Chapter 46 Letter
Chapter 46: Letter
Spring's premonition was not wrong at all. Chinese people... The letter in Evernon was written by the Chinese workers to Charlotte. However, even though he had guessed it, Spring had no choice. With so many people's faces, could Charlotte hide the letter?
Spring's nervousness did not affect Charlotte. In fact, when Evernon just said that he had been entrusted to bring a letter, Charlotte also realized that something was wrong. After all, at this moment, who else could be besides the Chinese who would ask someone to bring him a letter? But unlike Spring, Charlotte is a politician. A politician must have the ability to remain calm under any circumstances. The higher the politician, the stronger the ability in this regard. Otherwise, facing so many voters and so many political opponents' questioning and accountability, if their faces change anytime and anywhere like a chameleon, who would believe them? Therefore, although Charlotte was very nervous, afraid that the Chinese would make any noise, he was calm on the surface. He naturally took the letter handed over by Evernon and opened it in public and read it...
"Damn Chinese!"
After a long time, the mayor cursed hatefully.
"Chinese? Mr. Mayor, is this letter given to you by the Chinese?"
Spring and Charlotte guessed it, but others didn't know it. However, the anger that Charlotte showed after reading the letter gave others a very obvious hint.
"That's right, it's those Chinese!" Charlotte raised the letter paper in his hand high, gritting his teeth, and looked extremely angry. "Gentlemen, ladies, take a look, these are the Chinese... They actually asked me to give up their pursuit of them, otherwise, they would kill the hostages!... And in addition, they also asked the hostages' families to hand over enough ransom, otherwise, they would retaliate against the city of Denver, and let us use extremely huge losses to compensate for the insults and injuries they have suffered in these years..."
"What?"
"Do they still dare to ask for ransom?"
“Compend on the insults and injuries they have suffered?”
"Ha, don't they know that they will be hunted by an entire army soon?"
"They thought they could do whatever they wanted if they had hostages?"
"They forgot that they were yellow people and thought they were white bandits."
"White bandits? Even if they all paint their faces with white paint, they still cannot change their vulgar appearance."
"I'm increasingly intolerable now. God, we have let these yellow people live in the same city as us for more than ten years... We should have dealt with them long ago!"
"Yes, that's a bunch of garbage that should be dumped into the garbage dump."
"You're so wasteful. If it were me, I would kill them all and bury them in the soil... In that case, the grass next year will definitely grow very lush."
"But I'm worried that those cattle and sheep will not like them... You know, those people have never been hygienic and have not taken baths for several years. The grass watered with their blood will definitely smell."
The crowd was in agitation, and the Chinese overestimated their abilities and greed made all Denver citizens feel a sense of heartfelt anger, and all kinds of abuses were rampant because they felt that this letter was simply ignoring their existence and an extreme insult to them, the noble white people.
"Who do they think they are those hateful yellow people? Do they think that the city of Denver can be threatened at will?!" This is the atmosphere! Spring's heart moved and raised his gun at the right time.
"Kill them!"
"Yes, kill them all, kill all the yellow people!"
"Kill all the yellow people and rescue our kidnapped compatriots... I order, everyone, to set out!"
"Set off!"
"drive!"
"Ho, kill..."
"Mr. Evernon, I want to know, how did this letter come to your hands?" Even more than a hundred years later, European and American countries holding the banner of "freedom and equality" have not completely eliminated racial discrimination, let alone the present 1880? It would be fine if it was a white man, but the yellow race who had been discriminated against and excluded in the United States and would be insulted and beaten by white men when they were fine, and often forced to kneel down by braids suddenly rose up
, How could the white people accept it when trying to provoke the white people in this country? So, Charlotte and Spring sang and sang together, and the white people who were thinking about the banknotes in the hands of the Chinese workers immediately became angry, clamoring to kill all the Chinese, and then rushing out of Denver like a tide. However, the team formed by citizens rushed out, and Charlotte and Spring were not so anxious, especially Charlotte, who stared at Evernon for a moment.
"This... Mr. Mayor, you know, I am neighbors with those Chinese. I have grabbed their pig tail before and asked them to kneel down for me..." Evernon shrugged, "But it's different now. Those Chinese have guns in their hands, and there are more than one!"
"They push you with guns?" Spring asked.
"No, they gave me ten dollars, and also waived the thirty dollars of laundry fees I owe them." Evernon shrank, looking scared.
"For the sake of forty dollars, do you listen to them?" If you weren't impatient, calm down, and the content of the letter was known by the citizens around you, then... Charlotte's eyes twitched, and he wanted to shoot and kill the old guy in front of him. Even if those Chinese people were afraid when they came, there are so many white people around now and they have weapons, what are you afraid of? It's clear that I just want to show it to me. 1
"Of course not forty dollars," the guys gave two thousand dollars, no, more railroad stocks than two thousand dollars. Evernon was secretly proud, but he didn't dare to show a strange expression. "Mr. Mayor, those guys told me that if I don't give you this letter, then the city of Denver will inevitably suffer huge losses and many people will die... As a citizen of Denver, I think, no matter whether this letter is true or not, I need to hand it over to you, right?"
"It's really just that?" Spring.
"Have you read this letter?" Charlotte asked immediately.
"Apologize, Mr. Mayor, I... cannot read." Evernon shrugged, looking innocent.
"Ignorance?" Charlotte stared at him suspiciously, "Then are you still running a hotel?"
"Don't you need an account book?" Spring also turned dark. Who did the old man think he and Mayor Charlotte were? They looked so easy to cheat?
"Of course I have to keep an account book, but I always use symbols instead of words. As for the others, I can still recognize numbers." Evernon said.
"Where is your hotel?" Charlotte glanced around and asked again.
"My hotel is nearby, and you'll arrive after a turn." Evernon replied casually, then looked at Charlotte with some confusion, "You don't know where my hotel is? But you just said that my hotel is good..."
"Does there? I don't remember." Charlotte shook his head. "Spring, take Mr. Evernon to his hotel and check his account books to see if he has evaded taxes."
"Yes, boss."
Evernon.
"Those white people are coming!"
"Um."
"I really don't understand what you are thinking, just say it right? Just write it right with just one letter? Just fight if you want to fight. What's the use of doing these?"
Angelo Ranch.
Li Asheng and Guo Jinzhang stood side by side, holding a monocular lens in their hands, constantly looking outside the ranch, with a casual tone, but his slightly sweaty forehead still showed his inner worry.
One or two thousand people, and at least one or two thousand people, the news I received from the Horseshoe Inn last night not only shocked him, but the others in the ranch were also afraid, even fear.
However, it has reached this point, and it is impossible to beg for mercy. There is only a fight, and only a fight against those white people, because those white people cannot let them go. The white mayor's speech was simply a naked killing order!
"It doesn't work today, it doesn't mean it's useless in the future. We are in the United States now, and if we are causing such a big deal, if we don't give ourselves a justification, we won't be able to be safe even if we escape from the United States. So, this is all necessary." Guo Jinzhang explained.
"Will that Evernon do what you said?" Li Asheng asked again.
