Chapter 359 Two Front Teeth
When it was almost dawn in the middle of the night, the fire in the City Emperor Temple gradually extinguished.
This is usually the most tiring time of the night.
The five killers who were hiding around the Chenghuang Temple had been lying in wait in the woods and snow all night. They were already too cold to bear it. When they saw the fire in the Chenghuang Temple, they finally came. Without saying a word, they all jumped out of the snow, holding long knives that shone with cold light, and rushed towards the City Emperor Temple at high speed.
But what surprised them was.
When they entered the Chenghuang Temple, they suddenly found that the temple was empty at this time, with only the burned out fire and white smoke rising.
"What's going on? Where are the people?" the leading killer said in surprise.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the other four killers could reply, they heard a deafening boom of spiritual energy explosion, and then the ground under their feet suddenly disappeared. It collapsed.
The five of them were unlucky enough to fall directly into the pit below.
"Rush! Pour water into the pit quickly."
While the five people were still struggling in the pit, too frightened to know what was going on, Gu Chan's loud shout suddenly sounded outside the Chenghuang Temple.
Then everyone rushed in quickly with kettles, toilets and other things to hold water, and poured the water into the pit without any explanation.
The five killers were soon soaked all over. They were all trembling with cold and desperately wanted to crawl out of the pit.
Ma Zheng was leading a few people. When he saw someone climbing up, he hit him on the head with a stick and beat him until he fell into the pit again. Gu Chan was leading the other people. Keep pouring water into the pit.
It wasn’t until the water was up to their waists that they stood in the pit shivering from the cold, unable to move. Then she waved and said, “Okay, don’t fall down, they are already frozen. No more strength."
"Huh! You guys dare to rob goods, you really think we are easy to bully," Ma Zheng said coldly.
Gu Chan said with a bad smile, "I'm afraid they are not here to rob the goods, otherwise they would just get on the carriage, drive the goods away, and why would they rush in with a knife?"
"Are they coming for you, boss?" Ma Zheng asked.
"You can find out if you just ask." Gu Chan said.
After saying that, she squatted down to the edge of the pit, stared at the five people below and asked, "Which of you is the leader?"
"Yes...yes...I..." said the killer standing in the middle.
"Who asked you to kill me?" Gu Chan asked.
The leading killer held his hands in front of his chest, trembling all over, and tightly closed his mouth without saying a word.
Gu Chan sneered and said, "Hey! You're quite tough! Come on, everyone, move aside and don't block the door. The cold wind outside is blowing hard now, so let the wind blow in and freeze them. Freeze.”
The people blocking the door immediately stepped aside.
"Huhuhu..."
The cold wind outside blew in, and the water in the pit slowly began to freeze.
The leading killer couldn't bear the cold anymore and hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "Shopkeeper Gu, spare... spare our lives... We are also... entrusted by others... to take people's money... and... To eliminate the disaster..."
"Who asked you to kill me?" Gu Chan shouted angrily. "It's...it's Zheng...Zheng Shixian..." the lead killer said.
Gu Chan clenched her fists angrily, wanting to tear this bitch into pieces.
When she dismissed him from office, she didn't even beat him, so she allowed him to lead his family and leave safely. Unexpectedly, this bitch was so ignorant that he dared to hire a killer to kill her.
Let alone her, who else wouldn’t be angry!
The leading killer asked in a trembling voice, "Shopkeeper Gu...I...I don't understand...when did you discover us...and when did you dig this hole..."
"Nonsense, when you came out of the inn and followed us all the way here, we had already discovered you. Just to confuse you, we pretended that nothing happened and slept in the Chenghuang Temple until you relaxed. Be careful, we will slowly start digging holes and melting the snow," Gu Chan said with a livid face.
The leading killer raised his fists in admiration and saluted Gu Chan tremblingly, "As expected of Shopkeeper Gu, we...are completely convinced..."
"We are convinced, yes. "Okay! If you want me to spare you, I can also give you money. You can go back to the inn now and help me beat Zheng Shi first, and then knock off his two front teeth." Gu Chan said with an idea.
The leading killer hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Gu, we don't dare! The Zheng family is very powerful in the Central Plains. If we touch Zheng Shixian, we will definitely be dead after that. Instead of dying, we might as well stay here It's good to freeze in this pit. Then there will be at least a reason for the assassination mission to fail."
"That makes sense, okay! You can continue to freeze in the pit and I'll let others take care of it! That bitch can help you save your life." Gu Chan said with a bad smile.
After saying that, she led everyone out directly.
The five killers quickly thanked Gu Chan, and then no one dared to climb out of the pit. They all stayed in the pit obediently, and soon passed out from the cold wind. It's as funny as five popsicles in the pit.
Gu Chan ignored them and said directly to Cheng Hao, "Do you dare to beat Zheng Shi first and then knock out his two front teeth?"
"This Why don't you dare? I was already unhappy with him when he was the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City. Now that he is no longer the county magistrate, I want to beat him up," Cheng Hao said with a strange smile.
"Okay, then you go to the inn and beat him up, and just bring me back his two front teeth." Gu Chan waved his hand and ordered.
Cheng Hao rushed towards the inn without saying a word.
Gu Chanze got into the carriage with everyone and sat waiting.
After dawn.
Just when Gu Chan was impatient to wait, Cheng Hao finally came back with blood on his hands. When he came to the carriage, he immediately took out the two bloody front teeth and handed them to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan took out a small sachet with a look of disgust on her face and asked Cheng Hao to put the two front teeth in it, and then everyone set off and continued on their way.
Ma Zheng was sitting in the carriage, looking at the sachet with his front teeth in Gu Chan's hand, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Boss, why do you want him to put his two front teeth in?"
"Dang Trophy! Don't look at these two front teeth. They look useless now. They may come in handy one day. I'll give you this sachet now. You can keep it for me. When it comes to use, you Give it to me again." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Even though she said it so seriously, in fact, she just thought it was fun.
Think about Zheng Shixian’s expression when he woke up and found that his two front teeth were missing!
Ma Zhengze believed it to be true, and actually put the sachet in his pocket carefully, for fear that if he lost it, he would not be able to take it out when Gu Chan asked him for it in the future!
