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

Chapter 55 Scolding and Gifts

The four of them happily arrived at Jade Ranch. Arthur first sent the horse to the stable and asked the boss to customize saddles, bridles and other harnesses. Then he went to the tavern and bought two full boxes of wine, shouting that he would not come home until he was drunk today.

The three of them had been nervous in the forest for so long, and finally arrived at a safe place. They all started drinking wildly. Albert usually lived alone in the wild, and rarely met friends, so he followed a few People hooked up and got excited.

Several people drank from the afternoon until midnight, and then staggered back to their respective rooms at the urging of the tavern owner.

The next day, the three of them said goodbye to Albert. He was going to Saint-Denis. The only photo development equipment nearby was there. Albert's home was also there. He handed Arthur an address and welcomed Arthur very much. Go as a guest.

Afterwards, several people returned to the camp on horseback.

The three of them had been away for half a month, and everyone in the camp was very worried about them. When Dutch asked them why they were there, Arthur told him completely what had happened in the past few days. This made Dutch very angry.

He was angry because Zhou Zheng and others took action on such a big matter without consulting him, and he was worried that something might happen to them. He had been in a bad mood these past few days.

Seeing that the three of them had returned safely and that no parts were missing, he finally smiled, but then with a straight face, he pulled the three of them aside and cursed them. The three of them stood neatly with their heads lowered. Meet the boss's wrath.

Zhou Zheng originally wanted to tell Da Qi about Wei Xin, but seeing Da Qi's angry look, he decided to wait two days.

"Huh, I didn't expect Daqi to be quite cruel when he got angry..." When Daqi finally scolded enough, the three of them sat by the campfire, Zhou Zheng said with lingering fear.

"He used to do this a lot, but not much these years." Arthur said nonchalantly, this guy is already an old man.

"Let's keep a low profile recently, Zhou. Don't go out recently. Your skin color is too conspicuous here, and your injury hasn't healed yet." Charles suggested.

"No problem. By the way, Arthur, when you go to Valentine, help me see if there is any letter from me." When Zhou Zheng came back, he still told Arthur and Charles about William. Zhou Zheng felt that these two people were You can trust the brothers behind you, there is no need to hide these things from them.

"Okay, I'll go there when I have free time in the next two days." Arthur stretched, yawned twice and said, "And now, I have to have a good sleep."

When Arthur came back from Valentine, Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded looking at the big box that Arthur brought back.

"What is this?" This box looked very expensive. Zhou Zheng and Arthur walked out of the camp and found a hidden place to open the box. When Arthur saw the contents inside, even if he was well-informed, , and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Inside the box is a revolver, the model is the Schofield pistol used by Zhou Zheng, but this is not important, the important thing is that this gun is simply a work of art! ! !

The overall body of the gun is white, but the material is not the stuff sold in gun stores at first glance. It is indeed engraved with complex patterns. If you look closely, you can see that one side is a rose and the other side is a four-leaf clover.

The lines are filled with golden lines, and the extended barrel is engraved with a sentence: "May the God of Luck bless you"

Translated, it means may the god of luck favor you.

"I think you should just go to Blackwater Town and join that rich woman, and maybe you can become her son-in-law." Arthur looked at the pistol in front of him and said with a bit of jealousy: "Wait until I rob your house. Remember to tell me when you get something, and I’ll give you a [-]-[-] reward if I get it, how about it?”

Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes at Arthur, this guy was jealous of Chi Guoguo. Looking into the box, there were two letters. Zhou Zheng took out the letters, one was from William and the other was from Isabella.

First, he opened William's letter. It was not long. First of all, William was very satisfied with Zhou Zheng's destruction of the stronghold of Valentine's Odrisco gang. At the same time, he sent people to the Drooping Dog Ranch, and sure enough, Odris was found there. There are a lot of people from the Co Gang, but William can't send out the police to wipe them out now, and because of some things, he can't trust Pinkerton now, so he wants Zhou Zheng to find a way to wipe out the O'Drisco Gang there. And be quick, he will give Zhou Zheng a generous reward.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng and Arthur looked at each other. Arthur hesitated and said, "Do you think this person can be trusted?"

Zhou Zheng was also a little unsure: "When I met him before, he seemed to have a good relationship with Pinkerton, but now he says he doesn't believe Pinkerton. What does this mean?"

"Look at your little lover, maybe she will tell you." Arthur took out Isabella's letter and pretended to open it.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly grabbed it: "Hey buddy, no one told you not to read other people's letters casually."

"Haha, sure enough, something must have happened between you." Arthur smiled as if his trick had succeeded. Of course he would not open other people's letters casually. He was just trying to scare Zhou Zheng.

Isabella's letter was much longer. First, there was a burst of nagging concern and thanks to Zhou Zheng for saving her, and she complained about why he left in a hurry last time. She didn't even have time to entertain Zhou Zheng properly, and also explained that the gun was She asked the master to customize a thank you gift.

Seeing Zhou Zheng gradually frowning, Arthur couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong, do you have a child?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Zheng found that since he had been hanging out with Arthur for a long time, this guy's mouth was getting more and more clueless.

Later in the letter, Isabella explained her father's situation in detail.

To put it simply, there have always been two major forces in Blackwater Town, one is the ranchers and police represented by William, and the other is the port logistics company and local gangs represented by the Roberts family.

Since William's son was killed by the O'Drisco gang, Roberts used this incident to attack William. The police are useless and they can't protect their own sons. How can they protect Blackwater Town and carry out Vanderlin? In the case of the German Gang, the accusation was that the port was robbed because of the incompetence of the police, so they should abolish the police and instead establish a special defense force to clear out gangs like Van der Linde and siege the city.

At the same time, Cornwall also put a lot of effort into it. He has always wanted to expand his power to Blackwater Town, because the port of Blackwater Town is the largest deep-water port nearby and has reciprocal trade policies with many states. , to put it simply, it is a tax reduction. More importantly, his goods can go directly from the port of Blackwater Town to the west coast. There are not even people in many places there. It is simply a place of wealth.

To build a factory, a large amount of land is required, and the land in Blackwater Town is basically in the hands of William or his allies. Naturally, Cornwall is eyeing William's ranch and wants to buy it. How could William agree to a large ranch? His voters are basically ranchers and herdsmen. If he were to sell the ranch, wouldn't he be asking him to get out?

Cornwall and Roberts hit it off right now. One wants to build a factory in Blackwater Town, and the other wants to attack political opponents. What's even better is that the two main businesses not only do not conflict with each other, but also complement each other. Now they are simply chosen allies. . Roberts promised to sell a large amount of high-quality land near Blackwater Town to Cornwall at a low price after the event was completed, and Cornwall reciprocated, promising that all future goods would be transported by Roberts' logistics company.

After Zhou Zheng figured out the matter, he explained the cause of the matter to Arthur in detail, which made Arthur very disgusted. He bluntly said that this was a political game of capitalists.
