Chapter 227: The Captain Who Sells Intelligence
The group returned to Albuquerque and arrived at the door of a hotel in the city.
Chen Jianqiu noticed that the blonde young man was still following them.
"What's wrong? Peter Pan? Anything else? He turned his head to look at the young man.
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly: "Are you going to fight the Knights tomorrow?" I hope I can help. ”
Chen Jianqiu looked him up and down.
This young man is about the same age as himself, only in his twenties, but he exudes a kind of youthful sharpness all over his body.
However, Chen Jianqiu generally does not choose to act with people of unknown origin, because this will make the action full of uncertainty.
"Thank you, but I think we might not have the same purpose." Chen Jianqiu politely declined.
The blonde young man's face was a little disappointed, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Well, good luck to you." He stretched out his hand to Chen Jianqiu.
"Good luck too." Chen Jianqiu shook his hand.
Early the next morning, Chen Jianqiu walked out of the room dressed neatly.
He saw the bartender cleaning the bar, so he stepped forward and slapped a fifty-cent coin on the bar.
As soon as the bartender turned his head and saw the coin, he immediately turned to Chen Jianqiu with a smile: "Is there anything I can do for you?" Mr. ”
"Do you know what Albuquerque is most informed about the gangs?" Chen Jianqiu asked.
The bartender looked Chen Jianqiu up and down.
Although he was curious about why this yellow-skinned man wanted to inquire about this, he still told Chen Jianqiu: "At the pier west of the city, on the edge of the Rio Grande, there is a small cabin with a Mexican named Gonzalez in it. ”
"When you find him, you can learn what you want to know." After the bar finished speaking, he reached out to get the coin, but Chen Jianqiu flicked his fingers and flicked the coin into his hand.
Just as he was about to look up to thank him, he found that Chen Jianqiu had already walked out of the door of the hotel.
The Rio Grande runs through the city, and the shipping on the river is not withering, but it is by no means lively, except for a few small boats that sail up and down the river.
At the pier in the west of the city, Chen Jianqiu really saw a small wooden house.
Next to the cabin, a bearded Mexican is packing up the docks.
"Are you Gonzalez?" Chen Jianqiu walked up to the Mexican and asked directly.
"What's wrong?" The Mexican glanced at Chen Jianqiu lazily.
Chen Jianqiu's hand reached into his clothes, and when his hand came out of his clothes, there was an extra one-dollar bill on it.
"If so, I'd like to ask you for some information." He said.
Gonzalez didn't seem surprised at all, he took the dollar from Chen Jianqiu's hand and said, "What kind of information, you ask." ”
"Do you have any news about the rally organized by the Granchi Farmers' Mutual Aid Association this afternoon?" Chen Jianqiu asked.
"Those turtles want to go to Blake's construction site in the form of protest and obstruct the construction of the railroad to get the capital to negotiate with Blake." Gonzalez said nonchalantly, "His vice president told me last night when he was drinking. ”
"Protest? Hold a sign and hang downstairs in Blake's office? Chen Jianqiu wondered.
"I don't know, but I can tell you that tomorrow Blake will take his armed guards to the construction site." After speaking, Gonzalez stretched out his hand to Chen Jianqiu, "This is the second article, and there is an additional charge." ”
Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "This is worthless, I can't tie him up, his armed guards are about twenty people." ”
"Aha!" Gonzalez glanced at Chen Jianqiu, "I roughly understand what you're going to do." ”
"I have a lot of treasures here, you must be able to use them." Gonzalez's expression looked a little excited, and he motioned for Chen Jianqiu to follow him into the hut, "The price is affordable, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”
Chen Jianqiu looked around, and then followed him into the hut.
Gonzalez lifted his bed and pulled out one wooden box after another.
He grabbed a crowbar from behind the door and pried two of the boxes open.
Bundle by bundle of explosives.
"You usually sleep on explosives?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Gonzalez, "I want these." ”
The beard smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and the middle front tooth was missing.
"I can also tell you the news that Bourne's "Knights" will come tomorrow to stir up trouble, and these people are coming for those Chinese laborers. Byrne's men, but there are nearly a hundred."
Gonzalez observed Chen Jianqiu's reaction, but found nothing, his expression was unusually calm.
"Where is the construction site?" Chen Jianqiu asked.
"The railroad is laid down the Rio Grande, and the construction site is on the riverbank."
"If you're willing to pay, I can help you connect with some gangs in the surrounding area, but I don't know if anyone is willing to take the job." Gonzalez is still trying to get a job, "If you have money, I can get it for you." ”
Chen Jianqiu ignored him, but walked out of the hut and stood on the dock and looked around.
Those rabble, he didn't dare to be interested.
His gaze stopped at something that seemed more reliable.
In the afternoon, everyone was sitting in the corner of the hotel hall wiping the parts of their guns, but they saw Chen Jianqiu walking in from the entrance of the hotel with a large bag.
He walked over to the crowd's table and began to pull things out of the bag in the same way.
explosives, Molotov cocktails, poisoned hand axes......
"Boss, where did you get these things?" Hanif watched dumbfounded.
"You have to know what a 'place outside the law' is." Chen Jianqiu distributed the things to everyone, "As long as you can think of it, you can buy it here." ”
"Boss, we seem to be getting late." Sean pointed out the door of the inn.
Suddenly, from outside the hotel, in the direction of the square, there was a sound of slogans.
The sound then fades as the distance increases.
"When did I say I was going to their rally?" Chen Jianqiu tilted his head and looked at Sean.
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Jianqiu looked unhurried, and continued to disassemble his revolver there.
After a while, Chen Jianqiu finally stood up.
"Everyone's ready, right? Pack your dry food and get ready to go. Chen Jianqiu looked around everyone and said.
Everyone carried their things and walked out of the hotel gate, they got on their horses and followed behind Chen Jianqiu.
What they didn't expect was that Chen Jianqiu did not take them out of the city, but came directly to a pier on the bank of the Grande River.
A small steamer docked by the dock.
"Dismount, get on the boat, what are you doing in a daze?" Chen Jianqiu was the first to board the ship and high-fived the Mexican captain.
"I'm a good girl, boss, where did you get this?" Sean looked amazed.
"Rented." Chen Jianqiu leaned on the side of the boat, "You guys bring all the guns, the bullets are here." ”
When everyone got on the boat, with a sharp steam whistle, the ship started.
The boat went down the Rio Grande, and the scenery on both sides of the river was also in full view.
And they soon heard the sound of slogans, coming from the riverbank.
Correspondingly, the crowd gradually became able to see the dress of the Glench members and the signs they were holding.
Chen Jianqiu picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked at the procession.
He did not notice the members of the "Order" costumes, who had either not yet arrived, or had changed into ordinary clothes and hid themselves in the crowd of parades.
The ship was kept at a distance from the riverbank, and Chen Jianqiu asked Gonzalez to slow down the ship.
Because, the construction site of the railway is not far ahead.
