America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 228 The Captain Who Sells Information

A group of people returned to Albuquerque and arrived at the door of a hotel in the city.

Chen Jianqiu found that the blond young man was still following them.

"What's wrong? Peter Pan? Is there anything else?" He turned to look at the young man.

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Are you going to fight with the 'Knights' gang tomorrow? I hope I can help."

Chen Jianqiu looked him up and down.

This young man was about the same age as me, in his mid-twenties, but he exuded a youthful energy.

However, Chen Jianqiu generally does not choose to act with people of unknown origin, because this will make the action full of uncertainty.

"Thank you, but I think our purposes may be different." Chen Jianqiu declined politely.

The blond boy's face was a little disappointed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Well, I wish you good luck." He stretched out his hand to Chen Jianqiu.

"I also wish you good luck." Chen Jianqiu shook his hand.

Early the next morning, Chen Jianqiu walked out of the room neatly dressed.

He saw the bartender who was cleaning the bar, so he walked up and slapped a fifty-cent coin on the bar.

When the bartender turned his head and saw the coin, he immediately turned to Chen Jianqiu with a smile: "What can I do for you, sir?"

"Do you know where the best place in Albuquerque is for information about gangs?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

The bartender looked Chen Jianqiu up and down.

Although he was curious about why this yellow-skinned man wanted to inquire about this, he still told Chen Jianqiu: "At the west dock of the city, on the edge of the Rio Grande, there is a small wooden house, and there is a Mexican named Gonzalez inside."

"You can find out what you want to know if you find him." After Bar said, he reached out to get the coin, but Chen Jianqiu unexpectedly flicked the coin into his hand.

Just when he was about to raise his head to thank him, he found that Chen Jianqiu had already walked out of the hotel door.

The Rio Grande runs through the city. The shipping on the river is not dead, but it is definitely not lively. There are only a few small boats traveling back and forth on the river.

At the pier in the west of the city, Chen Jianqiu saw a small wooden house.

Next to the wooden house, a bearded Mexican man was packing things on the dock.

"Are you Gonzalez?" Chen Jianqiu walked up to the Mexican and asked directly.

"What's wrong?" The Mexican glanced lazily at Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu put his hand into his clothes, and when he came out of his clothes, there was a one-dollar bill on it.

"If so, I would like to ask you for some paid information." He said.

Gonzalez didn't seem surprised at all. He took the dollar from Chen Jianqiu's hand and said, "Ask what information."

"Do you have any relevant news about the rally organized by the Grange Farmers Mutual Aid Association this afternoon?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"Those gangsters want to go to Blake's construction site through protests to hinder the continued laying of the railway in order to gain the capital to negotiate with Blake." Gonzalez said casually, "His vice president was drinking last night.

You told me when you were there.”

"Protest? Hold a sign and hang it downstairs in Blake's office?" Chen Jianqiu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, but I can tell you that Blake will take his armed guards to the construction site tomorrow." After speaking, Gonzalez stretched out his hand to Chen Jianqiu, "This is the second point.

, additional charges are required.”

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "This is not valuable, and I can't possibly tie him up. He has about twenty armed guards."

"Aha!" Gonzalez glanced at Chen Jianqiu, "I roughly understand what you are going to do."

"I have a lot of treasures here, you will definitely need them." Gonzalez looked a little excited, and he motioned for Chen Jianqiu to follow him into the hut, "The price is affordable, and you can be honest."

Chen Jianqiu looked around and then followed him into the hut.

Gonzalez opened up his bed and took out wooden boxes one after another.

He found a crowbar from behind the door and pried open two of the boxes.

Bundles of explosives.

"Do you usually sleep on explosives?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Gonzalez, "I want these."

The bearded man smiled, revealing his yellow teeth, and one of the middle front teeth was missing.

"I can also tell you something. Bourne's "Knights" will come to disrupt the situation tomorrow. These people are here for the Chinese workers. There are close to a hundred of Bourne's men."

Gonzalez observed Chen Jianqiu's reaction, but found nothing. His expression was unusually calm.

"Where is the construction site?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"The railroad runs down the Rio Grande, and the construction site is right on the river bank."

"If you are willing to pay, I can help you contact some surrounding gangs, but I don't know if anyone is willing to take the job." Gonzalez is still trying to get the job, "If you have money, I can help you with anything.

Got it.”

Chen Jianqiu ignored him, but walked out of the hut, stood on the dock and looked around.

He didn't dare to be interested in those rabble.

His eyes stopped on something that looked more reliable.

In the afternoon, everyone was sitting in the corner of the hotel lobby, wiping the parts of their guns, when they saw Chen Jianqiu walking in from the hotel door carrying a big bag.

He walked to the table where everyone was sitting and began to take things out of the bag one by one.

Explosives, Molotov cocktails, poisoned hand axes...

"Boss, where did you get these things?" Hanif looked on and was dumbfounded.

"You need to know what a 'lawless place' is." Chen Jianqiu distributed the things to everyone, "If you can think of it, you can buy it here."

"Boss, we seem to be late." Sean pointed to the door of the hotel.

Suddenly, bursts of slogans came from outside the hotel, in the direction of the square.

Then, the sound gradually weakened as the distance became farther.

"When did I say I was going to attend their rally?" Chen Jianqiu tilted his head and looked at Sean.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Jianqiu looked unhurried and continued to disassemble and assemble his revolver.

After a while, Chen Jianqiu finally stood up.

"Is everyone ready? Bring some dry food and get ready to go." Chen Jianqiu looked around the crowd and said.

Everyone carried their things and walked out of the hotel gate. They mounted their horses and followed Chen Jianqiu.

What they didn't expect was that Chen Jianqiu did not take them out of the city, but directly to a dock on the bank of the Grand River.

A small steamer was docked at the pier.

"Get off your horse and get on the boat. What are you doing standing there in a daze?" Chen Jianqiu took the lead in boarding the boat and gave the Mexican captain a high-five.

"Hey, boss, where did you get this?" Sean looked amazed.

"It's for rent." Chen Jianqiu leaned against the side of the boat, "You should bring your guns, there are bullets here."

After everyone got on the boat, with a sharp sound of steam whistle, the boat started to move.

The boat sails down the Rio Grande and has a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides.

And they soon heard bursts of slogans coming from the river bank.

Correspondingly, everyone could gradually see clearly how the members of the Granqi were dressed and the signs they were holding.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked at the parade.

He did not find the members dressed as "Knights". They either had not arrived yet, or they had changed into ordinary clothes and hid themselves in the parade.

The ship kept a certain distance from the river bank, and Chen Jianqiu asked Gonzalez to slow down the ship.

Because the construction site of the railway under construction is not far ahead.
