Some newspapers in San Francisco continued to resist, after all, Stanford and the shareholders of the Central Pacific Inscription Company with him as the core and rallying around him were their big financiers, and this confrontation of public opinion was, in a sense, a duel between the eastern conglomerates and the western wealthy landlords. For a long time, the far west of the Tiangao Emperor gave the rich people a wide range of freedom to expand, but now, the civil war has ended, and the problems in the east have been solved. With the opening of the west, oh, wrong, it is the further deepening of the westward expansion movement, and the tentacles of the big conglomerates in the east have obviously extended to the west.

In order to counter the attacks of the newspapers in the east, the indigenous newspapers in the west also began to follow suit by "countering unconscionable rumors with rumors with conscience". Paul was the first to be attacked?? Nestor sailor, so the boatswain's various life experiences were dug up. What "though Paul?? Nestor Boatswain doesn't say it now, but at the Last Judgment, in the face of Jesus Christ, he will confess very honestly that he took thirty silver coins from the gang of vampires in the east (according to the Bible, Judas sold Jesus for 3o silver coins) before he came out to perjury"; What "Paul?? Would Nestor be so honest as Fillswain would he remember that he owed at least twenty prostitutes in San Francisco"; What" with Paul?? Nestor Boatswain's colleagues on the ship spoke one after another, to Paul?? Nestor smears the Central Pacific Railroad with disdain, and the sailor, who did not want to be named, sued reporter Paul?? Nestor is a sodomite" blah blah blah blah

The New York Herald unceremoniously countered with a cartoon of a sailor talking to a reporter-like man with splatters, while another man who looked like Stanford was holding a pistol to the back of the sailor's head. The following is accompanied by the following text: "How could the Central Pacific Railroad be a slave owner?" They are kind, but they are the Virgin. I strongly support them, Paul?? Nestor is a sodomite who even pays for prostitution, and his lies make us all ashamed of him...... Mr. Stanford, I'm done, can I get the gun off my head? ”

Of course, the western newspapers also unceremoniously shot back: "We can find several witnesses for everything we say, but what about you? You have a 'conscience,' but do you have the truth? ”

……

"Hello, are you Will from the USS Robin Hood, the predecessor of the U.S. Coast Guard?? Captain Turner? "A man in his forties appeared in Will with a smile on his face?? In front of Captain Turner, who was buying steel nails and hammers for roof repairs at the hardware store.

"Ah, it's me, what's the matter?" Will?? Turner asked.

"My name is Jack?? Payne was a reporter for the New York Daily Times (the predecessor of the New York Times). Can we talk? ”

"Oh, nice to meet you." Will?? Captain Turner said, "I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" ”

"I know there's a café over there, we can go there and talk about it." That self-proclaimed name is Jack?? Payne's correspondent said.

"Well, anyway, I'm off today, and it's fine." Will?? Turner happily agreed, and he vaguely felt that an opportunity to change his life was in front of him.

So Will?? Turner took the nail he had bought, put it in his bag, and followed this Jack?? The Payne reporter went to the nearby café. The two of them found a quiet place and sat down.

"Will?? Captain Turner, do you know the recent news about the 'slave ship'? "Jack?? Payne asked.

"I know some, but the truth is confusing." Will?? Captain Turner said he had roughly estimated what the other party was looking for him.

"There's a way to uncover the truth." Jack?? "We know that there are also some of these ships that left San Francisco for China five months ago," Payne said. The ships should be back in San Francisco these days. Your ship has the right to board any ship in the waters of the United States and to have it thoroughly inspected. In this way, the truth will naturally come out. ”

"But, Mr. Payne, the sea is so big that we may not be able to find them directly. And, you know, these boats have a very deep back (river crab) scene, and my crew and I have to take a lot of risks and even have to pay a lot of price if we want to move them. I also think about my crew, and my family. "Will?? Captain Turner said.

"Of course we do." Jack?? Payne said, "Look, Paul who came out first to uncover the dark curtain?? Mr. Nestor, isn't he being well placed? He and his family are now in a fairly safe place, and the standard of living has improved dramatically. As long as the truth he debunks in the end is confirmed, he will become a hero to all of America. His children would be proud to have a father like him. And he's going to get a very good position on the Union Pacific Railroad because of his honesty and integrity—you know, behind those who are trying to expose the truth, there are also forces of justice that are far more powerful than those who don't see the light. ”

Will?? Captain Turner, of course, knew that the so-called forces of justice were actually those of Union Pacific's shareholders. If you do the math, the energy of these people is indeed terrifyingly high. But he had to go on to ask a little more clearly.

"If I'm willing to help, do you really have the power to protect all the people and their families? You know, that's a lot of people. And it's not like Paul now?? Nestor, those people were defenseless......"

"We know very well how much strength those people have, and I can tell you that the strength we put into it is far greater than you expected. The 'Blackwater' hired by Union Pacific Railroad alone is over five hundred. I believe this will be enough to keep your families safe. ”

"But we are civil servants, we can't be like Paul?? Nestor ran straight to you and hid like that...... "Will??" Captain Turner continued. Him and Paul?? Nestor is different, if he doesn't say goodbye, he will be punished by the law.

"We can arrange an unsuccessful assassination of you and your crew. Then you have good reasons to resign from your current position and leave San Francisco. I promise that this will in no way have a bad impact on your future. "Jack?? Payne said.

"Are you really a journalist? I'm a little skeptical. "Will?? Captain Turner asked.

Jack?? Payne laughed, "At least for the time being. ”

"So how can I trust you?" Will?? Captain Turner asked.

"I can give you a large sum of money as an advance for settling-in expenses. You can take it out and use it first, and you should be sure that no one would joke with such a large sum of money......"

……

"Captain, you're saying that as long as we go and grab a ship that transports Chinese laborers and give them ample evidence, they'll agree to give each of us $5ooo? And keep us and our families safe? And guaranteed to give us better jobs on the East Coast? A sailor asked.

"Yes, the question now is, what do you think?" Will?? Captain Turner asked.

A sailor bit a toothpick in his mouth in two pieces and said, "If you want me to say, fuck it!" Is there still a risk of going to sea every day, so that you can get back more money? Just do it once, and you'll have $5ooo! Captain, you really have the money? If so, even without those conditions, the $5ooo alone is definitely worth the risk. Captain, do it! I listen to you. ”

"What about you?" Will?? Captain Turner asked again.

"Fuck, fuck! Whoever doesn't do it is a bad seed! ”

"Yes,! Having money is not a fool! ”

"Okay, now that everyone has decided. Then I'll go and inform the other party. If you have made up your mind, you will not regret it, and you will not be allowed to leak it out, otherwise...... Don't blame me ......"

……

The cargo ship "Ursa Major" is slowly moving slowly. Wang Qinian squatted in the stinky cargo hold, looking up at the half-open and half-closed hatch above, the cargo hold is now much more spacious, originally this small cargo hold, crowded with more than 300 people, but now, the rest of the people in the cargo hold are not even a hundred.

"Brother Qi Nian, it's my turn to pour and urine this time, right?" A man who was a little fatter than everyone else asked.

Before Wang Qinian could answer, there was a burst of scolding around him.

"Chen Bachi, you are shameless! It was your turn just the day before yesterday. ”

"Chen Bachi, you are so fat, you still grab water with us to drink! You want to be shameless! ”

On this ship, every day the hatch is opened on time, a ladder is lowered, and then a Chinese can take out the poke containing feces and urine accumulated throughout the day. Then the foreign devils will send down some food and water from above. Wang Qinian, the eldest in this group of people, set the rules, everyone took turns to go out to the feces and urine, and everyone who worked on the stall could get an extra sip when they drank water. Now that there are so many fewer people, there is no shortage of food, but there is still a lack of water, think about it, the foreign devil sailors themselves are short of water, can they not take the opportunity to deduct their drinking water?

Wang Qinian used to be a long-haired man, and followed Li Xiucheng to fight in the south and the north. Later, when the kingdom of heaven was over, he fled from Tianjing City with a group of brothers. originally wanted to find a mountain and become bandits, but who knew that in the end, the Qing demon would catch up, so they all became prisoners and were put on death row. Originally, I thought that an old bandit in Guangxi like Wang Qinian would definitely be beheaded after the autumn, but it was probably the handover of the magistrate or something, and they were left in prison and actually forgotten. It wasn't until recently that a foreigner came to buy a pig baby, and they were remembered, and then they were treated as pig babies and bought this Citiboat boat.

"It's Brother Lin Shenhe's turn today." Wang Qinian said.

At this time, there was a clangling sound on the hatch, and Wang Qinian knew that this was a foreign devil removing the heavy object pressing on the hatch and preparing to open the hatch.
