Chapter 53: The Wind Rises
Chapter 53: The Wind Rises
Welcoming a few people into the laboratory, Ye Tan explained: "Dad, I already knew about this matter. This is because someone takes a fancy to our family property, so they will try their best to smear me. Rest assured, I've figured out how to deal with them. ”
The tragedy of the battle of Lobos Point Mountain has reached the ears of Ye Shengde and several people.
Therefore, several people believe in Ye Tan unconditionally.
In fact, those rumors say that eight * nine is not far from ten. However, no one witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were chasing after the wind. Therefore, Ye Tan didn't care at all.
When Henry learned of Jem's death, he shook his head sadly. The Guild would be too greedy, and as a result, Jem played himself to death. Without a small life, no matter how much money you have, you will not be blessed to enjoy.
What's more, that Mr. Yatan looks like a raptor crossing the river.
Now there are so many rumors circulating in San Francisco, and I don't know how many people have been used as guns and turned into dry bones. Henry felt sorry for those who were greedy.
In the hall of Branner's house, the richest man in San Francisco, seven or eight old men gathered in a circle. Swallowing clouds and smoking, he smoked the cigar of Guba Patgas, and his brows were not furrowed.
As the head snake of San Francisco, there is no way to hide anything from them.
But now, the rumors about that Yatan are intensifying. If there is no person behind the back, they will not believe it.
However, that power is too mysterious. No matter how much they tried, they couldn't find any clues.
However, the explosion of Lobos Point Mountain for a long time, and the president of the Guild, Jem, disappeared along with the ironclad chariot, which cannot but make people think about it.
"Branner, you've been in San Francisco longer than we are, is that Yetan thing?"
An old man with triangular eyes finally couldn't help but ask.
Branner took a sip of coffee and shook his head, "I'm old, these things are all managed by my son Taylor, you go and ask him," he sneered in his heart, "Anyone with a little IQ will feel that things are not normal." These old ghosts are actually thinking about some gold and silver treasures, and they want to die quickly and don't pull me along. ”
An old man covered in old age spots and on the verge of death glanced at Branner unwillingly, "Branner, give us a word, we owe you a favor." ”
"Favors? You old men are dead, fart human favors. ”
The old guys were so entangled that Branner almost crooked his nose in anger.
Suddenly, a servant hurried in and whispered something in his ear. Branner's complexion changed drastically, blue and white, the heavens and men fought, and finally said weakly: "Old White, the news that Yetan has obtained the treasure may be true. I suddenly felt unwell and was out of company. ”
With that, Branner seemed to have suddenly aged several years, and with the help of the servant, he returned to the room in a hurry.
After getting the exact news, the old men were in high spirits, as if they had been stimulated, and suddenly they were several years younger. They exchanged eyes and left Branner's villa at the same time.
It's just that the conversation between them was listened to word by word by a "piggy" slave outside the door.
The seat of the San Francisco state capital, Governor John Brown. Inside Weller's office.
John. Weller was anxious, took a stack of telegrams, handed it to Jeb Kuta on the side, and said in embarrassment: "Colonel, this is the leader of the New York Congress. Piedi, Admiral Deis. Horn, Minister of Logistics, Jenning. Beas, the head of the Senate office, Dulane... They sent a telegram asking us to cease our dealings with Mr. Yatan and to investigate Mr. Ye Tan's property of unknown origin," said John. Weller pulled out one from a stack of telegrams, "This is a telegram from England from the Lord family. We are asked to arrest Mr. Yatan immediately and put him on trial. The reason was the suspicion that Mr. Yetan had killed Lieutenant Colonel Wilder. ”
"Weller, what are you going to do?"
Jebkuta was well aware of the pressure Mr. Governor was facing, but in his current position, he simply couldn't speak.
"Oh! That's right! Jeb Kuta, I heard that your old superior, Brigadier General Bruston, has arrived in person. Did he bring a secret order from Hua Chengton's side? ”
John. Weller suddenly changed his words.
Jeb Kutta nodded and shook his head, "I've already met Bruston. He told me that it was best to stay out of the situation and not get involved in the dispute between the Lord family and Mr. Yatan. ”
After saying that, Jebkuta looked down at the telegram in his hand.
"Sell melons! Weller, this Sain. Pierdi, what qualifies you to stop your position?! ”
Seeing the information on the telegram, Jebkuta suddenly became angry and said very angrily.
John. Weller shook his head and said helplessly, "Sain. Piedi can't stop me as governor, but he can direct the state legislature to pass a motion of no confidence in me. ”
Jebkuta leaned weakly on the sofa, patted his forehead with his right hand and said, "Weller, how are you going to deal with it?" ”
John. Weller shrugged, "I'm neutral, and I can drag on for a day." ”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
John. Weller opened the door, and the secretary handed him a telegram.
"Eress of the Lord family, arriving in San Francisco."
John. Weller quickly skimmed through the contents of the telegram.
Jebkuta was suddenly shocked: "The people of the Lord family have come here in person, and Mr. Yetan is going to be bad." Weller, can you help Yatan? ”
John Weller actually hated those big families and overwhelmed people.
"Colonel, things aren't as bad as you think. The reason why Bruston rushed over was actually to escort the Lord family. I'm sure you heard the cannon on Cape Lobos Mountain today. You and I have never heard that sound before," said John. Weller smiled mysteriously, then changed his words and said, "But we also have to make a show and ask Mr. Yatan to come and stay for a few days." ”
Jeb Kuta gritted his teeth, glared at John Weller fiercely and said, "Weller, how can you do this? Do you think it's possible? ”
See Jeb Kuta angry and John. Weller didn't think much of himself, and said with a sly smile, "Colonel, no matter what, we still have to give the face of the Lord family." As for whether or not he catches Yetan, that's another matter. ”
By John. Weller lightly clicked, and Jebkuta suddenly realized: "Weller, you are right! I know how to do it. ”
John. Weller smiled and called the secretary in, and told him to order the police to be assembled and prepare to go to the camp on the San Bruno Hill to arrest Yetan.
The secretary soon returned, mysteriously and nervously handed a telegram to John. Weller.
"Colonel, this is a secret telegram from the general barrel, which will be burned immediately after reading. Let's remain neutral and never give the Lord family any support. ”
Seeing the solemn command of the total barrel, John. Weller lit the telegram and had a headache.
"Weller..."
Before Jeb Kuta could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open brutally, and a giant-like black* man broke in, and he said in a stiff tone: "John. Mr. Governor Weller, my master wants to see you. ”
After speaking, the giant-like black* man who was more than two meters tall grabbed John Weller's collar and forcibly picked it up, no matter how John Weller struggled, and dragged him out. Jeb Kuta followed behind, unable to catch up.
Coming to the door of a luxurious carriage inlaid with gold, the giant black* man put John Weller down.
"Mr. Governor John Weller, my name is Lord Weller. Eres. ”
The carriage door was pushed open, and a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age stepped from above. The height is almost about 1.9 meters. With a tall eagle nose and blazing eyes, the wolf looks at the eagle. Up and down, exuding a momentum that is not angry but mighty. Blended with aristocratic elegance, both humble and aggressive, it interprets the fine heritage of the Lord family, as well as its prosperity and strength.
