The two walked to another ticket gate at the post office. Although no one was inside the post office, Alden in the post office went to the other side for safety and began to receive Arthur and the others.
"Hello, Alden." Trilawney said with a relaxed tone, even with a smile.
"Oh, Josiah, how are you doing recently?" Alden looked at the acquaintance of Trelawney, and he was also smiling.
After all, Trelawney often invited him to drink, so the relationship between the two was quite good due to Trelawney's deliberate cater to him.
"Very good. Friend, where are you?" Trelawney said politely, making people suspect that he was a well-educated gentleman who had been wandering in the upper class.
But Trelawney himself didn't think so. He always thought that he was just an artist who pursued excitement.
Those who were deceived by him were just not smart enough, their own performance props.
"Ah." Alden sighed: "Like I said, life has never been easy. My wife is a terrible woman, she is not a good person."
"Don't worry, Alden. Women are like this. But, how are you doing recently?" Trilawney said, holding the ticket counter with one hand and showing his approval while crossing his waist.
Alden continued to sigh: "It's so bad. Recently our salary has been reduced. The people above believe that after inventing a carriage that does not require a horse, we will never be able to use it again."
"Oh, don't worry, my friend. Those unscrupulous bosses have been saying this since the wheel was invented, which is simply nonsense." Trilawney signaled Alden not to worry.
"That's right. My colleagues and I wanted to do our best to do our jobs, but we felt discouraged because of the bosses' behavior." Although Alden was comforted by Trelawney, he still felt a little worried.
It is difficult to find a job now, especially for a more stable job. If he loses this job, he will doubt where he will find food tomorrow.
"A discouraged man is not a real man, Alden... not at all. My friend Arthur has prepared a gift for you, and I hope you like it."
Trelawney pulled Arthur, who was standing aside and doing nothing, and made a money gesture, "Arthur, I'll leave it to you next."
Arthur stood in front of the window, took a dollar out of his bag and handed it to Alden.
Alden took the money and put it back in his bag: "Oh, sir, you are so generous."
"Just call him Arthur, he is one of our people. Everyone knows." Trilawney said nothing.
"Very good." Alden felt relieved when he heard this, and then he took out a record of the departure time of today's carriage: "Look, the time is very good now. I think you will definitely like it, Josiah."
He took out a piece of paper and wrote some words on it: "It will come from the south, then pass through the riverside, and pass through the muddy shore."
After writing, Alden handed the note to Arthur.
Seeing Arthur get the note, Trelawney thanked Alden for thanking him, and then prepared to leave with Arthur, but was stopped by Alden.
"Oh, Josiah, you, or Arthur, when you pass by Strawberry Town. You can go there to find me while Hector. So is he, well, what do you call us?"
"A discouraged man. Alden."
"Yes. A discouraged man. I like this statement." After Alden said that, he signaled the two to leave here. He had seen others come in.
"Goodbye Alden. Or, I should say, there will be a date later?" Trilawney finished speaking and bowed.
The two walked out of the post office, and Arthur looked at the note Alden gave him, which was the travel information of a carriage.
"What are you doing?" Arthur scratched his head, a little confused about what they were doing.
His purpose here seemed to be to give the ticket seller a dollar and get a message from him.
"Ahh, I thought you would like this kind of communication without explanation." Trilawney smiled.
"He said to walk along the riverside through the muddy shore." Arthur said the contents of the note he had just received.
Trelawney recalled the map: "Ah, I know there is a good place that is perfect for ambushing."
Just as Arthur followed Trelawney to work on his small plan, Wang Xuance was receiving Jock Grey at the Mountain View Hotel, who is Li's brother and one of the deputy police chiefs of the police station.
Wang Xuance sat on the chair, and on the other chair on the table was the newly arrived Jock.
"Hello, Mr. Jock Gray." He poured Jock a glass of white wine, not whiskey or gin, but white wine made by Shen Yi.
In comparison, the aroma of liquor is stronger than that of whiskey, but it is not too pungent. Moreover, liquor does not need to add ice to adjust its taste.
The wine brewed by Shenyi is a sauce-flavored type similar to Maotai. Of course, there is no different aromas of various wines yet.
Perhaps because his hometown is in Guizhou, the wine he brewed was also made by their ancient methods.
This wine has no advantage in taste compared to whiskey or rum, at most it is a little stronger.
But this little advantage is enough for this wine to gain a firm foothold here.
The most important thing is that the brewing of Chinese liquor is simpler than whiskey, and it is also easier to store.
For whiskey, you need to find a wooden barrel to specially store it, and it is easy to be affected by other things. However, white wine is not so delicate, and it can be easily preserved with an ordinary glass bottle.
At least, this kind of wine brewed by Shen Yi is like this.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jock picked up the wine glass and smelled a strong smell of wine: "Oh, this is what your people brew? It smells really good."
He said, taking another sip. Suddenly, he seemed to swallow a dagger. After choking for two sips, he took a moment before speaking: "Oh, my God, this wine is really good."
Wang Xuance smiled and said, "It's not bad, I think it's not bad too. Moreover, this is the original liquor without any improvements. It can be improved according to the taste of customers in the future."
"Oh my god. Is this true? Then I think I will be looking forward to the subsequent wine." Jock complimented twice.
This was his first time drinking this kind of wine. Although he thought it tasted pretty good, he didn't know what others would feel.
But after all, the two parties are temporarily considered a cooperative relationship, so it is appropriate for him to give a few compliments. As for whether he can sell it for money in the future? What does it have to do with him? He is only responsible for collecting taxes.
On the other side, the police station.
Leigh Gray is still like an alcoholic, holding a large bottle of private wine in his hand and drinking. In front of him, there is a fat man, Scott Gray of the Gray family.
The two were talking, and the content was formally recruiting gunmen to escort the 'gold'.
It was not that the two of them knew that someone was eavesdropping outside, but because of Tavish's request that outside, whether there were or not, the escort of gold must be confirmed.
Although everyone in the Gray family knew that there was no gold in their family, Tavish said that some people wanted this non-existent gold, and their plan was to catch the group in one fell swoop.
So, in order to plan, everyone must believe that there is really this gold in the family.
The news that Mica heard was that there was indeed such a sum of gold, and there was still a lot of gold, about one hundred yuan, worth about fifty thousand dollars.
This news is simply a fortune from heaven when it comes to being big, and he has many gunmen under his command. As long as he puts a few of his own people in the escort team, the gold is his own pocket.
For 50,000 US dollars, this amount is still a lot, almost one-third of the money in Hei Water Town.
When they were in Hei Shui Town, they lost several people to get the 150,000 US dollars. Now, as long as they do whatever they want, they can deliver the money to their own hands.
Thinking of this, Dutch even felt his hands numb.
Bill had said before that he had joined the escort team of the Gray family. Now, as long as you find a few more people, you can turn the escort team into their own people.
If the Gray family really had this gold, it would have been successful by Darqi, but in fact, this so-called gold was a scam.
Because this gold was given to the Northern Army by the ancestors of the Gray family a long time ago.
The current "gold" is just a bait designed by Tavesh to make trouble for the two big families.
Wang Xuance, who came out of the Mountain View Hotel, also heard the gold of the two major families that were discussing in the whole town. He shook his head and knew that this was a trap.
Qiao Ke, who walked out from behind, saw Wang Xuance's shaking his head. He asked in confusion: "Mr. Henry, are there any problems? I see you shaking your head?"
"It's nothing, I just saw that it seemed like everyone was discussing the gold of your family overnight, and it felt a little magical. Because according to my understanding, your gold does not seem to exist at all, otherwise you would not stay here to develop, but would expand your own industry and leave Rhodes."
Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Jock retorted: "We two major families do have gold, but they were buried underground before, but something has happened recently. You also know that Rhodes has not been peaceful recently, so we plan to send gold to St. Dennis."
