MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 771 [Details of Earl Payne]
To be honest, everything that can be found on the Internet is an open secret. Since it is an open secret, there is no secret at all. The really important things won't appear on the Internet, so Yang Yong just found some general information about Earl Payne.
Knowing what year he was born, knowing what year he died, and knowing that he was a general all his life, further confirms that Earl Payne played an important role in the Second Opium War in 1860. Served as a colonel battalion commander in the British Army, and was promoted to brigadier general because of his bravery and gunshot wounds.
So much information summed up seeing the copper buttons inlaid on the wooden door above the storage room, Yang Yong was more convinced of his guess. The other party has indeed been to China, and he has also served as a senior officer who was injured and received awards. There must be a secret with the blood of the Chinese on his hands. And it is still a big secret hidden in the castle on Payne Island, but now I have no clues, and I can't find more clues. It seems that it is imperative to buy this Payne Island.
After looking at the computer for a few hours, his eyes were exhausted. Yang Yong could only turn off the computer, and then went back to the restaurant in the room to boil a pot of water and brew a pot of refreshing green tea for himself. Then I picked up the phone and called room service. I asked for a piece of chocolate cake. Then I sat on the balcony and enjoyed the afternoon sun. I drank tea and ate the cake before falling asleep.
I didn't know when I slowly opened my eyes, and then I felt that my body was covered with a blanket. After opening his eyes and looking around, he saw Smith sitting beside him with a smile, drinking tea while watching, Yang Yong became lazy and said slowly.
"What time is Smith, I feel very hungry, is it time for dinner?"
Smith shook his head and said with a smile, "I really admire you, you can fall asleep on the balcony in such a strong wind, and you haven't done anything these days. Why do you look tired to me, pay attention to your body, don't worry about it. Don't catch a cold, otherwise how can I explain to our old lady hahaha, haha."
Yang Yong sat up carelessly, rubbed his eyes, lit a cigar, and said with a smile. "Dude, have I become a piece of paper in your eyes, and I have no resistance at all. I am a healthy adult male, how can I be as fragile as you think? But thank you for the blanket, or I will not Probably slept for so long."
Smith seemed to have been sitting in the chair for a long time, twisted his neck, and then sighed. "My good brother, you are finally awake, sigh, no, I'm hungry, I can eat you. Should we have dinner? If I'm hungry, I can do it myself. You know, you have to know that when I get angry, I'm afraid of myself, so be careful."
Yang Yong stood up from the reclining chair with a smiling face and a cigar, and moved his waist. "Oh, eating, eating, and not eating anything is the most important thing. My mother didn't pull my ears off when you came home hungry, Smith. What do I want to eat, it's a seafood dinner."
When you come to the Aegean Sea, what do you eat without seafood? Isn't this a well-intentioned question? Smith also stood up politely and said with a smile while pulling Yang Yong out. "Hurry up paella, lobster, I'm coming to the sea hahahaha."
While being pushed away, Yang Yong said with a smile, "It's still lobster, haven't you eaten enough lobster in Anna Castle? Although that big dragon is our old lady's pet and can't be touched. But those forty-five and a half-year-olds Rice-long lobster, you can eat it hard, you haven't eaten enough yet, I really like you."
The two brothers chatted and laughed and came to the seventh floor, found old Charlie who was on the phone in the room, and then joined a few bodyguards to the high-end restaurant. Yang Yong had enough seafood, so he ordered some favorite things, such as pan-fried foie gras with asparagus and garlic salmon.
BBQ lamb chops, and a vegetable salad is fine, while the other people are of course seafood-based. The main course is paella, and the rest is cheese board lobster, lobster balls, and a large table of various seafood delicacies.
Eating seafood is white meat, and it should be accompanied by champagne, or Huaxia liquor. Yang Yong's liquor is stored as a treasure. Even if the relationship with Smith is so good, he is allotted a portion of the liquor to Smith every month according to a certain proportion, and he has already kept it in his collection. How could it be brought to Greece? So when paired with seafood, the liquor Yang Yong reluctantly gave up, and when he saw a few guys drinking Yang Yong's depression, he turned his depression into a good meal.
A meal at the checkout cost more than 3000 US dollars, but it is worth all the seafood is the freshest alive. There will never be a problem with eating. After eating and drinking, Yang Yong suggested that he plan to go out and take a look at the night view of Greece. Although it is still being renovated, it is good to experience the majestic scenery of one of the four ancient civilizations for thousands of years.
After visiting until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, he returned to his room and lay down on the bed to rest, but Yang Yong, who had been playing for a few hours, was physically very tired, but his spirit was always excited. His curiosity about Penn Castle was always in his mind, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. When he woke up the next morning, Smith handed himself a thick file bag.
While eating breakfast, he opened the file bag, Yang Yong couldn't help but see that the contents of this file bag were the information he needed the most. Although it is a copy of the national archives of Greece, there is a lot of information provided to me. My guess is right. This Earl of Payne really participated in the Second Opium War in 1860, and he also received an award for meritorious service. Brigadier General.
After the negotiation between Britain, France and China, the Brigadier General Payne, through his family relationship, let the Royal Navy free up a warship of more than 3,000 tons for his own use. No one knew what was being transported on the battleship, only that there were many wooden boxes on the battleship, some of which were heavy and some were light.
The battleship did not return to the British home port, but turned into the Mediterranean Sea and anchored at Payne Island for three whole days. Then Commodore Payne took the battleship back to Liverpool, and then he has been serving in the British army. Every year, he will come to Payne Island to spend his vacation. It has been a habit for decades to ship to the island. In the second year of the material, Penn Castle was officially built.
According to Yang Yong's speculation, Earl Payne may have built this Payne Castle to store the treasures she returned from China. Otherwise, it is impossible to build the castle so small, and there are many rooms without traces of human habitation, is it not possible? There is a 99% chance that this castle is used by Earl Payne to collect the art that came back from the Chinese women.
As for the disappearance of the artwork now, it may be that Earl Payne knew that he was dying soon, and he did not just inherit his title. After his death, all his family property and fiefdom will be confiscated by the state. Rather than a cheap country, it is better to hide the things that he plundered from his birth and death, and give himself a happy funeral.
