Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 47 Presidential Killer
"Tony, this is the famous actor Mr. Booth, John - Wilkes - Booth!" At Marshall's reception, Douglas introduced Downing.
When she heard the name "Booth", Tangning felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it. What made him even more unexpected was that Booth seemed to be familiar with him: "Oh , so you are Mr. Tangning!"
"Uh, Mr. Booth, do you know me?" Tangning asked in surprise.
I saw Booth nodded and replied, "Well, I often hear Hope mention Mr. Downing."
"Hope? Miss Hope Solo?" Tangning asked tentatively.
"That's right, it's Hope. We have worked together several times. She told me about the experience of getting to know Mr. Downing, which was very interesting!" Booth explained.
Through Hope, Tangning thought of Broadway. Combined with Booth's role as an actor, Tangning finally remembered why she thought the name Booth was familiar. Isn't this guy the killer who assassinated Lincoln!
It is said that during the Civil War, Booth and a few friends planned to kidnap Lincoln and exchange for southern prisoners of war, but the action was stranded before the action began. In the end, he did not expect Lincoln to go to the theater where he performed every day to watch the play, and then Let him take the opportunity to shoot Lincoln out of nowhere.
Thinking of this, Tangning immediately became enthusiastic. After all, he was also a historical celebrity, and his thoughts were a little dirty. If he could kill Lincoln now, maybe the war would not come, at least it could be delayed a little.
So Tangning smiled bitterly in cooperation, "But I believe that the beginning of Miss Solo's story will definitely not have anything good to say about me!"
Hearing Tangning's words, Booth was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly, "Mr. Tangning, you are right, but understanding between people always requires a process, and I really feel that you are looking for Mr. Tangning. The Hope show is a fantastic idea!"
"Thank you for your understanding. By the way, how has Miss Solo been recently?" Tangning asked casually.
"Very good, she should be participating in the rehearsal of A Midsummer Night's Dream now." Booth replied. (Shakespeare's well-known light comedy)
After chatting for a while, Tangning cut to the chase and asked, "Mr. Booth, do you know Mr. Lincoln?"
Booth glanced at Douglas, who was chatting with Congressman Marshall in the distance, and replied with a smile: "Of course I know, Steven's opponent when he ran for Congress. Steven almost lost at that time."
"Then have you ever thought about what will happen if he is elected as the next president..."
Before Tangning could finish speaking, Booth interrupted, "Lincoln was elected president? How is that possible? Mr. Tangning, you are really joking! Don't talk about president, I guess he can't even think of being a Republican candidate!"
Tangning didn't rush to refute, but asked, "The chance of Lincoln being elected president is not high, but what if? What if he is really elected as the next president?"
Booth thought for a moment, then frowned and said slowly: "If he really was elected president, it would be troublesome. With his consistent remarks, he is really likely to be like Steven. When running for Congress, not only are slaves not allowed to continue, but these black slaves will have the same rights and status as us, my God! This is terrifying!"
Although Tangning knew for a long time that Mr. Booth was a fanatical hard worker, this meant that he didn't catch up with the KKK, otherwise he would have to be the backbone of the KKK. Thinking of the KKK, Tangning suddenly had a whim. In fact, this is also a way. When the war really starts, stir up the anger in the hearts of the guys who hate black people in their bones, and let them make trouble for the Northern Army in the rear. Although it may not affect the war situation, it can certainly be play a part.
At this time, Booth asked Tangning, "Mr. Tangning, why are you asking this? Did you hear any news?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Well, as far as I know, the Republican presidential candidate this time is Abraham Lincoln, because many states have already expressed their full support for him, especially Ohio!" I say this because in his memory, it was the Ohio State representative who finally voted for Lincoln, which gave him the victory over William Seward!
"If that's the case, it's terrible! No, I can't just sit back and watch this happen!" Booth muttered to himself.
Although Tangning was curious about what Booth would do to prevent this from happening, his reason told him that it was best not to ask, let alone get involved, it was enough to arouse the desire in his heart.
So Tangning put down the first American presidential killer who was frowning and thinking hard about the future~www.mtlnovel.com~ picked up a glass of wine and complimented the courtesan Olivia-Julie who was passing by, "Miss Julie, You are so beautiful today!"
"Thank you! By the way, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" Julie asked Tangning as she picked up the necklace around her neck.
Tangning was very surprised by Julie's question, because he didn't know why Julie asked her like that. Although he had heard of Julie's name, it was the first time he had seen it today, so why would he ask himself this? kind of problem?
Possibly seeing Tangning's doubts, Julie suggested, "Mr. Tangning, doesn't this necklace look familiar to you?"
Tangning looked at it carefully, and then replied, "I seem to have seen it before, but Miss Julie, you know that we men don't pay much attention to these jewelry!"
Julie chuckled and said, "Well, it's not difficult for you, in fact, this necklace belongs to Danina!"
"You know Danina?" Tangning asked in surprise.
Julie nodded and replied, "Yes, and we are still good friends!"
Tangning thought to herself that of course you two must be good friends, otherwise how could Danina lend you her necklace.
At this time, Julie said again: "Actually, the reason why I borrowed this necklace from Daniela is because the necklace of this style and style is not yet available in New Orleans. It was brought by Daniela from London."
Then he approached Tangning and said in a low voice, "Second and most importantly, I really like the story about necklaces that you told Danina, Mr. Tangning!"
PS: Thank you book friend "Yichuan Bo" for your support! In addition, I recommend Wei Zheng's new work "Breakthrough Elite", the director of "Love Apartment". Although the framework is a bit imitating the Japanese drama "General Affairs Second Division", it is still quite fun in general!
