Rebellious Contract Beast

Shen Yi took two steps at a time and walked towards the house while shrinking his body. When he reached the door and opened it, he picked up the old witch and threw her on the blanket.

Until this time, she realized that the other party seemed to be angry, so after standing firm, He Jian Chuyun did not dare to say anything, and quickly curled up in the corner, and asked weakly: "Aren't you not angry?"

"Why am I angry?" Shen Yi asked back, while opening his mouth to pretend to smile, but his ferocious face made people think of the idiom "to get angry out of shame".

He Jian Hatsuyun shrank his neck and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Didn't I just tell you that I'm going to ravage you!"

"Then...then you can ravage me." She reached out her hand hesitantly, and was pulled out of the corner by the other party the next second.

"Hey hey old witch..."

"Shall we sleep?"

"No! I want you to laugh, laugh, why aren't you laughing?"

"I dare not laugh..." He Jianchuyun was like a little lamb, facing a big bad wolf and did not dare to resist at all.

"Cry and see?"

"Woooooooo..."

"No tears at all, it's so perfunctory."

"Then I change clothes?"

"No, let me touch your shoulder."

"Oh, be gentle then."

"Hey, I will definitely be gentle..."

"..."

After a while, Tsurumi Hatsuun sat up, tidied his messed up hair, looked at the evil beast beside him helplessly, and asked, "Are you happy now?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy, let me hug your legs." Shen Yi smiled and without waiting for the other party to refuse, he picked up her straight and well-proportioned legs and put them under his head.

"Old witch, you are so easy to bully."

"Okay, go to sleep and stop making trouble."

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, what a nice pillow."

The girl blew out the oil lamp, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Shen Yi closed his eyes, smelled the subtle fragrance on her body, and slowly fell asleep.

The night passed like this.

The next morning, He Jianchuyun changed into an inconspicuous blue dress, packed his clothes and went out through the back door.

Outside the yard, the driver Futian had been waiting for a long time.

With the opening of Luoxiangzui Liquor Factory, the daily turnover exploded. Under the arrangement of Yang Bayuan, Futian changed a carriage and became a coachman specializing in driving carriages for Tsurumi Hatsuyun.

"Miss, please, shall we go to the same place as before?"

"Ah."

After entering the carriage, she sat down and nodded in response.

"Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Futian whipped his horse whip and drove the carriage out of Zhu's house.

She pulled the curtain open a little. Along the way, when the carriage passed through a busy city, she could see a huge wooden frame being built at the intersection. There were several workers banging on it. There were similar buildings in other places. She didn't know what those wooden frames were used for.

Retracting her gaze, she asked Shen Yi in her heart, "Were those door-like shelves your idea?"

"Correct."

"What do you do?"

"That's not a door, it's called a billboard."

"billboard?"

"You will find out what they are for later, but now is not the time."

"How many of these... billboards have you built?"

"There are too many. It's expensive anyway."

"Oh." He Jianchuyun was too lazy to say anything else. Under normal circumstances, Shen Yi's ideas would have some effect and she didn't need to worry about anything. Instead, she was very curious about what Shen Yi would come up with in the end.

At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums coming from the front, and Futian in front of the carriage also said: "Miss, there are quite a few people ahead, and it seems that our carriage can't pass."

"Then please move aside."

As He Jianchuyun spoke, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned. Why did the sound of gongs and drums sound so familiar?

Shen Yi felt even more confused. The seven-day limited-time promotion for the opening of Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry had ended long ago, and the publicity team of the Zhonghu Gang had also returned and disbanded long ago. There was no publicity team parading the streets anymore.

Is there someone having a wedding outside?

"Old witch, look outside."

He Jianchuyun did as he was told and leaned his head out to glance in front of the carriage. As expected, many people appeared on both sides of the street ahead, and in the middle of the road, a group of young people in red clothes and red pants were beating gongs, drums, and dancing, and moving slowly forward. The words "Booming Business" were embroidered on their clothes.

"Where shall I go with you tonight? At the Fireworks and Silver Flowers Koi Pavilion!"

"The century-old Jinlixuan restaurant has 5,000 dishes, all delicious and beautiful!"

"The gate of Jinli Pavilion is three high! Heroes from all over the world gather here for a hundred years. Take a look. If you can come, it will bring glory to our humble home!"

"..."

Looking at the words on the banner and the slogans shouted by those young people, He Jian Chuyun was stunned, and then said in his heart: "Xuan Li, they are learning from you!"

"Tsk, you're just imitating others!" Shen Yi showed disdain.

He didn't find it strange. After all, he had expected that someone would imitate him. It was just that these people imitated him too quickly.

"How to do?"

"Never mind them. It won't be long before I give these imitators a big beating."

"What's big?"

“It’s the billboard, of course.”

"Really?" He Jianchuyun was a little suspicious.

"Let's put it this way. I've already taken the lead. You'll know when the time comes."

"..."

After waiting for the Koi Xuan publicity team to pass through the street, the carriage slowly moved forward and continued to drive towards its destination.

Soon, the carriage stopped on the small street behind the Shen Mansion.

He Jianchuyun released Shen Yi, then opened the window of the carriage and let Shen Yi get out. "Let's go back."

"Okay lady."

Futian didn't know why his young lady came here every now and then, but he didn't dare to ask too much. After receiving the order, he immediately raised the whip and controlled the carriage to continue moving forward.

On the other side, Shen Yi just got off the carriage and rushed into an alley. He came to the wall and after making sure that there was no one around, he jumped up and climbed over to the other side of the wall.

For some reason, the Shen Mansion was much busier than usual today, with voices everywhere.

After walking in the ditch for a while, he felt something strange, so he stuck his head out and took a look outside. In the martial arts training ground, except for the group of prospective company employees who were receiving training in the middle, there were people surrounding it.

These people were not curious about the content of the training for future company employees. Shen Yi observed for a while and found that some of the Tiger Gang disciples were injured. Doctors carrying boxes were running back and forth, and some of the injured Tiger Gang disciples were wrapped like dumplings.

With all the injured Tiger Gang disciples, doctors, and those responsible for taking care of them, there was really no place else for the Shen Mansion to go, so they all gathered around the martial arts training ground.

"What's going on?" Puzzlement flashed in Shen Yi's eyes. The first thing he thought of was that the Pillow Blade Society had carried out a revenge operation.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi retracted his head and continued to walk forward. When he reached the end of the ditch, he lowered his head and crawled into the tunnel.

After opening the secret compartment, he soon appeared in his "office". Four ghost soldiers were guarding the four directions of the curtain. As soon as he appeared, faint blue flames soon lit up in the ghost soldiers' empty eye sockets.

"Go and call Qu Xiangui over." Shen Yi ordered, and one of the ghost soldiers took action immediately. He took a step forward, opened the door with a clang, and went out.

After a while, the ghost soldiers who had gone out came in with Qu Xiangui.

"Boss, here I come."

"How are things going these days?"

"According to your request, all the land that needs to be purchased has been purchased, and the relationship with the City Guard Bureau has also been arranged. This is the location map, please take a look, boss." Qu Xiangui said as he handed several cross-stacked maps to the ghost soldiers next to him, who then handed the maps to Shen Yi.

After taking the map, Shen Yi slowly opened it and examined it.

There are six maps in total, each of which depicts a certain area in Jiangzhou City. Except for the southern part of the city, almost all other places are occupied. There are many circles marked on the map, and each circle represents a billboard. No matter whether it has been built or is still in the preparation stage, they are all located in the downtown area with dense traffic.

"Yes, how much money did it cost?"

"Reporting to the gang leader, although the land we bought is not large, the quantity is large, and we spent 930,000 taels of silver. In addition, we spent 400,000 taels of silver to bribe those officials, a total of more than 1.3 million taels."

"Hiss~" Shen Yi couldn't help but take a breath when he heard it, but fortunately he held it back.

He didn't speak for a long time. The money he bribed those corrupt officials was more than half of the money for buying the land. This guy is too greedy.

If I get a chance I will definitely raid the lair of those officials in the City Marquis' Mansion. I wonder how much gold I can loot out of it then?

Shen Yi thought secretly in his heart, but there was no change on the surface.

"continue."

"Yes! Gang leader." After thinking for a while, Qu Xiangui quickly said: "A few days ago, our people went to Changleli and bought a Tongtian Tower for 200,000 taels of silver. Now it has been packed up."

"Two hundred thousand taels..." Shen Yi nodded. Tongtian Tower is actually one of those super wooden buildings that are often hundreds of meters high. It is part of the wonders of the city. It cost two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy it, which is a reasonable price.

"Let's first settle some of our employees in there. Remember not to make it public. I don't want anyone to know that they are from the Tiger Gang."

"Understood, Boss."

"Also, tell those people that they are employees from now on, not gang members. They should behave in a more standardized manner and speak more politely. They should stop fighting and killing people at every turn. If they can't change their bad habits, they will forget about this job."

"Yes! I will definitely discipline them!"

"Well, that's good." Shen Yi was very satisfied with Qu Xiangui's attitude, and his eyes were briefly dazed.

He observed Qu Xiangui through the eyes of the ghost soldiers. Seeing that his eyes were shining with a light that was not there before, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention back and said jokingly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your cultivation has improved a lot, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiangui hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "It is all because of the kindness of the gang leader that I have been able to achieve such success."

"Hmph, there's no need to flatter me. This is what you deserve." Shen Yi said as he handed a box of top-grade Peiyuan Pills to the Yin soldier and asked him to give it to Qu Xiangui.

"Keep working hard, follow me, and your future journey will not be too short."

"Don't worry, boss. As long as you say the word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

There was a fiery glow in Qu Xiangui's eyes. Although he knew very little about this gang leader, he could see that the new gang leader had great ambitions.

What other people want is nothing more than power, status, and money, but what he wants is the hearts of the people!

What kind of people need something like public support?
Looking back at the history of tens of thousands of years, only the emperors who founded a country needed the support of the people.

The new gang leader is doing something big, and I am one of the participants in this big thing. How can I not be excited?
"Don't talk about the false ones. When you go out, send someone to do something."

"Just give your orders, boss."

"This is not a big deal. I want you to invite all the storytellers you can find in the city."

"Storyteller?" Shen Yi's request made Qu Xiangui look puzzled. He asked carefully, "Boss, I dare to ask, why did you invite those storytellers here?"

"The progress is too slow. I want to speed it up. I want to invite those storytellers over. Is the purpose to let them make up stories?"

"Make up a story... what story?"

"Of course it's a heroic story, but the protagonist has to be changed... Before that, you should pick out a few disciples who look more righteous, remember their names, ask about their life stories, and write them down before handing them over to the storytellers to help embellish them. In the future, the stories in the teahouse will be about how the disciples of the Tiger Gang punish evildoers and fight for the people, and how they fight against exploitation and power."

"This..." Qu Xiangui was stunned after hearing Shen Yi's words.

"If none of these stories exist... then we can talk about the brotherhood among all the Tiger Gang disciples, about their sharing of hardships, about their unyielding loyalty, and about their desire to be together. We don't ask to die in the same year or month, but we ask to be born in the same year or month!"

"I understand, Boss."

"Also, remember to show me the edited story first."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Qu Xiangui nodded and turned to go out the door. Seeing this, Shen Yi slammed the table and called him.

"and many more."

"Gang leader?"

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Shen Yi asked in a strange tone. Hearing this, Qu Xiangui immediately realized something and slapped his head and said hurriedly, "I almost forgot!"

"Boss, I do have something to report to you."

"explain."

"Last night, a group of people suddenly broke into the Black Tiger Hall's territory, smashing a lot of places and injuring many of our brothers. They are all receiving medical treatment outside now."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes. Black Tiger Hall?
The territory of this hall is very close to the west of the city. If it is someone from the Pillow Blade Society, the ones who would be in trouble should be the White Tiger Hall or the Evil Tiger Hall.

"Have you found out who did it?"

"Some brothers said that it was someone from the Love Casino who did it."

"Tell me more specifically."

"The gang behind the Lefu Casino is called the Jucai Gang. It doesn't have many disciples, so it certainly can't compare to our Zhonghu Gang. But this Jucai Gang has some relationship with the Luo family..."
