America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 242 Repayment of Debt, Justifiably
The next day, at the entrance of the town in Lincolnshire, a group of men in black riding horses suddenly appeared.

Some people are not familiar with their attire, but some people know it.

A few days ago, they had met these people at the town's exchange, and they got arrears that day that they had never even imagined before.

They stood on the side of the road, took off their hats, and saluted the team.

Chen Jianqiu, who was at the front of the line, also greeted these people.

This led to those left who didn't know each other, and some started to follow suit.

Lincolnshire, which was originally indifferent to people, suddenly became happy and full of civilized atmosphere.

Chen Jianqiu continued to move forward with the team.

They came to the Santa Cruz Gang today to ask for a bill.

Before leaving, Dylan's lawyer reminded him whether he should call Sergeant Paile. After all, this is in his jurisdiction.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand.

Now Pile, I am afraid that he will not come out with him even if he says anything.

The way they find the Santa Cruz gang is also very simple.

At the edge of the town, find a secluded alley.

It doesn't matter if you squat there alone and smoke or thumbs up, it's better to count money.

Soon three or two sloppy men will come and surround you, kick you down and kick you for a while, and then strip you of your valuables.

It is Sean who is in charge of doing this today.

No matter in terms of body shape or skin color, he is the best candidate.

In the end, the two men who came around were also knocked down to the ground as they wished, and were pointed at the head by a gun.

"Take us to your stronghold, I have something to ask your boss." Chen Jianqiu looked at the three people with a smile.

Hanif tied the hands of these two people with a rope and strung them together into a thread, with the other end of the rope in his hand.

Hanif rode on a horse and led them like a dog, giving them directions.

If they dare to act rashly, the former bounty hunter only needs to kick the horse's belly, and these two people are waiting to be dragged to death on the ground.

Ten minutes later, the two brought Chen Jianqiu and the others to an abandoned chapel near the town.

"Your boss has a unique vision for choosing a stronghold?" Chen Jianqiu curled his lips.

"He used to be a priest, a Mexican priest, sir," said the congregation, staggered by Hanif.

"Hey, Mustache, that man is still a heretic." Abiot gloated at Hanif.

"Strictly speaking, so do you." Hanif gave Abiot a vicious look.

The main entrance of this abandoned church is in the front, and a yard is behind it.

Chen Jianqiu found that there were many horses tied to the back of the yard, where the back door was.

He seemed to have discovered something, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"It looks like it's quite lively today."

When he reached the main entrance, Chen Jianqiu was not polite, he didn't even intend to knock on the door, he just raised his foot, and kicked the door open with a "bang".

There is no one outside, but inside, it is full of people.

The small auditorium of the church has been transformed by the Santa Cruz gang into a "multifunctional hall" integrating eating, entertainment, and sleeping.

Except for those who are still engaged in "business work" outside, most of the others are here.

Some of them were playing cards, some were bragging about it, and one of them probably just came back and had no time to eat, and was gnawing on a cooked ox head.

While Chen Jianqiu kicked the door open, the group of people all raised their heads in unison, looking in the direction of the door.

Someone is here to mess things up.

A man by the window reached out to touch the gun, but before his hand touched the gun, he was shot to bloody blood.

"Who moves, hits whom, where moves, where to hit." Abiot's voice was cold, colder than his voice, was the metallic luster on the black gun barrel.

Chen Jianqiu took off his gloves and looked around. From the expressions of these people, it was clear that their leader was not here.

"I'm here to collect the bill today, please inform your leader," he said.

The members of the gang looked at each other, and finally the person closest to the exit of the auditorium said to Chen Jianqiu: "Boss is behind, there are guests coming today, and they are drinking."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the direction of the yard.

From the looks of it, there was no need to give special notice, the sound of gunfire in the auditorium alarmed the back, and the Lord should be here soon.

Sure enough, a Mexican in a brown cloak and cowboy attire appeared at the door leading to the yard from the auditorium.

He has a Mexican face, looks very ordinary, has no memory, and looks about thirty years old.

Chen Jianqiu really couldn't connect him with the priest.

"Who told you to shoot in your own camp? Are you so brave?" The man walked in cursing, but when he saw Chen Jianqiu and a dozen men in black beside him, he immediately shut up.

"Who are you? Why did you hurt my people?" The man frowned, looking at his bloody hand, he questioned Chen Jianqiu.

"Are you Jose Santa Cruz?" Chen Jianqiu slowly took out the loan contract from his clothes, "I'll collect Leonard's bill."

"Why didn't he come himself?" Santa Cruz asked knowingly.

"He died, and I bought all his accounts receivable." Chen Jianqiu's voice was still calm, "You borrowed him four hundred dollars from him at first, and I calculated according to the interest on the contract. So far, You will give me a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty-four dollars."

The interest on the contract was outrageous. Obviously, when Santa Cruz borrowed it, he had no intention of paying it back.

"Joke, what bought the accounts receivable? I don't understand. I owe Leonard money, and of course I will pay him back. If he wants it, let him ask for it himself." Santa Cruz played a rogue .

"Then shall I send you to meet him? Then you can talk about the debts?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Santa Cruz with a smile, but his eyes were full of fear.

Santa Cruz was shivering, but soon returned to normal.

I don't have as many people as them, and the group in front of me hurts people if they take a shot, which is not a good thing.

However, he wasn't worried at all.

"Are you threatening me?" Santa Cruz asked, staring at Chen Jianqiu not to be outdone.

"Yes." Chen Jianqiu nodded.

"Do you know who is in the backyard? Before asking me to collect the bill, you didn't ask carefully. Who gave you the courage?" Santa Cruz looked extremely arrogant.

"I haven't inquired about it." Chen Jianqiu told the truth, he really didn't find out the origin of the Santa Cruz Gang.

"That's my brother! Did you know? My brother is in the backyard!"

This is the confidence of Santa Cruz.

Together with those people in the backyard, it is enough to fight against the dozen or so people in front of you.

"Oh, then invite him over, maybe I will give him face." Chen Jianqiu ignored him, turned to look at the mural on the wall at the entrance.

"Just wait and regret it." Santa Cruz turned and walked into the yard.

After a while, another Mexican and Santa Cruz appeared at the door of the auditorium.

"Let me see who dares to come to you to collect debts." The Mexican shook his cloak and walked into the auditorium.

He looked at the men in black standing in the auditorium, and suddenly felt familiar, especially the one in the middle with his back turned to him.

And when that person turned around, he suddenly felt like his soul was shelling out.

The man smiled at him and said:

"Yo, Thiago, we meet again."

Chen Jianqiu pointed to Santa Cruz next to Tiago: "The new recruit?"

Thiago glanced at the scene quickly, estimated the strength comparison in his heart, and then looked at Santa Cruz's injured hand, and he came up with the answer in five seconds.

"Not familiar, not familiar with him."

Every time he met Chen Jianqiu, he would peel off a layer of skin.

When Chen Jianqiu had a few people before, he couldn't beat him, not to mention there are more than ten people around him now!

After all, Thiago was about to turn around and run away.

"Hey, brother! Don't go!" Santa Cruz was a little confused, but he grabbed Tiago's arm for the first time, but was thrown away by the latter.

"Hey, don't pull me. I'm not familiar with you. I'm just passing by." Thiago looked eager to get away.

"They asked you to stay, so you stay." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, but the smile looked like Satan's smile to Thiago.

He has seen this person kill all his subordinates while talking and laughing.

"Senior, please, what can I do?" Thiago asked Chen Jianqiu, ignoring Santa Cruz at all.

"This person owes me some money." Chen Jianqiu pointed to Santa Cruz.

"Hurry up and hand over the money." Thiago turned to Santa Cruz, "It's only natural to pay off the debt."

The poor priest didn't understand what was going on, and subconsciously shook his head.

Thiago whistled, and a group of people rushed over from the backyard, all with guns in their hands.

"Tie it up!" he ordered.

Thiago's robbers were very professional in their robbery skills. They tied up Santa Cruz and his men after three times and five divisions.

"Senior, don't worry, I have more than ten ways to make him spit out the money." Thiago said to Chen Jianqiu.

At this time, three people suddenly rushed into the door of the auditorium.

The one in the lead didn't see the "colleagues" who were tied up inside at first glance, but saw Sean standing at the door.

"You thief! Return the money you stole from me yesterday!"

After all, he was ready to draw his gun and shoot.

However, Hanif, who was beside Sean, quickly disarmed him.

These three people were also tied up and thrown into the auditorium.

"I only need my share, and the rest will be distributed to the residents who have been looted by them, and you can take the rest yourself." Chen Jianqiu said to Tiago.

"To those residents in your name, senior?" Tiago asked tentatively.

"No, with your own." Chen Jianqiu said, "At critical times, this may save your life."

Although Thiago was a little puzzled, he nodded.

"Then how do we deal with these people?" He pointed to the bound Santa Cruz gang.

"Except for these three people, the others were tied up, gagged, and thrown at the gate of the security station in the middle of the night."

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the three people who attacked Xiao En and scratched Elise's face at the same time.

"As for these three people, I hope to see their bodies by the river outside the town tomorrow morning."

He's not as judgmental as Payler.

Scratch that woman's face, perhaps not death.

But for my own future farm, there must be a good operating environment.

These three people, let's become the flower fertilizer of the roadside wildflowers in Lincolnshire.
