Chapter 262: Cross-examination (Part II)

Plekhanov ignored his men, but looked at the flag fluttering on the ship and asked Consdante: "Then why do you fly the Polish flag?" ”

"Because this is a Polish ship!" "You see, the boats are all Poles, and we really don't know anything." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info was deceived by a group of people to say that you can make a fortune here.,I didn't expect to meet you, sir! Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here for anything, and this would have killed us if we weren't careful. If I hadn't smashed all my own money, I would have turned back immediately! Constance Dante wept and mourned, and even Belchis felt that he was going to be deceived by him, and it seemed that Consité Dante's ten years of seclusion in Constantinople were quite effective.

It's just that this Nicaean captain is really difficult! Constance Dante secretly clenched his fists, even if the other party was the captain of this battleship, he alone did not dare to guarantee that he could control the situation. He still pretended to be timid and scared, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"Don't you know there's a war here?" Plekhanov suddenly snorted coldly, completely without the lazy look he had before. This made Cons Dante feel his heart sink to the bottom of his heart. For now, it is not clear exactly what the situation will be, but it is better to be cautious after all.

"I don't know, sir!" Constance Dante swore with a smile. "We came from Novgorod. I really don't know what's going on here! ”

Saying that, he pretended to be bitter, and it was hard to imagine that the former knight king would show such an expression.

Looking at all this, not only the Novgorod guards looked at each other, but even Berches almost couldn't recognize that Consitan Dante would show such an appearance. Although it's acting, it's too much like the real thing! Berhis, who thinks it is incredible, is naturally quiet, but it is really difficult to say whether he can fool the past.

But at this moment, Plekhanov still didn't seem to believe it. His instincts always gave him an indescribable feeling about the ship.

"Captain, is there something wrong?" I didn't expect it to take so long, and the first mate on the deck of the battleship also felt that something was wrong and asked. "Do you need me to bring someone down for a check-up?"

But Plekhanov, who insisted on getting on the ship to inspect, waved his hand at his subordinates, "You don't have to come down, I'm just making sure that there is no problem here." Then he looked Considae up and down and asked, "Boy, what do you have on board?" Take me to see it! ”

"Captain—" The first mate frowned, and his mood was very displeased, "We don't need to worry about these things now, do we?" "Smuggling by sea in wartime is a common occurrence, and there is no need for Plekhanov to be so serious. They're not here to patrol, and there's no extra time to waste.

However, Captain Plekhanov, who was urged, ignored his subordinates at all, and still looked at Constance Dante and asked: "If you don't make it clear, I need to detain you as spies!" ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, both Consité Dante and Bersches subconsciously chuckled in their hearts. But they still kept their expressions and did not let Plekhanov see any flaws.

And Constance Dante hurriedly showed a wry smile, as if pleading, and said: "Sir, we are really here to do business!" Even if it's something on the black market, it's not a spy at all! Please be sure to open the net! ”

But Plekhanov had a sneer on his face, and said in a cold voice in the ear of Constance Dante: "Don't play any tricks in front of me, or I will make you regret telling a lie!" ”

Have you been discovered?

Conseidante's shoulders fluttered slightly, but the timid and fearful look on his face was pretended to be so fascinating that Plekhanov could not find a flaw at all. But even so, the subtle look in the other party's eyes did not change, as long as there was any fluctuation on Constance Dante's face, it seemed as if he would be captured. However, even so, Constance Dante still maintained his disguise, so the others did not act rashly.

"What do you mean? I...... I don't understand it at all! Constance Dante, despite his nervousness, decided to take a gamble, "If you don't believe me, you can go in and see if we're really not spies!" ”

"Then take me there!" Plekhanov glanced at Consitine and said, without the slightest hint of refusal. As you can imagine, Constance Dante has no choice.

Although, Elenore was also prepared for such a situation, but the ship's cargo hold was cotton, which was not a strategic material, but the Seljuks were now fighting with the Crusaders, and they were about to spend the winter, and they undoubtedly needed a lot of winter military uniforms, so the price of cotton in the country had risen several times, and even the Italian merchants were ready to move, and this reason was not flawed. But having said that, Constance Dante actually didn't dare to guarantee it, and somehow, Constance Dante also felt that this battleship didn't seem to be so simple, just patrolling the sea. The Crusaders and Seljuk navies had left the sea, but they seemed to be looking for something at sea.

The meeting between the two sides can never be such a simple thing! If it weren't for Elenno, Cons Dante would have almost thought that the news of his trip to the East had been exposed.

"Then take me to see it!" At this moment, Plekhanov was secretly looking at Constance Dante's whole body, although he couldn't see any suspicion in this young man at all, but their appearance made him suspicious, especially Constance Dante, inexplicably he felt a strangeness, although it was an indescribable feeling, but he vaguely felt that this young man's timid and fearful appearance at this time was completely a disguise. Beneath that camouflage is definitely a completely different side.

After all, people have two sides, especially some actually terrifying characters, who can be as cunning as a fox or as fierce as a lion.

…… Constance Dante, who was completely chilled by the other party's eyes, although there was still no fluctuation, he also felt that the situation would get worse and worse if it continued like this.

Is it really going to be pushed to that point?

At this time, Constance Dante did not even dare to make eye contact with Belshis, for fear that he would be exposed.

"......" was silent for a moment, and then Cons Dante suddenly retracted his expression and did not ask for anything more, "Since this is the case, then you can bring someone in and search for it, I can guarantee that there is nothing forbidden!" It's just some cotton. With that, Constance Dante got out of the way. And Berchis was not moved, and now it seems that if he is not careful, the battle may be on the verge of breaking out!

At this moment, on the steelclad ship, there was a "plop", and the first mate jumped directly from above.

"Captain, we don't have that much time to waste! His Majesty wants us to catch ......," cried the first mate, trying to dissuade his own commander from his willfulness. But he quickly realized that he had lost his words, and quickly stopped talking. But they do have urgent tasks, and no time can be wasted. But his commander couldn't listen to his own persuasion and took the time to interrogate this smuggling ship, he really couldn't understand.

"John, it won't take long, and the whereabouts of the people we're going to arrest are not certain now. At the very least, make sure there are no people we're looking for on this ship. Plekhanov looked at it coldly and did not listen to the dissuasion of his subordinates.

And every time he said a word, Consitine, Dante and Berthes subconsciously trembled in their hearts.

Arrest? Who the hell is it? Could it be that their whereabouts have really been exposed? It seems that a battle is really inevitable!

But even so, Constance Dante was still hinting to his subordinates not to act rashly, and said with a smile: "Sir, I'll take you to the warehouse!" ”

Plekhanov nodded silently and followed Consité Dante.

"Wait, Captain!"

"You just stay on it, I'll take the people down to see and come back, if there is really no problem, I'll let them go!" As he spoke, Plekhanov returned to his usual appearance and snorted.

But Constance Dante would not let his guard down. He could feel that this man was definitely not so simple to deal with.

……

The heavily armed naval soldiers followed behind Consitine and Plekhanov, and Constituente naturally did not dare to move, after all, dozens of guns were pointed at him behind him, and the slightest carelessness would be beaten into a sieve.

There wasn't much space in the cabin, and Constance Dante walked slowly, and it was a long time before they reached the door of the hold.

"Open the door!" Glancing faintly at Constance Dante, Plekhanov said. The door was wooden and unlocked, but he asked Constance Dante to open it himself.

"Understood, understood!" Constance, Dante still pretended to be a small businessman, nodded and opened the door of the warehouse.

And inside the warehouse, as Constance Dante said, is indeed white cotton, and the quality is very good.

"Can I go in and have a look?" Plekhanov asked.

"Of course, of course!" Constance Dante hurriedly said, in this warehouse, to be precise, there is nothing on the entire ship that can prove his identity, so Constance Dante will not have anything to worry about!

"That's good." The man nodded, and walked in with his soldiers, which was much more spacious, and without saying a word, Plekhanov drew his sword from his waist and stabbed it in.

Such a scene made Cons Dante a little confused, did the other party still think that he was hiding someone here?

"Sir, how can someone be hiding here?" Cons, Dante pleaded, still pretending to be frightened and distressed by the goods.

But Plekhanov's smile startled Cons-Dante.

"If there are no Tibetans, I'm afraid not!" As he spoke, Plekhanov suddenly pulled out the short gun on his waist and shouted:

"If you don't come out again, I'll burn this place on fire!"

Under such prestige, even Cons Dante was taken aback by the other party, everyone should be on the deck, could it be said that someone had sneaked into this place?

Just as Constance Dante was puzzled, a small figure appeared in sight, leaving Constance Dante dumbfounded.

"Ekarina, how are you here?"

The screaming Constance Dante hurriedly stood in front of the thin girl, and said to Plekhanov with a smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" ”

But before Consdante could finish speaking, Plekhanov put down the short gun in his hand and said with an interested face: "It's not, it's really a disappointment!" I thought it was hiding here. Looking at the girl in front of him, of course he wouldn't associate her with the object of his hunt.

"Is she ......?"

"My sister, I don't know how she's hiding here. You see, there's really no one else here. "Constance, Dante, really wanted to send the other man away at once. It would be a torment for these Nicaeans to stay longer.

After glancing at the corner for a moment, Plekhanov didn't say anything more, but left here with his troops with a grim face.

Looking at the other party's departing figure, Consdant Dante was able to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Ekarina who suddenly appeared on his ship, Consda Dante didn't have the heart to interrogate what was going on, so he was about to leave.

"Brother Consitine...... Dante" Ekarina saw that Consei-Dante was about to leave, and did not say a word to herself, and stopped talking.

But Constance Dante waved his hand, put his index finger to his mouth to signal Ekarina not to make a sound, and left the cabin, leaving only Ekarina alone, who looked aggrieved.

……

I saw Plekhanov come up from under the cabin with a gloomy face.

First Officer John hurriedly stepped forward, "Captain, are you okay?" ”

"What do you say, John?" Plekhanov, who looked distracted, said that in fact how much he wished that the person he was looking for was on this ship, and although he could not see the flaw, he really felt the danger that Cons-Dante gave him very clearly. Obviously, he can't say why, just like a woman with intuition, he himself finds it a little funny.

"Down-"

"Nothing is a problem!" The man waved his hand, and this finally allowed Cons, Dante and Berchis to breathe a sigh of relief. It looks like we can finally get rid of this trouble.

"And now are we?" First Officer John asked tentatively.

"Take them away!" Plekhanov made a direct decision with a wave of his hand!

"What!?"

And at this moment, First Officer John and Constance Dante shouted in shock at the same time! (To be continued.) )
