Chapter 569 Tracking on Rainy Night

Just as the villagers tied the masked man with ropes, Tan Zong had already arrived at the pier outside the village, carrying a sack on his shoulders. In the sack was a big dog he had caught from the village, tied his limbs and mouth, and struggled constantly, looking like a person moving inside.

There were many fishing boats parked on the pier. When Tan Zong was thinking about how to find the boat that the one-eyed masked man said, a masked man came out of the cabin of a fishing boat with a knife and waved at him.

Seeing this, Tan Zong knew that the ship was his target, so he walked over quietly.

"Do you kid have kidney deficiency? Why did you come out so soon?" The masked man holding a knife thought Tan Zong was his accomplice, and greeted him with a smile, his tone was full of ambiguity, "It's still that girl who is strong enough that you can't stand it?"

"You'll know if you go and try it." Tan Zong lowered his Yinliang and answered quietly.

"Look at the guy inside, I'll try the taste of that girl." Since Tan Zong's hat and straw raincoat were exactly the same as the masked man carrying a knife, the masked man carrying a knife did not see the flaws, nor did he hear the difference in Tan Zong's accent. He waved his head at the boatman standing on the deck of the fishing boat behind him, inserted the knife back to the scabbard at his waist, and said to Tan Zong who was walking towards him.

"Go to hell and try it." Tan Zong quickly walked to the masked man, raised his head and said coldly.

"Who are you?" The masked man was shocked when he heard this. When he saw Tan Zong with a masked face, he immediately found that this person was not his accomplice. He quickly reached out to touch the hilt of the knife around his waist and asked loudly.

"The person who sent you to hell." Tan Zong did not wait for the masked man to touch the hilt of the knife, and brushed the knife from his waist and waved it to him, then inserted the knife back into the scabbard, ignored the masked man and walked straight past him.

The masked man's hand had fallen on the hilt of the knife. He just felt a little blurred before his eyes, and he didn't feel anything unusual. When he was surprised why Tan Zong let him go, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his neck. Then he covered his throat with both hands and opened his mouth, unable to make any sound. Then he looked painful on his face, and blood oozed out along his fingers.

It turned out that Tan Zong's knife just now cut his throat.

When Tan Zong walked to the edge of the fishing boat, the masked man knelt on the ground with his legs bent, his hands tightly covering his throat, and his body trembled constantly, looking extremely painful.

"Uncle, please spare the young ones. The young ones have old ones and young ones, and they all rely on the young ones to support them." The boatman witnessed the scene that happened before. After Tan Zong got on the boat, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to him constantly.

"I won't kill you, send me to Buffalo Town." Tan Zong didn't look at the boatman, and said in a hoarse voice, and quickly walked into the cabin.

Hearing this, the boatman reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. At this time, the masked man kneeling there tilted his body and fell to the ground motionlessly. He glanced at the masked man in horror, and quickly rowed a boat to send Tan Zong to Shui Buffalo Town, and soon disappeared into the thick rain curtain.

Shortly after the fishing boat left, a group of villagers holding harpoons and sticks surrounded Xiaomei, who looked anxious, and wanted to stop the masked man who attacked the village, but was one step too late. In addition to the masked man who died on the ground, there were no trace of the fishing boats on the pier.

"Miss Xiaomei, what should I do now?" A middle-aged man came to Xiaomei, who was staring blankly at the vast rain on the water, and asked in a deep voice. He was the village chief of this village, and his son was a small leader among the bandits in Dongting Lake.

"Send someone to Junshan to report the news immediately." Xiaomei was in a state of confusion and said to the village chief in a sweet voice. If something happened to Lian'er, she would not be able to explain to You Wuniang, and even Tan Zong was gone. This was a huge thing.

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately waved his hand to a man in his thirties beside him, shouted him over and whispered a few times. The man drove on a fishing boat and hurried towards Junshan.

Afterwards, Lian'er led the villagers back to the village in a hurry to ask about the whereabouts of Lian'er, the one-eyed dragon masked man. The one-eyed dragon masked man knew that he could not escape death this time, so he simply made up his mind and lay on the ground to pretend to be dead, allowing the villagers to beat and scold him, and never spoke.

Shuibiao Town is located on the south bank of Dongting Lake and is under the jurisdiction of Yueyang City. It is five or six miles away from the path where Tan Zong is located. There are all waterways. If the boatman who is not the boatman who is a local, and is familiar with the conditions on the water, it is easy to get lost if he sails on a rainy day.

Tan Zong sat in the cabin, concentrating on what happened tonight. It was obvious that the person behind the hijacking Lian'er had a grudge against the bandits in Dongting Lake. How should he deal with this matter? Should he use the person behind the scenes to deal with the bandits in Dongting Lake and then profit from it?

"Big... uncle, Shui Buffalo Town is here..." Just as Tan Zong was in deep thought, the boatman lifted the curtain and stammered, looking terrified.

Only then did Tan Zong realize that he had arrived in Shuibiao Town without realizing it. He walked off the fishing boat with a sack. After walking a few steps, he took out a ingot of five taels of silver from his arms and threw it to the boatman standing on the bow deck. He said in a hoarse voice, "This is the ship's supply."

Then, under the boatman's stunned gaze, Tan Zong carried the sack and left.

In order to avoid being suspected, Tan Zong killed the dog in the sack, then stuffed a stone into the sack, and threw it into Dongting Lake. If this came, no one knew that the sack was filled with the dog. Afterwards, he compensated the dog owner ten taels of silver and settled the matter.

Such a big thing happened on the island, and the incident of throwing the dog did not attract people's attention. In the eyes of the villagers, the dog must have been killed by those masked people.

Tan Zong walked around the street and soon found Chen Ji's grocery store, so he hid in the shadow of the corner of the nearby street, staring at the movements in the grocery store.

Not long after, the gate of the grocery store opened, a carriage drove out of it and disappeared from the distance of the street. Then a group of masked men rushed out of the gate and separated into several groups, seemingly trying to escape.

Five masked men happened to choose to leave the street where Tan Zong was hiding. Due to heavy rain, they did not notice Tan Zong in the shadows and ran straight ahead of Tan Zong, so Tan Zong quietly followed them.

After leaving the town, five masked men ran along the road. Tan Zong approached the masked man running at the end, covered his mouth from behind, and tried his best with both hands. With a crisp sound, the masked man broke his neck. The masked man died before he even shouted.

After Tan Zong put the body of the masked man on the ground, he ran a few steps and followed the masked man in front. He followed them to a nearby village and climbed over the wall and entered an ordinary villager's home.

The villagers were not surprised by the appearance of the masked man and others. They arranged the five masked man in the west room in a yard and brought a few bags of clothes for them to change.

"Go to rest quickly, I will rush to Yueyang City tomorrow." After the head of the household left, a thick masked man said to the masked man in the room while taking the hat on his head.

"Where is going to Yueyang City?" Tan Zong heard this, covered his face with a hat, and asked the stout masked man with a hoarse voice. It seemed that this person was the leader of these five people.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." The sturdy masked man frowned slightly when he heard this and said to Tan Zong. Then he realized something and looked at Tan Zong with surprise and asked, "What's wrong with your throat?"

"I've suffered a cold!" Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this, replied in a hoarse voice, raised his head and looked at the thick masked man.

"You..." After seeing Tan Zong's eyes clearly, the sturdy masked man was shocked. He was shocked to find that the person who appeared in front of him was a stranger he had never seen before. When he left Chen Ji's grocery store, he clearly remembered that all his four subordinates were there, and now he changed one without any clarity.

"Where are you going to gather in Yueyang City?" Before the masked man in the room could react, Tan Zong pulled out his knife and cleanly formed the three masked men beside him. Then he pointed at the thick masked man with a bloody knife and said expressionlessly.

"If you want to know, first ask if the knife in my hand agrees or not." The thick masked man gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife from his waist. Judging from the previous method of Tan Zong killing the three masked men, this man's skills must be above him.

"How about we make a deal?" Tan Zong had no intention of taking action. He inserted the knife back into the scabbard, looked at the masked man with a nervous expression and said, "Tell me where you gather in Yueyang City, I will let you go, and then you will fly away and leave here."

"Will you really let me go?" The sturdy masked man hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Tan Zong suspiciously. Since he could survive, he certainly didn't want to die.

"You can't believe me." Tan Zong stared at the thick masked man and said coldly.

"We are waiting for news in Donglai Inn in Yueyang City." The sturdy masked man looked at the three men lying in a pool of blood on the ground and said to Tan Zong in a deep voice. At this moment, he had no choice. If he didn't tell Tan Zong, he would definitely die. If he told Tan Zong, what he might have left a life.

"How do you contact me?" Tan Zong couldn't help but smile that was not easy to detect, and he asked calmly. It seemed that there were really few people in the world who were not afraid of death.

"Use a code." The stout masked man looked at Tan Zong and said, "When Boss Zhang found the inn, he would notify us if there was any news."

"Do you know the identities of other people who hired you?" Tan Zong nodded after hearing this, and then asked. He had asked the one-eyed dragon masked man on the island. The one-eyed dragon masked man was employed by the one who carried Lian'er away. Except for the men he brought, he had no idea who the other people were.

"I don't know, we got together half a month ago. We usually stayed apart and only got together when we had a task. We are forbidden to inquire about others in private." The sturdy masked man said the same as the one-eyed masked man, and he didn't know the identity of the man who carried Lian'er away.

"You go." Seeing that Tan Zong couldn't ask anything from the thick masked man, he waved his hand at him and stood there and concentrating and contemplating.

Seeing this, the sturdy masked man walked over to Tan Zong with a knife and carefully. Tan Zong stood there motionlessly, not paying attention to him at all, as if he was thinking about something.

After walking past Tan Zong with fear, seeing that Tan Zong had no intention of making things difficult for him, the sturdy masked man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to open the closed door, but his heart moved and turned his head to look at Tan Zong. Tan Zong was still standing there with his back to him, ignoring his departure.

"Boy, since you are looking for death, then it's no wonder that I'm not a big man." Seeing that Tan Zong was carelessly exposing his back to him, the thick masked man couldn't help but flash his eyes, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He subconsciously held the knife in his hand tightly. If he attacked Tan Zong now, he would definitely kill him. In this way, he would not only avenge the humiliation tonight, but also seek credit from his employer and get a large sum of silver. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

Then, the sturdy masked man swung the knife in his hand, used all his strength, and slashed at Tan Zong's head.

Seeing that the blade was about to be chopped on Tan Zong's head, Tan Zong suddenly turned outward and quickly avoided the knife from the thick masked man. Then he turned around and pulled out the knife and inserted it into his heart as the thick masked man looked at him in shock.

"I have given you a chance, you don't know how to cherish it." Tan Zong looked at his masked man with horror, and coldly pulled the knife back from his heart.

"You...you are leaving me...the flaws left for me!" The sturdy masked man took a few steps back, leaned on the door, looked at his bloody chest, and said to Tan Zong in surprise.

"You only understand now, don't you think it's too late?" Tan Zong smiled slightly and inserted the knife back into the scabbard. Because the sturdy masked man had seen his eyes, he didn't want to let the masked man go for safety, so he left a flaw. Unexpectedly, this guy was fooled and wanted to kill him.

When the thick masked man heard this, a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and his body slowly fell to the ground, his eyes widening, looking like he was dying with his eyes open.

Tan Zong stretched out his feet and pushed open the body of the thick masked man, opened the door and walked out with great strides. He now wants to go back to Chen Ji Grocery Store to verify what the masked man said. The one-eyed dragon-masked man who died on the island must not know the next plan. The owner of the grocery store should issue the next order to see if it is consistent with the thick masked man.

However, before going to Shuibiao Town, Tan Zong had one more thing to do. He knocked on the door of the owner, threatened the owner's family and kidnapped the owner. If the owner's family exposed the murder of the four masked men, then he would not think about seeing the owner again. As for the four masked men who were killed, someone would naturally deal with it in two days, so that they would not have to worry.
