As soon as the group of peasants that Zhang Heng rescued from the church walked to the center of the town, they were met by another group of people.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and as soon as they met, both sides raised their weapons in their hands and pointed at each other.

The sturdy black man at the head said angrily, "Davidson, you bastards, actually colluded with the Cook gang to kill all of us by the hands of those gangsters!" ”

On the other side, Davidson, who was also supposed to be the leader of the townspeople, opened his mouth to argue, "Listen to me, Nichol, we just wanted to teach you a lesson, we didn't expect things to come to this point, we did make a mistake, we shouldn't trust the Cook Gang." ”

"Tell the dead people about this nonsense." Nikkor said coldly, "Now that those bastards have been killed by a good man named Zhang Heng, what are you trying to do when you stop in front of us, do you want to finish what they didn't do and kill us all?" ”

"Of course not, we just want to talk to you, we just discussed, considering your loss this time, we can scrape together $5,000 to give you, of course, we know that this money is far from soothing the pain of your loss of relatives and friends...... But at least it will make the rest of your life a little easier. ”

"With you here, our lives will never be easy." Nichol said angrily, "Also, you don't just want to compensate us for being so kind, if you have any, just say it together." ”

Davidson nodded, "What happened to Sheriff Harper was a tragedy, but given the circumstances, we had no other choice......"

Davidson's words were only halfway through when he saw Nichol spit on the ground, and then Nichol's gaze swept over the people in front of him, no one dared to make eye contact with him, and they all lowered their heads, "You bastards, shot him, a total of thirty-two shots, everyone has a share, they shot the sheriff of their own town, and they didn't kill him immediately, they deliberately avoided the point, leaving him alone on the ground to die, I have to admit that you white gentlemen are really fucking fun, let me open my eyes as a nigger." ”

"What can we do?" The owner of the grocery store couldn't help but interject at this time, "The Cook gang is standing next to us with guns and watching us, and if we don't do what they say, they will kill us together." ”

"Nichol," Davidson continued, "everyone here is constantly feeling guilty for what happened that day, our consciences are tormented, and we have been punished, but at this point, we have no other way but to look forward, as long as we can agree that Sheriff Harper died at the hands of the Cooks, like everyone else, we will let you go." ”

"Why, are you worried that the good deeds you have done will be known to others, and your conscience will be tormented? What kind of punishment is this, do you know what punishment is, when you are all hung on the gallows because of this incident, this is the punishment of TM. ”

"Is it necessary to do this, Nikk, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have a good relationship with Sheriff Harper, and don't forget that he hates black people too, and your people are no less in jail than him."

"Yes, Harper is a nasty and uncultured old bastard, and I've wondered countless times about shooting that bare head, but when the Cook Gang wants to kill us, this old bastard is the only one who stands up except for Mr. Matthew...... He was the only one in the town, and you have to admit that the old bastard was quite kind, and then you killed the only one in the town. ”

"We didn't have a choice of ......," muttered the grocery store owner.

"You always have a choice, you have guns in your hands, there are no fewer than them, and you don't even dare to resist," Nikkor sneered, "You are a bunch of cowards of TM, now, either get out of front of us or go to war, where did so much nonsense come from." ”

"Nikkle, it's not that simple." Davidson patiently explained, "You don't know the situation we are facing now, that guy named Zhang Heng killed the people left behind by the Cook Gang in the town, but the Cook Gang still has more than 30 people, they are all outlaws with blood on their hands, not farmers and miners like you and me, when those people come back, we will have to face their wrath, so now we must unite and face the coming catastrophe, only in this way can we save the town." ”

"Are your heads broken, Davidson? After this kind of thing happens, we might as well shoot ourselves directly in the head, who knows if the situation is not good, you will immediately turn the muzzle, you can do anything to survive. ”

…………

Just when the two gangs were still confronting each other, Zhang Heng had quietly detoured back to the outside of the hotel.

Wendy scrambled to remove the table against the door.

"Did anyone come here when I wasn't there?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes, the owner of the grocery store, he came running not long after you left, but he didn't knock on the door and went to find someone else, what happened outside, I saw a lot of people." Wendy wondered.

"The people living in the town of Bliss are mainly a group of miners and their families, because mining has caused the contamination of nearby water sources, the mass death of crops, and the rest of the population is also sluggish, which has provoked the anger of local farmers, and the relationship between the two sides has started to become more and more strained, and from time to time there will be some uh...... rubbing until six months ago,

"A boy from a miner's family went out with a farmer's girl, only the boy came back, but the girl was gone, and the girl's father thought that the boy had murdered the girl, so he asked a few friends to rush to the boy's house, killed the boy, and his brother, who was ready to resist, but the girl returned home safely two days later, only to find out that she was arguing with the boy, and in a fit of anger, she walked around alone and lost her way.

So this time it was the turn of the miners to ask for an explanation...... With guns in hand, the peasants got the news in advance and organized their manpower, and clashes broke out between the two sides, injuring three or four people each, and these peasants would go to the mine from time to time to make trouble, and the contradictions became deeper and deeper.

"About a month and a half ago, an old man with a hunchback appeared in the town, and while drinking in a bar, he listened to the miners complain about it, so he told the miners that he could help the miners solve their problems, and that if the miners were willing to pay six thousand yuan, he said that he could find someone to teach the peasants a lesson, so that they would not dare to make trouble again.

The miners discussed it and thought it was feasible, so they scraped together the money, and then the hunchbacked old man came here with the Cook Gang, and they took the peasants, intending to kill them all and their families, and at the same time, in order not to make the miners in the town repent, they forced them to kill their own sheriff, the process ...... It's cruel, I won't go into details, but I don't think their real purpose is really just to make those six thousand dollars, but your father. ”

"Does my father have anything to do with this?" Wendy was surprised.

"Your father is not related to this matter, but to Cook, the head of the Cook Gang, so that everything makes sense, remember the one-armed man of the Cook Gang who was hanged before, he appeared in Lincoln County for a reason, I guess it is very likely that it is to find your father, and the guy who pretended to be the sheriff does not know what the relationship between Cook and your father is, but there is no doubt that the two know each other, oh, maybe add Sheriff Dolan of Glen Town, the three of them are old acquaintances, Cook threatens your father with the lives of these peasants to help him do something. ”
