48 Hours a Day

“Leaving aside your father's imprisonment for now, funding political enemies should create some contradictions between Raymond and Malcolm, and we could focus on Normand-related matters. ”

“Norman, who is that?” Asked Karina beside him.

“You know the Black Business Coalition is actually the second generation right now. ”

The businesswoman nodded, “I heard my father say that there was a black business alliance on the island three years ago, but the end didn't go well, it only existed for a short time, and soon it broke apart. ”

Zhang Heng nodded, “At that time, the president of that league was Norman, and we all knew that Raymond was the oldest and most wealthy black market businessman on the island, but in fact he was the most respected black market businessman on the island when Norman was still around, so when the first generation of black businessmen's league was founded, he was chosen without suspense as president and Raymond was vice president, but then, because the black businessmen's league was not working well, Norman's reputation was consumed, and more and more people were dissatisfied with him, so after the break-up of the black businessmen's league, he also left Nassau, and died at home soon after. ”

“Is this about Malcolm? He was only on the island for a year. ”

“He was in Nassau at the time, but he was involved in the formation of the Black Business Coalition, as opposed to today, but has been very low-key, but now he doesn't seem as honest as he seems to be.” Zhang Heng handed Leah's notes to the businesswoman.

“Malcolm has secretly provoked black market businessmen against Normand, why isn't he a staunch supporter of the Black Business Coalition?” Karina wondered,

“He is a staunch supporter of the Black Business Coalition, provided that he is in charge of the Black Business Coalition, and that it is a little too early for Malcolm for Normand to set up the Black Business Coalition, when he was only on the island for a year and had a limited position in the Black Business Coalition, and if the Black Business Coalition at the time was truly able to hold its heels on the island, which was not a good thing for him, it would hinder his development, but he did a very covert job of reaching out to others through another guy named Eugene. ”

“Eugene? Intelligence dealer on the island? ”

Zhang Heng nodded, “He was also a black market businessman before, but after the dissolution of the Black Business Union, I don't know why he became an intelligence businessman. We need to talk to him. Normand's reputation among black market businessmen was unparalleled back then. Although he was later objected to by many people because of the Black Business Union, there was still a lot of respect for him. Raymond and he have been best friends for many years. His funeral Raymond helped to run. If Eugene could stand up against Malcolm, plus the letters between the two of them, it would have had more impact on Malcolm than your father's imprisonment. Especially given the adverse situation facing the Black Business Federation today, the blow to Malcolm would have been fatal had it erupted. ”

Zhang Hengzheng's voice had just fallen, and suddenly someone broke into the cellar. The owner of the slaughterhouse, Kosi, turned to the black gladiator, "Oh no, something happened at the manor! You better go to Central Square. ”

A minute later, Zhang Heng, Karina, and Laeri, who masked their faces with rigour, all came to Central Square, where many people had gathered.

In the middle of the square, a black man with a naked body was tied to a wooden column.

His body was filled with whiplashes, and his already smoked flesh blossomed, dying, while Wallace, the butler whom Zhang Heng et al. had previously met at Terence estate, stood aside.

“I'll give you one last chance. Who's the one who's out there contacting you? Who did he tell you to send the message to, tell me their names, and I'll not only let you live, but I'll also give you freedom. What, isn't that what you've always dreamed of? Become a free man. ”

The black man whispered with his mouth shut.

So the butler waved his hand, and the supervisor around him immediately waved the whip again, beating the black man hard, the latter screamed a scream, a large chunk of blood on his back was directly rolled down by the whip, and he couldn't bear this severe pain anymore, passed out.

Then the supervisor lifted up a barrel of sea water and poured it on the black man, who was immediately woken up in pain and his whole face twisted together.

The butler crouched down in front of him and sighed, “You always prayed for us to be merciful and be more merciful, and now that I've shown you my mercy, you have my word that so many people in the room can testify, as long as you give me their names, I'll let you go right away, not only that, but I can get you a doctor to heal your wounds, I can even buy you a dress and let you leave with dignity, and you can't find a better deal than that, and I just want two names, so just give me those two damn names and let's end this farce. ”

Negroes breathed heavily, but still didn't say a word half a day later.

The butler's eyes were filled with disappointment, "That's why I always disliked your place, you guys would never think of others, always make the scene so ugly. ”

After he stood up and took two steps back, the supervisor behind him came up again, and the black man's breathing became more and more impatient, and his eyes flashed with fear.

Black gladiators on the other side of the crowd also held their fists and were angry and seemed to want to rush over immediately.

But the next moment he was held by one hand, Zhang Heng opened his mouth, “Calm down, the reason they chose this place is to show you, if you rush out now, it's in their arms... is that the person on the pillar, the one who contacted you? ”

Raeli nodded and tried to contain the anger in his chest, "His name was Nadia, he was a kitchen helper, and in the early morning he would come to the market with the cook to buy food, and I usually let him bring news to Leah at this time. ”

“So how did this get out? ”

“Every time I meet with Nadia I carry the cook, so it must be another helper, he is not from my tribe, but Nadia said that he has been taken care of. Although I tried to pick Nadia to meet him when I was alone, many times the other helper was not too far away, and the people who were released by housekeeper Wallace to work were more obedient, but he was still worried that someone would run away, so he would not let the slaves get too far away, but I was blindfolded, even if I was seen, people who were not familiar with me would not recognize me. ”
