Riesef is just a village, with only more than 200 people, dozens of houses lined up along the roadside, and the largest slave owner here is only the property of three slave owners, but in terms of wealth, it is also the richest man in the village. It may be that Riesef was too poor that the Underground Railroad's stronghold did not target the theft here.

It is more likely that these self-defeating Yankees are ready to make a big news, so they will choose New Orleans as the target, but the Yankees underestimated the power of the slavery base camp, and were just about to do a big vote when they were discovered by Sheffield, and directly imprisoned the black man on the plantation, and the two white men were killed and captured!

"The stronghold is on the other side of the village, so many of us will definitely be found in the past!" Thomas said to Bird Taylor, the leader of the pursuing team, "A few people are going with me, I tricked the people inside to open the door, and you are going in to arrest people......"

"Do the people inside have guns?" This is a big problem, this thing can completely bring the strength of the two sides closer, and Bird Taylor can't help but be cautious, bullets are not afraid of strong people, on the contrary, strong people may be more likely to be hit.

"I didn't last time I came, after all, we are northerners, and this is the first time we have gone deep into the south! But they are not here to fight, how can they carry weapons in the country! Thomas said with a wry smile that if he really came with a gun, he wouldn't have become a captive of Sheffield. Who knew that the slave owners in New Orleans were so powerful, and they were directly ready to serve them, which deserved to be the base camp of slave owners in the United States, and Sheffield was right in this regard, "A group of naïve Yankees, with a negative IQ, still living in a dream......"

Both Bird Taylor and Redden agreed to Thomas's proposal, and immediately selected a few strong men to follow Thomas into the village, while the large army led the horses to rest beside the forest, and it was noon, and the pursuing thugs had to replenish their strength.

plus Thomas himself, a total of five people entered, except for Thomas's own body, the rest of the people were battle-hardened thugs of Taylor Manor, and they had a fierce momentum from the outside. A few people walked in the village looking as usual, except for Thomas himself, the rest of the thugs themselves were locals, and the few men and women who were still in the village would not have any suspicions, except for a few people who glanced curiously at the wound on Thomas's face, there was nothing else.

The length of the village is only 100 meters, and in more than a minute they have reached the stronghold of the Underground Railway, "We are not locals, so we generally try not to contact the people here, there is only one white man in it, and there are two black people disguised as black slaves!" When they reached the front of the house, several people consciously slowed down their pace so as not to make too much noise. This had no problem with the thugs of Taylor's Manor, who were physically strong, but had already learned to surprise them in their long work of capturing black slaves, because it was easier to do so......

Thomas took a deep breath and looked at the door as usual, and after a while, he replied, "Who are you looking for?" It was just a routine Q&A, and in fact the people in the room had already come and opened the door. Because the sound of Thomas knocking on the door is very distinctive, it is itself a secret signal of the Underground Railway, at this time Thomas made a gesture with his right hand backwards, and the surrounding overseers understood and waited intently for Thomas to deceive the door.

Gaba! The moment the bolt of the door inside opened, Thomas's face changed suddenly, and he pushed the door open with all his strength, and then flashed to the side, "Thomas, what are you doing with such force?" Before the doubts inside were settled, the four big men rushed in directly and punched the questions back into their stomachs.

"Wait a minute, the Yankee are ours, and the black slaves are from Sheffield Plantation, beat the black slaves!" One of the thugs from Taylor's Manor suddenly reacted and shouted, and the others were stunned. The occupational disease of always hunting black slaves made them quite ruthless, and in a few strokes, they beat the Yankee who opened the door to the bloody face, and one of them quickly tied up the incapacitated Yankee, and the remaining three thugs rushed into the back room.

After a brief confrontation, the three thugs subdued the black man's resistance with a rope around their waists, "Thomas, you traitor! "Now that the members of the Underground Railroad know what is going on, Thomas has turned his back on their ideals and has become a lackey of the Southern slave owners!

Thomas rubbed his somewhat swollen face, walked over expressionlessly, raised his hand and slapped a heavy mouth on the Yankeo's face, and said coldly, "At least I survived, as for where you end up in this life, I don't know yet!" He had heard about the division of the members of the Underground Railway at the Sheffield plantations and Taylor estate, and he had a chance to fight for his freedom compared to those who would be sold to Brazil as white slaves.

"What are you doing?" Naturally, this kind of fight in the house could not be done without alarming others, and a middle-aged woman in a room not far away screamed, and immediately some women and children who had not entered the field came out to watch the situation here. Villages like this in the south are far more humane and united than those in the industrialized north. Seeing a group of strong men beating people in their own village for no reason, they naturally wanted to stop it.

"Don't ask, this Yankee came to us to steal slaves, and they stole more than twenty slaves from Sheffield Plantation, and we came to chase them, and at the same time came to catch them and send them to the police station...... "The thug at Taylor's Manor replied seriously, as for sending them to the police station, of course, it was pure fart, and everything else was true.

"Is it true?" Led by a middle-aged woman, the remaining residents of Riesel gathered around, not believing that their neighbor who had been there for more than a month had come to be thieves.

"This lady, he is not wrong!" Thomas, who had been silent, said, "I was one of these Yankee thieves, and after I was caught, I learned the shame of the theft, so I agreed to help the simple Southerners put an end to it......"

"Traitor, shameless lackey!" The tied Yankee spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed shamelessly, "Slavery itself is immoral, you are no longer our comrade-in-arms, now you are just a lackey of a slave owner......"

As soon as Yankey spoke, the faces of the residents present changed, after all, they are southerners, although there are not many black slaves in the village, but there are dozens, for people like them who are barely slave owners, a black slave is stolen and almost kills them, obviously Thomas also knows this, and said with a sad face as if he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, "Slavery is not good, we can negotiate to let the southerners realize this, instead of being thieves to come here and steal the property of local residents, we are also a crime to do this......"

Thomas's counterattack was very beautiful, this point of view was very recognized by the residents present, indicating that Sheffield's education in the past two days was not in vain, "Ladies, the horse team we are pursuing is at the entrance of the village at the other end, can you help us inform us, we can't leave now!" ”

"There's no problem with that! I'll run fast" Immediately a little boy raised his hand and was willing to help, and soon a large number of thugs rode into the village, Bird Taylor gave a cold look at the captured Yankee and ordered, "Find a few people to stay, press them back at night, and we will continue the pursuit, by the way!" Bird Taylor unleashed his whip and threw it to the little boy who told the news, and cried, "Little one, one day you will have your own horse......"

After saying that, he got off the horse and the two thugs stayed here, Bird Taylor and Thomas shouted, and the pursuing thugs drove away along the road in a whirlwind.
