America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 233 About Parents and Justice

At this moment, he was distraught.

Although this city is known as a "land outside the law", it is only because the law enforcement group controlled by Scott and the group behind him turned a blind eye to some cases involving civilians.

But it doesn't mean that dozens of people died outside the city and left alone.

The news quickly reached the city, and the city government was so shocked that they called on the state militia stationed nearby.

A team of militiamen and police soon arrived at the scene of the crime.

They found that near the railway tracks, corpses were lying in disorder:
There were the members of the Grange—those small farmers in the neighborhood; there were the Santa Fe Railroad security guards and Chinese laborers;

But the identities of these people were quickly exposed. They belonged to an unofficial organization called "Knights of Albuquerque".

Other members of the group were caught by law enforcement forces as they ran for their lives.

According to their identification, the leader of the organization, a man named Bourne, had died at the scene.

During their interrogation, law enforcement officers learned that the Santa Fe company had a security team so strong that they even used Gatling to shoot.

As for what they said, a member of the security forces killed [-] people in an instant, and ran so fast that the bullets could not hit them. The law enforcement officers only regarded them as shadows and hallucinations formed after being swept by Gatling.

Blake was also "closely protected" by law enforcement officers. His security captain was taken away, and the entire company compound was also brought under control.

Someone needs to take responsibility for this egregious incident.

Scott, who was far away in Santa Fe, was silent at this time.

From Albuquerque to Santa Fe, rumors abounded that the so-called "Knight Order" had an inexplicable relationship with him and the "Santa Fe Group".

Scott stayed in his office, eager to dig the dead Bourne out of the earth and shoot him again.

His request to Bourne is to use his appeal among racists to win votes for himself,

But he never thought that this person would threaten Blake, let alone that he would be so crazy that he would openly try to create a massacre around Albuquerque.

This guy deserved his own life, but now it's the worst thing to cause him to be in trouble.

Around, there is really no one who can be used.

He rang the bell on the table.

The secretary ran in from the door and stood beside him respectfully, listening to his orders.

"Get ready to get off the carriage, I'll go to the newspaper office."

Scott sighed.

……

Albuquerque, west of town, by the pier.

Chen Jianqiu took a bag from the back of the black radish, then took out a small gold bar from the bag, and threw it into Gonzalez's hand.

"Final payment."

The Mexican captain took the gold bar, stroked it in his hands, held it up to the sun, put it in his pocket, and smiled happily.

"If you have anything to do next time you come to Albuquerque, you can still find me." Gonzalez said, "As long as you have money, I can help you with almost everything in this place."

"Then help me get a few more carriages." Chen Jianqiu turned around and saw the Chinese laborers all looking at him.

He walked up to Luo Yonggui and took off the triangular scarf on his face.

Under the triangular scarf, a young, yellow-skinned face was revealed.

There was an instant burst of cheers among the Chinese workers.

Although they had heard this man speak Chinese before, they still couldn't believe it without seeing his face.

In this country, there is really a compatriot who will bring people to save them.

"What are your plans for the future?" Chen Jianqiu asked Luo Yonggui.

"We will follow you." Luo Yonggui said firmly.

"How many of you came to the United States to make some money and then go back?" Chen Jianqiu looked around them and said something that sounded irrelevant.

Everyone looked at each other.

In fact, most of them were tricked into being piggies.

Because I heard that gold is everywhere here, because I heard that there are thousands of miles of fertile fields here.

"I, we can't go back." The goatee old man's face was full of oldness, and he sighed, "The family is ruined."

"This is not heaven." Chen Jianqiu stared at him, "If you are willing to follow me, I hope you can give up your fantasy in the future."

"Everyone around you will be your family, treat them well."

"Hold your heads up, straighten your backs, and get back your dignity."

Some of the Chinese workers understood, some half understood, and most of them were at a loss.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything more.

Regardless of their reaction, it won't be long before these people get it.

"What about you?" He turned to the blond boy, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The blond boy just got off the boat, his arm was bandaged, and he was standing behind Chen Jianqiu, hesitating for a while, as if he was about to say something to Chen Jianqiu.

On the boat just now, he learned that his father and mother are now with Chen Jianqiu.

Therefore, when Chen Jianqiu took the initiative to call him, the young man was startled: "Well, my name is Holly Romney."

"Come with us." Chen Jianqiu tilted his head at him with a cigarette in his mouth, "Your parents miss you very much."

Holly hesitated, he wanted to follow these people, but he didn't know how to face his father.

Seeing Huo Li's expression, Chen Jianqiu waved to the others, signaling them to prepare for their departure.

And he put Holly's shoulders on his shoulders and took him aside to a deserted place on the pier.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jianqiu asked him.

"Since I can remember, my parents have been leading me to escape from hunting." Holly looked at Chen Jianqiu and said, "He used to be a brave man, and he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes."

"In my memory, he and his mother have been fighting against those evil people and helping the weak. At that time, he was the person I admired the most."

"It wasn't until we got to Pitkin and we made our home there that my father was never seen again."

Holly's eyes looked extremely sad.

"He knew exactly what the Phelps family was. He was doing things for them, or turning a blind eye to evil."

"My god was gone from that moment on, and Pitkin's life was over at a glance, and it disappointed me so much."

"So, I left Pitkin and came to New Mexico with a couple of young guys from my town."

"In the past few years, I have been fighting those villains, fighting hyena gangs, and fighting train robbers, just to prove to my father that justice! Is indelible."

Holly's eyes started to flash again, like a flame.

"Is that why you disappeared?" Chen Jianqiu laughed.

Holly froze for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, those young people who came out together wanted to go back, so I acted alone."

Chen Jianqiu glanced at this young man who was actually about his own age, and then turned to look at the Rio Grande.

Escorted by the security captain, Blake returned to Albuquerque.

"I don't know who my parents are, or in other words, since I can remember, they have not been by my side, whether they are dead or alive, I don't know."

Chen Jianqiu squatted down, picked up a stone from his side, and threw it towards the Rio Grande.

The stone fell into the river with a "boom", splashing a splash of water, but it disappeared quickly.

The Rio Grande was still flowing quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.

Chen Jianqiu was an orphan no matter before or after time-traveling. He used to envy those children of the same age who could snuggle up in the arms of their parents.

"Your parents love you very much." Chen Jianqiu stood up and patted Holly on the shoulder, "Justice is always there. He will always watch you on the way you come, just like your parents."

He brushed past Holly and walked back into the crowd.
