There really isn't much nightlife in this day and age.

The most popular pastime for the elite is to have a drinking party and watch an opera, but in a big place at Port Royal, no one is bored enough to have a drinking party every day.

On the contrary, the common class had more entertainment, and at the very least, they would never get tired of soaking in the tavern.

Townsend stood in front of the window of his room, overlooking the whole of Port Royal and the sparkling sea in the moonlight.

In addition to the fence built on the seaside, the town in the harbor is not actually much lit, but the dock is still brightly lit, and you can even see the ant-like crowds surging, I think that in addition to the soldiers who keep the gold coins all night, there are not a few citizens who watch the excitement.

Townsend didn't have much emotion about this scene, how to use gold coins to make himself more famous in Port Royal was a plan that had been set a long time ago, and five hundred gold coins would not cause any ripples in his heart at all-

Truth be told, money was nothing more than a number in Townwex's mind.

It's a bit of a pretense to say this.,After all, I'm just a poor guy in the real world who can't even afford a house.,But it's true.,After all, having unlimited money.,It's like opening a modifier in the game.,People often don't care about things that are easy to get.。

If it weren't for the fear of being too shocking and causing it to backfire, Townsend wouldn't mind just piling up the entire dock with gold coins.

"Money has to be used to the fullest in Port Royal, and when you go to sea, money probably won't have this kind of miracle effect."

Whether it is the Black Pearl or the flying Dutchman, it is not just money that can be impressed.

"Before Jack Sparrow arrives at Port Royal, we'll have to find a way to get that gold Aztec coin."

Townsen's gaze looked through the wooden door, as if he were looking at Elizabeth's room on the same floor.

The coin was there, and no one but Elizabeth knew it existed, and even if it disappeared, Elizabeth would not have been able to look for it with much fanfare.

The easiest way to get close to the water is to find an opportunity when no one is paying attention, and go directly to Elizabeth's room to take the gold coin.

"No, it's too risky."

Townsend shook his head.

Elizabeth is the rebel of Governor Swan, once the act of stealing is discovered, all the foreshadowing she has done before will be in vain, and Townsend knows very well that there is no way to do this kind of thing without a trace.

Don't look at yourself now that you are beautiful on the surface, but if you make a mistake, you can only wait for death when you return to reality.

"What can be solved with money, try to solve it with money."

Townsend rubbed the wooden windowsill.

"Looks like we'll have to get in touch with the Governor's servants tomorrow."

......

Knock knock.

A knock on the door woke Townsend from his dream, and he opened his eyes to the ceiling with a beautiful carved wood grain.

It was already dark, and I forgot to close the window last night, and there was a sea breeze blowing in, with a faint coolness.

"The nobility of this era is too good at enjoyment." Townsend stretched and had to admit that sleeping in a handmade cotton mattress and silk bedding was a treat.

Lazily dressed in white lining, he opened the door, and outside the door stood two maids in their twenties, each holding a tray with neatly folded clothes.

"Good morning, Mr. Tang." The maid greeted politely, "Your Excellency the Governor has sent someone to buy new clothes considering that you are not carrying a change of clothes, do you need us to change them for you?" ”

“...... No, I'll do it myself. ”

The clothes were standard aristocratic and even had a delicate silver wig, certainly not the curly and long style of Governor Swan, but the slightly curly sides of most naval officers.

Townsend was not interested in the wig at all, and still tossed the wig and stockings aside in the style of yesterday.

After thinking about it, he poured out ten more gold coins, put them in the pocket of the changed clothes, and hung them 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." Tang Sen nodded, did not forget to take out two gold coins, and said with a smile: "Thank you two young ladies." ”

The eyes of the two maids suddenly straightened, a reward of gold coins? I can't dream of this kind of plot!

As mentioned earlier, the salary of a maid is very low, much lower than that of a male maid, and the lowest maid is even only one hundred and twenty pence a year, like the maid in the Doge's Palace, which is naturally a little more generous, but it will not exceed two pounds, which belongs to the direct reward of half a year's salary.

No wonder the whole Port Royal is crazy for this Oriental!

The two maids looked visibly eager, and led Tang Sen to the dining room, one left and one right, and Tang Sen was also happy, and asked casually: "The Governor's Mansion is so big, there should be a lot of servants, right?" ”

"Not too much." A younger-looking maid replied, "After all, there are very few guests here, only the Governor and Miss Swan, except for the butlers, the grooms, the guards, and the cooks, all of whom are mainly men, and only the two of us are the maids who take care of the food and clothing." ”

"Oh?" Tang Sen smiled: "Then Miss Swan is also taken care of by the two of you?" ”

"Miss Swan's daily life is mainly the responsibility of Gillianne." The maid glanced at the slightly chubby red-clothed maid next to her, and her tone was a little sour: "She is much more comfortable than me, Miss Swan is not at home most of the time, and she doesn't need to follow, so she has a lot of free time." ”

Townsend looked at the maid named Gillianne and smiled, "Doesn't Miss Swan like to be followed?" ”

"Miss Swan didn't like to let me follow him when she went to see Mr. Turner." Gillian seemed to be a talker, and talked about it with interest: "Mr. Turner does have a cute face, but in comparison, I still think Colonel Norrington is more suitable, but unfortunately Miss doesn't seem to have much interest in Colonel Norrington..."

The young maid hurriedly kicked Ji Lian'an, Ji Lian'an felt speechless, and quickly lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I talked too much." ”

"It's okay, I'm not going to complain to the Governor and Miss Swan." Tang Sen smiled kindly: "By the way, can you please ask Miss Jilian to help me clean up the room?" I don't need any clothes to change into, so please help me get rid of them. ”

"Of course, it's my pleasure." Gillian bowed and turned away.

Townsend smiled meaningfully, and followed the young maid to the dining-room, where Elizabeth and Governor Swan were already seated, and the breakfast was not very formal, and the cheese, bread, and milk tasted very ordinary—and Townsend did not expect the food of England to be very good.

During this time, Elizabeth kept urging Townsend to see Mr. Turner, which provoked Governor Swan's calm face early in the morning, and Townsend just dealt with it casually a few times, and kept his attention upstairs, until he saw the maid in red hurrying past the door of the dining room with her clothes and walking outside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Mr. Tang seems to be in a good mood today?"

Governor Swan keenly noticed Townwn's expression and spoke.

"Port Royal always puts people in a good mood, doesn't it?"

He put down the dishes, stood up, and said with a smile: "I don't eat much for breakfast, please use it slowly, I'll take a look first." ”

Unhurriedly, I walked out of the restaurant and saw the red figure disappearing from the corner of the corridor.

"Originally, it was just a whimsical move, but I didn't expect it to be in one step." While chasing after him, Tang Sen sighed in his heart: "The greed of human nature." ”

The maid in red seemed to be preoccupied and didn't notice Townwex's follow, and soon, Townsend saw the other party enter a utility room in the corner.

Tang Sen slowed his steps and walked unhurriedly to the door, and unexpectedly heard the voice of more than one person inside.

"Henry, what did you find when I packed my clothes?" It was the voice of the maid Gillian: "Ten gold coins!" We're rich! ”

"You... How dare you? Put it back! If you find out, it's over! The other voice was clearly a man, and his tone was one of horror.

"What are you afraid of, this is Mr. Tang's clothes, he said he doesn't need it anymore, let me help throw it away." Ji Lian said happily: "A big man like him, where will he remember the change in his clothes?" ”

"Even if he remembers, I'm afraid he won't bother to ask me to come back, after all, he gave me a gold coin for his tip this morning."

Hearing this, Tang Sen outside the door smiled silently.

It seems that it is not only because of the greed of human nature, but more importantly, because of his money-swaking style, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the generous reward in the morning, so that the maid feels that there is no risk, so that such a simple attempt directly hits the bull's-eye.

Originally, Tang Sen still had a lot of backup plans in mind, but now it seems that he can't use them.

"However, tipping is tipping... You're stealing, you're going to be hanged! The conversation in the room continued.

"Steal... Who stole it? How can the matter of packing clothes be called stealing? Oh, you're too timid, this is a great opportunity, if you're so honest, when will we be able to scrape together enough money to leave? What about going to England together and living together openly? ”

"Well... Well, don't tell anyone about it. The man's tone softened.

"I'm not stupid! If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? ”

It's almost time to play.

Tang Sen retracted his expression, and with a click, the door was gently pushed open, and the light couldn't wait to get in, reflecting the figures of the two people.

The red-clothed maid Gillian was holding the gold coin in her hand, and opposite him, a somewhat balding groom was half-crouched in front of the maid.

"I'm sorry to hear you talking."

Tang Sen casually walked into the room, closed the door, looked at the two of them's instantly pale expressions, and said in a flat tone: "Do you need me to give you a chance to explain?" ”

“......”

Ding——

The gold coin fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and Gilian's whole body collapsed to the ground, and the groom trembled all over, burying his head and not daring to say a word.

"Looks like it doesn't need an explanation."

Tang Sen Shi Ran said: "It's a pity, it seems that I ruined the dream of the two of you, for ten gold coins, it's really not worth it." ”

"No... No... Please! When she woke up from a dream, she crawled over and begged, "Mr. Tang, I will return the gold coins to you, and I beg you not to tell anyone else, or I will die, and the Governor will definitely send me to the gallows." ”

"It's a bit of a struggle."

Tang Sen was expressionless: "Why should I help you?" Help someone who stole my money? ”

"I... You can do whatever you tell me to, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die! ”

Jilian Ann pushed the groom next to him hard: "Henry, you have a word!" ”

"I said it a long time ago... It's been said a long time ago... What shouldn't have been stolen, now that something has happened, we're dead, dead. The groom just buried his head and trembled and repeated.

The groom's psychological endurance is obviously much worse than that of the maid.

Tang Sen frowned, realizing that it would be counterproductive to press any longer, so he interrupted the two of them begging for mercy, and his tone softened: "Originally, I would never tolerate this situation. ”

"But listening to your conversation just now, the reason for stealing is not unforgivable, after all, who wouldn't be carried away by love?"

"No... That's right! Ji Lian'an seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and said urgently: "I'm just dizzy for a while!" ”

"I've always been a helpful person." Townsend said slowly: "Ten gold coins, I can give it to you, and even, I can give you more, far more than you think, enough for you to leave the Caribbean and go to London to buy a big house." ”

Both of them were stunned, and looked at Tang Sen together.

"But you have to do something for me."

Tang Sen bent down and whispered his ears, and the expressions of the two slowly became horrified, and they looked at Tang Sen in disbelief.

"No... No way, then I'll be wanted by the Governor! We're dead! ”

After listening to Tang Sen's plan, Ji Lian'an hurriedly waved his hand.

Townsend just stared straight at her, not saying a word, until she looked away uncomfortably, and the voice slowly faded.

"I don't think Miss Gillian is aware of her situation."

"Miss Gillian, you don't want the Governor to know what happened today, do you?"

"There are some things that you can do once and there is no turning back."

"Or, leave the Caribbean with a fortune that you can't 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 turn yourself in to the Governor and tell the truth about our conversation." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "However, I'm afraid no one would believe that Mr. Tang, who is so rich as the country, would covet the wealth of the governor's daughter, right?" ”

Jilian opened her mouth, unable to say a word.

Townsend straightened up again, pulled the door open and walked out.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with."
