America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 228 The Captain Who Sells Information
A group of people returned to Albuquerque, and they came to the door of a hotel in the city.

Chen Jianqiu found that the blond boy was still following them.

"What's the matter? Peter Pan? Is there anything else?" He turned his head and glanced at the young man.

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Are you going to fight the gang of 'Knights' tomorrow? I hope I can help."

Chen Jianqiu looked him up and down.

This young man was about the same age as him, only in his twenties, but he exuded a youthful spirit all over his body.

However, Chen Jianqiu generally would not choose to act with people of unknown origin, because this would make the action full of uncertainty.

"Thank you, but I think our goals may be different." Chen Jianqiu politely declined.

The blond boy's face was a little disappointed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Then, I wish you good luck." He extended his hand to Chen Jianqiu.

"I wish you good luck too." Chen Jianqiu shook his hand.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Jianqiu came out of the room fully dressed.

He saw the bartender who was cleaning the bar, so he stepped forward and slapped a fifty-cent coin on the bar.

As soon as the bartender turned his head and saw the coin, he immediately turned to Chen Jianqiu with a smile: "Is there anything I can do for you, sir."

"Do you know where Albuquerque is the most well-informed about the gang?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

The bartender looked Chen Jianqiu up and down.

Although he was very curious about why this yellow-skinned man asked about this, he still told Chen Jianqiu: "At the west pier of the city, beside the Rio Grande, there is a small wooden house, and there is a Mexican named Gonzalez inside."

"If you find him, you will know what you want to know." After the bar finished speaking, he reached out to get the coin, but Chen Jianqiu flicked his finger, and the coin popped into his hand.

Just when he was about to raise his head to express his thanks, he found that Chen Jianqiu had already walked out of the hotel gate.

The Rio Grande passes through the city, and the navigation on the river is not dead, but it is by no means lively. There are only a few small boats going back and forth on the river.

And at the pier in the west of the city, Chen Jianqiu saw a small wooden house as expected.

Next to the wooden house, a bearded Mexican was packing things on the pier.

"Are you Gonzalez?" Chen Jianqiu walked up to the Mexican and asked directly.

"What's wrong?" the Mexican looked at Chen Jianqiu lazily.

Chen Jianqiu reached into his clothes, and when his hands came out of the clothes, there was an extra one-dollar bill on it.

"If so, I would like to ask you for some information for a fee," he said.

Gonzalez didn't seem surprised at all. He took the dollar from Chen Jianqiu's hand and said, "What information, you can ask."

"Do you have any news about the gathering organized by the Grange Farmers Mutual Aid Association this afternoon?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"Those gangsters wanted to go to Blake's construction site in the form of protest, and hinder the continued laying of the railway, so as to obtain the capital to negotiate with Blake." Gonzalez said casually, "His vice president had a drink last night. told me when."

"Protest? Hold a sign and go downstairs to Blake's office?" Chen Jianqiu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know about this, but I can tell you that Blake will take his armed guards to the construction site tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Gonzalez stretched out his hand to Chen Jianqiu, "This is the second , an additional fee is required.”

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "This one is worthless, and it is impossible for me to tie him up. His armed guards have about twenty people."

"Aha!" Gonzales glanced at Chen Jianqiu, "I roughly understand what you are going to do."

"I have a lot of treasures here, and you will definitely need them." Gonzales looked a little excited, and he motioned for Chen Jianqiu to follow him into the hut, "The price is affordable, and there is nothing wrong with anyone."

Chen Jianqiu looked around and followed him into the hut.

Gonzales lifted his own bed board, and took out one wooden box after another from it.

He found a crowbar from behind the door and pried open two of the boxes.

A bundle, a bundle of explosives.

"You usually sleep on the dynamite?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Gonzales, "I want these."

The bearded man chuckled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and one of the middle front teeth was missing.

"I can also tell you another news. Bourne's "Knights" will come to disrupt the situation tomorrow. This group of people is targeting those Chinese laborers. Bourne's men have nearly a hundred people."

Gonzalez observed Chen Jianqiu's reaction, but found nothing. His expression was extremely calm.

"Where is the construction site?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"The railroad runs down the Rio Grande, and the site is right on the bank."

"If you are willing to pay, I can help you contact some gangs around, but I don't know if anyone is willing to take the job." Gonzalez is still trying to get a job, "If you have money, I can help you with anything Got it."

Chen Jianqiu ignored him, but walked out of the hut, stood on the pier and looked around.

He dare not be interested in those rabble.

His eyes stopped on something that looked more reliable.

In the afternoon, everyone was sitting in the corner of the hotel lobby wiping the parts of their guns, but they saw Chen Jianqiu walking in from the hotel gate carrying a large bag.

He walked to the edge of everyone's table and began to take things out of the bag one by one.

Dynamite, Molotov cocktails, poisoned hatchets...

"Boss, where did you get these things?" Hanif stared at him dumbfounded.

"You need to know what 'Land Outside the Law' is." Chen Jianqiu distributed things to everyone, "As long as you can think of it, you can buy it here."

"Boss, we seem to be late." Sean pointed to the door of the hotel.

Suddenly, from outside the hotel, in the direction of the square, bursts of slogans came.

Then, the sound gradually weakened as the distance became farther away.

"When did I say I was going to attend their rally?" Chen Jianqiu tilted his head and looked at Xiao En.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Jianqiu seemed unhurried, continuing to disassemble his revolver there.

After a while, Chen Jianqiu finally stood up.

"Everyone is ready? Bring dry food and get ready to go." Chen Jianqiu looked around the crowd and said.

Everyone packed their things and went out of the hotel gate. They got on their horses and followed behind Chen Jianqiu.

What they didn't expect was that Chen Jianqiu didn't take them out of the city, but came directly to a pier on the bank of the Rio Grande.

A small steamer was moored by the pier.

"Get off the horse, get on the boat, what are you all doing?" Chen Jianqiu boarded the boat first, and gave the Mexican captain a high-five.

"I'll be good, boss, where did you get this?" Sean was amazed.

"It's rented." Chen Jianqiu leaned against the side of the boat, "Bring all your guns, the bullets are here."

After everyone boarded the boat, accompanied by a sharp sound of the steam whistle, the boat started to move.

The boat went down the Rio Grande, and the scenery on both sides of the river was also unobstructed.

And they soon heard bursts of slogans, uploaded from the river bank.

Correspondingly, everyone could gradually see clearly the outfits of the Grange members and the signs they were holding.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked towards the parade.

He didn't find the members of the "Knights" dressed up. They either didn't come yet, or they changed into ordinary clothes and hid themselves in the parade crowd.

The ship kept a certain distance from the river bank, and Chen Jianqiu asked Gonzalez to slow down the speed of the ship.

Because, the construction site of the railway is not far ahead.
