Chapter 192

"Aren't you going to explain what happened on the beach?" Hornig didn't look good.

"The beach? What's the matter? " Zhang Heng asked.

Honige cursed shamelessly. Everyone knows who did what happened on the beach, but Zhang Heng did not leave any direct evidence. What's more important is that Wilton and the pirates under him were all dead, and they could not even find their personal certificates.

Hornig didn't want to argue on this issue. He said bluntly, "don't you worry about causing public anger on the island by shelling ships moored in the harbor and killing the whole Pirate Group?"

"And who would be angry about that?"

Hoenig was at a loss for a moment.

He was just annoyed at the trouble Zhang Heng caused, but he didn't have time to think about it. The two problems he said were really serious for the pirates on the island. After all, no one has two enemies these days, and no one wants to be cut throat when they sleep.

But the key is that the identity of the skeleton group is not the pirates on the island, but a group of outsiders. In fact, their previous arrogance has attracted many people's disgust. From the onlookers on the beach this morning, we can see that they have no sympathy for Wilton's death, but are shocked by Zhang Heng's decision.

Of course, the resulting alert also exists, but it is not too strong.

Zhang Heng said, "Captain Honig, I know that you have paid a lot to maintain the order on the island. Because of you and your crew, Nassau can be peaceful up to now. For this, I am just as grateful as other people on the island, and I have no intention to destroy your efforts. You have also contacted Wilton. You should know what kind of person he is. With respect, your expectations are impossible from the beginning. He and his group will not stay on the island honestly. "

"So instead, I should thank you for helping me solve this problem?" Honig sneered.

"To be fair, would you rather see his body on the beach to argue with me when you wake up in the morning, or would you rather see my body to argue with him?" Zhang Heng is calm and peaceful.

Honige was silent. Even if he was angry now, he had to admit that Zhang Heng was willing to be reasonable, at least, compared with the barbarians who were completely unreasonable and only saw whose fists were big. But when he thought that the latter was reasonable, he couldn't help a pain.

But by this time, his anger was almost gone, and Zhang Heng didn't do it completely. Although Nassau knew who killed the skeleton group, at least Zhang Heng didn't admit that he did it.

The problem now is how to deal with the impact of this incident. In the past, he didn't have to worry so much about it. He could directly investigate Zhang Heng's responsibility, and even use his own prestige to drive him out of the island. But now, with Zhang Heng's reputation, it's very difficult for him to do that. But if he gives in and does nothing, it's too weak, He didn't know if he could hold the fort after that.

He was used to life on land and couldn't go back to the sea.

Honig is in a dilemma. Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng on the opposite side said first, "many people don't realize the importance of Captain Honig to Nassau's stability. Only when you and your men guard the coast can we safely go to sea, but guarding Nassau should never be just one person's responsibility."

Hornig picked his eyebrows, waiting for Zhang Heng's words.

The latter didn't disappoint him. Zhang Heng continued, "I'd like to make a statement to guard the fortress with captain Hornig. Of course, the fortress is still controlled by you and your people in peacetime. Only when there is danger can my people join in the fight. Any provocation to you will also be regarded as a provocation to jackdaw."

As soon as Zhang Heng's voice fell, he saw a group of people coming to this side in the distance.

The leader is Domingo. Although he is drunk, he is still surprised to hear that Hornig asks Zhang Heng for a crime. What Zhang Heng has done has been uploaded on the island. Although there are not many hands on the jackdaw, no one dares to underestimate him now. Domingo is worried about the safety of Hornig and almost brings everyone in the fort.

Everyone is ready to face a fierce battle. Although their strength has deteriorated to a certain extent over the years, they really have no problem with loyalty. As a result, when they come here, they see that Hornig and Zhang Heng are not at all at war. On the contrary, they have a good talk.

Domingo didn't understand, but he didn't care so much. He was relieved to see that Hornig was OK.

"I'm old, and it's time for you young people." "You and Sam are Nassau's future, and we old arms and legs can only stay with a pile of broken stones, but you can rest assured that as long as I stay in that fort for a day, I will guard the rear for you for a day, so that you can gallop on the sea at ease."

…………

The reason why Zhang Heng chose to kill Wilton so simply was that he knew very well that there was a hostile relationship between the two sides. From the beginning, there was no room for maneuver. If he didn't kill all the people on the skeleton, Wilton would repair the ship and his body would be on the beach. Therefore, Zhang Heng decided to do it when no one thought of it.In addition, he also wants to borrow Wilton's body to send out a message - anyone who dares to touch Carlina's transport ship, this is the end.

He has completely broken with the black business alliance. Now, not only Kalina can't do without the jackdaw, but the latter is also important to the Jackdaw. The businesswoman is the only channel for the Jackdaw to transport its spoils out of the island. Zhang Heng must ensure the safety of this channel.

As for the contradiction between him and Honig, it is not the matter itself. The key lies in Honig's control over the fort. This problem is not difficult to solve. The alliance between Zhang Heng and Honig is the result of thinking.

Among Nassau's two major pirates, he has already broken off with Fraser. At this time, Hornig's support is particularly important to him. On the other hand, Hornig's prestige is still there, but his strength can't be compared with a few years ago. Jackdaw, a powerful new ally, can also consolidate his control over the fort.

Zhang Heng himself has no interest in the fortress, and his age is not likely to be mildewed like honiger's nest. On the contrary, it is more meaningful for him to have an ally to control the fortress.

All in all, it's a win-win choice, and Hornig has no reason to refuse.
