At the moment, his mind was in turmoil.

The city may be called a "place outside the law" only because the law enforcement syndicate, controlled by Scott and the group behind him, turns a blind eye to cases involving civilians.

But it doesn't mean that dozens of people died outside the city and no one cared about it.

The news quickly reached the city, and the city government was so shocked that they mobilized the state militia stationed nearby.

A team of militia and police soon arrived at the scene of the crime.

They found bodies lying on the ground near the tracks:

There were members of Glanch, small farmers in the neighborhood, security guards and Chinese laborers of the Santa Fe Railroad; There were also many unidentified people wearing triangular scarves.

But the identities of these people were soon revealed, and they came from an unofficial organization called the "Knights of Albuquerque".

Other members of the group were caught by law enforcement forces as they scattered for their lives.

According to their designation, the leader of the Order, a man named Byrne, had died at the scene.

During their interrogation, law enforcement officials learned that Santa Fe had a security team that was so combat-ready that they even used Gatling to strafe.

As for what they were talking about, the security forces had one man who had killed thirteen in an instant, who was so fast that a bullet missed a bullet or something, and the law enforcement officers only thought that they had been swept away by Gatling's shadow and hallucination.

Blake was also "closely protected" by law enforcement officers, his security captain was taken away, and the entire company compound was also controlled.

Someone needs to be held accountable for this heinous incident.

Far away in Santa Fe, Scott was silent at this time.

From Albuquerque to Santa Fe, rumors are rife that the so-called "Knights" have an inexplicable relationship with him and the "Santa Fe Group".

Scott stayed in his office, eager to dig the dead Byrne out of the dirt and shoot him again.

His request to Byrne is to use his appeal among racists to canvass votes for himself.

It never occurred to me that this man would threaten Blake, let alone that he would be so mad as to openly attempt to cause massacre around Albuquerque.

This thing deserved to lose his life, and now it is the most fatal thing to provoke himself.

Around, there is really a person who can be used.

He shook the bell on the table.

The secretary came in at a trot from the door, and stood respectfully beside him, listening to his commands.

"Get ready to get off the carriage, I'll go to the newspaper office."

Scott sighed.

……

Albuquerque, west of the city, by the dock.

Chen Jianqiu took a bag from the black radish's back, then took out a small gold bar from the bag and threw it into Gonzalez's hand.

"Balance."

The Mexican captain took the gold bar, rubbed it in his hand, raised it to look at the sun, put it in his pocket, and smiled.

"If there's anything to do next time you come to Albuquerque, you can still find me." "As long as you have the money, I can do almost anything for you in this place." ”

"Then you can get me a few more carriages." Chen Jianqiu turned around and saw those Chinese workers, all looking at him.

He walked up to Luo Yonggui and took off the triangular scarf on his face.

Under the triangular scarf, a young, yellow-skinned face was revealed.

A burst of cheers erupted in cheers among the Chinese workers.

Although they had heard this man speak Chinese before, it was still a little hard to believe that they could not see his face with their own eyes.

In this kingdom, there really is a fellow citizen who will bring someone to save them.

"What's next for you?" Chen Jianqiu asked Luo Yonggui.

"We follow you." Luo Yonggui said categorically.

"How many of you come to the U.S. to make some money and then go back?" Chen Jianqiu looked around at them and said something that didn't sound very relevant.

Everyone looked at each other.

In fact, most of them were deceived into becoming piglets.

Because I heard that this place is full of gold, because I heard that this place is fertile for thousands of miles.

"I, we can't go back." The old man with the goatee had old man written on his face, and he sighed, "The house is ruined." ”

"It's not paradise either." Chen Jianqiu stared at him, "If you are willing to follow me, I hope you can give up your illusions in the future." ”

"Everyone around you will be your family, treat them well."

"Lift up your heads, straighten your loins, and regain your dignity."

Some of the Chinese workers understood, some seemed to understand, and most of them were at a loss.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything more.

Regardless of their reaction, it won't be long before these people will understand.

"What about you?" He turned to the blonde young man, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”

The blonde young man had just gotten off the boat, his arm was bandaged, and he was standing behind Chen Jianqiu, a little hesitant, as if he was about to say something to Chen Jianqiu.

On the boat just now, he learned that his father and mother were now with Chen Jianqiu.

Therefore, when Chen Jianqiu took the initiative to call him, the young man was shocked: "Eh, my name is Holly Romney." ”

"Come with us." Chen Jianqiu took a cigarette in his mouth and tilted his head at him, "Your parents miss you very much." ”

Hawley was a little hesitant, he wanted to follow these people, but he didn't know how to face his father.

Seeing Holly's expression, Chen Jianqiu waved his hand at the others, signaling them to each of them to prepare for their departure.

He put his arm on Hawley's shoulders and took him to the side, a place on the dock where there was no one.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jianqiu asked him.

"For as long as I can remember, my parents have been taking me to escape from the hunt." Holly looked at Chen Jianqiu and said, "He used to be a brave man, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes. ”

"In my memory, he and his mother have been fighting against those evil people and helping the weak. At that time, he was the person I admired the most. ”

"It wasn't until we came to Pitkin, and we made our home there, that my father was never seen again."

Hawley's eyes were extremely dark.

He knew exactly what the Phelps guys were. He's doing things for those people, or he's turning a blind eye to sin. ”

"My god vanished from that moment on, and I was disappointed that Pitkin's days could be seen at a glance."

"So, I left Pitkin with a couple of young people from the same town and came to New Mexico."

"For the past few years, I have been fighting those thugs, fighting hyena gangs, and exchanging gunfire with train robbers, just to prove to my father that justice! is indelible. ”

Hawley's eyes began to sparkle again, like a flame.

"That's why you played missing?" Chen Jianqiu laughed.

Holly was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, the young people who came out together wanted to go back, so I acted alone." ”

Chen Jianqiu glanced at this young man who was actually about the same age as himself, and then turned his head to look at the Grande River.

Blake was escorted back to Albuquerque by the security captain.

"I don't know who my parents are, or rather, for as long as I can remember, they haven't been around me, dead or alive, I don't know."

Chen Jianqiu squatted down, he picked up a stone from his side and threw it towards the Grande River.

The stone fell into the river with a "thud", making a splash, but it quickly disappeared.

The Rio Grande still flowed so quietly as if nothing had happened just now.

Whether it was before or after the crossing, Chen Jianqiu was an orphan, and he used to envy those children of the same age, who could snuggle in the arms of their parents, and some people were worried and cared about.

"Your parents love you very much." Chen Jianqiu stood up and patted Holly's shoulder, "Justice, it has always been there, he will always look at you on the way when you come, just like your parents." ”

He and Hawley passed by, re-entering the crowd.

One more, two more later
