Chapter 191 190, report truthfully

190,

"Excuse me, are these grains to be transported to Heishui Town?"

the next morning,

On the riverside of the upper Montana River, on the wide avenue leading to Blackwater Town, a dusty, disheveled pedestrian appeared in the middle of the road and stopped a convoy of more than a dozen large carts full of goods.

"Sir, we are indeed a convoy transporting grain to Heishui Town."

The leader of the convoy rode up to meet him, followed by two guards who were on guard with their right hands hanging on the handle of their guns.

In the deserted field, a person suddenly appeared and blocked the middle of the road.

Although the clothes on his body were neat, they were all scratched left and right by something.Coupled with the fact that he was carrying two rifles on his back, the bullet belt that was densely packed with bullets protruding from his chest, and the bloody and fleshy wound above the opponent's left ear, where the bones could be seen, all made the team leader in front of him Had to be careful.

"You stopped on the road, do you need our help?"

When the identity of the other party was unknown, the team leader tried to make his tone as gentle as possible.

"You are right, I really hope you can do me a favor," unexpectedly, the other party actually came to ask for help:
"I hope your team can help me turn around and go back, where I came from and where I am going back."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, I just hope that you can turn around and go back. This will be good for you, your goods, and me."

"What are you going to do? Robbery? This is the goods that the mayor of Heishui Town sent a telegram to name! I advise you not to be stupid, we..."

The leader wanted to say something more, but the guard behind him had drawn his gun, but compared with Dai Pingan, he pulled the trigger a little slower.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

Intensive gunshots erupted suddenly, spreading far along the open river, until the last trace of the tail sound dissipated in the ear, and the body that was shot began to roll off the horse.

"Puff!" "Puff!"...

The sound of falling behind one after another hit the leader's heart like a stone, and then there was a deathly silence, and even the most irritable horses did not make any movement at this moment.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the team leader dared to put down the palm that was covering his face, and dared to look forward.

That person was still standing in the middle of the road, the smoke that permeated the air dissipated little by little with the breeze, showing a faint smile, and finally overlapped with a certain photo that he seemed to have seen somewhere.

"Dear, wear, wear..."

That terrible name was on his lips, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"Dai Pingan."

While talking, the other party didn't even lift his head, and continued to swagger to remove the warm shell casings from the two cowboy revolvers, and reloaded the bullets one by one.

"Yes! It's Dai Ping'an, that's..."

Only then did the team leader finally remember to look back. He wanted to remind his teammates behind him, but what he saw was twelve empty saddles and the icy river.

Some corpses have drifted away with the river, some landed on the river beach with shocking bullet holes on their foreheads, and a few survived by luck, but hid behind the carriage with the driver, not even daring to show their heads.

"If they shoot at this time, should I kill them first, or you first, Mr. Leader?"

At some point, Dai Pingan, who loaded his gun, stood next to the team leader, and his tone of questioning was as simple as asking whether to eat bread or eggs this morning.

"Dear, wear, wear..."

"Dai Pingan."

"Yes, Dai Ping'an, no, Mr. Dai, we..."

"Well, let me ask you again, Mr. Leader, can you do me a favor and turn around, where did you come from, and where do you go back?"

"No problem! We're going back now, right away!"

"Wait a minute, I've changed my mind,"

Looking at the terrified face of the team leader, Dai Ping'an smiled naturally, not at all like a wanted criminal who kills without batting an eye:
"I'll go back with you."

A few minutes later, the team adjusted its direction and set off again. The coachman drove the heavy carriage to the front, and the surviving guards followed on horseback. The weapons and bullets on their bodies had been thrown into the Upper Montana River under the order of the team leader. I can't even find it.

Wearing the team leader's brand new gray trench coat, Dai Pingan accompanied the team leader at the end.

Although the cold wind in the early morning poured in through the gaps in the vest, beads of sweat oozed from the leader's forehead continuously.Dai Ping'an made it very clear that no matter what happened to the team in front of him, the first bullet in the gun would always be arranged for him.

Half an hour later, facing the oncoming grain transport convoy, the trembling team leader finally had the opportunity to follow Dai Pingan to the front:
"Excuse me, are these grains to be transported to Heishui Town?"

It has to be said that the power behind Colonel Beckett should not be underestimated. On the road from the upper Montana River to Fort Riggs where they stopped before, Dai Pingan encountered five convoys.

Each convoy has more than a dozen large vehicles with all kinds of daily necessities, enough to stop the chaos caused by the food shortage in Heishui Town.

However, from the friendly communication with several team leaders, Dai Pingan also got a piece of good news, that is, in addition to the supplies that were urgently transported away with the cavalry before, the remaining food was just halfway delivered, and Dai Pingan was in Shangmeng. The banks of the Dana were blocked back.

That is, after passing Riggs Camp Fort, this overstuffed and abnormally convoy finally attracted the attention of the Strawberry Town Police—two passing police officers stopped.

"Well, it looks like it's time for me to leave."

Looking ahead at the coachman who was being questioned by the police but hesitated and dared not speak, Dai Pingan patted the shoulder of the team leader who had been very cooperative along the way, and looked at the others:
"I know that some of your shipments were sent to Heishui Town, some were ordered by the superiors, and some were just to make a fortune, but no matter what, I would like to advise at the end, there is no business that is more important than life, goodbye."

While talking, Dai Ping'an smiled and nodded at them, turned his horse and ran into the nearby woods, and soon there was no movement.The few remaining team leaders who survived looked at me and I looked at you, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Dai Ping'an's departure made it possible for the people in front to finally stop talking about him and what they had to say, but the two police officers could solve any problems other than going back to Strawberry Town to report the situation.

However, the five team leaders who escaped from death had a disagreement after some discussion:

The three in the middle decided to rest on the spot and wait for the news from the police in Strawberry Township;
The last team encountered near Fort Riggs had the least losses, decided to take a risk, turned around and continued to Blackwater Town;
As for the team leader who met Dai Pingan first and was robbed of his windbreaker, he was fed up with the threat of fear, snatched a coat from his men, and led the rest of the team back to Strawberry Town without looking back. path of.

Dai Ping'an was right, no business is more important than being alive.

The convoy that turned around again and headed for Heishui Town was attacked before it had gone 200 meters.The crisp sound of the rifle startled a few pheasants playing in the forest, and the leader who was walking at the front of the team stopped and half of his head flew out.

Then came the guards who turned around and ran away on horseback. Without weapons, they couldn't even fight back. One by one, they were overtaken by bullets and fell off their horses and fell into the ground.

In the end, there were coachmen fleeing in all directions, unable to get out even on horseback, not to mention their legs, they were called out one by one by rifles like live targets, and only the smartest one was left hiding behind the carriage with a chance of escape.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the man dared to stick his head out to check the outside environment.

"thumping!"

The pheasant that had just landed flew out of the woods again, and the team that didn't heed the advice finally died cleanly like the luck that others still had in their hearts.

"Snapped!"

With the sound of applause, crimson palm prints floated on his face,

"Don't go? Do you know how much we will pay if we don't deliver the goods on time! The other party is the mayor of Heishui Town. Do you think this matter can be solved by just losing money!"

The angry company manager almost stared out, but what he saw was the indifferent eyes of the team leader:

"I quit."

"What did you say?"

"I said I quit, I want to resign!"

After saying this, the leader raised his hand and slammed it back.

He had had enough, he had seen too much death and too much wind this morning, and his head hurt badly.

Going to a fucking job, going to a fucking boss, nothing is more important than being alive.

At this moment, with a splitting headache, he just wanted to have a good drink, and then go to sleep, forget that demon, and forget everything that happened today.As for Heishui Town, whoever wants to die can go there, anyway, it has nothing to do with him!
As dusk fell and the lights were turned on, the leaders who pulled the goods away and brought them back encountered various pressures when they returned to Strawberry Town.

The results are consistent:
No team leader, no escort, no driver is willing to transport the goods one kilometer further south, not even Strawberry Town is willing to go out.

The accountability telegrams from Heishui Town were sent one after another, but the people who received them were just anxious.At this time, the leader of the team had already opened the door of a bar, found an empty table, and threw himself on it.

"whisky!"

The slap marks on his face were naturally noticed by everyone in the tavern, but no one said anything.

Strawberry Town is not big, and what happened to them has already spread in the town.You must know that there is still a whole convoy of goods, together with the corpses of the team members, placed outside Riggs Camp Fort, and no one dares to take it back.

The police did not dare to come forward to solve the matter, and naturally no one forced them to risk their lives.According to reliable sources, the mayor of the town, Nicholas Timmins, had already slapped the relevant report on the sheriff's face, and the normally majestic sheriff was almost slapped like the leader of the tour who was drinking and getting drunk.

No wonder Mayor Timmins wasn't angry.

Although Dai Pingan, the wanted criminal, was escaped from the police station in Strawberry Town when he was robbed, but what's the matter? In this day and age, no prisoner escaped from the police station in any small town.

Their Strawberry Town police were able to capture the vicious gangster Dai Pingan once, which has proved to the world the law enforcement capabilities of the local police station.As for the subsequent prison break, it was just an accident and nothing could be explained.

Moreover, after that accident, under the leadership and command of Nicholas Timmins, the Strawberry Township Police Department has significantly improved its law enforcement capabilities.As a result, the crime rate in Strawberry Town has been significantly reduced, becoming:
"A simple and pure mountain town that does not pick up lost things and never closes its doors at night, an elegant and friendly paradise. With the joint efforts of him and all the townspeople, this place has transformed into a veritable Versailles in the west, Venice in the mountains, Manhattan without pollution, a A high-level place where high-level people gather!"

It took him a lot of thought and connections to write this carefully written article before it was published on the front page of the Saint-Denis Daily.The purpose is to attract more high-quality tourists and residents to come to Strawberry Town for sightseeing, investment and residence.

As a result, just a few days after the newspaper was sold, a series of such brutal and terrifying murders occurred in the south of Strawberry Town and in the north of West Elizabeth. How do you ask him to explain to the tourists or residents who are planning to come!

This is no longer slapping him in the face, but pressing his head on the ground, dragging him from the east side of Strawberry Town to the west side and back again, and finally spit out two mouthfuls of yellow phlegm!

"Who can tell me, why did that damned demon come back after it had disappeared for a long time?"

"I think this may have something to do with the cavalry battalion stationed in the north of us, which went south overnight the day before yesterday..."

After the prison break, the current Sheriff of Strawberry Township was single-handedly picked up by Mayor Timmins, so he naturally behaved submissively in front of him.

"Damn it, of course I know that this has something to do with the cavalry battalion going south. What I want to know is, why did the cavalry stationed in the north of our West Elizabeth go south to meddle in their own business?

Detective Pinkerton in Blackwater is almost becoming his family's personal army, isn't that enough?

Could it be that so many people in the cavalry battalion couldn't see such a clear dividing line on the Upper Montana River? "

Don't tell me, I really can't see it.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion not only couldn't see it, but even if they saw it, they pretended not to see it, just like Mayor Timmins who was impassioned and filled with righteous indignation at the moment.

Colonel Beckett's troop dispatch telegrams from Blackwater Township were first sent to the Post Office in Strawberry Township, and then handed over to the Cavalry Battalion by a special person.How could Timmins, as the mayor of the town, not know about such a big event that hundreds of people were dispatched to the south.

Everyone knew it well, they just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, it's just that the situation has caused trouble now, and the mayor doesn't want to make himself responsible.

"Then what should we do now?"

asked the sheriff on one side.

"Report immediately! Not only should the wanted criminal Dai Pingan be rampant in our Strawberry Town, but also report the murder case and ask the government for support. We should also report the matter of the cavalry battalion commander's unauthorized deployment of troops."

"However, it's Mayor Bate's intention to send troops to the south. We can't afford to mess with the Robinson family."

"Don't you understand now? This is no longer something that can't be provoked. It's a question of whether we can continue to hold our current position."

Mayor Timmins explained bitterly:

"If this matter is not reported, the higher-ups will pursue it. Mayor Bate has the Robinson family behind him, so there is no problem. But we have nothing, two ready-made scapegoats, and a crime of not reporting the knowledge is enough for the two of us accepted.

But if we reported the truth, it was the mayor of Beit who transferred troops across borders without authorization, and the commander of the cavalry battalion went to support us. You and I don't know anything, no matter how many people die, it doesn't matter to us.

Remember, we can't mess with the Robinsons, someone can. "

"Then when shall we report by telegram?"

"Now! The sooner the better!"
