Rebellious Contract Beast

Noticing the abnormality of the four maids, He Jianchuyun's expression did not change. She just looked at the two Xu family guards, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

As expected of the powerful Fourth Master Xu of the Xu family, the followers around him are all powerful men at the consciousness level.

It's not on the same level as those gangs.

Watching the two guards put down the chair, she did not try to stop them, but just watched quietly.

"Master, the chair is ready." After fixing the chair, the two guards stood up and looked at Xu Sihai outside the door.

He just nodded and walked into the box. Without caring whether Tsurumi Hatsuyun agreed or not, he slowly walked to the seat, patted the non-existent dust on the hem of his clothes, and sat down on the seat, neither too close nor too far from Tsurumi Hatsuyun, the distance was just right.

"What do you want to do?"

"I came here just to discuss a business deal, that's all."

"Business? The business of Luoxiangzui Winery?"

"The little girl has such a straightforward character, I like it."

"Not for sale."

"Fifty thousand taels of silver."

"I said I won't sell it."

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, how about that?"

"The Luoxiangzuijiu business was given to me by my elders. Chuyun should keep it well out of filial piety and should not buy or sell it casually. Master Xu, do you want me to be a disloyal and unfilial person?"

"Miss, you are too serious. You have been in Jiangzhou City for a while. You should know that the winemaking business is the foundation of our Xu family. If it is just a small business, the Xu family can naturally leave it alone. But if it becomes bigger and stronger and touches the foundation of the Xu family, what should we do?"

"The Xu family is so big, don't you have anything else to sell?"

"Humph, the girl is so ambitious at such a young age. Jiangzhou City is so big, can your Luoxiangzui swallow it all?"

"Whether I can swallow it or not is not something you need to worry about." He Jianchuyun said lightly, cutting his nails with the scissors in his hand, clicking slowly and rhythmically.

Xu Sihai was silent for a while, looking into her eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

If the other party had said this a few months ago, he would not have believed it. After all, the Tiger Gang had not done so many outrageous things at that time.

At the beginning, when the Tiger Gang bought land and built wooden archways in various places in Jiangzhou City, the four major families in the city had no idea what they were going to do. But it was not until the wooden archways were hung with advertising slogans of various industries that they realized the seriousness of the matter and reacted to do something, but it was too late.

It is not difficult for a big family to build a wooden archway exactly the same as the one used by the Tiger Gang. On the contrary, it is very simple.

However, they found that if they wanted the billboards to have the best effect, locations with high traffic volume would be the best choice. However, the good locations had already been occupied by the Tiger Gangs, and the remaining ones were all mediocre geographical locations that were not at all attractive to the big families.

I wanted to negotiate with the Zhonghu Gang and ask them to give up some land, but the Zhonghu Gang came up with an "advertising space for rent" which is completely disgusting. The price is extremely expensive. If you want to hang your own property's sign on one of the billboards, you have to charge by the hour.

And one hour actually costs one hundred taels of silver!

It's even worse than robbery!

How much silver does it cost to buy a piece of land? About a hundred taels of silver.

In short, all the opportunities were seized by the Tiger Gang, but the people from the Luo family and the Xu family did not dare to act recklessly. After all, the Tiger Gang had the support of the Zhu family behind it. But there is another point to be said, the Tiger Gang's backer was the Zhu family on the surface, but secretly, the isolated Chen family was also helping the Tiger Gang.

If this continues, it will be hard to say whether Luoxiangzui Winery can dominate the Jiangzhou City wine industry in the future due to the resistance of the Tiger Gang.

The Xu family didn't dare to gamble, and the Tiger Gang itself was also growing at a very fast pace. They were afraid that if they delayed it too long, the Tiger Gang would be out of their control. It was better to resolve such a thing as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Xu Sihai, the fourth master of the Xu family, came to Momei Theater on purpose.

"Miss."

"Master Xu, you don't have to call me that. I can't bear it."

"Although I'm old, I'm still old at heart. I don't have as much patience as I did when I was young. I hope Miss will consider it carefully. If you agree, you can take the two hundred thousand taels here." Xu Sihai said, and with a wave of his hand, two iron boxes suddenly appeared on the floor in front of him. Needless to say, what was inside them was obvious.

After taking out two hundred thousand taels of silver from the storage space, Xu Sihai paused for a moment and continued, "If not..."

"If I don't agree, will Master Xu kill me in public?"

Tsurumi Hatsuyun laughed and ruthlessly interrupted the other person's words.

The smile on her face seemed to be mocking something, without any sign of nervousness or worry.

On the other hand, the smile on Xu Sihai's face gradually disappeared, his gray eyebrows gradually twisted, and he changed his expression and looked at the girl in front of him again.

"..."

He did not answer He Jian Chu Yun, and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he said, "Killing people in public? That's something only hooligans would do. I, Xu Sihai, don't care about it. But He Jian Chu Yun, are you sure you want to do this?"

"The Luoxiangzuijiu business was given to me by my elders. I will not sell it to anyone. Mr. Xu, you'd better go back." He Jianchuyun's attitude was as casual and lazy as before. His tone was casual but with unquestionable firmness. After the last word fell, with a click, the small scissors cut off the nail on the little finger of his right hand. This was the last nail.

Seeing this, Xu Sihai said nothing more. He snorted coldly, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked out the door, saying, "Then we'll see."

"Goodbye, Master Xu." He Jianchuyun said this mischievously. Watching the two guards put away their chairs and retreat out of the box together, she waved her hand and asked Wu Bi to close the door.

"Old witch, you should have acted a little more scared just now."

"Why should I be afraid of him?"

"Let him do something to you, and then you can just kill him. I heard that Lao Deng is the real boss of the Zhen Dao Society. Once he dies, the Zhen Dao Society will be in chaos. I can just let the Tiger Gang swallow up their territory."

"Uh... after I killed him, the Xu family came looking for me. Do you think the Zhu family would protect me?"

"That's true, but this old Deng is very good at observing people's expressions. If he sensed something was wrong, he would just run away."

Shen Yi still felt it was a bit of a pity. After all, the Pillow Blade Society was also one of the three major gangs, and absorbing the Pillow Blade Society would bring too many benefits to the Tiger Gangs.

Maybe I could get a few hundred kilograms of small yellow croaker.

However, things have developed to this point, and there is no point in saying more. The people from those big families have been able to live so long, and they are always very cautious when they go out. For the sake of their own lives, they dare not take the slightest risk.

Hey~
"Okay, there's nothing to sigh about. Let's just watch the show."

"Old witch, can you braid your hair so I can see it when you get back?"

"Watch a show!"

Later, He Jian Chu Yun, Shen Yi, and Zhu Hong completely forgot what happened just now, as if it had never happened. They didn't care at all, let alone take it to heart. This day was spent by He Jian Chu Yun watching plays and shopping.

But Xu Sihai was not the kind of person who only spoke harsh words. Not long after he returned to the Xu family, he ordered people to go to Shangtang Town. No one knew what he was going to do.

On the afternoon of the next day, when Tsurumi Hatsuyun was making elixir in the alchemy room, some workers from the winery actually came to Mingyanyuan.

She was a little confused when she received the news from the front yard, but she still went to the hall to meet the three workers from the winery.

"Yes, Miss! Miss Chu Yun is here!"

"Quick! Let's go there quickly!"

"..."

It was the first time for these winery workers to enter Mingyanyuan, so they looked left and right, feeling very reserved and unable to relax, waiting anxiously.

It was not until they saw Tsurumi Hatsuun's figure at the door that the three workers stood up excitedly and walked towards her.

"Miss! Miss! I finally see you!"

"Dong! Dong! Wine, wine, wine...something big happened at the winery!"

"..."

Seeing that they were so anxious that they even stuttered, He Jian Chu Yun raised his hand slightly and pressed it down, signaling them to be quiet first. Then he found a place to sit down, looked at the three people in confusion, and asked, "What happened? Why are you here? Where is Yang Bayuan?"

"Miss, Manager Yang is seriously injured and can't come."

"Miss Dong, Guard Yang and Guard Li...they..."

"What's wrong with them?" He Jianchuyun felt a little uneasy.

"We were working peacefully in the winery half an hour ago, and then a group of people suddenly broke in from outside. They didn't say anything and just started killing people. We tried to fight them off with hoes and shovels, but they were too powerful and we couldn't beat them at all..."

"Many brothers died in the winery. Guard Yang and Guard Li's cultivation was destroyed. Although they are still alive, they are now lying in bed unable to move. The doctor said that they may need Xuanyuan Pills to save their lives. Even if they are saved, they will become useless people who can no longer cultivate."

"Miss, Granny Gan and Auntie Wu are all dead. They were... chopped into two pieces alive by someone!"

"After those people left, there was really no one left in the winery, so only the three of us could come here to tell you these things, young lady."

The three of them spoke one after another. Their words made He Jian Chu Yun stunned for two seconds. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly asked: "Do you know who those people are?"

"Miss, we don't know who they are. They are all masked. But judging from their skills, they don't seem to be gang members." said one of the workers.

After hearing this, He Jian Chuyun immediately thought of Xu Sihai. Although she didn't take yesterday's incident too seriously, it didn't mean she had forgotten about it.

She had thought that Xu Sihai would find an opportunity to suppress the Luoxiangzui Winery through some means, but she didn't expect him to be so direct and actually send people to the winery to kill people indiscriminately?
Her face darkened, frost covered her pretty face, and her voice also became colder.

"Pearl Red."

"Miss, I'm here."

"Go ask Futian to prepare the car. I need to go to the winery."

"Yes, Miss." Zhuhong beside her nodded quickly and trotted out of the hall.

Not long after, the carriage was ready, and He Jian Chu Yun took two maids and rushed to Shangtang Town.

When she arrived at her destination, she saw that the entrance to the winery was crowded with people, and there was a constant stream of discussions among the crowd.

"What's going on in here?"

"I don't know either. I just got here."

"I heard from those guys that there seemed to be robbers inside."

"What kind of deep hatred could have led to the murder of so many people!"

"How miserable!"

"..."

Hearing these voices, He Jianchuyun's face became more and more gloomy, and he got off the carriage with the help of Jiyue and Xiqing.

Someone in the crowd saw two maidens and a girl in red coming this way, and no one dared to block the road, so they all moved to the sides.

When they entered the winery, the first thing Tsurumi Chuyun and Shen Yi saw were several winery workers slumped on the ground. They were covered in blood. After seeing Tsurumi Chuyun, they wanted to get up, but because they were seriously injured, they struggled for a long time but failed to stand up successfully.

"Miss……"

"No need to get up, just have a good rest."

Then He Jianchuyun turned his head to look to the right, only to see corpses neatly arranged in three rows on the open space under the tree. All of the corpses were covered with white cloth, but the white cloth was more or less stained with blood. In fact, the white cloth on some of the corpses could no longer be seen in its original white color, but had been completely dyed dark red by the blood. Blood was seeping out of the white cloth, dripping onto the ground and forming a stream that flowed on the floor.

Tsurumi Hatsuyun took a deep breath. It was not just a few people who died, but dozens of people. After a rough count, nearly thirty workers died in the winery.

She squatted down and lifted the white cloth from several corpses. Some of the dead workers' bodies were not even intact. Lao Zha and Ma Ping, whom she met when she first entered the winery, were also among the dead.

The two homeless men who depended on each other traveled all the way from Dahong Jinzhou to Jiangzhou and have been wandering for half their lives. They were the first batch of employees recruited after the opening of Luoxiangzui Winery. They were among the few workers who regarded the winery as their own home. They ate and lived here. Their lives had just started to get better, but they suffered this misfortune.

Silently covering the bloodstained white cloth again, Tsurumi Hatsuyun looked towards the open space in front of the main building of the winery, where some people were lying, including Master Qian. Fortunately, they were only seriously injured and still had a chance to survive.

She stepped forward, stopped one of the doctors, took out enough pills and gave them to him, and told the doctors to save the lives of these people. Then she walked into the house and visited Yang Bayuan, Yang Bo and Li Rong.

Yang Bo and Li Rong had their cultivation abolished by forceful means, so they had no external injuries, but they suffered severe internal injuries and were in a coma.

Yang Bayuan was also seriously injured, but his condition was much better than others, so there was no need to worry about his life being in danger. When he saw He Jianchuyun, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything and could only make a "Woo ah woo ah" sound. The doctor said he needed to rest, and He Jianchuyun didn't disturb him. He said, "You take good care of your injuries" and went out, and at the same time took out some healing pills and gave them to the doctor.

Coming to the deep path behind the main building of the winery and making sure that there was no one around, He Jian Chuyun released Shen Yi, then sat beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Old witch, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering what Xu Sihai's purpose was."

"Yeah, they were able to destroy Yang Bo and Li Rong's cultivation, so why didn't they just kill them? Oh, that's not right, it seems that no important people in the winery are dead."
