Chapter 31: Snatching Food
New towns
in a two-storey Victorian building
Several well-dressed old white men were standing under the porch on the second floor, chatting loudly on their toes, and one of them, a fat old man with a thick Cuban Havana cigar in his mouth, was the de facto owner of the new town...... John Sartre, a veteran colonist born in the Swiss mountains.
John Sutter was clearly the center of attention, with the rancher Ralston, the white lawyer Adam Tatum, local businessmen John Maynard Keynes and Little Higgins II in a circle, and the topic was none other than the Tang Dynasty that had taken the city by storm last night and the legendary central figure Richard.
"I've heard that yesterday Richard killed eight more people in a row in old Barr's tavern, and the news has spread among the gold diggers of the rivers throughout the Americas, and Richard is known as one of the most legendary gunmen in the West, and I don't think anyone can shoot faster and more lethal than him."
"You're wrong, Keynes, I don't think so." Lawyer Adam Tatum habitually retorts that he often disagrees with others, and perhaps this is the characteristic of the lawyer's profession.
And Adam Tatum is also willing to continue to make people not ignore his profession as a lawyer through maverick views.
As a matter of fact
Adam Tatum is just a liar who has read a few law books, and has not been trained in any formal law firm at all, and he has been to court twice, both for being tried for cheating, and a total of six and a half years in prison.
Fortunately, most of the West is full of illiterate rough cowboys and crews, no one cares about that, no one cares about his past, and there are no formal legal provisions here, so he mixes quite well.
Relying on a good blonde appearance, Adam Tatum has seduced the wives of several wealthy businessmen as mistresses, including Keynes's wife Mitchell.
Seeing that his rebuttal aroused the interest of others, Adam Tatum shrugged his shoulders contrivedly and made a helpless expression that I knew he was good but someone was stronger, and said;
"I'll admit that Richard, who comes from an Eastern background, is indeed one of the best gunners in the West in recent years, but let's not forget that this is the West, and there has never been a shortage of good gunners in the wilderness.
Kansas' "Bloodthirsty Bill" is a ruthless man who once robbed the postal carriage 13 times, lost all his money in a tavern gamble, pulled out his gun on the spot, and killed 5 gunmen who cheated money.
The Mancott gang, the "wolf brothers" in Las Vegas, New Mexico, is said to be an excellent gunman with four brothers, who shoot as fast as lightning, and no less than a dozen bounty hunters have died under their hands.
And that "Sunflower Killer" Sith Deng, who is accustomed to using pepper shaker revolvers, is arguably one of the best bounty hunters in the West, and no matter how tough the bandits, don't want to slip out of his hands.
Oh yes......
It's said that this person is in Sacramento right now, and all we have to do is make a big bounty on Richard, and it's not hard to do.
Therefore, when he ignores the olive branch that we have extended out, then he will face severe punishment, which is the rule in the west. ”
After saying these words
Adam Tatum smiled rather reservedly, but a discerning person could tell that he was clearly humbly fawning over John Sutter.
Because the Western rules that Mr. Lawyer spoke of are John Sartre's rules.
After six and a half years in prison, Adam Tatum deeply understood that the way to survive for little people is to hold the boss's legs tightly and not relax, and the other white people present also know this.
To put it bluntly, this gang is all John Sartre's lackeys.
Including Sheriff John standing at the top of the stairs in the corridor, although six or seven meters away, Adam Tatum's voice could be heard clearly and word for word.
John the sheriff and lawyer Adam Tatum are in cahoots to control the judicial power of the new town, and those who want to seek justice through litigation are often sucked out of the way, and even their families are ruined, and in the end they get nothing.
None of the other two major forces in the New Town, Alexander Madison and Juan Carlos, have been left out here, let alone Captain William Richardson of Parkview Green.
Although they are all white, they have a deep grudge and estrangement between each other, not to mention cooperation, and it is a blessing not to fight.
generally speaking
The three countries of Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries of Western Europe are all traditional Anglo-Saxon and Germanic peoples, who believe in Protestantism and frequently marry each other with royal families and nobles.
Since the Age of Discovery, Western European countries have carried out global colonization campaigns, and the economy is generally rich and powerful, and England has led the first wave of industrial revolution and sat on the throne of global hegemony.
These Western European countries felt superior to each other and disdained southern and eastern Europe and the Balkans as barbarian races.
Spain and Portugal are quite different from Western European countries, with darker skin, most of them with black hair and black eyes, and they are devout and Catholic, and they are incompatible with language, ethnic habits and religious beliefs, so they are much excluded and suppressed.
Because of the sharp decline of national strength, overseas colonies have also been greatly eroded.
Under the influence of this chain of contempt
White immigrants from Western European countries in the United States generally looked down on native whites in Mexico, such as Juan Carlos.
Although this guy is blonde and blue-eyed, and he also has a blonde mustache, a native white man is a native white man, and the Spaniards themselves do not recognize it, let alone these snobbish American cowboys.
If you really want to say that you have a noble and pure blood, you have to belong to the Scottish captain William Richardson of Yerba Meadow, who often disdainfully called John Sartre "an upstart from the backcountry", and he really showed no mercy.
That's right, Switzerland, a small mountainous country, was so poor that the French Emperor Napoleon, at his most glorious time, occupied almost all of Western Europe, but turned a blind eye to Switzerland.
This hellish place is so poor, and it costs money to build it to occupy it, so it's really nothing but the fierce Swiss mountain people!
In the face of William Richardson's public ridicule, although John Sartre was so angry that his face was flushed and he had the heart to kill, there was nothing he could do.
Because that's what it is, there's no denying it.
Under the deliberate praise of everyone, John Sartre showed an arrogant smile on his face and said arrogantly;
"I hate unruly people, and when Orientals come here, they should build railroads and grow crops in a proper manner, instead of going to the rivers of America to pan for gold with the outrageous idea of getting rich overnight.
This Richard is a restless man, what kind of camp he built in Grape Valley, sent a team of horses to patrol the rivers of America, and now he is running to the new town to fight and kill, what does he want to do?
What protector of the Chinese gold diggers?
I don't like this arrogant title, and now, it's time to let him know the rules of San Francisco. ”
Speaking of which
John Sartre took a deep puff of his Cuban cigar cigarette, then slowly exhaled a thick, mellow cyan smoke, and his fat face showed a fierce color.
A big guy is a big guy, even a gray-haired big guy is still a lion, and he will eat people when he is angry.
Downstairs at the town hall
Sheriff John gathered nearly 50 mounted police officers on standby, and ambushed nearly 200 white gunmen in the streets of the surrounding Old Town, an overwhelming force.
As long as this Richard dares to come, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
If he didn't dare to come, just by virtue of the big crime of contempt of the council, Sheriff John could call on the white soughtmen to attack and completely destroy the Chinese power of the Tang Society.
No matter what you do, the Datang Club will not be pleased.
Everyone knows that the agreement hall is very profitable in the leather and meat business and gambling stalls, and the reason why it was not touched was only because the sheep was not fat enough, not because it was not capable of going under the knife.
Datang will suddenly come out like this, which is equivalent to cutting off the beard halfway, snatching food in the tiger's mouth, and watching a large piece of fat fly to the mouth.
Just ask, can the big guy John Sartre not be angry?
In San Francisco, who would dare to compete with John Sartre? Isn't it tired and crooked?
It has been said that; How did John Sutter know that Protocol Hall was a big fat sheep?
The person who asks this is too underestimating the deep-rooted power of the local snake, the entire San Francisco, every grass and tree, every move, all can't escape John Sartre's eyes, how profitable are these side businesses of the Agreement Hall, John Sartre probably knows no less than the big cabinet Lin Sanye?
Accumulating more than a year, at least more than 100,000 ounces of huge wealth, so much money has neither been spent, nor shipped away, let alone deposited in the bank, is it possible to grow wings and fly?
If you think about it with your heels, you know that it must have fallen into the hands of the Datang Society.
