People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 11 You don't want the governor to know what happened today, do you?
There really isn't much nightlife in this day and age.

The pastime of the elite is at most holding receptions and watching operas, but Port Royal is a bigger place, and no one is so bored as to hold receptions every day.

On the contrary, the common people have more entertainment. At least, they will never get tired of soaking in taverns.

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

Apart from the wall built by the sea, the small town in the harbor is actually not much lit, but the wharf is still brightly lit, and you can even see ants-like heads swarming around. Presumably, except for the soldiers guarding the gold coins all night, There are not a few citizens watching the excitement.

Tang Sen didn't have much emotion about this scene. How to use gold coins to accumulate greater fame in Port Royal was a plan that had already been made, and five hundred gold coins would not cause any ripples in his heart at all—

To be honest, money is just a number in Tang Sen's heart.

It's quite pretentious to say that, after all, in the real world, I'm just a poor guy who can't even afford a house, but the fact is true, after all, after having unlimited money, it's like turning on a modifier in the game, people often Don't care about things that come easily.

If it wasn't for fear of being too shocking and causing backfire, Tang Sen wouldn't mind filling the entire pier with gold coins.

"The role of money must be maximized in Port Royal. After going to sea, money may not have such a miraculous effect."

Whether it's the Black Pearl or the Flying Dutchman, neither can be moved by pure money.

"Before Jack Sparrow comes to Port Royal, I have to find a way to get that Aztec gold coin."

Tang Sen looked through the wooden door, as if seeing Elizabeth's room on the same floor.

The gold coin was there, and no one knew of its existence except Elizabeth. Even if it disappeared, Elizabeth had no way to look for it with great fanfare.

Now that I am close to the water, the easiest way 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."

Tang Sen shook his head.

Elizabeth is Governor Swann's back-liner. Once the theft is discovered, all the preparations she made before will be wiped out. Tang Sen is very aware of his skills, and there is no way to do this kind of thing without leaving a trace.

Don't look at yourself now that you have a bright future on the surface, but if you make a wrong step, you can only wait for death when you return to reality.

"Things that can be solved with money should be solved with money as much as possible."

Tang Sen stroked the wooden window sill.

"It seems that tomorrow I have to get in touch with the governor's servants."

dong dong dong.

The knock on the door woke Tang Sen from his dream. He opened his eyes and saw the exquisitely carved wood ceiling.

It was already bright, and I forgot to close the window last night, and the sea breeze was blowing in, bringing a touch of coolness.

"The aristocrats of this era are too good at enjoying themselves." Stretching his waist, Tang Sen had to admit that sleeping in the package of handmade cotton mattresses and silk quilts was a kind of enjoyment.

Lazily wearing a white lining and opening the door, two maids in their twenties stood outside the door, each holding a tray with neatly folded clothes in their hands.

"Mr. Tang, good morning." The maid greeted politely: "Master Governor, considering that you did not bring a replacement, specially sent someone to buy new ready-made clothes. Do you want us to change them for you?"

".No, I'll do it myself."

The clothes are standard aristocratic style, and there is even an exquisite silver wig, of course it is not the curly and long one of Governor Swann, but slightly curled on the sides like most naval officers.

Tang Sen was not interested in wigs at all, and still followed yesterday's style, throwing the wig and stockings aside.

After thinking about it, he poured out another ten gold coins, put them in the pocket of the changed clothes, and hung the clothes on the window casually.

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 right away." Tang Sen nodded, not forgetting to take out two gold coins, and said with a smile, "Thank you, ladies."

The eyes of the two maids stared straight at once, a reward of one gold coin?I can't imagine such a plot in my dreams!
As mentioned earlier, the salary of maids is very low, much lower than that of male servants. The lowest maid is even only 120 pence a year. The maids of the Governor’s Palace are naturally a little more generous, but they will not exceed Two pounds, this is a direct reward for half a year's salary.

No wonder the whole Port Royal is crazy about this oriental man!

The two maids looked eager to the naked eye, and led Tang Sen to the restaurant from left to right. Tang Sen also enjoyed it and asked nonchalantly, "The Governor's Mansion is so big, there should be many servants, right?"

"It's not too many." A younger-looking maid replied: "After all, there are very few guests here. Only the governor and Miss Swan live there. Apart from the housekeeper, there are grooms, guards, and cooks. Men are the main ones, and we are the only two maids who take care of daily necessities.”

"Oh?" Tang Sen said with a smile, "Then Miss Swan is also taken care of by the two of you?"

"Miss Swan's daily life is mainly in charge of Gillian." The maid glanced at the fat maid in red next to her, her tone was a little sour: "She is much more comfortable than me, Miss Swan is not at home most of the time, nor Need her to follow, a lot of free time."

Tang Sen looked at the maid named Gillian, and said with a smile, "Miss Swan doesn't like being followed?"

"Miss Swann didn't like me to follow when she went to see Mr. Turner." Gillian seemed to be a chatterbox, and she became interested in the chat: "Mr. Turner does have a cute face, but it seems In comparison, I still think Colonel Norrington is more suitable, but unfortunately, Miss seems to have no interest in Colonel Norrington."

The young maid hurriedly kicked Ji Lian'an. Ji Lian'an felt that she had slipped her words and quickly lowered her head: "Sorry, Mr. Tang, I talk too much."

"It's okay, I won't complain to the governor and Miss Swan." Tang Sen smiled kindly: "By the way, can I trouble Miss Gillian to help me tidy up the room? I don't need the changed clothes, please." Help me throw it away."

"Of course, it's my honor." Gillian saluted and turned away.

Tang Sen smiled meaningfully, and followed the young maid to the dining room. Elizabeth and Governor Swann had already been seated. The breakfast was not very formal, with cheese, bread, and milk, and the taste was very ordinary—Tang Sen did not expect the food in England to be as good as it was. How delicious.

During the period, Elizabeth kept urging Townsend, hoping that he would go to see Mr. Turner, which made Governor Swann sullen early in the morning. Townsend just dealt with it casually a few times, and kept his attention upstairs until he saw The maid in red hurried past the door of the restaurant with her clothes in her arms, and walked outside, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised.

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

Governor Swan keenly noticed Tang Sen's expression and said.

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

He put down the tableware, stood up, and said with a smile, "I don't have much breakfast, please take your time, I'll take a stroll first."

Walking out of the restaurant in a hurry, I saw the red figure disappearing from the corner of the corridor.

"It was just a casual move on a whim, but I didn't expect it to be done in one move." Tang Sen chased after him, sighing in his heart: "Human nature is greedy."

The maid in red seemed to be so preoccupied that she didn't notice Tang Sen's following. Soon, Tang Sen saw her enter a utility room in a corner.

Tang Sen walked lightly and walked to the door in a leisurely manner, and unexpectedly heard the voice of not only one person inside.

"Henry, do you see what I found when I packed the clothes?" It was the voice of the maid Gillian: "Ten gold coins! We are rich!"

"How dare you? Put it back quickly! If you are discovered, you will be finished!" Another voice was obviously a man, with panic in his tone.

"What are you afraid of? These are Mr. Tang's clothes. He said he doesn't need them any more and asked me to throw them away." Gillian said happily, "How can a big man like him remember the change in his clothes?"

"Even if he remembered, he probably wouldn't bother to ask me to come back. After all, he gave me a tip of one gold coin this morning."

Hearing this, Tang Sen outside the door quietly smiled.

It seems that it is not only because of the greed of human nature, but more importantly, because my style of spending money like water is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the extravagant rewards in the morning, the maid felt that there was no risk, so such a simple attempt hit the bullseye directly .

Originally, Tang Sen still had a lot of backup plans in mind, but now it seems that they are useless.

"But, a reward is a reward. You are stealing, and you are going to be hanged!" The conversation in the room continued.

"Steal who stole? How can you call stealing? Oh, you are too timid. This is a big opportunity. According to your honesty, when will we get enough money to leave? We agreed How about going to England together and living together openly?"

"Okay, don't tell anyone about this." The man's tone softened.

"I'm not stupid! If you don't tell me, I won't tell, who knows?"

It's almost time to step out.

Tang Sen restrained his expression, and with a click, the door was gently pushed open, and the light could not wait to get in, reflecting the figures of two people.

The red-clothed maid Gillian was holding gold coins in her hands, and opposite him, a somewhat bald groom squatted in front of the maid.

"Sorry to overhear the conversation between the two of you."

Tang Sen casually walked into the room, closed the door, looked at the instant pale expressions of the two, 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, Ji Lian'an was paralyzed on the ground, and the groom was trembling all over, burying his head and daring not to say a word.

"It seems that no explanation is needed."

Tang Sen said calmly: "It's a pity. It seems that I ruined the dreams of the two of you. It's really not worth it for ten gold coins."

"No, no, please!" Ji Lianan crawled over like a dream, and begged, "Mr. Tang, I will return the gold coin to you. Please don't tell anyone else, or I will die, Governor. My lordship will surely send me to the gallows."

"It's a bit embarrassing."

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

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

Gillian pushed the groom next to him hard: "Henry, say something!"

"I've said it a long time ago that I shouldn't steal it. Now something happened, we're dead, dead." The groom just lowered his head, repeating tremblingly.

The groom's mental capacity is obviously much worse than that of the maid.

Tang Sen frowned, realizing that any further pressure would be counterproductive, so he interrupted the two begging for mercy and softened his tone: "Originally, I would never tolerate this kind of situation."

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

"That's right!" Ji Lian'an seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "I just lost my head for a while!"

"I've always been a helpful person." Tang Sen said slowly, "It's only ten gold coins, I can give you, even, I can give you more, far more than you imagined, enough for you to leave Caribbean, go to London and buy a big house."

Both of them were taken aback, and looked at Tang Sen in unison.

"But you have to do one thing for me."

Tang Sen bent down and listened to him. The expressions of the two gradually became horrified, and they looked at Tang Sen in disbelief.

"Not impossible, I will be wanted by the governor! We are dead!"

After hearing Tang Sen's plan, Ji Lian waved her hands quickly.

Tang Sen just looked directly at her and said nothing until she looked away uncomfortably and her voice slowly disappeared.

"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?"

"Some things, once done, there is no going back."

"Or, leave the Caribbean with wealth that can't be spent 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 surrender to the governor and tell the truth about our conversation." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "However, I am afraid that no one would believe that Mr. Tang, who is so rich as a country, would covet the wealth of the governor's daughter, would he? "

Gillian opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Tang Sen stood up straight again, opened the door and walked out.

"Then, happy cooperation."

　Two in one today.
