Chapter 191 Jack Behaving Abnormally

Although Williams was very dissatisfied with Beckett's abuse of power, he did not intend to kill him.

Beckett represents both the interests of the British official and the East India Company.

Over the years, the East India Company has created a lot of taxes for Britain, and even the Duke of Cavendish is unwilling to offend them to death, let alone behind Beckett is an earl with a high status.

Williams intends to hit Beckett so that he can understand his duty and not move in the Caribbean to cross the red line he cannot touch.

Williams' questioning made Beckett's face change slightly. He still smiled on the surface and maintained his demeanor, but a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Where did this start? I just exercise power in the chaotic and distant Caribbean instead of His Majesty, and I have no idea of ​​despising the royal family."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with my family. If Duke Cavendish thinks my approach is too extreme, I am willing to apologize and modify the original plan."

"snort!"

Williams snorted coldly: "You'd better know what you're doing. Your Majesty gives you the authority to supervise, not to overthrow local officials in charge of their own."

"I have compiled the book and sent it back to your homeland to your Majesty. Please do it yourself."

After saying this, Williams ignored Beckett's ugly face, politely bid farewell to Wetherby, and strode out of the Governor's Office.

"Click!"

The East India Company armed personnel outside the door pointed the musket at Williams. Although Beckett was angry, he did not dare to let something happen to Williams here, so he hurriedly called a stop to his subordinates.

"Get off and let them go."

Watching Williams leave without looking back, Beckett sat back in his seat with a dark face.

"Huh... Governor, the government affairs of Jamaica will be returned to you in the future. Please forgive me for your recklessness."

Weatherby moved slightly, barely controlling her facial muscles and laughed out loud on the spot.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord."

Holding the teacup and walking to the balcony, Beckett gritted his teeth and looked at the East India Company ship docked in the port.

‘What the hell is Ian doing! Why don’t you report this emergencies to me in time?’

...

Ian Mather, who was chanted by Beckett, was blocked by Xin Sheng on the dock. As long as his steps moved, the God-Secret arrows would immediately land in the position he was about to take next step.

When he revisited the old place, Barbosa looked at the current situation of Port Royal with great interest.

The shore defense fortress, which was bombarded by the Black Pearl, has been rebuilt and solid. The brand new artillery aimed the black hole muzzle at the sea, and the number of cannons has increased significantly compared to before.

Without unscrupulous pirates, the order in Port Royal was much better than before, but it also became much deserted.

After Williams returned to the dock, he boarded the Jackdaw as if nothing had happened, and there was no clue in his poker face.

But Xin Sheng could guess that this officer with extraordinary status should have had communication with Beckett.

"The matter is done?"

"Um."

Williams said with a calm expression: "Captain Xin, I promise Lord Beckett will not come to interfere with our mission again."

Xin Sheng smiled and expressed his gratitude to Williams: "That would be great, Captain Jefferson."

Retrieving Artemis's bow, Xin Sheng waved at Ian Mather with a smile.

"Brother, you can move freely."

Mather let out a long breath, lowered his head and walked quickly to the shore, rode a horse and ran towards the direction of the Governor's Mansion.

Xin Sheng looked at his hurriedly leaving and smiled: "Crews! The long-awaited rest day for you to enjoy it, enjoy it!"

"At 8 a.m. three days later, everyone must meet at the dock on time. Those who are late will be caught and hung on the mast and air-dried. Do you understand?"

"oh!"

After more than two months of ocean voyage, the sailors could not wait to go ashore to rest.

After Xin Sheng issued the order to disband, everyone except the sailors who were standing by the squad, rushed into the city cheering.

The lifeless Port Royal rarely welcomed a wave of vibrant guests, and the taverns, brothels and shops that had been silent for a long time gradually resumed operation.

Williams was very self-disciplined. He declined Xin Sheng's invitation to go ashore with him and decided to stay on the boat and collect information through his own channels.

Xin Sheng winked at Kaigan, and the second deputy of the Jackdaw took the initiative to stand up to express his stay-behind ship.

Farewell to Barnabas and Herodotus who were heading to the tavern, Xin Sheng took Angelica with curious faces and went ashore. He planned to go to the blacksmith shop to talk to Will Turner first.

Angelica has been living in Spain since she became sensible and is very interested in the special customs and culture of the Caribbean. She kept chattering around Xin Sheng and asking questions excitedly during the process of entering the city.

"Shin, I heard that Port Royal in the UK is a famous pirate port, why can't you see any pirates when you get here?"

Xin Sheng shrugged: "I thank Lord Beckett, who is wise and powerful. His iron-fisted means against pirates make the pirates dare not climb to Port Royal again."

"Are you interested in going to the square to see it? Maybe there are still pirates being hanged at this moment."

Angelica shook her head quickly: "Forget it, I don't want to see such cruel scenes. Even pirates shouldn't suffer such torture."

Xin Sheng sighed: "Your view of this world is still too gentle. I'll take you over and witness its cruel side later."

...

Will Turner has been keeping his duty since returning to Port Royal, and even Beckett's eyeliner, who was responsible for monitoring him, found no abnormalities.

When Xin Sheng and Angelica entered the blacksmith shop, Will's blacksmith master was already drunk and unconscious.

As the pirates evacuated, the business of the blacksmith shop plummeted, and the old blacksmith had more time to soak himself in wine.

When Xin Sheng saw Will, he was looking at a broken knife in a daze.

The knife looked familiar, and Xin Sheng always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"Will?"

"Um?"

Will, who came back to his senses, quickly stood up and prepared to welcome the guests: "Welcome to Guang...uh, Xin?"

Xin Sheng smiled and hugged Will, and introduced Angelica to him.

Will has a heart for a long time. He was originally a dedicated person. He could still maintain a gentlemanly demeanor when facing the amazingly charming Angelica.

After some greetings, Xin Sheng pointed curiously at the knife that Will placed aside.

"What is this knife?"

Will picked up the knife and said with some emotion: "This is what Jack gave me when he came to Port Royal some time ago. He said this is a dagger my father used."

Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Jack? How could he have something with Bill on his boots?"

‘Jack is not like the kind of person who keeps the relics of others, is it…’

Xin Sheng rubbed his chin with all his thoughts and asked, "Will, was there anything unusual about Jack's expression last time he came?"

"You said that..."

Will recalled: "He looked so furious at that time, as if he was avoiding someone's pursuit, and left a strange word."

"If you want to see your father again, go out to sea to find the ghost ships in the Caribbean."
