MTL - Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner-Chapter 30 Jonathan's Manor

"Tony, actually I have one more thing here today, that is, I have a friend who wants to ask you a favor." Morgan said sternly.

Tangning answered without hesitation, "No problem, your friend is my friend, but can I ask what's the matter?"

I saw Morgan's expression a little unnatural and replied: "I'll wait for him to tell you this tomorrow. But don't worry, as long as you help him, he will definitely give you a very generous reward."

The more Morgan didn't say it, the more curious Tangning became, because he felt that Morgan definitely knew about it, but why didn't he tell himself? And he also deliberately declared that he would be rewarded generously. It seems that this is not a small matter!

On the second day, Morgan brought a thin guy who looked like he was drinking too much to introduce to Downing, "Tony, this is my friend Jonathan, Jonathan-Munk, who I told you yesterday, all right, let's talk. , I have something to do first!" After speaking, Morgan hurriedly left.

"Mr. Munch, how can I help you?" Tangning asked straight to the point.

And Jonathan was obviously not in a hurry, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone is a friend, Tony, just call me Jonathan!"

"Okay, Jonathan!" Tangning replied casually.

"Tony, I heard from John that you have not only black female slaves, but also Japanese female slaves in your family?" Jonathan asked.

Although she didn't know why Jonathan asked this, Tangning nodded and replied, "That's right!"

"In addition, I heard that you also ordered Brazilian female slaves from the slave trader?" Jonathan asked again.

Hearing that Jonathan kept asking the slave girl questions, Tangning had a hunch in her heart, so she continued to nod her head, "That's right, but it hasn't been sent to me yet!"

"Can those slave traders get Russian female slaves?" Jonathan asked again.

Tangning shook her head and replied, "I don't know about this, I have to go back and ask him!"

At this time, Jonathan let out a long sigh: "Tony, to be honest, I really envy you, you can raise slave girls freely in the South, unlike in New York, where you have to be sneaky even to find a lover!"

Then he finally got to the point: "Tony, let me tell you the truth, I actually wanted to build a manor in New Orleans, buy slaves from various countries like you, and enjoy!

But I am a northerner after all. There will definitely be a lot of inconveniences in the south, and it is impossible for me to stay in the south for a long time. I can only go there when I am on vacation, and I don't know those slave traders. So I hope Tony you can help me buy a manor in New Orleans and introduce those slave traders, can you? "

Jonathan's explanation confirmed Tangning's suspicions. No wonder he kept asking female slaves. He must have had this idea, but it was normal. Don't look at those northern capitalists who were against slavery, it was from the perspective of making money. From the point of view of enjoyment, they must also support slavery, especially female slaves. After all, everyone is a man, and who has no dark thoughts in this regard, especially when they have money, this kind of thinking will be magnified.

But Tangning asked cautiously, "Just to help you find a ready-made manor and introduce slave traders?"

Jonathan thought for a moment, and then replied: "That's roughly it, but most southerners should not welcome northerners like me, so there may be some small troubles in the manor occasionally. I hope you can help Tony, but definitely I won't bother you often, because I will send my people to station there specially."

Tangning understood Jonathan's concerns very well, because the conflict between the North and the South was indeed very serious, and he could only tell from the nickname "Yang Kee", so he nodded and agreed, but at this time he didn't You know, Jonathan's Manor is going to be so kinky...

Seeing Tangning nodding, Jonathan was very excited, "Tony, thank you so much, don't worry, your electric light business is covered by me, I will bring you at least twenty clients, by the way, when are you going back to New Orleans? I will go with you!"

Tangning thought for a moment, then replied, "Uh, I have to go to Atlanta and Richmond before I can go back to New Orleans, but I will be back in a month at the latest, and I will call the housekeeper right now. Find a suitable manor for you, and let you know when I get to New Orleans!"

Downing admitted that she went to Richmond to see if this Miss Catherine looked exactly like Nicole Kidman, or if it was really Nicole Kidman who came across.

Although Tangning knew Catherine's name, she couldn't rashly visit someone. Fortunately, he was well prepared. First, he used Carter's handwritten letter to find an old friend of his in Richmond.

Because when Downing was in New York before, under Carter's authorization, he sent a telegram to an old friend named Claude Wahlberg in his name~www.novelbuddy.com~, so when Downing took Carter When the handwritten letter came to the door, he was warmly received.

"This guy Carter, I told him a long time ago, don't be so cruel to black slaves, even the cattle and horses you raise can't be so orderly, otherwise, how could you get this knife!" Wahlberg sighed with emotion.

After echoing a few words, Tangning cut to the chase, took out the portrait of Nicole Kidman and asked Wahlberg, "Uncle Claude, do you know this girl?"

Wahlberg just glanced at it and couldn't help exclaiming: "Isn't this Catherine, which artist painted this painting, it really looks like it!"

Tangning thought that this was what I drew, but she couldn't admit it on the surface, so she answered vaguely, "I got it from a friend. I heard that this Miss Catherine is in Richmond?"

Wahlberg first nodded: "Yes, she is Jeff -- Heard's youngest daughter Catherine -- Heard!" But then the conversation changed and said: "But you won't be able to see her for the time being. !"

Hearing Wahlberg say this, Tangning's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because it is said that she went to London and won't be back until half a year later!" Wahlberg explained.

Knowing the answer, Tangning secretly thought to herself, it seems that she has nothing to do with "Nicole Kidman" in 1858...

So I left Richmond the next day and rushed to Atlanta. Coincidentally, as soon as I left the port, I met Scarlett, but the strange thing was that Scarlett seemed to not know herself, while she was with her female companion. While joking, he walked past him very naturally...
