After a while, the entire Donghai Gulin City entered a state of dead silence, although it is the Donghai Mansion City, but after all, it is only a small seaside city, and its prosperity and liveliness naturally cannot be compared with the capital.

On the deserted street, a stray wild dog walked along the street, and when he came to the base of a wall, he saw a broken porcelain bowl, and he wanted to get closer, but before he could get closer, a figure on the side suddenly sat up, and the wild dog was startled, barked lowly, turned around and walked away.

The man who sat up was unkempt, with a wooden stick at his feet, and scolded the wild dog, and then lay down under the wall again, wrapped in a tattered shirt, on the coast of the East China Sea, although it was very warm during the day, but in the middle of the night, it was a little chilly.

He was in a daze, and suddenly heard a "ding" sound, this sound was very familiar to him, it was the sound of silver money thrown into the porcelain bowl, for him, this sound was crisp and pleasant, and he instantly came to his senses, turned over and sat up, turned his head to look over, and saw a figure standing beside him.

The beggar was a little strange, in the middle of the night, Mo said that this somewhat remote street, even the largest and most spacious street in Donghai City, there were few people, how could there be people giving money at such a time, looking up slightly, by the moonlight, I saw a withered yellow and thin face, about a man in his early thirties.

"Thank you, uncle!" The beggar glanced at the porcelain bowl, it was a small piece of broken silver, and immediately thanked the little secret.

But the man squatted down, stretched out his hand, but in his hand was a larger piece of broken silver, the beggar was stunned, and the man had already asked softly, "Do you want it?" ”

The beggar smiled and said, "Uncle reward, naturally it is a thousand thanks." ”

"Okay." The man nodded slightly: "The beggar gang has twenty-eight rudders, and among the seven nights in the south, who is active on this side of the East China Sea?" The man asked directly.

The beggar's face changed slightly, but he quickly made a confused look, shook his head and said, "What did the uncle say?" I...... I don't understand .......! ”

The man didn't talk nonsense, he stretched out his other hand, but there was one more thing in his hand, the shape of a bird, the workmanship was exquisite, the color was pure black, and it looked like it was made of wood.

The beggar looked at it with a look of surprise, looked left and right, got up, and without saying a word, walked away.

The person who found the beggar was naturally the Jinyi Hou Qining, who had just arrived in Gulin City in the East China Sea.

Qi Ning has a few masks that Zhong Ya gave at the beginning, and when he goes out, he naturally brings them with him, but now he is wearing a mask to hide his true face.

The things he showed were the Vermilion Bird Order that Elder Suzaku had given to him, and the Vermilion Bird Order was in hand, which was equivalent to Elder Suzaku himself, the twenty-eight rudder of the Beggar Gang, and the rudder of the Southern Seven Houses were all under the leadership of Elder Suzaku Bird, and the disciples of the Beggar Gang in the Southern Seven Houses knew that things were not simple when they saw the Suzaku Order.

The beggar didn't say a word, turned around along the wall, and finally didn't enter a narrow alley, Qi Ning just followed, and the beggar never looked back.

After walking for half a pillar of incense, he entered a narrower alley, the alley was dark and abnormal, the beggar stopped, glanced back at Qi Ning, made a gesture, and motioned for Qi Ning to wait for a while, Qi Ning bowed slightly, and the beggar entered the alley.

After waiting for a while, I saw a few figures hurriedly coming over in the alley, and they all stopped a few steps away, their eyes were sharp, and they saw that the person in front was about forty years old, with a thin figure, and the other party was staring at Qi Ning, Qi Ning once again put the Vermilion Bird Order in front, and the few people looked at each other, and the first person raised his hand and said in a low voice: "Please!" ”

Qi Ning put away the Suzaku order, and was not polite, entered the alley, several people stood respectfully aside, Qi Ning walked along the alley, several people quickly followed, walked into the deep alley, and saw a beggar standing in front of a courtyard gate with a torch, Qi Ning knew that it must be where the beggar gang rudder, and turned into the courtyard in the past, and a few people behind him followed the courtyard, and soon someone closed the courtyard door.

The thin man had already stepped forward quickly, and arched his hand: "Zhang Yuelu has seen Your Excellency!" ”

Qi Ning nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Jing Helm, I came to ask for help this time, and I took the liberty to come to the door, and I would like to bear with me." ”

Jing Shou raised his hand and said, "Please in the house!" He led Qi Ning into the house, but the others were guarding the door, and after the two entered the house, the outside immediately closed the door.

After Jing Shou invited Qi Ning to sit down, he didn't ask where Qi Ning came from, and said directly: "If Your Excellency has any instructions, even if you show us, as long as we can do it, we will do our best." ”

Qi Ning thought that this Vermilion Bird Order was really very useful, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the beggar gang has always been well-informed, so I want to come over and ask a few questions." Seeing Jing Shouwu standing by himself, he said, "Lord Jing Helm sits down and speaks!" ”

Jing Shou sat down next to Qi Ning, and Qi Ning asked, "Does Lord Jing Helm know anything about the pirates in the East China Sea?" ”

Jing Shou was stunned, but immediately nodded and said, "I understand quite well." ”

"So does the Lord of the Helm know who are the most unscrupulous pirates in the East China Sea today?" Qi Ning looked at Jing Shou and asked.

Jing Shou thought for a moment before he said: "The East China Sea was indeed rampant with pirates in the early years, but now it is no longer the same as it was back then. At that time, there were more than a dozen groups of pirates in the East China Sea, and some even ignored the existence of the East China Sea Division, and often attacked the coast. However, the East China Sea Division has been suppressing bandits for many years, and many bandits have long been out of fashion. ”

"Lord Jing Helm naturally knows about the Black Tiger Shark?" Qi Ning asked.

Jing Shou nodded and said, "This person is the only remaining giant bandit in the East China Sea, as far as I know, this person has really caused trouble to the East China Sea Master over the years. He smiled faintly and said: "Since the formation of the East China Sea Division by the Tantai family, although the pirates often ravage the coast, no pirates dare to really be the enemy of the water division, only the black tiger shark, but it is difficult for the water division everywhere, and this person's courage is really not small." ”

"Embarrassed by the sailor?" Qi Ningqi said: "How do you say this? ”

Jing Shou thought for a moment before he said: "The name of the Black Tiger Shark has actually only been known in the past two years. After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency naturally knows the truth of raising your own respect. ”

"Raising your own respect?" Qi Ning understood a little: "Could it be that this black tiger shark was indulged by the East China Sea Master?" ”

Jing Shou shook his head and said: "Although almost all the strong pirates in the East China Sea have been exterminated, several relatively weak bandits and some remnants of the exterminated bandits have been surviving on the East China Sea...... Hehe, it's actually trading. ”

"Deal?"

"Every time the pirates harass along the coast and loot some supplies, and then the East China Sea Division will appear, the pirates will leave a few heads to escape, and the sailors will not rush to kill them all, both sides tacitly believe that the pirates get the supplies, and the sailors take the bandits' heads to repay the merits, and each takes what he needs." Jing Shou smiled faintly: "Both sides have been like this before, and they have formed rules. ”

Qi Ning sighed in his heart, but he could understand.

If the rat does not exist, then the cat will lose its original value, and if the East China Sea Master exterminates the pirates, although the imperial court will not disband the water division, whether it is materials or other aspects, it will definitely weaken the strength of the water division.

As the most direct strength of the Golden Dao Tai family, of course, the Tai family will not give the imperial court any opportunity to weaken the sailor, the pirates have always ravaged the coast of the East China Sea, so the materials and rewards that the sailor has received from the imperial court will naturally not be cut off or reduced.

"If this is the case, the pirates and sailors will be fine, and it will only be the people along the coast who are unlucky." Jing Shou said: "But a few years ago, this black tiger shark suddenly appeared, and the situation was broken. ”

"This black tiger shark is very strong?"

"As far as I know, what still had some strength in the East China Sea before was Miao Bazi's gang of bandits, and this black tiger shark was under Miao Bazi." Jing Shou said slowly: "But Miao Bazi is brutal, and arrogant, every time this person robs, he will rob a group of women from good families, and for this reason, he has to throw several lives to the sailor every time, this person has robbed a lot of times, and his subordinates have suffered the most casualties, so they all say that this person is selfish and selfish, and he doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, Jing Shou continued: "Later, there was infighting on Miao Bazi's side, Miao Bazi was killed, and the black tiger shark took his place and became the new leader, as far as I know, this person is very supported by his subordinates, and after this person took the position, quietly, he actually subdued several bandits on the sea, and his strength expanded rapidly, and in less than half a year, most of those bandits on the sea have become his subordinates ......!" ”

"Being able to subdue many bandits in a short period of time, this black tiger shark has some talents." Qi Ning leaned back in his chair, thoughtful.

"The sailor saw that the black tiger shark had grown stronger, so he naturally couldn't tolerate him, and sent troops to encircle and suppress him, but this black tiger shark is extremely cunning, and the sailor has sent troops several times, but they have all returned with a feather, and it is said that even the shadow of the black tiger shark cannot be seen." Jing Shou's face was full of admiration: "Since then, the sailor and the black tiger shark have completely formed a feud. ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "In this way, the Black Tiger Shark has been a problem for the East China Sea Master in the past two years?" ”

"It's a big disaster!" Jing Shou said: "Last year, a grain depot in the East China Sea Division was burned by fire, and although it was rescued in time, most of the grain and grass were burned. ”

"Did the Black Tiger Shark do it?"

"Exactly." Jing Shou said: "The black tiger shark is bold, not only burned the water division's grain depot, but also left the black shark flag, since the formation of the water division, there has never been such an arrogant bandit, this black tiger shark is the first sea bandit who dares to fight the water division head-on." ”

Qi Ning frowned, Jing Shou continued: "A few months ago, the sailor caught a few pirate spies and executed them all, and the head was hung on the seaside, originally to deter the black tiger shark, who knew that overnight, all the heads were stolen, and several sailor soldiers were killed, hehe, this is really a great shame for the East China Sea Division, the governor of the Taitai sent a fleet to chase after it, but still found nothing, the governor of the Taitai was born in the gate, and his heart was arrogant, and he was humiliated by this, I am afraid that he vomited blood.......!"
