Rebellious Contract Beast

Xu family mansion.

In a study room in a certain compound.

The light here was dimmer than ever before. Xu Sihai threw the exaggeratedly large ruler in his hand onto the table and said in a cold voice, "Get out and face the wall for a month. Don't let me force you."

"Yes! Yes! Grandson understands!"

As usual, there was a person kneeling in front of the table, but this person was no longer Deng Quanchang, but Xu Honghu, the sixth son of the Xu family.

At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance he had during the day. His face was red and swollen. If you didn't look carefully, you would think he had a pig's head.

His hands were also extremely red, with a pool of foamy blood on the ground, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot in front of Xu Sihai.

He did not dare to disobey his grandfather's words. Feeling the pain in his body, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly got up and limped out of the study, looking back as he walked.

As for Xu Sihai, his face was completely shrouded in shadow and his expression could not be seen.

After about two minutes, he let out a sigh, and then slumped dejectedly in the chair behind the table.

If I had known earlier, I should have gone there in person to take over the winery. If it were me, I would have been able to spot the trap the moment I got the title deed to Luoxiangzui Winery.

But it's too late to say these things now. He didn't expect that when everything was settled, Luoxiangzuijiuye and the Tiger Gang suddenly came back and caught him off guard.

Although he understood that the Tiger Gang and the Chen family were working together to deal with the Xu family, he was also puzzled as to why the Chen family chose to cooperate with He Jian Chu Yun.

But he had to admit that the so-called "bonds" was a trick he had never seen before. It was too advanced and shocking. What kind of person came up with this?

Xu Sihai has now begun to think about what kind of enemy he is facing?
He went through it carefully and found something particularly shocking. Although all of this was a trap set by the Chen family and the Tiger Gang to harm the Xu family, this trap could be carried out even without the existence of the Xu family.

There is no reason. There are hundreds of stores, all of which are in particularly good locations. With such a scale, even a pig can take off.

Xu's Winery has been in business for a hundred years, but it has only 26 stores under its name. What does it mean for a wine company to have hundreds of prosperous stores? It is no exaggeration to say that Luoxiangzui Winery can squeeze out the living space of Xu's Winery in an instant.

With time, it is not impossible to pay off your debts and even make a fortune.

You know, with the current reputation of Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry in Jiangzhou City, that business is definitely not deserted.

There are more than 180 prosperous shops in Jiangzhou City, and everyone drinks the wine produced by Luoxiangzui Winery. The profits are incalculable.

It may be possible to expand the wine industry to other places in the future.

Unfortunately, the Xu family took over the Luoxiangzui wine business not with the intention of developing it, but to hide it!
After all, the foundation of the Xu family has been threatened. For the wine shop in Jiangzhou City, it is enough to have only one Xu's wine. There is no need for any Luoxiangzui wine industry.

Xu Sihai wanted to go with the flow and not hide the Luoxiangzui brand and follow the path planned by Shen Yi, but he was not a fool and knew very well that the comeback of Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry was entirely due to the unremitting publicity of the Tiger Gang.

Now that Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry has changed hands, even if Xu Sihai wants to continue hanging up this sign, the Tiger Gang and the Chen family will never agree. God knows what tricks they will play then.

This path doesn't work.

Shen Yi only gave him two choices, one was to use the Xu family's assets to assume the debt owed by Luoxiangzui, and the other was to return Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry to Hejian Chuyun.

More than nine million taels of silver, this amount of money is something that ordinary people dare not even think about. It is also the total income of the Xu family in the past ten years. In other words, paying back this money is equivalent to letting all the Xu family members work for nothing for ten years without eating or drinking!
There is no way the Xu family can pay back the money!
Then there is only one way left, which is to return the item to its original owner, and it is also the best option.

But things are not that simple. How can the Xu family just spit out what they have eaten?
Of course, there is another way to go. After all, Luoxiangzui Winery is a favor that Wu Han gave to the Xu family. Now that this kind of thing has happened, they can also ask the Wu family to intervene again.

But unfortunately, Xu Sihai has already walked this path.

Wu Han doesn't care about his adopted son Xu Chengyi. To him, the adopted son is just icing on the cake. What's important is himself.

The so-called going to the Zhu family to curry favor was just something Wu Han did to save his own face.

What compensation?
Maybe all this is not necessary at all. All he needs to do is for his family to kneel on the ground and lick his shoes and the matter will be over.

It is already a blessing for the Xu family to obtain the disposal rights of Luoxiangzui Winery.

How is it possible to ask him to clean up the Xu family's mess again?

The Xu family had to find a way to properly resolve this matter, and the Xu family wanted to swallow up the Luoxiangzui Winery while avoiding paying the price of nine million taels of silver. Xu Sihai had no choice but to consider the option he had left for himself.

Since the Chen family has given so many shops, the Xu family should just accept them. As for the Zhonghu Gang...if the Zhonghu Gang disappears, will that still be a problem?
Xu Sihai couldn't help but sneer. What he wanted from the beginning was not only the Luoxiangzui wine business, he also wanted to force the Zhu family into a desperate situation!

But things are unpredictable. At this point in time, choosing to use this method is no longer zero-risk.

It could force the Zhu family into a desperate situation, but at the same time it could also plunge the Xu family into a quagmire.

It would be better not to do so, but Xu Sihai couldn't bear it. High risk, high reward, and the implementation of this method was not considered high risk. It just might cause trouble for the Xu family. As long as this was done perfectly, the only unlucky one would be the Zhu family.

Thinking of this, Xu Sihai's face emerged from the shadows and looked at Deng Quanchang who was standing beside him.

"Now I have a very important matter for you to do. Come here and listen to me in detail."

"Yes, master." Deng Quanchang came closer obediently and listened carefully to every word coming out of Xu Sihai's mouth.

Two minutes later, Xu Sihai finished speaking and asked him, "Did you hear what I said?"

At this time, Deng Quanchang's body was shaking uncontrollably, and there was disbelief and fear in his eyes as he looked at Xu Sihai.

He never expected that Xu Sihai would be so crazy as to ask him to send someone to kill Wu Han and then put the blame on the Tiger Gang!

This matter is indeed a big one. Once anything goes wrong, the first thing the Xu family will do is to push his head out.

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of Deng Quanchang's forehead. Facing Xu Sihai's question, he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only nod his head with difficulty.

"Listen, I understand..."

"Now that you understand, let's go and do it."

"Yes……"

Deng Quanchang wanted to say something but hesitated, but he knew that even if he said something, it would not have any effect. In the end, he had no choice but to get up and leave the study.

"Master, what's going on inside?"

"Does your Excellency have any plans?"

"Master? Master?"

"Master, what happened to you?"

"..." Outside the study, his men saw Deng Quanchang coming out and expressed their concern, but he did not respond to anyone. He just waved his hand and said, "Nothing, let's go back first."

"well."

"Let's go back."

In this way, Deng Quanchang brought his men back to the main hall of the Pillow Sword Society.

In the following days, he did not sleep well. He kept thinking about how to kill Wu Han and then perfectly put the blame on the Tiger Gang.

Even though he already had an idea in mind, he felt that something was not arranged yet and kept procrastinating.

As the days passed, the birthday of Zhu Jianqing, the head of the Zhu family, was getting closer. On this day, someone from the Xu family came and demanded in an extremely tough manner that he must get everything done before Zhu's birthday, which made Deng Quanchang more and more anxious.

If he were a lonely man, it would be fine, but he has parents, a wife and children, all in Jiangzhou City. It doesn't matter if he dies, but what if his family is involved...

He didn't dare to think about it. With the way the Xu family did things, if the truth came to light, he and his family would definitely be killed without a burial place. Those "porters" employed by the Xu family were not there to eat for free.

Just as he paced back and forth thinking about these things, a mature woman dressed exquisitely came in from outside the hall. She took the gift from the maid, walked gracefully to a place not far from Deng Quanchang, put the gift aside, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong?"

When her voice sounded, Deng Quanchang seemed to have just noticed her. He turned his head back suddenly and asked with a frown, "Tang Wanyu? What are you doing here?"

"I've been free these past few days, so I thought about coming to see my senior brother and catch up with him. Since Master passed away, the relationship between me and my senior brother has become quite distant."

As Tang Wanyu spoke, she acted as if she was back home. Without waiting for Deng Quanchang to say anything, she sat down on the chair opposite him, crossed her legs, and looked extremely elegant.

"We can talk about the past anytime, but I know you. Just tell me what you're here for."

"Brother, you are so boring. Let me be frank. Recently, my Beitang is short of manpower, and I came here to bring some over."

"What do you need so many people for? I gave you so many last time, why do you need more this time?"

"Some time ago, the Tiger Gang and the Canghai Gang made such a fuss, and those who died were all from my Beitang. Brother, please be reasonable."

"Okay, if you want someone, I'll give it to you. I'll have my men bring a hundred people to your place later. Is there anything else?"

"Gone."

"If you don't have it, just go back and don't bother me." Deng Quanchang said unhappily. The two of them were from the same school and had a very good relationship in their early years. If you were to say who knew Tang Wanyu best, it would undoubtedly be Deng Quanchang.

He knew very well that the woman in front of him was very utilitarian. Fortunately, she was an orphan. If anyone blocked her interests, even if they were her relatives, she would still take action. She was truly cruel and ruthless.

Knowing all this, Deng Quanchang deliberately distanced himself from her after they both joined the Pillow Sword Society.

However, while others were afraid of Deng Quanchang, Tang Wanyu was not. She did not react to his words at all. She remained seated, puffing slowly on her pipe, exhaling a puff of thick smoke, and then asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother, you look so worried. Did you run into any trouble?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"Tell me, maybe I can help you?"

"You?" Deng Quanchang showed contempt on his face and was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but then he realized something and was stunned.

The crime of murdering the Wu family was too big a crime. Logically, the fewer people involved and who knew about it, the better. But on second thought, if something went wrong, he would be the one to suffer, and many people from the Pillow Knife Society would also die. Tang Wanyu was not a fool, and she would definitely not have the guts to tell anyone about it. Pulling her in might really help him.

"Senior brother?"

Deng Quanchang came back to his senses, looked at Tang Wanyu with a strange expression, and asked, "Brother, I can tell you, but are you sure you want to listen?"

"What can't I hear?"

"Well, I'll tell you..." Deng Quanchang simply recounted to Tang Wanyu what Xu Sihai had told him. After listening, Tang Wanyu, who had originally looked nonchalant, now looked serious.

"Killing the Wu family, this is really bold..."

"Yes, if something goes wrong, the only ones who will come out to take the blame are the Zhen Dao Society. The Xu family just needs to apologize and make amends. Xu Sihai is such an old fox!"

"Brother, have you told anyone else about this?"

"No, now only you, me and Xu Sihai know about it."

"That's good."

"Junior sister, do you have a solution?"

"I do have an idea."

"Then tell me what you have to say, Junior Sister?" Deng Quanchang's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Tang Wanyu nod.

"I have many spies in the Tiger Gang. It's not difficult to pin the blame on the Tiger Gang. I just need to let my spies do it. But the guards around the Wu family are a problem. We must first find a way to get rid of them. Brother, do you have any ideas for this?"

"There are many lovely girls in Zuimeng Garden. If I want, the guards around Wu Han won't be able to get out of bed."

"If that's the case, then it's easy."

"Junior sister, when do you think we can start?"

"There's nothing to do anyway, so let's do it tomorrow night."

"How confident are you, Junior Sister?"

"It's hard to say how sure it is, but this matter concerns my life and property, so I will definitely do it perfectly. Brother, just wait for good news. But after the matter is done, don't forget to give me some benefits."

"That's natural!"

At this point, Tang Wanyu blinked, smiled and said, "Then Junior Sister will go back and make arrangements. Senior Brother, take care of yourself."

"Take care, Junior Sister."

Tang Wanyu stood up, a smile on her lips, and walked away holding her pipe.

Deng Quanchang looked at her back until she turned around and disappeared. Then he seemed to be relieved and finally sat down on the chair.

My junior sister is very thoughtful, so if I leave this matter to her, it should be successful.
