"Hey, Indians!"

Harrison took a few steps to the side, away from the elated beaver.

His eyes were fixed on the turtledove that was slowly walking towards him, and he said loudly.

Harrison has a good eye, and he is one of the few juniors in the Vanderbilt family who can occasionally gain the approval of the family patriarch.

This is also the reason why he can be delegated to open up territory for the family.

"I have to admit that your marksmanship is the best of all the people I've ever seen." Harrison said.

He speaks English.

Seeing that the Indian was unmoved, he thought that it was because the other party could not understand English, so he changed to Indian and spoke it again.

"Really? There is no one among the whites who has the marksmanship of me, okay? Turtledove asked.

Harrison hesitated. said: "There are only a few of them, but they are all the pride of the sky, which is unusual. You are an Indian, there is no need to compare with them. ”

Turtledove smiled.

He was still moving forward unhurriedly.

For some reason, Harrison's heart suddenly felt a little hairy.

"Indians, I admire you!" Harrison continued. "When I see the sheriff here, I'll give him a big compliment on you!"

"Thank you!"

"What do you want? Money? Or do you want to be an officer? Harrison took two steps back.

The turtledove was still at least a dozen paces away from him, but Harrison just felt that the Indian in front of him smelled of danger.

There was a smile on his face, but the smile was—Harrison felt, as if he had seen Aemond kneeling on the bed with a leather whip in his hand.

"Indians, where is your tribe? I promise that when I return to New York, I can propose to the Council that I get the best reservation for your tribe!" I swear, I will! You know, Vanderbilt's credibility is more precious than gold! ”

The turtledove is still moving forward unhurriedly.

He was calm and quiet, and even he stopped and re-tied his loose shoelaces.

"Indians! You must be the best samurai in your tribe, right? No, you must be an Indian nobleman, right? I swear to God, I have never seen a man as beautiful as you! You're even more beautiful than Aemond! ”

Turtledove stood five paces away from Harrison, gun in one hand, muzzle aimed at Harrison.

"Don't, don't, Indians!" Harrison hurriedly raised his hands, once again identifying himself as a captive.

Extraordinary captive status!

"You know, Indians! I am an important member of the Vanderbilt family, and as long as you spare me, I will bring you unimaginable wealth-"

The beaver had been standing next to Harrison.

At first, he saw the turtledove approaching, and he smiled happily.

However, as the turtledove got closer and closer, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.

The turtledove also had a smile on its face.

But the smile was all too familiar. The beaver had seen it once when the turtledove first climbed the stone and laughed down the hillside.

"Turtledove, what are you going to do?" The beaver screamed.

Just as the turtledove raised his gun and pointed it at Harrison, the beaver stood in front of Harrison in a flash.

"Turtledove, he's surrendered! We've come to an agreement! Turtledove, you can't be untrustworthy! The beaver said hurriedly.

He cautiously raised his hand, trying to remove the barrel that was close at hand.

Harrison behind him was shouting, "One hundred thousand dollars!" I'm willing to pay $100,000! ”

……

1 US dollar = 1.5 grams of gold, which is regulated by the federal government.

And in the middle of the 19th century, an average worker earned about $300 a year.

The beaver was under Sergeant Scott's side, risking his life to earn money, and earning 50 pesos or $20 a month was already very satisfying to Sergeant Scott.

At the beginning, the Vanderbilt was willing to pay a ransom of $10,000 to himself, which completely broke the beaver's psychological defenses.

Originally, the beaver followed the turtle dove to find the treasure, and his expected income was only a large handful of golden sand, and he could be overjoyed to have about 2 kilograms. He didn't dare to think about more.

However, under the guns of the turtledove, this Vanderbilt actually gave himself a hundred thousand dollars in chips!

When the beaver heard this number, he only felt like his whole body was electrified!

100,000 dollars!

No matter how rich the imagination of the beaver is, he can't imagine what a fortune this is!

Maybe you can buy the entire Greenstone Village?

With so much money, what can you do?

Where is it safer?

If you marry a wife, do you marry a big ass or a big breast? Is white or black better?

Those who looked down on themselves in the past must have come running over to slap themselves, right?

Maybe you can be friends with the Vanderbilt family?

In the midst of lightning, the beaver has already thought of a name for his son!

His eyes were glazed, and his face shone with the light of being hit by the sun!

100,000 dollars!

……

"Well, dear Vanderbilt!" Turtledove said, "For the sake of your willingness to pay a ransom of 100,000 dollars, I promise you!" ”

"What a smart choice!" Harrison breathed a sigh of relief. "If you kill me, not only will you not get the money, but you will also face the pursuit of the federal army! Not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but your tribe, and all the Indians of Texas, will be wiped out as a result! ”

Turtledove smiled.

"Vanderbilt has more wealth than you can imagine!" Harrison hated Turtledove's smile, and he always felt that it was an offense to himself.

Harrison straightened his chest and said, "Alright, Indian, escort me to Houston first!" ”

He was a proud gentleman.

Even for the sake of his family, he had to go to poor places like the West, dress up as immigrants, and sleep out with those rude cowboys.

But in his heart he was a proud gentleman.

Even in New York, in Richmond, he is a top-notch figure.

He was an extraordinary young man who had a glass of wine and laughed with President Martin Van Buren on the lawn of the White House!

Maybe in the future, I can run for president!

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out!

Harrison's smile was still on his face.

He didn't even have time to ask, "Why?" ”

But the turtledove had already guessed, and he must have wanted to ask "why".

So the turtledove put down the gun and blew the muzzle of the gun, which was still smoking.

He said to himself, "I'm just a beginner compared to you when it comes to not believing in my words!" I didn't learn well enough to make you believe it, I'm sorry! ”
