People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 12 Tragedy at sea is always like this
Mr. William Turner did have a handsome face.

It was a pity that his less respectable clothes made him look more like a coachman when he stood beside Miss Swann.

Ms. Swan didn't seem to care about these things. She happily introduced Mr. Turner to Townsend. She didn't hesitate to praise her, saying that he had superb casting skills and would soon become the best blacksmith in Port Royal.

Tang Sen was naturally not interested in the blacksmith, what he cared about was the blood flowing in the other's body.

Of course, if I remember correctly, Mr. Turner also has good fencing skills.

"Mr. Tang." Facing this strange oriental face in front of him, William Turner was polite and respectful: "I've heard rumors about you, and I even know old Bernard. It's the one who won ten gold coins by guessing heads and tails. Old sailor, you changed his life."

"If money alone can make people happy, I'd be happy to contribute a small amount." Tang Sen said with a smile, "Mr. Turner, do you think money can bring you happiness?"

"Of course, at least in most cases." William Turner waved his arms: "Mr. Tang, I think money and status are the lifelong pursuits of most people, and I am no exception. With money, I have ability to pursue my happiness, isn’t it?”

While he was speaking, he glanced at Elizabeth who was standing aside, which was keenly captured by Elizabeth, and she said bluntly, "Will, you know, I never care about these things."

William Turner was a little embarrassed, quickly lowered his head, and said, "Miss Swan, please don't get me wrong."

"How many times do I need to stress this to you? Please call me Elizabeth."

"At least one more time, Miss Swann."

"Ahem——" Tang Sen interrupted the conversation between the two, and said, "Mr. Turner, I wonder if you are interested in participating in my game?"

"Of course! Of course!" William Turner's eyes lit up immediately. Wasn't he talking about Mr. Tang's selfishness with Elizabeth just to get this opportunity?
At least in the foreseeable future, he may only be able to silently watch Elizabeth and the high-spirited Colonel Norrington become a couple, and even enter into marriage, while himself, just an apprentice blacksmith, Where is the right to step in?

But if he can win Mr. Tang's game, everything will be different. Although five hundred guineas are still far away from being a high-ranking naval officer, it is enough to make him break away from his current class and have the courage to speak out his heart to Elizabeth. .

"Very good." Tang Sen nodded reservedly, and said, "Let's go to the pier. I think the people in Port Royal have been waiting for a long time."

He paused, then suddenly said: "By the way, speaking of it, I know another person, also named William Turner. I think this is also our fate, isn't it?"

William Turner was stunned. After a moment, he suddenly said anxiously: "Mr. Tang, my father has the same name as mine. Is that man a sailor? He looks similar to me?"

"Unfortunately, the William Turner I know is not a sailor." Tang Sen said without stopping, "He is a pirate. Of course, he is not even a pirate now."

"As for the appearance, Mr. Turner, you don't want to know, that poor man has only a miserable, creepy body left."

Mr. Turner's expression froze immediately.

"Please forgive my abruptness." He smiled wryly: "Since my mother died, I came to the Caribbean to look for my father. For so many years, this is the first time I have heard news about my father. Unfortunately, I His father couldn't have been a pirate."

"The sailing father and the mother and son who were left on the shore, tragedies at sea are always like this, isn't it?" Tang Sen stopped the topic and said, "I believe you will find your father, Mr. Turner, Oh, the pier is here."

As expected, the pier was already crowded with people. When Tang Sen came over, the noise was overwhelming like a wave.

No need to introduce himself, Townsend's face is already recognizable enough in Port Royal.

The crowd consciously made way for a passage, allowing Tang Sen to walk to the center smoothly. The exhausted naval soldiers hurriedly stood up holding their guns, trying to appear energetic, while inside the glass box surrounded by soldiers , the brilliance of gold coins is still dazzling.

"Soldiers, you have worked hard."

Tang Sen didn't waste time talking about the scene, and waved to the back, and Warrant Officer Tom came forward carrying the small wooden box that had been prepared earlier.

"I have come to fulfill the promise made last night, because the Royal Navy has been working all night to protect the property of citizens, and I will give each person ten gold coins."

He opened the small wooden box, and the soldiers' eyes were immediately attracted by the gold coins.

"I have to emphasize that under the witness of many Port Royal citizens, this is purely my gift. Now, gentlemen, are you willing to accept my gift?"

"Of course!" the soldiers yelled.

Tang Sen smiled with satisfaction, counted out ten gold coins from the box, handed them to the nearest navy, and said, "Sir, may I know your name?"

"Darwin Paul, sir!"

"Mr. Paul, please don't call me sir, I'm just a traveler."

"Yes, Mr. Tang!" The soldier excitedly took the gold coin and saluted: "It's a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and walked to the next soldier: "So, what's your name?"

"Wallace Corey! It's a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Tang!"

"Bell Stanford! It's a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Tang!"

"."

Tang Sen chatted with the soldiers one by one tirelessly. In the eyes of everyone in Port Royal, if it weren't for the golden gold coins in everyone's hands, he would have seemed to be condolences to the officers under him.

In fact, soldiers have never been more energetic than before, even in the face of their superiors.

It wasn't until he handed the gold coin to the last soldier that Tang Sen clapped his hands and said, "I think gentlemen are already exhausted, please go back and rest. Of course, these gold coins need to be placed on the pier for a few days." , I welcome any enthusiastic navy to come to protect the property of citizens, and I will spare my meager resources, and my promise remains valid.”

"Mr. Tang, I'm not sleepy yet, can I continue to guard here?" A navy raised his hand boldly.

"Oh, Mr. Dennis." Tang Sen recognized the other party's surname, and said with a smile, "I'm happy to accept your protection, but I can't delay the navy's business because of my private affairs."

Tang Sen naturally had a degree in his heart. If the soldiers were absent from the normal duty of the navy in order to make money, Colonel Norrington might not be able to sit still.

At least for now, I don't want to completely anger the naval chief of Port Royal.

What's more, how could Tang Sen's target be this mere [-] marines?By taking turns, you can reach more people.

"Protecting the safety of Port Royal is more important than these yellow and white things, isn't it?"

Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's better to ask the gentlemen who are on vacation to work hard."
