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

Tumbleweed Town is a small town with a small population.

Most of the people here were left over from the gold rush in the West. At that time, according to people's legends, the West was filled with gold, and you could dig up gold with just a shovel.

A large number of immigrants ran to the West Coast from the Old World, but only a handful of them actually struck gold.

Tumbleweed was a surprise because he actually had gold. There are also some other mineral resources, so the residents here are basically miners from nearby mines.

Although Michelle and his Howling Wolf Gang occupy a large gold mine, there are still several large and small mineral veins nearby, and these mineral veins are basically the property of various large companies.

No matter how powerful Michelle and the Howling Wolf Gang are, there is no way they can capture all of these mineral veins.

You know, the power of these giant companies is not something Michelle can afford. Along the way, Zhou Zheng has seen the signs of several large companies.

This is very wrong. Why do these large companies allow Michelle to occupy the most fertile gold mine? You know, although these companies are rich, they are not so arrogant that they don't care about a gold mine.

The situation here may be more complicated than imagined. Zhou Zheng couldn't help but frowned. Maybe this Michelle was just a facade launched by these companies.

Seeing Zhou Zheng's frown, Charles asked quietly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said nothing. These were just his guesses. Saying them now would only make everyone more worried.

"Johnny, you go to the tavern and ask for news, such as what's going on with the Howling Wolf Gang recently, or something else." Zhou Zheng looked at Johnny behind him and said, "You will stay in the tavern from now on. I will come if anything happens." Looking for you."

Johnny had worked as a bounty hunter, so he was more suitable to inquire about some information than people like John and Arthur.

Johnny nodded, then turned around and went to the tavern alone. This kind of thing was familiar to him.

"As for the rest of us, let's go directly to Michelle." Michelle's manor is very conspicuous, located on a hillside behind Tumbleweed Town.

The four people rode horses straight to Michelle's manor. When Arthur told the guard guarding their purpose of coming and handed him a letter written by William, it didn't take long before a man who looked like a butler ran out in a hurry. He welcomed them in respectfully.

This letter is both true and false. The reason for lying is naturally because this letter was written by Zhou Zheng himself.

And if it is true, it is naturally because Zhou Zheng is William's only son-in-law and will definitely be the heir to William's family business in the future, so these necessary things have already been given to Zhou Zheng.

In addition, Zhou Zheng has to travel around a lot for business, so it is naturally impossible for William to sit at home and write letters to Zhou Zheng every day while he is far away in Blackwater Town.

William had also laid down long ago. The son died, and the nephew who had high hopes became a son-in-law. He is still locked up in the basement of William's manor. William will whip him whenever he is in a bad mood.

The only remaining daughter married Zhou Zheng, so Zhou Zheng's son-in-law is no different from his son. In addition, he is not too young. If his daughter-in-law's career had not been stable, he would have retired long ago.

Although William is the councilman of Blackwater Town, as a well-known large rancher, he naturally has this face.

Moreover, the location of Blackwater Town is dangerous, and Michelle’s own goods are basically transported through Blackwater Town. Although they have not had any friendship over the years, they are no strangers to him. Michelle also knew that William had a son-in-law from Mr. Huang.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Zhou Zheng sat on the sofa in the living room domineeringly, and the other three stood in a row behind him, looking very imposing.

As soon as Zhou Zheng took a few sips of coffee, Michelle came out, followed by a set routine of meeting, saluting, and greetings. This aristocratic thing is so simple and unpretentious.

With Isabella's help over the years, Zhou Zheng has become quite familiar with this set of things, so naturally he won't let anyone find fault with it.

Michelle is a fat, middle-aged white man who looks very wealthy. It is impossible to connect the smiling fat man in front of him with the Howling Wolf Gang, which commits all kinds of evil and commits murder.

Zhou Zheng was looking at Michelle, and Michelle was looking around at Zhou Zheng. At first he heard that Mr. William, the councilor of Blackwater Town, had found a yellow man as his son-in-law. He thought it was a joke, but later he found out that it was true.

This made him even more curious. You must know that yellow people in this era are at the bottom of the contempt chain. What kind of charm does this Zhou Zheng have that can make the eldest lady of the William family admire him?

He looked at Zhou Zheng, then at the three strong men behind Zhou Zheng, and suddenly understood that the yellow man in front of him was probably not a good person. But this is normal. Shantu will not survive long in this chaotic era.

The two chatted for a while, pretending to be familiar with each other. Arthur stood behind, looking at the two people's fake appearance, and couldn't help curling his lips.

After chatting for a long time, Zhou Zheng finally got to the point, and Zhou Zheng blew off the words he had thought up on the road.

Zhou Zheng wants to own a small number of coal mines, which is not enough to impress Michelle, but he is very interested in food processing plants and has implicitly expressed that he wants to get involved.

This is normal. Zhou Zheng had observed it when he came here. Although there are many mineral veins in Tumbleweed Town, the land is barren. Let alone farming, don’t even think about grazing. The people in the town can only rely on trains once a week for food. to deliver.

If there really was a food processing factory that could deliver goods here stably, then the money would be quite a lot of money.

Zhou Zheng spoke half-truths and half-truths. He really had a ranch and really wanted to build a food processing factory. Naturally, all plans and goals were well-planned, leaving Michelle no doubt.

Michelle listened with interest, but Zhou Zheng's next words made him hesitate.

"I heard that the Howling Wolf Gang in the New Austin area kills people and sells goods. They do all kinds of evil. Even the police dare not provoke them. Some time ago, a small processing factory was robbed by the Howling Wolf Gang. How can Mr. Michel guarantee my goods? Where’s the safety?”

"Um..." Michelle hesitated. He couldn't defend this topic. He couldn't say that the Howling Wolf Gang only robbed others and wouldn't rob him.

He glanced mysteriously at Arthur and others behind Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng understood clearly and waved for the three of them to go down first.

Arthur and others looked at Zhou Zheng worriedly, Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, and then the three people exited and stood at the door.

"The things behind the Howling Wolf Gang are very complicated. All I can say is that you can rest assured." Michelle whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear and said, "I know there are many people outside who are spreading rumors that I am the Howling Wolf Gang." But I can only tell you that behind the scenes, it’s not that simple.”
