evidence of rebellion in the hands of Black Tiger Shark is simply insufficient."
"oh?"
"If you want to raise troops to rebel in the East China Sea, this is not a child's play, but a matter of the head of an ethnic group." Qining said: "It is already under surveillance, and there are imperial troops stationed nearby, no matter who it is If they want to rebel, they must be careful every step they take, and they dare not make any negligence. Even if they win over Black Tiger Shark, they will never reveal anything to Black Tiger Shark before they are completely sure that Black Tiger Shark is one of their own. Information that should not be revealed, in other words, even if Black Tiger Shark really intends to join forces to rebel, both rebels will hide something from the other before they actually take action, and neither will leave their fate in the hands of the other."
Qin Yuege nodded slightly and asked, "Since Black Tiger Shark doesn't have much evidence of rebellion, what will he give to the Governor of Tantai when he has a secret meeting?"
"Although the two parties will not really tell the truth, there should be nothing wrong with Black Tiger Shark being attracted by others." Qining said: "If I were Black Tiger Shark, I would not agree immediately, but I would not reject it immediately, but Therefore, I also know that there are indeed people in the East China Sea who intend to rebel. In this case, Black Tiger Shark will of course do everything possible to search for some signs of rebellion and learn as much as possible about the secrets. The more he knows, the more natural his trump card will be at the critical moment. The bigger it is." He put his hands on his back and looked around before saying: "Of course Qin Facao was not the first to discover the secret of this Haifeng Island. You yourself said that you were not involved in this matter for a long time, but It took nearly two years to build the tunnel leading to the warehouse, so before that, the secret of Haifeng Island had already been discovered."
"Master Hou is saying...?"
"Black Tiger Shark!" Qining looked at the black figure, with a calm expression, and said word by word: "The person who wants to expose this major rebellion is of course you. I don't know if my guess is right, Black Tiger Shark ?”
