"How did he say?"
In the captain's cabin, Orff poured a glass of rum for the lame old pirate in front of the wooden table, and said.
The latter glanced at the silent tall figure directly opposite, swallowed his saliva, and took the wine glass, "He said he was quite satisfied with the current situation, and I didn't feel any danger."
Orff frowned, "He knows you're from Fraser, right?"
The lame old pirate nodded, "Fraser came to me before the voyage this time, and mentioned him specifically, saying that he would contact me, but he hasn't come to me for so long at sea, and he hasn't even asked about it from other people. Pass me, I took the initiative to contact him according to your request, but he seems completely... indifferent."
"Where are the others?"
The lame old pirate hesitated for a moment, "Billy and Clay are dissatisfied with the way you treat Goodwin, and Clifton and others are disappointed that the captain broke his promise to bombard the prisoners, but none of them belong to Fraser. people."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to them." Orff patted the shoulder of the lame old pirate, "I just need to understand the situation on board, you've done a good job, keep it up, don't let Fraser Doubt."
After the lame old pirate left, the figure behind the wooden table finally said, "Why do you think that Fraser must still have a student?"
"I've been a helmsman for him for so long and I know him very well." Orff stood in front of the window, the sun shining on his shoulders, "He's really old, even if he wanted us to take revenge, he didn't go out personally He has the courage, and he also knows that we have been guarding against him all these years, he has no chance, and can only pin his hope on others."
"That young man named Zhang Heng?"
"I saw from him the shadow of you when you were young, just as calm and resolute. Fraser has devoted a lot of effort to him. With Fraser's character, he will not make meaningless investments, so he is in It must have been an important part of Fraser's plan, but I don't yet see what his role is."
A rare look of worry appeared on Orff's face, "According to the current speed, we will arrive in Charleston in at most two weeks, and we don't have much time left..."
"Orff," the man on the seat interrupted him, "you are the best helmsman in the entire Caribbean, but you have always had a habit of thinking too much, and now this ship Why bother thinking about Fraser's playing cards when we're in control? If you think there's anyone who has a problem, just list them and figure out how to fix it before I get off the ship."
The man paused, "We are so close to the end, don't let anything stand in our way of revenge."
...
Zhang Heng directed two sailors to repair a damaged sail on the deck.
It has been more than ten days since Kent came to him for a secret talk, and the boat has been calm. Neither Orff nor Fraser has moved. The biggest thing that happened these days was just a pirate sneaking around in the breeding room at night. He was caught by the patrolmen while going to the sheep and was whipped. This incident has become a source of happiness for everyone in recent times.
But right now, everyone is more concerned about the Kidd treasure that is about to be acquired. As the Queen Anne's Revenge and Charleston are getting closer, they are getting closer and closer to the fifth and sixth treasure maps.
All the pirates are very excited about tomorrow night's action. Most of the pirates have only robbed merchant ships. Artillery is their greatest confidence.
At sunset, Orff called everyone together and announced the action plan for tomorrow.
"First we disguised ourselves as the Scarborough and returned to the port, and sent people to sneak into the city. Regarding this matter, I think Lord Elmer, who was detained at the bottom of the ship, would be happy to assist us. Thirty of them followed the captain to the Governor's Mansion, where is The place where the wedding was held, our target, Count Belomonte, was there. The remaining 20 people were led by Owen to the prison in the city, and the rest stayed on the ship.
"We will launch an attack on time at eight o'clock. First, we will deal with the artillery on the city wall, and then shoot at the center of the city. At this time, Owen, you lead people into the prison, release the prisoners inside to create chaos, and attract the guards in the city. Finally, the captain Launch an attack on the Governor's Mansion, and everyone will return immediately after the Earl of Belomonte is successfully captured, everyone is clear, is there any problem?"
"I have a question," a pirate said suddenly, "I saw Billy come back from outside when I was about to get up the night before. He looked very nervous. I was still lying on the bed at that time, so he probably didn't notice me. I saw him hiding something under the floor."
Zhang Heng knew that the long-awaited show meat had finally come. The pirates didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that Billy was just secretly hiding something to eat. Although there was a regulation against theft on board, There were quite a few people who went to the kitchen late at night to find wine or meat, but they didn't take this matter to heart, and some even made fun of Billy.
However, everyone soon noticed that the latter's face became very ugly, especially when Owen led someone to turn out the things under the floor.
It was a crumpled page with words written all over it.
Billy struggled a bit, he finally stood up from his seat, and said, "Yes, that thing is mine." He looked around, "We suspect that the captain and helmsman used false treasure information to deceive Everyone achieves their ulterior purpose, so..."
"So you guys ran to the bottom floor to meet the captain of the Scarborough while everyone was asleep, and expressed your willingness to let him go privately tonight in exchange for a pardon?" Orff took his words, indifferently road.
"What?" Billy lost his voice, "What nonsense are you talking about, that piece of paper is clearly a question we intend to confront you face to face!"
"So it seems that one of you and I must be lying," Orff handed the paper to Owen who was beside him, "Come and see if I'm old and blind?"
The boatswain took the piece of paper and read, "... I, Elmer Anderson, the captain of the Scarborough, was attacked by a group of savage pirates when I went out to sea. I was lucky to be helped by others. Once I escaped, I would like to use my family relationship, provide pardons for the following persons…”
The pirates were in an uproar when they heard the words, betraying their companions on any pirate ship was the most unbearable crime, Billy trembled with anger, he knew he had been tricked, and what was even worse was that he admitted that the piece of paper was his Yes, but now that thing has clearly been swapped.
Although he tried his best to argue, no one would listen to what he said at this time. After Owen finished reading, he put the piece of paper aside so that everyone could see it. However, the literacy rate among pirates is very low, and they can understand There are very few people who write anything on it, but it is enough to have Owen, a person everyone trusts, speak out.
Zhang Heng heard his name in it without accident, but his expression was very calm. He had already done all the preparations, and the next thing was to watch the good show. If everything goes well, he can also get The biggest harvest of this trip.
