Richard broke out this time, and he did have a plan to eradicate the big stone blocking the agreement hall in one fell swoop, and he also had the idea of seizing it richly, after all, the Datang Society's funds were too tight, and if there was no income, it would soon be cut off.

The agreement hall is full of pornography, gambling and drugs, and the family foundation must be very rich.

But Richard didn't expect that he would be so rich that he would have dug a big gold mine.

It's normal to think about it

San Francisco is a city with a gold rush, far more men than women, and the vast majority of the tens of thousands of gold diggers are single men, which is a huge demand.

Not counting the countless hidden doors, the whole city is 7 brothels, of which 4 Chinese prostitutes in the agreement hall do most of the gold diggers and sailors' business because of their low prices.

According to the backbone of the protocol hall, the water ghost; The turnover of the four brothels in a month has tens of thousands of ounces of gold, which does not count the profit of the gambling stalls, which can really be described as a daily profit.

Why can't those white gold diggers make a fortune?

It was not because as soon as they dug up some gold, the white gold diggers went to the new town to prostitute and gamble, until they used up the last piece of gold on their bodies, and then they picked up their tools and went back to the rivers of America to pan for gold.

Anyway, the money is easy to come by, just build it.

Built in the basement of a Spanish-style house, this chamber is made of large boulders, and the interior is extremely sturdy, with a cold sheen under the light of a kerosene lamp.

Complemented by the brilliant golden hue, it presents the psychedelic color of wealth, which is simply addictive.

This underground chamber is small in size, less than 20 square meters, divided into two small rooms, with heavy wooden doors wrapped in iron sheets.

In one room there were countless gold ingots, silver and banknotes, and in the other room there were more than a dozen boxes of guns and several large barrels of black powder, all of which were shiny republican 9-year muskets, each box of seven, adding up to a total of hundreds.

Forcibly suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Richard locked the door with his backhand, and then walked out down the stone stairs.

The entrance was a study, and Richard pushed the bookcase through it, which was completely obscuring the entrance.

A delicate woman in the study knelt on the ground and shivered, and when she heard the movement, she raised her head, and her pretty face was already full of tears.

This woman is Lin Zhanyuan's beautiful concubine, named Ye Xian'er, she choked and cried; "Master...... Father...... Concubinage...... Uh-huh...... The concubine has told her everything she knows, begging for ...... Beg...... Raise your noble hand and spare my life! ”

"I ask you, who else knows about this secret room?"

"In the past, it was Brother Hao, the helmsman, who was in charge of the secret room himself, and no one was allowed to interfere, but then Brother Hao died, and the young master took the key, and he never let us in. To say you know...... Uncle De and the third master in charge of the accounts should know where the secret room is, but they have never entered it, and besides, our family members have never entered it. ”

"Well, I won't embarrass you, just find a room in the front yard for the time being, and make plans in the future."

"Concubine, thank you Li Ye for being complete." Ye Xian'er bowed deeply again.

But behind her respectful look, there is this indescribable resentment, hidden under Chu Chu's pitiful appearance.

Although Ye Xian'er is a concubine, on the acre of San Francisco in North America, there is no housemother on it, she is the indispensable master, and everyone has to respect her.

Now that Lin Zhanyuan's foundation has been taken away, he is fleeing in panic like a lost dog, how can he forget the hatred of taking his business and destroying his family?

Richard clearly felt this malice, and the corners of his mouth pouted with a subtle coldness, but he said; "Don't worry about it, I'll settle it properly, you can go."

After sending Ye Xian'er away, Richard walked outside the house and saw Liu Wu and others guarding the left and right of the house, so he ordered; "A few of you are staying here, no one is allowed to enter without my permission, remember, Lin Zhanyuan may kill a horse pistol at any time, and I have been filled with bullets to be vigilant."

"Young master, leave this place to us to guard, you can rest assured."

"Well, Lin Zhengde still hasn't spoken?"

"Yes, young master, but our men are now torturing other captives, and may be able to get some news."

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

Richard nodded, in this quiet little garden, there are only a few Spanish-style houses, but I didn't expect that there is a lot of wealth inside, and there is a treasure trove of amazing wealth.

There was still a lot to do tonight, and he didn't stop and strode to the front yard.

Soon after

From the mouths of the other tortured prisoners, it was learned that in addition to the brothel gambling stalls, the House of Agreement also had a lot of business title deeds, and in addition to the San Francisco Foundation, there were also two brothels in Sacramento, with thirty or forty gunmen stationed there.

More than 30 kilometers away, there is a manor house of thousands of hectares, called Rose Manor.

There is also a three-masted galleon in the bay, which is a large wooden ship named "Guangfu" that crossed the Pacific Ocean from the Luzon Islands to San Francisco, and Lin Zhanyuan came on this ship.

So

There are three possible places for Lin Zhanyuan, one is the "Guangfu" in the bay, and the other is the suburban rose manor. One may flee to Sacramento.

Of course, it is also possible to hide in an unknown residence in San Francisco.

But this is not safe, after the Datang Society fully took over the territory of the Agreement Hall, no Chinese group dared to accept Lin Zhanyuan and openly confront the Datang Society.

The above three locations are the farthest in Sacramento, 100 kilometers away from San Francisco, and without a single healthy horse and sufficient food, it is difficult for Lin Zhanyuan to reach there in a short time.

The situation at Rose Manor is more or less the same, it takes at least seven or eight hours to walk without horses, and in the wilderness of North America, where packs of wolves and brown bears are often seen, it is very dangerous to walk alone.

The nearest was the "Guangfu" in the bay, so Richard was ready to personally lead the horse team to capture the ship completely.

But there is no rush now

The spilled men are cleaning up the brothels and gambling stalls, and there are also people to guard the rudder compound here, and only when the dust settles can they start the next move.

It is expected that Lin Zhanyuan will escape over the wall, there are no horses in his hands, and it is about ten kilometers all the way to the bay, which will take more than an hour, and he must not be as fast as the horse team.

Waited in the lobby for about 40 minutes

Dai Changfu and more than 20 gunmen came back with more than 40 prisoners, and the rest of the people, needless to say, all stayed in the town of the gambling stall in the brothel.

Dai Changfu's subordinates and Gao Shiheng's subordinates met, plus Liu Wu's 9-member personal guard, bringing together nearly 50 people, and more than 70 prisoners, all of whom were locked in the wing room with their hands tied behind their backs.

"Changfu and Liu Wu don't have to go, they will guard their homes here, and by the way, they will screen out the bastards who have done a lot of evil in Pingsuli and forced them to be prostitutes for me, and they will be detained alone."

Richard commanded, then turned his face to Gai Wangshan and He Daozhai and said; "The two of you cooperate to interrogate Lin San, he is the North American rudder of the Agreement Hall, all the fields, shops and money in the accounts are clear to this person, and ah, take some people to copy Brother Hao's house for me, he should have made a lot of money in North America in the past few years, and he will also copy it out for me."

Speaking of which

Richard paused, and looked at the gunmen in the front yard who had been fighting in the middle of the night, and now almost everyone was equipped with guns, and it was the time for the soldiers to be strong.

He said loudly; "Brothers, now we have to completely knock the agreement hall to the ground in one go, so that in the future, we can raise our eyebrows, eat and drink spicy food, everyone says that this is not the case."

"Well said, President, we'll all do your bidding."

"That's good, just do what I was assigned just now, Gao Shiheng will take your people with me."

The command is over

Richard was not verbose, took the reins of the horse brought by his entourage and turned over on his horse, and more than twenty other people also got on their horses, rushed out of the courtyard in the night, and galloped away in the direction of the bay.

The horses' hooves roared, and they galloped happily through the silent and empty streets, rumbling away like a black cloud.

Strangely, Sheriff John's man seemed to be invisible, and he was never seen from beginning to end.
