Chapter 31: Escape

Sheffield told Martin out, then spread out the map of Louisiana and called Westin in to study the pursuit route, it would be hilarious if he did let the black slaves run away in the end, and his own clever act was enough to make the Sheffield family laugh in New Orleans, "I'm more scared that the Yankees will get on the boat, in case they go up the Mississippi River, it's hard for us to catch up!" ”

"Probably not!" Westin put his finger on the hat on his head and said with a hippie smile, "It's basically impossible to take a normal boat, these thieves don't dare to show up at the docks unless they have their own boat!" ”

"Anyway, you still have to think about the waterway, find someone to go to Taylor Manor, forget it, I'll go by myself!" Sheffield said cautiously, "The Taylor family has a lot of smuggling boats, and there is no problem getting into the Mississippi River!" ”

"Also, the princess of the Taylor family is the only one you can handle! A kind of boy and girl feelings......" Westin smiled, the rifle in his hand was a little difficult to hold, don't be careful in the fire is not good!

"We're talking about something very important!" Sheffield said helplessly, "If you really lose the black slave this time, the Sheffield family's face will be thrown into the Gulf of Mexico and you won't be able to find it!" ”

The two studied the route on the map, Westin packed the ticket, if the Yankee fled by the road, he would definitely be able to ensure that these people could not escape from Louisiana, Baton Rouge in the north, Lafayette in the west, Lake Charles, Shreveport City in the northwest, and Monroe City, the gateway to Louisiana, these Louisiana towns, there are many old Sheffield friends, and Westin himself has seen many local slave owners. As long as the Yankee thief shows up, he will definitely be caught.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely not embarrassing, trust me!" Westin reassured, "Maybe this is an opportunity for the Sheffield family to make a big face in New Orleans, and the shrewd teenage plantation owner has thwarted the Yankee thief's plot......"

Sheffield put on a bearskin, and it wasn't too late to say these words when the Underground Railway stronghold was really pulled out.

The overseers selected by Westin used the Sheffield family's cotton plantation as a racetrack, and vaguely really had the style of a western cowboy, according to Sheffield's idea, after the base camp was pressed in Texas in the future, Westin and these people could be said to be truly worthy of the name.

Sheffield has been keeping an eye on Martin's connection with the Underground Railway, and there are a total of four people in the stronghold who want to steal the Sheffield family, two whites, a black aunt, and a mulatto! According to the definition of black people in the United States, as long as there is black blood, even after a few generations, all of them are considered black!

When they learned that Martin could lead more than two black slaves to escape, the two black men had a happy smile on their faces and told Martin that they could take these black slaves to escape.

"When do you think it's better to let Lincoln and Martin run away with black slaves?" Sheffield was basking in the sun at noon, and asked Westin and Henry next to him, Westin and the two were relatively normal, Sheffield in a bear skin leaned against a tree, alive and a North American grizzly bear.

"We have no problem, we can do it at any time!" Westin looked at each other and said, "Edward, don't wear bearskins at night, we're worried about your life......"

"Then tomorrow, let Martin contact and prepare to escape!" Unmoved, Sheffield wrapped the bearskin a little tighter.

On the other hand, the Taylor family, who ran the slave market, was no easier than Sheffield, and any possible action against slavery would cause a backlash from the slave family. But after all, after a lot of wind and waves, the two quickly calmed down.

Taylor Manor has been very lively recently, Wilson Taylor has been inviting slave owners in New Orleans to come as guests, the Olanger family, the Holden family, Wilson Taylor and their conversations have achieved good results, at least they all think that the underground railroad movement is a scourge, and after several large plantation owners ventilated, Taylor Manor ushered in a special guest, the Caldwell family is the fourth largest slave owner in New Orleans, and other people have entered the business world to develop differently, the Caldwell family chose to enter the government department for development, Influential throughout Louisiana.

"Let me contact the other big families?" John Caldwell stroked his long hair and said, "As for such a big battle?" The slave owners of the entire state must be mobilized, not so! ”

"There's no way, the other families are not in New Orleans, only you can notify the government the fastest!" Wilson Taylor pouted, "The Underground Railroad has spread to Louisiana, which shows that the abolitionist is getting bigger, and he wants us dead!" Every year, hundreds of thousands of black slaves are stolen from the regions near the north, how can this loss be calculated? Who is pitiful for the bankrupt little slave owners, who used the money from long hours to buy a slave, but in the end they lost all their money, and you turned a blind eye to the so-called high-ranking government officials? ”

"Did you notify Claire's family?" John Caldwell wanted to know the opinion of the first slave owner, the first slave owner's plantations are all over Louisiana, and several brothers control more than a dozen plantations in different cities, the Claire family is most famous for the fact that their own family does not have many slaves, but the long history has made them bear the livelihood of many slave owners, that is to say, other families are slaves, and the Claire family is slave owners! The Claire family's plantations in places like Shreveport and Monroe were no smaller than the largest slave owners in the area, and many middle-class slave owners with less than fifty slaves depended on the Claire family.

"The talkers of their family either traveled around Europe or were lying on bills and counting their money! But I'm sure as long as you give notice, the Claire housekeepers elsewhere will definitely help! Wilson Taylor had mixed feelings about the Claire family, and the members of the Claire family he had seen were not too outstanding, so they were barely decent. But the accumulation of a generation of Taylor Manor is really not enough in front of the century-old heritage of the Claire family.

In the middle of the night, in the Sheffield cotton plantation, the white overseer guarding the shack was already asleep, and Lincoln, Martin and Luther King Jr. tiptoed close to the shack to open the chain at the door, "It's us, don't move!" Lincoln lowered his voice and told the black slaves not to act rashly.

Lutheran King stood at the door and watched the wind, and after a while waved his hand to show that there was nothing abnormal, Martin motioned to hold on to the shackles and not make a sound, and the three of them crept around like mammals, and the black slaves who left the shack did the same, and slowly left the shack where they were imprisoned without making a sound.

"Why don't you say why blacks are talented in acting!" Sheffield held a monocular pestle on the glass, watching these black slaves escape the whole time, if it wasn't for his own planning, and let the white overseer deliberately go to sleep, maybe these black slaves could really escape, but who let the traitor appear among the black slaves, let Sheffield learn about the stronghold of the Underground Railway, everything is fate, Sheffield believes that he will soon be able to see these escaped black slaves again, back to work on the plantation.

After an hour, the quiet plantation suddenly became noisy, Sheffield, Westin, Raidon and Henry came out of their rooms respectively, the overseer of the night watch called all the white people up, many people went directly into the stable to lead the horses, Westin rode directly on the horse, Sheffield did not dare to put the bear skin on his body and walked to Westin's side in light of the fact that it was not easy to see clearly, Sheffield did not dare to put the bear skin on his body and walked to Westin's side and stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Brother Westin, you don't want to clean up the stronghold, just follow the people of the Underground Railway to find the stronghold, and leave the cleanup to us!" ”

Westin nodded on his horse, flicked his whip and shouted, "Come with me, let's go hunting!" ”

Drive! More than two dozen overseers shouted together, which made Sheffield, who couldn't dodge, eat a nose, and the knights left here as if they didn't realize it, "White people don't have talent in acting!" Sheffield said fiercely as he spat out the sand in his mouth.
