Chapter 539: Petition for Nomination
At noon the next day, private school. Heaven's Voice. 『⒉
"Sir, this kid John is too slippery, I took him to the brothel last night to drink all night, during which he tried his best but he pretended to be confused, and said nothing about those red-haired things!"
Zhang Cheng walked into Li Hongyu's office with a depressed face, and said with some annoyance:
"Sir, I saw that the kid was Wang Ba eating scales, and he was determined to be a popular dog, it was better to find someone to arrest him, this kid is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he is tortured to extract a confession, he will definitely confess everything."
Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, he had long thought that things would not go so smoothly, John was a smart person, so he naturally knew that his backstage was those Dutch, so how could he leak the news of the Dutch to Zhangcheng, the natives of Jilonggang?
"He is the translator of the red hair, and he usually has access to some confidential matters, if he can be used by me, then we can know what the red hairy wants to do in the future."
Afterwards, Li Hongyu smiled at Zhang Cheng and said, "Since he values his Hongmaoyi master so much, then let's dispel this illusion of his." ”
"What does Mr. mean......" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but show a puzzled look on his face when he heard this, and he didn't understand Li Hongyu's intentions for a while.
Li Hongyu beckoned to Zhang Cheng to come over, and then whispered in his ear, hearing Zhang Cheng nodding his head again and again.
"Sir's clever plan, I'll do it." After Li Hongyu finished explaining, Zhang Cheng excitedly bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and left in a hurry.
Li Hongyu looked at Zhang Cheng's back, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and John wanted to fight with him a little too tender.
According to Li Hongyu's instructions, Zhang Cheng accompanied John to eat, drink and have fun in the next few days, and became a pair of friends with wine and meat, and never mentioned the matter of inquiring about the news.
This made John gradually relax his vigilance, someone invited him to play, he naturally went happily, what should be eaten, what should be drunk, what should be taken, not at all polite, people who take advantage of it are fools.
Finally, after Joseph stayed in Chicken Coop Harbor for a few days, the forces that are now in Chicken Coop Harbor are all looking forward to Liu Dahai, Shi Hu, and Onitsuka Musashi Ma, and Liu Dahai, Shi Hu, and Onitsuka Musashi have no interest in attacking Penghu, which makes him feel very disappointed.
Of course, Joseph also gained from coming to Jilong Harbor this time, that is, he made several big deals with the pirates and armed maritime merchants of Jilong Harbor, and he was able to make a lot of profits from it, and maintained a good relationship with the people of Jilong Harbor, so as not to be attacked from behind by the people of Jilong Harbor when he attacked Penghu at that time.
Before leaving, Zhang Cheng specially set up a banquet in the brothel to see John off, accompanied by several girls, the two of them staggered, talking and laughing, like a pair of old friends, making the atmosphere very warm.
"Brother John, you finally came here, brother, why do I have to give you a gift."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Cheng, who was full of alcohol, put his arms around John's shoulders and said with a mouthful of wine.
"What's so embarrassing about that." John's face was flushed at this time, he was already a little drunk, and he looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile when he heard the words, secretly guessing in his heart what good things Zhang Cheng could give him.
"This thing of mine is a treasure, I took it from a rich merchant at sea, go, I'll show you it."
Zhang Cheng burped, got up and pulled John out, whispering as he walked, "Don't tell anyone that this thing is with me." ”
"Don't worry, brother, my mouth is very strict." John's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, but he knew that Zhang Cheng was a pirate, so he nodded hurriedly, and the smile on his face was extremely bright, so he was not sure that he would make a deal.
"The wine and food will be renewed, and when Brother John and I come back to continue drinking, you are not allowed to leave." When he walked to the door, Zhang Cheng said to several girls in the house.
"Master, you can rest assured, we will be yours tonight." Several girls smiled and waved their hands to Zhang Cheng and John, "The two masters will come back early, don't let the slave family wait for a long time." ”
"Don't worry, I'm going to come back tonight and eat you all." Zhang Cheng laughed when he heard this, and walked out with John shoulder to shoulder.
"Hello, Mr. Captain."
In the lobby on the first floor of the brothel, Zhang Cheng and John met a Dutch officer in military uniform, who was leaving accompanied by a middle-aged man.
John naturally knew the identity of the captain, who was Joseph's adjutant, and quickly nodded and said hello, but he didn't know who the middle-aged man who had invited the captain to the banquet was.
The captain glanced at John, who was flushed with drink, with some disgust, and then followed the middle-aged man away.
"Damn, what are you proud of, you provoked Lao Tzu and slaughtered your red hair with a knife!" When the captain left, John couldn't help but lash at his back, and cursed in a low voice.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and a look of disdain appeared on his face, which was very shameful for John's shameless and cowardly behavior.
This sudden episode did not dampen John's interest, and he happily followed Zhang Cheng out of the brothel to see the gifts that Zhang Cheng had prepared for him.
"This is it." Zhang Cheng led John around the town a few times before coming to the door of a house, smiling and knocking on the door.
John's eyes immediately showed a strange look, he couldn't wait to know what treasure Zhang Cheng would give him, he was still a little vigilant in his heart, but when he met the Dutch captain in the brothel, he was immediately unwary, once he had an accident, the Dutch captain would definitely know that Zhang Cheng did it.
"Stuff in there, I hope Brother John likes it." Soon, the courtyard door opened, and Zhang Cheng led John into the courtyard, and said with a smile pointing to the hall in front of him.
John smiled when he heard this, and followed Zhang Cheng into the hall in a hurry, and then froze there, with a stunned look on his face.
In the hall, two Dutch soldiers, tied like rice dumplings, curled up on the ground, with rags in their mouths, struggled desperately when they saw John enter, and whining sounds.
After the initial consternation, John realized that the situation was not good, and before he had time to think about it, he was about to pull out his legs and slip away, when several big men jumped out from behind the door, slammed the door shut, and glared at him fiercely.
Cold sweat suddenly ran down John's forehead, knowing that he was calculated by Zhang Cheng, he was completely drunk in an instant.
"This is a gold ingot, each full of ten taels, but it is a great treasure." Zhang Cheng took two gold ingots from the hands of a big man in the house, bumped them in front of his eyes, and then stuffed them into John's hands with a smile.
"This ......"
Seeing this, John was immediately confused, holding the two gold ingots in his hand and looking at Zhang Cheng in amazement, he thought that Zhang Cheng was going to kill him, but Zhang Cheng gave him two gold ingots.
"Of course, you didn't take these two ingots for nothing, you need to do one thing!"
Under John's puzzled gaze, Zhang Cheng took a sharp short knife from a big man's hand, touched the blade with his fingers, and walked towards John with a smile.
"To ...... What to do? John's face immediately turned pale, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, staring at the short knife in Zhang Cheng's hand with frightened eyes.
"Take it!" Zhang Cheng pinched the blade of the short knife and handed the handle to John.
John hesitated, put the two gold ingots in his pocket, and took the short knife suspiciously, not knowing what Zhang Cheng wanted him to do.
Zhang Cheng then waved his hand, and two big men stepped forward to bring over a Dutch soldier in his thirties, who struggled desperately, but unfortunately could not break free.
"Today, only one of the two of you can get out alive, either you or him!"
Under John's suspicious gaze, Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the Dutch soldier, smiled and said to him, "For the sake of our friendship, I will give you the first choice, do you want to kill him now?" ”
"Kill...... Kill him? ”
John's face changed dramatically when he heard this, he had never killed anyone, let alone the Dutch soldiers who killed him for service, if other Dutch soldiers knew where he still had the possibility of survival, and his family would also be implicated.
"Tell you, there won't be this shop after this village, wait until I give him the knife, do you think he will show mercy to your men?"
Seeing the horror on John's face, Zhang Cheng approached him and said with a smile, "In case you die, there will be no one to collect the corpse, so you can only throw it into the sea to feed the fish!" ”
"Brother Zhang, let me go, I really can't do it."
Hearing this, John swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, then knelt on the ground with his legs bent, took out the two gold ingots from his pocket and put them on the ground, and pleaded with Zhang Cheng, "I don't want anything, I will return everything I used to give you, I am an errand runner, there are old and young, you have a lot of them, let me go." ”
"If you don't come here, then I definitely won't involve you, but now that you're here, you already know about us, so one is to kill this red hairy Yi as a vote, and the other is to die here."
Zhang Cheng leaned over and looked at John with a smile, "You can think about it carefully, if you miss this opportunity, then it will be too late to regret it!" ”
"Please let me go, let me go!"
Where did John dare to kill, and when he heard this, he kowtowed to Zhang Cheng again and again, "As long as you let me go, I am willing to do whatever you want me to do." ”
"Brother John, get up quickly, in fact, I'm also for your own good, those red-haired people don't treat you as a human being at all, so why should you work for them."
Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand to help John up, and then persuaded him with bitter words, "Instead of being wronged there, it is better to be a person with dignity." ”
"Hold it tight!" As he spoke, Zhang Cheng asked John to hold the knife in both hands and shouted in a deep voice.
John didn't know why, so he subconsciously obeyed Zhang Cheng's order, and before he could react, Zhang Cheng suddenly pushed him in the back, and John stumbled and rushed forward.
With a poof, John felt that the short knife in his hand seemed to be pierced into something soft, and when he looked up, he was immediately frightened, and quickly let go of the hand holding the short knife, and looked at the Dutch soldier in front of him who was supported by two big men.
The Dutchman, with a short knife stuck in his chest, stared at John in disbelief, not expecting John to kill him.
"No...... Not me! ”
Seeing this, John hurriedly waved his hand at the Dutch soldier, his face turned pale, and his mind was blank, he never thought that he would actually kill someone, and he still killed the difficult Dutch soldier.
