Two Kills

The north of the town leads to Mount Paektu, and Zhao Lin is almost certain that the short and stocky man is someone sent by Beard.

The short and stocky man was very vigilant. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would stop suddenly, intentionally or unintentionally, to check whether there was anyone following behind him.

Zhao Lin was not sure about his tracking ability, so he waited for a long time, and when the other party was about to disappear from sight, he started to follow him.

It was noon, and there were not many people on the road. After passing a village, there were fewer and fewer people around, and finally only Zhao Lin was left.

"Friend, what is your background?"

The short and stocky man suddenly stopped and stared at Zhao Lin with an unfriendly expression. While speaking, he put a palm on his waist knife.

"I do not understand what you're saying."

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

The short and stocky man didn't expect Zhao Lin to attack without saying a word. He was shocked and angry. He wanted to draw his sword to resist but it was too late. He immediately ducked aside and continued to draw his sword.

Zhao Lin's skills were no longer what they used to be. He didn't give him a chance to draw his sword at all. He stepped forward and punched the short, stocky man in the left rib.

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

There was a muffled bang, and the short and sturdy man flew backwards and hit the trunk of a big tree behind him.

Before he even landed, Zhao Lin had already chased him and kicked him in the waist.

The short, stocky man almost choked out of pain. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from passing out. Suddenly, he felt his neck tighten and someone grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the cornfield by the roadside.

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

The short and stocky man felt like there was a huge mountain pressing on his back and could hardly breathe. He couldn't help but scream in pain: "Hero, spare your life!"

Zhao Lin said coldly: "If I ask a question and you answer a question, I will kill you if you dare to lie."

The short and stocky man said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, ask questions and answer questions."

"Are you a subordinate of Zuanshan Bao?"

"Yes, the boss of my family is a leopard. I wonder what the hero wants to know?"

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "Why are you buying bear bile?"

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

Zhao Lin pressed down hard with his knees, and the short and stocky man immediately changed his words and said: "The boss wants me to inquire, but I don't know the reason."

"Has anyone asked about it in other medicine halls?"

"yes……"

Zhao Lin didn't wait for him to finish speaking and broke his neck.

The short, stocky man's eyes were wide open, and he breathed his last with no eyes open.

Zhao Lin quickly took out the money bag from his body and opened it. There was an ingot of five taels of official silver and more than three taels of scattered silver. He couldn't help but feel happy on his face.

"It's better to make money faster by robbing."

The thought immediately aroused his alarm.

"This time it's just a temporary measure. Besides, the other party is a man with a beard who does all kinds of evil. We can't regard this as a way to make money."

"Sin, sin, sin..."

Zhao Lin collected the money, threw the empty money bag on the body, and did not clean the scene, deliberately leaving the "false appearance" of murder.

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

This is Lisa Town. If someone kills a bandit here, will Zhuanshan Bao think that the murderer is someone from Lisa Town or the surrounding areas?

"The rabbit won't eat the grass next to the nest, so you have to find a way to get past it."

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

By killing bandits in different places, you can not only earn more money, but also confuse the mountain leopard, making him confused about the direction.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin quickly ran towards Goujiao Town, which was thirty miles away.

Goujiao Town is located ten miles northwest of Qinghe County. The reason why it was chosen is because this town is located in a mountain valley and the roads are winding and rugged, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to travel.

It is impossible to ride a horse when the bandits rush over, so there is enough time, otherwise everyone will be gone by the time they rush over.

Zhao Lin didn't run very fast, but his endurance was amazing. He ran for an hour without slowing down and arrived at Goujiao Town.

"Doctor, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights. Can you help me find out what's going on?"

Zhao Lin waited for the bandits to come to his door in the medicine hall. In order to cover up others' deception, he found an excuse to ask the doctor sitting in the hall to treat him.

He had just asked in a roundabout way that the bear bile buyer hadn't come yet.

"I see that your pulse is stable and strong, and you don't look sick. But what's bothering you recently?"

The doctor checked his pulse for a while and asked.

"The doctor is really smart. He hits the mark as soon as he says it." Zhao Lin replied in a pretentious manner.

The doctor nodded, "I'll give you a prescription to calm your mind and calm your nerves. Go back and rest for two days."

The doctor prescribed the medicine, Zhao Lin paid for it, asked the medicine hall to help him boil the medicine, and waited in the lobby to take the medicine.

After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the fried medicine. Zhao Lin looked out the door while drinking, thinking: "It's almost dark, why hasn't the beard come yet?"

While he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly flashed at the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe came in.

Zhao Lin was slightly startled. This man had good facial features and was well-dressed. At first glance, he looked like a scholar, but when he walked, his legs were bent outwards to both sides, making him bow-legged.

Not only is he a bandit, he is also a long-time veteran horse bandit.

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

Zhao Lin listened for a long time and couldn't understand what he was saying, but the shopkeeper's answer made it clear his purpose: "There is only one bear bile in the warehouse, which was harvested last summer..."

After Zhao Lin heard this, he drank up the medicine in one breath, took the remaining medicine and walked out of the medicine hall.

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

The man in green robe quickly noticed that Zhao Lin was following him and immediately quickened his pace.

Zhao Lin stopped pretending, ran over to him, took out his ax and struck him in the back...

Within a moment, the man in green robe fell into a pool of blood.

The first time it happened, the second time it was familiar, Zhao Lin felt quite calm after killing this time.

However, what made him feel a little disappointed was that the man in green robe didn't have much money on him, and less than two taels of silver were found all over his body.

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

The two killing methods were different. I wonder what the bandits would think?

After disposing of the body, Zhao Lin returned to his true self.

It was getting late now, but considering that what happened today was too important, he decided to inform Zhou Paotou and the others.

Zhao Lin took a small road and rushed to Baiqiao Village. When he was still a few miles away from the village, he saw flames filling the sky.

Dozens of masked men riding horses and holding torches surrounded Baiqiao Village.

"Everyone, listen, come out here..."
