Chapter 36: The City of Restlessness
Brannan is losing his mind. Google search reading
Although there have been direct conflicts between the two sides before, the scale of the conflicts was relatively small, and the targets were all adult males with guns.
Now Brannan's revenge targets are women and children, especially those with yellow skin.
The number of vicious cases of revenge against Chinese women and children is increasing. For safety reasons, Liang Yao had to move these women and children to Sacramento first.
At the same time, Liang Yao also had a premonition that a direct confrontation was inevitable and the storm was coming.
These deliberate revenges against Chinese women and children were just the prelude to the storm.
The scam of Brannan's casino was exposed, and the casino, a money-printing machine that made a lot of money every day, had less and less income.
Brannan's capital chain has been broken. In order to maintain this endless price game, Brannan was like crazy, selling assets and continuing to compete with Liang Yao.
"I heard that Chinese people value sons over daughters and attach great importance to passing on the family line."
"Cai Mingsheng had a son in his old age. Do you think Cai Mingsheng would be very painful if his son was killed?"
"According to the Chinese, this is called having no descendants. Since he works for Liang Yao, I will make him have no descendants."
Brannan muttered like a mental patient, and he laughed crazily with a distorted face.
"He will definitely be very painful. This is the price he should pay for working for Liang Yao."
"As long as Liang Yao's left and right arms are cut off, victory will eventually belong to me, to us. San Francisco, Sacramento, California, will eventually be our world, right?"
Brannan no longer has the spirit of the past. His hair is messy, his beard has not been trimmed for a long time, and his eyes have become red and swollen due to insomnia.
"Who of you will do this? After the matter is done, I will reward you heavily! I have gold! I have a lot of gold!"
Brannan roared at his men like a beast who has lost his mind.
These guys, who only care about their children, were like flies around him every day when he was rich. After he got into trouble, there were fewer and fewer hired gunmen around him.
"Mr. Brannan, you are crazy."
A hired gunman was ashamed of Brannan's shameless behavior and turned his back to leave.
Although he was a hired gunman, a hired gunman with conscience also had principles. He would not lay hands on children.
Before he took a few steps, a gunshot like thunder came from behind the hired gunman.
Brannan pulled the trigger at the hired gunman who still had a conscience without hesitation. The hired gunman who was shot fell in a pool of blood and looked at Brannan in disbelief.
Brannan had no mercy. He used his thumb to pull the hammer of the single-action revolver again, finished loading the bullet, and fired another shot at the poor gunman without blinking, watching him die.
The hired gunmen in the house trembled. No one dared to leave Brannan's manor without his permission, for fear of being shot in the back like the gunman on the ground.
"Gentlemen, who is willing to do this for me? After the task is completed, there will be a reward of 100 ounces of gold and my gratitude."
Brannan rested his hands on the table, and his sharp eyes swept over the hired gunmen.

"They raped and killed four women who had no ability to resist, six innocent and pitiful children. San Francisco is losing control. I need your help, Colonel Griffin."
In the military fortress, Flagg made a request to Griffin.
The current situation in San Francisco is no longer controlled by dozens of mounted police.
In addition to more than 60 hired gunmen, gang members must also obey Brannan directly. Brannan directly controls nearly 200 armed forces.
In addition to Brannan, Flagg is also worried that Liang Yao will not be able to control his anger.
Liang Yao is in San Francisco now, and he just went to his home to meet him yesterday.
Liang Yao affirmed everything he did in San Francisco, and also expressed his attitude. If Brannan makes any radical moves again, he will no longer restrain himself and take all possible means to fight back against Brannan.
Flagg also admitted that Liang Yao has always been very restrained. He and his men never provoke trouble. Almost all conflicts are provoked by Brannan.
People who can maintain restraint will not get angry, but once they get angry, the consequences will be more terrible than those who are not restrained like Brannan.
"Liang Yao is in San Francisco now. No one can guarantee what will happen next. Liang Yao has more than 70 professional armed guards in San Francisco, and there are more than 200 armed young and middle-aged Chinese clansmen.
Once a conflict breaks out, San Francisco will be no less than a medium-sized battle. This will be a huge disaster and tragedy for San Francisco.
The only person who can prevent this disaster and tragedy is you, Colonel. I implore you to send troops to San Francisco to help me maintain order in San Francisco!"
Griffin looked at the sea and sky outside the window. He knew that Flagg was not exaggerating.
He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Liang Yao and Brannan, so as not to cause himself unnecessary trouble, but he couldn't ignore the atrocities in San Francisco and watch the situation get out of control.
"Chief Flagg, you are right, Brannan did cross the line." Griffin turned around.
"But many of my men are also fascinated by gold. Although I am the commander of the infantry regiment, I now only have four infantry companies. I have to use these four infantry companies to eliminate unfriendly Indians. , and I have to station a fort to guard against Mexican sneak attacks, so I really can’t spare any extra troops.”
Griffin also has Griffin's unspeakable secrets. Since the beginning of the gold rush, his soldiers have been fleeing continuously, and now more than half of them have fled, and the soldiers who remain in the team are also feeling uneasy.
He only relied on his personal prestige to barely maintain the existence of this infantry regiment.
Of course, the most critical point is that deploying troops in peacetime is a very troublesome matter, and there is no direct communication with the Ministry of War here.
Afterwards, he needs to give a reasonable explanation to the gentlemen of the Ministry of War. Once the Ministry of War does not recognize his explanation, a military court will be waiting for him.
"Are you just going to sit back and watch, Colonel?" Flagg was very disappointed. He stood up and prepared to leave. "If a conflict does break out, I will fulfill the duties of a police sergeant, Griffin." Colonel, if something happens to me unfortunately, please collect my body and inform my family.”
"Chief Flagg." Griffin stopped Flagg who was about to leave. "Although I can't mobilize troops to assist, I can mediate the matter in my own name. The conflict in San Francisco is unavoidable. But we can find ways to delay his outbreak."
"Colonel Griffin, please."
Flagg took off his hat and bowed to Griffin.
