America 1881: They Call Me Legend

In the Governor's Palace, the potbellied Gutierrez was pacing back and forth.

This mansion originally belonged to a Spanish governor, but since the governor evacuated, it has belonged to the Gutierrez family.

There were almost no major changes in the furnishings in the room, except that the flag hanging on the wall was changed from the Spanish Empire to the Mexican Republic, then to the Mexican Empire, then to the Second French Empire, and finally to the Mexican Federation.

republic.

Although the political power outside has changed one after another, the Gutierrez family has remained unchanged in Juarez.

In the opinion of the current head of the family, Gutierrez, it's just a bullshit song title and a matter of changing the national flag.

But now, he encountered a little problem.

The first is that the eldest son of the Romero family has returned under the banner of Diaz. This boy controls the rural cavalry and is at odds with him everywhere.

The second one is that he is over fifty years old and has no children except a spoiled daughter.

Gutierrez feels that his body and energy are not as good as before.

Back then, I peed three feet in the wind, but now I peed one shoe in the wind.

He only felt soft for a few seconds, and then he began to feel unreasonably irritated by his daughter's cries:

"Listen, Ariana, you are a member of the Gutierrez family, and then you are my daughter! On the day you get married, I don't want you to still look like this crying!"

"Who do you think it could be?" he asked.

"How did Thiago die?"

"I think this is a threat." Perez, the butler and staff member on the side, said cautiously.

"The one who was stabbed to death was in the confessional of the church, right in the cubicle next to the eldest lady's confessional."

"Um, yes, but I'm still afraid that the eldest lady will have some psychological shadow. Do you want to change the time and place?" Perez asked Gutierrez for his opinion.

Gutierrez looked at his daughter with tears welling up in her eyes and felt a little soft-hearted. He said to her sincerely:

Alvarez shook his head. He did not dare to tell Gutierrez that the young lady could not say anything but scream when she mentioned this matter.

"Ariana, your marriage to Ricardo has been decided in two weeks." He told his daughter expressionlessly.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Gutierrez suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at the officer standing in front of him, and asked.

In this city, there is another family sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. If I really fight with the Romero family and lose both sides, there is no guarantee that that family will not take advantage of it.

What he was talking about was referring to Romero's elopement with his daughter.

"How do you say that?" Gutierrez glanced at Perez.

He turned to the butler: "How are the preparations for the wedding of Ariana and that boy from the Prigo family?"

Alvarez was still in a fugue, but was pulled back from the fantasy world by his boss's voice, and he stammered:

"Besides, are you ready to fight with him in the city?" Gutierrez's sharp eyes swept over Alvarez.

"In the past two days, you have been keeping an eye on Sergio and his patrol! If they do anything rash, report it to me immediately!"

But Ariana still lay on the bed and cried loudly, the sound getting louder and louder.

The muscles in Gutierrez's cheek twitched.

The butler who was sorting out the wedding guest list on the first floor was startled by Gutierrez's roar. He quickly put down his work and ran to the second floor.

Gutierrez watched the butler and Alvarez leave the room.

But Gutierrez is different. In the words of his wife, this man has no heart.

She shook her head violently: "No, Dad, I don't want to marry him! I just want to stay with Dad!"

"Boss, otherwise I will send troops to arrest them!" the officer volunteered and said.

The wily Gutierrez shook his head:

"I don't think Sergio will fall out with us now. He is a soldier, but he is definitely not a brainless man! It is not a good idea for him to fall out with us now."

Gutierrez did not expose his daughter's little tricks, but walked up to her.

However, at this time, there was a sudden noise from the window, as if someone was having a fierce quarrel at the door of the yard.

"Oh, no, Dad! Oh! No!" Ariana burst into tears.

What a bunch of rubbish.

Gutierrez felt that the steward's words made sense.

Gutierrez gently opened the door.

"What's the noise at the door?" Gutierrez's face turned pale.

"Why was he there? Where was Ariana? Not even aware of it?"

"Well, there was another priest who was also knocked unconscious and stuffed into another cubicle." He added, "However, he said that after he walked into the confessional door, his vision went dark and everything went dark.

I no longer know."

The butler respectfully said to Gutierrez:

She threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

Ariana was startled by the sound.

She was like a frightened deer, scrambling,

As the consul passed by her, he noticed that she had stuffed something into her bra.

Gutierrez was silent, and he began to think seriously, from all aspects.

"Stop talking, I know what's going on."

Alvarez and Perez looked at each other and seemed to agree on the identity of the suspect.

"Do you think Thiago was killed directly inside, or was he killed and stuffed in?" He continued to pace in the room, muttering to himself.

"Daughter, you have grown up and can no longer be willful. I don't want the last situation to happen again."

Gutierrez's expression was cold, but his heart was extremely anxious.

She lowered her head and put her hands in front of her, not knowing what she was doing.

The consul came to the door of his daughter's room and looked into the room along the ajar door.

The girl felt like she was struck by lightning.

If he were an ordinary father, his heart would be broken if he saw his only daughter like this.

He found that the door to his daughter's room was ajar, so he walked over.

Gutierrez locked the door to the room and went down to the second floor.

"The specific details have been discussed with them. The location should be decided in two weeks..."

"Perez! Perez!"

Perez walked up to Gutierrez and whispered a name in his ear:

"Sergio Romero."

"I can make a sneak attack. When they are not paying attention, I..." Alvarez also wanted to regain some face, but was rudely interrupted by Gutierrez.

The housekeeper had to go down from the second floor to the first floor to understand the situation.

You must reach an alliance with the Prigo family as soon as possible. Only then will you be in an invincible position.

"What the murderer means is that he can touch the eldest lady at any time. This time he just wants to kill one of our dogs to show us." Perez added based on his own inference.

He gave the order to Alvarez, who was still standing in front of him:

Gutierrez frowned, not satisfied with his subordinate's reaction:

Gutierrez finally broke out. He opened the door to his daughter's room and yelled outside.

"The cathedral downtown?" Gutierrez guessed.

But this wooden door made a "creaking" sound due to its age.

His daughter was sitting on the edge of the bed, with her back to him.

The entire mansion echoed with his roar.

He looked out the window, thought for a while, and then walked out of the room.

"No, if the time doesn't change, I'll go talk to the eldest lady in two weeks." Gutierrez said decisively.

After a while, he came back: "Sir, it's the Crocodile Gang. They want their boss's body back."

"Get out! Let them get out!"

Gutierrez could no longer control his emotions. He told Perez word for word,

"If they don't disappear around my mansion within one minute, I will let Alvarez send them to the gallows one by one!"

His daughter alone was enough to worry him.

What's more, these crocodile gangs, like the chamber pots, have no leader.
