America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 203 Traditional Arts of New Mexico

Thiago Mendel, male, 43 years old, Mexican.

His full name is Thiago González Maute Santiago Sebastian Rodrigo Selmo Mendel.

This man was originally a conscientious bandit who formed a gang of desperadoes and wandered around the interstate highway from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, doing the same business as Hernandez did before.

After being recruited by Congressman Scott, he led his team to "go to Beijing" and established the Alligator Gang, which was active in the Mexican community in Santa Fe.

With Scott's help, he and Van Cleef, the former Santa Fe police chief who was shot dead by Chen Jianqiu, worked together and grew bigger and bigger, becoming the largest gang in the Mexican community in Santa Fe.

And accordingly he will do some dirty work for Scott,

for example:

The Mexicans who spoke ill of Scott were tied up in sacks and thrown into the river;

Or dumping a horse carcass on the doorstep of Scott’s political opponents;

Another example would be to threaten the bad guys from the east who come to New Mexico with all their thoughts on getting rich, and remind them that it’s time to pay some political donations.

But his life is very difficult now.

In order to run for the recent mayoral election, Scott decisively killed Zion McCall, a fellow "chamber pot", and framed him to launch a cleanup operation against the Santa Fe Mexican gangsters.

Although the original executor, Van Cleef, died in a duel, his assistant named Brunson stepped forward and began to attack them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Thiago was forced to flee Santa Fe with his personal entourage.

His photo also appeared on the reward list at the entrance of the Santa Fe Police Department, and because his name was too long, his reward list was particularly large.

Brunson specifically reminded you to use your full name.

Thiago looked at the outline of Santa Fe City in the distance and sighed.

When we first entered the city, it was full of vitality and everything was in full swing before our eyes, but now things have changed.

I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay.

Tiago decided to return to the interstate highway and return to robbery, the most promising career in New Mexico.

At this time, he was leading his men to ambush on both sides of a bridge,

"Boss, we have been waiting all day, and we can't open anything." Thiago's men muttered, looking at the horizon in the distance.

Logically speaking, this route is easy to gain. This is the busiest commercial road in New Mexico, with an endless stream of pedestrians and caravans coming and going.

Mainly because Thiago set some new guidelines for them regarding robbery.

The robbery business in New Mexico hasn't been very good lately.

First, the hyena gang of old-timer Hernandez suddenly silenced the ruins for some reason, and then a group of madmen in suits appeared out of nowhere in Lincoln County, catching and killing the gang members who had robbed the road.

They must have messed with someone they shouldn't mess with.

Robbery is a technical job, so you have to choose the target accurately and pick the weak ones.

For example, don’t mess with people who are in large numbers, as you won’t be able to get a boat; don’t mess with people who are well-organized, they might be militiamen fishing; it’s best not to attack Mexicans, they might be fellow travelers; now there’s another one, those white men in suits will turn their heads when they see it.

Just run.

As a wanted criminal, it's better to be careful and just stay alive.

Thiago touched his chin and stared at the distant horizon.

Bread is always available.

Suddenly, a group of people gradually appeared in his field of vision.

He narrowed his eyes.

This team seems to fit his requirements for robbery targets very well.

There were not many people in the team, consisting of a few horses and carriages. The formation was loose and there were men and women, old and young.

The leading man wore a gray mandarin jacket and a pale white top hat. He looked honest and honest, as if he was an Asian businessman. Next to him was a woman riding a white horse, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. The two of them had

Talking and laughing.

Behind them were a black man in a black cloth robe, a gentle-looking old man, and a white man with a pricked beard.

In addition to a few of them riding horses, behind the team were several carriages. The things on the carriages were covered with cloth. Judging from the external shape, some were barrels and some were boxes.

This is clearly a caravan.

Thiago smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost twitched.

The leader must be a wealthy Chinese businessman, and next to him is his wife. The old man is their housekeeper, and the one with the beard is probably the only bodyguard.

As for the black man, he looked like a servant, but he didn't understand why these black men deserved to ride horses.

"The carriage is coming! Block the bridge!" Tiago waved to his men, "Settle the ambush and get ready to start work!"

At this time, Chen Jianqiu, who was slowly walking towards the bridge, did not know that there was an ambush waiting for him ahead.

He was chatting with Camilla.

They talked about something about their hometown.

Camila's hometown is Puerto Rico. The Caribbean sea breeze gave her violet eyes, but also blew her and her family to the United States.

Then, she became an orphan.

Chen Jianqiu is also an orphan. Whether before or after time travel, he has no relatives or friends.

This should have been a very sad thing, but they quickly skipped the topic and came to their clothes this time. The more they talked, the happier they became.

"My aunt's craftsmanship is really good." Camilla said,

"Boss, why do we have to wear these clothes?" Sean raised an objection by pulling on his collar. He always felt that his elbows were uncomfortable.

"Then you can also choose to be naked." Chen Jianqiu turned around and replied.

His original clothes were jackets and leather coats.

However, among the second group of people sent to them by Zhang Danqian not long ago, there was a senior seamstress.

The old man originally opened a tailor shop in Denver's Chinatown, but it was smashed by a gang of Irishmen. Chen Jianqiu rescued them.

No matter what she said, she would dress him up.

Unexpectedly, the finished product that came out a few days later was very beautiful. Chen Jianqiu tried it on and found it fit perfectly and was very comfortable.

Since you have new clothes to wear, wear new ones.

Chen Jianqiu looked at the clothes that other people were wearing that were either torn or old. Thinking of the purpose of going to Santa Fe this time, he shamelessly asked the old lady to help him make a few more clothes.

Unexpectedly, the old lady agreed readily.

She pointed to the cloth she brought and asked them to choose.

Camilla chose red, Sean chose black, and the others chose gray.

Not only did she help make several sets of clothes, but she also gave Camilla an antique hairpin and tied up her hair for her.

"Oh, this girl is so handsome!" After the old lady changed Camilla's clothes, she looked up and down, full of praise.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla, who was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and her hair in a bun, and looked elegant, and then at Sean, who was wearing a black cloth robe next to him, and finally understood the differences between people.

What is earthy is not the clothes, but the people.

They got on the bridge.

Chen Jianqiu looked back at Sean's attire and couldn't help but laugh. He felt that this guy might not be thinking about choosing work clothes for him to work at night.

But he found that Sean pointed in the direction of the bridge: "Boss, is that a carriage?"

Before Sean could finish speaking, a group of people suddenly appeared at the bridge.

They all had guns in their hands.

"Everyone dismount! Put your hands up!"
