Emma hated them so much that she wanted to poke a needle at both of them and kill them, whether it was for Lott or Thomson.

It's a pity that this time she really lost face.

Thomson looked at Lott with satisfaction and said, "You are the boss, and the matter of the captives will be handled by you." Captain Tich said that there were more than a thousand pirates captive, and our boss did not care about money in his eyes, and did not care if it was more than a fraction of a thousand, when they were dead. A ransom of one hundred silver dollars for a soldier, and a thousand people, for a total of one hundred thousand silver dollars. ”

Thomson said with a grin: "As long as you agree, hand over 100,000 silver dollars, and we will release him immediately." ”

After hearing this, Lott's expression fell directly.

100,000 silver dollars is not a small amount, and it is not something that can be taken out casually.

When Kamehameha III was in power, the kingdom was less than 160,000 people, and after decades of development, there was a certain improvement, but it was not a big development, and the population was so far more than 200,000. If 100,000 silver dollars are taken out, it is equivalent to every citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii donating 0.5 silver dollars, which is not a small fortune for a small country like Hawaii.

Lott stared at Thomson viciously, and said in his heart, this guy is simply a lion's mouth.

Emma smiled like a flower, and said in her heart, can you bear it? What a deal!

Lott glanced at the proud Emma, shook her head slightly, and scolded in her heart: Stupid woman, if Lao Tzu agrees to the pirate's request, it means that the country will pay for it, and you are also a member of the kingdom, and you will also be affected.

Scolding and scolding, but Lott is really in a dilemma.

"Your Highness Lot, there is no hesitation in this matter. The guarantor loses money, the person comes back, and we can still make money. If it's for the money, ignoring the soldiers can have a big impact on your reputation. Don't hesitate to do this for your chance. ”

Next to Lot, an official whispered.

Lot's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the meaning, his eyes became resolute, and he said loudly: "I agreed to Titch's condition and was willing to give 100,000 silver dollars." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Emma let out a loud shout, her face pale.

Lott turned his head and asked, "Does the queen have anything to say?" ”

Thomson's eyes wandered over Emma and Lot, and he was even happier to see the two fighting. The harder the fight between the two men, the easier it was for him to succeed.

Through the fight between the two, Thomson can see the superiority of the two.

Emma's face was gloomy, and her peach blossom eyes flashed with a cold gaze, and she said in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand silver dollars is not a small amount, and you make an arbitrary decision without discussion between the Privy Council and the House of Lords, which is not in accordance with the rules." This matter must be discussed before it can be implemented. ”

When Lott heard this, he looked disdainful.

This woman really doesn't know anything.

With a wave of his fat hand, Lott said categorically: "The lives of thousands of soldiers are at stake, and there can be no delay." If it is discussed in the Privy Council and the House of Lords, when will it be decided? By the time it was settled, the soldiers were already dead. When the time comes, thousands of soldiers will be killed because of your discussions, will Queen Emma be willing to take responsibility for the dead soldiers? ”

After some questioning, Emma was speechless.

Lott seized the opportunity and continued to scold: "Money is a small matter, and the lives of soldiers are a big matter. The kingdom is guarded by soldiers, and with their existence, there is the existence and future of the kingdom. Without soldiers, the kingdom is an empty shelf, to be bullied. The matter was thus settled, and the treasury gave a hundred thousand silver dollars to redeem all the soldiers. Whoever has objections can be found directly. Even if the officials of the Privy Council and the House of Lords disagreed, let them come directly to me for advice. ”

The words are sonorous and powerful.

Among the officials in the back, many people tend to support Lot.

The soldiers who came to protect Lot, Emma, and the rest of the officials were all very moved. With such a prince, even if he dies, it is worth it. Both the officers and the soldiers were moved by Lot's words.

Emma was so angry that her teeth itched and she frowned, this man was really difficult.

This time, she made another stinky move.

"Queen, the situation is complicated, and you had better not interfere with anything and let Prince Lott do it. Anyway, you are the queen of His Majesty the King and the mother of the prince. Either way, you're in control. ”

Emma nodded, no more.

Thomson nodded and praised: "His Royal Highness Lott is worthy of being a person with the style of a king, refreshing!" ”

Lott snorted and ordered someone to go and get the money.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to come out with 100,000 silver dollars and place them all outside the city.

Thomson checked it out, a smile on his face. It's just that that smile makes Lott feel oozing. The next moment, Thomson quickly returned, and then, hundreds of pirates ran out and removed all the boxes of silver dollars. Seeing that the other party still didn't let go, Lott suddenly became anxious and yelled: "The money has been given, when will the person be released?" ”

"Let go!"

Thomson let out a loud shout, and the pirate let the soldier go.

Without Thomson's order, the soldiers did not dare to go, fearing that the other side would shoot.

The soldiers ran towards the gates of the city, all with a look of joy on their faces. In the crowd of pirates outside the city, Titch looked at Thomson as he returned victorious, with an intriguing smile on his face. Seeing the soldier getting closer and closer to the city gate, his face was even brighter, and when the soldier arrived at the city gate, Tiqi drew his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.

"Bang!!"

A gunshot broke the peace.

In an instant, the soldiers who had just arrived at the city gate got up. Some of the soldiers rushed directly around Emma, Lot, and a cadre of officials, and surrounded Emma and the others.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!!! ”

One pistol after another was drawn and aimed at Emma, Lot, and the others.

Although Emma, Lott and others are protected by soldiers, the soldiers are a minority after all, and a large number of soldiers are still stationed in the city to prevent pirates from attacking. At this moment, Emma, Lott and the others were all controlled. The situation changed in an instant, leaving everyone confused. There were soldiers ready to fight back, but the 'soldiers' who surrounded Emma, Lot, and others all had pistols in their hands.

A few shots rang out, and after a few soldiers died, everyone was well-behaved.

Emma yelled, "Don't, don't kill me! There is something to discuss. ”

Lott looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Do you do this without considering the consequences of starting a war?" Let us go, you will leave with the silver dollars you just had, and I promise in the name of the prince of the Kingdom of Hawaii that you will not be held accountable. ”

"Whoever believes in you is a fool!"

Titch rode his horse and came to the gates of the city.

He held a cigarette in his mouth, looked like he was not smoking, and said unhurriedly: "You people are busy fighting for power and profit, and you don't think about the problem at all. It's good that I won't have to go into the trouble of storming the city. ”

Lott said, "Titch, it's not good for you. ”

Titch smiled and said, "Whether it's good or not, I know for myself." It's you, it's unsettling. ”

"Bang!!"

Shots rang out, and Titch shot Lott directly in the head. The distance between the two sides was very close, and the moment the gunshot rang out, there was an extra blood hole in Lot's head, and blood gushed out, and Lott fell to the ground without a sound.

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

This big pirate was too tyrannical, and he came up and killed Prince Lot.
