Chapter 138： the truth

Belomont did not expect to meet an acquaintance in the carriage, and Lord Elmer, the captain of the Scarborough, was sitting next to him, but the faces of the two met a little awkwardly, and they opened their mouths and opened everything. Did not say it.

In addition to them there was a man in a navy uniform sitting opposite.

The carriage was speeding down the street, and Belomont pretended to be calm, "Who are you and why did you kidnap me?"

"I'm Edward Titch, I believe you must be familiar with this name." The man said indifferently, Belomont's words suddenly changed. People in the New World certainly heard Captain Blackbeard's notoriety, especially like Belomont. Those who have been working to combat piracy naturally have long been known for this most prestigious pirate leader in the Caribbean Sea. In fact, Belomont has also planned a number of siege operations against Captain Blackbeard, but they have not been successful. The latter has a better reputation.

Belomont dreamed of catching each other, but when Edward Titch actually appeared in front of him, he was not happy at all, but Belomont was a person who had seen big scenes after all, his only surprise was After staying on his face for less than two seconds, he regained his former demeanor, and Elmer looked awkward on one side.

"It was Mr. Tiki. Heared his name. I finally saw a real person this time."

"It is a pity that this is not the first time we have met."

Belomont looked puzzled, "Have we met before, when?"

"Have you met for the first time? I should have been at the naval school then, and I still remember the day when you walked in with him."

"he?"

"It seems that you are really a very forgetful person, Earl, then I will give you another hint. Did you think about it in 1695?"

Belomont's look changed suddenly, and he was no longer in danger, and his eyes were full of suspicion, "Who the **** are you?"

"At the time, he was a hero of the navy, the most prestigious adventurer in England, and received the Queen ’s personal award. You have just taken over the post of colonial governor, and you are still worried about how to destroy the pirates and restore maritime trade. To deal with Henry Evry and Thomas Tu, the two most powerful pirates of the New World at the time, you found him and begged him to go to sea to capture the pirates for you.

"He didn't agree at first because he was tired of the war, but you haven't given up. You have been trying to persuade him to fight for the prosperity of the new continent. In the end, he was moved by your sincerity and friendship, and he decided to accept this task. Me too He boarded his ship at that time and became his quartermaster. "

"That was my happiest day, being able to sail with my idols all the time, and working hard to build a beautiful new continent, you will find it harder to find a more exciting future than this." Obviously it is something to be happy but Titch's tone was chilling.

"However, this operation was not smooth from the beginning. We were stopped by the navy before we left the port. We said that the war in Spain was tense and took almost all the sailors from our ship. There was no way we could only In the shortest time, a group of people were recruited, and they stumbled out of the port, drifting at sea for a full six months, but have not found the whereabouts of Henry Evry and Thomas Tu. "

"The atmosphere on the boat started to get tense. Many of the sailors we hadtily recruited were originally local villains and hooligans. They went out to find wealth. Since they ca n’t get a reward now, they do n’t mind using anything else. Stuff to make up. "

Tickey paused. "At that time, there were only three people who had been on board the naval school. Apart from him, there were only the first officer and me. However, the three of us couldn't control the situation on the ship. I was arrested while comforting the crew. Tied up, beat him badly, and threw it into the sheep's pen on the boat. The sailors threatened to kill me three days later, and in order to save my life, he finally had to promise the sailors.

"We chose a French merchant ship as a target, but we did not expect that the ship actually belonged to the East India Company. The Mi flag was hoisted across the battle. Although we convinced the sailors to choose to retreat, some people on the ship recognized that Out of him, there have been rumors everywhere in the New World that we have become pirates. "

"That was the darkest part of my life. I don't know what I did wrong. God will let this happen to us. It was he who comforted me at that time, gave me confidence and made me believe. As long as we return to the civilized world, we will be able to shed our crimes and tell the truth to the world. "

"That was the only motivation that kept me alive at the time, but I didn't expect this process to be so long. Four years later we met another group of pirates, and the crew decided to join them and finally let us go. Only 13 people are willing to follow him back to the colony. "

"We decided to go ashore in New York, contact the Navy, and make public what happened over the years. At that time, you have become the best governor of the colony by virtue of the pirates. You are worried that you have a relationship with us and cause your politics Our career was affected, so we sent someone to find us, tell him that you understand and sympathize with everything we have encountered, and are willing to help us to shed our crimes. "

"I reminded him, but he believes in you so much, and he did not hesitate to return to you all the letters we have plundered over the years, and before leaving Hong Kong, he believes that you and your ally in Whitehall You can give us an innocence, you always know what kind of person he is, don't you? He always has some expectation for this civilized world and is willing to believe its goodwill. "

Belomont heard a quick breath when he heard it here, he fixed his bow tie, but the cold voice in his ear did not disappear.

"But then you betrayed him, tricked him into Boston, arrested him as soon as he stepped on the land, burned down letters that could be used as evidence, swallowed the booty he gave you, and let you The Elmer beside him took him back to London for trial. To ensure that he could not say anything against you, you also hinted that Elmer would take good care of him on the way.

"I heard that he was mentally deranged before returning to England. Those people hanged him by the Thames and left his body there for two full years. They called him the most terrible pirate in the New World, and I got you again and got the award from Whitehall. "

The lord next door left a cold sweat when he heard the words. He didn't expect that this incident even involved himself. He cried in his voice, stuttering, "I ... I really don't know about you, UU. Reading the book I was just a person who was responsible for errands. I couldn't refuse Mr. Earl ... "

Unfortunately, only half of what he said ended abruptly. Elmer did not expect the opposite man to be so crisp at the last moment before his death. He didn't even give him a chance to justify, and took out his waist. Short firearm, pulled the trigger.

Edward Titch didn't even look at the freshly baked corpse in his seat, but instead looked at the count, his voice sounded colder than the sea.

"I told the pirates outside that I had come for Kidd's treasure, but I knew better than anyone that Kidd had left no treasure at all. I came here tonight for one thing, and that was to avenge him."

Belomont can no longer maintain even the apparent calmness, his eyes are full of fear, the whole person curled up in his seat, and kept snoring, "I can give you whatever you want and what you want. , I can offer you forgiveness, or I can give you wealth that will never end in a lifetime. "

"No need to bother, I can get what I want by myself." Edward Titch finally finished the last sentence and clenched the saber in his hand. At this moment, there was no more violent breath in his body than what he had. It's just thick sadness.
