People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country
Chapter 11 You don’t want the Governor to know about today’s events, right?
There really isn’t much nightlife in this day and age.
The most common entertainment for the elite is to hold cocktail parties and watch operas, but in a bigger place like Port Royal, no one would be so bored as to hold cocktail parties every day.
On the contrary, the common people have more entertainment. At the very least, they will never get tired of staying in the pub.
Standing in front of the window of the room, Townsend could overlook the entire Port Royal and the sparkling sea under the moonlight.
Except for the wall built on the seaside, there are not many lights in the small town in the port. However, the dock is still brightly lit, and you can even see ant-like heads of people swarming around. I think except for the soldiers who guard the gold coins all night, There were also many citizens watching the excitement.
Tang Sen didn't have much emotion about this scene. He had already made a plan on how to use gold coins to make himself more famous in Port Royal. Five hundred gold coins would not cause any ripples in his heart at all——
To be honest, money is just a number in Tang Sen's heart.
It's quite pretentious to say this. After all, in the real world, I am just a poor guy who can't even afford a house, but it is true. After all, after having unlimited money, it is like turning on a modifier in the game. People often Don't care about things that come easily.
If he wasn't afraid of being too shocking and counterproductive, Tang Sen wouldn't mind filling the entire dock with gold coins.
"The role of money must be maximized in Port Royal. Once we go to sea, money may not have this miraculous effect."
Neither the Black Pearl nor the Flying Dutchman can be moved by pure money.
"Before Jack Sparrow comes to Port Royal, we have to find a way to get the Aztec gold coin."
Tang Sen looked through the wooden door and seemed to see Elizabeth's room on the same floor.
The gold coin is there, and no one knows its existence except Elizabeth. Even if it disappears, Elizabeth has no way to look for it with great fanfare.
Now that he is close to the water tower, the easiest way is to find an opportunity when no one is paying attention, and directly enter Elizabeth's room to take away the gold coin.
"No, it's too risky."
Tang Sen shook his head.
Elizabeth is Governor Swan's counterpart. Once the theft is discovered, all the preparations she has made will be wiped out. Townsend knows his skills very well, and there is no way to do this kind of thing without leaving any trace.
Even though you may appear to be very prosperous on the surface, if you make one wrong move, you will have to wait for death when you return to reality.
“Things that can be solved with money should be solved with money as much as possible.”
Tang Sen rubbed the wooden window sill.
"It seems that we have to make contact with the governor's servants tomorrow."
Boom, boom, boom.
A knock on the door woke Tang Sen from his dream. He opened his eyes and saw the ceiling with exquisite wood grain carvings.
It was already getting bright. I forgot to close the window last night, so the sea breeze blew in, bringing a slight coolness.
"The nobles of this era are so good at enjoying themselves." Tang Sen stretched out and had to admit that sleeping in a handmade cotton mattress and silk quilt was a kind of enjoyment.
Wearing a white lining lazily, she opened the door. Standing outside the door were two maids in their twenties, both holding a tray with neatly folded clothes.
"Good morning, Mr. Tang." The maid greeted politely: "Considering that you did not bring any replacement clothes, the Governor specially sent someone to buy new clothes. Do you need us to change them for you?"
"No, I'll do it myself."
The clothes are in the standard aristocratic style, and there is even an exquisite silver wig. Of course, it is not curly and long like Governor Swann, but slightly curly on both sides like most naval officers.
Tang Sen was not interested in the wig at all, and still threw the wig and stockings aside in the same style as yesterday.
After thinking about it, he poured out ten more gold coins, put them in the pocket of the clothes he changed into, and then hung the clothes on the window.
After cleaning up and opening the door, the two maids were still waiting and said: "The Governor is already waiting in the dining room."
"I'll go right away." Tang Sen nodded, not forgetting to take out two gold coins and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, ladies."
The two maids' eyes suddenly widened. A reward of one gold coin? I could never imagine such a plot in my wildest dreams!
As mentioned before, the salary of maids is very low, much lower than that of male maids. The lowest maid even only has one hundred and twenty pence a year. The maids in the Governor's Palace are naturally a little more generous, but they are also It won't exceed two pounds, which is a direct reward for half a year's salary.
No wonder the whole Port Royal went crazy for this Oriental!
The two maids looked eager to the naked eye and led Tang Sen to the restaurant. Tang Sen also enjoyed it and asked nonchalantly: "The Governor's Mansion is so big, there should be a lot of servants, right?"
"It's not too much." A younger-looking maid replied: "After all, there are very few guests here. There are only two people living here, the Governor and Miss Swan. In addition to the housekeeper, there are grooms, guards, and chefs. The majority of the people are men, and we are the only two maids responsible for taking care of food, clothing, and daily life.”
"Oh?" Tang Sen smiled: "Then Miss Swan is also taken care of by the two of you?"
"Miss Swan's daily life is mainly responsible for Gillian." The maid glanced at the fat maid in red next to her, and her tone was a bit sour: "She is much more comfortable than me. Miss Swan is not at home most of the time, nor I need her to follow me and have a lot of free time.”
Tang Sen looked at the maid named Jillian and smiled: "Don't Miss Swan like being followed?"
"Miss Swan didn't like me to follow her when she went to see Mr. Turner." Gillian seemed to be a chatterbox, and she became interested in the conversation: "Mr. Turner does have a lovely face, but he doesn't like it." In comparison, I still think Colonel Norrington is more suitable, but unfortunately Miss seems to have no interest in Colonel Norrington."
The young maid quickly kicked Jillian'an. Jillian felt she had made a mistake and quickly lowered her head: "Sorry, Mr. Tang, I talked too much."
"It doesn't matter, I won't complain to the Governor or Miss Swan." Tang Sen smiled cordially: "By the way, could you please Miss Jillian help me tidy up the room? I don't need the clothes I changed, please. Throw it away for me."
"Of course, it's my honor." Jillian bowed and turned away.
Townsend smiled meaningfully and followed the young maid to the dining room. Elizabeth and Governor Swan had already taken their seats. The breakfast was not very formal, with cheese, bread, and milk. The taste was very ordinary - Townsend did not expect the food in England to be as good. How delicious.
During this period, Elizabeth kept urging Townsend, hoping that he would see Mr. Turner, which made Governor Swan look sullen early in the morning. Townsend just dealt with it casually and kept his attention upstairs until he saw The maid in red hurriedly passed by the door of the restaurant holding her clothes and walked outside. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
"Mr. Tang seems to be in a good mood today?"
Governor Swan keenly noticed Tang Sen's expression and said.
"Port Royal always puts people in a good mood, doesn't it?"
He put down the tableware, stood up, and said with a smile: "I didn't eat much for breakfast, so please take your time while I go shopping first."
He calmly walked out of the restaurant and saw the red figure disappearing from the corner of the corridor.
"Originally it was just a random move on a whim, but I didn't expect it to be right in one move." Tang Sen chased after him and sighed in his heart: "The greed of human nature."
The maid in red seemed to be too preoccupied to notice Tang Sen following her. Soon, Tang Sen saw her entering a utility room in the corner.
Tang Sen walked lightly and walked to the door slowly. He was surprised to hear the voice of more than one person inside.
"Henry, look what I found when I was packing the clothes?" This was the voice of the maid Gillian: "Ten gold coins! We are rich!"
"How dare you? Put it back quickly! If it is discovered, it will be over!" The other voice was obviously a man's, and there was panic in his tone.
"What are you afraid of? These are Mr. Tang's clothes. He said he didn't need them anymore and asked me to throw them away." Jillian said happily: "How could a big shot like him remember the change inside his clothes?"
"Even if he remembers it, I'm afraid he won't bother asking me to get it back. After all, the reward he gave me this morning was just one gold coin."
Hearing this, Tang Sen outside the door smiled quietly.
It seems that it is not only the greed of human nature, but more importantly, the fact that her spending money style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the generous reward in the morning, makes the maid feel that there is no risk, so such a simple attempt hits the target directly. .
Originally, Tang Sen had many backup plans in mind, but now it seems that they are no longer needed.
"But a reward is a reward. You are stealing and you will be hanged!" The conversation in the room continued.
"Who stole it? How can packing clothes be called stealing? Oh, you are too cowardly. This is a huge opportunity. If you are so honest, when can we collect enough money to leave? As promised How about we go to England together and live together openly?"
"Okay, don't tell anyone else about this." The man's tone softened.
"I'm not stupid! If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who knows?"
It's almost time to show up.
Tang Sen calmed his expression, and with a click, the door was gently pushed open, and the light rushed in, reflecting the figures of the two people.
Gillian, the maid in red, was holding gold coins in her hands, and opposite him, a somewhat bald groom was half-crouching in front of the maid.
"I'm sorry to hear you two talking."
Tang Sen casually walked into the room, closed the door, looked at the pale expressions of the two people, and said in a calm tone: "Do you need me to give you a chance to explain?"
"."
Ding--
The gold coins fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Jillian was paralyzed on the ground, and the groom was trembling all over, burying his head and not daring to say a word.
"It seems no explanation is needed."
Tang Sen Shi Ran said: "It's a pity. It seems that I ruined your dreams. For ten gold coins, it's really not worth it."
"No, no, please!" Jillian An woke up from her dream, rolled over and begged: "Mr. Tang, I will return the gold coins to you, please don't tell others, otherwise I will die, Governor Your Excellency will definitely send me to the gallows."
"This is a bit difficult."
Tang Sen was expressionless: "Why should I help you? Help someone who stole my money?"
"I can do whatever you ask me to do. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die!"
Jillian pushed the groom next to her hard: "Henry, say something!"
"I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't steal. Now if something happens, we are dead, dead." The groom just buried his head and repeated it tremblingly.
The groom's mental endurance is obviously much worse than that of the maid.
Tang Sen frowned, realizing that any further pressure would be counterproductive, so he interrupted the two of them begging for mercy and softened his tone: "Originally, I would never tolerate this situation."
"But listening to your conversation just now, the reason for stealing is not unforgivable. After all, who can't be carried away by love?"
"That's right!" Jillian said anxiously, as if she had found a life-saving straw, "I just lost my head for a moment!"
"I am always willing to help others." Tang Sen said slowly: "It's just ten gold coins. I can give it to you. Even more, I can give you more than you think. It's enough for you to leave. Caribbean, go buy a big house in London.”
Both of them were stunned and looked at Tang Sen.
"But you have to do one thing for me."
Tang Sen bent down and leaned over. The two people's expressions gradually became horrified, and they looked at Tang Sen in disbelief.
"No, it's impossible. I'll be wanted by the Governor! We're dead!"
After hearing Tang Sen's plan, Jillian waved her hands quickly.
Tang Sen just looked directly at her without saying a word until she looked away uncomfortably and her voice slowly disappeared.
"I don't think Miss Gillian is aware of her situation."
"Miss Gillian, you don't want the Governor to know about what happened today, right?"
"Some things, once done, there is no turning back."
"Or leave the Caribbean with more money than you can spend in a lifetime."
"Or say goodbye to the rest of your life and your lover and be hanged on the gallows."
"Of course, you can also choose to surrender to the Governor and tell the truth about our conversation." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "However, I am afraid no one will believe that Mr. Tang, who is extremely wealthy, will covet the wealth of the Governor's daughter, right? "
Jillian opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Tang Sen stood up straight again, opened the door and walked out.
"Then, happy working together."
Two in one today.
