A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 287 Did you also collect money?
Soon, the hearing was held as scheduled.

This time was different from the previous inquiry. In addition to the people he brought, sitting behind Arthur were also reporters from many newspapers, as well as spectators who came to listen or join in the fun.

There are many differences from previous inquiries.

For example, the chairman of the hearing, after knocking on the gavel, actually said:

"Silence, the hearing will begin next. Mr. Morgan, first of all, thank you for your attendance and cooperation."

"This is my duty as a citizen, Mr. Chairman." Arthur replied calmly.

Not the same.

Next, the hearing officially began. Although the Chairman of the Investigation Committee had a much better attitude toward Arthur, he still dutifully made the accusation:

"Mr. Morgan, based on the results of our prior inquiries and our investigation, this investigation committee believes that we have sufficient reasons and evidence to believe that you, Arthur Morgan, are the wanted gangster of the former Van der Linde Gang... "

"I object!"

Before the chairman of the investigation committee finished his speech, someone jumped out and yelled objection. He pushed his glasses and looked forward, trying to see who was disrupting the order of the hearing, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find it. The person who objected, while he was still wondering.

Next to him, a sonorous and powerful speech came again. Looking closely, the person who raised the objection was none other than Congressman Facardo McGuire?

This made the old man who was the member chairman of the investigation open his mouth. He didn't know how to react for a moment. What is this?
If you collect the money yourself, will he also collect the money?

As the chairman of the investigation committee, I filed charges on behalf of the committee members. As a result, the members of my committee jumped out to object before the charges were completed? ?

What is this!You can’t do this even if you’re paid!

But no, this scene was quite explosive, and such a wonderful scene directly caused the crowd in the audience to burst into discussion. The reporters in the front row holding flashlights and cameras did not miss the distraction. They all recorded this with their cameras and Su Jiben in their hands.

Judging from the excited expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they might have already thought about what title to use for the front page of the news when they return home.

And our congressman, Facardo McGuire, did not forget to adjust several angles in cooperation so that the reporters taking photos could record his best side.

When the flashing lights almost subsided, Councilor McGuire continued in a firm tone:

"Gentlemen! As a member of the investigation committee, I feel very ashamed..."

Good guy, this first sentence immediately caused the crowd below and other members around to start an uproar.

Arthur, who was sitting opposite, leaned on the chair with a smile on his face. He had a cigarette in his mouth. He turned his head and asked his lawyer Smith to light a fire for him. As the smoke rose, Arthur was ready. Let’s watch Congressman McGuire’s performance.

It can only be said that our Congressman McGuire really did not disappoint Arthur. After attracting enough attention and catching the curiosity of most people, he coughed lightly and continued with his professional speaking talent. said:
"Gentlemen, as we all know, Mr. Morgan is not only an industrialist who has made outstanding contributions to the economy of this region, but he is also a devout believer and a caring philanthropist. As far as I know, New Zealand The Hanover Charity Group is sponsored and run by Mr. Morgan..."

There are also a bunch of praiseworthy words summarizing what Arthur has done, so I won’t go into details here. In short, even the chairman of the investigation committee who we received money couldn’t listen to it. He was just about to stop it. McGuire's statement:
"Congressman McGuire..."

"Shut up, please don't interrupt me. What I want to say next is the most important part. Gentlemen, I am very angry. An excellent citizen like Mr. Morgan has been subjected to such inexplicable accusations. They even set up this so-called investigation committee. Not to mention that this is a waste of public resources, but that there is still unacceptable political persecution here!" At this point, McGuire directly proposed two official documents. After pouring all the cash inside the bag on the table, he shouted loudly in a tone of deep hatred:

"Look! Look what these are! These on the left are bribes paid to me by Lemieux, the mayor of Saint-Denis, and the ones on the right are actually sent by our railway tycoon and industrial magnate Leviticus Cornwall. For money, they asked me to fabricate facts out of thin air to slander Mr. Morgan as a criminal!..."

Listening to Congressman McGuire's shouts and looking at the cash stacked in front of them, everyone was in an uproar again.

The reporters had no regard for the federal marshals who were blocking them in front, and rushed directly in front of the committee members sitting in front. While frantically taking pictures of the two piles of cash, they surrounded the other committee members and McGuire and made fierce suggestions. question.

Arthur's lawyer, Smith, although he was also shocked by the farce that just happened, he is a professional lawyer after all. He has not forgotten that he is still working. He quickly stood up and shouted loudly:

"Gentlemen! Look! Look! This is a persecution against my client! A farce! What a big joke!"

Soon, some of the reporters who couldn't squeeze in at the front were successfully attracted by Smith.

In response to this, Arthur cooperated very well and pretended to be innocent, wronged, and aggrieved, and allowed the reporters to take pictures of him. However, Arthur did not answer any of the questions they raised. I have to say, There is only one sentence: 'I believe in justice. '

Unlike the din of this farce,

In the last row of the hearing, Webster sat quietly in the corner, watching this sudden change. To be honest, he did not expect that Arthur could actually play such a trick.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? He didn't wait for the investigative committee to bring out the witness, but he caused a big trouble for the committee first."

The man sitting next to Webster said with a smile.

Unlike the admiring expression on this man's face, the expression on Webster's face was not very good-looking. He just reported stiffly:

"The agent we planted with Bronte was discovered."

"I remember, you planted more than one?"

"Arthur Morgan, who refused to obey orders and insisted on killing Brontë."

"I thought you'd already dealt with that?"

"……Feel sorry."

"When you find that your dog is disobedient, then you have to reflect on whether you, the person holding the reins, have taught him well?"

Although the man's words placed all the blame on Webster, Webster did not dare to refute and just listened to the man continue:
"Normally, if the dog is just an ordinary wild dog, we won't mind changing it to another one, but when the dog is an excellent, valuable and rare breed, then we will only choose to change the person on the leash. , can you understand what I mean?"

"understood."
