Chapter 996: On this land, we are the law!

Among the hidden mountains, the blast furnace was constantly burning.

Under the rolling thick smoke, the pitch-black negroes were working diligently.

Watching this scene, the Krieger holding the whip watched quietly.

Coming from the distance, Lai Fujie waved his hand and said: "Qiu, these are the new workers, let them get familiar with the environment!"

Hearing Lai Fujie’s words, Qiu, who walked up, said excitedly: "Are there newcomers again? That's really great!"

When the initial three hundred miners developed into thousands of people today, Zhang Cheng’s "high-paying recruitment" was undoubtedly very successful.

After all, in the West of this era, if you want to earn one dollar a day, besides being a train robber, you have to join a gang!

Don't think that the so-called gangs here are proper terms; they are people similar to robbers, but they all do things like killing and looting!

Although there was no strict structure like the Italian "Mafia," the most important thing was that they dared to rob anyone, without any bottom line!

Just as the hesitant people were brought into the mine, they realized that everything here was a lie.

There was no high-paying job, no warm house, and even, they didn't have any wages!

"Get in there and work, or I'll smash your heads!"

Letting the Indians on the side teach them the rules, Qiu picked up the cigarette sent over and put it in his mouth: "I like this!"

"Smoke less, this is not good for your health!"

Looking at Qiu on the side, Lai Fujie, who walked up, turned serious.

And hearing Lai Fujie’s words, Qiu smiled and said: "God will make me live forever!"

Looking at Qiu, Lai Fujie was completely speechless.

However, just as people were pushing and shoving, gunshots rang out.

Watching a cowboy pull his gun, shoot down the guard beside him, and rush out, Qiu roared: "Scalp him and hang it on the railing for me!"

Following Qiu’s words, the whistling hoofbeats rang out, and the Indians immediately rushed out.

Before long, after the man was hung high, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

Because they finally understood where they had come to!

Big Whiskey town,

Zhang Cheng, who was counting banknotes, threw them to Tristan and said: "These are yours, remember to hand them to your father, Colonel William, for safekeeping!"

"I'm already an adult, boss!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Tristan couldn't help but complain.

"So what?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Cheng looked at Tristan and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

And hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Tristan walked up and said: "Aren't you going to California? How about taking me with you?"

"You also want to go to California?"

Looking at Tristan curiously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease.

"That's right, I haven't been to California yet!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng excitedly, Tristan smiled.

"I'll take you with me then, but someone needs to stay here to prevent anyone from destroying the mine!"

Patting Tristan on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Can you recommend your big brother?"

"You mean Alfred?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Tristan was stunned.

Because he knew clearly that his brother would absolutely not participate in this matter; after all, what Zhang Cheng was doing was the act of a slave owner, even more brutal than the Southern plantation owners back in the day!

And how Tristan accepted all this was because Zhang Cheng gave him a reward of up to 2,000 dollars a month, plus a share of the mine.

Can people with a conscience make money? Of course they can!

But if you lose your conscience, you can make even more!

"No, boss, he won't agree!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Tristan quickly refused.

"Why? Doesn't he want to make money?"

Looking at Tristan curiously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

You have to know, before Tristan joined, Colonel William relied on the ranch to support the three brothers!

As for why their mother left, the nice way to put it was that she couldn't stand the loneliness, but what was the real situation? Was it because of poverty?

Because in Kansas, where ranches were everywhere, making money really wasn't a simple thing!

Before Tristan joined the police station, even their youngest brother, Samuel, wanting to go to college was a very difficult thing, because the tuition wasn't cheap!

It was precisely because Zhang Cheng was generous that even Tristan, who was full of "sense of justice," felt that he was right! Even if it was wrong, it was because these people didn't know what was good for them! After all, they provided free work, allowing these people to survive!

"Alfred is very disciplined!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Tristan finally said this sentence.

"So what? On this land, we are the law!"

Stretching his hands out, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Tristan and say: "Let him come to see me, I believe he won't refuse!"

Looking at Tristan in front of him, Zhang Cheng understood that he hadn't told his family what he was doing at all.

But as a boss, Zhang Cheng naturally had to help his subordinates "explain" clearly.

After all, making money isn't shameful, it's just a matter of means!

If you ask him, this is all Lincoln’s fault; the negroes were fine as slaves, but he had to go and emancipate them!

Back then, they had faith, and they were so hardworking in the cotton fields.

Now it's good, that bastard started the North-South War, almost splitting the whole country, and in the future, he was even pulled down from the high platform by the negroes he emancipated!

Zhang Cheng: I smashed your skull back then to prove I was right!

Lincoln: ...

In the afternoon, Alfred, riding a horse, arrived in town.

Looking at the bustling crowd, he couldn't believe the development here.

But just then, Tristan, with a smile on his face, waved and said: "Here, big brother!"

Hearing Tristan’s words, Alfred stepped forward and said: "Long time no see, how have you been lately!"

"I'm living very well here!"

Showing a smile, Tristan explained.

Looking at his brother, who used to be unrestrained and now had become steady, Alfred felt a burst of satisfaction.

After walking into the police station, when Alfred saw Zhang Cheng, he immediately extended his hand and said: "Very happy to see you, Sheriff!"

"Same here, Mr. Alfred!"

Looking at Alfred with a smile, Zhang Cheng took out several account books and said: "Look, this is our business!"

"Business?"

Looking at Tristan in confusion, Alfred was puzzled.

However, just after he opened the account book, he was stunned on the spot.

Because the things recorded on it were enough to send everyone present to the gallows three hundred times!

"Tristan? Didn't you say your job was just to catch robbers?"

Looking at Tristan suspiciously, Alfred was shocked.

"To be precise, the thief he caught was himself!"

Standing up with a smile, Zhang Cheng then opened the cabinet behind him.

"Clatter!"

As the gold filling a cabinet was displayed in front of him, Alfred was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Because he had never seen so much gold in his life!

"How about joining us, Alfred? Let me use this gold to pave a road to the sky for you!"

Looking at Alfred with a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because in his heart, Sean Hua could be supported, but he was just a tool; however, Alfred was different, he was one of his own. After all, his brother Tristan had already shown loyalty to him!
