2024-04-29 21:04:32Henry looked at it and saw that it was indeed full of U.S. dollars. He immediately put everything in the wallet into the space, then took out some chocolates and candies from the space, put them into the wallet, and pulled up the zipper.
Then he took off the horse bandit's special single-action revolver, picked up the Winchester 1873 rifle that the horse bandit dropped on the ground, and continued to move forward.
With his back turned to everyone, he put the Colt revolver into space and continued to call names with the bandit leader's rifle along the way.
After clearing the bullets from the gun chamber with 12 shots, he reloaded the rifle while walking. After more than ten seconds, the rifle started roaring again.
Henry has one principle - every horse bandit who falls to the ground must be shot in the neck or chest.
The roar of guns, the neighing of war horses, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the strong iron smell of blood all made Henry's blood boil, smelling the smell of freedom, and feeling that he was truly alive.
But his mood was very stable, and he steadily fired the shot at the gangster's neck, just like a tree planter taking a final slap on the fresh loess at the root of the tree to ensure the completion.
Nearly ten minutes had passed by the time he completed the task of refiring his gun on a section of road more than 400 meters long.
Everyone in the town saw that Henry was as brave as a demon in front, but as diligent as an old farmer in the field behind him, and they were speechless for a moment.
Mayor William also arrived at the entrance of the town.
Everyone felt that Henry, who had a gentle face, was really ruthless.
After all, fighting and cleaning up the battlefield are two different things. In some places, it is even more important not to kill or even torture prisoners.
Where are there any prisoners here, Henry?
How many people can fire dozens or hundreds of shots at a human body or a corpse without changing a look?
This scene made the already noisy crowd at the entrance of the town quickly quiet down, silently watching that lonely, cold and powerful figure.
The energetic James recalled his act of seeking death by taking over Henry's duel more than ten minutes ago. Beads of sweat broke out on his head, and he was deeply grateful to the mayor and these horse bandits.
Finally, Henry, who had finished harvesting, returned to the entrance of the town, took the rifle handed over by Peter, and said: "Mayor, there are still the bodies of more than 20 police officers and more than 50 horses at Coyote Hill 5 miles away. "
William nodded and immediately arranged for a cowboy to drive a carriage and twelve cowboys to ride over.
Henry turned his horse's head and began to collect more than seventy horses scattered on the road.
A total of 78 gangsters were killed this time, three of whom were not killed by Henry.
Although he recharged his gun as soon as possible, the three unlucky guys were directly attacked by the crowd and killed immediately. He really couldn't make it on time.
This made Henry feel like he had missed out on 100 million!
Three other horses fell down and injured their legs.
The rest of the people also rushed over to help.
When everyone finally sorted out all the items and put them away, more than an hour had passed.
Everyone who went to Coyote Hill has returned.
The whole town fell into a strange atmosphere of sadness and excitement.
The family of the dead police officer was shrouded in grief and tears, while other personnel were extremely excited by the glorious victory over the horse bandits.
It was only around 6 o'clock in the evening, and the four bars were already packed with people.
Except for some cowboys bragging, most people were intensely discussing how fast and accurate Henry's gun was.
This had nothing to do with Henry for the time being, because he was called by Mayor William to go to the town government office for a meeting.
Mayor William is also the judge of this town. He combines administrative power and judicial power. He is the local emperor of this town.
Sheriff Bryan said before that he was elected by the town committee, but in fact it was recommended by Mayor William - similar to a designation.
However, over the past twenty-two years, the residents of the town have become accustomed to the management of Mayor William.
Moreover, William was fair and fair in dealing with things, so no one had any big complaints.
Although the addition of the McKinley family and the Palermo family ten years ago and seven years ago caused some impact on William's authority, it was basically still within control.
In addition to Henry, Ronald, and William, the attendees also included six members of the town committee—four of whom were William's people.
These committee members are mine owners, large farmers, financiers and other wealthy people who have high status in the town.
The first topic of the meeting was why these gangs openly attacked the small town.
But after a few minuteses of discussion, no one had a clue.
After all, although 122 gangsters were killed and only 8 escaped, not a single one was left alive.
It’s really Henry’s hands that are too hot!
Except for Ronald, who only came here five years ago, these people can be said to have watched Henry grow up. I never expected that this taciturn little boy who had just turned 20 could be so vicious!
Real killing is like mowing grass!
It is impossible to blame them, all those who died were horse bandits.
What's more, it is a long-standing tradition in the circles of white elites that the winner is not criticized.
And they will still count on Henry's protection in the future.
Finally, William said: "In addition to our own police station continuing to investigate, I will contact the Pinkerton Detective Agency to also investigate the ins and outs of this matter."
Next is the second major issue - the distribution of the spoils.
The loot is divided into two parts.
The war horses, saddles and weapons harvested for the first time at Coyote Hill were worth about US$6,000.
The gangsters’ bounties at police stations in various places are worth about US$7,000.
The total amount is about 13,000 US dollars.
Henry proposed that he would not take any of the spoils and would distribute them all to the families of the deceased as pensions.
Mainly because almost all the guns, ammunition and cash went to Henry's space.
After final discussion by the committee, William finalized the pension standard: each of the 19 ordinary police officers received a compensation of US$500, the four deputy police chiefs each received a compensation of US$1,500, and Brian received a compensation of US$3,000.
The various tools, war horses, guns and cash harvested at the entrance of the town for the second time were worth approximately US$30,000.
The reward for the gangsters is about 10,000 US dollars.
The total is $40,000.
More than 70% of the enemies were killed by Henry, but considering the aftermath and the large number of people involved.
Finally, with Henry's consent, 60% of the US$24,000 was distributed to Henry, 30% of the US$12,000 was distributed to everyone involved in the battle, and 10% of the US$4,000 went to the town government. In this way, the town government only needs to subsidize US$1,500.
Of course, these valuations are preliminary, and the specific amount will depend on the specific processing results in the next few days.
The last topic is to elect a new Sheriff.
Although the McKinley family committee members strongly recommended Ronald, the other six committee members, including the town mayor, all chose Henry.
There is no way, in the wild western world, force represents too much, especially excellent force.
Henry's record is really amazing, and it was achieved in full view of the public, and there is no doubt about it.
In addition, the committee members are worried that if Henry is not selected, he will leave the town decisively.

It was close to 9 p.m., except for the four bars, all other shops were basically closed, and every house was closed.There are no streetlights in the town.

There was also a gas lamp hanging at the door, and the house was also brightly lit.The door to the first floor was ajar, and voices could be heard faintly inside.Are you still busy so late?Henry thought for a moment in the shadows and decided to take action immediately. Maybe the people inside were discussing how to deal with him.As for making a mistake, they can only blame them for their bad luck.After checking the weapons and equipment in the space, he quietly stepped up the steps in front of the house, used his right hand to gently push the door open, and stepped in.The "squeaking" sound of the wooden door opening and closing still alarmed the four people in the hall

Henry did not consider cooperating with others to snipe the McKinleys' cavalry because his fighting methods had too many secrets and were not suitable for cooperation with others.Besides, these are the targets that he wants to release with his own hands.As for telling the people on the farm in advance, there is no need.

It's not that Henry is cruel, but that those enemies who know that he acted alone must die.Because this record is too unreasonable.Although he could barely explain it, Henry first placed a few Winchester rifles with full chambers beside him.What's more, this group of people was originally going to commit extermination, and now it can only be said that retribution has arrived.After the roll call was completed, Henry walked slowly down the hill, trying to collect the body of each cavalryman he passed.If you can't collect it, shoot it in the chest, and it will immediately become able to be collected.But Henry would not actually collect the corpses of these cavalry, but would only touch the corpses one by one.Ten minutes later, the 46 cavalrymen who escaped returned to the camp where they started.Ten of them were sent directly by Sean, and they immediately returned to Dwyer Manor, two miles away.More than ten minutes later, Sean, who was in his fifties, felt that the sky was abou

When Henry returned to the police station, Pete and three other officers had already arrived. After a few people exchanged pleasantries, the mayor, William, and six other people from the committee also arrived. William praised: "Henry, you are very handsome today. This is how you should be." Henry replied with a smile: "Thank you." "Where's Ronald? It's already 9 o'clock, and he hasn't come to the police station yet?" William continued to ask. Henry immediately replied: "I don't know, I didn't see him this morning. Peter, how about you?" Peter and others also said they had not seen it. William said: "Pete, you go to Ronald's house and ask him to hurry up." Pit nodded and took the order and left. Ten minutes later, Peter returned to report that Ronald had not been found. He also went to the homes of James and the three of them, but found none, and there was no trace of those three people. William quietly discussed with the six members of the committee and decided to hold Henry

After arriving home, he closed the door, sat on the calfskin sofa in the living room and began to take stock of his gains.First, there were US dollars, which totaled 38,752 US dollars, led by Michael, the leader who provided the premonition talent, and Deputy Sheriff Ronald. The other 201 people who touched the corpses totaled almost 9,000 US dollars.Next are U.S. dollar coins, which add up to 1,376.3 U.S. dollars.In total, Henry now has 40,128.3 US dollars. If you include the 24,000 US dollars in bonuses, it will be 64,128.3 US dollars.Equivalent to the purchasing power of about 8 million U.S. dollars and about 55 million soft sister coins in time and space before time travel.As expected, a horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.There is no personal income tax these days, which is really a good time.Then there are the newly added weapons, including two Gatling guns and more than 6,000 rounds of machine gun bullets.

Nothing else mattered. Henry walked out of the gate, pulled out a quarter horse, and headed for the Pincotten headquarters building in the Loop district of the city center.Now there is about 15 cubic meters of storage space, which is almost enough.But to be safe, Henry turned into the woods by the side of the road and spent about half an hour opening three safes from the black market center and extracting their contents.Without an immediate inventory, Henry recollected the empty safe and moved on.Just over half an hour later, at 1:49 a.m., Henry arrived near his target.The Loop is a circumnavigation area with city Hall, banks, post offices, libraries, art colleges and so on.The Pinkerton headquarters building, which is about 30 meters wide and 50 meters long, is not surrounded by walls, and only has a huge stone box about 20 meters long and eight meters wide in front of the building's gate.It's similar to the New York branch that was destroyed, except the guard post here is a s

When Henry ran up to the fourth floor, he found that all but two rooms were largeOutside, the doors to the rest of the rooms are open.Henry pulled out his Sharps rifle and fired at the door locks of both rooms.After three shots each, the locks on both doors were violently shaken open. Henry ducked into one of the rooms and gathered up a large safe with a base 1.5 meters square and a height of about two meters.Henry then ran to the next room that was opened, and found that this should be Morrison's office.After tapping and hammering for a while, he opened a dark room behind the tapestries and took away a safe one meter square and about two meters high.It took Henry three or four minutes from the time he got upstairs to the time he was done. Henry opened a window facing the back yard, took out a hook and fastened it to the corner of the large, heavy oak desk in the living room, jumped out of the window and began rappelling down.Ten seconds later, Henry was safely down on the grou

Every time Henry fired two shots, he switched positions and fired two more.Three seconds later, Henry emptied three rounds of.44 bullets, knocking out all 32 guards who were not hiding."God, the devil sees us clearly!""This is the devil, God, save your people!""Black, what's the matter with you? Hold on!"In the sound of wailing, Henry pulled out of space two 5-pound TNT cartridges with a 2-second delay, activated them and threw them behind two obstacles a dozen meters away."Boom! Blow out eight guards.Henry went on to throw four more identical TNT packs, blowing up the eighteen guards who were hiding.The guards in the back yard have cleaned up pretty much, in the last minute or so since Henry came out of the warehouse and hit the back yard.About four minutes have passed since Henry walked out of the club door!As Henry searched for the fallen guards in the backyard, he kept an eye on the two stairs to the left and right of the back door.The stairs on the left side near the w

Now, in addition to the 40 or so 5-pound TNT packs, Henry only has 1,260 pounds of TNT left, which is not enough to destroy the building.Henry pushed open the oak door on the first floor of the building and entered the great hall.The right side of the first floor is separated by a square 30 meters ×30 meters warehouse, so the mission hall is only about 30 meters ×50 meters.Similar to the structure of the black market in New York, the center of the hall is a huge bar with an oval length of about 20 meters and a width of about 5 meters, and more than 100 sets of wooden tables and chairs are arranged around it, with time compartments on each side.The official entrance to the warehouse is on the right side of the outside of the building, and it is not possible to cross the hall here.It's 10:12 p.m., past peak black-market hours, so there are only 16 people sitting at a dozen tables.The whole hall was hung with twelve gas lamps, which were light enough to see, but not bright enough.

In this day and age, whether it is bootlegging or mining, or any other high-profit industry, without sufficient private force, there is nothing in the future.So Henry decided to take the first step by setting up his own detective agency.At about eight o 'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, Henry packed up all his things, climbed back up the fork of a tree some twenty metres away, and after loading all the Sharps rifles here, continued to look through the intelligence files.The dark clouds in the sky disappeared completely, and a meniscus hung over the sky, and the stars shone.Just after nine o 'clock, Henry's keen sense of hearing told him that a large number of cavalry were about to pass.He gathered up the intelligence file and took out a Sharps 1878 rifle and placed it in the fork of a tree.Ten seconds later, a line of nine knights accompanied by a hard-top two-horse carriage appeared at the corner of the path.Under the summer's starry moon, Henry's sharp gaze

If he is not on business, he usually doesn't leave the office until after 9 PM.Henry rode around a few hundred meters to observe, and then chose a thick forest of camphor trees more than seven hundred meters from the road.The view is wide and the distance is far enough that Aaron's guards, who pass by every day, should not have come this far for no reason.It's only a mile or so from Aaron's estate.Basically the only people who can walk down this path are people who live on the estates around here.Henry gathered up his horse, climbed on his hands and knees to the thick branch of a camphor tree more than twenty meters high, and fastened himself firmly to the rope.The other two branches near this tree are particularly suitable
