After Orff finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the pirates on the deck were all different.
Most of the newcomers who joined in the past few days breathed a sigh of relief. Orff made it very clear that the traitor was someone who once fought alongside him, which means that they are safe in this matter and can eat melons. Watching a play, on the other hand, the expressions of the old people are a bit ugly.
Some people remained silent, some couldn't help but curse, and some questioned Orff's accusation as unfounded. At the same time, everyone looked at each other suspiciously.
And the instigator of all this, Orff, didn't speak again after finishing this sentence.
His eyes swept over everyone on the deck again. When it was Zhang Heng's turn, the latter didn't know if it was his own illusion. He felt that Orff's eyes stayed on him for about half a second longer than the others. bell.
Then the helmsman spoke again, "Unfortunately, this Mr. Traitor doesn't seem to have the courage to admit what he has done. It seems that I can only help him."
After speaking, he walked towards Zhang Heng's direction, and everyone's eyes also gathered here. Orff took out the short musket at his waist while walking.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Zhang Heng's head, and one of his hands had already held the [Moment of Shadow] in his pocket.
Orff stopped in front of him, and then said politely, "Sorry, can you let me go?"
After finishing speaking, his eyes passed Zhang Heng, and looked at the black gunner behind Zhang Heng. The latter's expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Orff, you are avenging yourself! Revenge for the thing I challenged you before." He said Looking to the left and right, he said excitedly, "Are you just watching him slander me like this? He can do this to me today, and he can do the same thing to you tomorrow. In the end, this boat will be completely his own." It's over!"
The words of the black gunner still played a certain role, and the pirates also looked suspiciously at Orff after hearing the words.
Power struggles are common on many pirate ships, but generally few people will kill the losers. This will make other pirates on the ship feel a strong sense of crisis, and the loser has no principled mistakes. To downplay the treatment, if Orff really came for Goodwin this time, the impact would be very bad.
He may not be dismissed immediately because he has clues to the treasure, but once the treasure is obtained, the crew may unite to overthrow him immediately.
In fact, because of what the black gunner said, many pirates have already developed resistance to Orff, but the latter is not in a hurry, "If I remember correctly, you were the last time the Sea Lion docked. The first batch of people to go ashore, it turned out that less than an hour later, the news that we were looking for the treasure was rumored, don’t tell me it’s just a coincidence.”
As expected, Goodwin is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Hearing this, there was no panic on his face, and he snorted coldly, "There were nearly twenty people in the first batch to go ashore. Why do you think I leaked it? information."
"Because I asked Owen to ask everyone afterwards, and everyone could tell what they were doing during this period of time, and they could find someone who could prove it. Only you said that you went back to your residence to sleep as soon as you landed, and no one can prove."
The black gunner said angrily, "Why, do you have to find someone to prove it when you sleep now?!"
"Of course not, but someone saw you coming out of Marshall's house later, how are you going to explain it?" Orff said and turned to the crowd, "Some of you may not know who Marshall is, he is the biggest man on the island. A moneylender, but he duns his debts more than he lends them."
Orff looked at Goodwin again, and the latter's forehead had already begun to ooze cold sweat, "It seems that you bribed a lot of people to win votes to replace me, I can't help but wonder where the money came from? The price of borrowing money from Marshall is not small. No wonder you looked hopeless when you lost. The news that you didn't become the helmsman when the Sea Lion landed should have spread. Now it's time to pay off the debt. You didn't money, so we had to sell Marshall the news that we were looking for treasure, right?"
The black gunner was not just sweating, although he was still struggling, insisting that Orff really slandered him, but he looked a little bit harsh.
Goodwin had to admit that he did borrow money from Marshall, and this time he went to the other party to ask for a period of time, but he denied that he had sold the news of the treasure to Marshall, saying that he had never betrayed the Sea Lion.
However, the eyes of the surrounding pirates looking at him became more and more cold, and the people who were standing near him silently distanced themselves from him, and a look of despair flashed in the eyes of the black gunner.
He suddenly ran to the side of the ship. The Sea Lion had just left the port and was not far from Nassau. If he could successfully jump into the water, there was a high probability that he could swim back, but the next moment Orff pulled the gun in his hand. trigger.
The bullet penetrated into the black gunner's calf, and the latter fell to the deck after only taking two steps, and was held down by other pirates together.
Orff said, "It would be too cheap to kill him like this, tie him to the mast, the sun is pretty good these days, let him have a good sunbathing."
Goodwin cursed wildly when he heard the words, "Orff, you old liar full of lies! One day you will go to hell too!!! I'm waiting for you there..."
He wanted to go on, but then his mouth was gagged, and several new pirates who had just boarded the ship tied him to the mainmast with cables. Their actions were rude and they did not bandage the latter's legs. The meaning of the wound.
Orff put away the short musket in his hand, "Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a cruel person, and I don't like any punishment, but it is my duty to protect everyone's interests and ensure the safety of every voyage. I am targeting Mr. Goodwin, and I just hope that everyone can take this as a warning and stop betraying this ship and your companions, otherwise Mr. Goodwin’s today is your tomorrow. Well, let’s continue this trip now Go on a treasure hunt."
After Orff finished speaking, he waved his hand and told all the sailors on the deck to return to their respective posts.
Zhang Heng was checking the starboard Lajin, but what he didn't expect was that the helmsman walked up to him, "How is it, is everything normal?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "There is no problem with the sails."
"That's good." Orff changed his previous indifference to the black gunners, and said gently, "Roscoe spoke highly of you, and he said that as long as you are given time to grow, you will become the best on the Sea Lion." Sailmasters, everyone voted for the rope captain before, and you and old Mike got very close in the final votes, just a little bit, don’t be discouraged, work hard, this position will be yours sooner or later.”
