176 Saving the beauty
As Xia Pingan sat in the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage and headed toward the pier on Yuhong road, a few farmers that he had summoned were busy working in his secret mandala.
In the secret warehouse, other than the corpses that Xia Pingan had just placed inside, there were also some handcuffs and shackles that Xia Pingan had taken from the warehouse of the teeth shop.
Those shackles were made of iron and were very heavy. They were usually used to imprison and frighten those women. As long as those women who escaped and refused to surrender were caught by the broker, they would be shackled and locked in their own warehouse. They would be threatened, mistreated and tortured until they surrendered.
A few farmers in the secret mandala were putting handcuffs and shackles on the bodies of the corpses-returning them to their original owners.
It didn’t take long for the carriage to arrive at Yuhong road Pier. Xia Pingan got off the carriage and spent more than ten copper coins on the pier to buy a ticket for the ferry, just in time for the last ferry that night.
After a few minutes, the steam-powered ferry whistled twice at the dock. Black smoke came out of the chimney of the ferry. The steam engine on the ferry was turning noisily, driving the paddles. The obviously old ferry left the dock like an old cow, heading to the other side of the qinan River.
Water splashed on the surface of the river!
Xia Pingan sat at the stern of the ferry.
On the last ferry that night, less than one-third of the seats were taken. The ferry was full of people who had returned from Shangjing city. A few stevedores were leaning on the chairs in front of Xia Pingan. As soon as the boat set sail, they were already snoring and sleeping deeply. They were still holding half-eaten pancakes in their hands.
A few workers in overalls were sitting together tiredly, discussing in low voices that their overtime pay had been deducted again.
A police officer who had just gotten off work took off his hat and sat at the front of the ferry. He was slightly chubby, and from the back, he had a layer of white hair. The hat and collar of his police uniform were soaked with a layer of white salt.
A few of them looked like they were students studying in Shangjing.
There were two other women. One of them looked like a saleswoman in a shopping mall. She was sitting on the ferry and rubbing her numb legs. The other woman was a little beautiful. She was in her 20s and wore a Blue Coat and a beige hat. She had a delicate face and a trace of intellectual aura. She frowned slightly and looked at the river as if she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
The pleasure-boats and turreted ships on Qin an River were still full of debauchery at this moment. The lights on the pleasure-boats and turreted ships embellished the Qin an River, making it look very enchanting at night. The sound of singing and music drifted over along the river Wind, revealing a sense of intoxication.
The most high-class brothel in Shangjing was actually not in the alleys on the ground, but on the surface of the Qin an River.
He wondered how Yan duo, Jiang duo ‘er, and the others were doing.
Xia Pingan felt a little lonely at the thought of his mission in yuanqiu.
But very quickly, Xia Pingan dispelled that trace of emotion in his heart. He stretched his hand out of the ferry and touched the waves that were splashing on it.
Just like that, the cuffed corpses in the secret warehouse were silently thrown into the qinan River by Xia Pingan. With the waves stirred up by the ferry, they sank to the bottom of the river one by one, accompanied by fish and shrimp.
Qin Anhe was indeed a good place to sink corpses, especially at night. No one would notice.
He didn’t expect that he would start to do this job after just a few days in Shangjing.
Thinking of what elder Jing had said to her a few days ago, Xia Pingan laughed at herself.
More than ten minutes later, the ferry met the ferry on the other side of the river and honked at each other. After about twenty minutes, the ferry arrived at the dock opposite the Qin an River. The sleeping porters were woken up, and the people on the ferry boarded the dock one by one and left.
Outside the dock, there were some manpowered cars and horse-drawn carriages that were waiting to attract passengers to make money at night. A few night snack stalls were also set up on the roadside.
The people who got off the ferry were ready to go home, while some were still working. Few people living in this city had it easy.
It wasn’t easy for Xia Pingan either. He had been starving for a long time. Today was a day of work. From morning to night, he only ate two steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge when he went out in the morning. When he saw that there were noodles, steamed dumplings, and braised meat supper at the night stall outside the dock, the fragrance of the food came with the wind and spread under the street lights. It immediately made Xia Pingan’s stomach growl and began to protest.
In this world, what satisfied Xia ping ‘an the most was food. Everything in this world was original without any preservatives, such as earth trench, lean meat essence, ripening agent, and so on. All the food, even the street snacks, only had the authentic and rich fragrance of the food itself and the seasoning after being made, and nothing else.
Xia Pingan went to the night stall and ordered a bowl of noodles and braised meat from a small stall under the street lamp. After eating, she called for a carriage and prepared to return to her rented house.
Xia ping ‘an’s place was still a distance away from here. It was just in the suburbs, and it would take more than half an hour by carriage.
The carriage had just run on the road for a few minutes when it passed by a small alley by the side of the road. Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the carriage, saw the movement in the small alley and quickly asked the coachman to stop.
The coachman also saw the movement in the alley and heard something. There were women’s cries for help in the alley. There were many people, but there were no street lights here. The lights on both sides of the alley were dark, so he couldn’t see clearly.
Although the coachman stopped the car, he looked a little scared and hesitant. Sir, you are not the police. It’s so late. It’s better not to meddle in other people’s business. Those people are not to be trifled with. Why don’t you go to the police station and call the police? ”
“It’s too late to call the police. You don’t have to go, just wait for me there!” As Xia Pingan spoke, he walked towards the alley.
The summoner had the ability to see at night. He saw the young and beautiful woman who had been on the ferry with him earlier. She was blocked by a few rogues in the alley in front of them. The Rogues began to touch and tease her. The situation was not good, and the woman screamed in fear.
In such an environment, if he didn’t make a move, that woman would probably be in a miserable state tonight.
Before Xia ping ‘an could even reach the alley, he heard a ” drive ” sound. Xia ping’ an turned around and saw the coachman of the carriage he had been sitting on shaking the reins. He did not stay for a moment and actually drove the carriage away, not staying to wait for Xia ping ‘an at all.
F * ck!
Xia Pingan cursed under his breath and quickened his pace toward the alley.
There were four hooligans in the alley. They also noticed that Xia Pingan was walking quickly towards them. The hooligans stopped at the same time and exchanged glances.
f * ck, where did this kid come from? how dare he meddle in our business? he’s simply courting death! one of the thugs cursed. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he pulled out a bright dagger and stabbed it directly at Xia Pingan’s lower abdomen.
How could that hooligan be Xia ping ‘an’s match? seeing that the hooligan was charging towards him with a dagger, Xia ping’ an grabbed the Hooligan’s wrist and twisted it with force. The Hooligan’s wrist that was holding the dagger cracked and broke. The hooligan let out a blood-curdling scream as his face contorted. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
Xia ping ‘an caught the dagger that the gangster dropped. Without thinking, she stabbed the dagger into the gangster’s thigh. The blade of the dagger was completely gone, leaving only the handle in Xia ping’ an’s hand.
This time, the Hooligan’s face was distorted, and his eyes were protruding like a dead fish.
Xia Pingan held the dagger in one hand and looked coldly at the other hooligans with an expressionless face. The hand that was holding the dagger slowly twisted. The dagger that was stuck in the leg of the hooligan was like a key inserted into a lock. It slowly turned in the flesh, and the sharp edge of the dagger slowly turned 90 degrees in the flesh of the Hooligan’s thigh.
This was simply a cruel torture. The people around them could even hear the sound of the dagger’s blade scraping against the bones. The veins on the face of the hooligan who was caught by Xia Pingan popped out. Without saying a word, he directly fainted with white foam coming out of his mouth.
Xia Pingan didn’t say a word. With just one knife, he had stunned the few punks.
Looking at Xia Pingan’s calm expression from the beginning to the end, the hooligans knew that they had met a ruthless character who they could not afford to offend. Their expressions changed drastically, and their bodies shivered. They did not dare to rush over again and stomp on Xia Pingan.
