Rebellious Contract Beast

“Is… is this the case?”

After listening to what Shen Yi said, Qu Xiangui was a little stunned. Having worked for this gang leader for such a long time, he had completely rejected the speculation that the other party was also a member of the Zhu family. But what he said now made him start to doubt again.

How does the gang leader know so much about the Zhu family’s eldest son?

Do you even know that the monthly payment will be halved?

"Just do as I say. Although the influence of the Zhu family mistress in the Zhu family is gradually decreasing, Zhu Yanhan is on the list of Dahong geniuses and has a contract with a Class B upper-grade life god. Unless Zhu Jianqing is kicked in the head by a donkey, he will not give up on him easily. As long as nothing happens to him, the Zhu family mistress will not give up her position."

"Besides that, in terms of the right to speak in the Zhu family, how can a Zhu Yixuan compare with a legitimate son of the Zhu family? And the most important point is that Zhu Yanhan is easier to be controlled than Zhu Yixuan."

Qu Xiangui's eyes lit up. Is he easy to control, or is he the legitimate son of the Zhu family?
This person is perfect!

"Boss, I understand, but where does this Master Zhu Yanhan live?"

"The Zhu family mansion, the courtyard he lives in seems to be called Liu'anchun. Take someone in to look for him. Don't forget to bring gifts before you do that. Hmm? How much silver is left in the treasury?"

"Not much left, only about 900,000 taels left."

"Hiss~" Shen Yi took a deep breath without being noticed. At the beginning, there were more than four million taels of silver in the warehouse. In just over a month, so much money was spent.

Fortunately, it’s not my own money…

Shen Yi comforted himself in this way. After all, he was starting a business and he had to invest some costs in the early stages. As long as everything was arranged properly, the money spent could be earned back quickly.

"Okay, you can choose the gift, don't give it too shabby."

"Yes, Boss, I'll do it right away then?"

Shen Yi nodded and agreed: "Go ahead."

After getting his reply, Qu Xiangui didn't want to stay any longer and went out impatiently. When there was an easy-to-control eldest son of the Zhu family speaking for the Tiger Gang, what was the point of keeping Zhu Yixuan, an ungrateful person who could never be satisfied?
Of course I kicked him!
On the big couch behind the curtain, Shen Yi played with the gold bricks for a while. He felt that there seemed to be nothing to do today and didn't want to stay here any longer. He handed a piece of bright jade to one of the ghost soldiers, put away the dummy, turned around and went into the tunnel.

On the other side, after Qu Xiangui had someone prepare the carriage, he quickly went to Zhu Mansion with the things.

After a while, we finally found the Liu'anchunyuan house that Shen Yi mentioned in the afternoon.

"Knock on the door and follow me in later. Don't talk nonsense. This is not the Tiger Gang. This is the Zhu Mansion! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, Hall Master, don't worry!"

"Get your stuff, stand up straight, and lift your mouth up. See? That's it. Learn from me."

"Isn't that what a slave looks like?"

"No matter what he looks like, just do it like this!"

After lecturing Ma Qin and the other man, Qu Xiangui straightened his clothes, pulled the doorknob and knocked on the door of "Liu'anchun".

"Is there anyone inside?"

There was silence behind the door for about two or three seconds, and soon there was a response: "Who is outside?"

"We are from the Tiger Gang. Is this the residence of Master Zhu Yanhan?"

"You're from the Tiger Gang? What do you want from the young master?"

"We have something important to discuss with your young master, please give us some convenience."

The person behind the door fell silent. Qu Xiangui waited for a while, and seeing that there was no movement from inside for a long time, he knocked on the door again.

dong dong dong.

"Is he still here?"

"Guard brother?"

"Brother inside, open the door and let's talk in detail, how about that?"

"Hey?"

Qu Xiangui shouted several times in succession, and suddenly the door made a click sound and was opened a crack. But before he could see who was inside, a spear was pointed at his face. However, Qu Xiangui had seen many such scenes, and although his pupils shrank suddenly, he did not panic.

"Don't get excited, brothers. We have no ill intentions."

"What are the Peng family members doing here? Are they looking for death?"

The gate was completely opened, and what came into view was a dozen guards in the yard, all blocking their way, with spears and swords in their hands, all pointed at the three of them.

Behind this group of guards, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes can be vaguely seen. This man is none other than Zhu Yanhan, the eldest son of the Zhu family.

Qu Xiangui saw him at a glance and shouted, "Master Yanhan, you misunderstood. We are not from the Peng family."

"You have all introduced yourselves. You are from the Tiger Gang, and you still say you are not from the Peng family?"

"Master Yanhan, the current Tiger Gang has no relationship with Peng Hu any more. Please understand this clearly." Qu Xiangui said with a calm expression and a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Zhu Yanhan was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "When?"

"Master Yanhan, I will explain this to you later. I came here to tell you something good. Can I have a word with you?"

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Zhu Yanhan fell into deep thought.

He had never expected that people from the Zhonghu Gang would come looking for him. He had lived in a sect before and knew relatively little about what happened in Jiangzhou City. He was very curious about when the Zhonghu Gang severed its relationship with Peng Hu.

After hesitating for a short while, he waved his hands and the Zhu family guards who were blocking the gate put away their weapons and made way for him. However, their eyes were still fixed on the three men with a wary look.

"Who are you three from the Tiger Gang?"

"Master Yanhan, my name is Qu Xiangui, and I am the current leader of the Fuhu Hall of the Tiger Gang. The other two are Ma Qin and Xu Baili, my subordinates, and also the leaders of the left and right wings of the Fuhu Hall."

"Ha! The hall master is here. You just said you had some good news to tell me. What is it? Tell me about it."

"Master Yanhan, since I have come here, I will certainly not let you down. It's just that human hearts are hard to predict. I am afraid that if too many people know about it, a good thing may turn into a bad thing. Do you think this makes sense?" Qu Xiangui said as he glanced around, and finally looked at Zhu Yanhan and raised his eyebrows at him.

Zhu Yanhan was no fool. He immediately understood what he meant and said to the guards, "Everyone, step back." After that, he stretched out his hand and waved to the three people, then walked into the hall with two personal guards.

"Ying'er, serve the tea."

"Okay, young master." A maid poured tea at the table. After Zhu Yanhan sat down, he also gestured to Qu Xiangui and the other two to sit opposite him. However, after Qu Xiangui sat down, his eyes involuntarily looked at the two personal guards who were also present. "They are my personal guards, so they are naturally trustworthy. Don't worry about them."

"Since Master Yanhan said so, I will rest assured for now."

"There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it now."

"Yes, Master Yanhan, do you know Zhu Yixuan?"

"Zhu Yixuan...are you talking about my nephew?"

"Nephew?" Qu Xiangui was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the relationship, but he quickly realized that Zhu Yanhan was much older than Zhu Yixuan.

"Yes, in terms of seniority, Zhu Yixuan is indeed my great-nephew. What do you think he does?"

"Master Yanhan, although our Tiger Gang is already one of the largest gangs in Jiangzhou City, it was only with the support of the Zhu family that we could have what we have today. When our Tiger Gang does things, we should also be oriented to the Zhu family. It's just that Zhu Yixuan not only took away a large amount of the gang's property on a daily basis, but also bossed us around. The gang members can't bear it. He even wanted our Tiger Gang to hand over the Black Tiger Hall to someone else for his own selfish desires..." Qu Xiangui made a long story short and told the story of the Jucai Gang.

After hearing this, Zhu Yanhan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I heard this morning that the Jucai Gang had hundreds of members massacred by you. So that's how it is. It seems that your gang leader is also a man of temperament. If I were here, I would definitely destroy the Jucai Gang!"

"Young Master is worthy of being the eldest son of the Zhu family. He really knows how to deal with things!"

"I am sensible, but my elder brother is not... Never mind, let's not talk about this. From what you said, I have offended Zhu Yixuan?"

"My lord, it is like this."

"But what's the point of looking for me? I never get involved in family affairs."

"Master Yanhan, you must not underestimate yourself. As the eldest son of the Zhu family, you say you are second in terms of cultivation talent. Who in the Zhu family dares to call themselves number one? I believe you have considerable power in the Zhu family. After this incident, Zhu Yixuan may have grudged us. The Tiger Gang has no other request but to speak a few fair words for the Tiger Gang in the Zhu family and give Zhu Yixuan a warning. Let us do something for him."

It was obvious that Qu Xiangui's words were just right. Zhu Yanhan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile, and hummed twice.

"Hehe~ I can say a few words to my father, but what benefit can I get?"

"You can get 1% of the monthly revenue of our Tiger Gang..."

"Only one? That's too little!"

"Sir, please listen to me. One percent is too little, but this is only what you get after you verbally agree. However, if you can help the Tiger Gang get rid of Zhu Yixuan, you can get 10% of the Tiger Gang's monthly revenue in the future."

"What is the monthly revenue of the Tiger Gang?"

"My Lord, if we combine all the businesses under the Tiger Gang, the monthly revenue is about 20,000 taels of silver."

"Twenty thousand taels..." Zhu Yanhan's eyes widened slightly. If he got 10% of the twenty thousand taels of silver, that would be two thousand taels of silver every month. This was much more than his original offering, and now that the monthly payment was halved, he was still worried about how to save the five hundred taels of silver every month in the future.

The Tiger Gang is like a pillow delivered to someone when they are sleepy.

Just as he was about to say something, Qu Xiangui spoke first and continued, "And young master, the Tiger Gang is now in the process of transformation. Our leader once said that after the Tiger Gang successfully transforms, it will be able to make more money every month. By then, let alone 20,000 taels, even 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels will not be a problem. And if you get 10% of the profits, won't you have more money than you can spend every month?"

"Is this true?"

"Of course, just wait and see."

As Qu Xiangui spoke, he waved his hand and two large boxes suddenly appeared out of thin air on the ground beside him. Ma Qin and the other man were very considerate and immediately stood up and opened the boxes, which were filled with white silver.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yanhan's breathing became rapid, but he quickly suppressed it.

"What does this mean, Master Qu?"

"This is a gift our leader prepared for you before you came. Please accept it."

Zhu Yanhan retracted his gaze and signaled with his eyes. Two personal guards immediately stepped forward and put the two boxes of silver into the storage space. Then the atmosphere became lively again.

"Master Qu is so polite. Since you are so sincere, if Zhu Yixuan wants to do something reckless, then as the eldest son of the Zhu family, I will naturally not stand idly by."

"Thank you sir for your help."

"Tell me about your new gang leader. I'm quite curious about him."

"To be honest, it was our gang leader's idea to come to Zhu Mansion to look for you."

"Oh? Who is your gang leader?"

"..."

Afterwards, Qu Xiangui and the other two chatted with Zhu Yanhan in the hall for a while. The two sides had a very harmonious conversation. Seeing that the time was almost up, Qu Xiangui said goodbye.

After leaving Liu'anchun, Qu Xiangui stood in front of the carriage and looked at the setting sun in the west. He couldn't help but sigh that the eldest son of the Zhu family was indeed easy to control and was countless times better than Zhu Yixuan.

He was a little nervous when he came out of the Shen Mansion. After all, he only brought 200,000 taels of silver. Would it be not enough?
But now it seems that two hundred thousand taels is neither too much nor too little!

The Zhonghu Gang only needs to give up 10% of its monthly income. You know, if it was Zhu Yixuan, the Zhonghu Gang would have given up three levels of profit. It is obvious which side is more profitable.

As Qu Xiangui finished his negotiations, in a teahouse in Jiangzhou City where business was extremely slow, the business conversation between Jian Zhanming and Zhu Yandong also came to an end.

"Master Zhu, have you been thinking for too long?"

"Hmm... What is the relationship between your gang leader and Tsurumi Hatsuun?"

"I'm sorry, Jane is here to do business, not to answer questions."

"…So what do you want to get?"

"Master Zhu, you misunderstood us. Jian said at the beginning that we are here to discuss business. Since it is business, it is of course a win-win cooperation. We provide the strategy and money, and you provide the people and the land. As for what we can get, Master Zhu will understand it at that time."

"..."

"What are you still thinking about, Mr. Zhu? This is a sure win business. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. You have seen these things. They will only make your teahouse business better than before."

"Let me think about it again." Zhu Yandong shook his head and said.

Jian Zhanming on the opposite side impatiently threw the teacup and teapot to his men, waving his hands to urge them to make another pot of tea. He had been talking with the other party since noon and it was not over yet. Zhu Yandong was so fussy that he really wanted to chop him with a knife, but the gang leader specifically asked him to cooperate with this matter, which made Jian Zhanming so worried that his urine turned yellow.

Zhu Yandong didn't know what Jian Zhanming was thinking. He continued to stare at the contents on the paper, muttering, "Tianxiaren Insurance Company..."
