Chapter 241: Debt repayment is a matter of course
The next day, at the entrance to the town of Lincolnshire, a group of men in black on horseback suddenly appeared.
Some people are not familiar with their outfits, but some people do.
A few days ago, they had seen these people at the town's exchange, and they had received a debt that they had never thought of before.
They stood on the edge of the road, took off their hats, and saluted the group.
Chen Jianqiu, who was at the front of the line, also greeted these people.
This led to the remainder of those who did not know, and some began to follow suit.
Lincolnshire, which was originally indifferent, was happy and full of civilization for a while.
Chen Jianqiu led the team to continue forward.
They're here to ask the Santa Cruz Gang for an account today.
Before leaving, Attorney Dylan reminded him that he should call Sheriff Pyler, after all, it was in his precinct.
Chen Jianqiu waved his hand.
Now Paylor is afraid that he will not come out with him even if he says anything.
Their method of finding the Santa Cruz gang is also very simple.
At the edge of town, find a secluded alley.
It doesn't matter if you're squatting there alone, smoking, thumbs up, or counting the money.
Soon three or two scruffy men will come and round you up, knock you down in a circle, kick you in a circle, and strip you of your valuables.
It's Sean who is in charge of doing this today.
Whether it is in terms of body type or skin color, he is the best candidate.
And in the end, the two men who came up around were also pushed to the ground as they wished, and their heads were pointed at guns.
"Take us to your stronghold, I have something to find your boss." Chen Jianqiu looked at the three people with a smile.
The two men were tied by Hanif with a rope and strung into a thread, and the other end of the rope was in his hand.
Hanif rode on his horse and led them like dogs and let them show them the way.
If they dare to act rashly, the former bounty hunter only needs to kick the horse in the belly, and the two will wait to be dragged to death on the ground.
Dozens of minutes later, two men took Chen Jianqiu and them to an abandoned chapel near the town.
"Your boss's vision of the electoral base is quite unique, huh?" Chen Jianqiu pursed his lips.
"He used to be a priest, a Mexican priest, sir." The gang that was dragged by Hanif staggered said.
"Hey, mustache, the man is still an infidel." Abiot gloated at Hanif.
"Strictly speaking, you too." Hanif glared at Abiot viciously.
The main entrance of this abandoned church opens at the front, and there is a courtyard at the back.
Chen Jianqiu found that at the back of the yard, at the back door, there were still many horses.
He seemed to have discovered something, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Looks like it's quite lively today."
When he walked to the main door, Chen Jianqiu was also unceremoniously, he didn't even mean to knock on the door, he directly raised his foot, and kicked the door open with a "bang".
There is no one outside, and inside, it is full of people.
The small hall of the church has been transformed into a "multi-purpose hall" for eating, entertaining and sleeping.
Except for those who are still doing "business work" outside, most of the others are here.
Some of them were playing cards, some were bragging about a pair of, and one of them was probably just coming back and didn't have time to eat, holding a cooked cow's head and gnawing on it.
At the same time as Chen Jianqiu kicked the door open, the gang all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the gate.
Someone, come to smash the field.
A man by the window reached out and touched the gun, but before his hand could touch the gun, he was shot and flesh blurred.
"Whoever moves, hits whom, where to move, hits." Abiot's voice was cold, colder than his, a metallic sheen from the black barrel.
Chen Jianqiu took off his gloves and looked around, and from the expressions of these people, he could see that their leader was not here.
"I'm here to collect the accounts today, please inform your leader." He said.
The gang members glanced at each other, and finally the person closest to the exit of the auditorium said to Chen Jianqiu: "The boss is in the back, there are guests coming over today, and they are drinking." ”
As soon as his words fell, there were bursts of footsteps in the direction of the courtyard.
It seems that there is no need to make any further notice, the gunfire in the auditorium has alarmed the back, and the main owner should arrive immediately.
Sure enough, a Mexican dressed in a brown cloak and cowboy appeared at the door of the auditorium leading to the courtyard.
He had a Mexican face, he looked very ordinary, had no memory points, and looked like he was in his thirties.
Chen Jianqiu really couldn't connect him with the priest.
"Who told you to shoot in your camp? So bold? The man walked in scolding, but when he saw Chen Jianqiu and the dozen or so black-clothed people beside him, he immediately shut up.
"Who are you? Why did you want to hurt my person? The man furrowed his eyebrows, he looked at the bloody hands of his subordinates, and questioned Chen Jianqiu.
"You're Jose Santa Cruz, aren't you?" Chen Jianqiu slowly took out the loan contract from his clothes, "I'll collect Leonard's account." ”
"Why didn't he come himself?" Santa Cruz asked knowingly.
"He died, and I bought all his receivables." Chen Jianqiu's voice was still calm, "You initially borrowed four hundred dollars from him, and according to the interest on the contract, I calculated it, so far, you have to give me a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty-four dollars." ”
The interest on the contract is outrageous, and apparently, when Santa Cruz borrowed it, it didn't plan to pay it back.
"Joke, what buys accounts receivable? I don't understand, I owe Leonard money, and of course I pay it back to him. If you want it, let him ask for it himself. "Santa Cruz played a scoundrel.
"Would you like to see him? And then you guys talk about the arrears? Chen Jianqiu looked at Santa Cruz with a smile, but there was a solemn intent in his eyes.
Santa Cruz was stunned, but quickly returned to normal.
There are not as many people as them, and the gang of people in front of them hurt people when they shoot, and they are not good at it.
However, he was not worried at all.
"You're threatening me?" Not to be outdone, Santa Cruz glared at Chen Jianqiu and asked.
"Yes." Chen Jianqiu nodded.
"Do you know who's in the backyard? Before asking me to collect the debt, don't ask well, who gave you the courage? Santa Cruz's expression was extremely arrogant.
"I haven't inquired." Chen Jianqiu told the truth, he really didn't find out about the origin of the Santa Cruz Gang.
"That's my big brother! Do you know? My big brother is in the backyard! ”
That's what Santa Cruz is all about.
plus those people in the backyard, the dozen or so people in front of him are completely enough.
"Oh, then invite him over, maybe I'll give him a face." Chen Jianqiu ignored him and turned to look at the mural on the wall of the entrance.
"You'll regret it." Santa Cruz turned and walked into the courtyard.
A moment later, another Mexican and Santa Cruz appeared at the door of the auditorium.
"I'll take a look at who dares to come to you to collect debts." The Mexican shook off his cloak and walked into the auditorium.
He looked at the man in black standing in the auditorium, and suddenly felt familiar, especially the one in the middle with his back to him.
And when the man turned around, he suddenly felt like his soul had come out of his shell.
The man smiled at him and spoke:
"Yo, Thiago, we'll meet again."
Chen Jianqiu pointed to Santa Cruz beside Thiago: "The newly accepted little brother? ”
Thiago's eyes quickly scanned the scene, mentally estimated the strength comparison, and then looked at Santa Cruz's subordinate with an injured hand, and came up with an answer in five seconds.
"I'm not familiar with him, I'm not familiar with him."
Every time he met Chen Jianqiu, he had to take off a layer of skin.
When Chen Jianqiu was a few people before, he couldn't beat him, not to mention that now there are more than a dozen people around him!
With that, Thiago was ready to turn around and run.
"Eh, big brother! Don't go! Santa Cruz was a little confused, but he still grabbed Thiago's arm for the first time, but the latter threw him away.
"Eh, don't pull me, I'm not familiar, I'm really not familiar with you, I'll pass by." Thiago looked anxious to get out.
"If people tell you to stay, you stay." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, but in Thiago's eyes, the smile was like a satanic smile.
He had seen this man kill all his men while talking and laughing.
"Senior, please, is there anything wrong?" Thiago didn't pay attention to Santa Cruz at all, and asked Chen Jianqiu.
"This guy owes me something." Chen Jianqiu pointed to Santa Cruz.
"Hand over the money." Thiago turned to Santa Cruz, "It's only natural to pay off your debts. ”
The poor priest didn't understand what was happening, and subconsciously shook his head.
Thiago whistled, and a crowd poured in from the backyard, all guns in their hands.
"Tie them all up!" He gave the order.
Thiago's robbers were so skilled at robbery that they tied up Santa Cruz and his men.
"Senior, don't worry, I have more than ten ways to make him spit out the money." Thiago said to Chen Jianqiu.
At this moment, three people suddenly burst into the door of the auditorium.
The one who was the leader didn't see the "colleagues" tied up inside at first glance, but saw Sean standing at the door.
"You thief! Get back the money you stole from me yesterday! ”
With that, he prepared to draw his gun and shoot.
However, Hanif, who was by Sean's side, quickly disarmed him.
The three men were also tied up and thrown into the auditorium.
"I only need my share, and half of the rest will be given to the residents who have been looted by them, and you can take the rest yourself." Chen Jianqiu said to Thiago.
"In your name, senior, to those residents?" Thiago asked tentatively.
"No, on your own." Chen Jianqiu said, "When it is critical, this may save your life." ”
Thiago nodded despite some confusion.
"And what about these people?" He gestured to the Santa Cruz gang who were tied up.
"All but these three were tied, gagged, and thrown at the door of the police station in the middle of the night."
Chen Jianqiu pointed at the three people who attacked Sean and scratched Elise's face at the same time.
"As for these three men, I hope to see their bodies tomorrow morning by the river outside town."
He was not as judgment-loving as Pyler.
Scratching the woman's face may not lead to death.
But for the sake of their own future farm, there is a good business environment.
These three people should become the fertilizer of the roadside wildflowers in Lincolnshire.
