Hearing Downing ask this question, Buston's face changed drastically, because no one else would know about this matter except for a few of them, so how did this Mark Twain know? So he hurriedly asked, "You—How did you know about this?" ”

And Lincoln didn't wait for Booth to answer, just looking at his face, he knew that something must be true, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Johnson and Seward, and even complained to Downing: "Mark, why didn't you tell me earlier that Johnson and Seward are also in danger?" (I forgot to mention in the previous chapter that Johnson was the vice president at the time, and Seward was the secretary of state.)

Tang Ning spread his hands helplessly: "You didn't even believe that someone assassinated you before, how can I talk about others?" And I only know that someone will assassinate you in the theater, and I don't know where and when they will assassinate Johnson and Mr. Seward, so I can't remind you. ”

Fortunately, in the end, Johnson and Seward were fine, and Lincoln breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, and then thanked Downing sincerely: "Mr. Twain, this time it is really thanks to you, otherwise whether it is me or Seward or Johnson, as long as one person has an accident, it will be really troublesome!" ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do as an American citizen, and I have a lot of admiration for your contributions to the Black Liberation Movement." Tang Ning also replied sincerely.

"I know that Mr. Twain is running for governor of New York, and although it is not convenient for me to help you openly in this matter, I can also introduce some friends to you, they are very energetic, and I can also lend you my campaign team to help you succeed in the election!" Lincoln said seriously.

To be honest, it was completely a whim of Downing to help Lincoln get out of danger, I really didn't expect such a return, you know what level of Lincoln's campaign team is? That's definitely the best team in the whole of America, after all, people can even win the president, let alone a mere governor! And what kind of friends did Lincoln know? What kind of person can be called by him with great energy? At least it has to be at Carnegie's level, right?

So Downing was alone when he came to New York, and when he returned, he brought a presidential campaign team of more than 20 people, and the whole team did not need to pay any salary during the gubernatorial campaign, because Lincoln had already silently helped him pay in advance. And that's just Lincoln's help, and Vice President Johnson and Secretary of State Seward have also funded him to varying degrees.

It turns out that professionals are professionals, and after hearing Downing mention Derrick and others, Durant, the head of the campaign team, immediately said in surprise: "Great, this matter alone can at least help Mr. Twain get rid of a strong opponent!" ”

Although Downing knew that this matter must have been done by one of Hoffman or Woodford, he had no evidence, and he couldn't directly say that Derek and others really came to murder him, otherwise his murder would not be explained, so he asked Durant puzzled: "Mr. Durant, although Derrick and these people may be coming for me, they haven't done anything after all, and now that they are all dead, how can we use this matter to play?" ”

Durant replied disapprovingly: "What's not to play with this?" Whether they do it or not, as long as there is a possibility and someone believes it, well, Mr. Twain, you can leave this matter to us! ”

Facts once again proved that professionals are professionals, and within two days, they really found out the relationship between Bill and Derek and others, and I don't know what means they used, they actually made Bill turn back, and personally came forward to confirm that it was Hoffman who instructed him to contact Derek and these 3 Klux Klans to assassinate Mark Twain, but I don't know why they all died mysteriously.

As soon as this incident came out, coupled with the promotion of the campaign team, Hoffman's image plummeted, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the gubernatorial race.

In normal times, if Hoffman withdrew, then Woodford, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, would be happy to have a party to celebrate, because on weekdays, it was this old rival who was competing with him, and as long as he was killed, the governor would be in his pocket, but this time Woodford was not happy at all.

I saw him frowning in the study and saying to his assistant: "This Mark Twain is really too domineering, although this old guy Hoffman is not a good thing, but he actually used such an inexplicable reason to get down, and now I am really worried that I will have a guy like Bill here!" ”

The assistant hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Boss, don't worry, I can't guarantee others, but I am absolutely loyal to you!" ”

Woodford nodded and said, "Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't tell you about it, I'm asking you to quickly check the people below, I don't want Bill's thing to happen to me!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll check!" The assistant agreed, and then hurried out.

While Woodford was busy checking himself, Downing received an invitation that surprised him, initially from his assistant sister Nicole.

Because of Lincoln's professional campaign team, Mike and Nicole, the campaign assistants who were originally around Downing, seemed very embarrassed, after all, they couldn't compare to professionals like Durant in any case, so Nicole hadn't been to Downing's campaign office for several days.

Therefore, Downing was still a little surprised to see Nicole coming, but fortunately, Nicole said first: "Mr. Twain, I don't know if you have time tonight, my brother-in-law, E. John-Pierpont-Morgan, wants to see you!" ”

Hearing that JP Morgan, the "creditor of the world", wanted to see him, Downing was a little suspicious of his ears, barely calmed down, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. Morgan is looking for me?" I'd better prepare in advance! ”

Nicole hesitated, then replied, "Well, it looks like Mr. Morgan is going to support your candidacy for governor!" ”

PS: Push a book "Travel Experiencer", it is said that the author of this book is really a travel expert, at least he has been to the places written in the book, so the travel is written very real, very down-to-earth, and the previous "Emperor Jin Biandan" is completely different, but the disadvantage is that it is more bland, relatively slow to heat, like friends recommend to take a look!
