Rebellious Contract Beast
Chapter 500: Night of Fire
Zhu Yantao has already been possessed by the devil, his mind is full of love, how could he listen to what they say?
He ignored his guards, took out something from the storage space and threw it to Nanny Li opposite him.
This was a dark wooden box. When Li Mama saw it, her curiosity was aroused. She looked at Zhu Yantao and asked, "What's in the box?"
"Wouldn't you know if you open it and take a look?"
"Master! You can't! You are confused!"
"Shut up! It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs!"
"Master!"
The two guards almost cried. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Yantao frantically, hoping that he would change his mind.
But obviously, all this was in vain.
Nanny Li, who was sitting on the chair, quickly opened the box. What was inside was not some rare treasure, but some very ordinary things, only a land deed and a seal.
Picking up the deed and looking at the contents on it, at just one glance, Nanny Li's face became surprised and shocked.
Zhu Yantao actually used his house as collateral, and this house was not an ordinary house. Well, if it was placed in other places, this house would indeed be very ordinary, but the problem was that this house was located in the Zhu family mansion.
This is interesting.
Zhu Yantao was simply crazy. He mortgaged the Mei Se Xuan where he lived to a gambling house!
If she can’t pay back the gold by then, Mei Se Xuan will become hers!
No big family could accept the fact that the ownership of a house in the palace had become the property of an outsider.
If it were anyone else, no one would dare to let Zhu Yantao use the title deed of Meisexuan as collateral. Once Zhu Yantao failed to pay the money, the next day after Meisexuan belonged to him, the followers of the Zhu family would come to his house to kill him.
However, Zhu Yantao was clear about this. He wanted to use the deed of Mei Sexuan as collateral to borrow gold, so naturally he had to find a gambling house that had the ability to take over Mei Sexuan.
Apparently, Gifford's Casino has this ability.
Behind the Ji Fu Casino is the Jin Sha Gang. In terms of scale, the Jin Sha Gang is not even half the size of the Zhong Hu Gang, but in the west of the city, the Jin Sha Gang is already the largest gang.
And behind the Jinsha Gang stands the giant Luo family.
Taking over a house in the Zhu Mansion is a good opportunity to disgust the Zhu family. How could the Luo family let it go?
At that time, the Zhu family will inevitably send people to negotiate to resolve the matter. During the negotiation process, the Luo family can also take this opportunity to ask for huge benefits.
After carefully putting the deed back into the box, Nanny Li couldn't help laughing and exclaimed, "As expected of Master Zhu, he is so generous. Come here!"
"Mammy, I'm here."
"Go to the storehouse and get the gold, and give it to Master Li."
"Okay Mammy!"
"..."
……
In the blink of an eye, two days passed quietly.
As night fell, people at the market outside the city ended a day's work and began to pack up their stalls and go home. Only a few lights were flickering.
"Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready, Master Gong. You can start at any time."
"Let's get started. Lao Duan and the others will go first."
"Good Lord Legon!"
After getting Wu Gong's consent, a leader of the Tiger Gang nearby immediately made a gesture to the distance.
Duan Huai nodded upon seeing this, waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers! Let's go! Let's settle the score with that horse farm!" As he spoke, a dozen people followed, and Duan Huai himself was holding a sick horse that was staggering in his hands.
At the entrance of the horse farm not far away, several stable hands who were fixing the fence saw them coming in full force, so they put down their work and surrounded them.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"It's been less than a day and you've already forgotten me?" Duan Huai, who had already prepared himself for the situation, saw that the other party was not friendly and his anger suddenly exploded. He exerted force with his hand and threw the horse he was leading directly to the front, roaring:
"You are……"
"I came to your place yesterday and spent sixty taels of silver to buy a horse. At that time, you praised it so much that I really thought it was a rare BMW. But after I bought it, I got sick today! Take a good look at it for me! This is your BMW! If you can't explain it clearly, I will smash your stable!"
"Be more polite when you speak! We at the horse farm never sell sick horses to our customers!" The guys at the horse farm were not good people either. When they saw Duan Huai and his gang looking ferocious, they also stiffened their necks and roared angrily.
Duan Huai still refused to give him face and shouted, "Bullshit! How are you going to explain this horse?"
Hearing this, several guys looked down at the sick horse that had fallen to the ground, and without thinking, they shouted, "This is definitely not a horse from our stable! We don't have horses like this! I think you are here to cause trouble!"
"Okay, okay! You don't admit it, right? I'm going to bring people to smash your horse farm right now!" Duan Huai said, and waved his hand. A dozen Tiger Gang disciples who were dressed like ordinary people behind him surrounded them with knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
For a moment, the air was filled with gunpowder. Just as the two sides were pushing and shoving each other, a man who looked quite old came out from the horse farm, smiling and rushing over with a few guards.
"Calm down! Calm down! Everyone, calm down. Let's talk it out nicely. There's no need to hurt the relationship!"
This man obviously had some status in the horse farm. As soon as he appeared, the guys in the farm stopped making noise and made way for him.
When he came in front of Duan Huai, he asked in a friendly manner: "It's you, what's wrong?"
"How dare you ask? Yesterday I bought a horse from you, this one. You kept saying that the horses you have are the best in Jiangzhou City, but the day after I bought it, the horse became like this. You must give me an explanation for this!"
Hearing Duan Huai say this, the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. Let me take a look first."
After saying that, he raised one hand to signal Duan Huai not to mess around, and squatted down to carefully examine the sick horse's physical condition. Soon, his brows furrowed.
Duan Huai was right. This was a sick horse, and very sick. He had indeed bought it from here yesterday.
But one thing is that this horse is very sick. It was apparently healthy when it was sold yesterday, but in just one day, its body was covered with sores and there were symptoms of edema in many places. Judging from the horse's condition, if we don't pay attention to it, it will die in three days at most.
The man was very sure that all the horses in the farm were healthy, and if a horse had such a serious disease, no one would have noticed it.
This stable almost never sells sick horses to people. Even if it does, it will only sell those with mild symptoms whose true condition cannot be seen with the naked eye.
But this horse was the one he fought personally yesterday, so it was impossible for it to be sick. How could it grow sores all over overnight? What kind of disease could develop so quickly?
There is only one possibility, Duan Huai did something to cause the horse to become like this, they came here on purpose to cause trouble! Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and a cold color flashed in the man's eyes, making him more certain of this guess.
It is obvious that Duan Huai is not a simple person since he can call so many people to come to the horse farm to cause trouble.
But after he stood up, he still smiled and said, "My dear brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't look carefully yesterday, so I accidentally sold you this sick horse. How about this, I'll take this horse and give you a war horse as compensation?"
"Fuck your thief mother! You think you can get away with this by giving me a war horse? If I encounter this kind of thing, I can ask for an explanation! What if it happens to others? Do you want these lackeys you raised to beat them up?"
"So, brother, what do you want?"
"Remember what I said to you yesterday?"
"What?" The man was stunned, and recalled something in his mind. He quickly remembered what Duan Huai said when he came to buy a horse yesterday, and his expression became a little stiff.
"Brother, what you said yesterday was probably just a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"Humph! I really want to take it seriously! It's easy to solve this problem! Just do as I said yesterday. If you buy me a bad horse, you will compensate me with ten good horses! Plus the money I paid for the horse, you will compensate me a hundred times!"
"Pay the money! Pay the horse!"
"Yes! If you miss any of them, you will suffer the consequences today!"
"You sold us sick horses! I think you horse farms are tired of living like this!"
Duan Huai and others were aggressive and refused to give in, which made the man's face gradually turn ugly.
Duan Huai spent a total of 62 taels of silver when buying horses. If he were to compensate him a hundred times, that would be 6,200 taels of silver, plus ten good horses. This compensation request is simply outrageous, it's outrageous to the extreme!
How could he possibly accept it? Even if he accepted it, the owner of the stable would not be able to accept it. You know, the owner of the stable is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone!
After taking a deep breath, the smile on the man's face disappeared, and he asked Duan Huai seriously: "Brother, forgive others when you can. It's just a matter of a horse, why make such a fuss?"
"Who calls me your brother? I'm going to say this. This is the first time I've been fooled since I was a child. I'll pay you a hundred times the amount of silver, plus ten good horses. I won't give you any less!"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm very sure!" Duan Huai said arrogantly, not giving the other party any chance to relax.
The man was silent now. He didn't say anything more. He turned around and left to the back of the stable. He left very decisively. At the same time, he raised one hand and waved to the guys in the stable. Everyone understood what he meant at once.
After the man disappeared, one of the leading horse ranch guys took out his weapon and said fiercely to Duan Huai: "You are blind, you don't accept my toast, so you have to drink the wine for punishment. Brothers! Take out your weapons! Teach them a lesson!"
"Humph, I'm waiting for you!"
Seeing that the other side was about to take action, Duan Huai showed a triumphant expression on his face. Without saying a word, he drew his weapon and led a group of Tiger Gang disciples to meet them.
The two sides collided and blood was soon seen. Some unrelated people who saw this scene hurriedly hid far away, fearing that they would be dragged in.
Although the disciples of the Tiger Gang had experienced many battles and had fought with other gangs and had rich experience in street fighting, the guys raised in the horse farm were also trained and were no less capable than the former in fighting. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched and neither side had the upper hand.
But Duan Huai came prepared this time. Seeing that he could not defeat the opponent in a short time, Duan Huai immediately took out a firework tube and fired a shot into the sky.
Whoosh~Bang~
The dazzling and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and a tiger head pattern appeared in the middle.
After the fireworks exploded, more people emerged from behind, holding swords and sticks in their hands, rushing over continuously and joining the battle.
As more and more people from the Tiger Gang arrived, the guys at the horse farm couldn't hold on any longer and were soon beaten to the point of running away. Some of the unlucky ones fell to the ground and were surrounded by four or five Tiger Gang disciples, who kicked and beat them badly.
"Wait! Stop it!"
At this moment, a manager at the horse farm realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly.
But it was too late to stop it now. Several Tiger Gang disciples outside the horse racing field lit up the torches in their hands, and then without any hesitation, threw the burning torches into the horse racing field.
Others followed suit, and more torches flew into the stable one after another, soon setting fire to the thatch and stables in the stable.
In just a few minutes, the entire racecourse was engulfed in flames and the fire began to spread.
"These lunatics!"
"Leave them alone! Put out the fire!"
"Get some water! What are you standing there for?"
"Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, the stable will burn down!"
The fire grew more and more fierce, and the people in the horse farm were in a panic, rushing to find water to put out the fire. Even the horse farm worker who was fighting with the Tiger Gang disciples didn't care about the fight anymore, and quickly broke away and followed the others to get water.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Duan Huai did not allow anyone to press him. He waved his hand and led his men to retreat.
"Brothers! Let's go!"
"withdraw!"
Following Duan Huai's order, nearly a hundred Tiger Gang disciples scattered in an instant, quickly leaving in different directions and escaping into the market not far away.
Ten minutes later, Duan Huai appeared beside Wu Gong. They did not leave completely. Wu Gong, Zhang Wenyuan, Jian Zhanming, Wu Sheng, Ye Baocun, He Cong, and several small leaders of the Tiger Gang were quietly watching the blazing fire not far from the horse farm.
"Boss, it's done."
"Well done, now we don't have to do anything but wait."
"Master Gong, will this fire burn down the entire stable?"
"We're just getting there. We can't burn it."
"Master Gong, look at them, they're back again, hahahaha!"
"Hehehehahaha!"
Several people were sitting or standing by the stone, facing the orange-red firelight, talking and laughing. When they saw the horse ranch guy who had gone out to chase Duan Huai running back in shame, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a carriage drove over from the city. Wu Sheng shouted, "Boss! Look! That should be the person we are looking for!"
