A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 371 The Sound of Rain
"The storm is coming. Listen carefully, Father."

After hearing this, Luo Yu just continued to sit there pounding herbs with a stone mortar, maintaining his silence.

As for Luo Yu's attitude of neither supporting nor stopping, Fei Ying's face was not only indignant, but also dissatisfied with his father and the tribal chief for being so weak and ignorant. He continued:
"Whether you agree or not, I will take the tribesmen who are willing to fight with me to the end to regain what belongs to us."

After saying these words, Luoyu left the tent.

An old man next to Luo Yu sighed softly and said:
"Flying Eagle looks so much like you when you were young."

"Then you should know that in the end, he will just return without success like I did back then, and the current Feiying may even lose his life." Luo Yu said in a low voice.

The old man stared at the falling rain, feeling the smell of the wind blowing in from outside the tent and the moisture in the air.

"You should tell him this."

"I couldn't listen back then." Luo Yu stopped making medicine, raised his head, and continued:

"So I know that the current Feiying will not listen either. The young people in the tribe support him and he will not give in."

The old man knew what Luo Yu said was right, but he still wanted to do something before tragedy happened.

"That foreigner who has good intentions towards us, we need his help."

"Sometimes, we can ask for help from others, but at the most critical moment, no one can help us, and we can only rely on ourselves."

……

Joseph in Washington received two messages.

One was a telegram from Secretary Snyder who stayed in New York, and the other was a message from Roque Corrado of the Bureau of Investigation through the Pinkerton channel.

"Sir, your expression doesn't look good?" Maria Pal, as Joseph's secretary, could tell at a glance that something was not right about Joseph.

"Jacob, he disappoints me so much."

Joseph handed Pal the message he had read through Pinkerton.

As Joseph's most trusted assistant, Parr knew exactly what kind of high hopes Joseph had placed on Jacob.

After all, if it hadn't been for the successive deaths of the management of Pinkerton's Western Branch, Joseph would not have been able to directly cut off the behemoth Western Branch of Pinkerton Detective Agency with this simple parachute leadership method.

"He screwed up and got his own people in it."

Joseph picked up a cigar from the table irritably, and then he couldn't find the cigar cutter, which managed to make him even more irritated.

In the end, Parr brought him a spare one.

After reading Corrado's report, Pal said in disbelief:

"Obviously, Mr. Spencer screwed up, but is it a little outrageous for a federal officer to be arrested by a local sheriff on a murder charge?"

"It's really outrageous, but in the west, it is reasonable if it happens. Maria, you have to know that the concept of federation is actually not binding in the eyes of some states, and local states have their own powers. The western part of the country is particularly serious, the law is trampled, and lynching is still abused." While smoking a cigar, Jacob explained to his assistant who had never set foot in the west.

Parr did not continue on this topic, but skipped and asked:

"Then do you need me to contact the governor of Lemoyne State to get Joseph out first?"

"Well, let's do this." Joseph, who was leaning back on the sofa, looked very tired. After rubbing his forehead for a while, he told another news: "Forman was murdered."

Pal thought for a moment and asked:

"Cosey Forman, the New York banker?"

"Yes, he was found dead at home, and his servants and cooks were locked up in the cellar and made adamant that they knew nothing."

In this regard, neither Pal nor Joseph were surprised by the lack of cooperation of these servants.

"What did the mayor of New York and the chief of police say?" Parr asked.

This person who died was not a small person, and they should give an explanation.

"Hehe, what can that trash mayor and bureau chief say? Snyder told me that those bankers are eager to see me..." Joseph said solemnly.

"They...they think it was done by Arthur Morgan?"

Parr knew that Joseph had transferred Arthur Morgan's money from these banks.

Now, those bankers are eager to see Joseph, obviously acquiescing that this is Arthur Morgan's revenge.

"It doesn't matter what they think, the important thing is what we want to do, so do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

"My idea is very simple. I think Arthur Morgan is a bit too big to lose. Sir, do you think he will be an obstacle to you?"

Haha, will it?
Joseph wanted to tell Pal that this guy had been an obstacle to him for a long time.

"Hurry up and let that damn investigative committee restart the investigation."

At the moment, this is the only way Joseph can think of to bring trouble to Arthur without directly getting himself into trouble with Arthur.

Pal said somewhat uncertainly:

"The previous bribery scandal of the Investigative Committee has not passed yet, and we are eager to restart it, right..."

"It doesn't matter. Don't we have enough scandals now? The Mobile Credit Scandal has already caused a stir in Congress. This one is not the least. If the discussion is really loud, then a new group of investigative committee members will be replaced."

Pal understands why Joseph insists on doing this in a peripheral way. If he really wants to target Arthur Morgan, the easiest way is to reopen his previous case and the matter will be over. But if he does this, then both sides will suffer, After all, Arthur had given them a lot of money. If there was no evidence, no one would believe it.

As for Joseph's move to touch Arthur's money stored in the banks in New York, he had previously considered that Arthur would not find out that it was him who did it. After all, in terms of legal procedures, they did it seamlessly.

But now it seems that it seems a bit reckless. Foreman is dead, and other bankers are panicking. Even if Foreman does not confess Joseph, what about the others?

Now, Joseph was actually considering whether to return the money the way he came from. After all, he didn't want to see Arthur in the office again who came to him to test the gun.

"How much money can we make if we sell the stock now?" Joseph asked.

"Sir, now is not a good time. In the past two days, some people have been short selling unscrupulously on a large scale. The market has begun to wait and see. If you take action now, you compare the risks borne by Arthur Morgan's money with the returns. That's terrible. It's not appropriate." Parr advised.

Joseph nodded in agreement. You must know that the risks he took in such an operation were much greater than Pal thought. However, in the face of interests, Joseph still took the risk. As Arthur said, no one can do this. Keep calm in the face of huge interests, and so did Joseph.

No one knows what will happen to the Mobile credit scandal in the end. Joseph must also seize the opportunity to use the power in his hands to prepare sufficient escape routes for himself.
