Xin Ci's eyes were filled with fire and his voice was cold and stern: "Did you have bad intentions when you followed the crown prince to the East China Sea?"

"If I had bad intentions, Tantai Zhilin would not be alive today." Shen Liangqiu snorted coldly: "When I first came to the East China Sea, I still had high hopes. I hoped that I could work hard in the East China Sea and let the court know about my true intentions. Ability." Staring at Qi Ning, he said loudly: "But after so many years, although I have been making suggestions and managing the Donghai Navy in an orderly manner, its combat effectiveness is not even inferior to that of the Dongqi Navy, but what reward does the imperial court give me? ?”

Qi Ning sighed: "Do you have resentment against the imperial court?"

"Qining, you were destined to inherit the title of Marquis of Jinyi when you were born. Of course you don't understand the pain of people like us." Shen Liangqiu clenched a fist with one hand and looked coldly: "Everyone praises Dan for how the navy has become what it is today. Tai Zhilin commanded the troops well. Everywhere he went, he heard the words that a tiger father has no dog son, but who mentioned a word about me? Aren't the training of the navy army and every deployment of suppressing bandits all the same? I was the one who planned it, but every time the court received a reward, only Tantai Zhilin was awarded. I have been working under him for many years, and I have been suffering in the military camp day and night, but who in the court has said a word for me? "

Qi Ning said: "Do you want to get a knighthood?"

"That's what I deserve." Shen Liangqiu said: "The Donghai Navy is controlled by the Tantai family. I know that the position of Grand Governor is not up to me, but why is the court not even willing to award me a title? I assist Tan. Tai Zhilin has been here for so many years, why don’t the Tantai family say a word for me? All the achievements are attributed to the Tantai family, and I, a dog, don’t even have the right to bark twice." He raised his head and shouted. He smiled and said: "Later, I finally figured it out. No matter how well I did, in the eyes of the Tantai family, I was only worthy of being a dog. There was only one reason. My father died too early, and I had no choice in the court." No matter how hard I try, I will never be looked upon by the court."

Qi Ning frowned and said: "An ungrateful person will always find many excuses." Shen Liangqiu took a step forward slowly, and Shen Liangqiu immediately became alert and said in a deep voice: "Qining, do you think you are helping the Tantai family find out the truth? , they will be grateful to you? If it hadn't been for you, Jin Yi Qi Jia, Jin Dao Tantai would still be so majestic now, and the people of Tantai family would not have a good impression of you, Jin Yi Qi Jia."

"Whether it is Tantai with a golden sword or a family with golden clothes, there is only one flag flying above the head, and that is Da Chu." Qi Ning said lightly: "Shen Liangqiu, no matter what your reasons are, at least you admit that the Governor is Being harmed by you, it seems that my guess is not wrong."

"Guess?" Shen Liangqiu was startled, and raised his head suddenly. He stood on the side of the ship, condescendingly looking down at the ship not far away, staring at the woman on the bow, and said sternly: "You said everything was your fault. Can you guess it?"

Qi Ning sighed: "Do you think she confessed all this? I might as well tell you the truth. She didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but I know what you did. But it's just empty talk, so I won't give it to you. I really expected everything you did and told everyone exactly as it was, but if you refuse to admit it, I really can’t come up with conclusive evidence." A sly smile appeared on his lips: "I Always looking for that last piece of the puzzle, because I know very well that when you find that last piece of the puzzle, everything you do will reveal itself.”

Shen Liangqiu was dumbfounded. Soon, an annoyed and fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Jin Yihou, I didn't expect that your mind is so cunning."

"Actually, you blame yourself for all this." Qi Ning said calmly: "Character determines destiny. The Tantai family was kind to you, but you were so evil-hearted that you killed the governor. Naturally, there will be no people like you What about trust? You don’t have anyone you trust in this world, and you are always suspicious. As long as I tell you what you did, when you see her, your first thought will be that she confessed everything, and in your heart Naturally, I understand that with her as my witness, no matter how much you quibble, it will be useless, so this is why the true colors are exposed."

Many people present were confused and wondered who that woman was, and how powerful she was

At this time, they saw Mo Yanbai waving over there, and then someone took the woman off the bow. Everyone was even more surprised. They thought Qining would let the woman come over to testify, but they didn't want to just take her off. But he also thought that Shen Liangqiu's true identity would be revealed, and hundreds of people present could hear it clearly, and everyone was a witness, so there was no need to let the woman come over again.

"What a trick...!" Shen Liangqiu laughed wildly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Qining, do you think everything is over like this? Hahaha... It won't be long before you know the final truth...!"

The corners of Qi Ning's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt that Shen Liangqiu's words were not simple. He took a step forward, frowned and asked, "The final truth? Shen Liangqiu, what does that mean?"

"It's not interesting." Shen Liangqiu smiled strangely, "Don't worry, you will never be disappointed in the end." After saying that, he suddenly turned around and jumped like an eagle from the side of the ship into the sea.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ting shouted loudly: "Hurry, arrest him quickly...!"

Now that the truth has been revealed and the real culprit has been revealed, if Shen Liangqiu is allowed to escape at this time, Chen Ting knows that the consequences will be disastrous.

The East China Sea is vast, and Shen Liangqiu is a naval general. He has been in the East China Sea for more than ten years, and naturally has excellent water skills. If he just escapes from the sea, it will not be easy to catch him again.

Chen Ting shouted, and all the officials on the ship were busy and pretending. None of these officials were familiar with water properties. Even if someone was really familiar with water properties, who would dare to jump into the sea to catch Shen Liangqiu, and there were many people on the ship who were proficient in water properties. , there were hundreds of East China Sea sailors on the warship. These sailors had been trained for a long time and were naturally familiar with the water. However, after Chen Ting gave the order, none of the sailors moved. Some sailors looked at their companions and ignored them if their companions did not move. move.

Shen Liangqiu has been in charge of the navy for more than ten years. In the eyes of the navy officers and soldiers, he is a man of outstanding ability and majesty. Today, there is a sudden change. Although these sailors are horrified, they don't know how to deal with it, let alone Should he arrest his own general

At this moment, I saw a figure in the crowd who was very strong and vigorous, running towards the side of Shen Liangqiu's boat jumping into the sea like a cheetah.

Someone could see clearly that it was Mo Yanbai. Mo Yanbai had his hands tied behind his back, but he somehow managed to break free. Everyone's attention was focused on Shen Liangqiu just now, and no one went there. Pay attention to Mo Yanbai. No one saw when he broke free from the rope.

Mo Yanbai was so agile that he jumped onto the side of the ship like a cheetah. Without any hesitation, he spread his arms and jumped into the sea.

Everyone immediately stepped forward, lay down on the side of the ship, and looked into the sea. At this time, everyone had already forgotten their identities. Chen Ting finally squeezed in, but he immediately thought of something, turned around, and saw When Qi Ning was behind him, he hurriedly pushed the people on both sides aside and shouted: "Everyone, give way and make room for the Marquis."

At this time, everyone thought that Jin Yihou was here and hurriedly opened a gap. Qining smiled faintly and walked to the side of the ship.

It was calm today, and the sea was calm. Only the waves that Mo Yanbai made when he entered the sea were still spreading around. Everyone was staring at the sea, wanting to see what the situation was like.

Wu Dalin also knew that something had happened here, and he had already sailed a small boat with several guards and paddled closer to the place where the incident occurred.

The sea was calm. Mo Yanbai and Shen Liangqiu had already submerged into the sea. No one on the boat knew what was going on under the water.

Qi Ning looked very calm. He knew that once Mo Yanbai caught up with Shen Liangqiu underwater, it would be a life and death battle. This was also the fulfillment of his promise and he agreed to Mo Yanbai's request in advance.

Mo Yanbai boarded the ship to complain today, and it was naturally planned by Qi Ning.

Qi Ning knew that he wanted to uncover the murder case of Tantai Zhilin, so it would be inappropriate for him to directly argue with Shen Liangqiu face to face. Using Mo Yanbai could make the matter smoother. Although Mo Yanbai knew that there was a risk of boarding the ship to complain. It was a huge risk, but we still cooperated with Qining to complete this plan.

After Qi Ning came to Donghai, he slowly outlined the truth of the case in his mind through clues, but he never dared to be sure that his judgment must be the truth. Until he found the last piece of the puzzle, the entire case would surface, and Qi Ning Ning also fully understood the cause and effect of the case, but before opening Tantai Zhilin's coffin, there were still variables. Once Tantai Zhilin in the coffin did commit suicide by hanging from the beam, then what would happen to Mo Yanbai today? The situation will be extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, everything went as Qining expected, and Shen Liangqiu finally revealed his true colors.

Mo Yanbai cooperated with Qi Ning's plan because he believed in Qi Ning's ability, but the most important reason was because Qi Ning promised that after Shen Liangqiu was exposed, Mo Yanbai would understand the personal feud between the two.

Today's results were within Qining's expectations.

Qi Ning knew that Shen Liangqiu had been in the East Sea Navy for many years, and the officers and soldiers under his command were in awe of him. If something unexpected happened, Shen Liangqiu would probably rebel on the spot. He had many soldiers, and if he really wanted to fight head-on, the consequences would be disastrous. , I am afraid that all the officials present today will not be spared, but Qining understands better that compared to Shen Liangqiu, the awe of the Tantai family in the hearts of the Donghai Navy is unparalleled. Once Shen Liangqiu's treacherous plot is exposed, the officers and soldiers will know The chief governor was murdered by Shen Liangqiu. These officers and soldiers would definitely not obey Shen Liangqiu's orders, otherwise it would be a serious crime of treason.

Because of this, Qi Ning deliberately revealed the truth in front of all the officials and navy officers and soldiers. Shen Liangqiu naturally could not have thought in advance that Qi Ning would do something like this at today's funeral. He was caught off guard, and in the end he could only It's true.
