Chapter 618 Past Events

The group of farmers Zhang Heng rescued from the church had just reached the center of the town when they met another group of people.

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

The strong black man at the head said angrily, "Davidson, you bastards actually colluded with the Cook gang and wanted to kill all of us with the help of those gangsters!"

The guy named Davidson on the other side should also be the leader of the town's residents. He defended himself and said, "Listen to me, Nickel. We just wanted to teach you a lesson. We didn't expect that things would develop to this extent. We did make a mistake." Wrong, we shouldn’t trust the Cook gang.”

"Tell these nonsense to those people who died." Nickel said coldly, "Now that those bastards have been killed by a good man named Zhang Heng, what do you want to do when you stop us? To finish what they didn’t do, to drive us out and kill them all?”

"Of course not, we just want to chat with you. We just discussed that considering your losses this time, we can put together 5,000 US dollars to give you. Of course, we know that this amount of money is far from being able to heal the loss of your relatives and friends. It's painful... but at least it can make your next life a little easier."

"With you here, our life will never become easy." Nikhil said angrily, "Also, you are not just so kind in wanting to compensate us. If you have any other bullshit, let's talk about it together."

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

Davidson was only halfway through what he said when he saw Nichol spit on the ground. Then Nichol's eyes swept across the people in front of him. No one dared to make eye contact with him, and they all lowered their heads, "You bastards, They shot him, thirty-two shots in total, and everyone had a share. They shot the Sheriff of their own town, and they didn't kill him immediately. They deliberately avoided the vital points and left him alone on the ground to die. It had to be It’s an eye-opener for a nigger like me to admit that you white gentlemen really know how to play.”

"What can we do?" The owner of the grocery store couldn't help but interjected at this time, "The Cook Gang is standing next to us with guns watching us. If we don't do what they say, they will He wants to kill us too."

"Nichol," Davidson continued, "Everyone here feels guilty all the time for what happened that day. Our consciences are tortured. We have been punished, but what has happened is that we can only look forward. There is no other way. As long as we can reach a consensus that Chief Harper died at the hands of the Cook Gang like everyone else, we will let you go."

"Why, are you worried that the good things you have done will be known to others, and your conscience will be tortured? What kind of punishment is this? Do you know what punishment is? When each of you is hanged on the gallows because of this matter, this is Damn punishment."

"Is it necessary to do this, Nickel? If I remember correctly, your relationship with Chief Harper is not good. Don't forget that he also hates black people, and many of your people have been imprisoned by him. Go to jail."

"Yes, Harper is an annoying and uneducated old bastard. I have thought about putting a bullet in that bald head countless times, but when the Cook gang wants to kill us, except for that Mr. Matthew, only this old bastard stood up... In the whole town, he was the only one who stood up. You have to admit, that old bastard was quite smart, and then you killed the only smart person in the whole town. "

"We had no choice at the time..." the grocery store owner muttered.

"You always have a choice. You have guns in your hands, and your numbers are no less than theirs, but you don't even dare to resist," Nickl sneered, "You are a bunch of cowards. Now, either we Get out of here or start a war, where does all this nonsense come from."

"Nichol, it's not that simple." Davidson continued to explain patiently, "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 Cook There are still more than thirty people in the Gang. They are all desperadoes with blood on their hands, not farmers and miners like you and me. When those people come back, we will face their wrath, so now we We must unite together to face the coming catastrophe. Only in this way can we save the town."

"Are your heads broken, Davidson? To cooperate with you after something like this happened, we might as well shoot ourselves in the head. Who knows if the situation is bad, you will immediately Turn the gun, you will do anything to survive."

…………

While the two gangs were still confronting each other, Zhang Heng had quietly taken a detour back to the hotel.

Wendy hurriedly moved the table against the door.

"Has anyone been here when I was away?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes, the owner of the grocery store. He ran over not long after you left. But before he knocked on the door, he went to find someone else. What happened outside? I saw a lot of people." Wendy asked curiously.

"The people living in Bliss town are mainly a group of miners and their families. Because mining has caused nearby water sources to be polluted, crops have died in large areas, and the rest are also sluggish, which has triggered the anger of local farmers. Both sides The relationship began to become more and more tense, and there would be some er... friction from time to time, until six months ago,

"A boy from a miner's family went out to play with a girl from a farmer's family. Only the boy came back, but the girl disappeared. The girl's father thought that the boy had murdered the girl, so he gathered a few friends and rushed to the boy's house. , killed the boy and his brother who was about to resist. As a result, the girl returned home safely two days later, only to find out that she had quarreled with the boy, and out of anger, wandered around alone and lost her way.

"So this time it was the miners' turn to come to ask for an explanation... armed with guns, the farmers got the news in advance and organized manpower. Clashes broke out between the two sides, with three or four people injured each. In addition, these farmers would arrive from time to time. There was trouble in the mine, and the conflicts became deeper and deeper.

"About a month and a half ago, a hunchbacked old man appeared in the town. He listened to the miners complaining about this matter while drinking in the bar, so he told the miners that he could help the miners solve their problems, as long as the miners were willing to pay six thousand For 1 yuan, he said he could find someone to teach the farmers a lesson so that they would not dare to cause trouble again.

"The miners discussed it and thought it was feasible, so they pooled the money. Then the hunchbacked old man came here with the Cook gang. They arrested the farmers and planned to kill them all and their families. At the same time, in order to prevent the miners in the town from regretting it, they also forced them to kill their own police chief. The process... was quite cruel, so I won’t describe it in detail, but I don’t think their purpose was really just to make money. That six thousand yuan is for your father."

"Is my father related to this matter?" Wendy asked in surprise.

"Your father is not related to this matter, but to Cook, the leader of the Cook Gang, so everything makes sense. Do you still remember the one-armed man from the Cook Gang who was hanged before? There is a reason for appearing in Lincoln County. I guess it is most likely to find your father. The guy pretending to be the sheriff doesn't know what the relationship is between Cook and your father, but there is no doubt that the two know each other. , Oh, and maybe Sheriff Dolan from Glen Town, the three of them are old acquaintances, and Cook threatened your father with the lives of these farmers to ask him to help do something."
