Chapter 139

Belomont did not expect to meet an acquaintance in the carriage. Lord Elmer, the captain of the Scarborough, was sitting next door to him. However, when they met, the latter's face was a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth and said nothing.

In addition, opposite them sat a man in a navy uniform.

As the carriage sped down the street, belomont said calmly, "who are you and why did you kidnap me?"

"I'm Edward teach. I'm sure you're familiar with the name." The man said faintly that belomont turned pale when he heard the words. Of course, people in the new world have heard of Captain Blackbeard's bad reputation. People like belomont, who have been working hard to fight pirates, are also well-known for the most famous pirate leader in the Caribbean. In fact, belomont has planned several encirclement and suppression operations against captain Blackbeard, but they failed, On the contrary, it makes the latter more famous.

Belomont dreams of catching each other, but he is not happy when Edward titchie really appears in front of him. However, belomont is a person who has seen a big scene after all. His surprise only stays on his face for less than two seconds, and then he regains his previous bearing. Elmer is ashamed of himself.

"It's Mr. teech. I've heard a lot about him. I've finally met a real person this time."

"Unfortunately, it's not the first time we've met."

Belomont looked puzzled. "Have we met before? When?"

"For the first time? I should have been at Naval School at that time. I still remember the scene when you walked in with him that day. "

"He?"

"It seems that you are really forgetful, count. I'll give you another hint. Did you think about the starting point in 1695?"

Belomont's look suddenly changed, no longer before the crisis, eyes full of doubt, "who are you?"

"At that time, he was a hero of the Navy, the most famous adventurer in England, and also won the Queen's personal commendation. You just took over the post of governor of the colony, and you were still worried about how to exterminate the pirates and resume maritime trade. In order to deal with the two most powerful pirates in the new world, Henry evry and Thomas Tu, you found him and begged him to help The sea catches pirates for you.

"He didn't agree at the beginning, because he was tired of war, but you didn't give up. You have been trying to persuade him to fight for the prosperity of the new world. He was finally moved by your sincerity and friendship and decided to accept this mission. I also boarded his ship at that time and became his Quartermaster."

"That was the happiest day for me. I was able to sail out to sea with my idols all the time and work hard to build a beautiful new continent. It's hard for you to find a more exciting future." It was something to be happy about, but there was a chill in his voice.

"However, the operation was not very smooth from the beginning. Before we left the port, we were stopped by the Navy. They said that the war in Spain was tense and almost all the sailors on our ship were taken away. We had no choice but to recruit another group of people in the shortest time. We wandered out of the port in a bumpy way for six months, but we never found them The whereabouts of Lee evry and Thomas Tu

"The atmosphere on the ship began to become tense. Many of the sailors we recruited in a hurry were originally local villains and hooligans. They went out to sea in search of wealth. Now that they can't get a reward, they don't mind using something else to make up for it."

There were only three people on the ship who had been to the Naval School at that time. Except him, only the chief mate and I were left. However, the three of us could not control the situation on the ship. When I pacified the crew, I was tied up, beaten severely and thrown into the sheepfold on the ship. The sailors threatened to kill me in three days. In order to save my life, he was the worst At last, I had to comply with the demands of the sailors

"We chose a French merchant ship as our target, but we didn't expect that the ship belonged to the East India Company. In the battle, the flag of rice was hoisted on the opposite side. Although we convinced the sailors to choose to retreat, someone on the ship recognized him. From then on, there were rumors all over the new continent that we had become pirates."

"It was the darkest period of my life. I don't know what I did wrong. God would let this happen to us. He comforted me and gave me confidence. He made me believe that as long as we return to the civilized world, we can get rid of the crime and tell the truth to the world."

"That was the only power that supported me at that time, but I didn't expect that the process would be so long. It was only four years later when we met another group of pirates and the crew decided to join us that they finally let us go. In the end, only 13 people, including me, were willing to follow him back to the colony."

"We decided to go ashore in New York, contact the Navy, and make public what happened in recent years. At that time, you had become the most outstanding governor of the colony by virtue of your achievements in eliminating pirates. You were worried that you might be involved with us and affect your political career. So you sent someone to find us and tell him that you understand and sympathize with what we have suffered, I'm willing to help us get rid of our crimes. ""I reminded him, but he trusted you so much that he didn't hesitate to give you all the letters we had plundered and sent to you before leaving the port. He believed that you and your allies in Whitehall could give us back our innocence. You always knew what kind of person he was, didn't you? He always has a certain expectation of the civilized world and is willing to believe in its goodwill. "

Belomont's breathing became rapid when he heard this. He straightened his bow tie, but the cold voice in his ear did not disappear.

"But then you betrayed him, took him to Boston, arrested him when he had just set foot on the land, burned the letters that could be used as evidence, swallowed the stolen goods he had given you, and sent this Mr. Elmer next to you to take him back to London for trial. In order to ensure that he could not say anything against you, you hinted that Elmer was on the way Take good care of him.

"I heard that he was insane before he returned to England. Those people hanged him by the river Thames and left his body there for two years. They called him the most terrible pirate in the new world, and once again they won the award of Whitehall for catching you."

The Lord next door left a cold sweat after hearing the speech. He didn't expect that this incident even involved himself. He stammered with a cry in his voice, "I I really don't know about you. At that time, I was just a man in charge of running errands. I couldn't refuse Mr. count... "

It's a pity that his words stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech. Elmer didn't expect that the man opposite him was so straightforward at the last moment before he died. He didn't even have the chance to explain. He took out his short pistol and pulled the trigger.

Edward teach didn't even look at the fresh corpse in his seat. Instead, he looked at the count beside him. His voice sounded colder than the sea.

"I told the pirates outside that I came for Kidd's treasure, but I know better than anyone that Kidd didn't leave any treasure at all. I came here tonight just for one thing, that is to avenge him."

Belomont can no longer maintain even the surface calm, his eyes full of fear, the whole person curled up in the seat, constantly shivering, "what you want, what you want I can give you, I can provide you amnesty, you can also give a generation of children can not spend the wealth."

"Don't bother. I'll take what I want by myself." Edward teach finally finished his last sentence and clenched the sword in his hand. At this moment, he no longer had the violent breath of the past, but only had a deep sadness.
