Rebellious Contract Beast

Wu Gong used a lot of force in this slap, which made Zhu Yixuan stop laughing on the spot. He turned his head 180 degrees and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, which contained a few teeth.

After the slap, his left cheek swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he ignored the pain and turned his head to face Wu Gong, shouting, "What do you mean!?"

Wu Gong laughed and waved his hand. An iron window behind him opened. From the secret room inside came the shouts of a young man and several women: "Dad! Save me! I don't want to die! Tell them quickly if you know anything! Please, Dad! Otherwise they will really kill me!"

"Husband..."

Upon hearing these voices, Zhu Yixuan's face suddenly turned ugly. The people locked in the secret room were his wife and children!
When Zhu Yixuan was young, he had fallen in love with a woman. This woman also had the surname Zhu and was undoubtedly a member of the Zhu family. Although she was not much older than him, in terms of seniority, the woman was of his grandfather's generation and he should call her aunt. He loved her to death, but due to ethical issues, he was unable to marry her in the end.

Maybe this is the reason why he is almost sixty years old and has never married or had children.

But it's not.

There is a saying that goes, people will always be trapped throughout their lives by things that they could not get when they were young. Zhu Yixuan is like this. He watched his beloved woman marry another man because of a family marriage. Even after decades, he still can't forget it.

This matter was also discovered after He Jian Yan Qiu deliberately sent people to inquire. Of course, the woman locked in the secret room at this time was not the aunt that Zhu Yixuan liked, but someone else, the daughter of his aunt...

If you can't get the woman you love, then get her daughter.

This is what Zhu Yixuan did, but the problem was that this kind of thing was still unethical. Once it was made public, no one could predict how many rumors would be stirred up. So for so many years, Zhu Yixuan had been raising the woman in a villa in the south of Jiangzhou City, and she also gave birth to a son for him.

It took him more than ten years to finally raise his offspring in secret. However, due to inbreeding, except for his youngest daughter, his eldest son and second daughter all had some problems.

The former had a skin disease, which caused his skin to peel off from time to time and was extremely itchy, and would break if scratched. Fortunately, with the treatment of a doctor and the help of elixirs, the symptoms were not as serious as they were at the beginning.

The main problem was his second daughter, who had deformed facial features, was extremely ugly, and also had some mental illness.

All of this was Zhu Yixuan's secret. No one else knew about it except him and the guard beside him. He never imagined that this matter would be dug out by the people from the Tiger Gang, and they even brought his wife and daughter along.

This is his Achilles' heel, especially his eldest son. Although he has some minor health problems, he has excellent talent for cultivation and has contracted a top-grade B-level life god. If he is trained well, it is not impossible for him to compete for the position of the head of the Zhu family in the future.

He placed all his hopes on his son, so even if he died, he could close his eyes peacefully.

But now, the Tiger Gang has strangled this hope. How can he not panic?
It was unknown when he would be able to leave here. Who knew what the Tiger Gang would do to them? With Wu Gong's cruel methods, it was possible that the bodies skinned and hung on the street the next day would be his wife and children!
Hearing the cries of his wife and son coming from the secret room, his facial features almost twisted and his body straightened up all of a sudden.

"You...you, you let them go! This has nothing to do with them!"

"Let him go? Of course I will, but that depends on your performance. If you don't perform well, hehehe..." When Wu Gong said this, he suddenly grinned grimly, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that made people tremble in their hearts.

He moved his head closer, his mouth opening and closing, as if a devil from hell was whispering, and every word he said was wildly exciting Zhu Yixuan's nerves.

"I will chop your son into pieces and make you eat his meat. As for your wife and two daughters, guess what I will do to them."

"No! Absolutely not! Wu Gong! Let them go!"

"You are a member of the Zhu family, but don't forget that your woman and those three bastards are not. I killed them all, and no one can stop me. Brothers, don't you agree?"

Wu Gong suddenly became louder as he was speaking. Upon hearing this, Duan Huai and others nearby laughed and joined in.

"that is!"

"Master Gong! That woman has such delicate skin and tender flesh! I have been horny and thirsty for a long time!"

"No matter how hungry and thirsty you are, bear it! Good things must come first, Master Gong!"

"Hahaha!"

"..."

"I won't let you do this! Wu Gong, if you dare to touch a hair on their head, the Zhu family will not let you go!"

"Zhu family?" Wu Gong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Duan Huai. He seemed to understand something, and turned around and they laughed even louder.

Zhang Wenyuan held his stomach and pointed at Zhu Yixuan, laughing so hard that he was out of breath, and said, "Hahahaha, this idiot, he actually thought we tied him up, hahaha!"

"Ha! If the Zhu family still supports you, do you think you will still be here?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Yixuan was a little dazed when he saw this scene, and Wu Gong on the opposite side laughed even more boldly. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but stab the black ghost-head knife into the ground and said, "You idiot, I'm telling you the truth. Since the mistress of the Zhu family dared to touch you, I think the head of the Zhu family also nodded. Do you still think the Zhu family can help you now?"

"No...impossible!"

"Stop yelling. My patience is limited. Let's get down to business. Who is that assassin? What's his background? Just answer whatever I ask you. If you don't answer even once, I'll chop off their hands!"

"What exactly do you want to ask!" Zhu Yixuan was about to collapse at this moment. In his eyes, Wu Gong and the others were no longer human beings, but devils standing in front of him, looking at him greedily and bloodthirstily!
"That assassin..."

"Which assassin!"

"You didn't hear it just now, right? Fine, let's say it again. Half a month ago, an assassin from the Lonely Alliance sneaked into the Zhu Mansion and tried to assassinate my young lady. I want to know who he is and what his background is."

"I...I don't know!" Zhu Yixuan shook his head.

When Wu Gong heard this, he immediately threw his hand back. Seeing this, Ye Baocun, who was standing next to him, pulled out a hand from the secret room and slashed at him without saying a word.

Ah!
Accompanied by a young man's heart-wrenching scream, his four fingers were chopped off.

"Do you know now?"

"You guys... I really don't know! I'm not a steward in the Lonely Alliance, how would I know who took the job?"

"is it?"

"It's absolutely true! If I tell even a single lie, I will die a miserable death! You can chop me up or kill me as you please!"

Wu Gong was silent for a moment, but in fact, he asked Shen Yi in the altar space in his heart: "Xuan Li, what this grandson said doesn't seem to be a lie, what should we do next?"

Shen Yi began to think.

Because he knew long ago that Zhu Yixuan had a connection with the Lone Guest Alliance, Shen Yi has been on guard ever since he kicked him out of the Tiger Gang. He didn't know when Zhu Yixuan would use this connection, but about four months have passed and no assassins from the Lone Guest Alliance have come to his door. Recently, the Lone Guest Alliance has started to make trouble. First of all, he has a question, is the Lone Guest Alliance so inefficient?
It took so long to prepare to kill someone.

Based on this, Shen Yi quickly gave instructions.

"Ask him when he contacted the Lonely Alliance."

"In that case, well, let me ask you, when did you get in touch with the Lonely Alliance?"

"This... was about half a year ago."

"Half a year? It took them so long to send someone to do the work?" "How should I know? When I approached them, they said they would help me settle the matter as soon as possible. As a result, I waited for so long. I thought they would break their promise, but I didn't expect that they would suddenly send someone to find me a month ago..."

"What did they tell you?"

"They apologized to me and said that they were delayed because of some things. However, in order to kill He Jian Chu Yun, they had to let me help them gain a foothold in Jiangzhou City. After that, they would take action."

"Interesting. You have a grudge against me, but instead of looking for someone to kill me, why are you targeting the little girl?"

"Little girl?"

"That's my lady."

"Hehe, cough, cough..." Zhu Yixuan laughed inexplicably, but soon stopped. He looked at Wu Gong's strange expression and said, "Everyone in Jiangzhou knows that the current Tiger Gang and He Jianchuyun are of the same mind. Since she came, the Tiger Gang has changed. She is the one in control behind the scenes. Even if she is not the one in control, her say in the Tiger Gang is definitely not low. What's the point of killing you? Can't she just support another one?"

"Uh..." Shen Yi shook his head. In fact, it was not surprising that Zhu Yixuan could guess all this.

Originally, the Zhonghu Gang and Luoxiangzui Winery were at odds, but ever since the Zhonghu Gang changed its leader, the relationship between the two sides has become ambiguous.

Moreover, during the time when he was the leader of the Tiger Gang and was handling its affairs, the old witch's carriage often drove out of the Zhu Residence and headed towards the Shen Mansion. Someone with a keen eye must have noticed it. Coupled with the fact that the leader of the Tiger Gang never showed up, all these suspicious points made it hard not to think too much and suspect something.

From Zhu Yixuan's perspective, with all these anomalies in front of him, killing the leader of the Tiger Gang would only be a temporary solution, while killing He Jianchuyun would solve all the problems once and for all.

"Xuan Li, then what do you ask?"

"Ask him how he came into contact with the Lonely Alliance."

"When did you start dealing with the Lonely Alliance?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yixuan struggled for a moment, but found that he could not struggle anymore. His face showed a look of reminiscence again, and he quickly replied: "Twenty years ago, I went to Pingzhou for the Zhu family to do business. On the way, I saw someone being captured by bandits, so I asked someone to rescue him. Afterwards, I drank and chatted with him, and then I learned that he was a deacon in the Lonely Guest Alliance."

"What's his name?"

"His name is Li Sanye."

"Is this Li Sanye the one who came to Jiangzhou to work for the Lonely Guest Alliance?"

"No."

"No?" Wu Gong and Shen Yi were both stunned for a moment, but soon, Shen Yi asked Wu Gong to ask Zhu Yixuan: "If not him, who is he? Please tell me in detail!"

"The one who came to Jiangzhou City is an elder of the Lonely Guest Alliance. I find it strange, since this matter can be solved by just one deacon... I think the Lonely Guest Alliance has other intentions. If you want to know who the assassin who sneaked into Zhu's house that day was, maybe you can ask that elder what he can find out."

"You don't need to remind me of this. Let me ask you again, he is the current owner of the rice shop on Huaxin Street, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"How much do you know about this Lonely Alliance?"

"I... I don't know much. He was wearing a mask when I met him. I only know that he is a man and his cultivation is not high, about the same as mine, not even at the spiritual level."

"Have you met him?"

"Yeah."

"What else did he say to you?"

"He didn't say anything except asking me to help him do something and promise to help me kill Tsurumi Hatsuun after I was done."

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"..." Wu Gong stopped talking again.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhu Yixuan asked carefully: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"I have sent a lot of people to watch the rice shop on Huaxin Street, but they are all servants. Since the elder of the Lonely Guest Alliance is now the owner of the rice shop, let me ask you, when does he usually go to the rice shop?"

"How would I know? I'm not familiar with the elder, so why would I let someone keep an eye on him every day?"

"What you mean is that you don't know where to find this elder? In that case, I don't think you are of any use!" Wu Gong suddenly grinned, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Yixuan panicked and quickly shouted, "Wait! I'm useful! I'm useful! Don't mess around!"

"Then why don't you tell me where you are useful?"

"You are looking for the elder, right? Although I don't know where he is, I know a place he often goes to."

"Where?"

"Two miles north of the city, there is a horse farm. On the surface, it sells horses, but in fact, it is a black workshop! I heard that the owner of the horse farm is acquainted with the elder of the Lonely Guest Alliance, and they have a close relationship. He often goes there to take a look. You can also send someone over there, and you should be able to find some clues!"

"that's it?"

"No, no, no. As long as you release me, my wife and children, I promise that I will go to see the elder and ask him to withdraw the reward. In this way, your young lady will not be assassinated by the Lonely Alliance assassins again. How do you think?"

"Haha!" Wu Gong couldn't help but laugh and cursed, "I was damn right to say you're an idiot. Do you really think my lady cares about those rubbish sent by the Lonely Guest Alliance?"

"What do you mean?"

"A few nights ago, the Lonely Alliance sent five people, three of whom were spiritual masters. But guess what happened? Three of the five died and one was injured. They fled in defeat! Hahahaha!"

"How can this be."

"My young lady said that she wanted to see how many spiritual masters she could kill in the Lonely Alliance. But if you dare to ask someone to kill my young lady, I think you are tired of living!" Wu Gong grinned and suddenly picked up his ghost-head knife from the ground. Seeing this, Zhu Yixuan's whole body tensed up and he closed his eyes subconsciously, his heart full of despair.

But after two seconds, he opened his eyes in confusion, having not felt any pain. He saw Wu Gong carrying the knife on his shoulder and laughed, "Look how scared this guy is! He almost peed his pants, hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!" The people around also laughed. After they finished laughing, Wu Gong said, "Since you answered the questions honestly, I'm kind-hearted. I'll spare your life! You can go back and be intimate with your wife!"

"..."
