Chapter 25: Admiral of the Pudong Fleet

"Your Excellency Admiral...... I'm Sulawan from Kuala Lumpur City and I'm a reputable businessman, which you can find out all my information from the Maritime Association. Just yesterday, my three-masted merchant ship and I were heading to Busan loaded with durians from Kuala Lumpur, but a group of damn pirates stopped me......"

Sulawan was the first to salute and tell what had happened, but he deliberately concealed the spices reloaded on the ship, because these were all contraband, and if discovered, it would greatly reduce his credibility in the maritime association, thus affecting the quota of normal procurement; At the same time, he did not say anything about the existence of the archangel, he was afraid that the admiral in front of him would reduce the punishment of the pirates because of the archangel: "The matter has become very clear, to deal with these murderers on the sea, we must immediately punish them to the death penalty in order to curb the rampant pirates......"

After listening to Sulawan's stern accusation against Da Liang, the Admiral looked at Da Liang with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Sulawan's testimony has a very high degree of credibility, but I will not pronounce the verdict easily, I will give you a chance to defend yourself, you can defend yourself now." Of course, you can also admit your guilt, so things will be much easier. ”

Sidney's advice to Da Liang was to stall for time, so of course Da Liang would not admit his crime, and he assumed a gesture of disdain for Sulawong's testimony, and said, "Lord Admiral, I have never seen this lizardman at all. I was waiting for a friend in Shangjiang City, but these guys who could only roll in the mud accused me of being a pirate. This is definitely a planting, and what is really ridiculous is that these lizardmen actually framed a lord for robbing their durian ....... ”

"You're a lord?" After Da Liang declared his identity, he finally aroused the interest of the Admiral.

"Yes, I have a private territory overseas," Da Liang said as he showed off his badge representing his lordship, "As a lord, I am also dedicated to maintaining a fair maritime order, how could I do such a despicable thing to rob a shipload of durians...... I don't know why this lizardman framed me, but this behavior must be punished severely......"

Da Liang made a stern accusation of Sulawang's bad deeds like a victim, and his expression and words were very good, and he was like an upright lord who had been shamelessly framed.

The Admiral didn't know who to trust for a while: "I believe that the identity of a lord will not be as cheap as a shipload of durians. Sulawan, if you can't produce solid evidence, then I think you are insulting a noble lord, and according to the anti-sitting system, you should know what you will face? ”

Sitting back is the punishment for false accusation, that is, the punishment for the crime of being falsely accused is imposed on the false accuser. Sulawan accused Da Liang of being a pirate, and if the Admiral found him falsely accused, he would be hanged for piracy. The threat to his life made Sulawong no longer care about the credibility of the Maritime Association, and he said anxiously: "Lord Admiral, I did hide something from my confession just now. My ship was not full of durians, most of the cargo on board was spices, and it was these spices that aroused the greed of this lord, who drove me off the ship and robbed me of all my things. It is...... It was the big-eared monster outside the castle who discovered my spices, and the pirate of Sidney, a former crusader. The ship and cargo they have stolen must be on the dock somewhere, and if the Admiral orders to search for them, they will definitely be found, and if they find the ship, they will prove that my words are true. ”

Sulawan's words sparked the Admiral's contemplation, and the hall was silent as everyone awaited the Admiral's final verdict.

After a while, the Admiral said, "There are four commercial ports in Shangjiang City, and there are thousands of merchant ships of all kinds in each port, and if you add those temporary docks, the ships are even more innumerable. Is it so hard that you want me to use the power of the entire Pudong fleet to find the merchant ship that does not know whether it exists? I don't think this is the end of the matter, I won't tell the Maritime Association about your smuggling of spices, as for your pirate encounter...... Just buy yourself a lesson. Remember to hire an escort ship for your next valuable cargo shipment, and don't risk it to save money. You get out! ”

"Lord Admiral......"

Sulawan wanted to make a final effort, but was met with an impatient rebuke from the Admiral: "You should be glad that I didn't punish you for framing a lord." Don't waste any more time with me, if you want to continue to accuse this lord, go find the ship you have been robbed of. ”

Looking for a boat? How to find it! Just as the Admiral just said, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of ships moored in the entire Shangjiang area, and he and his sailors are only more than 20 people.

Feeling the admiral's anger, Sulawan did not dare to stay here for a long time, so he could only swallow his anger and walked out of the castle.

Now there are only two people left in the main hall of the castle, the Admiral and Da Liang. Da Liang had already felt the change in the Admiral's attitude just now, but he never imagined that this high-ranking Admiral would suddenly favor him.

However, the Admiral soon gave him an answer: "Sidney, I have heard of this Crusader captain, and I signed the order to dismiss him from the Pudong fleet. It was my order to suppress the smuggling of the Chongming fleet, and he did the right thing, but there will always be victims in the clash of power, and Sidney was unlucky to check a ship that should not be checked. Is he okay now? ”

It turned out that it was Sidney who made the Admiral suddenly change his attitude, and Da Liang was more and more glad that he had taken him in as a subordinate. Hearing the inquiry, Da Liang replied, "Sidney has now joined my Black Fire Collar and is now the head officer of my fleet. ”

Da Liang wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the Admiral, but who wanted the Admiral's face immediately turned cold: "Sulawan can say Sidney's name, it seems that his ship was indeed robbed by Sidney." And if you admit Sidney as your subordinate, you are indeed a pirate. Guess what I'm going to do next? Will the guards be called immediately and send you directly to the gallows? ”

It was calculated by NPCs. Da Liang didn't expect that the Admiral's words just now were to lure himself into admitting his relationship with Sidney, that is, to let himself bear that he was a pirate.

What now? Should I order Julian to fly to the rescue immediately, Sulawan didn't say anything about the archangel, I still have a chance to escape. It's just that...... Why did this admiral ask the last sentence, it was rare that she had other ideas.

Da Liang, who is not sure if Julian will be able to break through the castle's defenses, decides to wait, after all, he is a player who can be resurrected, and death is just a drop of one level, and the only worry is that he will be locked up for a period of time for pirate crimes, which is more uncomfortable than dying once.
