Xia Pingan stared at Xu Gui for three days with his remote viewing ability.
In these three days, Xia Pingan finally knew how Xu Gui tricked, abducted, and controlled those women who came to Shang Jing City.
Shang Jing City was a prosperous and prosperous place in the Shang Dynasty. Because of this, there were countless women with various thoughts pouring into the city from all directions almost every day.
Many women had never been to Shang Jing City before. They all heard that there were many rich and powerful families in Shang Jing City. Not only was it easy to make money in Shang Jing City, but they could also become a phoenix if they were not careful.
Those women who came to Shang Jing City alone or with one or two female companions were the targets of Xu Gui and his men.
Xu Gui's men opened a broker house in the dock area. The broker house was equivalent to an intermediary company, promising to find jobs for those who came here. Many people in the broker house were looking for targets at the dock every day. When they saw those women who came alone or with one or two companions, the people in the broker house went to talk to them and promised to find them jobs such as nannies, maids, and maids in Shang Jing City. The benefits were high, the treatment was good, and they were from rich families.
Many women who came to Shang Jing City for the first time had no other ability to make a living. What they wanted to find was this kind of ordinary job. When they heard the introduction of the broker house, they were tempted. Then the broker house tricked them to the broker house, signed a contract, trained them for a few days, and sent them to the brothels in Shang Jing City to work as maids and maids.
For most women who came to the brothels for the first time, they resisted in the beginning. But once they wanted to go back on their word, the broker house immediately took out a contract. If they did not work, they would lose money.
Many women would give in at this time, thinking that they could stay in the brothels for a while and then leave. But when women thought like this, they were finished.
The environment of the brothels was a big dye vat for women.
When a woman who worked as a maid saw that the money she earned after toiling for a month in a brothel was less than the money other women earned by lying down for a night, she would be easily dragged into the water and walk on the path of no return once she felt that it was unfair.
There were one or two stubborn women who wanted to go back on their word. The broker house would take out the contract and ask the woman to pay the money for tearing up the contract. The woman would also have to bear the debt of the loan shark. At this time, Xu Gui and his men would use a little more means, such as coercion, enticement, and intimidation. Ninety-five percent of the women would not be able to pass this second stage and would return to the brothel.
Many women committed suicide because they couldn't take it anymore.
The person in charge of the broker house was Xu Gui's subordinate, not Xu Gui himself. On the surface, Xu Gui was running a "Gui Li Firm", which dealt in raw silk, cotton cloth and tea. He didn't care about the business of the broker house at all. No matter how serious the "contract disputes" between the broker house and those women were, even if a lawsuit was filed, Xu Gui would not be involved. As for the profits of the broker house, Xu Gui would transfer them to "Gui Li Firm" through the business between the broker house and "Gui Li Firm".
Xu Gui was a black merchant who used contracts and human weaknesses to control and enslave women. He was so good at it that even the police couldn't find any evidence against him.
Over the years, Xu Gui had tricked countless women in Shang Jing City, but he had also made a profit.
This guy really deserved to die.
But it wasn't easy to kill him.
Because Xu Gui had a Summoner bodyguard that he spent a lot of money to hire.
Xu Gui's Summoner bodyguard was inseparable from Xu Gui. Wherever Xu Gui went, the Summoner would be there. Even when Xu Gui slept at night, the Summoner would sleep in the room next to Xu Gui's.
In addition to the Summoner, Xu Gui also had a few guards around him. They were also armed with live ammunition. They followed him every day to protect his safety.
It was probably because he had done too many guilty things. Xu Gui's life was cautious, for fear that someone would seek revenge on him. Even the food he ate every meal had to be tested for poison before he dared to eat it.
In this case, it was really a test to take Xu Gui's life.
It was definitely impossible to force it. The Summoner bodyguard beside Xu Gui was not to be trifled with.
The possibility of poisoning could also be ruled out.
Xu Gui usually lived in seclusion. It was really not easy to find an opportunity to make a move.
Xia Pingan finally knew why the first mission given to him by the Shadow Guards was to take Xu Gui's life. This Xu Gui's life was indeed not easy to take. The difficult part was how to kill Xu Gui without exposing himself or making contact with the Summoner.
However, after watching Xu Gui for three days, Xia Pingan also discovered a hobby of Xu Gui's, or rather, a habit.
Xu Gui liked to swim.
Every afternoon, Xu Gui would leave home or "Gui Li Business" and go to Shang Jing City to swim from a river near the sea for a while.
Xu Gui was very good at swimming. He especially liked to stand on a large rock by the river bank and dive into the river from a height of seven or eight meters.
However, every time Xu Gui went to swim, his bodyguard would clear the area and guard on both sides of the river to prevent others from approaching. The water in the river was so clear that one could see the bottom and went straight to the sea. It was not easy to poison or hide people in the river.
However, this was not a problem for Xia Pingan. After observing Xu Gui for three days, a plan to kill Xu Gui had quietly formed in Xia Pingan's mind.
On the afternoon of the fourth day after receiving this mission, the prepared Xia Pingan first went to the river where Xu Gui swam every day.
The river was in a col in the mountains. The surrounding environment was quite quiet, and there was almost no one around.
The scorching sun was shining overhead. Birds were chirping and cicadas were chirping in the mountains. The riverside was covered in green trees. Xia Pingan was more than two hundred meters upstream of the place where Xu Gui usually went into the water. He took off his clothes and went into the water first.
The river here was so clear that one could see the bottom. Standing by the river, one could look through the sparkling river and see the pebbles and fine sand in the river clearly.
After confirming that there was no one around, Xia Pingan began to act in the water.
Under the water, Xia Pingan consumed 36 points of divine power and summoned a Xuanwu.
Xuanwu was a divine beast that could control water. He was very happy and carefree in the water.
Xia Pingan took a few large stones from the bottom of the river and had Xuanwu completely freeze the water around the stones, forming a base of ice.
Ordinary ice cubes would float on the water surface, but the ice cubes with stones inside would sink into the water instead of floating on the water surface. Moreover, the ice cubes were frozen by the river water. They were crystal clear and completely transparent. When placed in the water, it was like a piece of glass placed in the water. There was nothing unusual about it at all.
After the large ice cubes were placed in the water, Xia Pingan had Xuanwu grow three chi long sharp ice spikes on the base of the ice cubes.
This time, the large ice cubes that sank into the water quietly hid under the water like the spikes in a trap. They were completely transparent. Unless one went into the water and touched them with their hands, they would not be able to see anything unusual from the shore.
After doing this, Xia Pingan carried the ice cubes down to the place where Xu Gui had jumped into the water. After making some arrangements in the water, Xia Pingan quickly swam back to the place where he had jumped into the water. He put on his clothes and waited for Xu Gui to come.
Xu Gui came as scheduled.
Xu Gui's summoner bodyguard also came.
Xu Gui's summoner bodyguard first checked the place where Xu Gui had swum. After confirming that there were no fluctuations of divine power and no one within 100 meters, he nodded to Xu Gui and retreated to one side.
After checking both sides of the river, Xu Gui's bodyguard found that everything was normal. Xu Gui, who had taken off his clothes, directly climbed onto the large stone where he had jumped into the water as usual. After stretching his limbs, he drank a mouthful of the warming wine handed to him by the woman beside him. After that, he laughed and touched his bald head. After that, he suddenly plunged into the river. Xu Gui's movements were natural and unrestrained, just like the legendary white stripe in the waves …
What Xu Gui didn't know was that there was a Dragon Slaying Platform in the clear river.
The moment Xu Gui entered the water, there was not a big splash, but the river water turned red in an instant.
Xu Gui's body was pierced by more than 10 sharp, transparent ice spikes at once. He was strung to the bottom of the river. One of the ice spikes directly pierced through Xu Gui's eye and into his brain …
"Assassin …" Xu Gui's bodyguard shouted in fright. The two women who had followed Xu Gui here were so frightened by the scene in the river that they screamed in fear.
Xu Gui's summoner bodyguard roared and pointed with his finger. A wave of water lifted Xu Gui out of the water. However, Xu Gui was not breathing ~
