Rebellious Contract Beast

"Anything else you want to say?"

"Have."

"What is it?"

"Do you still remember the horse farm that Zhu Yixuan mentioned?"

"Why don't you remember? And then what?"

"The boss sent someone to check out the nearby farmer's market. The horse farm is not big, but there are many people coming in and out, and they even have some private soldiers."

"You have private soldiers...How many private soldiers do you have?"

"There are about 500 people. There are too many guards. If the brothers go in and do nothing, they will easily be suspected. The other person is the owner of the horse farm. His surname is Han, Han Guishan. We originally wanted to kidnap him, but this bastard is acquainted with many big shots in the city and has strong connections. If we kidnap him randomly, it will probably cause a lot of trouble."

"Wow, not only do you guys know how to find out the details before doing anything that will cause trouble, you've made great progress!"

Wu Sheng glanced at him. When he and Wu Gong were fighting for territory in Black Snake Town, he was the one who specifically scouted the area. He was very good at these things, which was why Wu Gong gave him the position of leader of the Ghost Tiger Hall.

He took Shen Yi's ridicule as the other party not understanding them brothers.

"Don't talk nonsense. Give me some advice. What should I do?"

"You mean you can't be sure who the elder of the Lonely Alliance is now?"

"Yes! There is one more thing I want to tell you. The day before yesterday, Zhu Yixuan went to see the boss."

"Why did he meet Wu Gong?"

"He just said one thing. After we released him, he went to find the elder of the Lonely Alliance the next day and said that he would not kill the little girl anymore and would withdraw the reward."

"What was the result? Didn't work?"

"Of course it didn't work. If it had worked, I wouldn't be telling you this. But from what Zhu Yixuan said, you and the little girl killed too many Xuan-level masters of the Lonely Alliance. Now it's not just a matter between the little girl and Zhu Yixuan. The Lonely Alliance won't give up until the little girl is killed."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and a hint of coldness flashed in his pupils.

The Lonely Alliance is so unreasonable. They send assassins to kill people, and they don't even allow the targets to resist?
If I don't resist, am I just waiting for them to cut my neck with a knife?
However, it’s good that they are unwilling to give up the idea of ​​assassinating the old witch, so that their methods won’t be in vain.

Soon Shen Yi asked: "Did Zhu Yixuan find out anything?"

"That Lonely Alliance elder doesn't seem to have a nose."

"What?"

"Zhu Yixuan said that he overheard that the Lonely Alliance elder was also an assassin working for the Lonely Alliance in the early years. But one time he failed and was caught red-handed. Although he escaped in the end, people called those assassins the noseless man. I think the people who caught him wanted to make him a real noseless person, so they cut off his nose with a knife."

"Tsk, that's interesting."

"It's because his nose was cut off that this Lonely Alliance elder has been wearing a mask all the time and is too ashamed to see anyone. Moreover, Han Guishan has a close relationship with him, like a relationship between a younger generation and an elder. After the boss knew this, he planned to arrange a few people to go there the day after tomorrow night, kill a few people, and set a few fires."

Wu Sheng paused here and continued, "Since Han Guishan is the descendant of the Lonely League elder, the horse farm and the black workshop in the dark should be very important to him. If we set the fire and make things worse, we should be able to lure him out. Then we will know who this Lonely League elder is."

"That's a good idea. All right, you guys can do whatever you want. If you have nothing else to do, leave now. I'm going back now. Don't let the old witch see you."

"Wait, where's my reward?"

"Oh~ this." Shen Yi looked at Wu Sheng with disdain. He found that Wu Gong's men were all obsessed with money. They controlled such a big gang as the Tiger Gang, but they were still calculative about even a little money.

However, he just complained a few words in his heart and still paid the reward to Wu Sheng. However, he only sent one hundred taels of gold, so Shen Yi only gave him a few hundred taels of silver.

After Wu Sheng left, he closed the door, pretended nothing had happened, walked leisurely to the front, found a place where the sun could shine, spread out a blanket and prepared to take a nap.

But he had just closed his eyes for less than a minute when there was a heavy knock on the door from the front yard, followed by the faint voice of Zhu Yantao.

"Chu Yun! Chu Yun! Are you there? Come out!"

Hearing the noise, the two guards who were originally guarding the gate of the courtyard rushed out of the hall first, followed by Zhuhong and four maids.

"Who is it! Stop!"

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Zhu Yantao climbing over the gate, and the guards beside him did the same. After they all entered Mingyan Courtyard, they strode forward. Seeing two guards blocking their way, Zhu Yantao ignored them and stretched out his hand to push them away.

"Get out of my way!"

How could the two guards give way? He held his weapon in front of him and looked at Zhu Yantao and the guards he brought with him with an unfriendly look.

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, Shen Yi, who was at the back of the lobby, heard Zhu Yantao's voice, and his heart skipped a beat!
"Damn it! Why did he come to my house?"

He felt a little panicked, but the panic soon disappeared and turned into regret.

It seems that nothing will happen even if the truth is exposed. What can the old witch do to me?
I am her master!
It’s a pity that after the truth was exposed, I can no longer cheat gold from Zhu Yantao.

But he had already obtained a lot of gold. Zhu Yantao persisted for a total of thirty-two days, which means that he gave fifty taels of gold every day for thirty-two consecutive days, and Shen Yi had an extra one thousand six hundred taels of gold in his pocket.

More than one thousand taels of gold is no small sum.

Anyway, I've already taken advantage, so I might as well come clean.

Beautiful~
Thinking about this, Shen Yi began to feel indifferent and ran to the front yard to be a spectator, not minding the trouble.

Not long after, Tsurumi Hatsuyun also walked out of the hall, and the confrontation between Zhu Yantao and the two guards ended.

"Chuyun!"

Seeing Zhu Yantao, He Jianchuyun was puzzled at first, then frowned, and his expression turned into disgust. He asked in a cold voice: "What do you want to do here?"

Seeing that Chu Yun was talking to him, Zhu Yantao didn't know if he had misunderstood something. He became excited all of a sudden and said happily and stutteringly: "Chu, Chu Yun, I... I don't have any other intentions, I just want to come and see you..."

"You want to see me bringing people into my yard like this?"

"I……"

"Get out!" He Jianchuyun didn't give a good look at all. As soon as he finished speaking, the four maidservants around him immediately stepped forward, ready to blast out Zhu Yantao and the several guards he brought with him.

But he naturally refused, and as soon as Wu Bi came up, several people began to resist fiercely.

"Chu Yun! It's been so long! Why don't you agree to me?"

"I have tried my best for you! Just promise me! I will treat you well in the future!"

Zhu Yantao shouted loudly while pushing and shoving Wu Bi, his face flushed red.

But it would have been better if he hadn't said these words. As soon as he said them, He Jian Chu Yun's face darkened and his expression became more and more disgusted. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Why is this person so self-indulgent?"

"Miss." Seeing that He Jian Chu Yun had no feelings for Zhu Yan Tao, Xiang Tao immediately bowed to her and called out, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. He Jian Chu Yun didn't refuse, nodded, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you." Then she turned around and went back to the backyard.

"It's Miss."

Bo Nian and Xiang Tao acted quickly. As soon as the two powerful men at the peak of the consciousness level made a move, Zhu Yantao and his companions, who had been resisting stubbornly, were quickly defeated and thrown out of Mingyan Courtyard by the two men in a few moves, like catching chickens and throwing dogs.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Yantao was thrown seven or eight meters high and fell heavily to the ground. The pain from his butt made his expression distorted.

But when he felt the aura of Bo Nian and Xiang Tao, his face turned pale again when he was about to stay in Mingyan Courtyard.

"Know...know the level!"

There were two guards with the level of knowledge and cultivation beside He Jianchuyun. How could the guards who came with him dare to go up? They could only choose to help him up first.

Bo Nian and Xiang Tao on the opposite side each gave a threatening look, but without paying much attention, they quickly closed the door and went back.

"Master! Are you okay? Hurry up! Get up!"

"Go away!"

"Master!"

Zhu Yantao didn't want to give up just like that. Although he didn't dare to break in again, he still shouted outside the door: "Chu Yun! Why are you so heartless! Don't you understand? In my heart! There is only you!"

Such words attracted the attention of many maids from the Zhu family who passed by, but they did not dare to look at them for too long. After a quick glance, they covered their mouths and giggled as they left.

"Master! Otherwise, let's just give up. Miss Chu Yun seems to be insisting that you give her 2,400 taels of gold!"

"Master! Where can we get the remaining gold? Or just give up. I think Miss Qianzi from the Chen family is pretty good. Although she is not as pretty as He Jian Chuyun, she is not much worse!"

"Get out of here! I'm not a man who gives up halfway! She wants gold! Fine! I'll give it to her!"

Zhu Yantao did not listen to the advice of the guards around him at all. Instead, it aroused his rebellious nature. He gritted his teeth and said, then led his men towards the exit of Zhu Mansion. No one knew what he was going to do.

In Mingyan Courtyard, seeing that there were not many people around, he complained to Shen Yi: "That person is really weird. He asked me why I didn't agree to him right away. What did I agree to? It's weird..."

Shen Yi chuckled twice when he heard this, and said to the old witch with a nonchalant look, "Who cares about him? I think Wan Gaoyue wanted to trick you through Zhu Yantao, so he was fooled and said these inexplicable words."

"That should be the case... huh?" He Jianchuyun thought about it and nodded uncertainly. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of the reason.

In a place that she and Shen Yi could not see, Zhu Yantao got on the carriage and left the Zhu Mansion, heading towards the west of the city.

When we arrived at our destination, the sky darkened a little.

After getting off the carriage, there was a restaurant of average size in front of us. However, it was not a restaurant. There was a plaque with four characters written in a flamboyant style on it: "Jifu Gambling House".

Seeing their young master coming down, the two guards who followed him also got off the carriage. One of them said, "Young master, why are you here again? You don't want to..."

He stopped talking halfway, but from his uneasy tone one could guess what was going to happen next.

Zhu Yantao glanced at the guard who was speaking impatiently and shouted, "Shut up!"

Having said that, he walked towards Ji Fu's gambling house.

As soon as I entered, the guys and thugs on both sides came to greet me with a smile, and shouted in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, it's Mr. Zhu! I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"

"Mr. Zhu, you haven't been here for a long time. I thought you were having a great time in some high-class place and forgot about us. Come in, please!"

"Mr. Zhu, what do you want to play this time? I'll tell you something in secret. We just got a little girl here a while ago. She's absolutely a beauty. She's only seven years old. Many adults wanted to play with her, but Madam didn't want to give her to them. She kept her for you, Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu...why don't you give it a try?"

A gambling thug was talking excitedly nearby. Hearing this, Zhu Yantao paused for a moment, obviously a little moved. However, remembering the business at hand, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I came here this time, is there something important to do?"

"Important...important matter? What what important matter?" Zhu Yantao's words made the gambling thug stunned for a moment. What important matter could he come to this place to do? Could it be that... He had a bad idea in his mind, but fortunately it was just a false alarm. Soon Zhu Yantao's words reached his ears again.

"I want to borrow some gold from you, do you have any?"

"I see. But gold..."

"Answer me, is there gold or not?"

"Mr. Zhu, are you here to borrow some money?"

"No, I want gold, only gold!"

"Is that so..." The gambling thug thought for a moment, and soon said in embarrassment: "Mr. Zhu, gold is a rare commodity, most of which are in the hands of the real big shots. We have some in our gambling house, but not that much."

"how many?"

"I don't know about that." The two gambling thugs shook their heads together.

"Then who knows?"

"Of course it's Madam Li. Why don't we take you to see her? Mr. Zhu, you are a big customer of ours. Although we don't know what you need the gold for, our gambling house is still willing to help you with some small favors."

"Then take me to see her!" Zhu Yantao said without any hesitation.

The two gambling thugs looked at each other and said nothing. They took him directly to see the boss of Ji Fu Casino.

Nanny Li had already heard the purpose of his visit from her subordinates. She was not surprised to see Zhu Yantao coming in. She went straight to the point and asked, "I heard that Master Zhu wants gold?"

"Yes, how much gold do you have?"

"It depends on how much Master Zhu wants."

"Nine hundred taels."

"So many, is Mr. Zhu in a hurry?"

"It concerns this young master's lifelong affairs."

"It's urgent, but nine hundred taels is too much. There are only two hundred taels in the gambling house. The rest can be sent slowly from outside. Gold is not easily used for transactions, but for Mr. Zhu's sake, the gold can be borrowed. But what do you plan to use as collateral?"

Zhu Yantao clenched his fist. He only had over 600 taels of silver in his storage space. This was all his assets. He definitely couldn't exchange it for gold, but he still had something valuable...

He gritted his teeth, quickly made up his mind, and quickly took the item out of the storage space.

The guard who came with him suddenly changed his expression when he saw this thing, and hurriedly tried to stop it, shouting: "Master! No!"
