Golden Summoner.

"I can only give you 1 more silver coin, 19, no more!" The middle-aged man behind the counter shook his head and put the pocket watch on the counter, "If you feel low, you can go Check out other pawnshops!"

"Okay, then 19 silver coins!" The person who was the watch said quickly.

"Bill him..." The middle-aged man took the watch to another person in his 20s next to the counter, and asked that person to give the watch to the person who was acting as the watch, and then looked at Xia Ping'an.

Xia Pingan noticed that when the shopkeeper saw him, the pupils in his eyes changed slightly. Ordinary people may not notice such a change, but for Xia Pingan, people's emotions and some mental activities, from the change of pupils is the easiest to see.

Is this shopkeeper my contact person? Looking at the pawn bargaining of the shopkeeper just now, he really got a good deal of leeks.

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer wants to be a top seller!" the boy said to the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Top-notch goods are the jargon in pawnshops. Those valuable things and special items that summoners can use are all top-notch goods.

"Got it, take the guest officer to the Xiangzi shop at the back, and I'll be right there..." said the shopkeeper behind the counter.

"Guest officer, please come with me..." the boy said, and he took Xia Pingan directly to the aisle on the side of the front hall, walked around to the back of the front hall, and came to a rather quiet room without windows .

In high-end pawnshops, sometimes in order to take care of the privacy of customers, there will be such secret rooms for private conversations and exchanges.

"Guest officer, wait a moment, our shopkeeper will be here soon!" After bringing Xia Pingan here, the boy said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he closed the door from the outside.

Xia Pingan was also waiting in the room. After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper came in from a side door in the room just now, and walked to the opposite side of Xia Pingan calmly. The eyes behind the tortoiseshell glasses went up and down again. He took a serious look at Xia Ping'an, and finally sat down on the chair next to Xia Ping'an.

"Are you... Xia Pingan?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Yes, I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Lan Wuwei. I'm the shopkeeper of the Fearless Pavilion, and also the contact person of the Shadow Guard of the Judgment Army. From now on, I will be the only one in charge of contacting you in the Shadow Guard. If there is a change of contact person, I will notify you in advance!"

Xia Pingan looked around the room, "Is it safe to talk here?"

Lan Wuwei smiled, his eyes narrowed, his beard turned up, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks split towards both sides, his smile was like a hamster who stole a walnut, cunning and greasy, "Don't worry, this room has been specially arranged The secret room, we talk inside, people outside can’t hear it, if the conversation here falls into the ears and eyes of a third person, the arrangement in this room will give a warning, and we will know immediately..."

"What are the Shadow Guards? Why haven't I heard of the Shadow Guards in the Judgment Army before?" Xia Pingan asked.

"The Shadow Guard is a secret in the Judgment Army. There are not many people who know the Shadow Guard. Even within the Judgment Army, only a few related people know the existence of the Shadow Guard. If you have not joined the Judgment Army before, it is even more impossible to know , the so-called Shadow Guard, you can understand it as the undisclosed adjudicator, the adjudicator who walks in the dark, the Shadow Guard performs the special tasks of the Judgment Army, but these tasks are confidential, not public, and do not involve Those adjudicators whose identities are disclosed, do you understand?"

Having said that, Xia Pingan understood, and he nodded. This Shadow Guard is like a plainclothes and undercover agent whose identity will not be disclosed.Of course, in terms of the nature of the Judgment Army, I am not a plainclothes and undercover agent. The function of the Judgment Army is more like a combination of Jin Yiwei and Templar Knights.

"In the Judgment Army, how many people know my identity?"

"Right now, there are only three people in the entire Great Merchants Kingdom who know your identity as the Shadow Guard. One is me, the other is Lord Baizhu who selected you to join the Shadow Guards, and the last person is Lin Yi, the Senate Bishop of the Dark God of War Sect in the Great Merchants Kingdom. My lord, Lord Lin Yi is the commander-in-chief of the Judgment Army, and at the same time holds the list of all Shadow Guard members of the Judgment Army, your mission also comes directly from Lord Lin Yi."

Xia Pingan looked at Lan Wuwei, and said straight to the point, "I'll just say it, one of the important purposes of my joining the Judgment Army is to obtain summoner training resources through the Judgment Army. I want to know what are the benefits of becoming a Shadow Guard , can you guarantee that I will continue on this path of summoner?"

"Hahahaha..." Lan Wuwei laughed loudly, squinting at Xia Pingan, "Don't worry, the resources you can enjoy as a Shadow Guard are definitely much, much more than ordinary Judgment Army, and what you can enjoy Resources are not limited to the profession of Summoner, but all-round!"

"What do you mean?"

"You will know later, no one who joins the Shadow Guard will regret it, but how many resources you can enjoy in the end depends on your ability and how much you can do!"

As Lan Wuwei said, with a movement of his hand, there was an extra photo and a document. He put the photo and document on the table and handed it to Xia Pingan, "This task is considered as one of the tasks you joined the Shadow Guard. Let's take a small test. This person is called Xu Gui. He is a local snake in the Zhonggang area of ​​Shangjing. He controls a small gang of hundreds of people. What he does the most is lure, kidnap and control women who come to Shangjing. , and then send those women to brothels to do flesh and blood business to make money for him. This man has already had the lives of several foreign women in his hands. This man will give you a practice hand. No matter what method you use, as long as you don’t let him live again. !"

Xia Pingan looked at that photo, it was a man with a bare head and a fleshy face, hugging two enchanting beauties on the left and right, on the man's bald head, there was also a green dragon tattooed on it. Non-kind.

"Wouldn't it be over for such a person to be arrested and interrogated by the police, and there is still a need to dispatch the Shadow Guard?" Xia Ping'an asked.

"This Xu Gui looks rough, but he is very cunning. The police have no evidence that he directly committed a crime, and he cannot be dealt with through normal legal procedures. In the previous several life cases, he asked his younger brother to cover the tank. He himself Stay out of the matter, so special people have to deal with it in a special way. By the way, this person also has a summoner named Lei Bai who is in the Yiyang state. That summoner is not only his bodyguard but also his military adviser. It is not easy Deal with it, it may not be so easy for you to rush directly to get his head!"

Xia Pingan took the document, took a look at it, and threw the document into his space warehouse.

"Is there a time limit for completing this task?"

"No, when you finish, you can come to me again to deal with the business, remember, under no circumstances, you must not reveal your identity as the Shadow Guard!"

Chapter 173 Xu Gui

You can really pawn rune bullets in Wuweizhai.

When Xia Pingan took out some rune bullets and said he wanted to pawn them, Lan Wuwei looked at him in surprise. He originally thought that Xia Pingan was going to leave after receiving the task, but Xia Pingan actually took out some yellow orange bullets. Orange rune bullets come.

"I just came to the capital, and I'm really short of money..." Xia Pingan said.

Lan Wuwei picked up a rune bullet and looked at it carefully, then nodded, "Your rune bullet is not bad, the rune power on the bullet is agile and smooth, it can be regarded as a high-quality rune bullet, and what solidifies on it is a fireball It is very useful when facing many low-level monsters. This bullet can also be used as an incendiary bomb. Both summoners and ordinary people can use it. This thing consumes a lot in the capital. Can it be used, did you make this thing?"

"Yes!" Xia Pingan nodded, the dungeon and island defense line mentioned by Lan Wuwei just now made his heart move. He had heard Jing Lao mention that there is an underground city underground in Shangjing City, which is suppressing the Devil's Nest, and The east of Shangjing faces the sea, and some monsters in the sea will come ashore to harass them from time to time. The Dashang Kingdom has navy and summoners guarding some islands in the east. "Shangjing's underground city and island defense line can use rune bullets?"

"Useable, there are a lot of low-level monsters in the dungeon and the sea. The military and the church will regularly supply rune bullets to the dungeon and island garrison. If you want to sell rune bullets in the future, you can go to Wuweizhai. This thing is just right. I can provide you with cover and make your coming here justifiable, and I can buy them at the market price for 17 silver coins!"

17 silver coins and one rune bullet?Xia Pingan nodded, the price was one silver coin more than what he had sold before.

In the agreed currency system of this world, gold coins and silver coins are exchanged at 50 times. One gold coin can be exchanged for 50 silver coins of standard denomination, while silver coins and copper coins are exchanged at 100 times. These days, get used to it. Xia Pingan discovered that, in terms of purchasing power, the purchasing power of gold coins in this world is still very strong. The price of a cow is about one gold coin. Many ordinary people may not be able to earn a single gold coin for their salary.

About 3 rune bullets can be exchanged for one gold coin. As long as you consume some divine power to create a few rune bullets every month, it will not be difficult to settle in Shangjing.

This is the benefit of having a skill!

"Do you usually receive boundary beads here?" Xia Pingan continued to ask. He is now very close to advancing to the Yiyang state. After coming to this world these days, Xia Pingan feels more and more that he is in this world. His strength is still too weak, and he desperately wants to obtain the Jiezhu to advance to the Yiyang realm.

"Yes!" Lan Wuwei glanced at Xia Ping'an, as if he already knew what Xia Ping'an was thinking, Lan Wuwei smiled, "Actually, you don't need to worry, as long as you kill Xu Gui, you will have the resources to advance to the Yiyang realm I usually receive some ordinary boundary beads here, the price ranges from hundreds of gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins, high-end boundary beads are generally not sold in pawnshops, and usually have special channels or deliver Auction house, if you want a boundary bead, I can keep it for you when I receive it in the future!"

"Okay, thanks!"

……

When Xia Ping'an left Wuweizhai, Xia Ping'an had a few more gold coins on his body, and his pockets bulged up a bit. Although he was still poor, at least he was no longer embarrassed.

At this moment, Xia Ping'an's head is full of Xu Gui's information.

What moved Xia Ping'an the most was Lan Wuwei's words, "As long as you kill Xu Gui, you will have the resources to advance to the Yiyang Realm..."

Xia Pingan has no doubts about the information about Xu Gui that Lan Wuwei gave him. After all, Xu Gui is just a small person who can't get on the stage in the capital. What is his background? It can be verified that the first task the Shadow Guard entrusted to him would never deceive him with false information, because this method is too low-level, too easy to be exposed, and there is no need for it at all.

It is the most basic way for superiors to employ talented people.

As for being used by others, Xia Pingan doesn't care at all, as long as that Xu Gui deserves to die, he doesn't care if he becomes a knife in the hands of others and is used by others.

If a small person wants to stand out in a place like Shangjing and grow stronger, he starts from being used by others, and even actively creates conditions to be used by others, such as joining the Judgment Army.If a person does not even have the value of being used by others, then he will never be able to succeed.

……

After leaving Bailing Lane, Xia Pingan beckoned to a carriage when he came to Qianyuan Street outside, and let the carriage go directly to Donggang.

Two hours later, the carriage arrived at Donggang. At this time, it was already noon. Xia Pingan paid the fare, got out of the car, walked through two bustling blocks, and came to a teahouse. He went up to the second floor of the teahouse and ordered Two cages of steamed stuffed buns and a little porridge, while eating to fill their stomachs, they developed their remote viewing ability.

Xia Pingan just thought about Xu Gui's appearance in his mind, and his remote viewing ability quickly locked on Xu Gui's location.

Xu Gui is not too far away from where Xia Ping'an is located, the straight-line distance is only more than 1000 meters.

In a room with "Guili Company" hanging in the port area, Xu Gui was lying on a recliner, eating grapes while listening to a man in a short black coat standing beside him and talking.

Xu Gui is exactly the same as in the photo. He is lying on a chair, his clothes are open, revealing his round belly and chest. There is a circle of black hair on his chest, like a bear. His arms and chest are full of tattoos, depicting dragons. Those who draw tigers are a little scary.

Two enchanting women in tulle knelt beside him, one pinched his leg and the other fed him grapes.

The man standing in front of Xu Gui spoke with his head down, only daring to sneak a glance at the two women beside Xu Gui.

In the room, there was another man standing behind Xu Gui. That man was wearing a purple robe, with a summoner's gold forehead ornament on his head, with a cold and proud expression on his face.

Xia Pingan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the summoner standing behind Xu Gui remained silent under his remote gaze.

For Xia Ping'an, this remote viewing was just a test. The target was not Xu Gui, but the summoner beside Xu Gui.

Although the summoner is a summoner of the Yiyang state, but he has no remote viewing ability and cannot feel his own gaze, so it is easy to handle.

Xia Pingan didn't move away from his realization. His remote viewing vision was on the roof of the room, condescending, looking at everyone in the room.

……

In "Guili Company"...

"...Master Xu, the situation is like this. Those women have been sent to Yixiangyuan and Man Tingchun after training at the tooth shop. One of them has a bit of a strong personality. I know that she is going to a brothel. That woman She even ran away from the brothel overnight, but our brothers were prepared and caught her that night, and she is now locked up in the warehouse of the dental shop..."

The man standing in front of Xu Gui was "reporting" to Xu Gui about the situation at the tooth shop.

"Hehehe, run, can you run..." Xu Gui spit out the grape seeds casually while eating grapes, and a woman beside him caught the grape seeds he spit out with her hands, "You and that woman Have you signed the dental contract?"

"Of course it was signed!"

"Don't be afraid if you sign it. The contract we signed for her is to introduce her to be a maid for others. The contract doesn't say that she can't go to a brothel to be a maid for others. She can't be picky and picky, even if that woman wants to go to court. No one else can find fault with our dental contract. If she starves her for two days and gives her a beating, if she doesn’t go, it’s just right, let her lose money, and give her interest at compound interest. Ordinary women can’t hold on for a few days. I will go there, I don't need to teach you..." Xu Gui said indifferently, not caring.

"Well, well, I understand, I understand..." The man standing in front of Xu Gui nodded and bowed.

"Mr. Lu wants some fresh and clean goods. You should pay more attention these few days. This is a big customer. Don't ruin this business for me..."

"Okay, okay, I'll explain it now, let my brothers pay more attention on the pier these days..."

Chapter 174 The Killing Trap

Xia Pingan used his remote viewing ability to stare at Xu Gui for three days.

In these three days, Xia Pingan finally knew how Xu Gui lured and trafficked the women who came to Shangjing to control them.

Shangjing City is a rich and prosperous place in the Great Merchant Kingdom. Therefore, almost every day, countless women with various ideas pour into this city from all directions.

Many women had never been here before when they came to Shangjing. They all heard that there are many rich and powerful families in Shangjing.

Those women who came to the capital by boat alone or with one or two female companions were the targets of Xu Gui and his men.

Xu Gui's subordinates opened a dental firm in the dock area, which is equivalent to an intermediary company, promising to find jobs for people who come here. There are many people in the dental firm looking for targets on the dock every day. When it came to those women who came alone or with one or two couples, the people in the tooth shop would go and talk to them, promising to find them jobs like nanny and maid in Shangjing City, with high benefits and good treatment, and they were still rich.

Many women come to the capital for the first time and have no other ability to earn a living. What they are looking for is this kind of ordinary job. A few days, and then send people to those brothels in Shangjing to do work like maids and maids.

For most women who first came to the brothel, they resisted at the beginning, but once they wanted to go back on their word, the dental clinic immediately issued a contract, and they would lose money if they didn't work.

Many women give in at this point, thinking it's a big deal to stay in the brothel for a while before leaving.And when a woman thinks this way, it's over.

The environment of a brothel is a big dye vat for women.

A woman who works as a girl and maid, sees herself working hard in a brothel from dawn to dusk to serve people. The money she earns for a month is not as much as that of other women who lie down for a night. way back.

A few of them were staunch and wanted to go back on their word. The Yaxing Bank took out the contract and demanded that the woman pay for tearing up the contract, and that woman would also be burdened with usury. Intimidation and intimidation, 90.00% of five women will not be able to pass this second level, and will return to the brothel again.

Many women committed suicide at this time because they couldn't bear it.

The person in charge of Yahang is Xu Gui's subordinate, not Xu Gui. On the surface, Xu Gui runs a "Guili Company", dealing in raw silk, cotton cloth and tea, and doesn't care about Yahang's affairs at all. No matter how troublesome the woman's "contract dispute" was, even if she filed a lawsuit, she would not be able to hit him, and Xu Gui transferred the profits of the dental firm to the "Guili firm" through the business relationship between the dental firm and the "Guili firm".

Xu Gui's set of black businessmen combined the means of using contracts and human weaknesses to control and enslave women. They played so well that the police couldn't find a reason to arrest him.

With this method, Xu Gui has cheated countless women in Shangjing City these years, but he has also made countless fortunes!

This guy really deserves to die.

But it is not easy to want him to die.

Because Xu Gui had a summoner whom he paid a lot of money to be his bodyguard.

The summoner bodyguard next to Xu Gui was inseparable from Xu Gui. Wherever Xu Gui went, the summoner would go there. Even when Xu Gui slept at night, the place where the summoner slept was next to Xu Gui's room.

In addition to the summoner, Xu Gui also had a few guards, armed with live ammunition, who followed him every day to protect his safety.

Probably because he did too many bad things in his daily life, Xu Gui lived his life carefully, for fear that someone would seek revenge on him, and even the food he ate at every meal had to be tested for poison before he dared to eat it.

In this case, if you want Xu Gui's life, it is really a test.

It is definitely not possible to force it, the summoner bodyguard next to Xu Gui is not a vegetarian.

The possibility of poisoning can also be ruled out.

Xu Gui usually lives in seclusion, so it is really not easy to find opportunities to attack.

Xia Pingan finally understood why the first task the Shadow Guard gave him was to kill Xu Gui. Xu Gui's life was indeed not easy to take. The difficulty of this matter was not to expose himself and not to contact that summoner Xu Gui can also be killed under certain circumstances.

However, after staring at Xu Gui for three days, Xia Pingan also discovered a habit of Xu Gui, or a living habit.

Xu Gui likes swimming.

Every afternoon, Xu Gui would leave his home or "Guili Company" to swim for a while in a river near the sea in Shangjing.

Xu Gui's water skills are very good, and he especially likes to stand on a big rock on the bank of the river and plunge into the river from a height of seven or eight meters.

But every time Xu Gui goes swimming, his bodyguards will clear the field and guard both sides of the river to prevent others from approaching. The water in the river is crystal clear and leads directly to the sea. It is not easy to poison and hide people in the river. .

However, Xia Ping'an was not troubled. After observing Xu Gui for three days, a plan to kill Xu Gui had quietly formed in Xia Ping'an's head.

On the afternoon of the fourth day after receiving this task, Xia Pingan, who was ready, first came to the small river where Xu Gui came to swim every day.

The small river is in a mountain depression, and the surrounding environment is quite quiet, and there are hardly any people in sight.

With the scorching sun above his head, birds singing and cicadas singing in the mountains, and green trees lining the river, Xia Pingan took off his clothes and went into the water by himself, more than 200 meters upstream from the place where Xu Gui usually went into the water.

The river here is crystal clear. Standing by the river, looking through the sparkling river, you can clearly see the pebbles and fine sand in the river.

After making sure that there was no one around, Xia Pingan started to do something in the water.
