In the nineteenth century, there were two great undertakings in the vast land of North America, one was to dig canals and the other to build roads.

Countless rivers, railways, and highways, like dense blood vessels, gradually extend from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. The bloodlines of these people, who are swallowing a large amount of materials, are like the meridians of the limbs and hundreds of bones have been fully opened, casting the foundation of the divine power of a great country to dominate the world.

As a nation of immigrants, the United States has suffered from a labor shortage since its founding, so any technological innovation that increases productivity is widely welcome. However, infrastructure construction still requires a lot of labor and cannot be replaced.

In this time and space, Daming's sea ban is in vain, and many poor people in the southeast have gone to the west coast of North America to beg for a living, and later helping Americans build railways is a way to find jobs, and more Chinese go there. The city of San Francisco has become a bridgehead and distribution center for the spread of Chinese workers in North America.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and if an immigrant group does not have its own representative figures in politics and does not have its own strong organization in the lower classes, it will definitely become a low-level coolie who has been squeezed to the extreme.

Originally, among overseas Chinese, it should have been Hongmen and other organizations that were spreading their branches and leaves. However, the task of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" in this world has long been completed, and such gangs do not need to survive overseas, so they have no motivation to exhibit overseas.

Therefore, among the Chinese in San Francisco, it is the Three Emperors of Siberia who build the wharf. Chinese immigrants and Mexicans, as well as American immigrants, are the three main ethnic groups in the region.

Although California is still nominally a sovereign territory of Mexico, urban autonomy has become a trend. The Mexican government's influence here is already very weak.

The North Shore area on the peninsula is inhabited by Chinese, and the North American Central Region of the Three Emperors Society is also there. However, Ji Qingsu is now the mayor and has to deal with all parties. The residence is located near the municipal district.

This house looks like a small European-style building on the outside, and after entering, you can see that the furnishings inside are all Jiangnan folk house style.

Ji Qingsu took Ji Aojian and sat in the living room, boiled him a pot of tea, and then sat down opposite, "Brother, let's talk about your case now." ”

Ji Aojian nodded.

Ji Qingsu said, "Deputy Sheriff Bruce is Mexican. It has always been at odds with us. This time he framed you, and there must be some conspiracy in it. ”

"What kind of conspiracy will there be?"

"Maybe it's trying to figure out guò to hit you and suppress our Three Emperors?"

Ji Ao Kendo. "When Bruce came to check, he didn't know that I had anything to do with the Three Emperors, and the sailors on both ships were Westerners. ”

"Oh?" Ji Qingsu thought for a moment, "If Bruce didn't know the identity of the ship's owner in advance, it shouldn't have been an action against the Chinese in this city." ”

Tiandao Spring suddenly spoke. "I think he's just coming straight to his master. ”

Ji Qingsu asked. "Since he didn't know who the owner of the ship was, why did he go straight to my brother?"

"There's no reason for it, it's just a gut feeling. ”

Ji Qingsu frowned and thought about it, and said after a while, "What Miss Tiandao said makes sense, Bruce went directly to the owners of these two boats. ”

Ji Aojian smiled, "That's right. ”

"Then you can understand that behind Bruce is a Mexican gangster. They must have taken a fancy to their brother's two gunboats, so they came here to be difficult to be the owners of the ships. ”

Tiandao Quan said. "The deputy sheriff only brought a few policemen, and if the owner wanted to refuse the search, he just drove the boat away, they couldn't grab the boat. ”

"Also, my brother can ignore them and walk away. Ji Qingsu was confused, "Could it be that Bruce knew in advance that his brother would not leave?"

Tiandaoquan listened to her words, and suddenly understood in his heart, "The master is here to be the governor, so he won't leave." ”

"Governor?"

Ji Aojian nodded, "I'm in Mexico City, and I did get the appointment letter of the governor of California. ”

"That's great. Ji Qingsu's eyes flashed with brilliance.

California is a region that cannot be controlled by the central government, and the position of governor is useful when it is said to be useful, and it is useless to say that it is useless. A man with no background becomes a governor, then it is nothing. But if a powerful local force gets this position, it will naturally have the effect of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Ji Ao Kendao, "Although I got the letter of appointment, there are still many people in the Mexican government who don't want me to be an Oriental in this position. The Mexicans in this city must have gotten the news from the capital, so they did everything they could to frame me. ”

Tiandaoquan asked, "They framed the master so that the master could not become the governor?"

"Everything is so dirty. Ji Aojian sighed, "There is a story called "Running for Governor", which says that as long as you get involved in politics, even if you are originally an honest and decent person, you will definitely be called a perjury, a thief, a kidnapper, a drunkard, a bribe, and a blackmailer...... Xiao Su, you are the mayor now, you naturally understand. ”

Ji Qingsu nodded slightly, and continued, "How did my brother come to America, and how did he get the governorship from Mexico?"

Ji Aojian then briefly told her what happened after he went to sea.

"It turns out that my brother broke through at sea. Ji Qingsu couldn't help but feel a burst of respect in his heart, "My brother has such courage and perseverance, Xiao Su really admires it." ”

"This is just the sixth sister who learns, it's nothing. Ji Aojian shook his head, "Xiao Su, how did you and the fourth sister come to America?"

"At the beginning of last year, the fourth sister took me to the south first, said that many disciples of the Zhengyi Sect were moved, and then came to the north, picked a lot of lamas of the Yellow Sect, and then took the diplomatic documents from the Beijing Rite Department, and then came out. ”

Ji Aojian remembered that Shi Xuanliu had also said before that the fourth sister had brought a large number of monks and Taoist priests with her, "Bring these monks here, but you want to preach in North America?"

Xiao Su nodded, "The spread of Buddhism and Taoism in China has long been saturated, and now that the Divine Sect is expanding in China, these two schools also need to open dojos overseas." Although the upper-level masters and Taoists are not interested in going abroad in person, there are not a few middle- and lower-level disciples who are interested in preaching the Dharma and spreading the Tao in foreign lands. ”

"From this point of view, the upper echelons have decayed. ”

Ji Qingsu continued, "We left Jingshi, entered Guanwai, passed through Siberia, and passed through the Guò Bering Strait to North America. ”

Ji Aojian was surprised, "Why don't you take a boat, but take 6 routes to the Americas, it takes more time, right?"

The fourth sister said that preaching in a foreign land is a long-term undertaking that requires one step at a time. So when we go to America, we should walk through the frost and ice and walk through it step by step with our feet. ”

"It makes sense, too. Ji Aojian faintly felt that the purpose of the fourth sister taking them on the 6th route was not so simple.

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on his back, "Xiao Su, since you went to Siberia, why didn't you come to see me?"

"Xiao Su really wants to come to see his brother. Ji Qingsu replied, "But the fourth sister said that you are busy with affairs, so don't bother you." And we have a tight schedule, so we can't afford to delay. ”

Ji Aojian broke out in a cold sweat but there was another reason, he had always thought that he had controlled the Liaoxi Corridor tightly, but now he heard that a very large brigade had passed through the past unknowingly, and he didn't know anything about it, how not to be surprised.

If hostile forces infiltrate this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

I couldn't help but be very glad in my heart, fortunately, the fourth sister was not my enemy.

He coughed, "Let's talk about the current case, can we win this lawsuit?"

"Brother, don't worry, I will help you save your reputation and let you become the governor of Shun Lì. Ji Qingsu pressed the table, "I have already talked to the lawyer just now, and he will try his best to prove your innocence in court." ”

Reputation is very important for a person, and while not having a reputation doesn't prevent you from becoming a gang leader, it is impossible to hold public office.

Ji Aojian thought, it turns out that you didn't get off work, but you hired a lawyer for me.

"He's a well-known lawyer in the United States. ”

Ji Qingsu explained that Chinese laborers were often abused and their wages were deducted while building for Americans. As a result, the Three Emperors Society often had to defend their rights and sue them in the federal court, so they hired a lawyer to help with the lawsuit.

When Ji Aojian heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Why can an American lawyer take over business in Mexico?"

"There has always been a shortage of lawyers in California, as long as the local government reviews and recognizes the qualifications of foreign lawyers. ”

According to Su, the lawyer worked well with the Three Emperors, and he was also an opponent of the Mexican-American War and wanted to visit Mexican territory. Ji Qingsu simply invited him to come over in the name of the mayor's legal adviser, and he had just arrived today. Originally, she was receiving in the city hall, but in order to bail Ji Aojian, she came out.

"What's the name of the lawyer I'm going to defend me?"

"Abraham Lincoln. ”
