Chapter 441 The Confrontation Between the Deputy Sheriff and the Sheriff

hostility,

Jiang Hao felt deep hostility from Sergeant Kevin. He didn't know where his hostility came from, maybe it was because he couldn't understand him.

Sometimes the enemy comes inexplicably, and sometimes it is destined.

Jiang Hao spread his hands, got on his horse and left the security station. Seeing Jiang Hao disappearing from the back, Sergeant Kevin showed a contemptuous smile.

Back at the ranch, the house has been built, the interior is being renovated, and it will be ready to move in in a few days. 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, and some are responsible for purchasing cattle and farm tools. Some people are responsible for buying tobacco seeds, and now some people are cultivating the fields one after another.

Pete, Bill, and Roy shouldered heavy responsibilities. They took the train back to San Francisco to buy cigarette making machinery, as well as a batch of tobacco and large seeds, and at the same time recruited at least 200 workers or farmers.

Jiang Hao explained to them before leaving that as long as there are Chinese workers who are willing to come, as many as they want. accommodate.

Jenny was wearing a peasant woman's long dress and was instructing people to decorate. When she saw Jiang Hao coming back, she looked at the badge on his chest with a smile on her face. She gave Jiang Hao a hug and said, "Jon, congratulations on becoming Sheriff."

"It's the deputy police chief. I only did this to better protect our career and property." Jiang Hao said.

"Why are you back? Is the security station not working?" Jenny asked.

"Yes, it's very leisurely. The world is peaceful now. We have all returned to the fields. Where are there robbers? Everyone in the security station is in a panic. I can only come back." Jiang Hao said.

Jenny is a very smart woman. She kissed Jiang Hao on the face, and said close to his ear, "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, and it will be fine when you get used to it."

"I need reassurance."

"How about comforting you at night." Jenny gave Jiang Hao a sweet smile.

One month passed in a flash, a train arrived in Los Angeles, and many people got off the train, everyone was carrying the salute, and some brought their families with them.

"Second brother, put down my baggage, we've arrived."

"Two dogs go on," 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 settle down safely, as long as there is something to eat."

The train returned with a full load, with more than 300 passengers on board, including more than 200 Chinese. Bill, Pete, and Roy got off the train and said to the people standing on the platform: "Los Angeles is here, you put down the packages first. , remove the machines and goods from the car, and someone will come to pick us up later.”

Everyone put down their things and started to move the goods together.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Office received a report that a large number of Chinese got off the train. Sheriff Kevin frowned. He didn't like the Chinese. He was still a security officer in the incident against the Chinese in Los Angeles a few years ago, but he beat them hard. In that incident, more than a dozen Chinese in Los Angeles were killed or injured.

"Call everyone and follow me to the station." Sergeant Kevin ordered.

Seven or eight security guards rode on their horses and followed Sergeant Kevin to the station. They saw that the station was chaotic. There were white people, more yellow-skinned people, and women and children inside. The small Los Angeles station was covered by these It was full of people.

Pete is instructing people to unload the machines. These machines are all cigarette makers, and there are some parts and tools for transforming the machines, which Jiang Hao asked them to buy.

On the other side of the truck box, Roy was watching people unload the seeds. These were bought at a lot of money, and all the seeds Jiang Hao wanted were here.

Sergeant Kevin sat on the horse with a frosty expression on his face. After scanning around, he shouted, "Whoever is in charge here, stand up."

Bill saw Sheriff Kevin, walked 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 are 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 tonight at the latest, and Los Angeles does 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 was talking about, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"Don't let us stay, but also drive us away, alas."

"This time and again, where is the place for us to settle down?"

"Let's stay, so what can he do." Someone said angrily.

"The arm can't twist the thigh. They have guns and someone. He is the sheriff. He can sentence us and hang us. Don't you dare not listen." Someone lamented.

"Then we can't stay anymore?"

"I'm afraid the master who hired us would not dare to keep us. Who would dare to offend the official."

Bill looked at the sheriff on the horse, and said in a blunt tone: "Mr. Sheriff, these are employees of our Hall Manor and Hall Company. They are legal workers. They all have American citizenship. We have legal Employment contracts, 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. He pointed to Bill and said, "Believe it or not, I will detain all these people in the name of robbers now, and don't talk to me about the legal system. Los Angeles now I It's up to you."

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, a voice sounded next to him, "Sheriff Kevin, I'm afraid Los Angeles is not up to you." Jiang Hao brought a group of brothers over, looked at Sheriff Kevin and said in a calm tone.

Kevin looked at Jiang Hao coldly, "Hall, you know, the yellow race is full of plagues, their men are lazy and idle all day long, and their women are all prostitutes, if they stay, they will become a cancer in Los Angeles. They are not allowed to stay."

"I only know that they are my employees, Kevin, put away your discrimination, you are not God, and you have no right to determine the life and death of others." Jiang Hao stopped his horse three meters in front of Sergeant Kevin, and the two looked at each other. They stared at each other, neither giving way.

"Jon Hall, I don't think you are suitable to be a deputy sheriff at all."

"Sheriff Kevin, I think your heart has been occupied by the devil, you'd 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 social order. I think the city government will make a decision."

"Whatever you want, I have the mayor's permission to recruit workers. If there are no workers, how will my farm be planted and the factory be started? If it cannot be started, the more than 200 workers I hired in Los Angeles may also unemployment."

Kevin gave Jiang Hao a cold look, snorted coldly, pulled the reins and rode away, and his subordinates also left together.

The Chinese looked at all this in a daze, at this time Bill pointed to Jiang Hao and said: "This is your big boss, the deputy sheriff of Los Angeles, with his protection, your safety is guaranteed, okay, now continue work."

This word spread among the Chinese, and immediately aroused cheers. If you can stay, it’s good if you can stay. They really long for a stable life now.

Kevin ran to Mayor Durant to file a complaint. Durant frowned slightly when he heard that more than 200 Chinese had arrived. He did not discriminate against people of color, but the current domestic situation is like this. There was mass opposition from the public, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But when he took Jiang Hao’s money, he always said a few words for him, "Kevin, Hall assured me that those Chinese will only move around in his ranch and will not go to towns or other places casually. He also made sure that they would abide by the law and not cause trouble, maybe we can see first, how about it."

Kevin left angrily.

Back at the security station, Sergeant Kevin was smoking a cigar with frowned eyebrows. One of his subordinates said a little angrily, "That Hall is so arrogant that he confronted you, Sergeant. Sergeant, I think he should be given Check out some colors."

"How to color him?"

"Didn't he hire those Chinese? In two days, I will find someone to steal things in the town, and I will say that those Chinese did it. Then I will arrest a few people for interrogation. I see what Hall can do. If he dares to stop If you incite the people in the town to oppose Hall as sheriff, the mayor will definitely not ignore public opinion and will definitely fire Hall. At that time, we can find trouble with Hall at will."

A sinister smile appeared on Sergeant Kevin's face.
