Chapter 173 Subduing the Thief
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but no one responded.
The square-faced man said angrily, "Well, you guys have guts! You all want to be saints, right? I'll make your wish come true."
After saying this, he poured out a pill of antidote, crushed it with his fingers, sprinkled it on the ground and then crushed it with his feet.
"Now, there is one more dead person among you. Hahaha." The square-faced man said with a proud smile.
Seeing this, everyone gritted their teeth and stared fiercely at the square-faced man.
At this time, a middle-aged man, still in a tied-up position, knelt and moved out of the crowd and said, "Sir, I'll do whatever you want!"
When everyone heard this, they all showed angry expressions towards the man.
His wife angrily scolded, "Liu Laoer, you are nothing. You are an ungrateful villain. You are not worthy of being a human being."
"brute!"
"How could such a person be allowed to survive!"
"This Liu Lao Er is really good at pretending. He always acts like he is grateful to the Gu family, but I didn't expect him to be the first one to attack the Gu family."
"Bah, you beast!"
"Liu Laoer, come back to me. How could you do this to the young master of the Gu family? Don't forget that you will be a father soon. It is because of the help of the Gu family that we have the life we have now. Do you want to ruin your life?" Liu Laoer's wife cried.
The square-faced man became extremely impatient after hearing this and was about to go up and hit the man.
Liu Laoer leaned over to stop her and said, "Please spare me, sir! Please spare me, sir! This stupid woman knows nothing. I only operated on the Gu family to give her and her mother a chance to survive. Please understand, sir, please understand. I will satisfy you in a moment."
Liu Laoer lay on the ground, trying to raise his head, and said with a flattering smile.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. Wait, if I'm unhappy, I'll kill you and your wife together." The square-faced man threatened viciously.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely make you satisfied." Liu Laoer said flatteringly.
The square-faced man untied Liu Laoer with satisfaction. He then said to the crowd, "Anyone who wants to turn from darkness to light can come forward. I have plenty of time. If you die from the poison, there will be no way to save you."
But no one stood up. The square-faced man looked angrily at the thin and long-faced man.
He leaned in and whispered, "Brother, why are these people so indifferent? Are we going to kill them all? Then there will be no one to work."
The thin-faced man gave him a soothing look and said, "These people won't cry until they see the coffin. They will wake up when they see the blood."
"Okay, then I'll let them see blood. When Liu Lao Er kills the kid from the Gu family, I'll reward him with an antidote. If he kills the girl from the Gu family, I'll reward him with another one. I'm not afraid that no one will respond."
The square-faced man glanced at Gu Fu's face and said with regret, "It's a pity for the girl from the Gu family. She has a beautiful appearance, but it's a pity that she is too young."
"Once we take over the valley, will we still be short of women? It's important to do business. We must fight quickly and make a quick decision, otherwise something unexpected will happen." The thin-faced man urged.
"Okay! Look at me."
The square-faced man said this and walked up to Liu Laoer, who nodded and bowed with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, what do you say we should do now?"
The square-faced man handed the knife in his hand to Liu Laoer, "Did you see that guy? If you kill him with one knife, I will reward you with an antidote. And if you kill that little girl, I will reward you with another one."
Liu Lao Er showed an excited and surprised expression, his eyes wide open, and smiled flatteringly: "My lord, just wait and see, I will definitely do it for you! But my lord, I have never used a knife before, why don't you stand behind me and give me courage. I will block you in front and make sure you don't get splashed with blood."
The square-faced man was comforted by the compliment and said as if it was a gift, "Okay, I'll follow you. Let's go and make quick work of it."
"Yes."
The two of them walked towards Gu Kang step by step.
Gu Fu was also paying close attention to the two's movements, mobilizing his mental strength, ready to wrap up Gu Kang at any time.
Song Renjing was also keeping a close eye on Liu Laoer's movements. Based on his guess about the Gu family, the Gu family would definitely not fall into the trap so easily.
Moreover, the square-faced man said that the soup was poisonous. He also drank the soup and tried to circulate his internal energy, but there was no sign of poisoning.
But old man looked really weak, and everyone looked frightened and distressed.
He couldn't tell whether the poison was real or fake, so he could only be ready to break the rope at any time, jump out and kill the thief.
Gu Dahe and Wen Shi knelt on either side of their son, ready to block the knife for him at any time.
When he was only two steps away from Gu Kang, Liu Laoer suddenly raised his knife, turned around quickly, and chopped forward.
The square-faced man following behind was not careful and was nearly cut by the knife. Fortunately, he was agile and reacted quickly. He dodged and only had his clothes cut by the wind from the knife.
This change happened so quickly that everyone was stunned for a moment.
The square-faced man was the most shocked and annoyed.
Unexpectedly, this man who was as flattering as a dog was actually pretending. "You dare to play tricks on me, you are simply courting death."
Liu Laoer raised his knife and said to the square-faced man and others, "During the disaster in Weng County, my parents and two children died. It was the Gu family who helped carry their bodies out and buried them. I will never forget this kindness. If you want to kill the Gu family, I will never let you do so even if I die."
The Gu family was deeply moved when they saw the man standing in front of their family.
Although the man looked calm, his shaking legs betrayed him.
"Liu Laoer, you are very good. My Gu family will not treat you unfairly." Old Master Gu said.
Everyone looked at Mr. Gu, only to see that he had been untied at some point and was moving his wrists which were numb from the ropes.
The ropes of the other members of the Gu family were also automatically untied at a speed visible to the naked eye. Next came everyone else's.
The square-faced man and the others, as well as the people who were tied up, saw such an unimaginable scene, and they all rubbed their eyes and blinked continuously to make sure they were not seeing things wrong.
Before they could accept the fact, they saw the ropes, as if alive, floating towards the square-faced man and his companions.
Like a snake, they were circled together, gathered together, and then tied up from top to bottom, with only their heads left outside.
During the whole process, the six people including the square-faced man were so scared that they kept screaming, "Ghost! Ghost! You are not human, you are monsters!"
Some timid ones were so scared that they wet their pants.
Gu Fu pouted with a look of disgust, and Song Renjing, who was standing by, immediately covered his eyes.
Everyone saw a riot being resolved by the Gu family in a short time. Everyone was either shocked, relieved, or secretly thought it was a good thing. What was more consistent was that everyone was full of doubts.
However, this is not the time to explain.
The square-faced man was still struggling at this time. "Don't be complacent. Don't forget that you are all poisoned. I am the only one who has the antidote. If you let me go, I will forgive you and I can give you the antidote."
After hearing this, the Gu family members sneered and said, "Kitchen lady, tell everyone what happened when you were making soup." Wen said.
