He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Zhou Zheng naturally had no idea that so many things were happening in Saint-Denis. He was sitting in the office behind the casino happily collecting money.

It's been a week since his tavern and casino opened, and business has been booming this week, to the point where it's hard to get a table.

Thanks to the free publicity provided by a large number of workers in the early stage, there was an endless stream of guests coming from many ranches near Strawberry Town.

Of course, this is also because Strawberry Town is a prohibition town. You must know that most people like to drink two drinks when gambling or eating, but this is not possible in Strawberry Town.

In the past, they could only take the time to go to Valentine or Blackwater Town to have a drink, or they could hide at home and drink secretly, but now they can drink here at Zhou Zheng, which makes them overjoyed.

Of course, Zhou Zheng also paid a heavy price for this.

The mayor of Strawberry Town couldn't really just watch Zhou Zheng making a lot of money here and ignore it. Even with William's connections, it wouldn't be enough.

For this reason, Zhou Zheng had to sign an unequal agreement with the mayor of Strawberry Town, including but not limited to paying a large amount of protection fees.

But it was all worth it. With the acquiescence and connivance of Strawberry Town, he completely took over the business in this area near Strawberry Town.

Listening to the bustle of people in the casino outside, Zhou Zheng didn't think for the first time that the crowd was a noisy thing.

"How's it going? How much money have we made these days?" Arthur happily opened the door and asked happily when he saw Zhou Zheng counting money.

"Of course, you know, we will become rich soon." Zhou Zheng shook the banknotes in his hand towards Arthur.

"Hahaha, that's great." Arthur laughed, then closed the door, sat opposite Zhou Zheng and said mysteriously: "I just heard some news, I think you must be very interested."

"What news makes you so excited?" Zhou Zheng looked curiously at Arthur, who was rubbing his hands in excitement. It's not common for news to make this guy so excited.

"Listen." Arthur leaned closer and whispered: "I asked a drunk drinker that they used to buy wine from the grocer in Strawberry Town."

Zhou Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, the owner of the grocery store has channels to purchase goods?"

"Of course not. If it's such a trivial matter, do I need to say it?" Arthur curled his lips and said disdainfully.

He has a big vision now, and he doesn't care about a little bit of money.

"That boss can make moonshine by himself, and he has a complete set of equipment." Arthur told the news he knew: "The person who told me the news was an old alcoholic. He once bought something in that grocery store and smelled something There was a little smell of alcohol, and then he hid nearby to observe, and found out that there was a basement under the grocery store, where the boss was making moonshine."

"Do you think we can get him?" This news is good, and Zhou Zheng is indeed interested.

"This news is good, we can..." Before Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Arthur said enthusiastically: "I checked, and behind that boss is a small gang called the Laremy Gang. .”

Arthur picked up the wine on the wine cabinet and poured a glass for both of them: "I have also inquired about this Laremy gang. It is a small local gang. There are only a dozen people and there is nothing to fear." Arthur was confident "As long as we enter the store and point the gun at him, the guy will definitely deliver the things obediently," he said.

"I'm not worried about those little gangsters, I'm worried about other things." Zhou Zheng rubbed his head helplessly. Why did this Arthur keep robbing him? Didn't he just return the golden basin and wash his hands?

Zhou Zheng organized the words in his mind, and then said in a gentle tone: "We have just established a foothold and started to make money. If something happens again..."

"It's okay if it's in the wild, but that place is in Strawberry Town. We can't make trouble in Strawberry Town. Arthur, we are not robbers now." This sentence made Arthur stunned in place, and he slowly put down his wine glass. .

"Yes, we are not robbers now." He smiled a little lonely: "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and then said: "First find a stranger and let him go to the grocery store to pretend to be a wine buyer and see what the reaction is. If the situation is true, let Trelawney go and take a look. Can we cooperate?"

Arthur spread his hands and said with some disappointment: "Then leave it to you, I can't help you with this." After that, he took the wine and pushed the door open and walked out.

Zhou Zheng looked at Arthur's lonely back and felt that he had to have a good talk with Hosea.

Zhou Zheng could completely understand what Arthur was thinking. He felt that he didn't know what to do.

He is different from others. He grew up in a gang. He has been robbing and killing people since he was a child. He doesn't know anything else. When something happens, his instinct is to grab it.

But everyone else is different. Whether it is Zhou Zheng, Trelawny, Strauss, or even Hosea and Charles, everyone has experienced a normal life, and everyone can quickly find their suitable position.

And John, who had the same experience as him, also began to experience this situation.

Zhou Zheng always felt that Arthur's desire to retire was entirely due to Hosea's influence, just like he had been influenced by Dutch since he was a child.

This matter must be settled as soon as possible, let Hosea persuade him, and find something for him to do so that he has no time to think about things.

Just do it. Zhou Zheng was no longer in the mood to count money. He packed up everything, locked it in the safe, and walked out of the office.

As soon as he walked out of the office, he heard a group of noisy voices. Zhou Zheng followed the sound and walked closer to see that it was Arthur fighting with a drunk man.

The guy was drunk and couldn't stand firm in the fight. He was no match for Arthur, and he was beaten to a pulp by Arthur.

When Arthur was feeling depressed, he grew evil, and he clenched his fist and was about to hit the guy on the head, but he didn't expect that his fist was grabbed by someone.

He looked back and saw that it was Zhou Zheng who caught him.

"What's going on?" Before Zhou Zheng could finish speaking, two more drunk guys rushed up. One guy held a bottle and smashed it down from Arthur's back.

Zhou Zheng grabbed Arthur's fist, pulled him away, raised his right foot and kicked the man in the chest. This kick directly sent the guy flying and hit the gaming table next to him hard.

Another man wanted to draw his gun, but Zhou Zheng stepped forward, held down his gun-holding hand, and punched him hard on the head.

"Come here, get all the troublemakers out of here."
