Tian Xuerong had someone prepare water and help Qining take a bath. Qining felt the lady's gentleness and obedience. When he was moved, he had to pull this beautiful woman into the bathtub again, making her whole body soaked. People are naturally gentle and affectionate.
Thinking that there were important things at the Governor's Mansion, and after a hard night last night, the two of them only had a quick fight in the water. Afterwards, the lady dragged her limp body to help Qining change, and Qining put on soft clothes. After holding his wife tenderly for a moment, he went to the Governor's Mansion.
From last night to this morning, Hetian Xuerong, a mature and beautiful woman, had been acting wildly for several times, but Qining did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt refreshed and relaxed.
The distance between the Governor's Mansion and the Post House is not too far. After Qi Ning returned to the city last night, he went straight back to the Post House without paying much attention. On the way to the Governor's Mansion today, he really found that there were very few pedestrians, and the Governor's Mansion appeared on the street from time to time. Officers and soldiers patrolled by, and he knew that great changes had taken place in the East China Sea, and several major families were under the control of the government. The people in Gulin City naturally knew that the situation was tense, and in order to avoid harming Chiyu, they naturally stayed away if they could.
When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Chen Ting personally came out to greet him after the report. Because Qining was very gentle with his wife when he came. Although he was not too greedy, it still took a lot of time. It was already over. At noon, in addition to Chen Ting who came out to greet him personally, Xin Ci also arrived earlier than Qining and came out to greet him along with Chen Ting.
Welcoming into the Governor's Mansion, he went straight to the elegant hall in the backyard. Wine and food had been prepared here. After Qi Ning sat down, Chen Ting immediately ordered people to serve wine and food. This was the first time for Chen Ting to entertain Qi Ning, so the food and wine were also served. It is very rich. The dishes on the table are mostly seafood, and they are also equipped with fine wines produced locally in the East China Sea. There are only three people in the elegant hall. Qi Ning ordered all the servants serving around him to retreat. Chen Ting knew that Qin Ning was here today. Naturally, he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. The three giants gathered in the East China Sea naturally had something to discuss, so he ordered no one to come near the elegant hall, and he personally picked up the jug and poured wine for the two of them.
Chen Ting was the first to stand up and raise his glass and said: "Master Marquis, General Xin, the East China Sea has been turned from danger to safety, all thanks to the efforts of the two of you. I am here to respect you two, do it first as a token of respect!" He raised his neck and drank the glass of wine in one go. .
Qin Ning and Xin Ci also held cups and drank them all in one gulp.
After sitting down, Qi Ning got straight to the point and said with a smile: "Master Chen, General Xin, the three of us are here today. It's not a celebration. Jiang Yishui has not been arrested yet. As long as we can't catch him for a day, it won't be considered a victory." , so the celebration wine will have to wait for a few days. As I sit here today, I still have something to discuss with you two. "
Chen Ting and Xin Ci both knew very well that Qin Ning's gathering together today must not be a trivial matter, but they didn't know what Qin Ning would say, and they both looked at Qin Ning.
"Lord Chen just said that the East China Sea turned out to be safe this time because of the contributions of this Marquis and General Xin. Although this is not wrong, it is not correct either, because there are others whose contribution far exceeds that of this Marquis and General Xin." Qi Ning Han smiled and said, "Do you two know who the real hero of this incident is?"
Chen Ting and Xin Ci looked at each other, both curious. Logically speaking, Qi Ning's contribution was definitely second to none and unmatched. However, Qi Ning claimed that there was one person whose contribution far exceeded him. Neither of them could guess for a moment. Who is Qining talking about
Qi Ning smiled slightly and said: "General Xin, others don't know it, but you don't know it? The real hero of this time is the old Marquis of Jin Dao!"
Xin Ci and Chen Ting were both stunned, but neither of them were ordinary people. They knew that Qin Ning's words were definitely not simple. They couldn't figure out Qin Ning's method for a while, and Chen Ting just said "Oh" After two sentences, Xin Ci remained calm and pretended to make a deep hum.
"Master Chen, you may not know something. Everything that happened in the East China Sea was actually planned by the old Marquis." Qi Ning said with a smile on his lips: "General Xin and I were just following the orders of the old Marquis. Just follow his old man’s pre-arranged instructions and act accordingly.”
Xin Ci was greatly surprised, and thought to himself, how could all this be the old Marquis's plan? He is a close confidant of the old Marquis Jindao, and he knows very well that the old Marquis is in the capital, but he is not very clear about everything that is happening in the East China Sea. As for Qining, he said that the old Marquis knows everything about the situation in the East China Sea, and has formulated The plan came out of nowhere, it was really groundless, there was no such thing.
"The old marquis already knows that the Donghai family intends to rebel, and also knows that Shen Liangqiu is suspicious." Qi Ning said slowly: "The old marquis did not act immediately. Firstly, he did not fully grasp their criminal evidence and plan. Secondly, We also need to make arrangements to eliminate this group of people.”
Chen Ting said "Oh" and sighed: "It turns out that everything is under the control of the old Marquis."
"In fact, the Grand Governor has been making careful arrangements. Black Tiger Shark has already secretly surrendered to the Grand Governor. Master Chen should know this by now." Qining sighed: "In fact, the Grand Governor has also mastered the Jiang family's pirate storage. Weapons, so the old marquis and the old marquis had already made a plan, but they never expected that Shen Liangqiu was so cruel that he would suddenly attack the governor. The great governor was killed, and the old marquis already knew that Shen Liangqiu did it, so the old marquis and The imperial court asked me to come to the East China Sea. In fact, according to the arrangements of the old marquis, I am here to command and exterminate the East China Sea family. General Xin was sent here to help me handle this matter." Looking at Xin Ci, he smiled half-heartedly. Said: "General Xin, is that what happened?"
Xin Ci looked confused, but responded quickly and immediately said: "Yes, what the Marquis said is true. I came to Donghai to follow the old Marquis's instructions and assist him in eradicating the rebellion of the Donghai family."
"I'm saying this so that we won't cover up the truth when we submit the document." Qi Ning said with a smile: "The document submitted to the court cannot be delayed any longer. Let the two of you be together today because we are preparing to serve as governor here. The government will draw up all three points, and then quickly send people to the capital. Although the situation here is generally stable, there are many things that will follow and we still need to ask the court for instructions on how to deal with them."
Chen Ting pondered for a moment, then said cautiously: "Master Hou, does the booklet...does it indicate that Old Master Jin Dao is strategizing behind all this?"
"This is natural." Qi Ning nodded with a smile: "The overall situation is under the plan of the old Marquis, and those of us are just following the arrangements. The arrangements of the old Marquis were not disclosed to the outside world, and only a few of us knew about it. , also to make the operation more secretive and ensure the success of this operation." After a pause, he said to Xin Ci: "General Xin, Mr. Chen also took the greatest credit this time. We were chasing the Jiang family at sea, and everyone in the city was Mr. Chen. With his single-handed command, the remnants of the Donghai Family were captured without causing too much commotion and unrest, all thanks to Mr. Chen."
Xin Ci was so shrewd that he immediately reacted and immediately said: "I deeply agree with what the Marquis said. Without Mr. Chen, this operation would not have gone so smoothly. I will prepare a detailed account of Mr. Chen's story in the brochure." Credit, I wonder what Lord Marquis thinks of it?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That is indispensable. I will also express Mr. Chen's contribution in the book."
There was a hint of joy in Chen Ting's brows, but he immediately held up his hands and said: "Master Hou, General Xin, the merits of this appointment are really not worth mentioning. The most important thing is that Master Hou and General Xin commanded well and acted vigorously and resolutely. The threat in the East China Sea was eliminated as quickly as possible. In the midst of the twists and turns, Xianguan not only had to tell the court that all this was the master plan of the old marquis, but also explained in detail the contributions of the marquis and General Xin. Yes, that black man Tiger Shark has been recruited by the Governor earlier, and he has also made great achievements this time, and I also want to report this to the court."
Xin Ci nodded and said: "Although Black Tiger Shark has made mistakes, the contribution he made this time is enough to offset his fault. It can even be said that the merits outweigh the faults. Mr. Hou, I will think that the merits of this Black Tiger Shark are also It’s time to report it to the court.”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "How to write the excerpt is up to you two." He said to Chen Ting: "Master Chen, I need to borrow a pen and paper later. I will write the excerpt here."
Chen Ting immediately said: "After Mr. Hou has had dinner, I will take you two to the study."
All three of them knew that this meal was not important, what was important was what was discussed at the dinner table.
Both Chen Ting and Xin Ci were greatly surprised by what Qi Ning said today. The first contribution this time was undisputed by Qi Ning, but in a few words, Qi Ning seemed to give away this huge contribution. Arrive at Jindao Tantai's house.
Chen Ting knew that there was something fishy in this, but he knew that if Qi Ning and Xin Ci insisted that this was the truth, he would have no room to refute, and he had no intention of refuting anything.
Although Qi Ning left his great achievements to the Jindao Tantai family, he also hinted that he would repay Chen Ting's merits to the court.
Chen Ting knew very well that if everything that happened in Donghai was reported according to the truth, he, the governor of Donghai, would definitely be implicated. The dignified governor of Donghai knew nothing about such a major rebellion in his jurisdiction. This alone would Enough for the court to severely punish him.
But in a few words, Qi Ning turned out that all of this was planned by the old Marquis of Jin Dao, and everyone was just following the arrangements of the old Marquis. If he told the court like this, then he would not exist. Some of the crimes of negligence were just due to the annihilation of the Donghai family. Not only was his position as the governor of Donghai secure, but he might also be rewarded by the imperial court.
Of course, Chen Ting couldn't ask for such a result.
Compared to Chen Ting, Xin Ci was even more surprised by what Qi Ning said, but also grateful.
The Donghai Navy has always been controlled by the Jindao Tantai family, and the first task of the Donghai Navy's existence is to monitor the movements of the Donghai family.
The Donghai family, headed by the Jiang family, built weapons on the island and bribed Shen Liangqiu, whom the Jindao Tantai family had always valued. If Donghai didn't know anything about all this, then the Jindao Tantai family knew nothing about it. , being so oblivious to the movements of the Donghai Family, once word spreads, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Jindao Tantai. Even if the conspiracy of the Donghai Family is extinguished, the Jindao Tantai Family will definitely face overwhelming criticism in the future. .
Among the four hereditary queens, the Sima family is the most powerful now. On the contrary, the Tantai family has kept a low profile for many years. If there is an opportunity to attack the Tantai family, the Sima family will naturally not show mercy. In the current situation of the court, as long as the Sima family If the Tantai family shows the slightest intention to attack the Tantai family, then the incident in the East China Sea is the best opportunity to launch an attack on the Tantai family. Even if the Tantai family can keep their title, the Donghai navy may not be able to keep it.
