"Twelve...... Twelve good men who are very different from you have judged you, saying that you are guilty, and look at the good deeds you have committed, you ......" said the drunken sheriff on the wooden platform, pointing to a fellow with his hands and feet tied and a rope around his neck.

"You fought with a man for a horse, stabbed the owner of the horse with a knife, made a mother lose her son, a wife lost her husband, an innocent child lost his father, what else do you have to say?"

"That's right, I didn't control my temper at the time, and I accidentally killed him to get to this point, but it's too late to say anything now." The dwarf apparently knew that his death was imminent, and took a breath, "I just want to apologize to the family of the man I killed, although I know they won't necessarily forgive me, so be it." ”

With that, he nodded at the sheriff and closed his mouth.

The next moment, a black hood was placed over his head.

At this time, the drunkard sheriff walked in front of the other person, the guy was a man who looked quite strong, and a look of undisguised disgust flashed in the eyes of the other drunkard sheriff.

"You insulted your sister-in-law while your brother was out selling cattle, and killed your brother after the matter was revealed, such evil deeds, happening in this land, are a blatant provocation to the judicial system and human morality, I should have killed you when you escaped, I shouldn't have let you live for so many days, and waste food, okay, say your last words."

"No, you caught the wrong person, you shouldn't believe that [beep] son's words, I didn't kill my brother! The adulterer was someone else, and the two of them came together to frame me, so that as soon as my brother and I died, the ranch would fall into the hands of her and her lover. ”

Compared with the previous short man, the second person was obviously very excited, he kept yelling, he was still struggling desperately, his face was full of despair, and the person in charge of the execution on the side had to give him a little back to make him a little quieter.

The drunkard sergeant snorted coldly when he heard this, "Your trial is over, the jury has made their choice, and if you have any objections to this part, you can tell him directly when you see God, oh...... Sorry I almost forgot, it's impossible for a scoundrel like you to see God, go to hell, bastard, next. ”

After saying that, he took out the bottle again, took a sip of whiskey, and then walked to the last one-armed man, "You ......" The drunkard sheriff only said one word and got stuck, pointing at the one-armed man and the latter's big eyes for a long time before squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth, "What did you do?" ”

The man named Jameson under the wooden stage covered his forehead, as if he couldn't bear to see this scene, and the crowd became agitated.

"Quiet and quiet." The drunkard sheriff roared twice, reached out and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and looked at the words on it, "Oh, damn it, you're from the Cook Gang, you've robbed trains many times, and you've ransacked two towns, slaughtering armed civilians, and you can't write a single piece of paper about the laws you violated, to be honest, it's cheap for you to die only once for such a crime, you should be glad you're not in the Middle Ages, otherwise I'll nail that you sheep cub to the wall and let you die slowly, So that I can hear your wail every day as I pass below. ”

The one-armed man was the calmest of the three, and shook his head when he heard this, "You're wrong, I robbed trains and caravans a few times, but that was before I lost my arm, and then I left the Cook Gang and settled here, and the ransacking of the town has nothing to do with me. ”

"It doesn't matter, the things you did before are enough for you to die anyway." The drunkard sheriff said impatiently, "If you want to repent, hurry up, I'm already out of wine." ”

"I will not repent, it is you who should repent." The one-armed man said lightly, his gaze swept over the people under the wooden platform, and for some reason, the people he saw didn't dare to look at him, and silently looked away.

This scene looks a little ridiculous, it is obvious that the crime is a one-armed person, but just looking at each other's demeanor, the person who is judged is the resident of the county below.

"Now that you know who I really am, you should know the attitude of the Cook Gang towards the enemy," the one-armed man smiled, "you hang me today, and tomorrow the news will get out, and soon it will reach Cook's ears, or it won't be long before my brothers will come to avenge me, and what happened in those two towns will be repeated here, and they will scorch every inch of this place, and those you know and care about will die in front of you, and you can hear their screams and wails, And then it's your turn...... My judgment is over, but your judgment has just begun. With that last word, he nodded to the sheriff.

The words of the one-armed man made the people in the square fall into silence, and the atmosphere of unease and worry continued to spread among the crowd, the Cook gang was the largest gang in New Mexico, there were more than fifty people, many people were powerful and ruthless, their hands were stained with blood, not only slaughtered civilians, but also dared to fight head-on with the brigade of the sheriffs, their notoriety was known to everyone, and when they heard that they might provoke this gang of evil stars, many people's hearts began to rise.

Some people even began to hope that the drunkard sheriff would let the people go and everyone would end up peacefully.

However, the latter only smiled contemptuously, "Put away your nonsense, the people of this land will not be intimidated by you, and as long as I am here, Jeremy Cook and his minions dare to set foot in the town, they will not think of leaving." ”

"Then we'll see." The one-armed man was also covered with a black hood.

As the executioner pulled the lever, the plank under the feet of the three men opened, and they fell rapidly, and it didn't take long for them to die.

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and a woman covered her mouth.

Zhang Heng also watched the execution outside the police station, but he didn't react, after all, there is probably no one in the world who is more familiar with the gallows than pirates, Zhang Heng even led people to rob the pirates who were about to be executed, and he didn't take the words of the one-armed man too seriously.

Unlike those small towns, Lincoln County, although far from Santa Fe, the political center of New Mexico, has many residents, and although it also faces the same dilemma as other towns, there are many ranches in the county, and the corresponding number of cowboys is also quite large, and it is not so easy for Cook and his fifty-odd men to raze this place to the ground.

But I don't know if it's Zhang Heng's own delusion, he has always felt that someone is staring at him from behind after the conflict with the two cowboys before, and that gaze is still there after coming out of the bar, and even when everyone gathered around the square to watch the execution, it didn't disappear.

Could it be the accomplices of those two cowboys? Zhang Heng thought to himself, although he had just been warned by the drunkard sheriff, if the other party really kept chasing him like this, then he could only teach them another lesson.
