The small conflict that just happened in the county seat was quickly quelled with the appearance of the magistrate.
However, many people still ran out of the house after hearing the gunshots to watch the excitement, and witnessed everything that happened afterwards.
Zhang Heng's initial goal has been achieved, and no one dares to pick trouble when he walks on the street again, but on the other hand, he has also successfully entered the list of unwelcome people in Lincoln County.
The way the sheriff stared at him said it all.
In fact, the attitude of the people in the town towards him has not changed substantially, but they have become more vigilant. Wherever he and Carrot passed, the women pulled their children into the house one after another, while the men stopped. , showing tension and hostility.
Zhang Heng found a bar, bought some fodder and beans for the radish, and rewarded it for its hard work in the past few days, and he himself ordered a glass of dark beer recommended by the bailiff, plus the staple food of steak and fried eggs , While eating, he thought about his situation and his next move.
He has already found Lincoln County, but the environment here is a little more severe than he imagined.
He is probably second only to Indians in unpopularity here, and even ahead of scoundrels and hooligans.
Zhang Heng couldn't even be sure whether the chef had spat in his steak when he was cooking it for himself, and he spent $3 of the $49 he scavenged from Rich's gang, and now he has $46 left. It costs about one dollar a day to stay in a hotel and eat. In other words, the money is only enough for him for one and a half months.
This is still a situation where he does everything, so as usual, this time the dungeon still requires him to find a way to make money.
As a result, Zhang Heng kind of missed the forty kilograms of gold.
In addition, he didn't know what kind of standard the so-called settlement in the main mission implied. Does it mean to have a fixed residence here, or to live here for a certain period of time? Or they can live forever, but the first two items are easy to handle. If they want to live forever, they have to buy property.
But it doesn't make sense to think about things so far away now. After lunch, Zhang Heng decided to go to the police station in the town for a walk.
There are actually quite a few jobs he can do, but considering his current friendliness in the town, there are not many options left for him.
Among them, the job that brings in the fastest money and does not require the cooperation of other people is the reward.
The poor manpower reserve of the police can hardly cope with the vast and complex environment in the west. In many towns, there are only one or two law enforcement officers, and sometimes they even have to face enemies that are several times their own. They not only maintain local law and order, but also serve as judges It is almost difficult to get out of town and leave the town during the trial of the case.
Even with the addition of the manpower gap in the judicial police, there is still a huge gap.
This is also the reason why the law and order in the west is so poor. Once someone commits a crime in one place, as long as they hide their names and find a random place, it is difficult for the police to keep chasing after them.
And so the profession of bounty hunter was born.
The police offer rewards of varying prices according to the degree of danger of different criminals and the size of the crime, and the bounty hunters hunt down the fugitives on their behalf.
This is a profession that only the brave and adventurers dare to engage in. Zhang Heng has never doubted his combat effectiveness, but when he came outside the police station and looked at the reward list in front of the door, he knew that he still thought about it. It's a little simpler.
Those fugitives with relatively low rewards were excluded by Zhang Heng at the first time, because although the danger of hunting these people is relatively small, the benefits obtained are not directly proportional to the sacrifices, especially for a novice like Zhang Heng. , he doubted that the money he earned in this round hadn't been spent on the road.
And many of those guys with relatively large amounts of money are not acting alone. Zhang Heng doesn't particularly care about this, but they are more mobile and their whereabouts are secretive. The man who drove it, this time the dungeon did encounter some troubles on the vehicle.
Although he and Radish had a tacit understanding and got along happily on the way here, Zhang Heng knew very well that whether it was his own riding skills or the four-dimensional attributes of Radish, a white-board trumpet, they were still far from the average level of this era. Not a small gap, let alone those powerful guys.
Moreover, Zhang Heng's marksmanship is that the radish does not move, or it can exert its full power when dismounting. Once the radish runs, his accuracy will drop a lot.
To sum up, the money on the reward looks very attractive, but it is not easy for Zhang Heng, and he also has a disadvantage, that is, he is not familiar with the surrounding towns, and he may go a lot of wrong ways. Of course, his reasoning Analytical ability and combat effectiveness are also not possessed by many people.
Zhang Heng felt that this could be done, but he needed to spend some thought on selecting the target.
Just as he was standing outside the door looking at the reward, the alcoholic sheriff who had dealt with him not long ago also saw him, and walked out of the house with his stomach full, "Boy, let's talk about ugly things first, in Lincoln When you were in the county, you'd better be honest, I've seen a lot of young people like you who thought that they would be defiant after learning a little marksmanship, do you know what happened to them?"
"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Back then, I could knock down five people with one gun." The sheriff made a handsome shooting gesture while exhaling alcohol from his nostrils, but the next moment his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was someone beside him to help him at this time, and someone urged, "Sheriff, it's time, everyone is waiting for you."
"Do I have to go, Jameson?" The sheriff was immersed in the glory of the past, and was interrupted by someone to mutter dissatisfied.
"I'm afraid that's the case. In Lincoln County, you are the embodiment of the law and the killer of criminals. I'm sure you need to show up to deter Xiao Xiao on this occasion. Besides, you also need to read the final judgment." When it comes to deter Xiao Xiao The visitor glanced at Zhang Heng intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well, those lawless guys must know how powerful the law is." The drunk sheriff nodded, but instead of leaving with Jameson, he turned around and returned to the police station.
"Uh... are you going in the wrong direction, Sheriff?"
"Damn, am I such a waste in your eyes, Jameson, I'm going to get the bottle of wine that I didn't finish." The sheriff replied cursingly, and he walked back to his table unsteadily. In front of him, he took the wine bottle on it, picked up his hat, and then walked out slowly.
At this time, Zhang Heng also noticed the crowd gathered in the officialdom not far away, as well as the tall wooden platform in the center.
