Chapter 1169 300,000 Dinars

Grumman thought that by shouting these words, he would make the opponent put down their weapons.

After all, the empire is still at its peak, and the Royal Navy is unrivaled across the seven seas. The officials of the empire are the local emperors. If they dare to attack the officials of the empire, it is tantamount to rebellion. The whole family will be implicated, they will be hanged, and the whole family will be sold into slavery.

Therefore, no one dares to disrespect imperial officials.

Grumman also used his identity to bully business travelers.

He originally thought that it would be the same today. With his status as an imperial official and the two hundred elite port guards behind him, wouldn't he be able to capture a passing minor noble?

Unexpectedly, this kick hit the iron plate. Instead of surrendering and offering his wealth, the opponent actually dared to take up arms to resist. Was he going to rebel? Aren't you afraid of being pursued by the Royal Navy?

Grumman pointed angrily at the people on the White Bird, trying to suppress them with his identity.

"Imperial official?" Zhang Tuohai smiled upon hearing this.

"If you were not an imperial official, I might not be familiar with you, but since you are an imperial official, there is nothing to say."

Zhang Tuohai snapped his fingers.

The cable that had been quietly prepared suddenly surged, hanging Grumman and 200 port guards in the air.

Especially Grumman, who was still hanging upside down.

"You are an imperial official, right? Your father is the governor, right? Then your family must be very rich, right?" Zhang Tuohai came to Grumman and asked coldly.

"You, what are you going to do? Put me down quickly. Let me tell you, I am an imperial official and my father is the governor. If you dare to touch me, it will be regarded as rebellion and you will be hunted to death by the Royal Navy!" Gru Man said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhang Tuohai smiled.

"Do you think I'm not wanted by the Royal Navy now? Let me tell you, my bounty is 100,000 dinars. So, I won't ask you for more. You will pay 100,000 dinars yourself. I have 1,000 dinars each, a total of 300,000 dinars. If you get the money, everything will be easy. If you don’t get the money, I will tie you to the cannon and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Zhang Tuohai said with a sneer.

"300,000? Why don't you go and grab it?" Grumman yelled angrily.

"Am I not robbing you? Also, don't try to challenge my patience. My patience is limited. If there is one less dinar, I will chop off your arm."

After speaking, Zhang Tuohai controlled the cable and lowered a guard.

"You go and report the news. If I don't see the money within an hour, then let the governor go to the bottom of the sea to collect the corpse."

Zhang Tuohai said coldly.

The guard did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ran towards the Governor's Mansion.

"Isn't it bad for us to blackmail imperial officials so blatantly?" Elizabeth asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong," Zhang Tuohai said nonchalantly, "If he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, will I blackmail them? Don't worry, they will only blame me and won't implicate you. If you are scared, I can take you off the ship if you find a chance, and you can find other merchant ships to return to Orleans."

"I'm not going back." Elizabeth shook her head quickly. "When I go back, I have to get married and have children. That kind of life is too boring. I have to travel all over the seven seas to find all the delicious food in the world."

"What about you? What do you think?" Zhang Tuohai turned to Linda and asked.

"I, I don't know."

Linda shook her head.

She instinctively felt that blackmailing imperial officials was not a good thing.

But when Grumman came up and pointed a gun at them, she didn't understand.

They were just eating on the ship and didn't provoke anyone. Why did Grumman come to cause trouble for them?

Right, wrong, good and evil are entangled in Linda's heart, leaving her not knowing how to face it.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't figure it out, just think about it slowly. If you see it a lot, you will eventually figure it out."

Zhang Tuohai said calmly.

The Unsullied and the pirates ate faster, cleared the table after eating, picked up their weapons, and prepared for battle.

They both knew that a battle would soon begin.

Zhang Tuohai was still eating slowly.

The Governor's Mansion moved quickly. In less than twenty minutes, a group of infantry rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the port.

At the same time, a group of people walked out of the Governor's Mansion, carrying large boxes and rushing towards the pier.

"Everyone spread out!"

The infantry team arrived at the dock and began to drive away the people on the dock.

Seeing this situation, the sailors dared not stay anywhere and dispersed in a hurry. Some returned to the ship and some hid in the tavern.

The huge dock was quickly cleared.

After a while, the people who came out of the Governor's Palace came to the pier.

A middle-aged fat man came to the White Bird.

"I came with good intentions. We will offer a ransom and ask you to return the person to us."

The middle-aged fat man said with a smile.

"Let's look at the ransom first," Zhang Tuohai said.

"Okay, bring it up." The fat man waved.

A team of servants brought up the boxes one by one.

The boxes were opened, and each box was filled with shining dinars.

"This represents our sincerity." The fat man said with a smile.

Looking at the boxes full of dinars, the pirates couldn't help but take a deep breath, and everyone's eyes were filled with light.

After all, this is 300,000 dinars of real money, which is quite impressive when stacked together.

The total amount of money they have passed through in their lifetime may not be that much.

Seeing the looks of the pirates around him, the fat man was filled with disdain. They were indeed a group of poor people who had never seen money. Is it so easy to get money from the Governor's Mansion? I'll make you all spit it out right away.

However, his face was still full of smile: "I wonder if you are still satisfied?"

"I'm a person who always does things fairly. Since I said I would let him go after receiving 300,000 yuan, I will definitely let him go."

Zhang Tuohai snapped his fingers.

He grabbed the rope and threw Grumman and the guards to the ground.

"Ah -" Grumman screamed and covered his arm. He felt that his arm was broken.

The fat man's face twitched slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "Now that the deal is completed, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, the fat man trotted away from the White Bird.

"If Grumman is let go, will they retaliate against us?" Elizabeth asked quietly from the side.

"Don't worry, I have arrangements." Zhang Tuohai said after taking a sip of donkey meat soup.

At this moment, two second-class cruisers of the Royal Navy suddenly appeared outside the port. The gun windows were opened one by one, and the black cannons were pushed out and aimed at the White Bird.

"Everyone on board listen, immediately put down their weapons and raise their hands in surrender, otherwise they will be punished with treason!"

shouted a lobster soldier with a giant bullhorn.
