Only then did Qi Ning realize that the black tiger shark had repeatedly made things difficult for the navy, but the navy had no choice but to him, thinking that it was reasonable that Dan Tai Zhilin was depressed in his heart when facing such a cunning opponent.

But he was a little strange in his heart. The so-called shrimps have shrimp paths and crab paths. If the bandits in the East China Sea want to survive, they will naturally abide by the rules of the game. The navy must raise the bandits to respect themselves. This is a great opportunity for the bandits in the East China Sea to survive. After all, the bandits in the East China Sea cannot compete with the bandits in the East China Sea.

The navy has a steady stream of logistics supplies, and the biggest disadvantage of the East China Sea bandits at sea is that they cannot obtain sufficient logistical support. As long as the navy makes every effort to block the coast, it can be consumed and destroyed by the sea bandits.

Of course, this is not a situation that the East China Sea bandits are willing to see. Over the years, the two sides have formed a tacit understanding.

But the black tiger shark broke this rule. His purpose was not only to plunder the coast, but to directly point the finger at the East China Sea Navy. From a certain perspective, this is undoubtedly a road to self-destruction with an egg to strike stones.

It is hard for Qi Ning to imagine that a visionary pirate leader would choose this path.

But the black tiger shark chose this path.

Although relying on the familiarity of the sea area, it is possible to temporarily avoid the encirclement of the navy, over time, the difference in logistics supply between the two sides will make the navy determined to wipe out this group of pirates, then the final outcome of the black tiger shark is almost imaginable. As long as Dan Tai Zhilin has enough patience and does not even have to do it himself, internal strife will also occur due to the harsh environment within the pirates.

No matter what, Qi Ning couldn't figure out why the Black Tiger Shark had to blatantly become enemies of the East China Sea Navy.

"Master Jing Helm, what are the East China Sea Navy doing to that pirate at the moment?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment before asking softly.

Jing Shou immediately said: "According to the news I received, the navy has already begun to blockade the coast. The navy's warships are patrolling along the coast, and they send the strongest warships to search for traces of the black tiger shark on the sea." He smiled slightly and whispered: "The navy also released the wind. As long as someone can send the head of the black tiger shark to the East China Sea Navy agrees, not only will he reward gold, but he will also recommend an official to the court. No matter what he did in the past, he will not blame him."

"oh?"

"Actually, this is what the pirates at sea know." Jing Shou chuckled: "The spread of this wind will inevitably make the Black Tiger Shark and his men guard each other. The Black Tiger Shark is naturally worried that someone under his command will really take his head because of the golden official position, but until now, the Black Tiger Shark should be alive."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, held her chin, and asked thoughtfully, "The black tiger shark can take Miao Bazi and replace it, and even gather scattered forces at sea in a short period of time. This person's courage and talent are indeed extraordinary. Such a person should have been famous for a long time, right?"

Jing Shou shook his head and said, "Before Miao Bazi was killed, no one knew the fame of this black tiger shark. Even my Beggar Sect didn't know that there was such a person on the sea. Anyone with some famous people on the sea knows more or less, but we know nothing about this black tiger shark. Until the black tiger shark became the leader of the bandit, we knew a little about him."

"So that's it." Qi Ning asked softly: "How old is this person? Can the leader of the Jing helm know?"

"To be honest, we still know nothing about whether this person is a man or a woman, or a young man." Jing Shou said a little embarrassedly: "When Miao Bazi was alive, there were often pirates who came to disguise themselves on the shore. We are also familiar with their traces and can know some things at sea. However, after the black tiger shark came up, he immediately pointed his finger at the navy. He broke the rules and there were fewer pirates who came ashore. Finally, he was caught by the navy's people. After that, he only knew that the black tiger shark brought people to make things difficult for the navy everywhere, and there were few other news. "He was a little confused between his eyebrows, he hesitated, and asked: "Forgive me, why are you so interested in the black tiger shark?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I just heard that the Black Tiger Shark dared to be an enemy of the East China Sea Navy. I was very curious and wanted to know who this person was."

"It's not easy to inquire about the Black Tiger Shark now." Jing Shou said: "And after the Black Tiger Shark became enemies of the Navy, our Beggars' Sect would not contact those people, so as not to be involved."

Qi Ning knew what Jing Shou meant, and said with a smile: "The Lord Jing, don't worry, I won't let you do something that makes the Beggars' Sect difficult." He knew that the Beggars' Sect was well-informed, so he thought for a while before asking: "There is another thing, I want to ask the Lord Jing, for advice."

Jing Shou immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite. If you have the Suzaku Order in your hand, you are a good friend of our Beggars' Sect. As long as we have a place to help, it is unavoidable and will never refuse."

"Master Jing, I don't know!" Qi Ning paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and asked, "Does the Beggars' Sect know that there are some strange disappearance cases in the East China Sea?"

"A strange disappearance case?" Jing Shou was stunned, slightly surprised.

Qi Ning said: "To be honest, I encountered some strange things before. I heard that some young and strong men disappeared for no reason, just like evaporating from the world, and suddenly there was no news."

Jing Shou's expression suddenly became solemn, his body leaned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know this?" As he asked, Qi Ning immediately knew that Jing Shou obviously knew this, and immediately said: "It seems that the leader of Jing Helm has heard of it."

Jing Shou thought for a while before saying, "I have really heard of some such rumors, most of which happened in remote villages. As you said, similar incidents have occurred in those villages. Those who are missing are all young and strong men, and there has been no news since then." He frowned: "The villagers all said that there were ghosts, and those villagers were captured by ghosts."

When Qi Ning heard what Jing Shou said was almost the same as what he heard in Dongyang County, he felt a stern heart and asked coldly: "Does the Lord Jing know where these things happened? How many people are missing now?"

Jing Shou shook his head and said, "It's really unclear how many people are missing. There are more than a dozen county towns under Donghai County, and there are dozens of villages in each county town. After some people disappeared, some people reported the case to the government. However, after many people disappeared, the local villagers felt that it was a ghost and did not report to the government. The Beggars' Sect also went to investigate the matter, but they could not find any clues. The bizarreness of those people disappeared without any clues, and no clues were left after they disappeared!" Shaking his head and sighed, "No one reported the case, and the government would not take care of it too much. Even if someone reported the case, the government sent someone to investigate it, and if the clues were not found, it would be left alone."

"The government is left unresolved?" Qi Ning frowned.

Jing Shou said: "Actually, there are some things that are really no wonder the government. There is a Chenjia Village dozens of miles west of Gulin City. Last year, five young and strong men disappeared mysteriously in Chenjia Village overnight. When we found out about this, our Beggars' Sect, we went to ask for information. However, the people in the village were silent about it and no one said a word. Moreover, after the incident, the village also hired Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts. Everyone in the village thought that it was ghosts who captured the strong men, and the elderly in the village did not even allow them to go to the government to report the case. If this happened in Chenjia Village, many other villages were afraid that many people were like this, so the Beggars' Sect couldn't explain clearly how many people were missing."

Qi Ning smiled bitterly in his heart. The population was missing. There was obviously something strange about it, but the villagers mistakenly thought it was a ghost. As long as the sayings of ghosts and gods were touched, who would really investigate carefully?

After leaving the Beggars' Gang branch, Qi Ning quietly returned to the inn and rested for half a night. Early the next morning, he got up and packed up and went out. Wei Yujiang and others were already waiting.

When all the officials knew that Dan Tai Zhilin had died, they thought it was a shocking case at first, but after autopsy and on-site investigation, it was found that Dan Tai Zhilin did commit suicide. Although they were surprised and regretful, since it was not a killing, they all knew that this case did not take much effort.

Qi Ning did not let other officials go with him. After breakfast, he only asked Wei Yujiang to go with him and asked Wu Dalin to take two people to accompany him.

The sun is bright, the sky is high and the air is cool, and people come and go on the streets, and everything is quiet in the late night is like two worlds.

The inn is not far from the Grand Governor's Mansion. After crossing two streets, he arrived at the Grand Governor's Mansion. Qi Ning had already agreed yesterday that he would meet Dan Tai Zhilin's widow today. After entering the Grand Governor's Mansion, Shen Liangqiu had received a report and rushed over quickly. When he saw Qi Ning, he immediately said: "Marty, I told my wife last night that the Marquis was going to see her today. The wife didn't say much, nodded in agreement. The Marquis waited for a moment, and the general had sent someone to tell her that the Marquis had arrived."

After Qi Ning sat down, he asked, "How is Madam's health?"

"Mrs. and the Grand Governor are in love. This time the Grand Governor passed away, madam!" Shen Liangqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. His face was haggard and his eyes were black. It was obvious that he had worked very hard this time.

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "General Shen, the Grand Governor, has passed away. The imperial court has not issued an order to select others to replace him. Before that, you will have to deal with the navy, and you must take care of your health."

"Thank you for your concern," Shen Liangqiu said: "The Marquis came here this time and also inspected the body of the Grand Governor. After the Grand Governor passed away, it was really inappropriate to park the body like this for many days, so I am preparing to discuss with my wife today to bring the body of the Grand Governor."

"It should be like this." Qi Ning said: "Is the coffin of the Grand Commander ready?"

Shen Liangqiu explained: "After the death of the Grand Governor, the lower officials have sent someone to secretly find a good coffin, and will do it after the imperial court sends people over. Last night, the general had already sent someone to secretly send the coffin over, and now it is parked in the courtyard of the Grand Governor's body, just waiting to discuss with his wife!"

Before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from outside: "Not good, no good!"—
