Chapter 38 Camp and Robbery
When Zhou Zheng rode it out of the stable the next day, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone near the stable. Everyone looked at this horse that was like a flame.
"Hey sir, if you want to sell this horse, please give me a price." There was an old gentleman who knew he loved horses at first sight and couldn't take his eyes away. He looked at Red Rabbit with both eyes and drooled from his mouth. He asked Zhou Zheng, who was sitting on the horse, without raising his head.
Chitu was very sensitive, and he was not used to being stared at like this. He kept snoring, digging his four hooves on the ground, pacing back and forth, trying to get out of here quickly.
Zhou Zheng touched the red rabbit and said, "I'm sorry, this little guy is not for sale. This is my treasure." Then, he pinched the horse's belly and the red rabbit received the order and immediately spread his hooves and ran towards the outside of the town.
The man was still standing there, looking at Chitu reluctantly. In the end, I could only reluctantly leave.
Back in the wild, the red rabbit was obviously very happy and ran around happily. Zhou Zheng let it go. He was not in a hurry to go back anyway, so he just let the horse run free.
When passing the Montana River, Zhou Zheng decided to stop and take a rest. It was already very close to Strawberry Town. He wanted to take a rest and pass through there in one breath at night. Only when he reached New Hanover where Valentine was located could he say it was safe.
At this time, each state in the United States was relatively independent. If you were wanted for breaking the law in this state, you would be safe if you went to another state. The Vanderlinde Gang was in a panic because they offended a big capitalist and were pursued by Pinkerton detectives hired by the capitalist.
That's right, the most powerful law enforcement agency of this era isn't the police, it's the Pinkerton detectives. Before the emergence of the CIA, FLB, etc., Pinkerton was the uncrowned king of this era. During the Civil War, they helped the Northern Army win the war, and they have been active in the top management of the United States as Lincoln's royal bodyguards, and are deeply loved by the upper class in the United States. trust.
It is worth mentioning that the people responsible for security when Lincoln was assassinated were not detectives from the Pinkerton Detective Agency, but the U.S. Army.
At its peak, Pinkerton had more than [-] detectives and more than [-] reservists, more than the U.S. Army at the time. They had cross-border law enforcement powers to fight against criminals everywhere, and served as bodyguards for the wealthy. , even the executioner.
Yes, Pinkerton has a particularly bad reputation in the United States. As the white gloves of the rich, they have repeatedly used spies and other methods to infiltrate workers' organizations, sabotage workers' activities, assassinate workers' leaders, and even directly shoot and kill protesting workers.
They fight criminals just for the bounty and have nothing to do with so-called justice. As long as they can make money, they can do anything.
Even in the [-]st century a lifetime ago, Pinkerton is still active on the world stage. It must be said that this is also an American legend.
After resting by the river for a while, Zhou Zheng was preparing to find a place to camp and rest. After walking around a bit, I found a camp on the top of a hill. It was strange how there could be a camp in the wilderness.
Zhou Zheng rode Chitu slowly towards the mountain. The mountain road was very rugged, but Chitu, who had grown up in the wild, said that it was just a piece of cake. He jumped up and down and quickly led Zhou Zheng to the edge of the camp.
Zhou Zheng carefully observed the camp. The camp was surrounded by wooden fences. There were several small tents inside. It looked like they were Indian tents. The entire camp looked dilapidated and dilapidated, with bulk items everywhere. Carts, tables and other large objects were shattered on the ground, as if they had been in a fierce battle, but clothes were still hanging on the clothesline.
It seems that all the Indians here must have been driven to the reservation, and those people didn't even give them time to pack their things.
As he walked, he tied Red Rabbit to the tree at the entrance of the camp. Seeing Zhou Zheng about to leave alone, General Red Rabbit called out. This little guy was quite clingy. Zhou Zheng comforted him for a while, pulled out his gun, and slowly walked into the camp. .
There is a small cabin in the middle of the camp, which looks eerie. I walked into the wooden house carefully and was surprised to find that it looked like a classroom.
There are rows of seats and blackboards on the walls, although these are now abandoned. The words "Run! Run! Run!" were written on the shattered blackboard. The words were written with such force that even after being abandoned here for so long, they are still clearly visible.
There was a stove at the back of the classroom, and a page of paper was placed above the stove. Zhou Zheng picked it up and looked at it. It was just some disorganized words, which should be used by children to practice spelling.
After putting the note away, Zhou Zheng came outside the house and walked around the camp again. After confirming that this was an uninhabited camp, he felt relieved and prepared to rest in the camp for a while. There is a bonfire set up with stones in the middle of the camp, light it, and prepare to boil some water to drink.
The little guy Chitu was still a little afraid of fire. When he saw the fire, he hurriedly backed away, but he was reluctant to part with the biscuit in Zhou Zheng's hand. He waited pitifully and looked at Zhou Zheng with his big eyes, and fed him all the biscuits with a smile. I just sat down by the campfire, preparing to take a nap for a while, as I had to go on my way in the evening.
At Riggs Station not far away, a well-planned robbery was in full swing. The O'Drisco gang robbed a train. They kicked the passengers off the train and killed all the men and old people. The woman was escorted to a carriage, seemingly ready to be taken back.
The eyes of several impatient gangsters were shining and they were staring at these poor women. They could no longer bear it any longer.
"Damn it, please behave yourself. These women have to be sent back to the bosses first, and then it's our turn." Seeing how anxious his subordinates were, a leader kicked one of them in the butt. He gave another sweet date and said: "You guys performed well this time. I can give you a few more days to play with later, haha."
The few minions immediately nodded and bowed, and the compliments made him feel like he was about to ascend to heaven. "Okay, hurry up and pack your things and prepare to evacuate. The wind here has been relatively tight recently. We have to rush to New Hanover. We have a point in Valentine. We can sell all these jewelry there."
Several gangsters immediately loaded the stolen goods into the truck, and the group of people drove the carriages and horses to prepare to run away.
When the convoy passed through a forest, it was getting a little dark. The leader decided to find a place to camp and take a rest. He was already very tired after a day of toil. Besides, the state border was in front of him. Even if he was discovered, he could just run over and take a rest. It's safe.
The women were rushed to a fire, and two men were watching over them. Their eyes kept turning back and forth on the women, but they did not dare to take action due to the bad reputation of the elder brothers.
It was already late at night, and the two gangsters who were guarding the woman were already taking a nap against the tree. Isabella looked around carefully.
I don't know if these gangsters are brave or simply fearless. Except for the two gangsters who were already drowsy, the others were fast asleep in the camp.
Her brother died in the daytime battle. The two of them originally went to Saint Denis to find his brother's fiancée without telling the family, but they didn't expect...
Holding back the tears in their eyes, they slowly pulled the hands tied behind their backs up and down. The gangsters were very careless. They were sure that these women did not dare to run away, so they just tied their hands behind their backs hastily. This was just right. Gives Isabella a chance to escape.
She must run back to Blackwater Town. She must go back and tell her father that he will lead people to avenge her brother.
The rope was not tied tightly, and with Isabella's efforts, it soon showed signs of loosening. She didn't dare to move too much for fear of waking up the gangsters. The night was long anyway, so she wasn't in a hurry.
Finally, the rope had been loosened to a certain extent, and Isabella's slender wrists were able to break free. She carefully observed the person who was looking after her. After making sure that the person was asleep, she looked at those who were captured together. Poor woman.
They cried and fussed during the day, spending all their energy crying, and now they are all asleep. We can't save them now. If the noise gets louder, none of them will be able to escape.
