"The boss is dead!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!!"

With Hanon's death, the morale of the army was inevitably shaken.

Just like the ancestor dragon dies and the world is divided, Hanong is the reassurance of this group of people. Having Hanong and others are the most fierce bandits in the western region. If Hanong loses Hanong, they are the wild dogs whose backbone is broken, and they are no different from ordinary criminal gangs.

"Hanon is dead, the sheriff shot Hanon to death!"

"Hurry, fight back quickly, don't let them take things away!"

The same change is reflected in the residents of the town. They dare not resist Hanon because this guy is cruel and unkind, and no one who goes against him will end up with him.

After Hanong's death, ordinary bandits were not afraid.

Just like the heroes in the world rose up after the death of Zulong, the Great Qin was still the same Great Qin, and it did not change, it became just the heart of the people.

Crack!!

Gunshots rang out in the town, and everyone could beat the dogs in the water. Now is the time to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

The guards took the lead in firing, and the gunshots were quickly responded by the stolen shop owner.

These local rich men who run shops belong to the wealthy class in the town. Not to mention that their family is rich, they also have more surplus food.

The retreating bandits took away their property that they had worked hard for years or even decades. When Hanong was alive, they did not dare to resist. When Hanong died, they would not have such concerns.

Next, the gunshots extended outward again, and the residents of the town spontaneously shot at the bandits.

For a moment, the bandits felt that they had fallen into the enemy's ambush circle, just like the Japanese who were fooled by tunnel warfare. They had no idea where the enemy was or how many people were, but they only knew that there were gunfire everywhere.

The bandits soon panicked and didn't want money anymore. They rode their horses and just wanted to escape from the town.

As soon as I escaped to the gate of the town, I met the farmers who came to support me.

These farmers, every household has guns, and many of them even hire grazing cowboys, with a large number of people.

Under the leadership of Lin Zhizhou, they met the bandits on a narrow road and a gunfight broke out.

As soon as the war started, these people discovered that the bandits were not as terrifying as the legend.

They were more like frightened birds, and they began to flee after throwing down a few corpses.

"Seven or eight people ran away, all the remaining were shot or arrested, more than a dozen of our people died, and more than fifty town residents died in battle!"

After the post-war statistics, the tragic victory was taken. If the residents of the town were also included, Lin Yao's losses would even exceed those of Hanong and his gang.

There is nothing we can do about this. Not every resident is a warrior, and not everyone is resisting.

Many people were killed like killing chickens, such as the coolies who were beaten to death on the street. They died very poorly, and the bandits just wanted to use them to establish their authority.

"Send a telegram to the state legislature and say that Hanon was shot dead by us. I will ask if the reward of Hanon's 100,000 US dollars should be allocated to our town."

Lin Yao held a rifle and accompanied by the surviving guards, he looked at the corpses of the bandits placed on both sides of the road.

These corpses are priceless. Except for Hanon who was given a reward of 100,000 US dollars for the arms robbery, the others also have more or less rewards.

They also made a big splash.

"Hanon was shot dead by us, and the state assembly should not refuse the bounty. It's just that so many people died in the town, and many people have helped us fight against Hanon. I'm afraid many people will have opinions on how to allocate this bounty."

Lin Yao paused slightly and replied: "I will arrange it. When the money comes, I will divide the money into four parts, one to the family of the deceased, one to the town guards, one to the town residents who fired the gun, and the other is mine."

The town sheriff is the one who shot Hanong to death, so Lin Yao must take the big head.

One hundred thousand dollars, this is not a small amount of money.

No matter how much he divides, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars, which is also the fundamental reason why bounty hunters like to chase wanted criminals.

Catch a priceless wanted criminal and thousands of dollars will come.

Many people became rich overnight, bought farms and mines, and lived a wealthy life from then on.

"Sheriff, the matter of Serravi..."

"I feel guilty about his family first, but I have to do that, because behind me is the entire town of Stone, his sacrifice creates favorable conditions for our victory."

Lin Yao glanced at the pocket watch and whispered: "It's getting late. I'm going to visit the families of the deceased. If you have something to do, I'll call me."

After a big battle, some people are happy and some are sad.

The town guards included the civilians, and there were 73 people who died in battle. This is the tragedy of the seventy-three families.

Especially the coolies who were shot dead, their family conditions were very poor, otherwise they would not have been used as coolies.

I don’t know when the bounty will be implemented. It may be three to five days, ten days and half a month, or it may be delayed for three to five months.

As a town sheriff, he had to bring greetings to the families of the deceased, and then see if some families need relief after losing these pillars. Don’t starve to death without waiting for the compensation.

It was still raining in the sky.

After a busy day, Lin Yao visited most of the families of the deceased and sent cordial greetings.

In the end, there was only one family left and he did not visit.

That is the Seravi family. He put the Seravi family to the end, and left enough room for himself to think about how he would face it if the Seravi family members were tough.

"Madame Seravi, are you at home?"

When Lin Yao arrived here, it was already evening. Because it was rainy and dark early, smoke had already risen in the kitchen.

"Come in!"

Lin Yao pushed the door and found a kerosene lamp lit in the room.

Although the price of kerosene is not high, it is not often used by ordinary families. In most small towns, they will not light the lights at night unless necessary, in order to save some kerosene money.

The Seravi family is obviously different.

As a tax collector in the town, his income is good among middle-class families. He can do as long as he wants to order kerosene lamps, and there will be no financial pressure.

The kerosene lamp hanging in the air brought light to the room.

A middle-aged woman was cooking soup, while four little guys were sitting at the table waiting for the start of supper.

"You should have heard of Mr. Serravi, Madam?"

Lin Yao sat on the sofa and asked under the eyes of a group of little guys.

Mrs. Seravi nodded. She was not as sad as Lin Yao imagined, but said calmly: "I have learned about the incident. You used my husband as a target to kill Hanon, the leader of the bandit."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Seravi paused and said, "I think this is not in accordance with the rules. There is no law in Texas that stipulates that in order to deal with the gangsters, you should protect the safety of the hostages and focus on hostages. But you sacrificed my poor husband without hesitation. I really don't know how you have the face to see me."

Lin Yao was silent for a moment and said, "It's non-compliant, but the tragedy has already happened. We must learn to face it."

"My husband is the pillar of the family. You have also seen that we have four children to raise. Although he likes to drink and sometimes beat me up and scold me, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father and could bring income to this family. He is no longer here, and I can't imagine how to live in the future, and I don't have the ability to raise four children."

Lin Yao listened carefully, and after a moment he spoke, "So what?"

"I need money, a lot of money, I have to raise four children to grow up."

People cannot be resurrected when they die, but money can soothe some pain.

Mrs. Seravi’s meaning is very simple. I can avoid making trouble, but you have to give me a lot of money.

"Can!"

Lin Yao nodded and agreed, saying bluntly: "Hanon's bounty is 100,000 US dollars, which will be divided into several shares and distributed to several individuals, including one of mine."

"If you agree to forget about this and not cause trouble for me, I can guarantee that I will give you half of it in my share. This is about 20,000 US dollars, which is enough for you to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life."

“I need to think about it…”
