Manager Hou is not a stupid person, he can be left in the East China Sea by the old Hou Ye to help the golden knife family, in fact, Manager Hou is a relatively shrewd person.

As soon as Qi Ning asked in a few words, Manager Hou faintly realized something, his face was a little pale, his expression was uneasy, and his voice trembled a little: "Master Hou, is it.... Do you mean .....? ”

"Don't think too much about it, boss." Qi Ning immediately said: "Before the truth is investigated, all our conjectures are not valid. I came to the boss tonight, just to learn as much as I could about the situation. ”

Manager Hou looked a little stunned and nodded mechanically.

"I remember you seem to have said that before the Metropolitan Governor committed suicide, he was not in a good mood and seemed to be very anxious." Qi Ning looked at the old manager: "But the old manager just said that the governor is in a good mood when he comes back this time, this is .....!" ”

Manager Hou explained: "Master Hou, in fact, during that time, the Metropolitan Governor was really in a bad mood. I wanted to stop talking, but after all, I still said: "The Metropolitan Governor suffered a loss under the hands of the pirates, he was very angry, and he was always in a depressed mood during those days, although after coming back, he would try his best to cover it up when he saw the little boy, but the old slave could see that the Metropolitan Governor was upset and had been angry. This time the Metropolitan Governor came back, and it was very different from before, the old slave..... The old slave only thought that the Metropolitan Governor had figured it out .....! ”

Qi Ning didn't say anything, and he didn't miss every word that Manager Hou said.

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

"What's wrong?"

"In the first two days, most of the governors accompanied the little prince to play together, and the lady was also accompanied by him, and their family of three rarely enjoyed the joy of family like that." Mr. Hou said: "The old slave only thought that everything had changed, and he was still happy in his heart, thinking about sending a letter to the old marquis, but ..... By the next morning, the Duke's face had become unpleasant, and he had been silent all day, looking like he had not given up. ”

"Soulless?"

Manager Hou nodded: "When he had dinner at noon that day, the old slave called him several times beside him, he didn't notice it, and when he was eating, he didn't speak, he kept drinking, and he drank alone for more than an hour, and the old slave persuaded him to stop, and he sat alone in the living room that afternoon, and he still didn't say a word, and sat until dinner, and he was drinking alone, and his wife also persuaded him, but the governor didn't seem to hear it, and after dinner, he went directly to the study. ”

"I see." Qi Ning thought for a moment and asked, "The Metropolitan Governor changed his attitude overnight, the old boss, the night before the Metropolitan Governor died, but he stayed in the mansion all the time?" He.... Did you go to meet anyone? ”

"Nope." Mr. Hou: "The Governor of the Metropolitan played with the little boy for a long time that day, and after dinner, he went to the study, and the old slave saw that the lights in his study were always on, and it was almost time, and the Governor came out of the study and never went out. ”

"You saw the Governor come out of his study?"

"Yes." Mr. Hou: "The Metropolitan Governor left the study before the latest before the child, and when I saw that night, I was afraid that the Metropolitan Governor had forgotten and wanted to go over to remind him, as soon as he entered the courtyard, the Metropolitan Governor came out of the study, and he didn't say anything, and went back to the house directly." ”

Qi Ning leaned back, leaned back in his chair, pondered for a long time, and finally got up and said: "Boss, it's late, you have been working day and night these days, you have to take care of your body more, or rest early." After looking at the wine jars all over the ground, he shook his head and said, "This wine ..... Still don't drink it. ”

Manager Hou also got up and said softly: "Master Hou, as long as you can find out the truth about the death of the Metropolitan Governor, no matter what you let the old slave do, 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 mood of the boss, don't worry, I will do my best to find out the truth of the matter, and there will definitely be places where the boss needs help in the future." He lowered his voice and said, "It's just that every word we say tonight, the boss must keep it secret, don't say it to a third person." ”

"Master Hou came over so late, the old slave already understood the meaning." Manager Hou looked solemn: "Don't worry, Master Hou, what you say tonight, the old slave will only be brought into the coffin." ”

Qi Ning knew that it would be fine if he just committed suicide, but if it was really premeditated, then this matter must be extraordinary.

Shantai Zhilin is the son of the Golden Knife, and he is also the Metropolitan Governor of the East China Sea, which can be regarded as the number one real power figure on the ground in the East China Sea.

Qi Ning was new to the city and knew that it was really whimsical to find the flaws easily.

Although the scene of the suicide of the Emperor and Mrs. Lady was indeed flawless, Qi Ning knew that this case was very strange before he left the capital, and he believed in the judgment of the old marquis of the Golden Knife, and his intuition also told him that the death of the Emperor was not simple.

Intuition is no substitute for the facts, he knows that if Donghai investigates this case aggressively, it will only make things worse, from the first day he stepped into Donghai, he began to look for fragments about this incident, and only by collecting these fragmented fragments can it be possible to restore the truth of the matter.

The next day, Qi Ning slept a lot.

The more you face big challenges, the more you need to keep your energy and physical strength abundant, and more importantly, to maintain a calm and calm mind.

Several officials of the Criminal Department brought from the capital, since the first day it was determined that the Lantai Zhilin committed suicide, they have also become bored and lazy and have nothing to do, without Qi Ning's orders, everyone did not dare to leave the post house, they only knew that the Lord of the Ministry led them to investigate the case of the suicide of the Lantai Zhilin, but when they returned to Beijing, they did not know anything, and the Lord of the Ministry did not say.

Wei Yujiang had many doubts about this case from the beginning, and he also wanted to investigate in depth, but the bodies of the Yutai Zhilin couple had already been put into the coffin, and in addition, there were almost no available clues in his hands, and there was no breakthrough to start, so it was really difficult to investigate in depth.

At noon, Qi Ning sent someone to call Wei Yujiang over to dine together, Wei Yujiang hurriedly cleaned up, entered the small hall, saw Qi Ning waiting, and was about to salute, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, turned around, but saw Wu Dalin coming in a hurry.

Wu Dalin walked with the wind, passed by Wei Yujiang, and didn't have time to say hello, so he bowed his hand to Qi Ning and said, "Master Hou, General Shen sent someone to report something urgent." ”

Qi Ning originally wanted to take advantage of the lunch time to see if Wei Yujiang thought of any useful clues, but when he heard Wu Dalin's report, he immediately thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Where are the people?" ”

"Just wait outside the door!"

"Let him in!"

Wu Dalin went out and called the man in, the man was dressed in light clothes, it seemed that he was deliberately trying to hide his identity as an officer and soldier, and after entering the door, he knelt on the ground: "Master 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 forwarded it to Qi Ning, Qi Ning reached out and took it, quickly opened the letter, swept his eyes, put the letter in his arms, got up and said: "Wu Dalin, prepare the horse!" ”

Wei Yujiang wanted to ask about the content of the letter, but when he thought that Hou Ye didn't take the initiative to say that he really couldn't ask more, Wu Dalin agreed, and he was about to retreat, Qi Ning stopped and said: "Bring ten brothers with me with me, and the rest will stay here at the post house." ”

Wu Dalin retreated, Wei Yujiang thought to himself that the Hou Ye had gone out these days, just to let Wu Dalin take two or three people to follow, but this time he had to mobilize ten people to go together, it seemed that the matter was not trivial, and before he could ask more, Qi Ning had already said: "Wei Sixian, you stay here to take care of the post house, without my permission, others are not allowed to step out of the post house half a step, I will tell you the details after I come back." ”

Wei Yujiang said yes, and when he saw Qi Ning's grim expression, he wondered in his heart.

Wu Dalin ordered all the people, Qi Ning had already left the post house, and he didn't talk nonsense, turned over and got on his horse, and asked the messenger to lead the way, leading Wu Dalin and other ten tigers and wolves, and the autumn wind swept out like falling leaves.

A group of people kept going, coming out of the east gate of Gulin City, and the horses were flying along the way.

The East China Sea Division Camp is more than 20 miles east of Gulin City, the fast horse is less than a pillar of incense time, overlooking the past, the first thing that catches your eye is the banner that waives in the wind, under the flag, is the continuous military camp, under the sun, it is extremely magnificent.

The naval camp is still a few miles away from the seaside, the ground is still mud, so the barracks is not a tent, but a wooden house built, around the barbed wooden fence around the barb, the buildings in the barracks are distributed very evenly and orderly, there are two big flagpoles standing at the gate, there is a flag fluttering on it, one is the Chu character flag, the other is a golden knife flag, the whole world, the golden knife flag is only the golden knife Taijia played, only this one, there is no semicolon.

Outside the courtyard gate, there were five guards in armor on the left and right, holding a gun in one hand and a saber in the other, like ten stone sculptures.

Before Qi Ning entered the camp, he felt a solemn aura rushing towards him, and secretly praised in his heart, and had to admit that Tangtai Zhilin did have extraordinary talent in commanding troops, and he was worthy of being a famous general of the Great Chu Shaozhuang faction.

Although he was still a few miles away from the sea, on horseback, Qi Ning could see the masts of the warships on the sea, and countless masts stood like spears in the sky, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

In front of the camp gate, Qi Ning and the others slowed down their horses, the messenger who led the way shouted, and the ten guards immediately knelt on one knee and fell to the ground.
