Chapter 290 Execution

The solemn marching drum came to an abrupt end.

The civilians in the square were in full bloom.

The stop of the marching drum beat means that the execution will begin.

In recent years, the number of pirates has dropped sharply, so people often see hanged pirates. In addition, everyone has just been looted by immortal pirates, so their hearts must be filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Captain Jack grinned as if the cheers were paying tribute to him.

Xu Feng also grinned because he knew in his heart that he would not die just like this.

This is just a plot turning point.

"...two lunatics." Elizabeth, who was sitting on the viewing stand in the distance, complained, but was extremely anxious.

In this Black Pearl incident, she has regarded Xu Feng and Captain Jack as friends. Although she has not yet had a life-long relationship, Elizabeth really doesn't want to watch her friend be called hanged like this.

At the same time, she was also lamenting her destiny.

His father, Governor Swan, was preparing for the biggest wedding ever in Port Royal, and all the invitations had been released, and she was about to marry James.

What is the difference between this and about to board the gallows?

Oh no, there is still a difference.

It's better to die on the gallows, but I have to suffer for the rest of my life in unhappiness.

"Elizabeth? Are you uncomfortable?" James asked softly.

With Elizabeth fainted last time, James was particularly careful with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth quickly slapped the fan, pretending to be a little difficult to breathe, "Yes, I... feel very uncomfortable."

James smiled comfortingly and said, "Perseverely Elizabeth, you are the future brigadier general's wife, and you must attend the hanging ceremony like this."

Elizabeth nodded in pain.

She loves freedom and hates the most are these identity rules. Before she married James, she was already in a state of breath.

At this time, the adjutant of the Royal British Navy walked onto the scaffolding platform, holding a copy of the verdict in his hand.

"Jack Sparrow! Xu Feng!"

Captain Jack grinned, "It's Your Excellency!"

Xu Feng also smiled and said, "It's Your Majesty!"

Captain Jack turned around and smiled at Xu Feng, "Haha, Xu Feng, you are crazy, even more crazy than me."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Captain, we are each other."

The adjutant glared at them fiercely, "I will announce your crimes now. If you have any grievances, you can raise them. If the majority give you thumbs up, you will be exempted from punishment. If the majority give you thumbs up, you will be hanged immediately."

Xu Feng sneered, "They know nothing."

The civilians below immediately roared in anger, smashing rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, etc. at the scaffolding platform.

Xu Feng and Captain Jack were nothing, but the adjutant and the executioner were implicated for nothing.

The adjutant covered his face and shouted: "Okay! OK! Enough, stop!"

What do the people care about? They are more depressed in their daily lives. Now that they finally have a hole in venting, how could they miss it?

They finally stopped after smashing all the rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs in their hands.

The adjutant was in a mess, covered in sticky and disgusting egg liquid.

Xu Feng and Captain Jack laughed happily.

The adjutant gritted his teeth, took out the wrinkled verdict, and read out Captain Jack and Xu Feng's guilt loudly.

Captain Jack's crimes are very long, including pirate crimes, rebellion against the state, smuggling, robbery of warships, deceiving naval soldiers, etc., while Xu Feng's crimes are only two, robbery of warships and not paying service fees.

"The crime of not paying service fees?" Xu Feng was surprised, "What service fees should I pay?"

A charming woman stood up in the crowd, "Xufeng! You didn't give me a service fee!"

Xu Feng was stunned and immediately remembered, "Ouch! Vivian! Ten gold coins!"

He once promised that as long as bar girl Vivian provides him with information about the Snow Emperor Squad, he would give Vivian ten gold coins.

However, with the invasion of the Immortal Pirates, the entire Port Royal was in chaos, and Xu Feng was also imprisoned, so he naturally had no chance to give Vivian money.

"I didn't expect to fall into this." Xu Feng smiled bitterly.

Captain Jack next to him frowned and said, "Xufeng, you are not right. We are pirates, we kill people, we set fires, we rob, we fight against the navy, we are the big villains that everyone hates, but we never eat and drink for nothing... let the bar girl serve."

Xu Feng hurriedly said, "It's not that service! It's...hehe, I can't wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River now."

"What is the Yellow River?" Captain Jack asked.

"The Yellow River is..."

"Forget it, don't interrupt it. In short, you are just wrong with the bar girl." Captain Jack taught his righteous lesson: "In the next life, if we become pirates, you must get rid of this bad habit."

Xu Feng said with a wry smile: "Captain, I really don't."

Captain Jack shook his head in disappointment, "You young man, everything is good, but your mouth is too hard."

"..." Xu Feng was really unable to explain what.

On the viewing platform, Governor Swan smiled contemptuously: "Elizabeth, have you seen it? What kind of lowly people are these people? You won't pay if you find a bar girl!"

Elizabeth's complexion turned red and she looked at Xu Feng angrily.

After reading the two of them, the adjutant cleared his throat and asked loudly: "Is anyone opposed to hanging them?"

"No!" Almost all the civilians raised their thumbs down.

"Very good, start the execution!"

At the command of the adjutant, the masked executioner immediately walked towards the mechanism wrench of the gallows.

The gallows are built wooden tables. Below the twisted rope, there is a movable wooden board connected to the mechanism wrench. As long as the mechanism wrench is released, the board will be removed. The person standing on the board will have no support points and will be directly hung.

As soon as the executioner's hand touched the mechanism wrench, someone in the crowd shouted: "Wait! I object!"

The civilians were all stunned and looked back.

I saw a young man with a wide-brimmed hat splitting apart and rushed towards the execution platform.

"It's the little blacksmith Will!"

"Oh my God! Will, you don't make a good iron, why are you robbing the law?"

The people all understood.

At this time, Will had already put life and death aside.

Her beloved woman is about to get married, and his only friend is about to be hanged again.

He should be the one who was hanged!

Will jumped up directly and jumped onto the high gallows, "Xufeng! I'm here to save you!"

Captain Jack shouted, "And I!"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Captain, aren't you afraid of death?"

Captain Jack smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of going back or not, but why should I die if I can live?"

"Stop him!" the adjutant shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
