XXVI. Settling-in Allowance
The faces of the sailors in the dimly lit aisles were uneasy, and it did not bode well that they had died the next day on board.
Maika pushed the crowd forward and touched the skin of the corpse, which was completely cold and stiff, and had not yet gone to sea, and had no shifts, he had died in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep.
"I found this."
A sailor picked up a piece of paper from the ground, which was pressed against two empty wine bottles, both of which were drunk clean, and he removed the bottle and pulled it out.
"Give it to me."
Maika ordered, and the sailor came by courier.
Mika looked at it quickly, not knowing what kind of expression to put on.
At this time, Lister, Fin, and Oaks also rushed over, looking at the corpses that were still hanging on the lintel of the aisle, and their faces were not good-looking.
There were quite a few people who died on board, but not a few died during the berth, and today there is another one.
Li Si Te was about to ask for details.
"For you."
Maika took the paper to List.
Li Shi was at a loss, took the paper and looked at it, fortunately, this person has no culture, and there are no rare words on it.
[Hailly to Captain Blacksail:
I know that you are a righteous man who has given the property of the lord of Blue Bay to the local townspeople.
My head is worth eight golden dragons, and I bother you to cut it off, take it to the Legal Affairs Department for money, and send it to Antilesia in Maple Town in the north of the Duchy of Pema.
The great grace will be reported in the next life. 】
The content is short, unsigned, and it is not known who Antilesia is, but it is supposed to be a woman's name.
Li Shi had a headache, so he said that there was retribution for doing good deeds, and I knew that I would not divide it, did I want to divide it myself? Leave it to the people in the town, the admiral has a reason to take the lord's money from the common people with his troops, and if he transfers it once, it is equivalent to earning it, not from the lord's house, if he doesn't disperse, then he can't chase and beat himself? The people can keep a little bit in their hands, make a small amount of money for themselves, make a big profit for the admiral, do business with each other, and make money only when they are harmonious.
", I really know how to choose a place, people are good, I have to exchange my life for money."
Li Si Te lit a cigarette and smoked it, not knowing what the man thought.
Maika said: "This person came to me last night to treat his leg, but the wound has been completely necrotic and must be amputated. ”
Maika couldn't help but think of the husband of the prostitute that day, if he lacked arms and legs in this world, and had no one to raise him, it would be no different from a death sentence.
"So now the case is closed, this person committed suicide."
Fen was extremely indifferent, he glanced at the sailors around him, fortunately, it was not a big deal, there was not much negative impact, and the matter of these coolies to rectify the big wine was over.
Li Shi ordered him to go down and circulate the paper to each sailor, so that they could sort out what was going on, and not be suspicious.
After all the sailors had finished reading it.
The big man with a skull tattoo on his bald head was particularly active, "What a man, enough for you!" Captain! I helped him cut off his head. ”
With that, the tattooed man picked up the scimitar and walked towards the corpse.
"Stop, what are you messing with?"
Li Site stopped this stunned young man, what did he do to help, isn't this a troublemaker? Presumably yesterday he killed Ge Liwei and also established, he likes the newcomer the most, and then he should consider the subjective initiative, the work is well done, there is hope for the future, and the life is auspicious.
The tattooed man was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Look at my pig's head, didn't our gang of pirates go to the Justice Department to fall into the net?" Or throw it into the sea. ”
Li Siter's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to kill someone, this person is positive and positive, but he lacks heart.
"You'd better rest." Li Si took back the man's suicide note, carefully folded it and put it in the inner compartment of his clothes, "Although he has only been on the black sail for one day, since he can trust me and is willing to give me the money for his life, then he can be regarded as a person of the black sail." As the saying goes, go into the soil for peace, carry this guy to the mountain, find a high position, bury it in a place with a better scenery, and give him the settlement fee of eight golden dragons. ”
Li Si smacked his cigarette, only this is the best solution, and this guy is indeed a man, but he doesn't know if the woman named Antilesia is worth it.
A large group of sailors in the aisle are also embarrassed, all the big forces in the underground world of the Western Continent have a saying of settlement fees, this is completely impossible to land on the sea, it should not be like this, no pirate ship has this kind of rule, Li Si Te is a real benevolent and righteous person.
Fen knew that Li Si Te was buying people's hearts, and it was worth exchanging eight golden dragons for a certain degree of heartfeltness, at least it showed one thing, as long as he died well and was willing to devote himself to his career, he would also arrange the future, even if he worked hard.
Oaks Wannian poker face, the Principality of Pema is now full of bandits, the court is weak, the faces of the major nobles are ugly, and they are infinitely close to the brink of collapse, and they are only one step away.
Boatswain Wren was late at this point and asked about the situation.
"It's really unlucky, you guys take this guy and bury it, don't be perfunctory, it's better to make the scenery and build a better look. At noon today, let the chef Archer kill a few sheep, his old man used to be a palace chef, and his skills were ranked first in the Western Continent. Don't cry one by one with a sad face, this buddy is a murderer, it is a joy and mourning at sea, okay, it's all gone, all go to wipe the deck for Lao Tzu, I'll check before lunch, if there is a little ash or oil stains, don't want to eat mutton. ”
Wren yelled, he had to get the matter done quickly, and it just so happened that a few sous chefs had been hired yesterday, and Archer could start the stove.
Li Si was speechless, or will you blow it, the joy and sorrow are coming.
A group of sailors heard that the eyes of the sheep were straight, and they were still palace cooks, this proper aristocratic treatment, it was really a joy and a loss.
This group of people was so excited that they kept shouting, thanks to the blessing of this master, and they were so happy that they walked to the deck.
Several people, led by the tattooed man, also untied the hemp rope on the lintel of the crossing, put the deceased down, and found a stretcher plank from the Chase shop.
"Be careful, don't knock this master down, that's all there is to the ship, let's try our best to give him a good look."
The tattooed man walked in front and carried the hardest work, and together they moved to the mountain above the secret harbor to be buried.
Ten minutes later.
The navigation room at the end of the bow and stern line, the chess and card activity room in the middle of the black sail.
Archer was busy with lunch with the new sous chef, while Wren and Morrison were outside to supervise the work.
The rest of the people had gloomy expressions.
Wollman, though with a degree in moderate history, was not so easy to dispel the legacy of moorland culture, and was the most superstitious man on board.
"It's unlucky to die before you go to sea." Wollman hesitated for a moment, he himself hated all nobles, and added: "Maybe it's a bad omen, we should hurry up and pull some sailors who can do things, and go to sea quickly, the so-called big job, forget it, now the money on the ship can live happily for a long time, the privateer license, the big guys in the Heavenly Port have no ability to get it, I think it is still necessary to trickle the water." ”
Oakes vetoed: "Everything can be perfunctory, but the sailors on the ship cannot, although it is just a minion, if there is an encounter at sea, the sail control will not control the sail, the cannon will not fire, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be directly frightened, we will sink with the ship." ”
Swann was far more ambitious than Wolman, and he was also Fin's mouthpiece, saying: "The things I stole are on the ship, and now we have more money than the big guys in Heavenly Harbor. ”
Everyone was shocked by Swan's words, this snitch is usually silent, and when he opens his mouth, he is more explosive, he is determined to get this single job, and the ambition of the bird belongs to yes.
Li Si Te is also a little undecided, although he is a materialist warrior, but this time it is really unlucky, and the lord's big job does not know what it is.
At this time, Heywood pushed open the door, looked at the gloomy faces of the people present, and said heartily: "The surprise is coming, the earl has given us a gift, saying that it is to treat us and let the brothers improve their lives. ”
Xia Di slapped his forehead, and really let Wren say it, where can I wait for five days, and now I have come, it's really a big job, is it going to assassinate Emperor Alan, or what?
