"Congratulations, Major Rand, you not only brought soldiers to kill the rebellious bandits, but also found the insiders of the bandits hidden among the residents. It is indeed a great achievement!"

Rand said with a smile: "You are too polite, Mr. Corleone. If you hadn't found me to jointly suppress the bandits, how would I have received such great credit."

Pointing at the bandits in the courtyard, Rand continued, "You are very brave. I saw you kill five bandits, as well as Guiliano, the wanted man who tried to escape when things were going wrong."

"Hahaha."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Rand asked the soldiers to tie all the bandits' corpses to the car fence, and he was going to take a tour of the town.

And discussed with Russell to organize a speech in the town square to increase prestige.

Of course, the main character will be Russell.

Rand will also invite people from the government and the military to participate and introduce some friends to Russell.

While soldiers suck at fighting, cleaning is a joy.

In just over ten minutes, all traces of forgery were cleaned up.

Before leaving, Russell told Rand, "It would be a very funny joke to the townspeople if no one was hurt when your men fought the bandits."

So far, it all depends on Rand's own taste.

Fortunately, Rand's understanding is good. He quickly summoned the soldiers and gave a speech before he got to the point.

"All those who came out to carry out the mission of suppressing bandits this time have war damage subsidies and economic subsidies! However, our mission is over, but no one was injured. It will be very difficult to explain after we go back."

At this time, Rand's adjutant came out and reported: "Sir, we can smear the blood of the bandits on our soldiers, enough to dazzle the residents."

Rand nodded solemnly: "So how to avoid the review of the medical officer?"

The adjutant replied: "Sir, we can give the medical officer two thousand lire to blind him for two days."

"Very good, have you all heard? Just act according to the adjutant's suggestion and prepare separately."

"Yes!"

Soldiers can do this kind of thing with ease and familiarity.

It took only a few minutes to arm themselves, with gauze wrapped around the head, ears wrapped in gauze, and legs and arms bound.

Of course, they didn't forget to smear blood on the wound.

Rand led the troops back to the town, and met Russell at the intersection outside the town.

There was a corpse lying on the ground, and Rand got out of the car curiously to look at it.

After seeing the bullet hole between Guiliano's eyebrows, he couldn't help looking at Russell.

"Mr Corleone, what shall we do next?"

"It's very simple, hang Guiliano in the most conspicuous place..."

Next, Guiliano's body was hung in the front car, with a sign hanging on his chest, which read: Bandit leader Guiliano, wanted for a crime...a reward of 20 lire.

The bounty is very large, because the residents don't know who Guiliano is, but after seeing the astonishingly huge bounty, they will definitely be surprised, and regard Guiliano as the most vicious criminal who has committed heinous crimes!

Not only that, Russell also asked Rand to remove the awning behind the car, so that the residents could see the injuries of the soldiers intuitively, and there would always be kind people shed tears of emotion.

In the end, Rand's adjutant served as the communicator. He held a big horn when the car drove into the town.

Then he shouted loudly: "The bandits who endangered the town have been wiped out! Guiliano, the wanted criminal of the vicious bandits, has been arrested!..."

Chapter 27 Marlena goes out to show off her beauty

The military vehicle with the corpse of the bandit paraded around the town, and the adjutant shouted hard, attracting the attention of many residents.

When the residents understood what had happened, they criticized the bandits one after another, especially the mayor of Salvaltore.

Seeing the wounded soldiers again, many kind-hearted residents finally shed tears of gratitude.

Residents gathered more and more, following behind the slowly advancing military vehicle, when passing by Marlena's house, many people turned their heads to look inside the house, but unfortunately her house had curtains to block the peeping eyes from the glass.

Inside the house, Marlena was pouring boiling hot water into the iron. She designed a new suit for Russell the day before yesterday. She wanted to iron this newly washed suit. It would look even better for Russell when he wore it. stylish.

When Malena heard the voice outside, she didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing Russell's name, she put down the iron and listened carefully.

When she heard that Mr. Corleone took a huge risk to go to the canyon more than ten kilometers away to suppress bandits, her heart also trembled.

Marlena was relieved when she heard that Russell killed the bandit leader with his own hands.

As the military vehicle drifted away, the adjutant's voice became smaller and smaller.

Malena folded the suit, turned around and went back to the room, and changed into very plain clothes.

She didn't want to steal Russell's limelight because of her bright clothes.

Malena quietly left the house and followed the crowd like a kitten, walking with her head down.

But she underestimated her figure too much, even if she wanted to dress up in a mediocre way, she could still be recognized at a glance.

The residents stared sideways and talked quietly.

men say:

"Look! Marlena actually walked out of the room."

"She is so beautiful, I dreamed of her last night, so I woke up early in the morning and spent half an hour with my wife."

"Even if she is wearing plain clothes, she still can't hide her beautiful face."

"I haven't seen Marlena for a long time, she is as beautiful as ever!"

women say:

"What's so interesting about a widow going out? I don't know why these men are so excited."

"Hmph, a group of cowards with lust but no guts. Even if they have half the bravery of Mr. Russell, they will have dinner with Marlena."

"Keep your voice down. Malena and Mr. Russell have a good relationship. The two often communicate in secret. Malena even asked my child to pass a note to Mr. Russell."

"What's written on the note?"

"Who knows, my child is too upright and behaves well, so he didn't read the note at all."

"Oh! I said why Malena is hiding at home, not afraid of being starved to death. It turns out that Mr. Russell helped her."

"Don't you know? Mr. Russell and Scodia are comrades-in-arms at the upper and lower levels, and I also heard from the officials in the Zhenzheng Mansion."

"Marlena is not easy to mess with now. If Mr. Russell is angered because of her, the consequences will definitely be serious."

……

Marlena was silent behind, she didn't know what to say.

Russell really helped her a lot during this period, making her life more worry-free. In addition to designing clothes every day, she can also grow some flowers and plants, and even practice the craft of brewing coffee and black tea.

Because she heard from Sylvana that Mr. Corleone especially likes to drink black tea, while he only drinks hand-ground coffee.

Marlena felt the different attitudes of the residents when she went out this time.

In the past, when she was walking on the street, the men in the small town would only stare at her with greedy eyes and tell dizzy jokes.The women's eyes revealed jealousy, their faces were ferocious, and they cursed her forcefully as a shameless woman.

Now the voices of the residents attacking her have become quieter. As for whether the heart is purified, there is no way to know.

Marlena knew that the reason they were like this was entirely because of Mr. Corleone.

Russell told her before that the women in the town were jealous of her beauty, so no matter whether she had done anything or not, they couldn't control the spread of rumors.

A woman's jealousy is quite terrifying.

Malena silently followed the crowd and came to the square of the bustling street.

She purposely found a remote corner, hid behind the stone pillar, scanned the people on the podium, and searched for the person she wanted to see.

under the podium.

Russell and Rand were being surrounded by the crowd, shaking hands with them one by one.

These people are dressed in military uniforms and suits, from the military and government.

Palermo was not far from the town of Casticuto, and they arrived within a few hours of Rand's telegram.

And with bounties and medals and attitude from above!

When Russell introduced these people, he clearly stated his surname, which made several people who had never heard of him exclaim for a while.

Rand also introduced to them that Russell had made great military exploits on the battlefield. After receiving two medals, the eyes of these people softened a lot.

One of them, named Harms, tried to persuade Russell.

"Although you are from the Corleone family, you are also an Italian hero! My friend Senator Hagen has known this for a long time. It is precisely because your surname is Corleone and an Italian hero that people feel that we are a very inclusive family. more convinced that we can bring people to prosperity!"

Harms is a senator from the lower province of Palermo, and has a lot of power.

He was able to be there in person, definitely to give Uncle Rand Hagen face, because the two wore a pair of trousers.

Since Hagen asked him to come, there must be a reason. The most important reason is to meet Russell and talk about the follow-up development of the cigarette factory.

"Mr. Corleone, you have to go to a sunny place so that you can sleep peacefully in the dark."

Russell smiled and said, "Mr. Harms, I want to implement your proposal as soon as possible. I can't wait to bask in the sun."

"Hahaha... When the ceremony is over, I will ask them to prepare a dance party tomorrow night, invite your dance partner, be sure to come!"

"Must be there."

The square was full of people, and most of the residents of the town came.

They stood quietly below, looking up at the people on the stage.

Harms has the highest status, and he will take over the overall situation and come to the stage to make the opening.

He first introduced his identity, and secondly, he showed the importance he attached to this bandit suppression, and he clarified the owner of the first achievement - Russell Corleone!

So much so that Rand, the nephew of the district councilor, can only be willing to play a supporting role.

No way, who made Hagen and Harms have an attempt on Russell.

Next, the eloquent adjutant came to the stage to give a detailed statement on the process of suppressing bandits.

"Mr. Russell Corleone was very brave. He braved the hail of bullets and killed five vicious bandits, and personally killed the bandit leader, the wanted criminal Salvatore Guiliano with a bounty of 20 lire!"

"Mr. Corleone was the first to discover the bandits, and contacted Major Rand to send troops to suppress the bandits. During the process, Mr. Corleone discovered that Mayor Salvaltore was in collusion with the bandits!"

Chapter 28 Malena, you have a new job

Yes, Rand told Harms after meeting him.

Hams believed that this matter was completely led by Russell, and he and Congressman Hagen wanted to get closer to Russell, so they decided to give all the credit to Russell and only give Rand the credit for suppressing the bandits, but this is enough Get him a Cross.

When the residents in the audience heard that Russell was so brave, they all looked up at him with very respectful eyes.

At the same time, someone discovered Russell's surname and whispered in the audience.

"His surname is Corleone? Isn't he afraid of being caught and shot?"

"My God, the government of Italy is too inclusive. Even Corleone can become an Italian hero, and he can still take it so seriously."

"Calmly analyze, since Mr. Corleone has been accepted by the government, what does it have to do with us?"

"Mr. Corleone gave us peace, captured and killed the bandits who endangered the security of our town, he is a meritorious minister!"

Naturally, there were subordinates of Olijatu and Niveno in the crowd, and of course they wanted to speak for Russell, who was their godfather!

Marlena was a little excited after hearing Russell's heroic deeds. She looked at him with admiration and admiration.

When she heard the residents talking, she wanted to speak for Russell, but before she could speak, someone spoke for her.

Then the residents pointed their guns at the dead mayor, swearing at him and cursing viciously.

"Savaltore colluded with bandits to endanger the town. The evidence is solid? Oh my God!"

"Is there any justice in the town in his shadow?"

"It's a good death for him, and it's a good death for Mr. Corleone. Now the dentist couple and Ottoby can rest in peace."

"Sarvaltore is a traitor!"

"I really want to scatter his ashes in the Mediterranean, let him have fun with those damn souls!"

"People usually look like dogs, but in reality they are wolf-hearted!"
