Chapter 364: Lucky Horseshoe
"What do they want my father to do." Wendy asked impatiently.
"Help them find a group of people." When he said this, Zhang Heng's face also became a little strange.
"Who?"
"A little over a month ago, there was a robbery in Bright Silver Town, where a group of masked men ransacked the town's bank and robbed 40 kilograms of gold, however few people know that in addition to the gold they also robbed another thing that did not belong to them, something that belonged to Cook.
"Cook wants your father to help him retrieve it, but he seems to have other plans in mind than that." Zhang Hengdao.
"But...... The timing is not right, as far as I know, the one-armed man came to Lincoln County very early and lives next door to our house......" Wendy frowned, "Wait, do you mean that Cook has been spying on my father all these years?" ”
"I'm afraid so."
"Until Cook's thing was lost, they contacted my father and asked him to come to Bliss, my father was half Indian, and he was indeed a good master of tracking, and then they threatened my father with the life of a farmer in the town to force him to help find someone." Wendy finally figured out what was going on.
"Twelve days ago Cook left ten men to guard the peasants, and he left with the remaining thirty-odd men and your father."
"So all my father has to do is help them find the person they're looking for, and the Cook guys will put him back?" Wendy asked.
"It's not that simple." Zhang Heng shook his head, "Cook's order to the people left behind is to kill everyone in half a month, leave Bliss, and meet in Lincoln County. ”
"Huh?" Wendy's eyes widened, "What are they going to Lincoln County for?" ”
"Don't you see it yet, Cook doesn't actually care about the thing he lost," Zhang Heng said, "His goal has always been only your father, and they plan to go to Lincoln County to avenge the hanged one-armed man, so that your father who accompanied him will be completely pulled into the water, and there is no way out but to continue to stay in the Cook Gang." ”
"So what are we going to do?" Wendy's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Heng imagined, although she was also worried, but she did not become flustered because of worry, but said, "If you can solve this matter with me, I can call the shots and give you half of the pasture land and the cattle on the land." ”
"At this point, there is only one way, we need to stop them before they reach Lincoln County, but there are more than thirty people, even if I can't handle it, we have to find some help."
…………
Two days later, Zhang Heng and Wendy rushed back to Glen Town.
"Hahaha, let's see who's coming." The old cowboy stood outside the police station and sneered, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, well, it's not been long since we last met, I didn't expect to be able to avenge my horse so soon." ”
"You know Cook, the leader of the Cook Gang, don't you?" Zhang Heng Lema was straightforward.
"Well, how do you know?" The old cowboy's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he quickly looked around, and saw that no one noticed this way, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your secret really surprised me." Zhang Heng said, "The sheriff of Glen Town is actually connected to the notorious Cook Gang. ”
"You don't know anything, boy, don't comment on other people's past, you weren't there at the time." The old cowboy snorted and said coldly.
"Then tell me, tell me all about the year, so we can get Matthew back." Zhang Hengdao.
"I think I made it clear last time, I'll take the past with me to my grave." The old cowboy shook his head.
"Are you so stubborn and unwilling to cooperate because you are sure that Cook will not kill Matthew, but there is something worse in this world than killing someone, that is, ruining his life, I don't know what the relationship between Cook and Matthew is, but I do know that Cook is messing up Matthew's life, just as we are talking now, Cook is taking his people and Matthew to Lincoln County together, ready to avenge a dead gang member, I don't need to say, you should also know what it means."
"What? Was Cook planning to attack Lincoln County? The county seat of Lincoln County wasn't a town like Glenn, and the Cook gang had enough to take it. ”
"They're not here to take it, as long as they loot it and then get away before the town's armed forces react, it's done, considering the tension between Matthew and the town, what do you think the townspeople will think when he shows up with the Cook Gang?"
The old cowboy fell silent.
After waiting for a while, just when Zhang Heng was about to give up, the old cowboy suddenly spoke again, "I know, Cook has always wanted Matthew to be his successor, and he also trained Matthew in this direction before. ”
"My father used to be a member of the Cook Gang?" Wendy was shocked.
"No, me, Matthew, Cook, the three of us were the original members of the Cook Gang, no, at that time we were not called the Cook Gang, but the Lucky Horseshoe, and we formed the Lucky Horseshoe not to burn and loot, but to take revenge."
"Revenge?"
The old cowboy looked at Wendy, "Your father rarely told you and your mother about the past, right, about his past, before he met your mother, he worked in Cook's ranch, and it was there that he met the love of his life - Mary, they got married, and soon Mary was pregnant with a child, Matthew was like the happiest person in the world at that time, and Matthew and I were good friends, and they were ready to let their first child recognize me as a godfather, but no one expected that misfortune would come so quickly." ”
"Once Cook and Matthew drove cattle to a town five hundred miles away to sell, and when they came home again, they found that the house had been ransacked, and Mary was gone, at first they thought it was a robber, but then it turned out that it was not so simple, and all signs pointed to the only son of a director of the Pacific Union Railroad at the time, Reuben, who was a playboy, nominally to supervise and inspect the railroad project, but in fact he was just a group of fox friends who poured out to hunt, and spent all day drinking, and they saw Mary in the town, Ruben couldn't take his eyes off it at once, and they teased Mary a few times, but were stopped by Matthew, who arrived.
"However, what Matthew and Cook didn't expect was that as soon as they left the town, Mary was kidnapped by Ruben and his people, and they later found Ruben and asked him to release Mary first, but Ruben flatly denied it, and the bastard was worried that the good deeds he had done would be discovered, so he killed Mary without doing anything, and it wasn't until a week later that we found Mary's body in the woods, but the body had been gnawed by wild dogs, and the child in her belly was only three months old and was not saved."
