Chapter 33: The Second Killing

The north side of the town led to Baitou Mountain, and Zhao Lin was almost certain that the stocky man was sent by the beard.

The stocky man was very vigilant, and every time he walked a short distance, he would suddenly stop, consciously or unintentionally observing whether anyone was following him.

Zhao Lin was not sure about his tracking ability, and waited for a while before he set off to follow when the other party was about to disappear from sight.

At this time, it was noon, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and after passing through a village, there were fewer and fewer people around, and finally only Zhao Lin was left.

"Friend, what's the matter?"

The short man suddenly stopped, stared at Zhao Lin with an unkind expression, and put one palm on his waist knife as he spoke.

"What do you say? I don't understand. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes were blank, his tone was full of doubts, but his movements were as fast as lightning, and he pulled out his axe and slashed at the head of the short man.

The short man didn't expect Zhao Lin to start without saying a word, he was shocked and angry, and wanted to draw his knife to resist but it was too late, so he immediately hid sideways and continued to draw his knife.

Zhao Lin's skills were no longer what they used to be, and he didn't give him a chance to draw his knife at all, so he stepped forward and punched the short man's left ribs.

The short man had no choice but to let go of the handle of the knife and raised his hand to punch Zhao Lin.

There was a muffled thud, and the stout man flew upside down and crashed into the trunk of a large tree behind him.

Before the others landed, Zhao Lin had already chased after him and kicked him in the waist.

The short man almost lost his breath in pain, clenched his teeth to prevent himself from fainting, and suddenly felt his neck tighten, and was dragged by the collar and dragged into the cornfield by the roadside.

Zhao Lin pressed him to the ground, clasped his hands behind his back, and pressed his knees against his neck, not giving him a chance to fight back.

The short man felt a big mountain pressing on his back, and he could barely breathe, so he couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Good man spare his life!" ”

Zhao Lin said coldly: "If I ask, you answer, if you dare to deceive me, you will kill you." ”

The short man said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, ask and answer." ”

"Are you a subordinate of the Drill Mountain Leopard?"

"Yes, the big boss of my family is a diamond leopard, I don't know what the hero wants to ask?"

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "What are you buying bear bile for?" ”

The short man rolled his eyes and said, "Old father is sick......

Zhao Lin pressed down on his knees, and the short man immediately changed his words: "The big boss wants me to inquire, and I don't know why." ”

"Did anyone from other medicine halls also ask?"

"Yes......"

Zhao Lin didn't wait for him to finish, and twisted his neck.

The stocky man's eyes widened, and he breathed uncontrollably.

Zhao Lin quickly took out the money bag on his body, opened it and saw that there was an ingot of five taels of official silver, and more than three taels of scattered silver coins, and he couldn't help but feel happy on his face.

"It's better to rob and get money quickly."

As soon as this thought came to mind, it immediately alerted him.

"This time it's just a stopgap measure, and besides, the other party is a beard who does all kinds of evil, and you can't take this as a way to make money."

"Sin ...... Sin"

Zhao Lin put away the silver, threw the empty money bag on the corpse, and did not clean the scene, deliberately leaving the "illusion" of killing for money.

After doing this, Zhao Lin suddenly thought of a hidden danger.

This is Lisha Town, will the people who kill the bandits here make the Zuanshan Leopard think that the murderer is the people in Lisha Town or the surrounding areas?

"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, so they have to find a way to fool them."

Zhao Lin's brain was running rapidly, and he immediately thought of a solution to the problem: change places and kill another bandit who bought bear bile.

Killing bandits in different places can not only earn an extra amount of money, but also confuse the leopard and make him unsure of the direction.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin hurriedly rushed to Goujiao Town, thirty miles away.

Goujiao Town is ten miles northwest of Qinghe County, and the reason why it was chosen this way is because this town is in a mountain col, and the road is winding and rugged, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel.

It is impossible for the bandits to ride horses when they rush over, so that there is time, otherwise everyone will leave when they rush over.

Zhao Lin didn't run fast, but he won because of his amazing endurance, and he ran for an hour almost without slowing down and came to Goujiao Town.

"Doctor, I can't sleep well these nights, help me see what's going on?"

Zhao Lin waited for the bandits to come to the door in the medicine hall, and in order to hide people's eyes, he found an excuse to ask the doctor to see a doctor in the hall.

He had just inquired about it, and the person who bought the bear bile hadn't come yet.

"I see that your pulse is stable and strong, not like you are sick, but what are you worried about lately?"

The doctor asked after a moment.

"The doctor is really clever, and he hits it as soon as he says it." Zhao Lin replied pretendingly.

The doctor nodded, "I'll prescribe a calming prescription for you, and go back to recuperate for two days." ”

The doctor prescribed the medicine, Zhao Lin took the medicine at a high price, asked the medicine hall to help decoct the medicine, and waited in the lobby to take the medicine.

After waiting for a while, the guy brought the decoction medicine, Zhao Lin looked out the door while drinking, and thought, "It's almost dark, why hasn't the beard come yet?" ”

As he was pondering, a figure suddenly flashed at the door, and a middle-aged man in a cyan robe came in.

Zhao Lin was slightly stunned, this person had good facial features, was well-dressed, and looked like a scholar at first glance, but when he walked, his two legs bent outward to both sides, and he was a lap leg.

Not only a bandit, but also an old horse bandit who has accumulated years.

The man in the green robe acted cautiously, unlike the short and stout man who shouted to buy bear bile as soon as he entered the door, but walked directly to the counter and asked the shopkeeper in a low voice.

Zhao Lin listened for a long time and didn't hear what he was talking about, but the shopkeeper's reply made his intention clear: "There is a bear bile in the warehouse, which was harvested last summer......

Zhao Lin listened, drank all the medicine in one go, took the rest of the medicine, and walked out of the medicine hall.

It was getting dark and there were few pedestrians, so Zhao Lin concocted the same method and followed the man in the green robe out of town.

The blue-robed man quickly sensed that Zhao Lin was following him, and immediately quickened his pace.

Zhao Lin didn't pretend anymore, ran over, took out an axe and slashed at his back......

In a moment, the blue-robed man fell in a pool of blood.

One will be born, and the second will be ripe, this time Zhao Lin was quite calm in his heart.

However, to his slight disappointment, the man in the green robe did not have much money on him, and only found less than two taels of silver on his body.

This time, Zhao Lin did not leave the body in place, but dragged it to the river a few miles away and threw it into the river.

The two killings are different, I wonder what the bandits will think?

After disposing of the body, Zhao Lin returned to his original appearance.

It was getting late at this time, but considering that what happened today was too important, he decided to inform Zhou Paotou and them.

Zhao Lin rushed to Baiqiao Village by taking the path, and when he was still a few miles away from the village, he saw the fire all over the sky.

Dozens of masked men on horseback, armed with torches, surrounded the village of Baiqiao.

"Listen, everybody, come out for me......"
