Looking at the tragic situation of the black people on the pillar, Karina also showed a look of unbearable expression, but the three of them couldn't do anything at this time.
There is no difference between black slaves in this era and domesticated animals. Even if Malcolm ordered the execution of all black people in the manor overnight, outsiders can't say anything, not to mention that he must have arranged other people near the square. , waiting for someone to rush out.
Therefore, the last three of them could only watch helplessly as the black man tied to the post was beaten silently by the whip.
The housekeeper Wallace was not very satisfied with the result. He arranged this good show after he was informed that Nadia had colluded with others. Kill Nadia, otherwise the only clue will be broken.
Seeing that the latter had lost his voice, he helplessly stopped the overseer from continuing to beat him, and said calmly, "Find him a doctor to bandage him, and let's go back to the manor."
Seeing that there was no excitement to see that the people in the square dispersed, Zhang Heng asked Laieri, "What are you going to do?"
"Although Nadia is not a warrior in the tribe, his willpower is stronger than many warriors. He will not betray us."
"It's not a matter of loyalty or not," Zhang Heng shook his head. "Few people can endure continuous torture. He may be able to survive this time, but next time, next time, Wallace will always find a way." Pry his mouth open."
"Then what should I do?"
"Maybe you should consider leaving. You have given us a lot of useful information during this period, enough for us to deal with Malcolm. Our previous agreement is still valid. I have gone to sea to investigate many islands and found A place suitable for you to live in, far away from normal merchant shipping routes. The island has fresh water and dense forests, which can provide you with a hidden living environment. I can also provide you with the weapons you want. In addition, I can also Send you another batch of daily necessities."
Zhang Heng paused, "But as I said, I can only let my people and ships wait for you at the agreed place, and I cannot get involved in your fight against the slave owners, otherwise we will have to fight with the islanders." All plantation landowners are enemies."
Raeli nodded, "I can understand. When I leave, I will ask Leah to bring the letters you need with me."
After solving the matter of the black gladiator, Zhang Heng and Karina can turn their attention back to the intelligence dealer Eugene, but it is not easy for the latter to cooperate with them in accusing Malcolm .
Annie was very straightforward, and said, "This is simple, just tie him up and beat him up."
"We can't use violence this time, otherwise the credibility of his words will be reduced. We need him to stand up and tell the truth back then to prove that Malcolm will put his own interests above the Black Merchants Alliance. He He's not a qualified leader... In short, let's find out about him first."
Billy also joined the operation, and finally the four of them reunited at Zhang Heng's residence on the morning of the third day.
"Let me go first." The businesswoman said, "Eugene became an intelligence dealer shortly after the disintegration of the black business alliance three years ago. He had gathered a lot of people to compete viciously with Normand's black business Several pirate ships were poached from the Merchant Alliance. In fact, judging from the situation at the time, the situation was not so bad that it could not be recovered. After all, Normand’s prestige was very high, and many people were willing to follow him. thing."
"whats the matter?"
"It was revealed that Normand had a secret agreement with the two pirate ships. Normand used his rights to help them obtain a higher purchase price in the alliance. In return, the two pirate ships were willing to share the extra income. Half of it was given to Normand. It was this incident that discredited Normand, but now it seems that this incident is actually quite suspicious, especially the captains of the two pirate ships are very familiar with Eugene. One of them It was a cooperative relationship with Eugene before."
"Can we still find those two pirate ships?"
"I'm afraid I can't." Billy smiled wryly, "I also found out here, but one of the two pirate ships did not come back after going out to sea. It should have been sunk during the robbery, and the captain of the other one was voted out later. , was stabbed to death in an altercation with someone in a tavern a year ago, and the crew on that ship has gone through several rounds of major changes, and it’s actually useless to find the old crew, as ordinary sailors can only know very little.”
"In short, because of this incident, the Black Merchants Alliance disintegrated, but Normand has many friends. After that, Eugene was not well received in this circle, so he was forced to change careers and become an intelligence dealer. The network of contacts accumulated at the customs is not bad, but it is definitely not comparable to when he was a black market businessman before. Now the problem is coming. Obviously he did not get any benefits in the end. Why is Eugene willing to be shot by Malcolm? what?"
"You mean Malcolm secretly paid Eugene compensation?" Billy asked.
"I think it's more likely that Eugene has something in Malcolm's hands." The businesswoman said, "I have studied Malcolm, and he is very cautious. If Eugene is really instigated to frame Nuo Mande, it’s impossible to have no checks and balances on Eugene, otherwise people like Eugene can frame Normand for profit, and vice versa can come back to bite him for profit.”
"So we need to find out what Eugene has in Malcolm's hands first?" Billy asked.
"I may know the answer to that question."
No one expected that it would be Annie who spoke this time. The red-haired girl saw that everyone's eyes were on her, and shrugged, "Why, you have your investigation channels, and I have mine, Harry and several streets. The little ghosts are very familiar, although they usually like to fight and kill, but they can also come in handy when they need help, and because of their age, many people will ignore their existence, so they can often listen There are many secrets, few people know about Eugene, and there may be an illegitimate child."
"Bastard? How old and where?"
"That was when he first came to the island and came down with a prostitute. It is said that after the prostitute became pregnant, Eugene picked her up from the prostitute and bought them a house on the island. However, something happened in that place later. There was a fire, Eugene escaped by himself, and the prostitute was burned to death, but the miracle is that the child survived, but because of this incident, he and Eugene had a bad relationship. and left Nassau alone."
