Chapter 460: Practically a Living Hell (2)

Chang Hong was different from Jixiang. She had once lived a life of assassinations and bloodshed. Her sense of danger was far sharper than Jixiang’s.
The owner of the stall was an assassin just like she was in the past.
“Owner, how are you selling these stuffed pies?” Zhao Chuchu asked, feigning ignorance. She walked up to the stall and said, “I did not see you here yesterday. Have you just arrived in the capital? Your pies smell wonderful.”
“A meat pie is three cents. A vegetarian pie is one cent. Which one would you like?” the owner asked with a simple smile.
A woman next to the owner squatted down, seemingly starting a fire.
Zhao Chuchu smiled gently and said, “Give me 10 of each.”
In the next moment, sparks filled her vision and two swords stabbed out at her simultaneously.
Zhao Chuchu turned her body and evaded this sudden attack. She swiftly retreated a few steps and steadied herself.
“Do you know what I hate the most?”
Her two assailants did not answer her. Instead, they stabbed at her again, their swordsmanship swift and vicious.
“The thing I hate the most is when people interrupt me when I want to eat.”
After she said that, the two assassins did not have any chance of retaliating. It turned into Zhao Chuchu dominating the fight.
In less than 10 minutes, her attackers were lying on the ground. They did not even have the strength to retaliate.
“Make me those pies!” Zhao Chuchu ordered as she seized their swords.
“Otherwise, I will cripple you.”
These two assassins never imagined that their assassination would fail and that they would be forced to carry out their cover-up job.
It was not that they did not put up a fight. Zhao Chuchu was really bizarre. She did not give them the opportunity to take their own lives or escape.
Not every assassin was so stubborn. If they could live, who would want to die?
Both of them had been pummeled by Zhao Chuchu to the point that no one could make out their original appearances. They were forced to bite the bullet and make the pies for Zhao Chuchu.
They took the opportunity to poison the stuffed pies, believing that Zhao Chuchu would not notice.
Instead, Zhao Chuchu stuffed the pies into their mouths and forced them to swallow them.
They did know how other assassins ended up after encountering Zhao Chuchu. They only knew that right now, they were probably the most aggrieved assassins.
This was practically a living hell.
“You dare play with poison in front of me? Don’t you know who I am?” Zhao Chuchu mocked. “Spit it out. Who sent you here? If you tell me, I will be generous and not kill you. However, if you remain silent, guess how many pieces of flesh I can cut from your bodies before you die? Relax, I will be very gentle.”
They trembled when they heard her say that.
They did not believe that she was joking.
Just thinking about being sliced up piece by piece was terrifying.
“We don’t know,” they answered. Their work ethic made them slightly stubborn. “If you want to kill us, just do it. Spare us the nonsense.”
“Oh, you don’t believe me, do you?” Zhao Chuchu asked.
As she smiled, she swung down her sword.
A thin piece of the man’s shoulder was sliced off, and he bled profusely.
After that, she sliced him another time.
The man cried out in pain.
The woman watched beside him, her body shivering.
“I will cut you up just like that. My strokes will be very even. Do you want to try it?” Zhao Chuchu asked as she smiled like a little devil. “I guarantee that you will not die too swiftly or painlessly.”
The man was covered in a cold sweat as well.
Zhao Chuchu also used her healing power, turning his blood into fine icicles that pierced into his wound. The man felt like dying from the pain.
“Huh? You won’t talk?”
“I will talk. I will talk. A man of average height came looking for us. His face was covered, so I did not get a good look at his appearance.”
“That’s all just nonsense.”
Zhao Chuchu slapped him so hard that he spun around on the spot.
“Of course, I know someone found you to kill me. It couldn’t have been a ghost. I am warning you. Don’t play tricks with me. Otherwise, I will kill her first.’ Zhao Chuchu pointed her sword at the woman.
“The person who came to see us was a man from the capital. His left ear is missing a corner.”
The man pointed at his earlobe.
“I really do not know anything else.”
If they had known that Zhao Chuchu would be so difficult to deal with, they would not have taken up this job, even if they were beaten to death.
Who would have thought that a physician would have such terrifying skills?
However, this person was very patient. Until now, he was still hiding in ambush.
She was their target, so they had no intention of attacking Chang Hong and Jixiang.
After Zhao Chuchu got the information she wanted, she tied the two of them up tightly and brought them to the government office.
In the end, the officials at the government office were shocked when they saw these two assassins.
After carefully identifying them for a long time, the officials determined that the two were criminals on the imperial court’s most wanted criminal list.
“Mrs. Xie, you have done a great service to the government,” said the sheriff gratefully. “The imperial court has been after these two for a very long time.. Who would have thought that they would be captured by you?”
