The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 503 The Chinese is Coming

The farmer's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and when he saw other Chinese people pointing guns at him, he felt a chill on his back.

The Chinese leader continued to ask the black man: "Who is the KKK member you know? Is it him?"

The black man shook his head: "It's from the town..."

"Think about it carefully. If it's him, not only will you get the 30 dollars, but he will also be caught and tried. He will definitely not have the chance to retaliate against you!" said the Chinese leader with a bad look on his face.

"It was Frank from town... I saw him holding KKK clothes with my own eyes, and he even said he was going to burn me to death!" said the black man.

"What about him? Does he have any connection with the KKK? I think he is also a member of the KKK, otherwise why don't they let you speak? Are you afraid that he will retaliate against you, or are you afraid of losing your job?" The Chinese man took a look at the farmer who was holding his legs and groaning, and asked again unwillingly.

"Don't worry, as long as he has any connection with the KKK, you will definitely not see him again."

"I'm not, I'm not a member of the KKK... I don't let them say it because I'm afraid of retaliation from the KKK!" The farmer shouted, covering his legs. He realized that this group of Chinese people were just looking for an excuse to kill him.

The Chinese thug who led the team pulled out his gun and fired several shots at the ground near his feet, scaring the farmer so much that he kept shrinking back.

"You are afraid of the KKK, but not of us, right?" the Chinese man sneered.

After repeatedly asking and confirming that the farmer was indeed not a member of the KKK, he reluctantly gave up the idea of killing him.

"You come with us. Once we catch the person and confirm his identity, we will give you the reward on the spot! You don't have to go into the town, just wait outside!"

"Also, if he dares to retaliate against you...you can come find us in Houston!"

Soon, the group rode away on horseback. The farmer finally breathed a sigh of relief and then yelled to the blacks, "I'm injured. Can't you see? Help me get back!"

"Everyone else get to work! Are you done with your work for the day?"

The farmer's attitude caused some black people's eyes to change, but most of them were still numb.

They didn't dare leave the farm because the KKK was everywhere outside... The farmers would often scare them with stories about the KKK, for fear that these black people would run away under exploitation.

Although they were not slaves, their lives were not much better than those of slaves.

However, the appearance of those Chinese still caused a little ripple in their hearts and gave them a little more hope.

With the sound of horse hooves, more than twenty riders arrived at the nearby town.

After asking about Frank's appearance and identity, a group of people rushed directly into the town.

The menacing appearance caused many people in the town to stop and watch, and some people had already returned home and picked up their rifles.

"Where is Frank?" More than twenty riders stopped at a grocery store. Some of them jumped off their horses and rushed into the grocery store, where Frank usually worked.

"Who are you? I'm the sheriff here!" A man nearby walked over with a pistol on his waist, looking at the group vigilantly.

"According to the latest regulations in Houston, all suspected KKK members must be arrested!" One of the Chinese threw over a notice.

He then took out a sheriff's badge and put it on his chest.

The town sheriff looked at the badge on the man's chest and frowned, "There is no KKK here!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether or not there is the KKK!" the Chinese man on the horse sneered.

Soon, a brown-haired man in his thirties was pinned down in the grocery store. He struggled madly and shouted, "I'm not from the KKK! You got the wrong guy!"

However, a few minutes later, someone took out a white robe and hood from the room inside the grocery store and threw them on the ground: "You are not the KKK? What is this?"

"Tie him up and take him away!"

"Ask if there's anyone in this town who's been murdered!"

When Frank was taken to the street, he shouted at the onlookers: "These yellow monkeys are here to take our land and jobs, and to take our rights!"

"They're going to turn this place into a place for yellow monkeys! And then they're going to take everything from us!"

These words immediately inspired a lot of people. Other white people started to make noises, and many of them took out old-fashioned rifles and revolvers: "You'd better stop and let him go!"

Seeing this scene, the Chinese jumped off their horses and took out their submachine guns.

"Let's see which is faster, your gun or ours!"

"Houston has just enacted a law to crack down on the KKK thugs. Reporting a KKK member will cost you $3, and killing a KKK member will cost you $3!"

"KKK scalps are worth as much as Indians!"

After hearing this, many white people's faces changed.

"If you know anyone who is a member of the KKK, please report it to us directly!"

"If you stop us, it won't be us who come next time, but the army. All of you will be arrested for colluding with the KKK! You'd better think it over!" The Chinese leader sneered, and then fired a volley of bullets into the sky.

The muzzle flash and the rain-like sound of gunfire made the white people in the town pale.

"Is there anyone who wants to stop us now?" the Chinese man continued.

"Put down your guns!" The town sheriff hesitated and signaled everyone to put down their guns.

Then a group of people grabbed Frank and left, but they didn't go too far. As soon as they left the town, they tied Frank to a tree and tortured him to see if there were any other KKK members in the town.

Accompanied by screams, in less than half an hour, Frank told everything he knew.

"Brother Wei once said that death is easy. But few people can withstand severe torture!" said the thug while leaning against the roadside and smoking.

"There are still three KKK members in this town, two of whom went to a nearby farm. We will split up and catch them later!"

"Where is that black man? Give him the bounty!" As they were talking, a white man with ordinary clothes, thin figure and greasy look caught up with them on horseback.

"I know a member of the KKK! Do you really have a bonus?"

"This is a bonus given by the Houston government. Do you think the Houston government will cheat you?"

"That's hard to say!" the slick white man said sarcastically. "Those capitalists only think about how to exploit us poor people."

In fact, most people in the United States, let alone the federal government, don’t even trust local governments.

The Chinese leader took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Can you tell me now?"

The slick man looked at the money in his hand with a little greed in his eyes. He swallowed and said, "I know two people. They must be the KKK! I heard them talking once..."

Soon the man told the news he knew.

The two people he mentioned were exactly two of the three people Frank mentioned.

"Frank has already talked about the two people you mentioned!" the Chinese leader said directly.

"So you're not going to give me any money?"

"No, even though he said that, I will still give it to you. This is a reward, and it also tells you that we keep our word!" The Chinese man smiled and took out $60 from the stack of money and handed it to him.

"If you know any more news, please let us know at any time! Or go to Houston and look for Chinese people there, or go to the police station!"

Taking the $60 from the Chinese, the white man's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

After the white man left, the other henchmen asked, "What about Frank?"

"Take it with you first, and then find a place to dispose of it!"

"The dead KKK is the good KKK!"

Soon, the group rushed into the town again and captured another KKK member.

This kind of situation has occurred from time to time in rural areas and small towns near Houston in recent days.

Soon, both the black laborers on the farms and the residents of the small town, even those who were least informed, learned about the crackdown on the KKK.

In particular, the existence of the bonus directly undermined the roots of the KKK.

In addition, some white people have also been attacked by the KKK and are full of hatred towards the KKK.

As a result, people continued to report the KKK.

Large sums of money were paid out, and a large number of KKK members active in rural areas were killed or arrested.

Almost every day, Chinese horse teams returned to Houston and threw the KKK members, who were covered in wounds and tied up with ropes, into the police jail.

Once they go to prison, the next consequence that awaits them is being sent to work on road construction.

In two or three years at most, you will be exhausted to death.

The bonuses donated by Houston's wealthy are also given directly to the city government, and a separate department is set up to distribute the bonuses.

However, it is usually the Chinese security team that leads the team out of the city, and after catching the KKK members, they give the bonus on the spot, and then come back with the KKK member's mark to exchange for the bonus.

There will inevitably be some filler in the middle, but Chen Zhengwei doesn't care since he doesn't pay for it.

In just one week, more than 3000 KKK members were arrested around Houston.

Chen Zhengwei estimates that there are only about 3 real KKK members, or even fewer.

But again, it wasn't his money.

Only then did Chen Zhengwei allow the newspaper to publish the news.

"Local tycoons generously pledge to eradicate the atrocities of the Ku Klux Klan"

"Houston businesses jointly invest to fight the KKK"

After the KKK retaliated and killed the mayor of Houston, Houston's wealthy people donated money and raised more than $3 as a bonus to fight the KKK.

There is also the amount donated by each wealthy person.

Chen Zhengwei's move directly cut off the possibility of these wealthy people colluding with the KKK in private.

This news caused quite a stir in Texas and attracted the attention of other cities in Texas.

After all, there has been too much news about Houston in recent times, one after another.

All of this started after the Chinese man came.

Chen Zhengwei hosted another banquet and then went to Galveston to talk to the Galveston City Government and local celebrities, and to take a look at the situation at the port there.

Although Galveston is an island city, it is connected to Houston by rail, and the two cities are very close.

The train only takes 2 to 3 hours.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhengwei got off the train, along with Green and more than 20 Chinese men in hunting suits.

Chen Zhengwei now has only this option of taking the train. Without anyone knowing, he brings a small number of bodyguards and tries to travel inconspicuously to avoid someone blowing up the train.

When these Chinese appeared at the train station, the news spread quickly throughout Galveston.

The Chinese man is coming!
