Chapter 444: Confrontation between the deputy sheriff and the sheriff
enmity
Jiang Hao felt deep hostility from Sheriff Kevin, and he didn't know where his hostility came from, probably because he couldn't get used to seeing the other party.
Sometimes the enemy comes inexplicably, and sometimes it is predestined.
Jiang Hao spread his hands, rode his horse and left the security station, looking at Jiang Hao's disappearing back, Sergeant Kevin showed a contemptuous smile.
Back at the ranch, the house has been built, the interior is being renovated, and Jiang Hao's subordinates now have a division of labor, some are responsible for supervising the construction of the factory, some are responsible for recruiting farmers, some are responsible for buying cattle and farm tools, and some are responsible for buying tobacco seeds, and now there are people in the field one after another.
Pete, along with Bill and Roy, took the train back to San Francisco to buy cigarette machinery, a batch of tobacco and seeds, and at least 200 workers or farmers.
Before Jiang Hao left, he explained to them that as long as there are Chinese workers who are willing to come, there are as many as they want, there is endless work to be done here, only there are few people and not many people, and his career in the future can be tolerated even by hundreds of thousands of people.
Jenny was wearing a peasant woman's long skirt and was directing people to decorate, when she saw Jiang Hao coming back, she looked at the badge on his chest, her face was full of smiles, she gave Jiang Hao a hug and said, "Jon, congratulations on becoming a sheriff." ”
"It's the deputy sheriff, I'm doing this just to better protect our business and property." Jiang Hao said.
"Why did you come back, isn't there a job at the security station?" Jenny asked.
"Yes, it's very idle, now that the world is peaceful, we have all been disarmed and returned to the field, where are there still robbers, the people in the security station are idle and panicked, I can only come back." Jiang Hao said.
Jenny is a very smart woman, she kissed Jiang Hao on the face, leaned close to his ear and said, "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, and it will be fine when you get acquainted with it." ”
"I need comfort."
"How about comforting you at night." Jenny gave Jiang Hao a sweet smile.
One month passed, and a train arrived in Los Angeles, and many people came down from this train, everyone carried a salute, and some brought their families.
"Second brother, throw my baggage away, we're here."
"Ergou then," the man in the car dropped two sets of packages, looked up at the bright sunshine in the sky, and said to himself, "I hope this place can be stable, as long as there is something to eat." ”
The train was full of more than 300 passengers, including more than 200 Chinese, Bill, Pete and Roy got off the train and said to the people standing on the platform: "Los Angeles has arrived, you put down the packages first, move the machines and goods on the car, and someone will come to pick us up later." ”
Everyone put down their things and began to move the goods together,
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Office received a report that a large number of Chinese people got off the train, Sheriff Kevin frowned, he didn't like Chinese, a few years ago in Los Angeles against the Chinese, he was still a vigilante at that time, but he beat a few Chinese, in that incident, Los Angeles Chinese killed and injured more than a dozen people.
"Call everyone and follow me to the station." Sheriff Kevin ordered.
Seven or eight vigilantes mounted their horses and followed Sheriff Kevin to the station, and they saw a commotion on this side of the station, there were white people, more yellow-skinned, women and children inside, and the small station in Los Angeles was full of these people.
Pete was directing the people to unload the machines, which were all cigarette machines, as well as some parts and tools for transforming the machinery, which Jiang Hao asked them to buy.
On the other side of the truck, Roy was watching people unload seeds, which had been bought for a lot of money, and the seeds Jiang Hao wanted were here.
Sheriff Kevin sat on his horse with a frosty face, glanced around, and shouted, "Whoever of you here is in charge, stand up." ”
When Bill saw Sheriff Kevin, he came over and said, "Mr. Sheriff, I'm in charge, what's the matter?" ”
Kevin looked at Bill and suddenly remembered who this person was, "You're from Hall Manor, Jon Hall's subordinate." ”
"Yes."
"Now I order you, all these yellow people are not allowed to get out of the car, let them get in the car immediately, and let them return to San Francisco by tonight at the latest, and Los Angeles will not allow them to enter." Sergeant Kevin said in a cold tone.
Many of the Chinese could understand English, so they naturally knew what the sheriff meant, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"If you don't let us stay, you're going to drive us away, alas."
"This time and again, where is the place where we stay."
"Let's stay, what can he do." Someone said angrily.
"The arms can't twist the thighs, they have guns and people, he is a sheriff, he can sentence us to prison and hang us, do you dare not listen." Someone lamented.
"Then we can't stay?"
"The master who hired us, I'm afraid he won't dare to keep us, who would dare to offend the officials."
Bill looked at the sheriff on the horse, and said in a stiff tone: "Mr. Sheriff, this is the employees of our Hall Manor and Hall Company, they are legal workers, they all have American citizenship, we have a legal employment contract, you have no right to disperse them." ”
Kevin was very angry when he heard Bill's words, he felt that his authority had been challenged, pointed at Bill and said: "Believe it or not, I will detain all these people in the name of bandits now, don't talk to me about the legal system, Los Angeles now I have the final say." ”
As soon as Kevin's words fell, a voice sounded next to him, "Sheriff Kevin, I'm afraid it's not up to you to have the final say in Los Angeles", Jiang Hao came over with a vote of brothers, looked at Sheriff Kevin and said in a light tone.
Kevin looked at Jiang Hao coldly, "Hall, you must know that the yellow race is full of plagues, their men are lazy and idle all day long, their women are all prostitutes, if they stay, they will become a cancer in Los Angeles, I will never allow them to stay." ”
"I just know, they are my employees, Kevin, put away your discrimination, you are not God, you have no right to condemn other people's lives and deaths." Jiang Hao stopped his horse three meters in front of Sergeant Kevin, and the two looked at each other, and neither of them gave a dam.
"Jon Hall, I don't think you're fit to be a deputy sheriff at all."
"Sheriff Kevin, I think your heart has been occupied by the devil, you better go to church and pray, maybe God will baptize you."
"Hmph, I will go to Mayor Durant and tell him how bad the arrival of these Chinese will have on the social order, and I think the city government will make a decision."
"Whatever you want, I have the mayor's permission to recruit workers, and if there are no workers, how can my farm be planted, how can the factory be opened, and if it can't work, the more than 200 workers I hired in Los Angeles will probably lose their jobs."
Kevin glanced at Jiang Hao coldly, snorted coldly, pulled the reins and rode away, and his subordinates also left with him.
Those Chinese people looked at all this in a daze, and then Bill pointed at Jiang Hao and said: "This is your big boss, the deputy sheriff of Los Angeles, with his protection, your safety is guaranteed, okay, continue to work now." ”
This word spread among the Chinese, and immediately caused a burst of cheers, it is good to stay, they really want a stable life now.
Kevin ran to Mayor Durant to complain, Durant heard that more than 200 Chinese people came, and he frowned slightly, he does not discriminate against people of color, but now the situation in the country is like this, if the people in Los Angeles City oppose it on a large scale, he has no choice.
But he accepted Jiang Hao's money, and he always had to say a few words for him, "Kevin, Hall promised me that those Chinese will only operate in his ranch, and will not go to the town or other places casually, and he also promised that they will abide by the law and will not cause trouble, maybe we can see first, how about it." ”
Kevin huffed away.
Back at the sheriff's office, Sergeant Kevin was smoking a cigar with a frown, and one of his subordinates said with some resentment, "That Hall is so arrogant that he actually confronted you face to face with Sheriff, Sheriff, I think I should give him some color." ”
"How do you give him color?"
"Didn't he hire those Chinese, in two days, I found someone to steal things in the town, just say that those Chinese did it, and then arrest a few people for interrogation, I see what that Hall can do, if he dares to stop it, you will incite the people in the town to oppose Hall as a sheriff, the mayor will definitely not ignore the public opinion, and will definitely fire Hall, at that time, we can casually find trouble with Hall."
Sergeant Kevin had a sinister smile on his face.
