Mars Alec has been in a bad mood lately.

Mars Alec is the sheriff of Clay County, Indiana, a 933-square-kilometer area located in western Indiana named in honor of Kentucky Senator and former Secretary of State Henry Clay.

The county seat of Clay County is a small town called Brazil, which is no more than five square kilometers in size and has a population of less than 4,000 people, and Mars Alec knows almost everyone in the city.

Just a week ago, there was a horrific incident in Clay County, a Chinese couple was attacked on their way home, both of them died on the spot, and in the subsequent autopsy, it was found that the woman who was shot three times was three months pregnant, which made Mars Alec feel extremely bad.

Like everyone else in the town, Mars Alec knew the Chinese couple who had both died in the attack, and although they had only known each other for half a month, Mars Alec was deeply impressed by the hero's boldness and shrewdness, as well as the hostess who could make pies extremely delicious, and Mars Alec felt sad every time he thought about it.

At the same time, there is a faint fear.

It was not only the threat from far away in New York that frightened Mars Alec, but also the pressure that other Chinese in Clay County put on Mars Alec.

There are now about 60 Chinese in Clay County, all of whom are farmers, and their farms are located near the South Pacific Railroad, so they always act in unison, and they are best at using the power of the group to put pressure on others.

After the attack, the Chinese in Clay County have held three rally, the first time only a dozen people participated, the second time and the number of people increased to 61 people, and by the third time, that is, yesterday morning, the crowd demonstrating in front of the Clay County Government has increased to more than 300 people, except for the more than 60 Chinese, the others are blacks and Mexicans, these blacks and Mexicans claim that they are all hired workers on Chinese farms, and the demonstration is to demand that the Clay County Government solve the case as soon as possible. At the same time, the offender should be sentenced to death.

If nothing else, in about half an hour there will be a gathering in front of the Clay County Government, usually on horseback, with a pistol in the pouch by the saddle, a pistol in the holster at the waist, and a whip in a very different style from the others.

In Clay County, a quartter horse plus two sidearms, one long and one short, cost nearly $200, and if you use this money to buy land in Clay County, you can buy about 140 acres, and many blacks and Mexicans will not earn that much money in their lifetime.

But for all Chinese farmers, such equipment can only be regarded as the basic, Mars Alec once found the handle of the ivory gun on the waists of several Chinese farmers, which is the symbol of the craft pistol, the fist product of the Horse Arms Company, in Clay County, such a pistol will be sold for hundreds of dollars, Mars Alec also wanted to buy one, but hesitated several times, still did not make up his mind.

Mars Alec has learned that these Chinese farmers have obtained land from the Horse Group, so that they are qualified to become farmers, and these farmers have served the Horse Group, as long as they are willing to go to the Midwest to develop their farms, they can obtain loans ranging from the Bank of America, and then use these loans to buy land from the Horse Group, and finally repay it in 7-10 years.

As an old "Clay man", Mars Alec knows the land distribution of Clay County well, the land of Chinese farmers is located on both sides of the railway, most of these farms are still wasteland, the U.S. government in the past few years in order to attract social forces to invest in the railway, these lands as bargaining chips to those who are willing to invest generously, Mars Alec does not know why these wastelands are in the hands of the Horse Group, but Mars Alec knows very well that as long as these wastelands are reclaimed, It will soon become a first-class fertile field.

Therefore, although Mars Alec has a big head, Mars Alec still greets the Chinese farmers who are demonstrative.

In a few years, the most fertile land in Clay County will be in the hands of Chinese farmers, and Chinese farmers will become an increasingly important part of Clay County.

"Nelson, get your tea and coffee ready, our guests are almost there... Gavin, take your guys and cordon off the neighborhood two blocks, I don't want to see any surprises, if that damn Irish guy wants to come over and make trouble, you know what to do... Potter, get ready to open the door, a new day is about to begin..."As soon as he entered the office, Mars Alec issued a series of orders.

Just last night, Mars Alec received a message that those veteran Irish farmers in Clay County were going to give these new Chinese farmers a little color today.

Before the Chinese farmers came to Clay County, most of the farmers in Clay County were Irish, and Mars Alec hated these Irish people very much compared to the warm-hearted, hard-working Chinese farmers, who were rude, hot-tempered, often gathering crowds to make trouble, and were best at borrowing the name of the collective to achieve their personal goals.

The Chinese couple who had been attacked had a dispute with an Irish farmer before the attack, and after the court pronounced the verdict, the hapless Chinese couple was attacked on their way home.

It can be said that in Clay County, Chinese farmers and Irish farmers are already on the same page, if left alone, referring to the fiery temper of Irish farmers, as well as the unity and toughness shown by Chinese farmers in recent days, then they may stage an all-out show in front of the county government, which Mars Alec absolutely does not want to see.

"Sheriff, it seems a little wrong, usually at this time, there are already a lot of people gathered across the street, but today there is no movement, it feels very abnormal..."Mars Alec's most powerful assistant, Nelson, stood by the window and looked across the street, but did not see the picture he imagined.

"Nothing happening?" Mars Alec didn't believe that Mars Alec had entered through the small door in order to avoid the imaginary crowd just now, so he didn't know what was going on outside the main gate.

There was really no movement, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, but there was no one on the other side of the street, only a few old dogs hanging out on the street, no imaginary banners, no imaginary crowds, and no imaginary street fights.

"Sheriff, I received a message last night that someone was coming from New York today, and it didn't look like someone was coming." Gavin has his own news channel, and the content of the bulletin is very strong, and it is easy to think of something that is not very friendly.

"Who? Lawyer? "Mars Alec didn't feel very well, and it was as if he had a big rock pressed on his chest, and he had trouble breathing.

"I don't know, but this news has spread crazy in the Chinese community, and it seems that the Chinese have found a way to deal with it, so it's so quiet today." Gavin's information is also very important, whether he is a lawyer from New York or not, he has won the trust of Chinese farmers, and it remains to be seen whether this matter is good or bad.

"Let's go, go to the train station." Mars Alec couldn't sit still and had to go to the train station to take a look.

Several policemen rushed out the door, each leading his horse to the train station.

In the entire Pacific Rim Railway, the "Brazil Station" is the most common small station, and there are hundreds of such stations in the entire Pacific Rim Railway.

Although the city is small and the population is not large, Mars Alec was born and raised in Sri Lanka, and he still wants to be a landlord to the fullest.

The railway station of the small town does not need to be compared with big cities such as New York and Boston, the area of the Clay County Railway Station is only about more than 1,000 square meters, and there is only one platform, and the waiting hall building is also a single floor, and there are at least 100 trains passing through the Clay County Railway Station every day, but there are certainly less than 100 passengers from the Clay County Railway Station, and the average person can not even do a train.

Tethering his horse to a pillar in front of the exit of the train station, and walking into the train station with his feet raised, Mars Alec finally knew why no one was demonstrating today, it turned out that everyone had come to the train station, men, women and children, and all dressed in formal clothes, and it was obvious that there were indeed big people coming down from here.

"Hey, buddy, who are you waiting for here?" Without Mars Alec's instructions, Nelson quickly pulled a somewhat familiar Chinese to inquire about the news.

It's really just a little familiar, in the eyes of Westerners, the faces of Easterners are a little flat, and there are no memory points, so it looks like Chinese people all over the world look the same.

"The big man from New York, he's here to help us get justice..."The Chinese farmer who was called was originally very excited, but when he saw the uniform on Nelson's body, the expression on his face was obviously a little hesitant: "Brother, shouldn't you be on duty in the county government now?" ”

"You're all gone, what are we doing there?" Nelson didn't want to talk about it, so he quickly found a reason to get rid of it, and then reported back to Marth Alec.

"Justice? Hmph, if justice is so easy to serve, why do you want us police? Mars Alec didn't know where the Divine came from New York, but he knew the word "justice" well.

"It seems that they are getting stronger and stronger, they used to come here in groups, and at most they had a look for each other, but now look..."Potter thought more, worried about what was in front of him.

It is normal to be worried, Chinese farmers come to Clay County from New York as a family unit, and each family owns more than 300 acres of land on average, and 300 acres is about 1,800 acres when converted into acres.

"It's not our business, what we need to do now is to maintain order, and it's better to find out what these Chinese ranchers are thinking, they are so xenophobic that we should find someone to infiltrate them." Gavin didn't like the semi-closed group of Chinese, who had been a police officer for more than ten years, and had dealt with almost all ethnic groups, such as shrewd Jews, lazy Irish, blacks who wanted to exert their strength but couldn't find a point, and Mexicans who often passed the grind of foreign workers.

The Chinese are different from the above groups, in terms of personal conduct, these Chinese are as pure as saints, they do not smoke, rarely drink, absolutely do not beat their wives, and their attitude is absolutely serious and responsible when working.

At the same time, the Chinese community is also extremely xenophobic, and even Jews who are known for exclusion will be easily accepted by the Jewish community if they are willing to convert to Judaism.

The Chinese are absolutely different, the mythological system of the Chinese is completely different from that of the West, the Westerners believe in God, the Chinese believe in a group of gods, and the Westerners simply cannot understand the belief of this model, so naturally there is no talk of infiltration.

As he spoke, a steam locomotive drove into the train station with white smoke and gasping, the screeching of brakes was almost maddening, and the friction between the load wheels and the rails was like someone sawing your ears with a saw.

Before the train stopped, a Chinese man wearing a white Panamanian top hat, a black suit, and a civilized staff jumped out of the carriage.

Mars Alec didn't know the mystery hidden in the silver-white civilization staff, otherwise Mars Alec would have been able to conclude that he had just jumped out of the carriage, and this young man who looked less than 30 years old represented the "justice" in the mouths of Chinese farmers.

Justice will only be late, but it will never be absent, and there are more than a dozen people who jumped out of the carriage with the young man, one of whom was carrying a rectangular canvas bag on his shoulder, which made Mars Acrylic couldn't help but analyze, how many guns were in the bag? What kind of guns are they?

The first one to jump out of the window was naturally Chu Wushuang, although technology continues to advance, and the speed of the train is getting faster and faster, but it is still long enough to come from New York to Clay County, even if Chu Wushuang has practiced martial arts all year round, he can't stand the toss of long-distance travel.

As soon as Chu Wushuang's feet touched the ground, fierce applause and earth-shattering cheers immediately sounded in the station, which represented the absolute trust of the Chinese farmers in the Golden Horse Group, although they didn't know Chu Wushuang, but since they were qualified to represent the Junma Group, Chu Wushuang also had two brushes.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, for a moment, Chu Wushuang's mind was clouded.

People in mixed society have never been genuinely welcomed by so many people, understand.
