America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 233 About Parents and Justice

At this moment, he was in a state of confusion.

Although this city is called a "lawless place", it is only because the law enforcement group controlled by Scott and the group behind him turns a blind eye to some cases involving civilians.

But it doesn't mean that dozens of people died outside the city and no one took care of them.

The news quickly spread to the city, and the city government was so shocked that they mobilized the state militia stationed nearby.

A team of militiamen and police quickly arrived at the scene of the crime.

They found bodies lying strewn about near the railroad tracks:

There were members of the Grange - the small farmers nearby, security personnel and Chinese workers from the Santa Fe Railroad Company; and many unidentified people wearing triangular scarves.

But the identities of these people were soon revealed. They were from an unofficial organization called the "Knights of Albuquerque."

Other members of the organization were caught by law enforcement forces as they fled for their lives.

According to their identification, the leader of the organization, a man named Bourne, had died at the scene.

During their interrogation, law enforcement officers learned that the Santa Fe Company had a security team that was extremely capable and even used Gatling to carry out strafing operations.

As for what they said about one person from the security force who killed thirteen people in an instant, who ran so fast that bullets could not hit him, etc., the law enforcement officers only regarded them as shadows and hallucinations formed after being swept away by Gatling.

Blake was also "tightly protected" by law enforcement officers, his security captain was taken away, and the entire company compound was under control.

Someone needs to take responsibility for this heinous incident.

Scott, who was far away in Santa Fe, remained silent at this time.

From Albuquerque to Santa Fe, rumors spread everywhere about the so-called "Knights" and their unclear relationship with the "Santa Fe Group".

Scott stayed in his office, eager to dig the dead Bourne out of the soil and shoot him again.

His request to Bourne was to use his appeal among racists to win votes for himself.

But I never thought that this man would threaten Blake, let alone that he would go so crazy and openly try to cause massacre around Albuquerque.

This guy deserved it when he lost his life, but the worst thing is that he made himself miserable now.

There is really no useful person around me.

He rang the bell on the table.

The secretary trotted in from the door and stood beside him respectfully, listening to his instructions.

"Get ready to get off the carriage. I'm going to the newspaper office."

Scott sighed.

…

Albuquerque, west of the city, by the pier.

Chen Jianqiu took off a bag from Heiluobo's back, then took out a small gold bar from the bag and threw it into Gonzalez's hand.

"Final payment."

The Mexican captain took the gold bar, rubbed it in his hand, raised it, looked at the sun, put it in his pocket, and smiled happily.

"If you have anything to do next time you come to Albuquerque, you can come to me," Gonzalez said. "As long as you have money, I can help you with almost anything in this place."

"Then help me get a few more carriages." Chen Jianqiu turned around and saw the Chinese workers, all looking at him.

He walked up to Luo Yonggui and took off the triangle scarf on his face.

Under the triangular scarf, a young, yellow-skinned face was revealed.

A burst of cheers instantly broke out among the Chinese workers.

Although they had heard this man speaking Chinese before, it was still a bit unbelievable without seeing his face with their own eyes.

In this country, there really is a compatriot who will lead people to save them.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Jianqiu asked Luo Yonggui.

"We will follow you." Luo Yonggui said firmly.

"How many of you came to the United States to make some money and then go back?" Chen Jianqiu looked around them and said something that didn't sound relevant.

Everyone looked at each other.

In fact, most of them were tricked into being piggies.

Because I heard that the land is full of gold, because I heard that the land is fertile and wild for thousands of miles.

"I, we can't go back." The old man with the goatee looked old on his face and sighed, "Our home is ruined."

"This is not paradise." Chen Jianqiu stared at him, "If you are willing to follow me, I hope you can give up your illusions in the future."

"Everyone around you will be your family, treat them well."

"Lift your heads, straighten your backs, and regain your dignity."

Some of the Chinese workers understood, some seemed to understand, but most of them looked at a loss.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything more.

No matter how they react, it won't be long before these people understand.

"What about you?" He turned to the blond young man, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The blond young man had just gotten off the boat, his arm was bandaged, and he was standing behind Chen Jianqiu, hesitant, as if he was preparing to say something to Chen Jianqiu.

Just now on the boat, he learned that his father and mother were now together with Chen Jianqiu.

So, when Chen Jianqiu took the initiative to call him, the young man was startled: "Well, my name is Holly Romney."

"Come with us." Chen Jianqiu held a cigarette in his mouth and tilted his head towards him, "Your parents miss you very much."

Holly was a little hesitant. He wanted to follow these people, but he didn't know how to face his father.

Seeing Holly's expression, Chen Jianqiu waved to the others, signaling them to prepare for their departure.

And he put his arm around Holly's shoulders and took him to the side, to a deserted place on the pier.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jianqiu asked him.

"Ever since I can remember, my parents have been taking me to evade pursuit." Huo Li looked at Chen Jianqiu and said, "He used to be a brave man who couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes."

"In my memory, he and his mother have been fighting against those evil people and helping the weak. At that time, he was the person I admired the most."

"It wasn't until we got to Pitkin and settled there that my father disappeared."

Holly's eyes looked extremely sad.

"He knew exactly who the Phelps family was. He was either doing things for those people or turning a blind eye to their crimes."

"My god began to disappear from that moment. Pitkin's days could be seen at a glance, which disappointed me."

"So, I left Pitkin with a few young guys from my town and came to New Mexico."

"In the past few years, I have been fighting those villains, fighting hyena gangs, and exchanging gunfire with train robbers, just to prove to my father that justice! is indelible."

Holly's eyes began to sparkle again, like a ball of fire.

"Is this why you disappeared?" Chen Jianqiu laughed.

Holly was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Yes, the few young people who came out together wanted to go back, so I acted alone."

Chen Jianqiu glanced at this young man who was actually about the same age as himself, and then turned to look at the Grand River.

Blake was escorted by the security captain and returned to Albuquerque.

"I don't know who my parents are, or rather, they haven't been with me since I can remember. I don't know whether they are dead or alive."

Chen Jianqiu squatted down, picked up a stone from beside him, and threw it towards the Rio Grande.

The stone fell into the river with a thud, causing a splash of water, but it quickly disappeared.

The Rio Grande was still flowing so quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.

Whether before or after time travel, Chen Jianqiu was an orphan. He used to be extremely envious of those children of the same age who could nestle in the arms of their parents and have someone who cared about them.

"Your parents love you very much." Chen Jianqiu stood up and patted Holly on the shoulder. "Justice is always there. He will always look at you on the way here, just like your parents."

He passed by Holly and walked towards the crowd again.
