48 Hours a Day

“So Malcolm was able to control Eugene, get him to gather his hands against him and frame Normand, not because he had Eugene's grip, but because he had Eugene's son's grip?” Annie returned to Zhang Heng the weapons previously in her custody.

Zhang Heng took over the weapon, "Yes, many colonies have zero tolerance for pirates. If this thing blows up, his son will not only be unable to hang in the navy, but will also be at risk of hanging. ”

“No wonder Eugene was so obedient.” Billy Dow, “so if we want Eugene to help us charge Malcolm, we have to solve his problem first. Did Carmen tell you who the two survivors are? ”

Karina shook her head, "Eugene didn't tell her the exact name, but it should be possible to find out that anyone who survives piracy will have a record on the customs side, and I can write to someone there to investigate. ”

“Then our next job is to find those two survivors, find a way to kill them, or tie them up. ”

“I'm afraid this isn't easy. If it were possible, Eugene would have done it herself. He certainly wouldn't be willing to be so threatened by Malcolm for the rest of his life. Even if he didn't have the ability to do it himself, he could have paid someone to do it. ”

After seeing Zhang Heng, the businesswoman picked out her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? ”

“Nothing, something came to mind.” Zhang Hengdao, "but I don't know this road yet, right? Can you lend me a hand? I want people to go to the colonies and find out something. ”

Zhang Henghe and the crew on the Cold Raven are definitely already on the reward list in various ports, especially himself. Although he often drifted in the sea during this time, his skin had been much tanned, the characteristics of the Orientals were still obvious. In fact, Zhang Henghe was still quite interested in the North American colonies of this era. On the premise that the main line mission was completed and he earned enough money, if he had the chance to visit various places, he could also visit the old Roscoe.

The latter taught him techniques such as sailing and observing wind direction, which was kind of his enlightenment teacher, but the idea was abandoned by him just once in his head, mainly because the risks were too high.

Unfortunately, in his present capacity, it is doomed in this copy that it will not be possible to return to civilization.

“Of course.” Karina nodded, refreshed, “My people can pick whatever you want. ”

Zhang Heng picked two seemingly smart guys from the second-hand goods trade, told them what to investigate, and gave them another 40 silver dollars in tolls. The two were surprised and surprised. They embarked on a journey back to the colony that night.

Zhang Heng himself was not idle, and found the pirate group that Eugene's bastard son had stayed with before.

Strictly speaking, that pirate group no longer existed. Like most pirates on the island, it existed for a very short period of time and had been disbanded in less than a year. It was not a great pirate group. Even the brightest of times, there were less than 30 people, almost when Eugene's bastard son joined, and one of the biggest deals they ever made was the looting of that cotton merchant ship nine years ago.

Some of the others later joined the other pirates, buried in the sea, and others became fishermen. Zhang Heng, with the help of Brooks and others, took more than a week to find a guy on the boat.

After asking a few questions, Zhang Heng thanked each other.

And at this point, Karina's findings came out, and Karina finally knew why Eugene had had to breathe all these years to get out of Malcolm's control.

Malcolm sent one of those two survivors into the naval fleet and one into the Governor's Palace to escort them, so that Billy's previous plan would not work, and it would not be realistic to tie them up or kill them unless another shell bombed Charleston like the previous Queen Anne's Revenge.

Once again, the businesswoman felt a strong sense of frustration when they thought they had found Malcolm's weakness, but with so much effort, they eventually walked into the dead end, the latter like a monster without any blossoms, and Karina could not help wondering again who the last winner of the war between her and the other side would be, after all, even Normand, the first president of the Black Merchants Union, eventually lost to Malcolm without wings, as opposed to a newcomer who had barely made it.

Four days later, Karina didn't find another solution, and she became more and more anxious until Zhang Heng knocked on her door and said, "Come on, my borrower is back, we should go see Eugene. ”

“Now, are you sure you can convince him to give up his only son's life and future on our side? ”

“Almost 80% of the time.” Zhang Hengdao.

The businesswoman was surprised to hear the words, “How is this possible? ”

“It's not as complicated as I thought it would be, so I'll explain it together. ”

The two men arrived at Heyman Manor in a carriage at night, and this time the Negro Drew was waiting for them at the door, leading them to the study on the second floor, where Carmen and Eugene were both there, who had just read the mail in their hands and were very excited, "How do I know what you're saying is true? ”

“If you have read the letter, you should know that your son did not board any pirate ship before leaving Nassau, and that his toll was earned by him for his part-time work on the island over the years.” Zhang Hengdao, "Mrs. Smith said to me earlier, introducing you and your son, that the relationship between your father and son had deteriorated shortly after the fire, and that there had been no contact until now, which is why Malcolm's plan worked. ”

“You think I didn't investigate, I found the pirates on that ship, I verified my son's embarkation, and I commissioned customs to check the records of those two men, who were indeed survivors of the pirates' hijacking, or, you mean, Malcolm did these things years ago to control me? ”

“No, Malcolm is not a god, it's impossible to lay it out so early, so the survivors are real, the pirate ship is real, and the robbery is real, except that the people on the ship are not your son, Malcolm must have stumbled upon it, and after understanding the relationship between your father and son, he discovered that there was only one person he really needed to buy, which was the helmsman of the pirate ship back then. ”

Zhang Hengton went on to say, “I found the old man on that boat, which I expected was very frequent, and that was the problem faced by all the small and medium-sized pirates on the island, and they couldn't grab enough trophies, and naturally they couldn't leave people behind. In fact, a lot of people would either fish or plant land, and when they heard that there was a boat going out, the vast majority of people on the boat didn't know each other, or they got off the boat after a short time, but coincidentally, there was a teenager on that boat who was about your son, and that's why Malcolm thought it was available. ”
