America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 90 The Gentleman Mayor
The leader died, and the rest of the people were a little panicked. Asuka shot a man in the hand holding the torch.

The torch fell to the ground, and the man danced about with his hands clasped, but then he danced more merrily, for the torch set his robes on fire.

Then he turned into a living "burning man" until he lay on the ground without moving.

Danny didn't even bother to use his gun, so he went up and punched one of them.

The neck of the unlucky guy who was hammered almost broke, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole white mask was dyed red.

Chen Jianqiu and Asuka also easily overthrew the remaining few people. Asuka took some iron shackles and ropes from the room of the security station and tied them up.

Chen Jianqiu tore off one of the masks, revealing a young face with horror written all over it.

"I know you!" Sigmund, who was still in shock, pointed at the young man, "You are the son of the grocery store owner!"

Chen Jianqiu tore off the masks on several people's heads, and found that except for the one on horseback, everyone else was from the town. As for the one who was burnt, it would depend on who was missing from the town the next day.

Chen Jianqiu asked Asuka and Danny to throw these people into the small cell of the public security station.

"The people of the Ku Klux Klan pretend to be ghosts and scare black people every day. They are a group of extreme racists who hate blacks, Chinese, Jews and almost all people of color. It was originally organized by a group of remnants of the Confederate Army. They pulled me in. I think These people are crazy." Danny kicked the white headgear on the ground.

"However, they usually operate in several southern states, and they seem to have been banned by the president ten years ago. How could they appear here?"

"Not surprising, there were cannibals around here before." Chen Jianqiu stood up.

He walked to Sigmund's side, and the old Sigmund was still a little weak in his legs, sitting on the ground.

"I don't want to take care of your town's affairs, can we talk about business now?"

He took out the bag and glanced at Sigmund, "Let's exchange it at the previous price? I don't count the manual cost of gold and silver utensils."

Sigmund huddled on the ground and shook his head, "I don't have any cash on hand, and those people in white robes snatched the cash on my hand."

Chen Jianqiu was angry and funny, he looked at the Jew sitting on the ground:

"A sheriff in your town was robbed with a gun by a group of mobs wearing sheets? Then tell others that they are ghosts?"

Sigmund opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the look of the Jews, and didn't force him any more, he thought for a while, and pointed to a few people in the cell: "You watch them here first, I'll go find the mayor.

He knocked on the door of Browning's gun store, and Jerry opened the door, squatting at the door with a gun to watch the night.

Browning ran out wearing one-piece pajamas, and he had already climbed into bed when Chen Jianqiu knocked on the door.

"Help me find the mayor, I have something urgent." Chen Jianqiu lit a cigarette outside the door, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Then wait for me for a while." Browning didn't hesitate, "I'll change my clothes."

A few minutes later, Browning appeared at the door in formal attire. With a gun in his hand, he led Chen Jianqiu and the others towards the east of the town.

Along the way, Chen Jianqiu observed the surrounding houses. At first he thought it was the people who lived here. Because of the rumors of ghosts, he turned off the lights early and hid at home.

But now, he realized that there were actually no people in many rooms.

"How many blacks, Chinese or Jews are there in the town?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.

Browning shook his head: "You know, not long ago, like you, I came here for the first time, but as far as I know, there are no Chinese, not many blacks, and quite a few Jews, but they are different from Westerners. Gormond, live on the west side of town."

While chatting, they came to an inconspicuous house in the east of the city.

"This is the mayor's house." Browning knocked on the door.

After coming here for a while, an old lady ran out to open the door, and Browning explained his purpose.

"The mayor is not here, and he may have taken people out to patrol. Isn't it haunted recently?"

Browning could only say "excuse me", then turned around and shrugged at Chen Jianqiu.

"Was Montrose haunted before?" Chen Jianqiu asked again.

Browning thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "No, it was about a week before you came."

"One week..." Chen Jianqiu thought for a while, it seemed that this was the day they set off from Pitkin.

It's so strange.

The next morning, an old gentleman in formal attire, with a cane and a gray top hat walked in from the first floor of the tavern.The bartender was taken aback when he saw the man, and he hurried out to greet him:
"Oh, honorable Mr. Mayor, I don't know why you are here today?"

The kind-faced mayor waved his cane: "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for someone."

Not long after, Chen Jianqiu came down from the second floor, and happened to see the old man with a cane on the first floor.

He didn't know the man, but the man seemed to know him.

"Mr. Chen, hello, I'm the mayor of this town. May I ask what you wanted from me last night?" The old man's smile made people feel very warm, even kind.

"You know me?" Chen Jianqiu was a little surprised, it was Browning who knocked on the door yesterday, and he just followed behind.

"Yes, we all know you, haha." The mayor smiled heartily, and he pointed to the bartender, "He knows you too, but we don't care, because you and your friends didn't show any malice towards us .”

Chen Jianqiu pondered for a while before replying: "I happen to be looking for you too, sir, we caught the 'ghost' last night."

As he spoke, he observed the expression on the mayor's face.

The mayor looked very surprised, he paused his cane: "Really? How did you catch them, did you use silver bullets? Or are they just human?"

"You are right, Mr. Mayor, please come with me."

Chen Jianqiu brought the mayor to Sigmund's security station. At this time, Sigmund hadn't slept all night, and was sitting at the door languidly holding a gun.

The gate of the security station was demolished by Danny yesterday, and he stared at the door panel on the ground in a daze.

"Hey! It's time to wake up!" A boot stepped on the door, making the door creak.

Sigmund suddenly woke up from his dementia. He looked up his boots and found that Chen Jianqiu was looking at him, and the mayor, standing beside Chen Jianqiu, was also looking at him with his cane.

When the few people locked in the cage heard the movement at the door, they rushed to the fence of the cage one after another.

"Sir, we were wrong!
"Sir! We dare not again!"

The mayor came in and looked at them with a frown. He knew all these people, and they were all young people in the town.

He glanced at the cell next to them, where there was a stranger's body and a black charcoal in the shape of a man.

"This brother, uh, I'm sorry, it was purely self-defense, and the other one accidentally set his clothes on fire with a torch." Chen Jianqiu pointed at the two corpses and looked at Sigmund.

The Jew nodded quickly: "Um, yes, I will testify to this."

Chen Jianqiu picked up the white hood on the table, and handed it to the mayor: "The Ku Klux Klan, for some reason, suddenly appeared. Unfortunately, we bumped into it, so I want to tell you."

The mayor's brows were tightened, and he asked Sigmund to take good care of these young people, and they would go to say hello to their parents.

In short, from now on, don't let anyone know about this matter. "

Seeing that the mayor had made a decision, Chen Jianqiu was about to turn around and leave.

But the mayor stopped him from behind:

"Mr. Chen, can we talk?"
