Chapter 243: Two Sets of Rhetoric
"The helmsman is the one on that ship who is responsible for recruiting men, and the only one who knows where everyone came from." Zhang Heng said to Eugene, "If you find someone to verify this matter later, you will definitely find the helmsman of that ship, and he will tell you that your son is on that ship, as for the others, because too much time has passed, they only remember that there was indeed a teenager who was on the ship, but this seems to further confirm what the helmsman said, and make you believe that your son is indeed on that ship." ”
Karina's face was no less surprised than Eugene's, "You mean that Malcolm doesn't actually have any handle on his hand at all, he just creates the illusion that he has a handle in his hand." ”
"Yes."
"Wait, but what about the two survivors, why did one of them join the Navy and the other went to the Doge's Palace, and if they had nothing to do with it, why did Malcolm protect them so much......
"No, you still don't understand, it's not Malcolm who sent them to join the Navy and the Governor's Palace, but Malcolm chose them after he found out that they joined the Navy and the Governor's Palace, making the whole plan impeccable and more believable, and it's actually quite easy to prove the problem." Zhang Heng asked Eugene, "When you first learned the news, did they have already joined the Navy and the Governor's Palace?" ”
Eugene was silent for a moment and nodded, "After all, seven years have passed since that incident, and I myself have returned to the colony to learn about it, confirming that they have entered the Navy and the Governor's Palace two years ago, and found that they have no chance, I naturally thought that Malcolm did this, and I also felt that he was really terrible, and I actually prepared two years in advance for the sake of calculation, which made me desperate and discouraged for a while." ”
"So Malcolm knows that the relationship between your father and son is bad, and he knows how important your son is to you, so he faked your son's pirate experience with the help of a real incident that happened before in order to control you." The businesswoman shuddered as she wondered what kind of Malcolm was more terrifying, invulnerable and without any weaknesses, or if she had played all her opponents in the palm of her hand as she was now.
On the contrary, Eugene himself quickly calmed down after the initial excitement, the rope that had been around his neck all these years showed signs of loosening, and his whole person seemed to be different from before, sitting on the chair, straightening his back, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at Zhang Heng opposite.
"I have to admit that you are close to convincing me, but so far these are only your inferences, you have no more direct evidence other than the handwritten letter from my son, but my son and I have not seen each other for almost ten years, I don't recognize his handwriting, how do you know that it is not you who deceived me?"
Eugene paused, "I've heard about the conflict between you and the Black Merchant Alliance, the two of you have gone to such great lengths to solve the trouble of my irrelevant person, you must also need me to help you deal with Malcolm, I can agree to your request, but I need more evidence to make sure that my son can be safe and sound when I really fight Malcolm, this request is not too much, right?" ”
"Actually, the easiest way is to go directly to your son and talk to him face-to-face." Zhang Hengdao.
Eugene fell silent again, this time the time was extraordinarily long, the four people in the room did not speak, the air seemed to freeze, and I don't know how long it took for the intelligence dealer to speak again, and smiled miserably, "I'm not sure if I'm still qualified to be his father, I chose the most cowardly way when the fire broke out, I ran out of the house alone, and at that moment I had lost them forever, and I couldn't get his forgiveness again." ”
"Maybe it's just because you've never tried to ask him to forgive you." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he stood up from his seat, pushed open the wooden door behind him, and revealed the balcony behind him, where a young man who looked like Eugene was standing there, looking at the former with a complicated expression.
Carmen, who had not spoken on the other side, spoke up and said gently, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this in advance, I'm worried that you won't want to go to the appointment, but anyway, you can finally meet again, and we'll leave the rest of the time to you father and son." ”
After speaking, she took the lead in getting up and leaving the house, Zhang Heng and Karina followed, and closed the door behind her at the same time.
The three of them went downstairs to the living room, Carmen went to fetch wine for the two, there were so many surprising things tonight, Karina was not completely relieved, and after a moment said, "You got his son back?" ”
Zhang Heng nodded, "Eugene is a very cautious person, if he is not sure enough, it is impossible for him to help us deal with Malcolm, but it is not easy to get his son back, the prejudice between him and Eugene is very deep, according to the normal development, they should meet again at Eugene's funeral." ”
"And how did you get him back?"
"I prepared two sets of rhetoric in advance, one from his mother's point of view, and one from his blood relationship with Eugene."
"Which one convinced him?"
"No, but fortunately I still have a hand, and I have the man who sent him to tell him that if he is willing to go back to Nassau, I can pay him forty gold coins." Zhang Heng said, "Although the board and lodging are all-inclusive in the navy, the income of a low-level officer like him is not high, and if he wants to climb up, he needs more activity funds, and he is unwilling to accept his father's funding, of course, considering my identity, this money will eventually need to be paid through Miss Carmen." ”
Karina took a moment to digest it all, then said, "So now we've won Eugene." ”
"If nothing else, yes, Laeri's side is about the same, and tomorrow night I'll have Billy and twenty crew members waiting for him on the west side of the island, which is the closest coast to Terence Manor, and there is nothing but shells and sand, and there are very few people on normal times, and the Jackdaw can take advantage of the night to take them away from Nassau.
"Once those letters are obtained, coupled with Eugene's accusations, Malcolm will soon lose his reputation, other black marketeers will not allow a person with so many stains on him to continue to be at the helm of the Black Merchants Alliance, and given Raymond's relationship with Normande, he can't sit idly by and ignore what happened three years ago, and it will be difficult for Malcolm to turn the tables this time."
