The man laughed strangely and asked, "My lord, do you really dare to risk your life and wealth to ensure that the Governor hangs himself from a beam and dies?"
He was full of energy, and when he spoke, he had an unquestionable momentum. The official from the Ministry of Justice opened his mouth slightly, but did not dare to answer any more words.
However, Wei Yujiang looked solemn and said: "He is not wrong. I was also present at the time, and I did not find any other fatal wounds on the Governor's body."
"Master Marquis, I dare you to ask, common people, there are many ways to commit suicide, why is the scene arranged to hang from a beam to commit suicide?" The man said sternly: "The Governor is a brave general who fought in the north and south, why did he choose this way? Is it similar to the way a weak person commits suicide?"
When everyone heard this, they became even more attentive and focused their attention on this person.
This person's doubts obviously won the hearts of everyone present.
Tantai Zhilin Wuxun family, when mentioning Jin Dao Tantai, what people think of is the iron horse Jin Ge. It is really hard to imagine that the eldest son of the Jin Dao Tantai family would end up in such a bizarre way as hanging from a beam. own life.
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "This is indeed something strange about me. Can you explain it?"
But the man pointed to Fu Chuan and said: "All the answers are in the coffin of the Governor. As long as you open the coffin and take a look at the body of the Governor, everyone present will know the truth clearly."
Everyone present looked at each other, and Shen Liangqiu snorted coldly and said: "It is unreasonable to open the coffin of the Grand Governor just because of your unfounded remarks here." Xiang Qining cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, the time has passed. It's time for the Governor's funeral. We must not delay it any longer." He raised his hand and said in a cold voice: "Here, please take this person down first and wait for interrogation later."
After hearing Shen Liangqiu's instructions, the sailor immediately wanted to pull the man down, but Qi Ning said coldly: "No one is allowed to move!"
Shen Liangqiu's face turned even colder, and he frowned and said, "Master Marquis, is it necessary that the Governor's funeral should be delayed like this?"
"General Shen, this case involves the truth about the death of the Grand Governor. The purpose of my trip to the East China Sea is to investigate the death of the Grand Governor in accordance with the imperial decree." Qi Ning looked sternly, staring into Shen Liangqiu's eyes and said: "Now Since someone has provided clues, should I ignore it? If it reaches the court, wouldn't the emperor want to punish me for dereliction of duty?" His eyes were sharp, like a wolf that had found its prey.
Shen Liangqiu was stared at by Qin Ning's dagger-like eyes. She felt a chill running down her spine and realized something.
"General Xin, you have followed the old marquis for many years. You should know that the old marquis values reputation more than life." Shen Liangqiu looked at Xin Ci and still remained calm: "On the day when the governor was buried at sea, he came for some reason. I killed a person, said some incomprehensible words, and delayed the governor's funeral. If this matter spreads, how will the Jindao Tantai family gain a foothold in the world? General Xin, should you uphold justice at this time?"
"General Shen, the old Marquis naturally attaches great importance to reputation." Xin Ci said calmly: "But if the cause of the death of the Grand Governor can be found out, the old Marquis will not mind the delay in the funeral."
"So, Lord Marquis and General Xin actually believed what this man said?" Shen Liangqiu sneered: "Do you think that the death of the Grand Governor is really related to me?"
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "General Shen, there is no need to be excited or anxious. I have never said that you are the murderer who killed the governor. Everything is just under investigation." Looking at the man, he said: "I am right. Everything he said was heard but not believed. Everything must be based on facts. If there is evidence, I will naturally believe the facts. If there is no evidence, then this person is slandering the general of the DPRK. I will never give up."
Shen Liangqiu sneered: "This person wants to open the coffin of the Grand Governor. Could it be that the Marquis also allows it?"
"What do you think, General Shen?" Qining asked.
Shen Liangqiu shook his head and said, "Absolutely not allowed."
The man smiled and said: "General Shen, why are you so afraid of opening the coffin? Are you worried that what I said is true?"
"It has nothing to do with truth or falsehood." Shen Liangqiu said: "I will never let anyone disturb the peace of the Grand Governor, and I will never let you desecrate the Grand Governor's coffin just because of your nonsense."
Qi Ning looked grim, and Xin Ci finally asked the big man: "You sued General Shen today, saying that he killed the governor, and you know so much about the situation at the scene of the incident. What is your background?"
"That's right." Shen Liangqiu said immediately: "This person's origin is unknown. He is definitely not a commoner. We must find out where he comes from and who ordered him."
The big man raised his head and burst into laughter. All the officials present frowned, thinking that this man was really arrogant, to be so arrogant in front of Jin Yihou and many officials.
"General Shen, do you really don't recognize me anymore?" The big man turned around and faced Shen Liangqiu face to face, his eyes filled with deep hatred: "Look carefully again!"
Shen Liangqiu frowned and stared at the big man's face, obviously not recognizing it for a moment.
"It's no wonder. More than ten years have passed and I've been through many hardships. I'm really different from back then." The big man said with a strange smile on his lips: "It's just the sword skills that General Shen taught me back then. Even today, I still remember them. It's still new, the six moves before and after, I have practiced it a lot over the years, now that I think about it, General Shen's six moves are indeed very mysterious."
"Sword skills?" Shen Liangqiu was startled. He opened his eyes slightly and stared at the man's eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and a look of horror appeared on his face. He couldn't help but take two steps back and said in a voiceless voice: "It's... it's you!"
Qi Ning watched with cold eyes. When he heard Shen Liangqiu's words, a sneer immediately appeared on his lips.
The man who boarded the ship today to sue Shen Liangqiu was, of course, Black Tiger Shark Mo Yanbai.
Mo Yanbai told Qining what Shen Liangqiu did that year, and Qining believed it 80%. Shen Liangqiu's reaction at this time convinced Qining that what Mo Yanbai told him before was indeed true.
Shen Liangqiu's reaction proved that he did know Mo Yanbai, and he had indeed taught Mo Yanbai the swordsmanship back then.
Everyone around them didn't know what the relationship between the two was for a while, and they were all at a loss, but almost everyone could see that Shen Liangqiu and this person had obviously known each other for a long time.
Seeing that Shen Liangqiu finally recognized him, Mo Yanbai laughed again and said: "General Shen really still remembers me. General Shen, thinking of his old friendship, asked our brothers to come to Donghai from Hengyang and gave us the opportunity to make great achievements. The opportunity gave us to destroy the pirates, but it was a pity that our brothers failed to live up to the expectations and fell into the trap of the pirates. My brother died tragically at the hands of the pirates, and I also narrowly escaped death." The smile on his face was extremely weird: "I am here today to express my gratitude to the pirates. General Shen apologizes, we failed to complete the mission, I wonder how General Shen plans to punish me?"
Everyone could tell that Mo Yanbai's tone was full of ridicule, but these words made many people even more confused, wondering whether this person was once Shen Liangqiu's subordinate
The moment Shen Liangqiu recognized Mo Yanbai, his face was filled with shock, but in an instant it turned into a cold and stern expression, and he said sternly: "It is indeed you. I sent you to suppress the bandits back then, but you were so negligent that you actually Defeat. I thought you all had sacrificed your life for the country, but I didn’t expect you to live in an ignoble way." He shouted, "Someone, take him down!"
Mo Yanbai laughed and said, "I've been tied up like this by you, so why do you need to take me down again?"
"Master Marquis, everyone, this man was once a soldier of the Navy. He failed to complete his mission and became a deserter." Shen Liangqiu said loudly: "This man came here today because he must have resentment towards me, so he came here." It will confuse right and wrong." He yelled: "Escape from battle and engage in military law. I will run the army strictly and will not be lenient. I will pull him down and chop him down."
Several sailors were about to pull Mo Yanbai down. Qi Ning said calmly: "I have said that no one can act rashly without my orders." His eyebrows tightened, and his face was frosty: "I have nothing to say. Good for you?"
His voice was not very ferocious, but his few words still made everyone's hearts tremble. Several sailors did not dare to move rashly and looked at Shen Liangqiu.
Shen Liangqiu said in a deep voice: "Master Marquis, this person was once a soldier of the Donghai Navy. If he violates military law, he must be dealt with according to military law. The humble general is now in charge of the navy, and it is his duty to exercise his authority. The marquis should not interfere with the humble general. Enforcement, right?”
Everyone present was shocked, secretly thinking that Shen Liangqiu was quite courageous and had actually gone toe-to-toe with Jin Yihou.
Jinyihou is one of the four hereditary princes in the Chu Kingdom, and is equal to Jindao Tantai in terms of title. Although Shen Liangqiu is in charge of the navy, he is just a naval deputy. Speaking to Jinyihou in this tone is already The following guilty.
However, according to the laws of the Chu State, although Jin Yihou has a distinguished status, he has no right to interfere with the Donghai Navy. Otherwise, he will be responsible for exceeding his authority. Interfering easily with the army has always been a taboo of the imperial court.
"General Shen, if you want to enforce military law, I will naturally not interfere. However, the cause of the death of the Governor is currently being investigated. If you execute him now, how will the case be investigated?" Qi Ning said coldly.
Shen Liangqiu said: "The general knows that if this person is executed at this time, people will think that the general is killing someone to silence him. But military law is military law, and the navy has always made rewards and punishments clear. Even if he is misunderstood, the general has nothing to fear. "
Qi Ning sighed: "So, do you have to kill him now?"
"Exactly." Shen Liangqiu had already broken up with Qi Ning: "Military law is ruthless and there is no room for negotiation. Someone comes and drags him down...!"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Ning took out a roll of brocade silk from his sleeve, raised his hand, and said: "This is the holy decree, who dares to act rashly!"
When everyone's eyes fell on the yellow brocade silk, it all changed color. Shen Liangqiu was also shocked. Qining handed the brocade silk to Wei Yujiang beside him. Wei Yujiang naturally understood that it was the same, took it with both hands, unfolded it, and said loudly. : "I ordered Jin Yihou Qining to go to the East China Sea to investigate the suicide case of the Navy Commander Tantai Zhilin. Jin Yihou is in the East China Sea. With this secret order, he can mobilize all troops and horses under the East China Sea. Anyone who violates will not be spared. I appreciate this! "
