"Can't you give them a wash?" Rock couldn't help but complain. It was so dirty and smelly, and he didn't know how the prison guards could stand it.
"It's not necessary. Death is inevitable in life. If you don't take them away, they may not have a chance to get out of prison on their own." Fred Sinclair was used to it. The British had no patience with the Boers who had made no mistakes.
Needless to say, these Boers committed crimes.
Rock is going crazy. How is the philosophical saying "all life is inevitable" used?
Perhaps hearing that Rock might take them away, the four prisoners who were originally like puppets looked at Rock almost at the same time, their eyes full of pleading, but they still did not dare to speak.
Rock sighed and was not in the mood to preach to Fred Sinclair: "I have something I need you to help me with. If you can do it, then you don't have to serve a sentence here and you can get it from me.
Reward, now, tell me your decision."
The four prisoners looked at each other, then looked at Fred Sinclair next to them with fearful eyes, but still did not dare to speak.
"I'm sorry, Chief, I need to communicate with them alone next." Rock said, Fred Sinclair has too much power in front of these prisoners. With Fred Sinclair here, these prisoners are not
Dare to take a stand.
"Okay, just call me if you need anything." Fred Sinclair was a little disappointed, but he didn't pry. Knowing too much may not be a good thing.
Who says foreigners are ignorant!
"Yes, I do."
"Sir, I would do anything for you."
"Sir, I don't want rewards. As long as you can take me away, I swear allegiance."
Fred Sinclair had just disappeared, and the four prisoners immediately rushed to express their opinions. Only one of them did not speak, but looking at his eager eyes, it was clear that he was absolutely committed.
"Sir, Zach's tongue was cut out by the guards just because he was talking in his sleep. He is a good man." A prisoner helped explain. Next to Zach, he opened his mouth. Sure enough, there was no tongue.
Just because he was talking in his sleep, his tongue had to be cut off. Rock's first reaction was not pity, but he actually felt that he could save a lot of money!
this--
It can only be said that Rock has integrated into this era too quickly.
"Okay, now that you are in jail, don't say you are a good person. Now, go to the faucet over there and clean up your own hygiene. I will only give you five minutes. After five minutes, if anyone's hygiene condition is not up to
My request, then I won't give him a second chance." Rock didn't talk nonsense, let's take the person away quickly, Rock didn't want to stay here for a minute, this is hell on earth.
Almost as soon as Rock finished speaking, the four prisoners quickly rushed to the faucet and rubbed their bodies desperately.
Rock ignored them, asked Fred Sinclair for some clothes, and then checked his watch in the yard.
Yes, that pocket watch worth two pounds is now worn openly on Roark's chest. When he was a patrolman, Roark did not need to wear a pocket watch. When he became a captain, it was necessary. He still had to have the proper style, Roark.
Gram even ordered two suits, including tuxedos, from the best tailor in Cape Town last night, each worth nine pounds and fifteen shillings.
The suit included: a silk top hat worth six shillings, a tie worth three shillings, a silver-inlaid cane worth eight shillings, a shirt worth three shillings and fivepence, two pairs of leather boots worth ten shillings,
and a suit priced at eight pounds, including trousers, vest, and tuxedo.
Four minutes and thirty seconds later, as soon as Rock finished saying "the last thirty seconds," the four prisoners knelt down in front of Rock, doing the same thing as before.
They are really neat and tidy. Although they are not wearing clothes, they are not covering up. This is probably their standard posture, which has been deeply rooted in their bones.
"Put on your clothes and follow me." Rock didn't waste any time, and he didn't forget to thank Fred Sinclair, and left a box of cigars purchased from Cape Town.
Although Fred Sinclair's behavior makes Rock look down upon him, he still needs to be thanked and be polite. A box of cigars is only one pound. Rock was reluctant to buy it before. Rock just now
I bought ten boxes at once on the pier.
Walking out of the prison door, the four prisoners automatically lined up and followed Rock. They waved to the guards on the tower. In exchange for a laugh and a curse, Rock left Robben Island without looking back. If nothing else happened, Rock would
I will never come back again in my life.
Back in Cape Town, Rock did not rush back to the police station, but took the four prisoners to the patrol lounge on the dock.
The patrol lounge is actually a forfeited house. The previous owner was a Boer who was shot for committing a crime and the house was confiscated. The patrolmen would sometimes take a short break here during their work breaks, but usually no one would come.
, the patrol officers prefer to sit in an outdoor bar.
"I brought you out to investigate the rioters among the Boers. You can choose whether you are willing or not. If you are willing to work for me, then I will pay you appropriate remuneration. If you are not willing to work, then I will
I will send you back to Robben Island. Let me declare in advance. Don’t think about cheating or escaping. You all have family in Cape Town. I won’t send people to keep an eye on you, but I will send people to keep an eye on you.
Family, if I am dissatisfied with you, or if you dare to escape, then you and your family will be thrown to Robben Island to serve your sentence. I will do what I say." Rock used coercion and inducement, believing that these prisoners would make the right choice.
.
"I accept."
"I am willing, I am willing to work for you, sir."
"I'm going to investigate right away. I know those people who may be rioters."
The four prisoners immediately expressed their stance, and Zack, who could not speak, also nodded desperately. Fred Sinclair was right. If Rock did not take them away, they might not be able to serve the remaining sentences and leave Robben Island alive.
Compared with life, nothing else is important.
"I want their names as quickly as possible. Every time you provide an important piece of information, I will pay you a pound. If you get the information, come here to find me. If I am not there, wait for me nearby. Remember, I
Call Locke, you each take a pound first and leave. This is my deposit. Don't let me down." Locke decides quickly. In fact, the best way is to take things slowly. If you act too hastily, the informant may be exposed.
They are in danger, but Rock doesn't have much time and can only cut through the mess quickly.
To be honest, Rock didn't know if they would escape after taking the money. Rock didn't have enough manpower to keep an eye on their families, so Rock was taking risks. In addition to these prisoners, Rock had to think of other ways.
