Chapter 98: The Informer
On the bonfire, Wang Xuance was smoking boredly. It was already time for dinner. Pearson was cooking soup. Wang Xuance looked at it. It was still a stew of fish soup, and it couldn't even bring up any taste. Wang Xuance simply went out to cook some prey by himself.
Dutch and Arthur had already returned and returned to the tent.
Arthur is the second-in-command in the gang. After all, what Dutch values most is combat effectiveness. Although Hosea is very wise, his combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as Arthur.
Hosea is considered a think tank in the gang, and many actions are formulated by Hosea.
Stand up from the bonfire and walked to Arthur's tent: "Arthur, I'm going to go and collect some prey. Are you coming?"
Arthur didn't even want to eat stewed soup, so he simply went hunting with Wang Xuance.
In fact, there are also many prey around Cape Clemons, but because it is a camp, it is impossible to shoot, so the two of them still go away to hunt.
The two of them arrived all the way to Jumeng Rock, which was far from the camp. In addition, there were actually many animals here, so they simply used this place as a hunting ground.
Both of them had good marksmanship, and there were a lot of prey here, so they quickly hit a deer and three rabbits.
Arthur raised the bonfire, Wang Xuance peeled the rabbit and put it on a wooden stick, then took out two bottles of wine and some seasonings from the saddle bag.
Wine is very common, but seasoning is actually unnecessary for gangs. After all, this kind of thing can be found on the ground at any time.
When I was in the Horseshoe Watchtower before, Aunt Susan asked Arthur to find seasonings, such as creeping thyme. On the ground in the west, you can find a lot of them by just looking for them.
Soon, the meat was baked.
"It smells good." Arthur rarely did not mock him.
Wang Xuance smiled and said, "Of course it's good. You know, these seasonings were something I finally sold."
Arthur picked up a rabbit and tore down a piece of meat: "I used to only take the few pieces of meat that the rabbit could eat, but I didn't expect that the rabbit's legs could taste so delicious."
"In the United States, I want to eat such a good thing, but it's not easy. I got these seasonings for a lot of money from the Qing people in Saint Denis." Wang Xuance also picked up a rabbit, smelled it, and then pulled off a rabbit leg and tasted it slowly.
After the two of them finished eating the prey they had called, they were ready to return to the camp.
It was very peaceful on the road. After all, the incident in New Hanover had not been spread here before, and the bounty hunters and Pinkerton had not searched here.
For Lemoen, they are completely civilians, the kind who do not have any evidence on them.
As for Wang Xuance, it is even cleaner.
Although Wang Xuance and Arthur and others robbed a train in New Hanover before, Wang Xuance did not reveal his appearance.
So even if Pinkerton chased him, he would not be able to get involved with him at all, let alone, he is now the spokesperson of the Risswright family, and he is considered the appearance of Risswright.
If he was targeted without evidence, then Riswright's current strength would be not weak.
If it doesn’t mean the political power on the surface, just talking about the secret white gloves, it’s not easy to provoke.
Not far from the camp, there was a man hiding in the dark, observing that was Sean who was arranged to guard.
This time he finally did not sleep, but was seriously inspecting the surrounding situation.
This kid Sean is still very popular, especially this kid is very obedient.
Although his marksmanship is not good and his fighting skills are very poor, obedience is this kid's biggest advantage.
Sometimes, a pig teammate can make people angry, or even more than that, and may kill everyone, but an obedient little brother will make the action easier.
"What do you think of the private wine you brought here before?" Arthur was about to arrive at the camp, and suddenly smelled a scent of wine. Although it was very light, because of the close distance, Arthur also knew the approximate hiding place.
Wang Xuance was stunned: "I don't know. I don't like this kind of private wine, the degree is too high."
"Okay, maybe you should learn how to drink this kind of wine. You should know that this kind of wine is what men should drink." Arthur smiled and said no to forgive him.
"Shut up, Arthur!" Wang Xuance didn't care, but he still scolded him.
Arthur didn't care about Wang Xuance's scolding. After all, this was just a means for both parties to reflect their feelings.
After returning to the camp, I moved a little and listened to Javier's singing.
It can be said that when Javier is in the camp, he will basically sing one or two songs. The melody is rough and beautiful, with a unique Mexican flavor and rich emotions.
This is basically one of the daily entertainment activities for people in the camp.
Kieran is here too, and he is slowly trying to integrate into the camp.
But in fact, because Kieran was in the Odrisco gang before, although he has been trying to integrate now, except for Arthur and Bill, others are not actually welcomed Kieran.
Although he did not refuse Kiran's integration, he was not enthusiastic, and it was still a bit worse than others.
After all, Ducky did not make it clear that Kiran would join, so it would be even more unlikely for others to accept Kiran.
Wang Xuance gave Kiran a look. Kiran knew what Wang Xuance meant, but he had not made up his mind yet. And he didn't know if he really told Daqi to leave the gang, would Daqi break himself up with one shot?
When he was captured by the Vanderlinder Gang, Kieran realized that there was no difference between the Vanderlinder Gang and the Odrisco Gang, and they were all a bunch of outlaws gathered together.
Although the Vanderlinder Gang has a group of old, young, women and children, which seems to be different from other gangs, what about?
The gang decides the matter. Although the others are qualified to speak, they still do not listen. They are still in Duck. There is always only one who makes the decision.
Others will not do things that Dutch does not allow, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. It is indeed like this now.
So when he was in the gang camp, Kieran was always careful, and the only people they communicated with were girls. As for the fighters, there were only Arthur and Sean Bill, who were easier to talk to.
Arthur believed in Kiran because he saved his life before.
Bill is because Arthur accepted Kieran, and he also likes this hardworking boy.
Sean felt that he should have a younger brother, and the other combatants were better than him, only Kieran, who had just joined the gang, was the most suitable person to be his younger brother.
At night, after listening to Javier's singing, it was past ten o'clock. If it were in his previous life, Wang Xuance would never sleep at this time. You must know that this time is the time when nightlife begins.
But in this era and in this world, there was really no entertainment, so Wang Xuance still lay on the bed obediently.
But there is good news. Although the camp is located by the water, there are fewer mosquitoes, so there is no need for mosquito nets or mosquito coils when sleeping.
The next day, Wang Xuance went to Lodz Town to do business. The fat man he had inquired had already heard of.
Because before going to work with Archbird, Leigh promised that if it was done well, a few people would become law enforcement citizens of Rhodes.
Simply put, it is the numbered policeman of Rhodes.
Li is different from Tavesh. He always believes that only police have the power to enforce the law, while others such as bounty hunters are just creators of chaos.
Wang Xuance's view is actually the same as Li, but Wang Xuance was caused by the environment in his previous life, and Li was because Rhodes's police department has always been in the hands of the Gray family, so it is called the police department, but it is actually the Gray family.
What he wants is that all power is in the hands of the Gray family, so that they can gain profits.
A tavern.
In front of Wang Xuance was a middle-aged man in a somewhat worn out dress.
"Mr. Pace, the news you conveyed before is that Fat Tom is preparing to return to the Droop Ranch, right?" Wang Xuance told him not to be nervous.
"Yes." Although Pace was no longer so nervous after Wang Xuance's comfort, he was still a little trembling.
Pace's full name is Boy Pace. He is not a secret stake established by the Risswallet family. After all, even if the Risswallet family already has a great influence in Lemoen, these gangs are actually rats underground.
Usually no one cares about them. They only go back to consider dealing with them after these mice stole their food.
Therefore, there is no situation where you can install stakes into these wild gangs. When you need it, you can bribe one of them by spending a little money and then get most of the information.
Pace is the informant that Wang Xuance unexpectedly obtained.
Pace has a family in Saint-Denis, and he has three children. It is a bit difficult for him to raise three children, so he developed some side jobs, such as selling news.
Usually, he is the train leader, but if he is short of money, he doesn't mind selling some news to hyenas wandering in the wilderness - those gangs. Of course, the gang will also give him some share of the money. Although it is definitely not as much as you get directly robbed, it is definitely much safer.
Because the guards on the train knew that he was the train driver, they would not attack him, and the gang members also knew that this person sold them the news, so they knocked him out at most.
According to him, he has done this activity many times and has not been discovered yet.
It was an accident that Wang Xuance knew that he was the liaison officer of the Odrisco Gang.
During the time of St. Denis, once when he was chasing a fugitive, he accidentally saw Pace chatting with several members of the Odrisco gang.
