v2 Chapter 216： patient (1/2)
”What does Captain Zhang Heng mean?” Jarvis looked at his muzzle, converged the smile on his face, revealing a puzzling look, and the other captains looked surprised at this time.
As a result, Zhang Heng's next sentence set off another fierce storm.
”This time we went out to sea, there was always a fleet of navy and pirate hunters behind us. They were going to operate against us tonight. When we were talking, the fleet was coming to us. Actually, they are now It may appear to us at any time. ”
”How is this possible?” Sam the black prince frowned. ”If there were anyone behind us for so many days, we wouldn't be aware of it unless ...”
”Unless someone has betrayed us and leaked our routes to others, those people can hang back far behind.” Brook sneered. ”No wonder my ship would have been attacked somehow before. It turned out that you had already trusted the nobles. ”Well, how about licking their ass, Jarvis.”
Jarvis is indeed an old pirate who has been in this area for many years. He heard his words unchanged and nodded to Brook. ”I can understand your anger. You have always suspected that the previous thing was related to me, so I was provoked. He will be hooked immediately, but fortunately there are other sane people. ”
Jarvis turned his attention to Zhang Heng without waiting for Brooke to answer, and said politely, ”Captain Zhang Heng has made very harsh accusations against me now. Then I want to ask, what evidence do you have to prove yourself? What do you say, how do we know that it is not you who betrayed other people and brought the fleet, or you want to use this method to trick us to swallow the gold by ourselves. ”After he said that, he spread his arms.
Jarvis's words sounded reasonable and got the approval of the majority of the captains present, especially the last sentence directly turned the finger on Zhang Heng, even Brooke could not help but shake.
Compared with Zhang Heng, they and Jarvis have known each other for a long time. The latter is an old man from Nassau. In contrast, Zhang Heng ’s rise on the island is too short. This is the first time everyone has cooperated strictly. When it comes to trusting them, of course, they are more inclined to believe in the latter. No one can guarantee that Zhang Heng is not lying now, using the fleet as an excuse to fool them away, and then secretly come back to take away the gold.
This is the most powerful part of Jarvis. When he contacted the naval fleet, he thought that the drip was not leaking, but was eventually known by Zhang Heng. He thought about it, and the only thing he could arrange was to guard the boat in the woods. The man was arrested, but those people and he were all on a boat, and certainly would not admit such a thing, and of course they could not rule out the possibility of telling the truth under the threat of death.
However, if the knife holder is around the neck, people will admit it, even if nothing happened, so it is actually difficult to say how credible their statement is. At this time, Jarvis stirred the water, although he did not elute himself. The suspicions on his body could successfully delay time until the fleet arrived.
However, he also had to admit that Zhang Heng's allegations did cause him a lot of trouble. His original plan was to pretend to resist with the people on the beach when the navy arrived, but later he joined the opposite side to Sa. Mu and others took a fierce blow from behind, but now it seems that the plan is a mess.
With Zhang Heng's reminder, Sam and others will definitely take precautions against him. He also has to consider how to protect himself after the arrival of the fleet, but no matter what, he has at least survived the current crisis.
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Heng with a free look.
Sure enough, the black prince Sam groaned for a moment and then said, ”This matter needs to be investigated first. So, since everyone believes me, I can first arrange for manpower to monitor the movement over the harbor ...”
