Orff's voice fell, and the faces of the pirates on the deck were different.
Most of the newcomers who joined in these days were relieved. Orff made it very clear that the traitors were the people who had fought with him, which means that they are safe in this matter. They can eat melons and watch plays. On the contrary, the old people's expressions are a little ugly.
Some were silent, some could not help shouting abuse, and some doubted that Orff's accusation was groundless. At the same time, people were also looking at each other suspiciously.
And Orff, the initiator of all this, didn't speak again.
His eyes swept the people on the deck again. When it was Zhang Heng's turn, the latter didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that Orff's eyes stayed on him for about half a second longer than others.
Then the helmsman said again, "it's a pity that this traitor doesn't seem to have the courage to admit what he has done. It seems that I can only help him."
With that, he walked in the direction of Zhang Heng, and people's eyes also gathered here. As he walked, Orff took out his short musket.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed in Zhang Heng's head, and one of his hands had already grasped the shadow moment in his pocket.
Orff stopped in front of him and said, "excuse me, can you excuse me?"
After that, he looked over Zhang Heng and looked at the black gunner behind him. The latter suddenly changed his face and said angrily, "Orff, this is revenge! Take revenge on what I challenged you before. " As he said this, he looked to the left and right and said excitedly, "are you just looking at him and slandering me? He can do this to me today, and he can do the same thing for you tomorrow. Eventually, the ship has the final say.
The words of the black Gunners played a certain role, and there was doubt in the eyes of the pirates looking at Orff.
Many pirates have such things as power struggle on board, but generally few people will kill the losers. This will make other pirates on board have a strong sense of crisis. The losers have no principled mistakes, and they are basically desalinated. If Orff is really aiming at Goodwin this time, the impact will be very bad.
He may not be dismissed immediately because he has clues about the treasure, but once he gets the treasure, the crew may unite to overthrow him immediately.
In fact, because of the words of the black gunners, many pirates have already resisted Orff, but the latter is not in a hurry. "If I remember correctly, you were the first people to land when the sea lion landed last time. As a result, less than an hour later, the story that we were looking for treasure was widely spread. Don't tell me it was just an accident."
Goodwin is also a man who has seen big waves. He didn't show any panic on his face. He snorted coldly, "the first group of people who came ashore were nearly 20. Why do you think it was my leak?"
"Because I asked Owen to ask you afterwards, and everyone could tell what they were doing during this period of time and find someone who could prove it. Only you said that you went back to sleep as soon as you got ashore, and no one could prove it."
The black gunner said angrily, "why, do you have to find someone to prove it when you sleep now?"
"Of course not, but then someone saw you come out of Marshall's house. How are you going to explain?" Orff said, facing the crowd, "some of you may not know who Marshall is. He is the largest lender on the island, but his means of debt collection are more powerful than his means of debt."
Orff looked back at Goodwin, whose forehead had begun to exude cold sweat. "It seems that you bribed a lot of people in order to take my place and win votes. I can't help wondering where the money came from? It's not a small price to borrow money from Marshall. No wonder when you lose, you look like you are in despair. As soon as the sea lion landed, the news that you didn't become the helmsman should have spread. Now it's time to pay off the debt, you have no money, so you have to sell the news that we are looking for treasure to Marshall, right? "
The black gunner is not only sweating. Although he is still struggling, insisting that Orff is really slandering him, he seems to be in a bad mood.
Goodwin had to admit that he did borrow money from Marshall. This time, he went to see him to ask him to give him some more time. However, he denied that he had sold the treasure to Marshall, saying that he had never betrayed the sea lion.
However, the eyes of the pirates around him were getting colder and colder, and the people who had stood near him also quietly distanced themselves from him. A look of despair flashed in the eyes of the black gunners.
He suddenly ran to the side of the boat. The sea lion had just left the harbor, not far from Nassau. If he could jump into the water successfully, he would have a good chance to swim back. But the next moment Orff pulled the trigger.
The bullet went into the leg of the black gunner, who fell on the deck after only two steps, and was held down by other pirates.
Orff said, "it's too cheap to kill him like this. Tie him to the mast. It's sunny these days. Let him have a good sun."Goodwin swears, "Orff, you lying old liar! One day you will go to hell too!!! I'm waiting for you there... "
He wanted to go on, but then his mouth was blocked. Several new pirates on board tied him to the main mast with ropes. Their actions were very rude, and they didn't mean to bandage the leg wounds of the latter.
Orff put away his short pistol. "People who know me know that I am not a cruel person and don't like any punishment. But it is my duty to safeguard everyone's interests and ensure the safety of every voyage. I'm not aiming at Mr. Goodwin. I just hope that you can take this as a warning and don't betray this ship and your companions, otherwise Goodwin will be defeated Mr. Wen's today is your tomorrow. Well, now let's continue this treasure hunt. "
Orff said and waved to all the sailors on the deck to return to their posts.
Zhang Heng is checking the starboard lacing, what he didn't expect is that the helmsman came to him again, "how is it, is everything normal?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "there is no problem with the sails."
"That's good." Orff changed his cold and gentle attitude towards the black gunners. "Roscoe thinks highly of you. He said that as long as you are given time to grow up, you will become the best sailor on the sea lion. Before we voted for the sailor, you and old Mike got close votes, just a little bit. Don't lose heart and work hard. This position will be yours sooner or later."
