Chapter 108 Slave!
There were only two people on the side boat, sitting in the canoe one by one and the other behind. They should be fishing. Hong Tao could see them, but they had not found the Predator yet because they did not have a telescope. Even if there were, it was too late. The Predator had completed the steering, and the front spinnaker and mainsail were full of wind and rushed over at nearly ten knots of speed. If you want to compare speed with the monosail, the multi-hail ship was born without any advantage.
"Don't slow down, just crush their ships and smash them. It's better not to hurt people. This is our first unsuccessful deal. Whether it can be successful depends on your skills!" When the two ships were about one kilometer away, the people on the side of the boat finally discovered the Predator, but they were not panicked or dodged, but they just supported the sails and planned to let the channel open. Hong Tao did not drive the boat himself. He stood on the top of the cabin with a mast and held the telescope to command. The steering was Bo Jiao, who didn't know what Hong Tao was going to do. Hong Tao and Carl spoke German. But after several months of influence, Bo Jiao was used to treating every word of the captain's words as the truth. You can think, think, think, disagree, but not object, delay, and question.
"…%*&%%¥¥!" When the people on the side boat found that the Predator was in bad intentions, it was too late to avoid it. They could only curse loudly in language that Hong Tao could not understand, and were crushed by the Predator's hull from the sub-hull of their side boat. In an instant, the boat was smashed into pieces, and the two people, together with the canoe, were swept into the sea by the wake.
"Slow down the sail, turn!" Hong Tao had already seen clearly. The two people on the boat were not old and should not be over 40 years old. They were thin and dark in their skin, with dark hair and eyes. They were a standard Southeast Asian race. Now he was completely relieved. Since he was not from Song, there was no reason to say it. Besides, do pirates use reasoning?
"You two are careful. They may have things like short swords on them. Let's lie down first. We are not talking about business, but catching slaves." After the Predator found the wreckage of the side boat, he slowly leaned forward. Hong Tao picked up a harpoon and gestured to the two people lying on the canoe to come over, while reminding Karl and Bojiao to pay attention to their own safety. In fact, it is mainly for Bojiao to hear that Karl is a knight after all, and he has participated in the Crusades. Whether he has fought or not, he is a soldier. He will not be too confused when encountering such a thing. Bojiao is different. He is a fisherman, and no matter how tough a fisherman is, he is a fisherman, and there is still a big gap between soldiers and robbers.
"Hey, I'm a bad temper. I'm all pirates. They dare to shout at me. They must be scolding me! It seems that I'm not fierce enough. Even if I'm a pirate, I'm all kind pirates. Okay, Carl, come on and use a crossbow to give them a crossbow to let them know what fear is!" After gestured several times, the two people in the water not only didn't move, but also shouted at Hong Tao from time to time, as if condemning the reckless behavior of the Predator just now. This made Hong Tao very depressed. If you can't be a bad person, how can you do it in the future?
"Sir, what if I accidentally shot one to death?" Cal was even worse than Hong Tao. He actually thought about the addiction to killing people. This guy must have killed a lot before!
"This is easy to deal with. How much does one of your young slaves in the Holy Roman Empire cost? Just double the compensation. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Haven't I already started paying you a salary, so you'll deduct it from your salary." Hong Tao was not in a hurry to get these two people on the boat. There were no other ships on the sea around him, so it doesn't matter if it was a while earlier or later.
"Bang... suck..." As soon as Hong Tao finished speaking, the crossbow arrow in Carl's hand was fired out and penetrated deeply into the canoe. It was one meter away from the closest person. It seemed that Carl did not want to lose his salary, or in his country, the price of slaves was very expensive.
Although the shot was missed, the power of the crossbow arrow was still shown. The two people in the water immediately closed their mouths, obediently let go of the canoe, and climbed onto the deck with the net rope on the side of the Predator. As soon as the first person's arm was put on the deck, Hong Tao grabbed it and dragged it up like a small chicken. He skillfully pressed it on the deck and controlled it with anti-joint technique. I don't know if this person was crying out in pain or was saying something, but his mouth never stopped.
"What are you looking at? You tie people with a rope. Are you going to tie people? Are you planning to tie him or I'll tie you up?" Seeing Bo Jiaomu dazed on the side, Hong Tao's little eyes turned into triangles again, and he asked sarcastically, but the voice was not loud.
"Why should I catch them?" Bo Jiao heard Hong Tao's voice, and was even more nervous than hearing Hong Tao curse. He immediately ran over, tied the person's feet on the ground first, and then started to tie his arms. Only after he tied them all, he dared to ask in a low voice.
"Because they invaded our territorial waters... they were stealing our fish, but were discovered by the brave Captain Bojiao, and they were caught! If you go to Zhenzhou City to steal things and get caught on the spot, what should you do?" Hong Tao had been thinking about the issue of Bojiao for a long time and found a theoretical basis. As for whether there is a concept of territorial waters in this era, what if it is.
"Send it to the government to beat the board and get the prison..." Bo Jiao still didn't understand what fishing had to do with stealing, nor did he understand what connection he had with the government.
"Yes, we are catching thieves, but there is no government here, so I will decide. They will be sentenced to 50 years of hard labor. Look at Uncle Ka, you are much more neat than you, learn to be a little boy!" Hong Tao convicted the two people on the deck on the spot. When he looked back, Carl had tied the other person. The rope was tied, which was simple, beautiful and strong. The standard sail rope buckle was constantly untied.
"Sir, how far is our territorial waters?" After hearing Hong Tao's judicial interpretation, Carl had no objection, but was not very clear about some of the provisions.
"It is tentatively within the line of sight. What you see with a telescope is considered... Do you think it should be considered if you climb up the mast and use a telescope to see it?" Hong Tao announced his sphere of influence seriously and shamelessly solicited Carl's opinion.
"I think it should be counted that the eyes on the mast are also eyes, which is very reasonable!" Carl is a good chat, nonsense. He can always speak nonsense seriously, making you feel that he is very serious and respects you.
"Then it's decided, Ajiao, remember to write this rule on the whale skin, which is the first legal provision of our Jinhe Ocean Resource Management Co., Ltd., and then add the others slowly in the future! Now, keep going south. I want to see if there are still people who steal our fish. Take them away together!" Hong Tao said Cheng Xian, while tearing off a torn clothes from the man on the deck, forcibly stuffed it into his mouth, carrying him to the front hatch, lifting the hatch cover, and throwing it in directly. The other person was even more miserable. Carl was afraid that he would spit out the rag in his mouth, so he simply tore up another cloth and tied his mouth.
"Do you have slaves in your family? Can you tell me how many?" Hong Tao could tell me from Carl's series of actions that he was definitely not a novice.
"I am a knight, not a slave owner! These things are handled by my housekeeper." Carl answered very cunningly, and he pushed six and two five, which was very shameless like Hong Tao.
The further south the Predator encountered more ships, including side boats and serious wooden boats. Hong Tao adhered to a principle that he would never leave any witnesses, either just stew or just don't do it. When the sun sets west, he finally saw the entrance of a bay in his telescope, and two sailboats with displacement of hundreds of tons were sailing out of the bay and heading to the south.
