48 Hours a Day

Looking at the black man's tragedy on the column, Karina's face also appeared intolerable, but none of them could do anything at this time.

There is no difference between the slaves of this era and the domesticated livestock, and even if Malcolm had ordered all the blacks in the estate to be executed overnight, the outsiders would not be able to say anything, not to mention that he would certainly have had other men near the square waiting for someone to rush out.

So the last three could only watch the black man tied to the column whipped without a sound.

Housekeeper Wallace was not very satisfied with the result, and after he had been informed of Nadia's collusion, he arranged the show, but after waiting so long, the righteous man did not appear, and he could not really kill Nadia, otherwise the only clue would be broken.

Seeing that the latter had lost his voice, he was helpless enough to stop the supervisor from continuing to punch him, calm his face, "Get him a doctor to bandage him up and let's go back to the manor. ”

See, there's no noise, but the people in the square are scattered. Zhang Heng asks Laeri, “What are you going to do? ”

“Nadia is not a fighter in the tribe, but he is stronger than many, and he will not betray us. ”

“It's not a matter of loyalty," Zhang Heng shook his head, "Few people can endure continuous torture, he may be able to carry it this time, but next time, Wallace always has a way to pry his mouth open. ”

“What am I supposed to do? ”

“Perhaps you should consider leaving, in the meantime you have given us a lot of useful information enough for us to deal with Malcolm, our previous agreements are still in force, I have travelled a lot of seas to find a suitable place for you to live, far from normal merchant shipping routes, there is fresh water on the island, there are dense forests for you to hide in, and I can provide you with the weapons you want, in addition to that I can send you another batch of necessities. ”

Zhang Hengton said, "But like I said, I can only have my men and boats wait for you where you were promised, and I can't get involved in your fight against the slave lords, otherwise we will be fighting all the plantation landowners on the island. ”

Laerie nodded, “I understand that when I left, I would have Leah bring the letters you needed with me. ”

Having settled the matter on the black gladiator's side, Zhang Heng and Karina can again focus on the intelligence dealer Eugene, but it is not easy to get the latter to cooperate with them in accusing Malcolm.

Annie was very straightforward, and she said, "It's simple. Just tie him up and beat him up. ”

“We cannot use violence this time, otherwise his words will be less credible, and we need him to stand up and tell the truth about the year, to prove that Malcolm will take his interests above the Black Business Alliance, and he is not a qualified leader… In short, let's split up and find out what he is. ”

Billy also joined the operation, eventually regrouping at Zhang Heng's residence on the morning of the third day.

“I'll go first.” Humane Woman, "Eugene became an intelligence dealer shortly after the break-up of the Black Business Union three years ago. He had gathered a lot of people and Normand's Black Business Union vicious competition and dug up several pirate ships from the Black Business Union. In fact, from the circumstances at the time, the situation was not so bad as to be irreparable. After all, Normand's prestige was high that many people were willing to follow him until something happened. ”

“What is it? ”

“Normand had a secret agreement with two pirate ships, and Normand used his rights to help them get higher takeover prices in the alliance, and in return, the two pirate ships were willing to give Normand half of that extra income, which discredited Normand, but it seems doubtful now, especially since the captains of the two pirate ships were familiar with Eugene, one of whom had previously worked in partnership with Eugene. ”

“Can we still find those two pirate ships? ”

“I'm afraid not.” Billy grinned, "I also found this place, but then one of the two pirate ships went out of the sea and didn't come back. It should have been sunk during the robbery. There was also a captain who was later put out of the referendum and stabbed to death a year ago at the corner of a man's mouth in a tavern. The crew of that ship changed their blood several rounds. In fact, finding the old crew was useless, and the average sailor knew very little. ”

“Anyway, because the black merchants' union broke up, but Normand had a lot of friends, and Eugene wasn't seen in this circle afterwards, so he was forced to move on as an intelligence dealer, relying on the contacts he had accumulated at customs, which was pretty good, but certainly not compared to his previous experience as a black market merchant. Now the question is, why would Eugene be willing to be gunned down by Malcolm? ”

“You mean Malcolm secretly compensated Eugene?” Billy asked.

“I think the bigger possibility is that Eugene has something in Malcolm's hands.” The businesswoman, "I studied Malcolm, and he was very cautious, and if Eugene was really instructed to falsify Norman, it was impossible to have any means of checks and balances against Eugene. Otherwise, a man like Eugene could falsify Norman for profit, and vice versa. ”

“So now we need to find out what Eugene left in Malcolm's hands?” Billy asked.

“I may know the answer to that question. ”

Nobody expected Annie, the red-haired girl, to see the crowd gather their eyes on her and shrug, “Why, you have your channels of investigation, I have mine, and Harry and the kids on several streets are very familiar, they usually like to fight and kill, but they can be of some use when they need help, and because many people their age ignore their existence, they often hear a lot of secrets, and very few people know —— Eugene, probably another bastard. ”

“Bastard? How old? Where? ”

“It was born when he first came to the island with a gorgeous girl, who was said to have picked her up from the courtyard after she became pregnant and bought them a house on the island, but then a fire broke out there and Eugene escaped herself, and the gorgeous woman was burned to death, but miraculously the child survived, but because of the poor relationship between him and Eugene, he left Nassau alone when he was 10 years old. ”
