This morning, Tangning was enjoying her new slave girl Jingzi. Suddenly, someone knocked hard on the door, and the butler's anxious voice came from outside: "Master, it's not good, something big has happened!"
Tangning put on her clothes and walked out very displeased, and asked displeasedly: "What happened?"
"Master, Ajid is dead!" the butler said in shock.
"What?! Ajid is dead?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
The housekeeper nodded and replied: "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come and disturb you so early!"
"But I remember that he is in good health and doesn't appear to be sick!" Tang Ning said with a frown.
"He, he didn't die of illness, he was killed by someone!" the housekeeper said tremblingly.
Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed again: "What?! Were you killed?"
Then he asked like a barrage of questions: "Who killed him? Why did they kill him? When did they kill him?"
"The police officer said he was killed last night, but we don't know who killed him yet, let alone why he was killed!" the housekeeper explained.
"Wait a minute, you said the police officer said he was killed last night and you called the police?" Tangning asked again.
The housekeeper waved his hand and said, "We didn't call the police. Ajid was killed outside!"
"He was killed outside? What was he doing out there?" Tangning asked.
The butler hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "He must have gone out to drink!"
"Going out to drink? Who allowed him to go out to drink?" Tangning asked.
"Master, didn't you say that Ajid has been having a hard time giving speeches in various manors recently, and he often told us that it was Master who invited him back, so we don't dare to care about him..." the housekeeper answered cautiously.
road.
Although the butler's words were simple, Tangning could guess that Ajid must have been very arrogant recently. She secretly thought that she was usually gentle with her subordinates, but now was not the time to worry about it, so she asked again: "Where is the police officer?
I'll go see him and find out the details."
"Mr. Police Officer has left!" the butler said, spreading his hands.
"What? Are you leaving now? Aren't they here to learn about the case?" Tangning asked in confusion.
"Perhaps they thought there was nothing to investigate after the death of a black slave. All they had to do was bring the body over and notify the owner!" the housekeeper analyzed.
Although this logic made sense in New Orleans, Tangning was still very dissatisfied: "But how can Ajid be an ordinary black slave? If something happens to him, won't I have to go to New York to find him again?"
The butler suddenly realized: "Yes, he even goes to various manors to give speeches!"
While the two were talking, Hope Solo suddenly rushed over and asked Tangning, "Mr. Tangning, did you hear that Mr. Ajid was killed?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Well, I just heard about it!"
"Did someone from the Underground Railroad kill him? It must be! No, I have to leave immediately and return to New York, otherwise I will be the next one to be killed!" Hope Solo said with a look of horror.
Hearing what Hope Solo said, Tangning felt that it made sense. The people who hated Ajid the most now were definitely those on the Underground Railroad. Because Ajid's speech made it more difficult for them to abduct black slaves, it was very difficult for them to abduct black slaves.
It's possible that it was Ejid they killed!
However, Tangning was really reluctant to leave Hope Solo. After all, such a suitable black actress was not easy to find, so she comforted her: "Miss Solo, the police haven't investigated clearly yet, so we can't confirm that it was the Underground Railroad who killed her."
Ejid, maybe he went out drinking and got into an argument with someone, so he was killed!"
Hope Solo insisted: "I have to go back to New York no matter what, because I don't feel safe at all now! And now that Mr. Ejid is dead, even if I stay, I will not be alone."
I can't go to various manors to give speeches, so I'd better ask Mr. Tangning to let me go back. Anyway, I have almost completed the number of speeches I agreed on before, so you can deduct the remaining few from my remuneration!"
Tang Ning gave some more words of advice. She was determined to meet Hope Solo. She knew that she couldn't force this kind of thing. Otherwise, even if she was forced to keep her, her condition would affect the performance, and what she said was right.
A person's persuasiveness is still limited, so she nodded in agreement and asked the housekeeper to buy her a train ticket.
However, this did not mean that Tangning let this matter go. He immediately rushed to Frick's manor and said to him: "Although Ajid is dead now, we can take the opportunity to make this matter bigger."
, let everyone think that the Yankees of the Underground Railroad killed him, so that the black slaves will think that what Ajid said is true, and will not follow them when those Yankees come to trick them.
Got it!"
Frick thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, Tony, you are right. Now, regardless of whether these Yang guys killed Ajid or not, we have to publicize it like this!"
But then asked: "Whether you think it was really gay Yang who did it?"
"There is a high probability that they did it. Notes: Ajid just returned to New Orleans not long ago and rarely has the opportunity to go out drinking and fooling around, so there should be no other enemies!" Tangning analyzed.
In fact, Tangning's guess was correct, because at this moment in a secret "Underground Railroad" stronghold in New Orleans, the person in charge was reprimanding a young man: "Who told you to kill that Ajid?"
The young man retorted: "Isn't that what you said? The existence of this Ejid has seriously affected our cause of liberating black slaves. Why don't I kill such a bad guy?"
"But have you ever thought that your killing gave those slave owners an excuse. Originally, the black slaves were still doubting the words of Eged and Hope Solo, but now that Eged has been killed, those slaves
The Lord will definitely take the opportunity to publicize and claim that we are killing people and silencing them. Then the black slaves will believe in Ajid's words even more and will no longer trust us. So instead of reducing the difficulty, you will increase it.
!" the person in charge explained.
Only then did the young man react, scratched his head and said, "Then, what should we do?"
The person in charge sighed and said: "There is no other way but to refuse to admit this matter during publicity, and just say that the slave owners are framed!"
