"The boss is dead!"

"Withdraw, withdraw!!"

With Hanon's death, the morale of the army was inevitably shaken.

Just like the ancestral dragon died and the heaven and the earth were divided, Hanon was the reassurance of this group, with Hanun, they were the most ferocious bandits in the western region, and if Hanon was lost, they were wild dogs whose backbones were broken, no different from ordinary criminal gangs.

"Hanon is dead, the sheriff has killed Hanon!"

"Quick, shoot back, don't let them take things away!"

The same change can be seen among the townspeople, who dare not rebel against Hanon because this guy is cruel and unkind, and anyone who opposes him will not end well.

After Hanon's death, they were not afraid of ordinary bandits.

Just like the heroes of the world who rose up after the death of the ancestral dragon, Daqin is still the same Daqin, and it has not changed, it has become just the hearts of the people.

Cracking sound!!

Gunshots rang out throughout the town, and anyone could beat the water dogs, and now was the time to take his life while he was sick.

The guards were the first to shoot, and the gunfire was quickly echoed by the shopkeepers who had been robbed.

These wealthy landlords who run shops belong to the wealthy class of the town, and they have a lot of surplus food, not to mention their wealth.

The retreating bandits took away their property that they had worked hard for years, or even decades, and they didn't dare to resist when Hanon was alive, and Hanon didn't have that kind of concern when he died.

Then, the gunfire extended outward again, and the townspeople spontaneously fired at the bandits.

For a while, the bandits only felt that they had fallen into the enemy's ambush circle, just like the devils who were blinded by the tunnel war, they didn't know where the enemy was, how many people there were, and they only knew that there were gunshots in all directions.

The bandits soon panicked, lost their money, and rode only to escape from the town.

As soon as he fled to the gate of the town, he met the farmers who had rushed to help.

These farmers, every family has a gun, and many of them also employ cowboys who graze, and there are many of them.

Under the leadership of Lin Zhizhou, they met the bandits on a narrow road, and a gunfight broke out invariably.

As soon as the war began, these people found that the bandits were not as terrifying as the legend said.

They were more like frightened birds, dropping a few corpses and starting to flee.

"Seven or eight ran, and the rest were all killed or arrested, and more than a dozen of our people died, and more than fifty townspeople were killed in the battle!"

After the war, the victory was a disastrous victory, and if the residents of the town were also counted, the losses of Lin Yao's side would even exceed those of Hanon and his group.

There is no way around it, not every resident is a fighter, and not everyone is resisting.

Many people were killed like chickens, such as the few coolies who were killed in the streets, they died very worthless, and the bandits only wanted to use them to make a decision.

"Send a telegram to the state legislature, saying that Hanon was killed by us, and then ask if the $100,000 reward for Hanon should be allocated to our town."

Lin Yao held a rifle and looked at the corpses of the bandits that were placed on both sides of the road, accompanied by the surviving guards.

These corpses are worth a fortune, except for Hanon, who was offered a reward of 100,000 US dollars for the arms robbery, and others also have more or less bounties.

They also made a fortune.

"Hanon was killed by us, and the state legislature should not shirk it in terms of bounty, but so many people died in the town, and many people helped us fight Hanon, I'm afraid many people will have opinions on how to distribute this bounty."

Lin Yao paused slightly, and replied: "I will arrange it, and when the money comes down, I will divide the money into four parts, one for the family of the deceased, one for the town guard, one for the town residents who shot the shot, and the other for me." ”

As the sheriff of the small town and the person who killed Hanon, Lin Yao must take the lion's share.

100,000 dollars, that's not a small amount of money.

No matter how much he divides, he can earn tens of thousands, which is the fundamental reason why bounty hunters like to chase wanted criminals.

Grab a priceless wanted criminal, and thousands of dollars will come.

As a result, many people became rich overnight, bought farms, bought mines, and lived a prosperous life ever since.

"Sheriff, the matter of Seravia..."

"I feel guilty about him by informing Seravi's family first, but I have to do it because I have the whole Stone Town behind me, and his sacrifice has created favorable conditions for our victory."

Lin Yao glanced at his pocket watch and whispered, "It's not too early, I'm going to visit the families of those deceased, and someone will call me if there's something." ”

After a big war, some people are happy and some are sad.

The town guards, including civilians, had a total of seventy-three people killed in battle, which was the tragedy of seventy-three families.

In particular, the coolies who were shot and killed had very poor family conditions, otherwise they would not have been used as coolies.

I don't know when the bounty will be implemented, it may be three or five days, it may be ten days and half a month, or it may drag on for three or five months.

As the sheriff of the town, he had to bring greetings to the families of the deceased, and then see if there were any families in need of relief after the loss of these pillars, so that the families of these people would starve to death before the compensation money came.

The sky was still drizzling.

After a busy day, Lin Yao visited most of the families of the deceased and sent cordial greetings.

In the end, there was only one family left that he did not visit.

That's the Seravi family, and he put the Seravi family at the end, so that he has enough room to think, so that he has time to think about how he will face it if the Seravi family is tough.

"Mrs. Seravi, are you at home?"

When Lin Yao arrived here, it was already evening, because it was rainy and dark, and smoke had already risen in the kitchen.

"Come in!"

Lin Yao pushed the door and went in and found a kerosene lamp lit in the house.

Although the price of kerosene is not high, it is not used by ordinary families, and most small towns do not light up at night unless necessary, in order to save some kerosene money.

The Seravi family is clearly different.

As a tax collector in a small town, his income is good for a middle-class family, and he can light things like kerosene lamps for as long as he wants, and there will be no financial pressure.

A kerosene lamp hangs in mid-air, bringing light to the room.

A middle-aged woman is cooking soup, while four little ones sit at a table and wait for dinner to begin.

"You must have heard about Mr. Seravi, ma'am?"

Lin Yao sat on the sofa and asked under the gaze of a group of little guys.

Mrs. Seravi nodded, she was not as sad as Lin Yao imagined, but said very calmly: "I already understand what happened, you used my husband as a target and killed Hanon, the leader of the bandits. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Seravi paused, and then said: "I don't think this is in accordance with the rules, there is no law in Texas that allows you to sacrifice hostages in order to deal with bandits, but instead requires you to protect the safety of hostages, and to focus on hostages, but you sacrificed my poor husband without hesitation, I really don't know how you have the face to come to see me." ”

Lin Yao was silent for a while, and said: "It's not in accordance with the rules, but the tragedy has happened, and we have to learn to face it." ”

"My husband is the breadwinner of the family, as you can see, we have four children to raise, and although he likes to drink heavily and sometimes beat and scold me, he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father and has been able to bring income to the family. He is no longer here, and I can't imagine what I'm going to do in the future, let alone raise four children. ”

Lin Yao listened carefully, and after a while, he said, "So what? ”

"I need money, a lot of money, and I have to raise four children."

People cannot be resurrected after death, but money can soothe some pain.

Mrs. Seravi's meaning is simple, I can not ask for trouble, but you have to give me a large sum of money.

"Yes!"

Lin Yao nodded in agreement, and said bluntly: "Hanon's bounty is 100,000 US dollars, and it will be divided into several parts and distributed to several people, including mine." ”

"If you agree to forget about it and not trouble me, I can guarantee that I will give you half of my share, which is about 20,000 dollars, enough for you to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life."

"I need to think about it..."

"Yes, I've been in the police station for the past few days, you can come to me if you have an idea."
