Rebellious Contract Beast

After chatting with Wu Gong and others for a while and confirming the details, Shen Yi did not stay here for too long. He quickly opened the secret compartment, crawled into the secret passage and left.

Back in the carriage, Shen Yi went straight into He Jianchuyun's consciousness space.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Where else can I go? Home, of course."

"You're not going to Bixiao Tower? Are you not worried about the Tianxia Group anymore?"

"Qu Xiangui is the one who is taking care of things. He doesn't need me."

"You are a manager anyway, why do you push everything onto others?"

"I've already said that Qu Xiangui is worried about it, and there's nothing fun over there, so why should I suffer there?"

"But only by enduring hardships can one become a superior person?"

"Come on, according to the principle of like replenishes like, you can't become a superior person by suffering, but you can become a superior person by eating people's talents."

"What kind of crooked logic is this..." He Jianchuyun rolled her eyes and was speechless. However, Shen Yi himself didn't care, so she didn't bother to care. Anyway, Tianxiaren Group was founded by Shen Yi himself, so it was up to him to decide what to do.

In fact, the current Tianxiaren Group is still just a prototype. After all, the insurance business has not yet been launched, and it is not the right time to discuss cooperation with the Wu family or the Lin family. What Qu Xiangui needs to do is a simple division of labor and establish the upper and lower classes within the Tianxiaren Group. This is not a difficult task, and it is impossible to fail.

If Qu Xiangui could mess up such a simple matter, Shen Yi would have to consider whether to change someone.

"let's go."

"Okay lady."

The carriage moved forward steadily, and Shen Yi chatted with He Jianchuyun from time to time.

Thinking that there would be nothing to do when he returned to Mingyan Courtyard, and that he had just gotten out for once, He Jianchuyun did not let the coachman go back to Zhu Mansion directly, but asked him to drive the carriage around the city to see if there was anything fun or interesting to see, so that it would not be too late to go back later.

However, when entering the southern part of the city, she and Shen Yi saw a gang fight, which was actually a conflict between members of the Pillow Knife Society and the Tiger Gang. The leaders of the Tiger Gang were the two hall masters Wu Sheng and Ye Baocun. Wu Sheng was shouting something loudly, and then set fire to one of the places of the Pillow Knife Society.

"Good fellow, you are indeed from Black Snake Town, coming out to kill and burn people in broad daylight."

"Uh... aren't Wu Gong and the others being a little too reckless?"

"Don't worry about that. I know that restaurant. It belongs to the Pillow Blade Society and is called Furongfang. Other than that, it doesn't have much background and it doesn't belong to the Xu family. If it burns down, then it burns down. At most, we can talk to the people from the City Guards."

"I think you should remind Wu Gong to be more restrained, otherwise he will get into trouble sooner or later."

"Okay, but this is considered light. You saw Zhu Qingtian demolishing the building in the Evil Tiger Hall with his Dharma body."

"Yeah, but it's always better to be careful."

……

Boom boom boom!
"Is Master Yan Tao in there?"

"Who is outside?"

"I want to see Master Yan Tao, ask him to come out for a moment."

"How can our young master be seen by ordinary people? Hurry up and tell us your name! We don't have time to waste on you."

Inside the Zhu family mansion, the two guards guarding behind the gate of Zhu Yantao's house looked impatient. Outside the door, Duan Huai, along with a few members of the Tiger Gang, had even more impatient expressions on their faces.

"Fuck you! You are just a few gatekeepers, what a bullshit! I gave you face, right? Go tell Zhu Yantao that if he doesn't come again, I will take my people away, and don't fucking regret it then!"

Duan Huai's words were very impolite and contained a strong threat. If it were an ordinary person, they would not dare to say such words in Zhu Mansion even if they were given a hundred times the courage.

However, these threatening words had an unexpected effect at this moment. After hearing them, the guard behind the door fell silent for some unknown reason.

Duan Huai and his companions waited for a short while before the gate was soon opened. Zhu Yantao came out under the protection of several guards. He looked at Duan Huai with a cold face and asked, "Who are you?"

"Are you Zhu Yantao?"

"I'm."

"That's good. My name is Duan Huai, and I'm the current leader of the Fuhu Hall of the Tiger Gang."

"The Tiger Gang!?"

"Correct."

"You said you were the leader of Fuhu Hall, but I clearly remember that Qu Xiangui was..."

"The brother you mentioned is now the leader of the Black Tiger Hall. I have only been the leader of the Subduing Tiger Hall for a few days. He used to be a retainer of my young lady. You should know him."

"Hmm?" Zhu Yantao didn't listen carefully to the first half of Duan Huai's sentence, but he heard the second half clearly and suddenly became alert.

"I see. So what does Hall Master Duan want to see me for?"

"I asked my young lady to tell you to give you a few words."

"This is not a good place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."

"No need. I still have a lot of things to do. Let's just talk about it here."

"Then please speak, Master Duan." Zhu Yantao looked at Duan Huai expectantly, but the other party opened his mouth but did not speak directly. Instead, he asked with a strange look on his face: "Master Yantao, are you sure you want the people around you to listen together?"

Zhu Yantao reacted and quickly waved his hand to drive away the guards around him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, move away."

"Master, this won't do. What if he comes..."

"I know what I am doing, and you don't need to interfere. Go away!"

These guards were unable to persuade Zhu Yantao, so they had no choice but to walk away a little, but their eyes were still fixed on this side from a distance.

Afraid that Duan Huai would do something wrong.

Duan Huai saw this and asked his men to leave. He then slowly said, "It's like this. My young lady read your...letter and thought you were a good person..."

"Really?" Zhu Yantao suddenly became excited and interrupted Duan Huai without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"How could it be false? But just listen to what I have to say, don't be anxious."

"Yes, yes! So what did your young lady say?"

"She said you're a pretty good person, so she decided to test you first."

"What test? How to test?" "Well... you know, for a woman, choosing a good husband is the most important thing in her life. After all, it is a lifelong thing, so marriage is not a joke."

"Yes, yes! That makes sense!"

"As for how my lady is going to test you, it's simple. First of all, it's an attitude."

"What attitude?"

"The so-called attitude can be big or small, what matters is how much you can give to my lady."

"As long as your young lady is willing, I will pay whatever I want!"

"Well, my lady said that if you are willing to give her fifty taels of gold every day for forty-nine days, my lady... will allow you to be her husband."

"Gold?" Looking at the five fingers extended by Duan Huai, Zhu Yantao was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that He Jianchuyun's test would be elegant, obscure, or inexplicable, but he didn't expect it to be so straightforward. Gold?
He felt that something was wrong. After all, the impression that Tsurumi Hatsuyun gave her was not that of a vulgar woman obsessed with money, but rather a fairy who was perfect in every aspect and untainted by the mundane world. Asking for gold was a bit...not in line with the style.

But it was difficult for him to refuse. If the test that Tsurumi Hatsuyun gave him was really as he imagined, it might be difficult to complete. If he really wanted gold, although it would still be difficult, but if he gritted his teeth, he should be able to... be satisfied, right?

Zhu Yantao wasn't quite sure, but he still felt something was wrong.

"How about it?"

"Okay, but...I need to think about it."

"We will give you enough time to think about it slowly. The message has been conveyed, so I will leave first."

"Master Duan, take care."

"..."

After a brief thought, Zhu Yantao agreed.

To die under the peonies is to be a ghost.

Women like Tsurumi Hatsuun are rare in the world. If you can marry her, it will be worth spending any amount of money.

But he had to find out the details of this pregnancy first, and then decide what to do.

After all, fifty taels of gold a day would be more than two thousand four hundred taels of gold in forty-nine days. This was not something that ordinary people could come up with. Even for Zhu Yantao, it was very difficult to collect so much gold.

……

"And then what, they burned down Furongfang?"

"Yes, it is."

Inside the living room of a villa in Zuimeng Garden, the atmosphere was extremely cold at this moment.

Furongfang, from the outside, looks like a proper restaurant, but secretly, it runs all kinds of shameful businesses. Most of the women inside were abducted from other places. They couldn't find their relatives and had nowhere to go, so they were forced to make a living inside and satisfy all kinds of customers.

In addition, although Furongfang's spending power cannot be compared with Zuimengyuan, the scale of Furongfang is more exaggerated than Zuimengyuan, so the customers entering it have more choices. Because of this, Furongfang has a lot of monthly revenue, and it is completely an industry of the Zhendao Society.

Zhu Qingtian took the position of the head of the Pillow Blade Society, so naturally Furongfang was also his. With an industry like Furongfang, apart from other things, the fact that he could just sit there and make money on weekdays was better than working hard robbing houses outside.

But it just so happened that such a money-making machine was set on fire by the members of the Tiger Gang yesterday, and all the gold, silver and jewelry inside were snatched away, leaving nothing for themselves.

What’s even more infuriating is that my subordinates only told me about such a big thing today!
Because of this, Zhu Qingtian, who was sitting on the king's chair, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and the murderous intent emanating from his body almost became material.

The subordinate kneeling on the ground below was shaking like a sieve. He felt the strong murderous aura coming from Zhu Qingtian, and the fear in his heart became increasingly difficult to control.

The shadow of death loomed in his heart. From the time he came in and knelt on the ground until now, he felt as if hundreds of years had passed.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he raised his head with difficulty, trembling lips, and stammered, "Master, Master..."

Today may very well be the day of my death, and compared to death itself, waiting for death is the most painful.

As expected, as his voice rang out, Zhu Qingtian raised his eyes, and the murderous aura on his body reached its peak in an instant. The terrifying spiritual power began to gather in his palms. Zhu Qingtian's aura locked onto him, without a doubt that as long as Zhu Qingtian made a move, he would surely die.

At this time, the member of the Pillow Blade Society had closed his eyes, but to his surprise, after four or five seconds, he did not feel anything unusual. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the murderous aura on Zhu Qingtian's body had dissipated, and the spiritual power gathered in his palms had also been restrained. He looked at the outside of the door with a thoughtful look on his face.

He thought back to the time he had been in the Pillow Sword Society. All his subordinates who had reported bad news to him were killed by him, and even those who were not dead were seriously injured and difficult to treat.

Although Zhu Qingtian is bloodthirsty, he is not a fool. He knows very well that if this continues, it won't be long before any of his men dare to report news to him.

Furongfang was burned to ashes, and I only found out about it the next day. This was the consequence.

Because of this, he did not kill this subordinate and spared his life.

But I have to say, these people in the Pillow Blade Society are really useless. When I'm not around, nothing can be done.

As for the Zhonghu Gang, during the time when I took action to destroy the Zhonghu Gang, they were hiding their heads and showing their tails like a turtle. As soon as I stopped, they immediately became aggressive. They were really despicable.

Calculating the time, it should be almost there.

The reason why Zhu Qingtian stopped was not because he wanted to give the Tiger Gang more time, but because after destroying the Evil Tiger Hall, he killed a lot of people. Although the Xu family covered for him behind the scenes, it still caused dissatisfaction from the City Defense Department, so he behaved himself for a few days.

Now that the Tiger Gang has actually had their own Furongfang burned down, it's time to teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, the murderous aura in Zhu Qingtian began to boil again. Seeing this, the subordinates who had just raised their heads lowered their heads again and continued to tremble as before.

"You step back, tell the brothers below to prepare their weapons and follow me to the Tiger Gang!"

"Huh? The Grand Master... is going to take action himself?" The member of the Pillow Sword Society was stunned, obviously not reacting.

Zhu Qingtian didn't say anything, but just looked at him with cold eyes.

Seeing this, the other party didn't dare to say anything and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."

"Get out of here!"

"Ok!"

How could this member of the Pillow Blade Society who escaped death dare to stay any longer?

With a roar of anger from Zhu Qingtian, he stood up and crawled out the door.

After he left, Zhu Qingtian took out a weapon shaped like a mace. It was red and black all over, as if it had just been taken out of a pool of blood. Sharp spikes stood up on it, looking extremely ferocious.

This is a magic weapon, which was refined by a magic cultivator using the blood and soul bones of ninety-nine people who died unjustly. It is extremely sinister and evil. The moment it was taken out, the ominous aura lingering around it that made people shudder filled the entire living room.

"Hehe, old buddy, the King of Hell is going to take away a lot of people today, so I'll let you have a good meal!"

As if it understood Zhu Qingtian's words, the magic weapon began to tremble in his hand. Faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard all around, and the ominous atmosphere in the hall became even stronger.
