Rebellious Contract Beast

"Qu Xiangui."

"I'm here."

"How much money is left in the treasury?"

"Boss, there isn't much money left in the treasury. There are still about 1.4 million taels left..."

"It's just this little..." Shen Yi nodded when he heard the number. The Tiger Gang makes a lot of money now, but spends it quickly. It's already very good to still have these savings.

"Well, find a suitable person to sell all the unprofitable businesses in the gang, and sell the valuables in the Red Tiger Hall and the Black Tiger Hall. As long as they are not important, sell them. Put the Tiger Guards' affairs on hold for now, and sell everything you have to scrape together three million taels of silver."

"Boss, what do we need so much silver for?"

When Qu Xiangui heard Shen Yi's request, he was startled, and then his face was full of confusion.

"Don't do anything. After collecting enough money, give it all to Manager Yang of Luoxiangzui Winery. As for the purpose..." Shen Yi made it short and described his plan concisely. After listening to it, Qu Xiangui was stunned.

This dirty trick by their own gang leader is going to bankrupt the Xu family!
"Boss, isn't this a bit too risky? What if the Chen family changes their mind? Then we will..."

"Of course I know what you said, but you just need to calm down. I will naturally send someone to negotiate with the Chen family. They have no reason to refuse."

"Yes..." Seeing the confidence in Shen Yi's tone, Qu Xiangui said nothing more. He nodded, took his leave and left. After that, he was busy all the time and took his people to the Zhu family mansion to do some work.

He went to the Zhu family only to see two people, one was the Zhu family's eldest son Zhu Yanhan, and the other was the Zhu family's third elder Zhu Wanzai.

Everything went smoothly for the Zhu family. Qu Xiangui quickly found Zhu Yanhan, and with Zhu Yanhan acting as the middleman, it didn't take too long for him to meet the third elder of the Zhu family.

"Master, I have explained everything I need to say. What do you think?"

"What do you mean by possible?"

"The outcome of this matter is nothing more than success or failure. If it succeeds, you and Young Master Yanhan will split the three million taels of silver equally. If it fails, neither you nor the Zhu family will suffer any loss. This is a business with no investment and huge profits."

"What on earth does your gang leader want to do? Why did he suddenly agree to it today, contrary to his usual behavior?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know much about this matter. I'm just following the leader's wishes."

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Can you tell me how sure you are about this?"

"To be honest, after all, our Tiger Gang is going to deal with the fourth elder of the Xu family this time. You should know Xu Sihai, this man is resourceful and it is difficult to successfully deceive him, so we are less than 30% sure of this matter."

"If it's less than 30%, then wouldn't it be a waste of my time?"

"Master, what you said is wrong. You know, the disciples in my gang have always been dissatisfied with the Canghai Gang. When they saw them being teased by the Pillow Blade Society, all the members of the Tiger Gang applauded. And this time, the leader made the decision to help the Canghai Gang. Rumors spread in the gang, and our leader was under a lot of pressure."

"Humph, both the Tiger Gang and the Canghai Gang were nurtured by my Zhu family to be what they are today. If one is in trouble, how can the other just sit there and watch?"

"Master, that's true, but people's minds are hard to predict. We who manage people sometimes have to consider what the people below think. Master, don't you agree?"

"That's true."

"With our Tiger Gang taking action, even if things don't work out, we can still save the current situation for the Canghai Gang. How can you say that you worked in vain, Master?"

Zhu Wanzai fell into deep thought. Qu Xiangui's words sounded nice, but the implication was that if Zhu Wanzai did not cooperate with the Zhonghu Gang, the Zhonghu Gang would stand idly by and watch what happened to the Canghai Gang. By then, the Zhendao Society would destroy the Canghai Gang, and the Zhonghu Gang would reap the benefits.

If they cooperate, the Canghai Gang and the Zhuhu Gang will join forces to fight against the Zhendao Society. Afterwards, they may get a huge sum of money, three million taels of silver. This is the total income of the Zhu family for three years, and he and Zhu Yanhan will split it equally. How can they not be tempted?

And what he had to do was very simple, he didn't have to do almost anything.

It is indeed a business that makes huge profits with no investment. Even a fool would know what to choose.

As for whether he could get three million in the end, Zhu Wanzai was optimistic. There was no reason for it. Ever since the Zhonghu Gang got a new leader and came up with those weird things, the money the Zhonghu Gang paid to the Zhu family every month was twice as much as before!
Although what Qu Xiangui said was confusing, the achievements of the Tiger Gang were there, and it was hard not to be convinced.

"Well, then, do as your leader says."

"Master is wise!" Seeing that Zhu Wanzai agreed, Qu Xiangui showed joy on his face, and hurriedly asked his men to bring an IOU. What was written on it was nothing more than a receipt that the Tiger Gang borrowed 3 million taels of silver from the Zhu family on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

After taking a quick look and seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhu Wanzai readily signed and sealed the document, with the Zhu family seal printed very prominently.

"Okay, do you really want my Zhu family to lend you three million taels of silver?"

"Sir, please stop joking. How is this possible?"

"That's better. Come on, have a drink."

"Then wish us immediate success!"

"Dry!"

"..."

After coming out of Zhu's house, Qu Xiangui breathed a sigh of relief. The initial task was completed, and what he had to do next would be much easier.

"Master, what shall we do next?"

"Go to the Red Tiger Gang to find Master Jian. It's time to sell things."

"Yes."

"..."

While Qu Xiangui was busy, Shen Yi on the other side had already left the Shen Mansion and was basking in the sun in Mingyan Courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.

After Qu Xiangui and Zhu Wanzai reached an agreement, the Tiger Gang officially intervened in the conflict between the Zhen Dao Society and the Cang Hai Gang.

Sure enough, as the Tiger Gang and the Canghai Gang joined forces, the Zhendao Gang instantly fell into a disadvantage and was beaten back step by step.

After the change of offense and defense, the members of the Canghai Gang became extremely crazy. When facing the members of the Zhendao Society, they simply killed them all without giving them any chance to survive. Their methods were extremely cruel, especially those members of the Zhendao Society who were captured alive by the Canghai Gang in the fight. They often ended up being tortured to death in humiliation by the Canghai Gang members.

The Tiger Gang just stood by and watched, not caring about anything, allowing the Canghai Gang to do whatever it wanted.

Everything developed as Shen Yi had expected, except that on the third day, a hall master of the Canghai Gang led nearly a hundred people to break into the Jin Mantang of the Zhendao Society, smashing, looting and robbing. No matter whether they were members of the Zhendao Society who were watching the place, or the guys and clerks who were just working inside, or the customers who went to Jin Mantang to do business, they all fell victim to the Canghai Gang's murderous hands, and corpses were everywhere.

After this incident, within just one night, the city was filled with rumors about the Canghai Gang, which roughly stated that the Canghai Gang had killed someone they shouldn't have killed in Jin Mantang.

The man's name was Wu Chengyi. He was the adopted son of a man named Wu Han from the prominent Wu family. This Wu Han was the youngest son of the eldest elder of the Wu family.

Wu Han is already 94 years old this year, with no children. He finally adopted a son in Jiangzhou City, but he was killed by the Canghai Gang. After one night, the Canghai Gang must have received the news and knew that they had caused a big disaster, so they immediately became honest.

It was said that the old man named Wu Han had brought the Wu family and the Xu family to the Zhu family to seek explanation, but Shen Yi was too lazy to pay attention to these. Now he was in the Shen Mansion to get information about the archery shop.

Just as he thought, the archery shop was indeed related to the Lin family, but Shen Yi was completely shocked after learning all the information.

The archery shop was originally taken over by an unsuccessful young master of the Lin family as a small business, but due to the poor business, he had no choice but to sell it to another person, who was the eldest daughter of the Lin family's head.

Although the archery shop did not have a sign, all the powerful people in Jiangzhou City knew that the name of the shop was Xiuqing Arrow House.

How to say it, the eldest daughter of the Lin family is also a weirdo. Her original name was Lin Xiuqing, but she didn't like this name, so she changed her name to Lin Xiayu, and then the name Xiuqing was used on the shop.

Then there is an ancestor of the Lin family named Lin Tengshi. He is one of the famous Xuan-level masters of the Dahong Dynasty. His archery skills are superb. He once shot and killed a general of the enemy country with a single arrow from a hundred miles away. He is simply a human-shaped super sniper rifle and cannot be described as a human at all.

Perhaps influenced by Lin Tengshi, Lin Xiuqing likes nothing else but bows and arrows. Not only will she not thank you if you give her other things, but she will also look stern. Only bows and crossbows can please her. Because of this, every year on her birthday, this young lady can receive hundreds of bows and arrows, and they are all magical weapons or even spiritual weapons of good quality.

Because of this, she is very much favored by the ancestor Lin Tengshi and has an important status in the Lin family.

It seemed that she later changed her name to Lin Xiayu because she didn't like the name Lin Xiuqing, which made her father, the head of the family, very dissatisfied. After a big quarrel between the father and daughter, the eldest daughter chose to run away from home in anger, and bought the shop of her younger brother in the clan in Jiangzhou City, which led to the current Xiuqing Archery House.

The bows and arrows sold in Xiuqing Archery House were all gifts given to her by others in the past.

It is worth mentioning that this young lady is already thirty-three and almost thirty-four years old. It is not like what she said, that she is only five years older than the old witch. She is clearly fifteen years old!
Sure enough, women like to lie about their age.

When it comes to her age, a strange thing happens. The Lin family has been urging her to find someone to marry quickly. Logically speaking, she was born in such a family environment, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and has a good talent for cultivation. She should not be forced to get married by her family. After all, the rule of this world is that the realm of cultivation is above all else. As long as the cultivation is high enough, it is never too late to start a family.

But like any other ordinary woman, she was urged to get married by her family.

Of course there is a reason for this, and it is also the reason why Shen Yi was shocked.

It was nothing else but the Lin family discovered that Lin Xiuqing was a spinster!

To use the words of her previous life, Lin Xiuqing was a lesbian!
On the way back to the Zhu family mansion a few days ago, I told the old witch that Xia Yu might be lusting after her body. It was just a casual remark at the time, but I didn't expect it to come true!
In this case, it all makes sense why she had such good intentions towards Tsurumi Hatsuun.

Lin Xiuqing is a lesbian who only likes young and beautiful women and has no interest in men. It is obvious that she has taken a fancy to the old witch.

In other words, the Lin family discovered early on that Lin Xiuqing had problems with her sexual orientation, so they wanted her to find a man to marry and correct her sexual orientation.

In fact, the Lin family was successful. Lin Xiuqing is now a married woman, and her husband is none other than the eldest son of the Wan family.

According to Qu Xiangui, the eldest son of the Wan family who married into the Lin family was called Wan Chen. Although he was a man, he was so handsome that he was even more handsome than a woman.

It's no wonder. If Lin Xiuqing really had no feelings for men, then no matter how the Lin family forced her to get married, it would be useless. She chose Wan Chen only because Wan Chen looked like a girl.

"The Canghai Gang got into trouble. I heard that the man named Wu Han has taken people to the Zhu family to negotiate, and the Xu family is also accompanying them. Now that so much time has passed, how is the situation?"

"Boss, the Wu family and the Xu family have already left the Zhu family. It seems that the discussion is over."

"What's going on with the Canghai Gang?"

"The leader of the Canghai Gang is also at the Zhu family. The brothers we sent there to act as spies have not yet received any news about him."

"Hehe, the Canghai Gang is in trouble."

"That's right, but Gang Leader, after this incident, I'm afraid the Canghai Gang won't dare to act rashly again. Should we also rest and recuperate for a while?"

"Anyway, Xu Sihai's goal has been achieved. If the enemy can't move, I won't move. I'll just keep an eye on the people from the Pillow Blade Society. As for the rest, I'll do what needs to be done. You don't need to ask me about everything."

"Yes, Gang Leader."

"..."

After chatting with Qu Xiangui for a while, after he left, Shen Yi also left the Shen Mansion and went to the Zhu family residence.

When Shen Yi returned to Mingyan Courtyard and arrived in front of the guest hall, he felt that the atmosphere around him was not right. He glanced inside and saw the old witch, Zhuhong and four maids were there.

He Jianchuyun had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Shen Yi wandering at the door, so he waved to others.

"Miss, don't be sad, Madam will definitely find a way..."

"Okay, I get it, you all go out."

"Miss……"

"Okay, I'm fine, leave me alone for a while."

"Well... okay." Zhuhong and Wu Bi looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and led their people out of the hall.

After they left, Shen Yi entered the hall from behind, looked at He Jian Chu Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I wish my family had just come over."

"What's the matter, Wu Han?"

"Ah."

"Who are they?"

"The second elder of the Zhu family, Grandma Zuo, they want me to transfer the Luoxiangzui wine business to the Xu family, otherwise they will..." At this point, He Jianchuyun was a little amused.

"What are we going to do to you? Kick you out of the Zhu family?"

"No, Grandma Zuo said she wanted to marry me to the old man from the Wu family."

"Uh..." Shen Yi was not surprised. The old witch's beauty was there, and she was a very useful tool for marriage. It would be a pity if she was expelled from the Zhu family casually.

"Only the Second Elder and Grandma Zuo? Zhu Jianqing didn't come for such a big event?"

"No." He Jianchuyun shook his head.

Hearing this answer, Shen Yi couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice.

"It seems that Zhu Jianqing knows something, what an old fox!"
