America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 74 Planned Bankruptcy
Chen Jianqiu took the water bag from the horse and handed it to the old woman, followed by Adam and the others.

"Who are you? Why did they kidnap you."

The old woman was not in a hurry to answer their questions, nor did she take the water bag from Chen Jianqiu's hand, but looked at them.

Chen Jianqiu was not in a hurry to ask her more questions, but behind him, Adam was ready to draw his gun.

If the woman recognized them as wanted criminals, Adam was ready to draw a gun and kill them.

"Are you from other places? I haven't seen you before." The old woman spoke suddenly.

Chen Jianqiu nodded.

"Can you relax the man behind you who is about to draw his gun? I'm just a hostage who was just kidnapped." The old woman took the water bag from Chen Jianqiu's hand and took a sip.

Chen Jianqiu nodded to Adam, and Adam's drooping hand left his waist.

The woman didn't yell loudly and run around in panic as he imagined; nor did she tremble and tremble all over.

abnormal.

She turned and walked to the side of the cowboy's body, and glanced at the wound on his head:

"It's very accurate, and the marksmanship is good." She praised while drinking water, as if she was not the one who almost fell off the horse and fell half to death just now, "You are the cowboys from the nearby town."

Chen Jianqiu continued to nod: "Yes, we are here to find someone."

The old woman kicked the cowboy's body: "This is Clark's man. It seems that he still wants to attack my husband."

"Who is your husband?"

"My husband is the Sheriff of Pitkin County, Danny Romney. By the way, aren't you looking for someone? He should be able to help you."

Thinking of her husband, a girlish smile suddenly appeared on the old woman's face, and then the smile disappeared in a flash and turned into panic.

From just now to now, he was kidnapped, fell off his horse, and faced four unknown gunmen, one of whom was even ready to shoot.

She didn't even show a trace of panic.

"Oops, my husband must be worried about me now." The old woman handed the water back to Chen Jianqiu, "Can you please send me back? I can ask my husband to find someone for you."

"My name is Teresa." The old woman told Chen Jianqiu her name.

Xiao En and Asuka looked at Chen Jianqiu.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for several wanted criminals to ask the police officer to help them find someone. Moreover, according to Clark, the police officer seems to be as jealous as Fultz.

"Get on the horse, we have to be gentlemen, we can't leave the lady alone in the western wilderness." Chen Jianqiu got on the horse first, and motioned for Sean to help the old woman Teresa up.

Listening to Chen Jianqiu's mouthful of nonsense, Adam rolled his eyes.

"Ms. Teresa, I heard that your husband wants to bring Clark to justice. Could it be related to this?" Chen Jianqiu asked the old woman behind him while driving the horse.

"How is it possible. My husband is an honest man, and his police officer is just a puppet. I still don't understand why he took this job. Although it is difficult for us, it is not enough to judge people's faces." Teresa sighed.

"The Phelps family and the Lackerfield gang have been playing games. The former sheriff belonged to Clark, but he died unexpectedly. The two sides exchanged fire. The county magistrate mediated and finally chose my husband. He seemed to have nothing to do with both sides. .”

Chen Jianqiu has roughly understood what happened.

He stopped talking, and concentrated on leading Teresa in the direction of Pitkin County.

……

Sheriff Danny stood at the door of Larkfield Farm.

Unlike the cold reception at Phelps' manor, the farm is brightly lit at the moment.It wasn't enough just to hang piles of kerosene lamps for lighting. The gang cowboys lit torches and lit the farm like daylight.

Clark was hurried out of the granary without his coat on.

He spit out the cigarette he was chewing in one gulp, and rushed to the gate.

"Ouch! It's Sheriff Danny! My honorable guest! What brought you here?" Clark trotted, spreading his arms, trying to give the sheriff a warm hug.

The sheriff ducked.

Clark held the air.But he didn't seem embarrassed at all, and looked left and right at the cowboy guarding the door: "Why did you stop Sheriff Clark outside? Are you all blind? Didn't I say that as long as the sheriff wants to, you can do it at any time." You can come and visit!"

The cowboys at the door were dumbfounded. They couldn't remember when their boss had said such a thing.

"My wife was kidnapped, did you do it?" Sergeant Danny said blankly.

Clark looked in disbelief: "Why do you think so, who would dare to kidnap your wife?"

"You can check as you please!" Clark swore, "I don't have any reason to kidnap your wife!"

"I'm a businessman now, and I don't like to fight and kill. I lost a lot of 'dollars' in the previous battles." He pointed to the cowboys around, "These people are just to maintain order , you know, in the West, you can't do business without someone to keep order."

"Did I do anything outrageous in your jurisdiction this year?"

Sergeant Danny stared at Clark, who was spitting, trying to find some answers from his face, but as an honest person, it was difficult for him to find loopholes in Clark's words.

"However, there is one sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Clark showed hesitation.

"You said."

"Don't forget how the last sheriff died." Clark said grimly, "I heard that they are in contact with some killers or desperadoes recently."

Danny was lost in thought.

"Please this way, I will take you to my farm to have a look. If there is anything wrong, you can send me to the gallows immediately." Clark made a "please" gesture.

"No, I have to find my wife." Danny shook his head.

Clark thought for a while, and snapped his fingers: "Well, I'll send a few brothers to go look for it with you, and then I'll send a few people to inquire around the area. Do you think it's okay?"

"Thank you, please keep an eye on it for me, and tell me immediately if you have any news." Sergeant Danny got on his horse and left the farm with a few police officers.

Looking at the back of Sergeant Danny going away, the smile on Clark's face disappeared like a stone sinking into the water.

He waved to the people behind him.

"Have all the people who went out come back?" He asked in a low voice.

No one dared to answer for a while behind him, Clark turned around with a terrifying expression on his face.

Finally, a person who usually walked closest to him came up and whispered:

"The people who went to the market town, there is no news; those who rushed to Pitkin to pretend to be the wanted criminals, judging from the sheriff's reaction, they should have succeeded, but for some reason, they haven't come back yet; A few bounty hunters came back early, but they didn't seem to catch up."

The scene was terribly quiet, and none of the cowboys dared to breathe.

"Snapped!"

Clark kicked the fence at the gate of the farm, and a section of the fence was kicked into pieces. He roared angrily:
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash, and you, I spent so much money to support you, do you always pretend to be shit in your mind? Or are you all disabled?!"

He took out a piece of paper from his arms, waved it in front of his men and shouted: "Do you know what this is? I have prepared the evidence of Phelps' collusion with those wanted criminals. You know that damned How much did the judge ask me? Ah?! Ah?!"

"You pigs! Trash! Garbage!"

A section of the fence couldn't bear Clark's anger, and was kicked to pieces.

The group of people behind him trembled, and no one dared to remind him that this was still at the gate of the farm. Although no one else was present, this behavior was like a loud conspiracy.

After the No.11 fence was broken, Clark realized his gaffe, and he calmed down.

He looked behind the cowboy who answered him just now: "How is Fultz going?"

The cowboy didn't dare to breathe, and replied cautiously: "The telegram over there has reached the town, saying that it has already set off and should arrive soon."

Clark gathered his clothes together, and snorted coldly:
"Let's just get straight to the point."
