"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, 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 are Fraser's man, right?"
The lame old pirate nodded, "Fraser came to me before this voyage, specifically mentioned him, and said he would contact me, but he has not come to see me for so long, or even inquired from other people. Pass me, and I will take the initiative to contact him as you requested, 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 treated Goodwin. Clifton and some 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 lame old pirate on the shoulder, "I just need to understand and grasp the situation on the ship. You are doing a good job, keep it up, don't let Fraser Create doubt."
After the lame old pirate left, the figure behind the wooden desk finally said, "Why do you think Fraser must still have a student?"
"I have been his helmsman for such a long time and I know him very well." Orff stood in front of the window, with the sun shining on his shoulders. "He is indeed old. Even if he wanted to seek revenge from us, he would not take action personally. He has the courage, and he also knows that we have been guarding against him all these years, and he has no chance and can only place his hope on others."
"That young man named Zhang Heng?"
"I saw in him the shadow of you when you were young, the same calm and decisive person. Fraser put a lot of effort into him. With Fraser's character, he would not make meaningless investments, so he Frazier must be an important part of his plan, but I still can’t see what his role is.”
A rare look of worry appeared on Orff's face, "At the current pace, we will arrive in Charleston in at most two weeks, and there is not much time left for us..."
"Olf," the man on the seat interrupted, "you are the best helmsman in the entire Caribbean, but you have always had an old problem, that is, thinking too much about this ship. Why bother thinking about Fraser when we have it under our control? If you think there are people who have problems just name them and figure out how to fix them before I get off the ship."
The man paused, "We are so close to the end, don't let anything stand in the way of our revenge."
…………
Zhang Heng directed two sailors to repair a damaged sail on the deck.
More than ten days have passed since Kent came to him for a secret talk. The ship has been calm, and there has been no movement from either Orff or Fraser. The biggest thing that has happened these days is just a pirate sneaking around in the breeding room at night. When he was loading the sheep, he was caught by a patrolman and was whipped. This incident has become a source of happiness for everyone recently.
But what everyone is more concerned about right now is the Kidd treasure that is about to be obtained. As the Queen Anne's Revenge and Charleston get closer, they are getting closer to the fifth and sixth treasure maps.
All the pirates are very excited about the action tomorrow night. Most pirates have only robbed merchant ships. This is the first time they have driven a warship into an important trading port and plundered a colony like this. And the ninety-year-old pirates on the Queen Anne's Revenge Artillery is their greatest confidence.
At sunset Orff called everyone together and announced tomorrow's action plan.
"We first disguised ourselves as the Scarbury and returned to the port, and sent people to sneak into the city. Regarding this matter, I think Lord Elmer, who was imprisoned at the bottom of the ship, would be happy to assist us. Thirty of them followed the captain to the Governor's Palace, where is The wedding was held, and our target, the Count of Belomont, was there, and the remaining twenty people, led by Owen, went to the prison in the city, while the rest remained on board the ship.
"We will launch an attack on time at eight o'clock. We will first deal with the artillery on the city wall, and then shoot into the center of the city. At this time, Owen, you lead people to break into the prison, release the prisoners inside to create chaos, attract the guards in the city, and finally the captain We launched an attack on the Governor's Palace and successfully captured Count Bellomont, so everyone returned immediately. Everyone is clear, right? Are there any questions?"
"I have a question," a pirate suddenly said. "The night before yesterday, when I was getting ready to get up, I saw Billy coming back from outside. 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 floorboards."
Zhang Heng knew that the long-awaited drama finally came. The pirates didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Billy was just hiding something to eat. Although there were regulations on the ship that did not allow theft, they There were many people running to the kitchen late at night looking for wine or meat to eat, but no one took it seriously, and some even made fun of Billy.
However, everyone soon noticed that the latter's expression became very ugly, especially when Irving led someone to dig out the things under the floor.
It was a crumpled page covered with words.
Billy struggled a bit, but he finally stood up from his position and said, "Yes, that thing is mine." He looked around, "We suspect that the captain and helmsman used false treasure information to deceive Everyone realizes their ulterior motives, so..."
"So you went to the bottom to contact the captain of the Scarbury while everyone was asleep, and expressed your willingness to let him go privately tonight in exchange for a pardon?" Orff took over his words and said calmly road.
"What?" Billy lost his voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? That piece of paper is clearly a question we plan to question you face to face!"
"So it seems that one of you and I must have lied," Orff handed the page in his hand to Owen. "Can you come and see if my eyesight has become dim?"
The boatswain took the piece of paper and read, "...I, Elmer Anderson, captain of the Scarbury, was attacked by a group of savage pirates when I was out at sea and was trapped here. Fortunately, I was helped by others. Once I escaped, I would like to use Family connections, provide pardons to the following persons..."
The pirates were in an uproar when they heard this. Betraying your companions on any pirate ship was the most unbearable crime. Billy was shaking with anger. He knew that he had been plotted. What was even more terrible was that he personally 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 was very low and they could understand it. There are very few people who have written anything on it, but it is enough to have Owen, a person whom everyone trusts, speak out.
Zhang Heng heard his name among them as expected, but his expression was very calm. He had made all the preparations he needed to do. The next step was to watch the show unfold. If everything went well, he would also get The biggest gain from this trip to sea.
