"Twelve Twelve other good people who have heaven and earth with you have tried you and said that you are guilty. Look at the good deeds you have committed, you... " On the wooden platform, the drunk sheriff pointed to a guy with a rope around his neck.
"You fight for a horse, stabbing the owner of that horse to death with a knife, making a mother lose her son, a wife lose her husband, and an innocent child lose her father. What else do you have to say?"
"That's right. I didn't control my temper at that time. I killed him by mistake, and then I fell into this field, but now it's too late to say anything." The dwarf obviously knew that his death was imminent, and took a breath, "I just hope to apologize to the family of the man I killed, although I know they may not forgive me, that's all."
Then he nodded at the sheriff and closed his mouth.
The next moment a black headgear was put on his head.
At this time, the drunkard Sheriff came to another man, who was a strong looking man. When he saw that the drunkard sheriff's eyes flashed an undisguised look of disgust.
"You insulted your sister-in-law when your brother went out to sell cattle, and killed your brother after it was revealed. This kind of evil behavior, which happened in this land, is a blatant provocation to the judicial system and human morality. I should kill you when you run away. You shouldn't live for so many days and waste food. OK, I'll say my last words Let's go. "
"No, you've got the wrong man. You shouldn't believe that [beep]. I didn't kill my brother! There's another adulterer, and they've got together to frame me up, so that when my brother and I die, the ranch will fall into her and her lover's hands. "
Compared with the previous dwarf, the second man was obviously very excited. He was yelling and struggling all the time. His face was full of despair. The executioner had to carry him on his back to make him a little quiet.
The drunkard Sheriff snorted coldly, "your trial is over. The jury has made their choice. If you have any objection to this part, you can directly tell him when you see God, oh Sorry, I almost forgot that a villain like you can't see God. Go to hell, asshole. Next one. "
After that, he took out the bottle again and took a sip of whiskey. Then he came to the last one armed man, "you..." The drunkard Sheriff just said one word and got stuck. He pointed to the one armed man and the latter, who had big eyes and small eyes. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "what have you done?"
Under the wooden platform, a man named Jameson covered his forehead. It seemed that he could not bear to see this scene, and the crowd became restless.
"Quiet, quiet." The drunkard Sergeant yelled twice, reached out and took out a piece of crumpled paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and looked at the words on it, "Oh, damn, you're from Cook's gang. You robbed trains many times, robbed two towns and slaughtered civilians. You can't write all the laws you violated. To tell you the truth, it's cheap for you to die only once for such a crime. You should pay attention to it I should be glad that I'm not in the middle ages, or I'll nail you on the wall and let you die slowly, so that I can hear your cry every day when I pass from below. "
The one armed man was the calmest of the three. Wen Yan shook his head. "You're wrong. I robbed trains and caravans several times, but that's what happened before I lost my arm. After that, I left the cook gang and settled here. Robbing the town has nothing to do with me."
"It doesn't matter. You've done enough to die anyway." The drunkard sheriff said impatiently, "if you want to repent, hurry up. I've finished my drink."
"I won't repent. It's you who should repent." One armed man light way, his eyes swept the people under the wooden platform, I do not know why, he saw people do not dare to look at him, silently look away.
This scene seems a little ridiculous. It is clear that the one armed man committed the crime. However, only by looking at each other's looks, the people who were tried became the residents of the county below.
"Now that you know my true identity, you should also know the attitude of the cook Gang towards the enemy," the one armed man said with a smile. "Today you hang me, tomorrow the news will come out, and it will soon spread to cook's ears. Soon my brothers will come to revenge for me, and what happened in those two towns will repeat here, and they will come back Turn every inch of land here into scorched earth, those you know and care about will die in front of you, you can hear their screams, and then it's your turn My trial is over, but your trial has just begun. I'm finished. Let's go. " With the last word, he nodded to the sheriff.
The one armed man's words made the people in the square fall into silence. The atmosphere of uneasiness and worry spread among the people. The cook Gang is the largest gang in New Mexico, with more than 50 people. They are numerous, powerful and ruthless. Their hands are stained with blood. They not only kill civilians, but also dare to fight with the law enforcement officers. No one knows their bad reputation I don't know. When I heard that it was possible to get into trouble with these evil stars, many people began to feel up and down in their hearts.Even some people began to hope that the drunkard Sheriff would let people go and everyone would end peacefully.
However, the latter just sneered, "put away your nonsense. People living in this land will not be frightened by you. As long as I'm still here and Jeremy cook and his followers dare to step into the town, they won't want to leave again."
"We'll see." The one armed man was also put on a black headgear.
With the executioner pulling the lever, the plank under the feet of the three people opened and fell down quickly. They all died soon.
There was a scream from the crowd, and a woman covered her mouth.
Zhang Heng also watched the execution outside the police station, but he didn't respond. After all, no one in the world is more familiar with the gallows than pirates. Zhang Heng even took 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 is far away from Santa Fe, the political center of New Mexico, but it has many residents. Although it is also faced with the shortage of law enforcers like other towns, there are many pastures in the county, and there are a lot of cowboys. Cook and his 50 odd people want to raze it It's not that easy.
But I don't know if it's Zhang Heng's own illusion. After he had a conflict with the two cowboys before, he always felt that someone was staring at him behind his back. After he came out of the bar, his gaze was still there, even when everyone was around the square to watch the execution.
Are they the two cowboys? Zhang Hengxin thought that although he had just been warned by the drunkard sergeant, if the other party really chased him all the time, he could only teach them a lesson.
