Chapter Forty-Six Night Running (Part 2)

The man and woman in the study had already begun to flirt. Although Sherlock's face was flushed due to the effect of alcohol, his expression was strangely calm.

It was not until both pistols were loaded with ammunition that Sherlock kicked open the hidden door of the secret room, and the two cheating men and women were taken aback.

After Sherlock entered the study, he immediately saw the two lying on the desk where Thassarian used to work. The man above turned his head when he heard the movement, and met a pair of eyes burning with anger.

Compared with the old and pot-bellied Thassarian, the tax officer is indeed much younger and handsomer. No wonder Sherlock's stepmother is willing to hook up with him, but all this will only make Sherlock more angry.

Boom!

Sherlock just shoots without saying a word. He usually plays with firearms. Of course, he is not a sharpshooter, but with such a short distance between the two, no matter how good his marksmanship is, he will not miss it.

The lead bullet went straight into the tax collector's chest, but it didn't kill him right away, but the most frightening thing about the lead bullet was that it was soft in texture. After entering the human body, it rolled and shattered, forming a cavity effect and causing more damage.

The tax officer slipped and fell to the ground like mud, wailing, and Sherlock's stepmother screamed, and when she saw Sherlock raised another pistol at her again, she suddenly stopped her voice as if someone was choking her throat.

A woman who can be married by the leader of the local chamber of commerce is naturally extremely beautiful, but in Sherlock's eyes at this time, she feels extremely ugly.

"Sherlock, you can't do this. If you kill someone, you will be arrested." The woman seemed a little quick-witted. Although she was afraid, she still grasped the point and tried to persuade Sherlock, "You are not here, you are at home." The business is really over."

"Is my father sorry for you?" Sherlock didn't answer, but asked calmly, "Of course I know you don't really like my father, but at worst, leave. You know what kind of character he is. He will embarrass you, and he will give you enough compensation, he has treated you well these years, and the property he has given you is enough for you to have no worries for the rest of your life, isn't that enough?"

I don't know if it's because of the threat of death that is close at hand, or because of conscience, Sherlock's stepmother cried bitterly: "I was wrong, Sherlock, but you really can't kill me. If you are arrested, Shining Gold The company is all over."

Sherlock didn't respond for a long time, and the woman was overjoyed, thinking that he had softened his heart.

"Are you really determined that I want to maintain the family business, so I can only be manipulated by you?" After a long time, Sherlock sighed and asked softly: "The robbers last year were actually the ones you found. Are you here?"

The woman looked up in astonishment.

Boom!

There was a gunshot, and this time Sherlock had time to aim, and he shot more accurately, hitting the opponent directly on the forehead.

The lead bullets protruded from the back of the head, bringing up a small piece of skull, and the corpse of Sherlock's stepmother still had a stunned look on his face, and fell to the ground with a "plop", lying in a pool of blood with the corpse of the tax official who had gradually died. middle.

Sherlock kept the shooting posture, motionless, until there was a sound from the study door, and he raised the pistol that was actually out of bullets and pointed at it.

After hearing the movement, the butler who rushed over saw the situation in the study, and called out palely: "Young master, young master!"

Whether it was the corpse on the ground or Sherlock holding the gun at this time, he felt scared and unfamiliar.

"Tell all the servants in the villa to leave immediately!" Sherlock's emotionless voice sounded, "You will all be fired from today onwards, go, or you will lose your chance if you don't."

After killing two people, Sherlock knew that the officials who had been eyeing him would not let him and his family's business go.

Facing the gun, the butler didn't dare to say anything more, reluctantly saluted Sherlock for the last time, and left quickly.

After the butler left, Sherlock walked behind the desk and took out a small box from the drawer. After opening the box, there was an antique gold coin inside.

This was bought by Sherlock's great-grandfather from a sailor. It is very commemorative. The family business company and the chamber of commerce got the word "golden flash" from it.

Sherlock put the box in his arms, took out a bottle of spirits from the wine cabinet, raised his head and took a few sips directly, the liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth, he wiped it casually with his sleeve, and then swung his arm.

Snapped!

The expensive spirits were thrown directly on the desk by Sherlock, and the aroma of the wine overflowed, but he still didn't stop. He took out a few more bottles of spirits from the wine cabinet, ran to the secret room and smashed them open, and smashed the bottles of wine in the secret room. The ledgers and other books and documents that record important information of the trading company and chamber of commerce were taken out of the safe and thrown on the ground.

It wasn't until all this was done that Sherlock lit a match, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it on the ledger soaked in spirits.

He won't let that shit earl get these things so easily, so that he can easily control the chamber of commerce.

...

The fire was raging, and the servants fled in panic from the villa that was billowing with smoke.

Sherlock looked at the burning villa, and until this moment, he couldn't help showing pain.

Sherlock has always thought highly of himself, but he never thought that the family business that has been overcome by generations of his family would be defeated by him!

The fire had gradually alarmed the people nearby, Sherlock wiped his eyes, took one last look at the villa, and ran towards the pier without looking back.

He will come back, will come back.

...

For pirates, the source of troops has always been a big problem.

The navy is rooted all over the world, and they can recruit troops from all over the world at any time. Whether it is talent or mediocrity, the navy will never be short of people.

Although the pirates are often compared with the navy, in fact, compared to the navy that belongs to an overall system, the pirates are actually a mess, doing their own thing, and the quality is uneven. Most of the pirates are They are a group of tramps and locusts without a foundation, and they do not have a stable supply of talents like the Navy.

But it’s not good if you don’t recruit people wholeheartedly, because unless you have the aura of the protagonist, it is difficult for the pirate group to guarantee that they will not be killed or injured after a battle.

Therefore, people can often see that the pirate group is often full of rogues, hooligans, drunkards and other low-grade goods, because the pirate group has no better choice, but when they pass by a place, they can take away some people who are willing to board the ship , and in most places, among the people who are willing to board the pirate ship, the proportion of this kind of goods is very large.

William had seen this sloppy and casual approach before when he was in the Denton Pirates, and he had never been used to it, but now, he liked the recruiting style of the Pirates very much.

This allowed him to easily get on the ship of the Redbeard Pirates.
