Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 15: Lies and Set-Ups

The Pearl, which was originally scheduled to leave today, was stopped by Gordon, saying that he still needed to purchase some things, and he asked Coolidge to send all the silver coins to the crew for a day to be repaired.

This proposal has been supported by everyone, if you ignore Coolidge's desire to kill.

The income from this voyage has only been credited to 300 silver coins so far, and more than 100 have been spent here.

And Gordon was no longer in the mood to take care of him at this time, but stared at Aldridge and Alva who came out of the Rollen.

The Doron has a bright surface, scavenging black slaves and looting treasures from the African land, but secretly it also has connections with pirates. After all, pirates also need channels to sell stolen goods.

A month ago, Aldrich purchased a treasure map from a pirate chief. According to records, it should have been affected by the storm at that time and sank a full-sail three-masted sail in the waters northeast of Havana. merchant ship.

This sailboat is called the Elizabeth. It is a sailboat that transports jewels for the royal family. It is invaluable. It is surrounded by a guarded Royal Navy fleet. These jewels are all the finest jewels scavenged from the American continent and carefully selected.

But in the great storm that engulfed everything twenty years ago, the departing ships were hardly spared, and the Elizabeth sank into the sea with three frigates.

According to the later rumors, someone salvaged the ship's logbook in the sea. According to the records of the star map and sextant at that time, plus the speed and current at that time, the approximate location of the merchant ship's final sinking was calculated.

This map looked like a priceless treasure at Aldridge.

However, the authenticity of the news is a problem, and he has been accustomed to hiding in the dark for a long time, and he does not want to be pushed to the forefront because of this incident.

Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will not only come under pressure from the official level, after all, he is part of the East India Company's fleet, and it will also cause a pirate's carnival to include him as a prey, unless he will never go to sea for the rest of his life.

Aldrich is very satisfied with his current situation, so he is not prepared to take this risk, but is prepared to find a suitable buyer in various ports and earn enough profits instead of standing at risk.

It was with this mission in mind that Amos had been in Cayenne for almost a week, and the buyer was still preparing to mobilize funds and prepare to trade today.

But the night before, Amos and the two sailors were directly killed in the alley, and everything on them was swept away, including the nautical chart. Without this nautical chart as an indicator, in the sea Fishing for a sunken ship is a fool's errand.

So today, not only the guards were looking for the assassin from last night, but also Aldrich's men. Nearly seventy sailors poured into the port to search for the assassin's whereabouts.

"Who are the people who know the treasure map?" Aldrich asked Alva next to him.

"Captain, I have never mentioned it to anyone. If Amos is the same, only the three of us and the buyer should know."

"Donner? I knew this slick businessman couldn't be trusted, let's go, set off his exchange!"

"Wait, Captain! But we don't know if Amos himself drank too much and talked about it, which led to his death. Donner is too powerful in this port, so it's better that we don't have a head-on conflict."

Ava was hesitant to speak.

Aldrich stared at him: "Don't mother-in-law, just say anything."

Ava continued: "This matter is not suitable for making a big deal. If this matter is known to the world, the map may end up in the hands of anyone."

Aldridge kicked over the wooden barrel by the port: "If it's really what Donner told someone to do, we'll endure it?"

Avar approached Aldridge's ear and whispered, "We're like this... this way..."

Aldrich nodded, then instructed the sailors to inquire about the assassins in the entire city of Cayenne, and then took Alva and the two to Donner's exchange.

He went straight to the second floor and pushed away Donner's office room.

Donna, who was checking the accounts, didn't lift his head. Hearing the footsteps and the rude push on the door, he could think of who was coming.

"I heard that your boatswain, that stubborn-looking Amos was cut down?"

Aldridge raised a chair and sat down with a gloomy look on his face.

"Did your people do it?"

Donna stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and said with interest: "You brought a person to ask the teacher? Besides, do you think I will kill for two thousand gold coins? You really underestimate me. The exchange is over. And as far as I know, the assassin from last night was very professional, and the shot fee for this kind of person is very expensive. You really value him for dealing with Amos.”

He shook his head, then continued to work on his own business.

"The transaction has been cancelled, you have no goods in your hands, get out."

Donna didn't lift his head, but two strong men with knives walked in from outside the door, eyeing them both.

But Aldridge didn't panic at all.

"We can continue the transaction, because Amos is not a real treasure map. But in order to avoid accidents, I propose to set it at the dock tomorrow. UU www.uukanshu.com"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Donald to answer, but turned around and left.

Downer thought about it for a long time and decided to continue trading.

"Strange, is the money ready?"

A secret door was opened from the side of the room, and a middle-aged man who was somewhat fat walked out.

"Boss, the money is ready, but what Aldridge said doesn't seem to be true."

Donna shook his head and said it didn't matter.

"I don't care if he is confident that he can get the treasure map back tomorrow, or if he is stubborn, we will inspect the goods first. If not, then he will not be able to eat and walk around."

The man who became Strange nodded, and then closed the secret door again.

Inside is a unique place. A staircase leads directly to the ground. There is a huge space inside, filled with gunpowder, firearms, cannons, and machetes.

Donner is not as kind as he looks. This seemingly legal and lawful exchange is secretly selling weapons. No matter who they are, as long as they can afford the price, the profits are huge. You must know that the reason why pirates are suppressed and beaten by the regular army is that in addition to Discipline is loose, and weapons supplies are limited.

The sailors of the Laurent spent a day inquiring outside, but they heard only rumors and nothing practical. After Aldrich returned to his ship, he had arranged for all the sailors to be alert, and there might be an enemy raid at night.

Yes, the news that he told Donner that the map was fake was intentional. If it was really Donner's person, or if his target was really the treasure map, then there is a high probability that he will visit again tonight, and Aldridge needs All he did was wait for the daring assassin to throw himself into the trap.

If the guess is wrong, of course, you can only admit to being unlucky. This is already the most likely possibility right now, isn't it?
