Rebellious Contract Beast

"Tsk tsk, that old man Xu Sihai!" Shen Yi felt a headache.

There's no way around it, that's just how the Pillow Sword Society is.

If we look at it from the perspective of ordinary gang members instead of the Tiger Gang, the Pillow Blade Gang has one advantage, which is that there is a lot of room for promotion.

After all, there is only one job for each person, and only when your boss leaves can you take over. This is the style of the Pillow Blade Society. People like those who sit at the table and sit at the head of the club, as long as they make a mistake, they will be liquidated by the Xu family in no time.

Once they left, the people below had the opportunity.

Even though Tang Wanyu is the head of Beitang, his subordinates keep a close eye on him.

Unlike the Zhonghu Gang, the leaders of the upper halls are tied together. Among the six hall leaders, Shen Yi trusts four of them and they will not be replaced easily. It is also difficult for the gang members below to have the opportunity to get promoted.

You know, in the past ten years in Jiangzhou City, the head of the Pillow Knife Society has changed four or five people, and no one knows when Deng Quanchang will be kicked out by the Xu family.

As for the Zhonghu Gang, from its founding to the present, over forty years, there have been only three gang leaders.

Again, the Pillow Blade will be controlled too thoroughly by the Xu family.

Now it seems that the only people Mingyue can trust are those in Anxiang Pavilion. Besides, if it's just suspicion, then it shouldn't be a big problem. Once we confirm that those people dare to suspect, we can just make things difficult for them. I hope Mingyue knows how to make things difficult for his subordinates.

……

"What's going on?" He Jianchuyun asked softly.

Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at her, and saw her blinking at him.

"It's still the same..." Shen Yi cut to the chase and told her everything he learned from the Shen Mansion during the day.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"It's not like I didn't get anything out of it. Before, I just guessed that Xu Sihai, the old Biden, was going to make a fuss about this mysterious guest. I wasn't sure, but now Mingyue has pointed out the right direction and cleared up my confusion. So I'll have someone investigate in this direction. As long as we know what Xu Sihai's ultimate goal is, everything will be easy."

"Then just watch over you. At worst, I can go to the Xu family and kill a few people myself." He Jianchuyun said lightly. After that, she took out some lychees and began to peel them. However, Shen Yi's next sentence made her so angry that she threw the peeled lychee skins at him.

"All you do is fight and kill. I don't think you're fit to be a young lady. You should be a female bandit!"

"Screw you!"

"I didn't throw it!"

"..."

On this day, He Jianchuyun got up very early, refined two batches of pills in the alchemy room and gave them to Shen Yi. After hurriedly finishing his breakfast, he took Zhuhong and two maids in a carriage to the Luoxiangzui Distillery.

She went there with no other purpose than to see how the people in the winery were doing.

"Miss, you are here, come in."

"Well, where's Yang Bayuan?"

As soon as He Jian Chu Yun arrived, the two workers guarding the winery door hurriedly invited her in. When they heard her asking about Yang Bayuan's condition, one of the workers smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss, Manager Yang is fine. He was just seriously injured and can only walk with difficulty."

"Oh~" Although she knew in her heart that Yang Bayuan would not be in danger of life, after all, she had left a lot of healing pills. Unless he had some strange terminal illness, she could forcibly pull him out of the gates of hell even if he only had one breath left.

However, she was relieved after getting confirmation from the workers.

Turning around and scanning the winery, He Jian Chu Yun seemed to not see the person he wanted to see. He frowned slightly and asked again, "Where are Yang Bo and Li Rong? Are they okay?"

"Guard Yang and Guard Li are also alive and well, but..." said the worker, but when talking about their current situation, his tone became noticeably lower.

Noticing the change in the worker's tone, Tsurumi Hatsuyun's heart sank.

If she put herself in their shoes, she could understand. Even though Yang Bo and Li Rong's cultivation was not high, only in the early to middle stage of the regular level, even such a level of cultivation had taken them more than ten or twenty years to gain. If it was destroyed in one day, it would be difficult for any cultivator to accept it.

After a short silence, she asked, "Where are the two of them now? Take me over to see them."

"Miss, please come with us." The two workers nodded and took her to the row of cottages on the left side of the winery.

He Jian Chu Yun followed them all the way to the innermost room. One of the workers knocked on the door twice, and soon Yang Bo's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Guard Yang, Guard Li, it's me. The young lady wants to see you."

"Miss? Here she comes!"

The door opened, and Yang Bo and Li Rong appeared before their eyes.

"Miss, why are you here?"

"Miss, if you need to see us, just send someone to let us know. You don't have to come in person." Yang Bo and Li Rong greeted them with a smile on their faces. It can be seen that they have recovered well. Although they were smiling, there was a hint of sadness and reluctance between their brows. Their eye bags were heavy, and it was obvious that their actual spirits were not as good as they appeared.

"I don't have anything to do, I just came to see you." He Jian Chuyun waved his hand, moved his eyes away from the two people's faces, and looked behind them.

The room was cleaned and tidied, but the sheets and quilts on the bed had gone somewhere. Only a bed frame was left, and a pile of packed luggage was placed next to it.

"Thank you Miss for your concern. We are both fine now."

"Well, but how come the things in this room..."

"This..." Seeing He Jianchuyun's eyes on the pile of luggage in the room, Yang Bo and Li Rong looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The smile on her face slowly froze, and finally Li Rong took a step forward and said, "Miss, protecting the winery has always been the responsibility of Brother Yang and I, but now that our cultivation has been abolished, we are no longer able to shoulder this responsibility, and we are no longer qualified to stay here..."

"Miss, since waking up, Brother Li and I have been thinking about it for many days, and we feel that it is time to leave. I hope Miss...can help us."

As they were talking, they suddenly knelt on the ground. After hearing what they said, Tsurumi Hatsuyun's face gradually turned cold and he asked, "Do you two think that I, Tsurumi Hatsuyun, can't support two people?"

"No, no! Miss, you misunderstood. We all know how you treat us, but there are so many talented people in the world, and we can't stand the way we are now."

"Okay, no need to kneel, get up."

"Miss, we..."

"stand up!"

"Yes..." The two looked at each other again, and finally chose to listen to Tsurumi Hatsuyun's words. They stood up from the ground one after another, but with a little uneasiness on their faces.

Looking at the two of them, He Jianchuyun shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yang Bo, Li Rong."

"Miss, we are here."

"...If you really want to leave, I won't stop you. I'll have someone prepare some silver and send you back to Daliang. I may not be able to give you more, but I can definitely ensure that you two will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives. How do you think?"

"Miss, we are afraid that you and Manager Yang will feel embarrassed, so we..."

"Well, I can see that you don't really want to leave, and I never thought of driving you away. Yang Bayuan is not a heartless person, so he won't feel embarrassed about this. As long as the two of you are willing to stay here, I will pay you the wages. It will be the same as before, not a penny less, but..." At this point, He Jian Chuyun paused. Yang Bo and Li Rong's cultivation was abolished, and now they are only a little stronger than ordinary people. It is no longer appropriate for them to continue to serve as guards of the winery, so she said, "Where is Master Qian?"

"Miss, Master Qian is recuperating at home and will be back in a few days."

"Okay, from now on, you two will learn how to make wine from Master Qian. You two are in this situation because of the winery. As the owner, I will never abandon you easily. As long as the winery exists, it will support you. Just do your job well and don't worry too much."

"Really, miss?"

"Well, I mean what I say."

Yang Bo and Li Rong stared at the girl in front of them in a daze. At this moment, the two grown men had tears in their eyes.

They were originally thugs trained by the master family of Yang Bayuan and had sold themselves to the Yang family since childhood. If they lost their use or value, the two of them would just be thrown away like a broken item. However, He Jianchuyun did not choose to abandon them just because their cultivation was abolished. Instead, he gave them a way to live again and guaranteed their second half of life.

Originally, the two were worried about what would happen if their cultivation was abolished, but now, everything is worth it.

Being able to follow such a master is already the luckiest thing in my life.

"Thank you, Miss Xie!"

"Thank you, Miss!"

The two men thanked loudly and were about to kneel down, but their knees were held up by an invisible force and they could not kneel down. After struggling for a while, the two men gave up.

"Miss, we..."

"No need to kneel, this is what I should do. The two of you go into the room and clean up your mess now. Don't think about anything else. Heal your wounds and have a good rest."

"Yes!"

After persuading the two, He Jianchuyun did not stay here for long. He turned around and went up to the pavilion behind the winery to meet Yang Bayuan.

Similar to what the two workers said, Yang Bayuan recovered very well. There was no need to worry about his injuries suddenly worsening and then dying. However, it was not easy for him to walk, but extremely difficult. His legs were broken and it would take two or three months for him to recover.

After seeing He Jian Chu Yun, Yang Bayuan also struggled to get up, but she pushed him back lightly.

When she met Yang Bayuan, she exchanged a few pleasantries and asked about the recent situation in the winery.

A total of twenty-eight people died in the winery. These dead workers, their relatives and friends all received compensation, and their funeral arrangements were also handled, and the process was considered smooth.

Then there was the winery itself. Apart from the workers who were killed, the remaining surviving workers were all seriously injured and were recuperating at home. Yang Bayuan was lying in bed all day and had difficulty moving, so Luoxiangzui had to temporarily close down.

If you want to open a business, you have to recruit a group of new workers.

He Jian Chuyun didn't think there was anything wrong with this, she came here just to see how everyone was doing, she didn't care about making money at all, she didn't know how to spend the money she earned from selling pills to the Chen family.

After finishing her chat with Yang Bayuan, she said "rest assured" and walked out of the room.

When she came out of the pavilion, she did not leave the winery directly, but entered the alley behind the pavilion. After calling Zhuhong and a few others, she stayed alone for a while.

Because so many people were killed by the Xu family's "porters", the Luoxiangzui Winery is now much quieter than before. Looking around, there are hardly any people around, which makes people feel lonely. It would be even more appropriate if it were autumn.

"What are you doing sitting here?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

"whats the matter?"

“……” He Jianchuyun shook his head and said nothing.

Shen Yi seemed to understand something and sighed, "Yes, even if the winery recruits a new batch of employees, many familiar faces are gone."

"That's not what I was thinking."

"What is that? The Xu family?"

"Not at all."

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

"My father, my mother, my grandfather, and... my home."

"homesick?"

"do not know."

Tsurumi Hatsuun shook his head again.

In the space of consciousness, Shen Yi saw that the surroundings of her vision were slowly becoming blurred. Unfortunately, it was the first time, and he didn't know what expression was on the old witch's face.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

"Come in."

After knocking on the door and getting a response from Shen Yi, Qu Xiangui hurried in with a happy look on his face.

"Boss, good news!"

"explain."

"Three nights ago, the Canghai Gang and the Zhendao Society fought a battle. The Canghai Gang suffered heavy casualties. Two hall masters were killed on the spot. Their leader also had one leg broken by Zhu Chengjing of the Zhendao Society's East Hall, but unfortunately he managed to escape. The people under his command sent news that the Canghai Gang has begun to negotiate peace with the Zhendao Society."

"and then?"

"The Pillow Blade Society has not agreed. Judging from their momentum, they are preparing to uproot the Canghai Gang."

"Interesting...besides this, what has the Pillow Blade Society done recently?"

"Nothing happened. Just like before, our people were watching closely. The people from the Pillow Blade Society were honest and didn't dare to do anything rash. It was just that a disciple from our gang had a fight with them yesterday, but there were no casualties."

"Oh, is there anything else you want to add?"

"Yes, when Canghai was preparing to negotiate with the Zhendao Society, two days ago, the Zhu family found me, including people close to Zhu Yanhan."

"Hmm? What do they want from you?"

"The Zhu family wants us to help the Canghai Gang fight off the Zhendao Society." Qu Xiangui said truthfully. Shen Yi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Tsk tsk, that's a nice idea, but I'm curious, why did Zhu Yanhan send someone to follow us?"

"..."
