Chapter 35
"Ah!!!!" Madam Cui and Chun Niang were so frightened that they huddled together. Looking at the scene in front of them, their bodies went limp and they clung tightly to the door railing, unable to move.
Wen Qianxi had all his strength, so he immediately kicked over the table that was in the way and went forward to rescue Su Guoer.
Unfortunately, she was a step too slow. By the time she reacted, Su Guoer had already become a hostage in the hands of the other party.
"You! Go and take out all the silver in the store! Otherwise I will kill this young lady. I, Cui Liu, always keep my word!" Cui Liu immediately changed his appearance and looked at Wen Qianxi with vicious eyes!
Wen Qianxi also had a bad temper, and since he was a martial artist, how could he tolerate this injustice? He was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to curse, but seeing Su Guoer in his hands, she couldn't say anything. She could only grit her teeth and said coldly, "Wait! I'll go get you the silver!"
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk outside.
Cui Liu was anxious: "Hey? Why are you walking outside? Take another step forward, or I'll kill this girl!"
Wen Qianxi turned around and said, "Don't you want silver? I'll go back and get it for you. A few thousand taels, is that enough? Do you want it?"
Cui Liu cursed angrily, "Do you think I'm stupid? You're going back to call someone. How should I know if you're going to call someone or bring money? And I want the money in this store. What money are you going to get from outside?"
"Hurry up! Go and hand over all the money in this store to me. You only have one stick of incense to pay. If you can't, I will kill this young lady immediately!"
Su Guoer's lips had turned purple and her back was covered in cold sweat.
How could she have encountered something like this right from the start? Was she really that unlucky? Su Guoer, who had always considered herself lucky, began to question her own luck.
Isn't it said that the security in Bianjing City is very good? Then what does this mean for her?
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to stabilize Cui Liu: "I am the shopkeeper. I am the only one who knows where the silver is. Follow me and I will find the silver for you. I will give you all the silver I have. Will you spare my life?"
She begged bitterly.
Cui Liu obviously believed what she said and ignored Wen Qianxi. Instead, he pulled Su Guoer and asked her to tell him where the silver was.
Su Guoer: "The money is in my bedroom in the backyard, I'll get it for you right away."
Cui Liu: "Hurry up, don't try to play any tricks! Otherwise I will really kill you!" He said viciously, but the knife in his hand was still on Su Guoer's neck, refusing to relax at all.
There was no other way, Su Guoer had to take him to the bedroom in the backyard to get the silver. At this moment, nothing was more important than her life. She hoped that he would let her go after taking the silver.
But I'm afraid it's not that easy. You have to hold your life in your own hands to feel at ease.
Su Guoer was thinking about how to break free from Cui Liu's restraints, but his grip was so tight that if she wanted to break free, she would probably have to rely on the two thresholds in front.
Cui Liu was not tall enough, so when she crossed the threshold she would inevitably look down at her feet, and that was her chance to break free.
In fact, Su Guoer did the same. When Cui Liu pulled her to the threshold, she took the opportunity to say, "Be careful, there are steps under your feet." Then she took advantage of the moment when Cui Liu was distracted and threw her head back hard, making Cui Liu grin and loosen the blade in his hand. Su Guoer took the opportunity to release her strength and slide down, breaking free from Cui Liu's restraints.
Then run to the backyard!
Cui Liu: "You little bitch! How dare you plot against me? I'll make sure you die miserably!" As he spoke, he was about to pounce forward.
Seeing this, Pang Ya and Wen Qianxi immediately took action. They both hurriedly rushed to the yard, trying to subdue Cui Liu. However, no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than a sharp arrow flying from behind them. With a "whoosh", it broke through the air, passed through the running Pang Ya and Wen Qianxi, and shot straight at Cui Liu's forehead!
There was another "puff" sound, and right in front of Su Guoer, the feather arrow pierced Cui Liu's head straight. She was close to him, and the brain matter mixed with blood spurted out in front of her eyes when the head was pierced, splashing all over her face.
Su Guoer stood there without moving.
But she felt she was already dead.
——My soul has left my body.
She felt a little cold and even wanted to shiver uncontrollably. The fear that overflowed from her bones made her stomach churn. She couldn't tell whether she felt nauseous or scared.
In short, such a living person was shot through the head right in front of her eyes.
This was hard for Su Guoer to accept.
Unconsciously, she dreamed back to when she was seven years old and witnessed the scene of her father's death.
I feel even colder...
It was a chill that seeped out from the cracks in his bones.
The midday sun was scorching hot overhead, but she was unaware of it.
When Pei Yuanqi stepped into the gate, he saw Su Guoer standing in the middle of the yard from a distance. She was alone, with cold all over her body, as if she was frozen there.
To be honest, I was shocked when I first saw her like this, but... this is the path she chose.
It would be difficult for him to interfere, after all, others might not buy his story.
The subordinate following behind him revealed his identity at the right moment: "The Imperial City Division is handling the case, outsiders please stay away!"
Chunniang and Cui Niang quietly moved a little further away.
Wen Qianxi glanced at her suspiciously, but knowing that Su Guoer must have been frightened, she took two steps forward and hugged Su Guoer's shoulders. Fatty followed closely behind.
People who practice martial arts are braver than ordinary people.
This action made Pei Yuanqi, who was halfway there and wanted to go over to see Su Guoer, pause and stop there.
"Look, is that him?" he asked, changing the subject.
The subordinates behind him came forward and turned over Cui Liu's body, and saw a face pierced by a feather arrow. It was a horrible sight, but fortunately the face was not damaged and could be vaguely seen.
Tsk tsk tsk, too cruel, but the subordinate still said with good temper: "It's him, Cui Liu. He used to work in a casino, but was chased for robbery. With nowhere else to go, he fled to this restaurant. I guess he wants to make a fortune and leave Bianjing?"
Lin Zhao asked, "Sir, are we still taking this man's body back?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was: This robbery and murder case is under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, and the body of this person should be taken away by people from the Dali Temple.
But Commander Pei hadn't given any definite answer. So should he take her away or not?
Then Pei Yuanqi said, "Take him back to the Imperial City Office first."
