He's in the west, he's a cowboy
Chapter 143
However, the happy time is always short-lived. Just when Zhou Zheng's manor was under construction, a letter from Saint Denis gave everyone a shock.
The letter was sent by Juan. The letter only said one thing. Trelawney was arrested...
Yes, Trelawney, the unlucky guy, was caught by Cornwall, no, or rather by Zhou Xing of Xinantang.
Trelawny didn't take it seriously at first, but felt that this time it would be the same as before, and he just needed to hide for a while.
The reason why he thinks so is actually very simple. Annesburg and Saint-Denis are not in the same state. Even if Cornwall issues a wanted warrant, it will not be sent to Saint-Denis. They have not committed any crime in Saint-Denis.
But he soon discovered that something was wrong. A large-scale manhunt suddenly started on the street, and it was not the police who were searching, but people from Pinkerton and Xin'antang.
This is different. Pinkerton is fine, but people from Xin'antang can't leave Chinatown under normal circumstances. Now that they are acting openly throughout the city, something must have happened behind the scenes.
This guy is also a good person, and he was immediately ready to go home, pack his things and run away. On the way back, I happened to meet Juan who was looking for work nearby.
Juan is not a person who just sits and rests. Even if he is rich, he has to work when it is time to work. Anyway, he has many friends on the street, and he can make some money by following the gangsters.
He had just accepted a job to help run errands that day, and happened to meet a nervous-looking Trelawney. In line with the fact that they are all comrades who have worked together, Trelawney quickly informed Juan of the matter. Although Juan was a small role and did not show his face, he still had to be careful.
Hearing what he said, Juan felt a little uneasy. When he returned home, he felt that he could not take the risk. After decisively confessing to the elderly at home, he gave him all the money he had received.
Then he sent the old man on the train to the east and told him that he would find him if he was safe. Finally he was left alone.
He could actually run away, and the money he got was enough for the two of them to live a good life in the east, but he felt that he couldn't be so unloyal, and he had to report the news to Zhou Zheng and the others.
He was going to go back to Trelawney to discuss what to do. He thought Trelawney was a smart man.
As a result, before he reached Trelawney's house, he found that Trelawney had been arrested by people from Xin'antang...
This frightened him greatly. Knowing that if he didn't run, it would be too late, he immediately got on his horse and ran directly from Saint-Denis to Rhodes in one breath.
After he arrived in Rhodes, he first wrote a letter and sent it to Zhou Zheng, and then he was going to find a hidden place to hide. After thinking about it, he finally ran directly to Hamish.
This is indeed hidden enough...
By the time Zhou Zheng saw the letter, several days had passed since Juan wrote the letter, and it was estimated that it had been more than a week since Trelawny was arrested.
Zhou Zheng knew that the situation was urgent and hurriedly called everyone to discuss what to do next.
"We have to save him, that's for sure." Hosea read the letter and said firmly: "But this must be planned well. How to save him is the question."
"The key to the problem is that we don't have enough manpower." Zhou Zheng rubbed his head: "The letter said that the wanted posters for John Hosea and even Dutch are almost all over St. Denis."
John and others are the protagonists of that scene, and they will definitely not be able to escape.
"No one who has been to Annesburg can go. The only people who can go are me, Arthur, Charles, and Sadie."
John and Hosea certainly couldn't go, as they would be recognized if they came near Saint Denis. Wei Xin was in charge of the ranch workers, which Isabella couldn't do. The rest, like Uncle Kieran and others, have no fighting ability at all, and it will be useless to go there.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the safety of the ranch. With John here, it won't be a big problem.
"Now there is another problem. We don't know how much this guy Trelawney has said." Arthur said with a straight face: "As far as I know, he is not a hard nut."
"And there are several people who have gone to St. Denis, like Marybeth and the others. If Trelawney opens her mouth, their situation will be in danger." Hosea sighed, it was like one wave after another, Just a few days after Ansheng's birthday, something happened again.
"Everyone, pack up and leave early tomorrow morning." Zhou Zheng stood up, looked at Hosea and said, "Just the four of us can go over there, and I'll leave the house to you."
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements here." Hosea nodded solemnly.
"Is that guy Dawson dead?" Zhou Zheng turned to ask Wei Xindao.
"No, he's still alive." Wei Xin replied immediately.
"Bring him with you tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we can only take the risk of exchanging hostages."
This guy has been exploited by Wei Xin, working during the day and sleeping in the stable at night. If Cornwall saw Dawson now, he would definitely not recognize that the tall, dark and sloppy man in front of him was his handsome nephew.
Fortunately, I didn't really bury this guy at the time, and it comes in handy now.
Of course, this is just a last resort. If it really comes to exchanging hostages, it means that the situation has reached the worst time.
Early the next morning, the four mounted their horses and took Dawson on the road.
They had to go to Hamish's place to meet Juan first and see what else he knew.
"We're probably in big trouble this time. It won't be so easy." Zhou Zheng said with a straight face on the way.
"To rob a prison, it's better to go to a big city to rob a prison. Of course it will be a big problem." Sadie said nonchalantly.
"No, it's not just that. If Trelawney speaks, it means that all our plans have been exposed, and the relationship between Zhou and William will also be exposed." Charles said calmly.
Yes, once Trelawney spoke, the relationship between William and Zhou Zheng was completely exposed. Cornwall could use the relationship between the two to drag William into the water, including Annesburg and even the Blackwater Town robbery. Everything will be put on William's head, and then the fun will be great.
By then, not only will William's political career be over, but his life will be over...
"Yes, it will be troublesome then." Zhou Zheng said worriedly: "I hope Trelawney will be smarter and use Dawson as a bargaining chip to hold on until we come to rescue him."
Yes, that's why Zhou Zheng brought Dawson here. If Trelawney is smart, he uses Dawson as a talisman, claiming that something happened to him and Dawson won't survive, buying himself time to save him.
If Cornwall has this nephew in his heart, then everything will turn around, and even the initiative is still in the hands of Zhou Zheng and others.
If Cornwall thinks that such a good-for-nothing nephew is a waste of air, then it's all over.
And they had to be quick. The Vanderlinde gang had just dispersed. If a few more were caught, it would be all over.
Several people were anxious. In addition to eating and going to the toilet, they were riding horses and galloping. Finally, at noon the next day, they successfully arrived at Hamish's cabin.
As soon as Juan saw a few people, he immediately shouted loudly: "The matter is serious, Trelawney has confessed us all."
