Chapter 315: Pacify Juarez
Sergio's body was already placed side by side with Ariana's.
The young man threw himself at them, weeping bitterly.
Chen Jianqiu walked to the side and bowed to the corpse.
"He is the pride of the Romero family, a warrior who dares to challenge the two families." Chen Jianqiu said.
Pedro wanted to say thank you, but when he saw the heavily armed warriors behind Chen Jianqiu, he sensed that something was wrong.
How could a merchant bring so many soldiers, even if it was an armed escort of a caravan, it was impossible.
And the fingers of these soldiers, resting on the body of the gun, never went far from the trigger.
He glanced at the scarred warriors behind him again, and the expression on his face froze.
But Romero was still crying.
"Let him be alone for a while." Chen Jianqiu's gaze moved away from Sergio's body and turned to Pedro, "You can follow me for a while." ”
Pedro had no choice but to follow Chen Jianqiu, through the wounded soldiers, and came to the back of the statue of the Virgin.
And Rabiot, as a translator, was with them.
"What do you want?" Pedro asked eagerly.
"What did you tell me before?" Chen Jianqiu put his hands behind his back and looked up at the statue of Our Lady full of craters.
"Let us live, I will take the little young master away and fly away, never return to Ciudad Juarez." Perez gave his own answer.
"Not only will I not let Salvador die, but I also hope that he will succeed the Romero family and become the new consul of Juárez." Chen Jianqiu no longer looked at the statue of the Virgin, but looked at Pedro.
Pedro took a deep breath: "I'm not going to let Salvador be a puppet." ”
Chen Jianqiu smiled.
"I don't think the young master of the Ling family and you will live long without this city. You should know how many people Sergio has offended. Chen Jianqiu said.
"I don't need to make a move, the other forces around Juarez alone won't allow him to live."
Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction of Sargio's corpse.
"In addition, I guess Sergio is alive and does not want the Romero family to be left alone, he has been working hard for the revival of the family all his life."
Pedro was silent.
He knew that in front of the Chinese in front of him, he had no capital to negotiate.
He was just a child adopted by the Romero family, the captain of a village cavalry patrol with few remaining members.
Soon after, Chen Jianqiu and the three returned to the corpse.
"Romero, now we're going to sweep away the remaining enemies in the city of Qingrez, including your rival in love, don't you want to see him hanged?"
Chen Jianqiu looked down at Romero, who was still crying, and said.
"Go, I'm going to stay with my brother and my dear Ariana." The young man was still lying on the ground and weeping silently.
Chen Jianqiu didn't speak, and turned his back.
Looking at his young master's unsuccessful appearance, Pedro's teeth were about to crush: "Young master, the enemy is still in the city!" Our situation is still critical! ”
But Romero's fragile heart seems to have been crushed by sadness, and he doesn't even have the courage to stand up.
"Come, help the young master get on the horse." Chen Jianqiu said indifferently to the soldiers behind him.
The majesty of his voice is indisputable.
Two warriors walked up and lifted Romero, who was still weeping on the ground, and carried him out the door.
Pedro watched as his young master was carried out.
"I got a carriage for him." Chen Jianqiu said to Pedro, "There is also a carriage for Sergio's body, and when it is over, he will be given a thick burial." ”
Pedro couldn't think about it, so he had to follow Chen Jianqiu.
"Let's go!"
Chen Jianqiu left the square with the cavalry and slaughtered the Priego family's manor.
After the old Priego family left the square escorted by a group of soldiers, they went straight to their estate.
But when he walked not far from his home, he found that his manor was crowded with people and busier than ever.
A group of people they don't know are moving things out of his house.
People who don't know still think that old Priego is going to move his family.
But their actions are much rougher than moving.
These people simply broke the glass of all the windows and threw things out of the house.
"Where's my manor guard? Yes? Old Priego stood there trembling and looked out over his manor.
When he saw his beloved antique clock, which had been thrown from the second floor and shattered, he almost fainted.
The escort pointed to the corpses at the gate of the manor.
These were the manor guards the old man was looking for.
Most of the privates went to the central square with the captain, leaving only a dozen or so men to watch over the house near the manor.
They were wiped out by the second boss with the crocodiles.
The second boss was busy moving things, and he didn't have time to set fire to it.
They also saw old Priego and his guards.
The two sides exchanged fire.
The intensity of the firefighting here is much lower than that of other battlefields in Ciudad Juarez.
Old Priego and his guards were quickly repulsed.
"Master, if we don't leave, the gang inside will chase them out, and we won't be able to escape." His guards bitterly advised him, "When the square is over, our soldiers will come!" ”
"My money!" The old man danced angrily.
Two guards dragged the old man out, and several people carried him in the direction of the square.
Soon after, in front of them, in the direction of the square, a group of people on horseback approached.
"Is it one of us?" Prigo Sr.'s son, Ricardo, was a little unable to run, and he wiped his sweat.
But the captain of the guard turned around and ran:
"We don't have cavalry!"
Hearing this, Ricardo followed closely behind, throwing off his short legs and following the captain.
However, his round belly was too much of a hindrance.
On weekdays, he can barely see his feet from the top down.
So he fell to the last one.
Then he was shot in the chest.
The cavalry stepped on his corpse and swept past.
"I killed a private officer in military uniform, who seemed to be Priego." Abiot said to Chen Jianqiu in front.
"That's the son of old Priego, Ricardo, the bridegroom." Chen Jianqiu didn't look back.
He had already seen old Priego being carried by several men.
Chen Jianqiu raised his gun and shot through his body.
After walking two steps, the private soldiers of Priego realized that they were carrying a corpse, so they left old Priego and fled into the surrounding streets.
There was a slow-legged one who squatted on the side of the street holding his head and waiting to die.
But he found that these cavalry did not stop at all, and rushed past him.
Chen Jianqiu didn't have time to grind with these stragglers, he directly led the team to the entrance of Priego's manor and began to clean up the crocodile gang in the manor.
The second master didn't expect until he died that his dream of making a fortune was only half done, and it came to an abrupt end.
Next, Chen Jianqiu led the cavalry non-stop and began to sweep away the remaining crocodile gang members and the resistance of the two major families in the city.
Today's Juarez is a mess.
The defeated soldiers, who were unrestrained, scattered and fled, becoming outcasts.
Many people took advantage of the chaos and began to fish in troubled waters, smashing and looting in Ciudad Juarez.
And these people, without exception, have become the souls of Chen Jianqiu's cavalry team.
Many Juarez people, recalling the events of that day years later, said they saw nothing but black-clad warriors galloping through the streets on horseback.
They swept through the city like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, allowing Juarez to quickly return to normal.
And every time Chen Jianqiu finished cleaning up, he would also carry out the young master Romero who had no master in the carriage behind him and tell those residents who didn't know the truth.
It's a fire between families.
The Romero family won, they returned, and together with the Cavalry, they brought a new order and peace to Ciudad Juárez.
After eliminating the last crocodile gang in the two families' out-of-town estates, Chen Jianqiu took over all of their estates.
The land occupied by these two families was much more than Chen Jianqiu had imagined.
In Romero's name, he gave some of this land to other powers in the city, such as the Church.
A part of it was distributed to some peasants.
However, Chen Jianqiu knew that these lands would soon be re-annexed by other forces in various ways.
And the rest of the big part was assigned to Romero himself.
The land would soon be bought by a foreign businessman named Chen Jianqiu at a "relatively reasonable" price.
The Church and other pure forces were silent, and the civilians were satisfied.
Of course, Young Master Romero was "elected" by the citizens of Juárez as the new consul.
The town hall was reactivated.
When Gutierrez was in office, he worked and met with guests, all in his private mansion.
So it's been empty for a long time.
Chen Jianqiu sat in the largest office in the city hall and handed Abiot a letter:
"This is what Camila wrote in Romero's name, a letter to the governor of Chihuahua to inform him of everything that is happening here."
He crossed his fingers and placed it on the wooden desk, pushing another letter on the table in front of Abiot.
Chen Jianqiu said word by word:
"This letter is addressed to former President Dias, whose old subordinates, the Romero family and Ciudad Juarez, are willing to pledge their allegiance to him!"
