Locke asked, “Dad, who is the largest farmer in Basquefield?”

Li Bo replied, “Christopher Delong, the Delong family owns 85,000 acres of land, 27,000 of which are in Basquefield, and most of the rest are in Cochrane and San Joaquin in Fresno…”

“…”

Locke was silent. It seems that his feeling is right. Although the Locke Farm is the largest farm in Lebec, it is not good enough in Basquefield!

The Delong family, which ranks first, owns 85,000 acres, while the Locke family only has 13,500 acres. The gap is quite big!

Locke asked again: “What about the second-ranked farm?”

Li Bo replied: “Chris Adams, the Adams family owns 46,000 acres of land. In Beskfield, they own 21,000 acres of arable land, most of which are located in Famoso. The Adams family also owns the largest vegetable company in Beskfield…”

“In Beskfield, the Adams family’s influence far exceeds that of the Delong family. The current mayor of Beskfield, Miles Robinson, is Chris Adams’ son-in-law…”

Lilith Leeds’ voice suddenly came from the headset. Locke looked back at her and smiled: “Thank you for the information, Miss Leeds!”

Lilith Leeds shrugged her slender shoulders, “You are welcome, Inspector Locke!”

Locke didn’t say anything else, because he could see someone waving at them below, and they were about to land.

Soon Locke found that the person waving in the farm below was an old acquaintance, Bill, the son of Locke Farm, and there was a middle-aged white man standing next to him.

Li Bo introduced: “Most of this farm is arable land. There is no one good at farming in Locke Farm, so the original farm manager is still in charge of this farm. The person next to Bill is called Arroyo. Bill is in charge of the farm over there. It is not entirely arable land, but also has pastures, mountains and orchards…”

“The labor cost required for planting on arable land is much lower than that of pastures. It is all large-scale mechanical farming. Whether it is sowing or harvesting, if there is a shortage of people during the picking period, temporary workers can be hired. The wages of those illegal immigrants are very low…”

Locke joked: “Dad, you are almost a qualified farmer!”

Soon two planes landed one after another, and everyone got off the plane one by one.

Compared with the beautiful pasture, Locke was not very interested in this endless farmland. Instead, his mother listened to the farm manager Arroyo’s explanation of the situation of this land with great interest.

For example, how many wells, how many agricultural machinery, what to plant next, sales channels, etc.

Locke stood at the outermost edge thinking about the information his father had just said, feeling a little heavy.

Although the land area owned by Locke Farm ranks third in Beskfield, the first-ranked Delong Farm and the second-ranked Adams Farm are like two insurmountable mountains.

The reason why the two plots of arable land can be purchased this time is entirely because of Sullivan Gray’s relationship.

Otherwise, how could such flat arable land fall into the hands of the Locke family.

Locke suddenly understood why his grandfather Jester always emphasized that Lebeck was the foundation of the Locke family, because it was difficult to make a breakthrough in the arable land in the short term, and even the sales channels were in the hands of others.

But Lebeck was different. The livestock area of ​​Lebeck Beskfield and the livestock association had their own system and sales channels.

With Lebeck, the livestock industry in Beskfield was under the control of the Locke family.

“Locke, can I talk to you for a few minutes?”

Locke looked at Lily Horton who was walking slowly towards him and replied, “Of course, what do you want?”

Next to the helicopter, Lily Horton made her request. Lily Horton knew the relationship between Locke and the Greenberg family, so she wanted Locke to ask Greenberg to mediate the blood feud between the Horton family and the Daly family.

Lily Horton said, “If necessary, I am willing to compensate them with the Horton Farm…”

Locke stared at the girl in front of him who looked like a girl next door. This woman is so greedy!

Lily Horton’s eyes were clear, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked a little nervous.

Locke asked, “Does Ronald know you did this?”

Lily Horton shook her head, “Ronald doesn’t know. He’s my only relative. I don’t want him to get into trouble. Since he said he’d give me the farm as a dowry, I have the power to dispose of the farm…”

Locke raised his eyebrows, “You think this is too simple. If Ronald had only killed Susan Hubble, the hatred might have been resolved. However, Susan Hubble’s three daughters were killed in the accident.Li is dead too!”

“If the Daley family reconciles with the Horton family for money, the Daley family will not be able to gain a foothold in San Francisco!”

Locke saw that Rand was staring at them curiously, hooked his finger at this guy, and continued: “Instead of worrying about Ronald, you should worry about yourself. You are also the revenge target of the Daley family. The Hubble family was wiped out. If it is equal revenge, the Horton family will also be wiped out!”

Lily Horton’s face turned pale. At this time, Rand came over and asked: “What are you talking about?”

Locke did not answer him, and continued: “Ronald proposed that you marry Rand before, just to protect you and leave you a way out. But Jester has promised to protect you, so you don’t need to worry too much! ”

He needs to make this woman understand her situation and what the Locke family has done for her.

Jester is worried about his reputation and it is difficult to attack Horton Farm, but he has no concerns. How could he let the meat in the bowl jump out?

But the relationship between the brother and sister is really good!

Fuck, why does he seem like a villain?

Rand said speechlessly: “Why are you talking about this again!”

Lily Horton took a deep breath, “Locke, thank you for telling me this…”

Locke comforted: “In fact, you don’t have to worry too much. The Daley family dare not take revenge too blatantly in Lebec. As long as Ronald can survive this wave, such as keeping the Daley family’s revengers in Lebec, then this matter can be put on the table. At that time, whether it is the Livestock Association, Kern County Police, or the FBI will intervene…”

“It is necessary to prove that the death of Susan Hubble and her daughter is related to Ronald…”

“At that time, there may be a chance for negotiation! ”

Locke guessed that Ronald Horton probably thought the same, so he built protective fortifications at Horton Manor.

As long as they can survive this wave and put the matter on the table, the matter will no longer be a matter between the Horton family and the Daley family.

There is no evidence that he killed Susan Hubble, but he has irrefutable evidence.

At this time, two more planes flew in from the direction of Lebeck, both Bell 407, one red and one black.
