Chapter XXXVII. Propaganda
"Hello Rose Creek residents, I'm Jacob Fry. Many people must have seen me at noon, but there were also many people who saw me for the first time......"
Jacob rode on his horse and looked condescendingly at the onlookers, hiding his face full of mockery and contempt, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, they are all poor people who are drunk and dreaming of death! There is no trace of the blood of a Westerner! But this is just right for my plan......
"Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Jacob Frye! I'm from the East, I'm a bounty hunter, and the owner of a security company......"
Jacob took off his cowboy hat and elegantly covered his chest, gently took off his hat, and then then stirred his lips and tongue to introduce it.
"As we all know, Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death, and his gang of murderous and vicious Wade Brotherhood gunmen, have always been haunting, burning and looting everywhere, deeply troubled by the well-mannered gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, and the lovely ladies...... The safety of everyone's lives and property has been greatly threatened......"
The onlookers looked at Jacob with complicated expressions and whispered in a low voice.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "You can be your bounty hunter, why do you want to come to Rose Creek? Why disturb our quiet life? Now our life is good...... We have to pay some monetary costs, but at least we are living in peace......"
"Very stable?"
Jacob asked aloud. He glared angrily at the bloody corpse on horseback, and then at Sophie on the side, his eyes widened, and he leaned down to look at the onlookers of Rose Creek, and roared loudly, "Are you doing very well?!No! You are just a herd of lambs herded by Anthony Wade, the hand of death! He can take your property, your life, and even the lives of all your relatives at any time if he wants, if he wants to! Just like Miss Green's family......"
It's a hypocritical town!
Peace and tranquility are just a cover-up, but in their bones they are a group of enslaved slaves, and they are slaves who deceive themselves.
If the Borgs used Hot Springs as a stronghold to secretly protect the peace of the town, and left dignity for Hot Springs Town, then Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death, and his Wade Brotherhood were the ones who took over Rose Creek and Shunchang rebelled and died.
"This ......"
Some people lowered their heads, their hearts were weak and their ears were red.
"It's just a deal! At least we're keeping most people safe!"
There is a middle-aged gentleman who is a little loud and eloquent, and he does not feel ashamed at all, but looks like a "hero"!
"What?!...... you guys"
Donald pulled out his revolver and hurried to the middle-aged gentleman, grabbed him by the collar, and poked the barrel directly into his head, anger and spittle, "My brothers and I risked our lives to fight with the hand of death for the safety of you, and you were seriously injured, but you ......"
Donald is not a bailiff at Rose Creek, but is affiliated with a California court. He doesn't stay in one place, but instead patrols the entire Sacramento, hunting down wanted criminals. This time, because of the pursuit of the Hand of Death, almost everyone of him and his men were injured, so they stayed in Rose Creek to recuperate. More importantly, they want to look for opportunities to wipe out the Wade Brotherhood.
It's just that Donald didn't expect him and his men to be so worthless.
Actually, Donald should have thought of it a long time ago. How could a town as easily accessible as Rose Creek, and a town rich in rose essential oil and perfumes, not be coveted by Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death, and be so peaceful and peaceful all the time?
Donald now knows the answer.
Although Donald eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and samples, and although he has some dirty and greedy thoughts in his heart, on the whole, he is still a righteous person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to become a law enforcement officer.
"Humph!"
The middle-aged gentleman coldly pushed Donald's hand away, ignoring the revolver on the door of his head, and looked at Donald with red eyes and a sneer, "You guys?! You people who take our taxpayers' money, but only drink and prostitute and gamble...... If it really depends on you, maybe our family will be ruined a long time ago!"
"You...... Hey......"
Donald was speechless.
This is the disadvantage of the vast and sparsely populated western region and the weak law enforcement force. A large number of small western towns simply do not have enough guards to protect themselves, and the western part is full of roving thugs, Mexican bandits who cross the border to rob, and Indians who like to cut their heads......
In this case, if you want to protect the safety of the town, you can either pick up a gun to protect yourself, or compromise with the gang, pay protection money, or even become a vassal of the gang in exchange for peace, or hire a person who can calm the scene as a sheriff and let the sheriff protect the town.
Rose Creek is the second case.
Hot spring towns are the third case.
And what Jacob has to do is the fourth scenario: a personal company contracting the security and defense of the town. In the future, even the defense of cities, states, and even entire countries will be contracted!
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think it's the fault of Officer Donald! It's just that the western part of the country is not fully developed, it is still in a state of wilderness, and the law enforcement force of the state government is still too weak to protect the safety of your lives and property......
Jacob's shouting as if to relieve Donald of the siege is actually a nuisance of the federal government's shortcomings, a well-known shortcoming, namely: the federal government's inability to protect its citizens!
"As I said earlier, I have a security company. Maybe you don't know what a security company is......"
Everyone looked at Jacob curiously, hoping that Jacob could explain it to everyone.
But Jacob did not continue, but turned over and dismounted, walked to the horse carrying the corpse, and dragged the corpse off the horse.
Then he turned to face the residents of Rose Creek and shouted, "The security company's business is not something that can be explained in one sentence. Anyway, I have a way, and I will keep Rose Creek safe in the future, as long as you can afford it...... But I would never be able to knock you out like Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death...... Well, let's not talk about it, and even if I talk about it now, I don't think you will believe it. It will only make you panic even more...... I'll wait until I've killed Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death, and the Wade Brotherhood. I think when you see their corpses, you'll understand that I'm not a man of wild talk!"
Bang –
The pale corpse landed in front of Donald, splashing up a puff of dust.
"This is the gunman of the Wade Brotherhood. Mr. Donald, you come and check. ”
Eve and Sophie also dismounted to help Jacob, placing the corpses neatly in front of the police station. Although the twelve corpses were not as stimulating as the senses of the Jingguan in the morning, these were the corpses of the Wade Brotherhood, and the Wade Brotherhood, who usually rode on their heads to make a fortune, was different from the Borg Gang, who had no stake in them.
"Oh God! It's ......."
"It's really ......"
"He's the only one with two ladies......"
"Maybe he can really ......"
A whisper of chatter spread among the residents of Rose Creek, all of whom stood on tiptoe to look at the corpse on the ground, repeatedly confirming that it was not from the Wade Brotherhood.
Hope, joy, fear, despair......
A tangled feeling spread through the crowd, and they looked at Jacob with complicated eyes, trying to see what power this handsome and graceful bounty hunter had to kill these vicious gunslingers unscathed!
“...... Mr. Fry!"
Donald didn't know how to describe how he felt.
What happened today was too big a shock to him. In the morning, the person in front of him came to receive the reward with the head of the Borg Gang, and he thought that it was a noble son who took the bought head to invite merit and reward, and came to gain fame......
Unexpectedly, within a few hours, Donald heard that the Wade Brotherhood had ambushed Jacob. I thought that Jacob would be shot to death by the Wade Brotherhood, but before he could lead someone to save people, or to grab the morning bounty, Jacob appeared in front of him, with twelve bodies of the Wade Brotherhood.
Only then did he know: this elegant young man is definitely a master!
"The Angel of Death is a nickname! You'll be a legend!"
Donald took off his hat and bowed, admiring and ashamed at the same time. As a law enforcer, he has to test a bounty hunter to maintain justice, and he is ashamed of himself!
"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm not just going to be a legend! I'm not going to take the bounty for these corpses until I've wiped out Anthony Wade, the Hand of Death, and the Wade Brotherhood, and then we'll settle the score. Hahaha...... Get the bounty ready, I'll be back the next morning at the latest!"
