Chapter 771 [Count Payne's Details]

To be honest, everything that can be found on the Internet is an open secret, and since it is an open secret, there is no secret to speak of. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The really important things don't appear on the Internet, so Yang Yong just found some general information about Earl Payne.

Knowing what year he was born, knowing what year he died, and knowing that he had been a general all his life further confirmed that Count Payne was a relatively important player in the Second Opium War in 1860. He served as a colonel battalion commander in the British Army, and was promoted to brigadier general because of his bravery in battle and suffered a gunshot wound.

After summing up so much information and seeing the copper buckle inlaid with the wooden door above the storage room, Yang Yong was even more convinced of his guess. The other party really went to Huaxia, and he also served as a high-ranking officer who was injured and received awards, and his hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people, and there must be a secret. And it's a big secret hidden in the castle above Payne Island, but now I don't have any clues, and I can't find more clues, so it seems that it is imperative to buy this Penn Island.

After looking at the computer for several hours, Yang Yong could only turn off the computer, and then went back to the restaurant supporting the room to boil a pot of water and make a pot of refreshing green tea for himself. Then I picked up the phone and called the room service, asked for a piece of chocolate cake, and then sat on the balcony to enjoy the afternoon sun, drank tea and ate the cake, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know when I slowly opened my eyes, and then I felt that my body was covered with a blanket. Opened his eyes and looked around, and saw Smith sitting beside him with a smile, watching while drinking tea, Yang Yong became lazy and said slowly.

"What time is Smith, I'm feeling so hungry, isn't it time for dinner?"

Smith shook his head and said with a smile, "I really admire you, you can actually fall asleep on the balcony with such a strong wind, and you haven't done anything in the past few days." Why do I look at you as if you are very tired, pay attention to your body, don't catch a cold, otherwise how can I explain to our old lady haha, haha. ā€

Yang Yong sat up and rubbed his eyes absently, and said with a smile while lighting a cigar. "Good guy, am I all paper in your eyes, and I don't have any resistance. I'm a healthy adult male, how can I be as fragile as you think? But thank you for the blanket, otherwise I wouldn't have slept for so long. ā€

Smith seemed to have been sitting in his chair for a long time, twisted his neck, and crunched before he sighed. "My good brother, you're finally awake, alas, no, I'm hungry, I can eat you. Isn't it time for dinner? I can do it if I'm hungry, I don't know what happens, you have to know that I started a fire, I'm afraid of you, be careful. ā€

Only then did Yang Yong get up from the recliner with a cigar in his mouth and move his waist. "Oh, eating, eating, nothing is the most important thing. When you go back hungry Smith, my mother won't pull out my ears, what do you want to eat, it's still a seafood dinner. ā€

When you come to the Aegean Sea, what do you eat without seafood? Isn't this knowingly asked? Smith also stood up unceremoniously, and said with a smile while pulling Yang Yong out. "Hurry up paella, lobster, I'm here in the sea hahahaha."

Yang Yong said with a smile while being pushed away, "It's still lobster, haven't you eaten enough lobster at Anna Castle?" Although that big dragon is our old lady's pet, it can't be touched. But those forty or fifty-year-old half-meter-long lobsters can be eaten vigorously, and you haven't eaten enough, so I'm really convinced. ā€

The two brothers talked and laughed and came to the seventh floor, found old Charlie who was talking on the phone in the room, and then gathered a few bodyguards and came to the high-end restaurant. Yang Yong had enough of seafood, so Yang Yong ordered some of his favorite foods, such as pan-fried foie gras with asparagus and garlic salmon.

Grilling lamb chops and a vegetable salad will do, while the other couple will of course focus on seafood. The main course is paella, and the rest is cheese round lobster, lobster balls, and a variety of seafood delicacies ordered on a large table.

Eating seafood is white meat, and it should be accompanied by champagne, or Chinese liquor, and Yang Yong's liquor is stored as a treasure. Even if the relationship with Smith is so good, a part of the liquor is allocated to Smith every month according to a certain proportion, and Smith has already been allowed to collect it. How could it be brought to Greece? So with seafood, the liquor drunk was all taken out by Yang Yong who was bitter, and when he saw a few guys drinking Yang Yong's depression, he turned the depression into a good meal.

At the time of checkout, a meal actually cost more than 3,000 US dollars, but it is worth all the seafood is the freshest and lively. There will definitely be no problem with eating, and after eating and drinking, Yang Yong proposed to go out and visit the night scene of Greece. Although it is still under renovation, it is still good to feel the majestic scenery of one of the four ancient civilizations that have been around for thousands of years.

I went on a tour until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and then I returned to my room and rested on the bed, but Yang Yong, who had been playing for a few hours, was very tired physically and mentally excited. His curiosity about Penn Castle was always in his mind, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, and when he woke up the next morning, Smith handed him a thick file bag.

While eating breakfast, while opening the document bag, Yang Yong's eyes couldn't help but light up, the contents of this document bag were the information he needed most. Although it is a copy of Greece's national archives, there is really a lot of information provided to me in it, and I guess that it is true, this Count Payne really participated in the Second Opium War in 1860, and was also promoted to brigadier general for meritorious service.

After the end of the negotiations between Britain and France and China, Commodore Payne, through his family connections, asked the Royal Navy to vacate a warship of more than 3,000 tons for his own use. No one knows what was being transported on the battleship, but it was known that there were many wooden boxes on the battleship, and these wooden boxes were large and small, some of which were very heavy and some were very light.

Instead of returning to its British homeport, the ship turned around and entered the Mediterranean, where it anchored on Penn Island for three full days. Commodore Payne then returned to Liverpool with the ship, and then served in the British army, spending every year on the island of Penn, a custom that remained the case for decades, and the year after the delivery of supplies to the island, Penn Castle was officially built.

According to Yang Yong's speculation, it is possible that Count Payne built this Penn Castle specifically to store the treasures she had returned from Huaxia. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to build the castle so small, and there are many rooms that have not been inhabited by humans, right? It is 99% likely that the castle was used by the Earl of Payne to collect the art that had been brought back from the Chinese Lady.

As for the fact that the artwork is now missing, it may be that the Earl of Payne knew that his life was short, and he did not just inherit his own title. After his death, all his family property and family fiefdoms will be confiscated by the state, and instead of a cheap country, it is better to hide the things that he was born and plundered back and give himself a good burial.
