"Would you like me to see you off at the train station?" Edith Rockefeller seemed not to hear Sheffield's dissatisfaction, and instead expressed her concern.

"I personally think that before you formally divorce, you should still give McCormick some face." Sheffield declined dryly, "I can't go too far when others treat each other calmly, right?"

"Coward, if you don't regret it when you are carrying a heavy burden, you will regret it now." Edith Rockefeller laughed and cursed, but also admitted that it made sense. Although the relationship was not deep, after all, they had been a couple for so many years, and they should still give each other a little.

Face, "How long do you plan to go?"

"I will come back when the construction of the mental hospital and the new factory is completed. It should not take more than three months. I want to make some inspections of the environment in the western states." Sheffield thought about it and said, "This time is not short.

There is something I want to say in advance."

Seeing Edith Rockefeller's expression of willingness to hear the details, Sheffield did not hide his thoughts, "I know you like the life of the upper class, and I don't care how you socialize, but if what happened to McCormick happened in

This matter will never end with me, I am not your husband."

When Edith Rockefeller heard this, she suddenly thought of Sheffield's prison story. She still remembered Sheffield's first reaction, "I told him that he should kill his lover and his wife together."

Now when I think about Edith Rockefeller, my heart tightens. This boy who is very polite on the surface is quite scary on the other side. He couldn't help but explain, "I didn't want to do anything to you at first. Who told you to pretend?"

It’s so similar, I really thought you could handle any temptation..."

"Now you know, you can't actually handle it!" Sheffield stood up and walked to Edith Rockefeller, looking down at the woman, "Let's go and carry the load."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Sheffield felt that this woman seemed to be more honest. She finally looked like a woman.

Starting from Chicago and heading west, according to the train speed of this era, which is not much faster than the caravan, Sheffield will travel through the vast area of ​​the Midwest of the United States in the next period of time. If you want to compare it with the electoral map, this vast area is

The base of real estate businessmen is the red-neck area in people’s minds.

Dixie refers to the southern states of the United States and the people in this region, which is opposite to the Yankee people who refer to the northern people of the United States. Of course, the term redneck has appeared in this era, and it is also a concept proposed by the Democrats for the election.

Voters in southern states affectionately call those farmer brothers who work in the fields all day long and have their necks reddened by the sun as red necks.

According to this definition, including farmers in southern states who support the Democratic Party, plus the current vast area west of Chicago, and even citizens of California, they are actually red necks.

The industrial population in the northern United States has long been a supporter of the Republican Party, so the Democratic Party naturally chose the policy of encircling the city, all for the sake of the election. This can create an evenly matched situation, and logically speaking, it should have an overwhelming advantage.

That's right, but that's actually not the case. The population of industrial areas in the United States is much larger than the population of farmers who seem to occupy a larger area.

At least in the late nineteenth century, the vast western territory was still a place of little importance to the federal government of the United States. The confrontation between the Yankees and the Dixies also obscured what the citizens of the greater West really thought. However,

Voters in the Midwest still trust the Democratic Party more in this era, which means that supporters of the Democratic Party have a slight advantage.

The long journey should have been a time for Sheffield to recuperate and replenish the nutrients lost while carrying a heavy load. Although he negotiated big deals worth hundreds of millions every day, he still felt a sense of accomplishment to Rockefeller, but he always did this.

My body can’t bear it either.

If we hadn't encountered robberies targeting the railway system that were not uncommon in this era, this might have become a reality. Because of the vast and sparsely populated environment, coupled with the geographical environment of the Midwest, robberies targeting railway trains in this era would have

There are still many, many robbers carrying tens of millions of dollars in rewards.

"I personally regret the inconvenience caused to you by me and my bodyguard appearing on this train, ah..." After a long yawn, Sheffield's eyes fell back on the subdued

He raised his eyebrows at John Connor and said, "It's too rude. Even if he is a robber, how can he be lynched by hand without confirmation? Isn't this a society governed by the rule of law?"

"

This attitude gave a robber with bleeding hands a glimmer of hope in his heart. Could it be that he had met a rare fool? If he had a choice, he would not want to be so unlucky. He thought it was a routine job.

After boarding the slow train, he was robbed from the front to the back compartment, and then fled to the wilderness and disappeared. It was another unsolved case, and no one could do anything to him and his brothers.

But who knew that in the high-end carriage, a carriage full of people were carrying guns, allowing themselves to enjoy the treatment of throwing themselves into a trap?

The boy in front of him now gave him hope that at least he would not be sent to the police station. In fact, Sheffield really had no intention of sending these poor people to the police station, because it would cause some trouble.

First of all, his family's prison is in Texas, so this labor force is obviously out of his hands. Furthermore, he has not yet sorted out his connections in the Midwest, so entering the police station will inevitably delay his time.

But now it seems that he will definitely have to call the police station and hand it over. This is a very sad thing for Sheffield, who has always kept a low profile.

"It is illegal to abuse lynching, and we are all law-abiding citizens!" Sheffield pointed at a group of bodyguards with guns in their hands and said sternly, "How do you explain bringing so many weapons on the train? This is not for

Are Chicago train stations causing trouble? As law-abiding citizens, we cannot cause trouble to the country."

Just when several robbers wanted to cheer, John Connor nodded and said, "Boss, I understand, you can't cause trouble to the country, and the most important thing is not to cause trouble to the boss. Leave this matter to me...

"

"Do it cleanly!" Sheffield instructed with a double entendre, his eyes fell on the four unlucky guys again, and he sighed in his heart that you are unlucky, robbers? Those who died were considered to be my legitimate defense, not to mention that I am here today.

Never seen you before.

"What are you going to do? Do you know that killing is illegal?" After being held up by a few bodyguards, the robbers came to their senses belatedly. It didn't look like these bastards were going to let them go.

It's like destroying corpses and eradicating traces.

"You have to think carefully. Bringing a gun on the train and paying some money is enough. Killing someone is different."

The robber who was pushed to the link of the carriage twisted his body, with a look of panic in his mouth, trying to make these men in black consider the consequences of this matter, bang...

"Who the hell has seen you today? He obviously jumped out of the car and ran away!" A bodyguard took a strong breath, kicked the body out of the carriage door, and said viciously, "Next..."

A few minutes later, John Connor went to another carriage and told the story of how several robbers had an internal fight and then jumped out of the car to escape. He also returned the stolen property to the owner and finally released the conductor. He was very civilized.

resolved this episode.

"Thank you..." The conductor wanted to say thank you to John Connor, but he saw a little blood on the other person's sleeves. When he raised his head, he met the other person's cold eyes and swallowed back the question on his lips.

At least before getting on the bus, Sheffield never imagined that the first stop of his journey would be in a police station, at a train station that was about to enter California.

After a cordial and good exchange, the police chief, who had already filled his pockets with dollars, sent the group into the car with great admiration. He nodded and bowed to express his displeasure, "If this boss hadn't acted bravely, we would still have done it."

There really is nothing we can do against these lawless bastards. If the United States were all citizens like the boss, they would take action when it was time to take action..."

That will definitely turn into Gotham City! Sheffield nodded reservedly and said that all this is what he should do. If there is a next time, it will be the same as his duty. He also reminded the Sheriff where the body was dumped and waited until the other party found it.

Naturally, a series of railway robberies can be brought to an end, and the image of a heroic and fearless police chief is ready to emerge.

Regarding this example of police-citizen cooperation, Sheffield said that he is an ordinary citizen and knows that doing more is worse than doing less. All the credit naturally belongs to the police sergeant who protects citizens' property. This can be assured.

"You still have a sense of justice, dear lady!" After the train started again, Sheffield pulled the female conductor who was definitely not twenty years old and sincerely praised her, "I wonder if I can get to know you? Where is Miss?

people."

"Oh, Los Angeles, that's such a coincidence, I happen to be going to that place!" Sheffield clapped his hands to express that we were really destined, "I am very polite to everyone, especially to you.

Beautiful lady, don’t worry, I will never hurt you. I even think it would be a pity for a girl with such a sense of justice like you to be a train conductor."

"What do you want to do?" The female conductor's eyes were filled with tears, feeling that she was so stupid for meddling in other people's business.

"I'm not going to do anything, I'll just let you be a tour guide!" Sheffield said dryly. If it weren't for the frequent big business talks recently, maybe he would actually do something.
Chapter completed!
