The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 284 Take the money, or I will lead a rebellion
Chen Zhengwei didn't visit the Democratic Party members in the end. After all, it's not easy to meet with them. And the close and distant relationships among the Democrats vary. Not everyone can help him meet the governor.

Instead, he went directly to visit a Republican member.

Attorney General of California.

"I'm here to visit Mr. Isaac Smith!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smee isn't home!"

"I'm from San Francisco. I came here to bring you something very important, about Mr. Leland Stanford!" Chen Zhengwei said with a turn of his eyes.

"Sorry, Mr. Smith is really not at home!" said the servant of Isaac Smith's family.

"Then where is he?" Chen Zhengwei took out twenty yuan and stuffed it into the other person's pocket.

"Sorry, I can't disclose Mr. Smith's whereabouts! If Mr. Smith wants to see you after he comes back, he will let someone notify you!" The other party directly took out twenty yuan.

Chen Zhengwei tilted his head, took a stack of money from the henchman, took out 200 yuan from it, and stuffed it into the other's pocket again.

"I have something important to discuss with him..."

"I'm sorry, I really can't..."

"Very, very important!" Chen Zhengwei took out another 200 yuan and stuffed it into the other person's pocket.

Then another 200.

"Not only is it important, but it also involves human life! Don't worry, I won't tell Mr. Smith that it was you who said it!"

Chen Zhengwei took out another $200, held it in his hand and looked at the other party.

The other party swallowed and whispered, "San Francisco..."

"Where?" Chen Zhengwei looked surprised.

"I heard Mr. Smith say today that he was going to San Francisco..."

"Thank you! Good people will always be rewarded!" Chen Zhengwei turned and left, then put the 200 yuan in his pocket.

His money didn't come from the wind. The 200 yuan is just for the other party to see.

It was just a piece of news, and 600 dollars was already a lot for him. Did he dare to tell Isaac Smith?
The other party looked at Chen Zhengwei's back in astonishment, opened his mouth, and finally muttered something with some dissatisfaction.

Damn, liar.

Fortunately, I still got 620 yuan.

……

"Didn't you see him?" Lin Changning asked as he watched Chen Zhengwei return to the carriage in disappointment.

"Fuck, people become worthless when they leave their hometown!" Chen Zhengwei cursed. After leaving San Francisco, everything became difficult for him to do.

"But that Smith Isaac actually went to San Francisco. Apparently he was going to investigate Stanford's affairs," said Chen Zhengwei.

"Which is more important, the Attorney General or the Governor?" Lin Changning asked.

"They are all important!" Chen Zhengwei's face was a little uncertain.

The governor could call up the militia in times of emergency, but the attorney general decided the truth of the Stanford case.

Chen Zhengwei brought 500,000 yuan this time just to deal with these two people.

As a result, I can't see either of them now, and one of them went to San Francisco.

"Damn it, I'm tied up here. At worst I can just go for it!" Chen Zhengwei cursed and made up his mind.

"Let's go back to the hotel first, and then go to the governor's residence in the evening to talk to him!" Chen Zhengwei planned to go directly to his door in the evening.

However, as soon as he returned to the hotel, he saw a group of policemen confronting his men with guns in the hotel lobby.

The leading policeman hid at the back and kept shouting: "Put down your guns. If you dare to resist, we will shoot!"

The team was led by the Sacramento Bureau of Investigation, who received a report that several Chinese had beaten up Murphy, the owner of the Old Time Cafe.

You have to know that Murphy himself is nothing special, but he is the governor's broker, which is an extraordinary identity.

So he immediately sent people to investigate, and found a group of Chinese people staying in the best hotels in the local area.

Then he brought people here.

Later, Chen Zhengwei saw it. Both sides drew their guns and confronted each other. The director of the investigation bureau also had a headache. He didn't expect these Chinese to be so tough and dared to draw their guns and resist arrest.

Moreover, the look in these people's eyes and their fierce temperament made him believe that they really dared to shoot.

At this time, Chen Zhengwei walked into the hotel with a group of people. After hearing this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered: "Shoot! If you don't shoot, I will look down on you!"

The people from the Investigation Bureau did not expect that another group of Chinese would appear behind them and they were immediately caught in the middle.

As soon as some of them turned around with guns in hand, the men around Chen Zhengwei had already pulled out their guns and pointed them at them.

Seeing this scene, the director of the investigation bureau felt his scalp tingling.

At the same time, he also knew that the real boss had arrived.

Tall, blue suit, black fedora, just as described.

"Chinese, I'm here to investigate the case of Murphy, the owner of the Old Time Cafe, being beaten up. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

"Is that so... Don't worry, I will definitely not make things difficult for you!" Chen Zhengwei narrowed his eyes, a bright smile appeared on his face, then he took off his suit jacket and draped it over the body of the henchman beside him.

"I saw him in the coffee shop this afternoon. He was the one who did it! Take him back!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

The henchman was stunned for a moment, then said with a tough face: "Yes, it was me who did it, catch me!"

"Okay, you have found the murderer, and your problem is solved! Now let's talk!" Chen Zhengwei waved to the detective of the Investigation Bureau, and then walked towards the coffee shop next to him.

The detective from the Investigation Bureau hesitated, glanced at the others, and then took two people and followed Chen Zhengwei to the side.

"I know you did it. You'd better come with me. I can see that you are not a simple person, but the person behind Murphy is the governor!" The director of investigation said directly in front of the table.

"So you can't afford to offend the governor, so you come to arrest me?" Chen Zhengwei laughed sarcastically, then his eyes turned cold, and he said word by word:

“You can’t mess with the governor, so why do you think you can mess with me?”

The director of investigation found it a little ridiculous. How could this Chinese man have the confidence to think he could compare with the governor?

"It has nothing to do with those things. The most important thing is that you broke the law and injured someone! Come back to the police station with me first, and I will release you after the investigation. You can also ask a lawyer for bail!" said the director of investigation.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Chen Zhengwei's expression suddenly turned fierce: "He's the one who beat me up, arrest him if you want!"

"Then I asked a lawyer to bail him out!"

"You'd better not fucking mess with me! Otherwise I'll send your whole family to swim in the sea!" Chen Zhengwei said viciously. He was already in a bad mood and someone was about to take him down.

Sacramento's chief of investigation looked livid.

"Is this a threat?"

This Chinese person is too arrogant and too bold!
"No, this is a friendly reminder! Otherwise, there will be thousands or ten thousand Chinese here in two days. Who knows who sent your family to swim?"

"My subordinates have bad personalities, and sometimes I can't control them!"

Chen Zhengwei leaned back in his chair and said to the person beside him, "Bring the bag over here."

Li Xiwen put the bag on the table, and Chen Zhengwei opened a bag full of cash.

The investigation director's breathing stagnated. When a large amount of cash was placed in front of him, there was a shocking momentum.

The most important thing is, what is the purpose of the other party to come to Sacramento with so much money? Who is he looking for to do the work?
Especially since the other party has been to the Old Time Cafe.

"I'm here to do some work, I don't want to cause any trouble!" Chen Zhengwei took out two stacks of paper and put them on the table: "I'm here to treat you to tea!"

"Take the money and get out of here!"

The director of investigation hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to take your man away!" "Don't let my man suffer in there, I'll ask a lawyer to bail him out tonight!" Chen Zhengwei waved his hand impatiently.

The chief of investigation took the two stacks of money and told the others to pack up, and at the same time took away Chen Zhengwei's henchman.

"This is fucking how people feel when they leave their hometown!" Chen Zhengwei sighed again, and then ordered:

"Send a telegram and ask Rong Jiacai to keep an eye out. Isaac Smith has taken people to San Francisco to investigate. I guess he'll go meet other Republican members!"

"Find another lawyer and get him out on bail!"

"Where is the room?" Chen Zhengwei stood up and went upstairs under the guidance of his men.

Originally, the hotel only agreed to give them two rooms, but after the confrontation between Chen Zhengwei's men and the Investigation Bureau, and the subsequent departure of the Investigation Bureau people in disgrace, the hotel quickly booked the remaining rooms.

Chen Zhengwei and his people booked an entire floor.

After arriving in the room, Chen Zhengwei stretched out on the sofa, becoming more and more impatient and irritable.

Since I came here, nothing has gone well.

He didn't plan to waste any more time and went directly to the governor's house in the evening.

Money in one hand, a gun in the other.

Let's all be simple and rough.

If the other party disagrees, the worst that can happen is that we break out of Sacramento and then the two sides start a civil war.

Otherwise they think they are easy to bully!

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when Chen Zhengwei left the hotel. After a quick look around, he found people from the Investigation Bureau left here.

Apparently they left someone here to keep an eye on me after they left.

"Go and say hello to them and let them go home and go to bed early!" Chen Zhengwei pointed to a carriageway on the side of the road.

There were indeed people from the Investigation Bureau in the carriage, who were watching Chen Zhengwei. They felt something was wrong when they saw the thugs coming.

Sure enough, the horseman knocked on the window, and after the people inside opened the carriage window, the horseman said, "Our boss says hello to you. It's getting late now, you can go home and sleep!"

The people from the Investigation Bureau in the carriage saw that they had been discovered, hesitated for a moment, and then let the carriage leave.

Chen Zhengwei then took a carriage straight to the governor's residence.

The governor's mansion in Sacramento is not big. It looks like a two-story house for ordinary rich people, with a garden outside.

However, before they could get close, Chen Zhengwei and his group were stopped by bodyguards at the intersection.

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to visit Mr. Owen!" Chen Zhengwei said as he opened the window of the carriage.

"No one notified us, so we can't let you in. You'd better leave here now!" one of the bodyguards said.

"I got the news that tens of thousands of Chinese are preparing to rebel. Are you sure Mr. Owen won't see me?" Chen Zhengwei glanced at the other party.

"If I turn around and leave now, I think he'll hang you!"

After Chen Zhengwei said this, the two bodyguards were indeed undecided.

"You wait here!" One person stayed behind to watch the carriage of Chen Zhengwei and others, while the other went back to notify them.

A moment later, Owen got the news in the study: "Chinese?"

"Tens of thousands of people are preparing to rebel?"

"Are the people here Chinese?"

Owen frowned. He could feel that there was something strange about this Chinese man, but since the matter was of great importance, he decided to meet him.

"Bring him here, only him!"

After a while, several bodyguards came closer and looked at the line of carriages vigilantly.

"Mr. Owen wants to see you, but only you!"

"Wait for me here!" Chen Zhengwei ordered, then got off the carriage and picked up the largest bag, which contained 30 yuan.

"You are only allowed in, and you are not allowed to bring anything!"

Chen Zhengwei smiled as he opened the bag, revealing the money inside, and then threw it on the ground.

"Are you sure you don't want me to bring these in?"

When the bodyguards saw the money, their eyes became dizzy. Then they checked the bag and found nothing inside except the money.

"We'll hold these for you!"

Someone else came forward to check whether Chen Zhengwei was carrying any weapons.

Chen Zhengwei was then brought into the governor's residence and directly into the living room.

Chen Zhengwei looked around and sat down without any hesitation.

A moment later, William Evanston Owen came into the living room. He was an old man about 60 years old with completely white hair, but he looked in good spirits.

He already knew that Chen Zhengwei also brought a bag of money.

I know today’s matter is not that simple.

When he came to the living room and saw Chen Zhengwei sitting carelessly on the sofa, William Owen frowned, then walked over and sat down opposite Chen Zhengwei.

"You are the one who injured Murphy, right? You can tell me what you are here for, Chinese!"

"You said that tens of thousands of Chinese are going to rebel. Is that true or false? You wouldn't tell such a big lie just to see me? Do you know what the consequences will be?" William Owen said in a deep voice.

Chen Zhengwei waved to William Owen's bodyguard, signaling him to bring the bag of money over.

Chen Zhengwei took the bag and poured all the money inside onto the coffee table.

Piled into a small hill.

Owen glanced at the money in front of him, then turned his gaze to Chen Zhengwei's face, waiting for him to speak:

"This is three hundred thousand!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"Make friends with Mr. Irving!"

"Many Chinese Americans in the United States have been treated unfairly. I don't think this should be the case. The most important thing in this world is fairness!"

“Right now, it’s not fair what a lot of people are being treated like.”

"So you came here just to bribe me? What I didn't expect is that Chinese people are so rich!" Owen said without comment.

Although politicians take money, they don't take all kinds of money.

"It seems that the so-called tens of thousands of Chinese who want to rebel are fake? You lied to me?" Owen's eyes became sharp.

"If you don't accept the money, then it will be true!" Chen Zhengwei took out a cigarette box and put a cigarette in his mouth.

"Let's have a man-to-man showdown, a civil war!"

"Then all Americans will know that you forced the minorities in your own state to rebel! Causing the deaths of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people!"

"You will go down in history and be recorded forever in American history!"

"Of course, it's the kind that is tainted!"

"Your family will forever bear this stain!"

"When people mention the Irving family, they will associate it with the persecution of minorities. Your family will always be a disgrace to the United States!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.
