Rebellious Contract Beast

Zhu Yanhan, this kid has not returned to the sect since he got benefits from the Tiger Gang. He has been staying there for several months. He Jianyanqiu and Zhu Yandong have been persuading him to return to the sect every day.

It’s just that persuading is one thing, but whether Zhu Yanhan listens or not is another.

The old witch had talked to him, and Zhu Yanhan complained that he was bored to death in the sect. He did nothing but homework every day, and had almost no free time.

The Samsara Sect is a well-known large sect in the Dahong Dynasty. Unlike the Qingyuan Sect, the leader of this sect is a genuine Xuan-level Venerable, and there is more than one Xuan-level Venerable. It is rumored that the Samsara Sect has a supreme elder who has the cultivation level of a Ming-level Saint. Those secluded families have to give him some face when they meet him.

Corresponding to such an arrangement, the rules of the Samsara Sect are extremely strict, which is completely different from those of the Qingyuan Sect.

Of course, I don’t know whether it is Shen Yi or not. After all, I have never been to the Samsara Sect and I am not familiar with the place.

He remembered that when he was in college, the student union told him during the dormitory inspection at night that garbage could not be put into the trash cans. He didn't know if the rules of the Samsara Sect were so serious.

Oh no, outrageous rules and strict rules are two different things.

Anyway, in the Samsara Sect with strict rules, Zhu Yanhan's master seems to be the strictest elder there, and he is particularly strict with his disciples. No matter if they are from the inner or outer sect, or direct disciples, as long as they make a mistake, the punishment will be enough to make people feel uncomfortable for a month or so.

Zhu Yanhan's idea was to go to the sect later and spend the money in Jiangzhou City to have a good time, which would be much more interesting than practicing in the sect.

"My friend, the people sent by Zhu Yanhan did not say what their purpose was. They just accompanied the other members of the Zhu family. I guess Zhu Yanhan was most likely instructed by his elders to do this."

"Is that so?" Shen Yi nodded. The Zhu family had Zhu Yanhan's attendants among them, and it was obvious that they wanted the Tiger Gang to do them a favor for Zhu Yanhan's sake.

After all, it is no secret that the Tiger Gang is looking for Zhu Yanhan to be their backer.

Although Zhu Yanhan did not publicize it everywhere, it was not difficult for a careful person to guess it.

As for which elder instructed Zhu Yanhan, Shen Yi thought it couldn't be He Jian Yanqiu.

The old witch's aunt is not a fool. She should have guessed that the Tiger Gang and Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry have some connection. The Zhu family has excluded her so much, but she still goes to help the Zhu family. It's a bit too much.

Excluding He Jian Yan Qiu, the last possible person is the third elder of the Zhu family.

Although Shen Yi didn't like the people in the Zhu family, from Zhu Yanhan's perspective, the Third Elder was indeed an elder.

The reason is simple. When Zhu Yanhan was young, he was well taken care of by the third elder of the Zhu family, so there must be some affection between them. And after the Tsurumi family fell and the Wan family took over, there was no obvious dispute between the third elder's lineage and Tsurumi Yanqiu.

As for whether he had secretly harmed Tsurumi Yanqiu, it is hard to say.

If Shen Yi were to say, judging from the Third Elder's facial features, this man was most likely an old scoundrel.

Although you can't judge a person by his appearance, if someone makes him feel uncomfortable when they meet for the first time, Shen Yi generally won't deal with the other person. If they must have some interaction, he must be cautious.

In addition, the relationship between the third elder of the Zhu family and the second young master Zhu Hongxing seems to be quite close...

If it really was the Third Elder, given Zhu Yanhan's personality, it was unlikely that he would refuse his request.

But the Tiger Gang doesn't owe Zhu Yanhan anything. The fact that he can live a good life is all thanks to the Tiger Gang.

"Humph, there are people who really think Zhu Yanhan's people can have a say in the Tiger Gang. How ridiculous."

"Then let's..."

"Don't pay any attention to it. Just stand aside and watch. Let the brothers below prepare. When the Zhendao Society has crippled the Canghai Gang, we will take over the Canghai Gang's territory and business. If the Zhu family asks you, you can say that the Zhonghu Gang has spent a lot of money to build relationships everywhere these days. Now it has become difficult to pay the regular money. Many brothers are complaining and are no longer willing to work hard for the Zhonghu Gang. Although the Zhonghu Gang is willing, it is powerless."

"clear."

"Anyway, just delay it until the Canghai Gang is destroyed. But you have to make a complete show. After you go down, select more people and send them to the military camp outside the city. If the military camp can't accommodate them, send them to the Tianxiaren Group."

"Yes, Your Excellency will definitely get this done."

"Hmm...has there been any results from the Pillow Sword Society recently?"

"Boss, the brothers over there can't enter the banquet, so it's hard to find out what's going on inside. There's not much we can find out, but we've gained something after all."

"tell me the story."

"The mysterious guest invited by the Pillow Blade Society is a man. His age, appearance, and identity are unknown, but he seems to be very lustful. The brothers in the hall have observed that the members of the Pillow Blade Society often take away some prostitutes from Furongfang, and these women never go back after leaving Furongfang. Some people also saw the members of the Pillow Blade Society put corpses into sacks and throw them into the mass grave two miles outside the city."

"Since you saw the body, has the identity been confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed. They are indeed prostitutes from Furongfang. They have been tortured beyond recognition..." Qu Xiangui paused here, but finally described the tragic condition of those corpses.

"The bodies were incomplete, with signs of repeated abuse, and were covered with wounds and bruises. However, they were not caused by weapons, but were torn apart by someone's mouth."

Shen Yi didn't say anything, but complained in his heart: "Good fellow, playing such a perverted game."

"Boss, we can't find many of those prostitutes. There are only about six or seven bodies. As for the rest, we don't know where they were dumped or what their situation is."

"That's enough. Since the customer is lustful, we can just start from this point."

"Honey trap?"

"Well, is there going to be a banquet in the hall tonight?"

"Yes."

"That's good."

"..." Qu Xiangui originally wanted to ask Shen Yi who to find to carry out the beauty trap, but his tone seemed to indicate that he already had a candidate, so he stopped asking and talked about other things.

"By the way, boss, I have something important to report to you."

"What is it?"

"The birthday of the Zhu family's Patriarch is coming soon. What kind of gifts should the Tiger Gang prepare?"

What Qu Xiangui said surprised Shen Yi for a moment, but he was stunned after he came to his senses.

"What?" "Boss?"

"what did you just say?"

"I heard that the Zhu family's Patriarch's birthday is coming soon. In the past, the Tiger Gang would prepare gifts to bring over every year. I'm afraid this year will be no exception."

"When is Zhu Jianqing's birthday?"

"April 20th, less than half a month away." Qu Xiangui answered truthfully.

After listening to this, Shen Yi fell into silence. He squinted his eyes behind the curtain, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. He did not speak for a long time.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the leader of the Tiger Gang did not respond for a long time, Qu Xiangui could not help but shout.

"What's wrong, boss? Is there something wrong?"

"No, if there is nothing else, please step down and let me think about it."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiangui said nothing, just nodded and retreated out the door.

As soon as he left, Shen Yi behind the curtain hunched over and tapped the table with his paws.

He wouldn't care if Zhu Jianqing died suddenly, let alone care when his birthday was.

What really concerned Shen Yi was the time of the birthday party, which gave Shen Yi a new clue.

Whenever the Zhu family holds some activities such as birthdays, weddings or funerals, the Tiger Gang will participate, not for any reason but to curry favor and make their presence felt.

As for whether the gang leader should be present, that is another matter. If the Zhu family member who is hosting the event is not that important, it doesn't matter if Shen Yi doesn't go.

There would be no advantage or disadvantage in going anyway.

But if the head of the Zhu family celebrates his birthday, it would be unreasonable for the gang leader like me not to go.

Isn't this obviously a lack of respect?
You know, even though the former leader of the Tiger Gang, Peng Chenghao, was in a nearly vegetative state, he would be forcibly pushed to the Zhu family on the birthday of the head of the Zhu family.

Shen Yi had been the gang leader for some time, so he certainly understood all this, but he did not expect that Zhu Jianqing's birthday would come so soon.

Actually, celebrating Jianqing’s birthday is not that important, Shen Yi can still choose not to go, but if he does so, the corresponding gifts must be given.

Only when the gifts are given appropriately can the attitude be justified.

But the question is, what kind of gift should I give?
He and Zhu Jianqing were not familiar with each other, so he was too lazy to waste energy choosing a suitable gift for the other party. According to Shen Yi's original idea, if it was Zhu Jianqing's birthday, he would just ask someone to send some silver over.

Or you could go find an alchemist in the city and spend a lot of money to buy a few decent magic tools to get by.

But I don't want to be there and I don't want to give the gifts. How can this be possible?
It would be fine if Zhu Jianqing was more open-minded and didn't care, but if he took it to heart, the Tiger Gang would be in danger.

It is extremely easy for the Zhu family to deal with the Zhonghu Gang. Apart from anything else, during this period of time, the Zhu family does not even need to take action to deal with the Zhonghu Gang. They only need to publicly announce the severance of ties with the Zhonghu Gang. Then, the Xu family will have no worries at all and can directly confront the Zhonghu Gang.

In this case, how can Shen Yi's subordinates like Qu Xiangui play with the Xu family?

However, this is just a possibility. As the patriarch of the Zhu family, Zhu Jianqing, with his status, may not have cared about what the Tiger Gang had done, nor would he care about what kind of gifts the Tiger Gang would send. But the problem is that Zhu Jianqing is not blind, and not caring about the Tiger Gang does not mean that he cannot see the Tiger Gang.

If you don’t use a conspicuous bag, your birthday or something like that might just pass by.

But the Tiger Gang has become the conspicuous one, and the reason is nothing else but the matter of the Canghai Gang.

Put yourself in his shoes. If Shen Yi himself is the leader of a big family, with a big gang that is completely obedient and at his disposal, it is better to have it than nothing, right?

The Canghai Gang is such a gang, but now it is facing the situation of being crushed by the Zhendao Gang. The Zhonghu Gang, which is also loyal to the Zhu family, turns a blind eye to it and pretends to obey. When the Canghai Gang is gone, can Zhu Jianqing be kind to the Zhonghu Gang?

Speaking of this matter, we have to mention Xu Sihai. This old Deng definitely did it on purpose. The timing was so accurate, it was obviously targeting him.

The Zhonghu Gang swallowed up such a big piece of the Canghai Gang's cake, not to mention the other things. On Zhu Jianqing's birthday, the gang leader had to go over to express his stance and give some reassurance or something.

But Zhu Jianqing's birthday party is not a family banquet during the New Year. In addition to Zhu's family, people from other families will also be invited, and even the heads of the Chen, Luo, and Xu families will be present.

There is no need to say more about Xu Sihai.

In short, if he does this, there is a high possibility that the Zhu family will directly attack the Tiger Gang. Even if the Zhu family is finally appeased by Shen Yi's words, Old Deng will at least be able to find out their background.

In this way, you can achieve your desired goal. Don't make this move too perfect.

Fortunately, it was not too late for Shen Yi to understand these things, and he could still make amends. However, he was still puzzled by the mysterious guest in the Pillow Blade Society. Who was he and what did he do? And what was the purpose of the Pillow Blade Society's daily banquets to entertain him?
If the guest had no connection with the Tiger Gang, Mingyue would not have mentioned it specifically in the letter.

"Hiss~" Shen Yi took a deep breath. First of all, he did not want to think about why the Zhendao Society would entertain the mysterious guest. Let's just talk about the current problem. Even if Shen Yi wanted to appease the Zhu family with words, he could not do it, because he was a contracted beast and could only hide behind the curtain and could not show himself to others.

After swallowing up the territory of the Canghai Gang, on the day of Zhu Jianqing's birthday, it was neither right for the gang leader to go nor not to go. He only had one way left, which was to help the Canghai Gang and pretend to be loyal to the Zhu family.

It was obvious that Xu Sihai must have dug a big hole on this road, waiting for him to jump in.

When implementing a strategy, a strategist naturally has to take into account the various variables involved, and therefore will leave multiple backup plans to prevent the strategy from deviating from its direction during implementation.

Xu Sihai should have also made several preparations. After all, it took the Zhendao Society half a month to wipe out the Canghai Gang. As for when to destroy the Canghai Gang, it would also be up to Xu Sihai to decide. Shen Yi guessed that it might take about ten days for the Zhendao Society to destroy the Canghai Gang.

All this time added up to almost a month. With such a long time, it was impossible for me to not react, and it was impossible for Xu Sihai not to guess it.

Now it seems like we are back to half a month ago. In front of Shen Yi are two choices given by Xu Sihai: to obstruct the Pillow Blade Society or not to obstruct the Pillow Blade Society, or to drag the Chen family into the water.

ta~ta~
Three choices, which one should I choose?
Shen Yi knocked his claws on the table twice finally, then retracted them. He turned his head, opened the secret compartment and crawled into the tunnel.

Choose a shit!
If little Lao Deng wants to control me, it’s still decades too early!
