Rebellious Contract Beast

This sudden sound startled everyone in the reception courtyard. The next second, hundreds of thousands of eyes looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Yun'er, what are you doing!"

"Aunt, I went to give a gift to uncle."

"Why at this time..."

"It's okay, aunt."

Without waiting for He Jian Yanqiu to say anything, He Jian Chuyun had already stood up and walked quickly towards the direction where the Zhu family and the Xu family were confronting each other.

Seeing her coming, Zhu Jianqing frowned slightly.

"Are you the eldest daughter from the Tsurumi family?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Did you make that sound just now?"

"Yes."

"what are you up to?"

"It's like this, uncle. I learned that it's your birthday today, so your niece has specially prepared a gift for you. Please accept it." As she said that, He Jian Chuyun took out the box that Qu Xiangui had given her and handed it over.

Zhu Jianqing took a look and was not happy about it. Instead, he shouted angrily: "This is simply nonsense!"

"Uncle..."

"Get off here!"

"Uncle, you'd better open it and take a look. Maybe it will make you feel happier." He Jian Chu Yun blinked. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the other party reaching out to knock the box away from her. She reacted quickly and took a step back.

At this time, Chen Yuanfeng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Master Zhu, this is at least a token of our appreciation. How about opening it and taking a look as the girl wishes?"

Zhu Jianqing looked at Chen Yuanfeng with cold eyes. For a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party's words were sincere or sarcastic.

However, the head of the Luo family obviously misunderstood. After Chen Yuanfeng finished speaking, he said in a sarcastic tone: "Yes, Master Zhu, you'd better open it and take a look. After a while, you may not have this opportunity anymore."

The head of the Xu family also said: "Master Zhu, this little girl is very filial, you must not let her down."

At this time, Zhu Jianqing's face couldn't be any darker, but since everyone around him said so, he could only suppress his anger, stretched out his hand, and said impatiently: "Give it to me."

"Uncle, do you want to see what's inside first?"

"Do you really have to let me see it?"

"correct."

"Okay, after I take a look, you should leave immediately and don't get involved here."

"Okay!" He Jianchuyun nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then pushed the lock of the box and opened it.

Zhu Jianqing originally thought that there was a priceless piece of jade in the box or perhaps a magical weapon with unexpected effects, but when he saw what was in the box, he was surprised.

At the same time, after Xu Sihai and others saw clearly what was in the box, they suddenly exclaimed in their hearts.

"It's the Photo Stone!"

"Why did Tsurumi Hatsuun give this thing?"

"Master, I have a bad feeling in my heart."

"..."

The photo stone is gray-yellow in color, the size of a fist, and has a very irregular shape. There is a hole at each end, one side is larger than the other, and the middle is hollow. Its function is very simple, which is to record what is happening now. It is also the only thing Shen Yi can find that can be used as a video recorder.

This thing is not that rare, but there are not many of them either. Shen Yi bought it from a merchant in the ghost market for nearly three thousand taels of silver.

Its real value is certainly not the three thousand taels of silver, but what is recorded in it.

It is rare to see people using the Image Stone among the common people. Such things are worth thousands of taels of silver, so of course they should be put to good use. Therefore, they are only often seen in those large sects. The biggest function of the Image Stone for practitioners is to record the demonstration of some training methods, which can be recorded for repeated observation in the future.

Shen Yi used it to record the entire crime process.

What made him want to complain was that this photo stone was almost a disposable item. Once you used it to record a video, you would have to wait for a while before you could use it again if you wanted to use it again. The image recorded in the photo stone had to be worn away by time.

As for how long you have to wait, it is up to the user to decide, it may be longer or shorter. If the last time you used the Photo Stone, you only recorded a few seconds of image, then you may only have to wait for one or two months. But if the recorded image is too long, you may have to wait a thousand years before the Photo Stone's CD can be transferred.

Shen Yi bought this photo-recording stone, but considering the length of the images recorded in it, he would probably have to wait hundreds of years before he could use it again.

A disposable video recorder costs less than three thousand taels of silver per recording. What are you waiting for? You deserve it!

Back to the point, the moment they saw the photo stone, all the Xu family members present began to feel uneasy.

If someone else had given the stone, it would be fine, as it might have recorded some rare and precious skills, but it was Hatsuun Tsurumi who gave it to them, and it happened just a second before the two sides were about to fight. It was hard not to think too much.

Feeling something was wrong, Xu Sihai immediately said to Zhu Jianqing: "Master Zhu, what's so good about a piece of photo stone? Why don't we all calm down and have a good talk about this..."

It would have been better if Xu Sihai didn't say anything. As soon as he started talking, Zhu Jianqing didn't even wait for him to finish his words. He directly took out the photo stone, snorted coldly, and then activated the spiritual power in his body and injected it into the photo stone.

Soon, the bumpy surface of the Liuying Stone Pit began to emit an orange-red light, and was lifted up by an invisible force, floating upwards little by little.

"open!"

Following a low shout from Zhu Jianqing, the image stone turned a circle in the air, and the end with the small hole tilted slightly downward. Then the orange-red light began to converge and turned into a beam of light that shot out from the small hole. The beam of light went from thin to thick and completely scattered, actually projecting a picture in the air.

"This is?"

Everyone in the reception courtyard looked over with curiosity on their faces.

The image in the projection was a little dark, but people could still barely see clearly that it was a street. The photo stone seemed to be hung around someone's neck. The image was shaking and slowly moving forward.

The sounds of chaotic footsteps and clothes rubbing against the surface of the stone continued to ring out. Not long after, a male voice rang out, "Leader, turn the corner ahead and you'll reach Wangxia Courtyard."

"Brothers, get your weapons ready. Today, we must succeed and not fail!"

"Yes!"

"Leader! We're here!"

"Shh~ Keep your voice down so the people inside don't hear you."

"Yeah."

"How do we get in?"

"You, you, and the one over there, lend a hand and send three people in to check out the situation first."

"Ok!"

"When you're ready, step on it."

"Three, two, one, go!"

"Have you entered yet?"

"Leader, we're in, there's not many people here."

"Open the door and let us go in."

Seeing the gate of Wangxia Court being opened in the picture, many people's hearts were in their throats. There was silence all around and no one dared to speak, but everyone basically guessed that those people wearing the uniforms of Tiger Gang disciples in the picture were probably the murderers of the Wu family!

Zhu Jianqing also said nothing, but compared to before, his expression was not as gloomy, instead he looked at the image transmitted by the image stone with his eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something. The scene continued.

"Leader, what should we do next?"

"Over there, let's go. The man the boss wants us to kill lives in a room on the second floor."

"Brothers, for the sake of one thousand taels of silver, we cannot let the master down!"

"rush!"

"..."

"who!"

"The person who wants your life!"

"Knowing my master...ah!"

"No!"

Along with the sound of the door being kicked open, the image projected by the shadow stone became chaotic, with swords and sabers flashing. All the Wu family servants guarding the first floor were killed, and blood was all over the ground.

"Look around to see if there are any other people around. If anyone sees us, don't leave any alive!"

"Yes!"

"Brothers, come this way."

"Don't worry, our boss has already cleared most of the people here, so there shouldn't be many people here."

"Be careful, if we are seen by others, we will die miserably!"

"..."

"Hey, leader, what are you wearing around your neck? Why is it glowing? Why didn't I see you wearing this just now?"

"This is a talisman given by my family. It is for safety. I don't know what it is made of, but it glows at night."

"..."

"Who exactly are we going to kill? The Xu family is so cautious."

"I don't know either, but judging from the situation, the person we want to kill might be someone powerful. Sigh~ It's better not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much will not benefit us."

"Speaking of this, I have a brother who is a key member of the Central Hall. I heard him say that the person we want to kill seems to be the guest that Zuimeng Garden has been hosting a banquet for some time."

"Did your brother tell us who he was?"

"He doesn't know either. We are only responsible for doing the job, and then the Tiger Gang will take the blame. Otherwise, why would we wear these clothes?"

"Yes, if that person is really someone powerful, then the Tiger Gang will be in big trouble."

"What does this have to do with us? Those ruffians from the Tiger Gang have long disliked them!"

"Alright, shut up and get back to work..."

"..."

"Get out...get out! Don't bother me! I want a woman...a woman..."

"Is it him? Take out the portrait and compare it."

"..."

"Then let's do it now!"

"Wait first!"

"Well, why is that?"

"Leader, aren't we killing people and dumping bodies? What does it mean to leave this dead body here?"

"Listen to my instructions. You, and you, start with the two of you. Take off all the clothes and accessories on that old man! This old guy likes to play with women. Anyway, he will die in our hands today, so why not let him have a taste of being played with before he dies, let him be played with by a dead person. Go over there and get some candles to drip on him, and pose in a nicer position for me. Also, don't kill this old guy right away, take your time! Just torture him to death!"

"Leader, isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"

"Just do what I say. In the end, it's the Tiger Gang that suffers, isn't it?"

"That's true, but it's a bit too much..."

"Too much? This guy has ruined countless girls in Zuimeng Garden. Don't you know that?"

"This one……"

"God will take its course, and no one will be spared! Don't forget, our boss is also a woman. That bastard has ruined so many good girls, so naturally there will be people who can't stand it. This is not only the boss's arrangement, we are also getting rid of harm for the people! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes! Get rid of this evil for the people!"

"People from harm!"

The subsequent scenes were so disgusting that many people almost vomited what they had just eaten, but many others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How big a grudge must one have to have to insult someone like this?
Further on, the scene shows a loud roar from the Tiger Gang disciples, and the stone lions at the door are smashed into the main hall. The members of the Pillow Knife Society who are disguised as Tiger Gang disciples flee in panic. The scene ends, and the beam of light shot out from the photo stone disappears and falls back into Zhu Jianqing's hands.

The entire video lasted for more than twenty minutes. After watching it, the faces of the two Wu family guards turned as black as the bottom of a pot. They originally thought that their master was assassinated by the Zhu family, and that the Xu family was the kind people who spared no effort to help them. However, they now realized that the Xu family was the real murderer!

At this time, the faces of the Xu family members had already turned pale, especially Xu Sihai, who almost fell to the ground and staggered back several steps before he stood firm.

Why would someone use a photo stone to record what was happening at the time?
Who uses the Photo Stone?
The leader once said that the leader is also a woman. Among the five leaders of the Pillow Blade Society, who else could be a woman except Tang Wanyu?

The scene presented shows that the assassination of Wu Han was planned by Tang Wanyu.

But I clearly handed it over to Deng Quanchang!

What's the matter?

Xu Sihai couldn't figure it out. His mind was in a mess, with fear, anxiety and panic rising and falling in his heart. In the distance, Deng Quanchang looked like the Xu family. His face had lost all color. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground. The men next to him looked at him, but no one dared to lend a hand to help him.

The gift that He Jianchuyun gave to Zhu Jianqing was too much for the Xu family.

When Xu Sihai came to his senses, he immediately turned to look at the two guards with a strange look on his face.

At this moment, the positions of the Xu family and the Zhu family changed drastically.

Zhu Jianqing no longer had the impatience he had before. He slowly put away the photo stone and said to the head of the Xu family with a sarcastic smile, "What a good trick to frame someone! I was wondering, how could a small group of tigers dare to assassinate someone from the Wu family? It turns out that it was your Xu family who did it!"

"Zhu Jianqing! Stop talking nonsense! My Xu family is on good terms with Wu Han, how could we harm his life?"

"Oh! Patriarch Xu, please stop making excuses. Everyone has seen what is recorded in the image stone with their own eyes. It's useless for you to make excuses!"

"..."

While the two family heads were arguing, Wu Han's two guards came to their senses and found that there was something wrong with the Xu family's eyes. They did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly rushed towards the Zhu family opposite.

"Wait a minute..." Someone from the Xu family wanted to stop them, but the Zhu family members were not there to just sit there and do nothing. As soon as the other party made a move, they followed suit.

"Master Zhu, our previous remarks offended you, but we now recognize our mistakes. Please be magnanimous and lend us a helping hand. When we return to Bilingxu, we will never forget the Zhu family's life-saving grace!"

"Don't worry, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I, Zhu, am not a petty person. The Zhu family will never sit idly by and watch such a terrible thing happen!"
