Chapter 190: Beckett

Caribbean, Port Royal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Governor Swan has been feeling that he has been having a very bad time lately, first he has received accountability from the British mainland, and then his daughter, Elizabeth, has added to her own trouble, what do you want to do, she actually wants to be a pirate, don't forget, your father is a royal governor of the British Empire.

"It's all to blame on that damn wizard!" Governor Swan cursed incessantly.

"Knock knock."

The door to his office rang, and a flurry of voices made Governor Swan's heart even more irritated.

"Didn't I say that? It's okay don't bother me! Governor Swan's voice was filled with exasperation.

Ignoring Governor Swan's roar, the door to the office creaked open, and a man with a faint smile on his face and a mild-mannered temperament walked in.

The man is not handsome, and his every move is completely in line with the standard aristocratic etiquette, which is simply impeccable.

"What is it that makes Governor Swan so angry?"

"Who are you?" Looking at the man who suddenly broke in, Governor Swan's heart was even more annoyed, but looking at this man's face, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Governor Swan's mind, and he said with some uncertainty on his face, "Bei... Kert? ”

"Ha, it turns out that Governor Swan still remembers it, it's been a long time, Governor Swan." The man named Beckett looked very happy.

However, unlike Beckett's happiness, Governor Swan's face was not so good-looking, "Why are you here, aren't you supposed to be in Africa?" ”

"That place in Africa doesn't need me anymore."

Beckett had a kind smile on his face, "I am now mainly responsible for managing the East India Company's trade and enemy plunder in this part of the Caribbean, I don't know my answer, is Governor Swan satisfied?" We'll be partners in the future. ”

"I don't need you here." Governor Swan's face was still ugly, which showed that in Governor Swan's heart, he did not have a good relationship with this guy named Beckett.

Beckett, full name Cutler? Beckett, or Lord Beckett, was ruthless and ambitious, the current chairman of the East India Company and the spokesman of the King of England.

The East India Company, founded in 1600, was originally used by the British as an outpost to colonize India, but after Lord Beckett took power, it began to expand rapidly, first gaining a foothold in India and becoming the de facto ruler of India, and then intervening in the African slave trade, and its capital accumulation was full of blood. Today, the East India Company is one of the most important British powers in the world (this is a compilation of history).

The protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirate Captain Jack? Sparrow used to be a captain under Lord Beckett, specializing in trade, but when Sparrow found out that Lord Beckett's trade was actually transporting African slaves to the Caribbean for sale, he secretly released these slaves back to Africa, so that Lord Beckett angered Lord Beckett, and Lord Beckett directly ordered Sparrow's ship to be destroyed, arrested, and imprisoned.

However, Sparrow escaped from prison, and it was around that time that Sparrow became a pirate.

Governor Swan had known Lord Beckett when he was in England, but Governor Swan did not like Lord Beckett because Lord Beckett was engaged in the disgusting slave trade, which was inconsistent with Governor Swan's view of right and wrong.

The so-called Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, nothing more than that.

"Beckett, you can go back, you are not welcome here, I will write a letter to the locals." Governor Swann issued an eviction order.

"Governor Swan."

Even though he was ordered to be expelled, Lord Beckett still had a kind smile on his face, but what he said was very inconsistent with this kindness, "Maybe Governor Swan is wrong, I don't think it's up to you to decide whether or not I will be welcomed here." ”

"What do you mean?" Governor Swan was already sensing something was wrong.

"It's time to come in."

The door to the office was pushed open again, and two soldiers walked in with Elizabeth in tow, who struggled as she walked.

"Let go of me! Do you know who I am? Let me go! ”

"Isha!" Governor Swan exclaimed in surprise, and immediately glared at Lord Beckett, "What do you mean by that, Beckett!!??? ”

"What do you mean?"

Lord Beckett flicked the dust that didn't exist on his clothes, "Just a tip, Elizabeth?" Swan colluded with the pirates in an attempt to subvert Port Royal. ”

"You !!" Governor Swan's face was extremely ugly, "Beckett! Believe it or not, I write to His Majesty the King to sue you! ”

"Sue me? Governor Swan, you're still so naΓ―ve. ”

Beckett's face finally put away the smile, glanced at Governor Swan contemptuously, and then took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and showed it to Governor Swan, "This is an order signed by His Majesty the King himself, because of the rampant piracy in the Caribbean recently, which has seriously affected the trade in the Caribbean, I am specially appointed to be fully responsible for the suppression of piracy, and I can act cheaply for anyone and anything related to piracy." ”

"As for Miss Elizabeth, Governor Swan, I believe I don't need to show any more evidence."

"How? Governor Swan. Beckett raised an eyebrow, regaining his elegant and aristocratic appearance just now, "Now can we have a good talk?" ”

"You, you, you..."

Governor Swan "you, you, you" for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence, and finally, with a sigh, full of decadence, said, "Okay." ”

"Great, Governor Swan, my friend." Lord Beckett's face once again put a kind smile on his face, "It just so happens that I have brought black tea from London, this is a good thing that can't be drunk in the Caribbean, we can taste it slowly, I'm sure you will like it, by the way, do you have lemons?" ”

No one knows what Lord Beckett and Governor Swan talked about, but they only know that from that day on, the atmosphere of the whole Port Royal changed, and a large number of British Royal Navy were stationed in Port Royal, and every day, a large number of warships traveled, and then a large number of pirate prisoners were brought back, and they were hanged in front of the square in Port Royal.

As the British Royal Navy continued to increase its strength, a large number of pirates were caught and killed in the entire Caribbean, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in the entire Caribbean.

Port Royal, Office of the Governor.

Its original owner was no longer visible in the Governor's office, and since that day onwards, the office has been officially "gifted" to Lord Beckett by Governor Swann for office use.

In his office, Lord Beckett sat at his desk, on which was a very delicate tea set.

The silver teapots and cups are all shiny silver, and when the sun shines outside, the whole set of silver tea sets looks more and more shiny and eye-catching.

The teapot is brewed with black tea, which is a real fine product brought by Lord Beckett from the British mainland, ruddy and clear, fragrant, with exquisite snacks and high-end tea sets, revealing an aristocratic atmosphere everywhere.

Holding a spoon and stirring the teacup casually, Lord Beckett did not say a word, silently listening to the report of his subordinates.

Opposite Lord Beckett, a man with dark brown hair, a slightly emaciated figure, and a gloomy aura from top to bottom was standing.

"Sir, why don't you kill that old fellow." The man's voice was a little hoarse, and there was not a trace of emotion in his tone.

"Mather, Weatherby? Swan can't move yet, and we still need some old guy's influence on home. ”

"But sir, that old guy has done a lot of small actions recently, although they have not succeeded, but if you keep him, sooner or later it will be a trouble." The man named Mather still stood by his opinion.

"Don't worry, Mather." Lord Beckett took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and a hint of aftertaste appeared on his face, "That old guy is not worried, we still need him now, and it is not too late to solve it when his value is exhausted." ”

"Yes, sir."

Mather was apparently a very qualified subordinate, and after the decision of his superiors, he would never give an opinion.

Lord Beckett drank the black tea, and then walked to the window, outside which I don't know when it began, it had become cloudy.

"Look, Mather, the storm is coming."

"It's going to be a big storm." (To be continued.) )
