Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 116: Trial of Pirates

In the end, Gordon can only express sympathy for Harry's series of experiences, after all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen.

The matter of compensation has been settled on a good wine and a big meal. After all, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a single drink. If there is, then there will be two meals. However, there is still business to be done at the moment, and drinking can only be postponed to a later date.

This time across the Atlantic Ocean, the distance was not as long as the last time, so Gordon was going to buy more livestock. With the experience of the last time, he repeatedly told Allen not to buy too many potatoes, but also to buy some vegetables, and tangerinr.

Oranges are the longest-preserving fruits in the sea. Even if they are stored for twenty days, they may just be dehydrated. This is also the experience I learned from Coolidge.

In this September season, Lisbon's flowers are still blooming like spring. The group continued to climb along the stone road, and then found the only market on the side street. It was somewhat empty and noisy. The farmers brought their own specialties. market hawking.

"Sir, this is freshly baked bacon, good mutton, and smoked fish, all of which can be kept at sea for a long time."

Gordon, with a large group of people, of course became the rich man in these people's hearts. In this prosperous port, there is almost no time to distinguish the season. At any time, you can find what you need in this market.

Another sneaky person walked up to Gordon's ear and whispered, "Sir, I have a lot of rum here, which is much cheaper than the one in the tavern. Do you need it?"

In this era, brewing is subject to a lot of taxes. The wine of any formal registered brewery is a lot more expensive. These bootleg wine sellers are exempt from tax, and it is a hugely profitable industry.

"Oh? When can it be loaded onto the ship?"

Gordon suddenly came to the nature. In such a large and regular port, he dared to sell bootleg wine. Where are these people's wine hidden?

"Sir, if you want, we can deliver it early tomorrow morning, but it can only be traded on the ship. You know, we must be careful with the preservation of these goods."

This sneaky young man looked at the patrolling soldiers walking by, and shrank his body to the side, it seemed that he had suffered from these people.

In the end, Gordon shook his head and rejected this man's trade request. After all, he didn't have the money, and he didn't need to deal with these people. Getting into trouble with the Portuguese Navy would only add to the trouble.

Under the disappointed eyes of the young man, Gordon walked forward with the person.

After wandering around for a while, I found a lot of good things here.

First of all, there are spices. There are hemp peppers, cinnamon, sesame oil and olive oil here. These things can greatly improve the meals of sailors on board. There was also some incense, which could change the horrific smell of the sailors in the cabin, so I quickly bought a lot.

Secondly, there are more abundant fruits. Gordon has even found the prototype of canned fruit here, which is really an incredible thing.

In this era, some people have begun to realize that heating can prevent food from spoiling, but it seems that the sealing is not enough. This kind of canned food in a glass bottle is said to only guarantee fifteen days without spoilage, and is welcomed by many captains.

Of course, Gordon bought a lot, not only food for sailing, but Gordon wanted to study how these products were made.

"The pirate trial has begun, the Central Court, come and see the pirates being tried!"

Well, there is also the custom of watching pirates hanged here. People who heard the news were in a hurry and wanted to take a quick look at the dregs of these **** things, doing evil in the sea, and even killing their own relatives and friends.

However, this is just a court trial, and there may still be a few days or even a dozen days before the hanging.

Harry was so excited that he wanted to see this kind of activity that excites everyone, but he looked at Gordon on the side, and forcibly retracted his footsteps. He promised that he must not leave this person. half step.

In fact, Gordon had no interest in this kind of behavior at all, but he always listened to it a lot and wanted to see what was so attractive about this kind of thing.

"Alan, you take the sailors to continue the acquisition, and I'll go with Harry."

It is said that when a person is hanged, his eyes are turned out, and when he falls, his cervical vertebra is directly torn off. A skilled soldier will tie the pirate's trousers tightly to prevent the excrement from contaminating the ground under his feet.

No matter what he said, he had never seen anyone really hanged.

Although there are many gallows in Havana, Gordon almost never went to see it, because one time he ran secretly and was almost caught by his father and broke his leg, and told him: "If you have this behavior again, send it to a better place. remote farms."

Now he has figured it out, this kind of activity is not good for the growth of young people, it will only increase people's hostility and indifference to life.

Allen could only nod his head and prepare to carry out the captain's order, although he really wanted to go see it. Seeing that all these **** people were hanged, he was excited to think about it.

Gordon took Harry and moved in the direction of a large number of people. Although it was said that, it would be better to say that he was surrounded by the crowd and moved toward the court located not far away.

A large number of people crowded into this towering house. The first floor belonged to jurors and judges, as well as lawyers and soldiers. Only a small number of people crowded in the corner.

More people went up to the second floor, and the two took advantage of their physical strength to squeeze directly to the inner side, leaning against the fence to watch.

A pirate with handcuffs and hinges was brutally locked into the middle wooden fence by soldiers, like a lamb to be slaughtered, UU reading www.uukanshu. com This pirate is already forty years old, and the crowd around him is a little numb, and he has no fear of death.

boom!

Seeing the pirate staring at the judge with a terrifying look, a heavy gun **** smashed directly into his back, he could no longer show this look, but clutched his chest Bend down.

Well-dressed guardsmen begin to read out the charges.

"Pirate Jean, you've been charged with piracy, robbery, theft, smuggling... Do you have anything to say?"

"Hang him!"

"Hanging him is unforgivable..."

The unidentified crowd of onlookers shouted loudly, but they agreed.

Because they don't want to listen to what this person has to say, the only thing they want to see is this person, sentenced to hang, floating on the gallows.

boom!

"Silence!"

The judge smashed his little hammer to silence the voices.

"Ha, ha ha~ Yes, I did it all, you **** bastards..."

The abuse was interrupted before he could say it.

"The person being tried has no defense, what's the jury's opinion?"

The judge asked the well-dressed crowd with wigs sitting beside them. They were sitting on the stools of the stairs, and they were obviously much more qualified than others.

"The opinion of the jury deprives the political rights, the right to the defense, the deprivation of citizenship for life, the sentence of hanging..."

Gordon was stunned anyway. Although he didn't understand a word of these Portuguese, he could tell from the situation. The trial of a human life only took two minutes, and then the judge hammered down his own hammer, the pirate. Was taken down, followed by another.
