Chapter 16 Check Tickets
Time to drive.

The wood gas generator supplied combustible gas, and the engine stuttered a few times before gradually accelerating.

With a "click", the driver violently shifted the gear.This old passenger car, which has been in service for more than 20 years, slowly drove out of the parking space, out of the station, and drove along the highway towards Las Vegas.

Just like yesterday, only the roads in the urban area of ​​San Francisco have undergone major repairs, because other places are not under the jurisdiction of the guard.Less than ten minutes after the car drove out, the road conditions suddenly declined.

With the "creak" sound of the frame, the bus officially drove from the San Francisco Acropolis to the field.

In fact, the imperial court attached great importance to the maintenance of official roads, but this is not an official road—the end of this road, that Las Vegas, does not exist in the books of Ming Dynasty and Rome.It was a city that rose from the ground in the desert, and it had to resist the invasion of the desert at all times to survive.

But it's also a place of lawlessness that both sides agree to, and that alone is enough.

The vehicle was driving so bumpily that Shangluo couldn't even hold the map steadily.From the map, Las Vegas is not too far from San Francisco.

"You said those Las Vegas casinos made so much money, why didn't you repair the roads here? Many tourists come to the New World to play, just for Las Vegas."

[Tourists all go by airship.Who would do a slow long-distance bus?And they don't get off at San Francisco at all, this is the guard. 】

"That's true. Gambling has been banned since the year of Hongwu. It is clearly written in the Ming Dynasty that gambling requires beheading—although it is not true now, but half a year in prison is inevitable. What about in Rome? ?”

[Gambling banned?ha?The emperor dared to bet that the racing hooligans at the racing track could smash down the gate of the palace the next day.The moon is always hanging above Constantinople, which is a good place to visit, a city that never sleeps. 】

"By the way, what's the current situation in Rome?"

【In my opinion, the situation is not very optimistic. 】Apolonia gave a negative answer,【The movements in London and Paris are getting bigger and bigger, and the Britons and Franks are becoming more and more unwilling to exist as vassal states.After all, they too could once have great civilizations, and they too could have their own modern times. 】

"Yes, that is indeed the case and here, shaping the modern Ming Dynasty and Rome—then, should I call you a Roman?"

【I'm glad you're finally starting to think of me as a Roman.It's not the grandson monkey of Xiniu Hezhou. 】

"Monkey Sun is a mirror, he can be whatever he wants to be."

[I hope I can be so comfortable, but unfortunately my burden is much heavier than the unrestrained Huaguoshan Monkey King. Look, isn't this the one who is looking for trouble? 】

"what's the situation?"

[Wait, it's just ahead. 】

"The passenger car in front, stop immediately!" The high-frequency loudspeaker shouted from behind, and the sound simply amplified by the loudspeaker created a deafening roar.The driver slammed on the brakes and was afraid that he would be shot if he stopped too slowly. They were really afraid.

Because, here is not the police.Daming's police officers will not come to this kind of wilderness to do business.

An unmarked police car drove up in front of the bus.Two men in trench coats, also red men, got out of the car, each with a law enforcement shotgun in their hands.

They had two medals of dragon and eagle hanging on their chests at the same time, which represented that they served Daming and Rome at the same time.

Pinkerton Detective Company, the largest vigilante firm in Yangzhou.Their law enforcement efforts are much stronger than those of the escort agencies in San Francisco, because the Pinkerton Detective Company only operates in Yangzhou, and the main source of revenue is the vigilante.

This income comes from the outsourcing of law enforcement.After all, neither Ming nor Rome wants to deploy law enforcement forces in the neutral zone, that would be too expensive.By outsourcing law enforcement through bounties, vigilantes like the Pinkerton Detective Company can collect a decent penny.

No one dared to refuse the interception of Pinkerton Detective Company.Because where there are vigilantes, it means that there are no real police at all.In the wilderness, it doesn't matter if you kill a few people casually, no one cares.It's the same even if there are fewer people in a car.

With a Furong cigarette in his mouth, one of the two got into the car.The smell of smoke spread in the crowded compartment, and the driver dared not reach out to open the window.He didn't dare to move at all now, because the vigilante could shatter him to pieces with a single pull of the trigger.

"In the car, is there a Cathayman?"

"Forehead"

"Is there! I warned you once, this target is very important! It was an order directly from the Cathay Army. You know Pinkerton's rules, you still have two chances. If you warn more than three times, I will shoot directly!"

"Yes! Yes!" The driver pointed backwards, pointing in the direction of Shangluo. "There is one. He bought a ticket and got on the bus."

Pinkerton's vigilantes looked over.Shangluo's face was whiter than everyone present, and it was so evenly white that there was no need for comparison.

"Oh, respected Mr. Zhentan. Oh no, Mr. from Daming." He put the gun on his shoulder, with the muzzle facing backwards, and walked over step by step.Others in the car did not dare to make a sound.

"I'm sorry to inform you that your imperial court hired Pinkerton Detective Company to 'please' you to go back. You can relax, we have Ming's craftsmen on our side, we can't hurt you under any circumstances, we can't even use Arrest you with a rope or handcuffs. But that doesn't mean we can't 'invite' you back."

Shang Luo looked out the window and didn't speak.

"Mr. from Zhendan. Oh, you don't have your hair tied up, you are a child." The vigilante took another step forward, "Your family is looking for you, please cooperate and don't cause trouble for uncle. Uncle has My uncle also has a family to support his own work. If you can't take you back, uncle will be fired."

The gun was still loaded.Although the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the sky, it takes less than a second to point forward again.

"Oh." Shang Luo sighed, took out the token from his pocket, "Look for yourself."

"This is." The vigilante stretched out his hand without the gun, ready to take the token.

With a "snap", Shang Luo shook his hand and tapped the token on his wrist:

"Take it away! Who told you to touch it? Look with your eyes!"

"Yes, yes." The vigilante clenched his gun tightly, but he didn't dare to lower the gun after all.

He leaned on the back of the chair, poked his head out to confirm——

"Jin Jin Yiwei! Master Jin Yiwei!" The handwriting on the waist tag was clear.

"Don't call me an adult! Where did you go to school? I'm not your father, and I don't have a son like you. Seeing that you are also working for the court, I won't make it difficult for you. You know the rules, right?"

"Yes, yes. Then I'll get out! Get out now! You'll never delay your important business! You won't delay!" The vigilante turned around and left. Everyone knows that Jinyiwei who doesn't wear flying fish suits is more dangerous than those who wear flying fish suits, and much more dangerous.

Didn't stay for a second.The vigilante quickly got out of the car, got into the car, kicked the accelerator and blasted away.

There was an eerie silence on the bus.

"Drive, what are you waiting for?" Shang Luo shouted to the front.

There was a flurry of tinkling and bangs, and the driver shifted into forward gear without any hesitation, but he dared not say a word.As if some kind of weapon of mass destruction sat in the back of the car.

It is literally "big killer".After all, many people have seen the flames of Jin Yiwei when he was sweeping the cave in Liting.

No one spoke in the car until we arrived in Las Vegas.
