"Sir, come and see this."
Liang Hui asked someone to open a large iron box. Inside were more than a dozen red steel gloves. The joints were connected with leather and iron parts with steel nails. A golden dial was installed on the elbow. Two steam pipes ran through the entire arm, embedded On the ring armor on the wrist. Very metallic.
The worker used a carving knife to open the shell, and showed Liang Hui and Li Yan the hot pot-shaped triathlon ball and steam engine in operation.
"This is the hand part of a steam guard in active service. It is old and can't be seen without careful inspection. It can operate independently. There is no arms dealer in San Francisco who sells complete individual equipment, so we can only have one It took a long time to piece it together from one family to another. Finally, it¡¯s almost ready.¡±
Li Yan picked up the gauntlet and tried to put it on.
Liang Hui narrowed his eyes, and hurried forward to add: "Although this gauntlet is not equipped with firepower equipment, it is very strong, and after turning on the steam ball, it can greatly enhance the user's arm strength."
"What are you purchasing these things for?"
"In just two days since the new law was promulgated, Hop Shing has taken in at least a thousand homeless compatriots from all over the country. They used to build railways, open mines, grow crops, grow fruits and vegetables, do small businesses, and keep themselves safe. Now they are expelled, dismissed, and even killed for no reason. The Chinatown occupied by Hop Shing is the largest Chinese gathering place in San Francisco, and there were two huge riots and fires. We need to defend ourselves.¡±
Li Yan nodded: "Very reasonable concerns. So what did you ask me to do?"
Liang Hui peeked at Li Yan's face: "I united with other outlets, as well as the Chinese businessmen of the Chinese General Association, to organize a large-scale boycott movement. I also held strikes against the railway company and major factories, so I would like to ask Mr. Opinion."
"This is not a matter for me to intervene, after all, this is your home."
Liang Hui blinked. He always felt that Li Yan's words were somewhat teasing, but they were not aimed at him.
"However" Li Yan changed the subject: "You may be in trouble."
Liang Hui frowned: "What?"
Sudden sirens sounded in the street, and a few clockwork flying balls took the lead, followed by a loud and powerful steam car, and went straight to Liang Hui's house in a menacing manner.
Li Yan rubbed the gauntlet of his right hand with great interest, but Liang Hui's face suddenly sank.
The sound of heavy footsteps sounded one after another, and several Pinkerton agents were wearing individual security guards. The steam boxes on their shoulders rumbled out smoke, and the temperature of the entire room was a little higher.
"If you don't have a search warrant, it's trespassing."
Maids with pigtails try to keep the agents from entering.
Duke Weilang lowered his head and said to the maid in a low voice: "I am not a city policeman, and I must be more qualified than you to interpret the laws of this land."
"Forget it, let them in."
Liang Hui greeted, then hurriedly lowered his voice: "Sir, why don't you go to the inner courtyard to rest first?"
"You are busy with your work."
Li Yan didn't lift his eyelids.
Liang Hui had a somewhat worried look on his face. Although he firmly believed in the divine power of the blue-clothed emperor, he still couldn't forget that this was an era of steam and prosperity.
If something big happens, the Hesheng family will have a big business, and it will definitely be implicated.
Duke Weilang smiled at the maid, and then walked towards Liang Hui: "You are the leader of Hesheng, Liang Hui? You are younger than the picture, I really can't believe you are already half buried in the ground Dude. I'm Agent Duke of Pinkerton, and I suspect you're hiding opium and contraband weapons. Searching your house, aha."
When Duke Weilang saw the arm armor on Li Yan's hand and the iron box standing on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Let me catch a current one."
He walked over quickly, but unexpectedly, instead of provoking Li Yan, who was standing next to Liang Hui and fiddled with the arm armor, he took out the same model of parts from the iron box and gestured to Liang Hui.
"What's this?"
"My boys have to move thousands of tons of fruits, vegetables, meat, and various daily necessities onto trains and ships every day. Business is so busy these days, so I bought some equipment to speed up work efficiency. These are only civilian models. No Equipped with explosives, perfectly legal, Mr. Detective."
Liang Hui's face remained unchanged.
"It doesn't matter if you say it's legal or not."
Duke sneered, and called out to Liang, who his agents wanted to search.? yard.
"please wait a while."
Liang Hui interrupted Detective Duke.
"Are you going to discuss search warrants and judicial procedures with me?"
"That's not true. I've heard about Pinkerton's deeds. What's more, after the new law passed, the police station almost refused to accept our cases. I want to say that you have fewer people."
Duke Weilang glanced at Liang Hui in surprise.
Liang Hui looked at the agents behind Duke Weilang: "One, two, three fifteen people? My house is only this big, but I guarantee you won't find anything. Think about it, if you Want to find something"
Liang Hui raised his crutches and pointed to the door.
I don't know when, the streets are full of people, whether it's buskers, barbers, or hawkers, they all gather together. It seems that there are hundreds of people, and they are constantly approaching the steam car parked by Duke Weilang at the door. The crowd is still gathering in the distance.
Several detectives guarding the car raised their guns and yelled loudly, but with little effect.
"You should send more agents to search door-to-door for the prohibited weapons and opium you said. If you do this, maybe you will get something."
Click it.
On the side, Li Yan accidentally disassembled the entire small triathlon ball from the arm armor, and couldn't help laughing.
Duke approached Liang Hui's face with a gloomy expression: "I'm here this time just to say hello to you. San Francisco is not a place where you bedbugs can act recklessly."
"Tsk tsk" Liang Hui shook his head: "I heard this kind of talk from the construction of the sea railway more than ten years ago, and I still don't understand it. Where are we acting recklessly?"
Duke spat and said loudly, "Move all these steam components away."
Some of Hesheng's thugs glared at him and couldn't hold back his grumpy temper. These parts were expensive, and Hesheng was very distressed when he took out the money.
"Cough cough cough~"
Liang Hui coughed suddenly, he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and secretly shook his head at his subordinates.
Several detectives moved the iron boxes containing steam components with expressionless faces.
"And you, take off your hands."
As Duke said, he moved the arm armor on Li Yan's arm, which scared Liang Hui out of his wits.
"I don't think you have the right to do that, Mr. Pinkerton."
Seeing that Duke's hand was about to touch Li Yan, a voice came from outside the door.
A well-dressed bearded man with a suitcase came in: "I am Redrick, hired by Miss Dorothy to sue the city hall on behalf of all the deported Chinese residents for "forced eviction" Claims for the loss of the destroyed houses and shops and the loss of personal belongings. If you insist on your actions just now, I don¡¯t mind adding you, the name of the business company that hired you, to the list of plaintiffs.¡±
"Dorothy? The play star Dorothy?"
Duke asked in disbelief. But he didn't pay attention to the way Li Yan looked at him, as if he was looking at a pig that was lucky enough to escape the slaughter.
"Thank goodness."
Dorothy got off the carriage and walked into Liang Hui's house. She was relieved when she saw Li Yan.
"I'm really afraid that you will play with me again before the show, or you will be late." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
