Rebellious Contract Beast

"Simple, Zheng'er, do you know Ru Ruixuan?"

"The kid knows."

"Yes." Wan Gaoyue nodded and continued, "A long time ago, He Jian Yanqiu opened a branch of Ru Rui Xuan in the south of the city to thank He Jian Chu Yun for helping her regain power in the Zhu family. This branch was named Ru Rui Xuan, but it was actually He Jian Chu Yun's manor."

"Why did mother say that? Could it be that He Jianyan Qiu would not bring guards with him when he came to the Ruruixuan branch?"

"Of course I will... I have also sent people to investigate the store. It's not a big place, but there are many people coming and going on weekdays. Every once in a while, He Jian Yan Qiu will go there to take a look, but in order not to disturb the customers inside, she will often leave her guards outside and go in alone. This is the best time for you, Zheng'er, to take action."

"This..." Zhu Yanzheng hesitated and asked, "Do we have to kill He Jianyanqiu?"

Wan Gaoyue nodded nonchalantly and asked the maid beside her to refill her cup of tea.

"As long as He Jian Yanqiu is alive, I, your mother, can't help you avenge Taoer. If I help you now, what if someone finds any clues?" she asked.

After listening to this, Zhu Yanzheng fell into silence.

After a while, he stood up, bowed to Wan Gaoyue, and said, "Mother, I need to go back and think about this matter. I'll take my leave now."

"Zheng'er, slow down. There's no need to rush."

"Yes, mother."

Zhu Yanzheng nodded in response, then left with his men with an expressionless face.

Looking at his departing back, Wan Gaoyue curled up a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

She knew that the matter was basically over.

Zhu Yanzheng is determined to take revenge, so let him think about it. After considering it in the end, he will still agree.

In fact, from the very beginning, Wan Gaoyue just wanted Zhu Yantao to force He Jian Chuyun to take action. As long as Zhu Yantao died at the hands of He Jian Chuyun, she could use this opportunity to drive He Jian Chuyun out of the Zhu family directly.

Tsurumi Hatsuyun is only Tsurumi Yanqiu's maternal family member. Although she is also Zhu Jianqing's niece in terms of relationship, to put it bluntly, there is no blood relationship between her and Zhu Jianqing. With Zhu Jianqing's style of doing things, he would not care about the existence of a niece at all.

He is a very cold person, so cold that he doesn't even care about the life or death of his own son.

Wan Gaoyue remembered that when he first came to the Zhu Mansion, he heard He Jianyanqiu say that Zhu Jianqing was also a cheerful, generous, gentle and humorous person when he was young. He just didn't know why he became like this after so many years.

Thinking about it now, Wan Gaoyue found it a little ridiculous. Zhu Jianqing didn't look like someone who could be associated with these words.

Hey~
With a sigh, Zhu Yantao died in the end, but she did not succeed.

When the idea of ​​driving Tsurumi Hatsuyun out of the Zhu family was implemented, the Tianxia Group had not yet emerged. At that time, Tsurumi Hatsuyun was an outsider who dared to kill a member of the Zhu family. Even if Tsurumi Yanqiu was there, she would have been skinned alive even if she didn't die.

However, the timing of the appearance of the Tianxiaren Group was too unfortunate, which directly caused most people in the Zhu Mansion to begin to rely on Shang Hejian Yanqiulai. In comparison, Zhu Yantao's life and death seemed less important.

With the favoritism of the Tianxia Group, Wan Gaoyue was completely suppressed by He Jian Yanqiu. He wanted to make a fuss about Zhu Yantao's death? He couldn't get around He Jian Yanqiu at all.

The reason why she hasn't given up yet is mainly because she wants to take another look at Zhu Yanzheng.

What if this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife succeeds?

As long as He Jian Yan Qiu dies, she will be the mistress of the Zhu Mansion who has the final say!

Zhu Yanzheng was in big trouble because he had lived in the sect for many years and seldom returned home. He was cut off from the news and did not know the specific affairs of the Tianxia Group, so he did not have an accurate idea of ​​what he had to do.

He thought he was just killing one person, even if that person was the mistress of the Zhu family, there was nothing else.

……

On the other side, after confirming that all the people who attacked him had run away, He Jianchuyun quickly called a few disciples of the Tiger Gang, carried the bodies of those who died in his hands back, and asked them to find Wusheng to investigate the identities of those people.

It was two days later when I received Wu Sheng's reply.

According to the investigation of the Tiger Gang, the dead people were not natives of Jiangzhou City. They were just staying in Jiangzhou City temporarily, and it is estimated that they stayed there for about half a month.

Some people who frequently traveled for business provided clues. These people used to frequent the road from Jiangzhou City to Donghu Town. They were bandits from Kuangsha Village, and this Kuangsha Village was about 160 miles away from Jiangzhou City and had a great reputation.

Different from the bandit strongholds that cause trouble to the locals in other places, the Kuangsha Stronghold takes the elite route. There are not many members in it, only about thirty or forty people, but each of them has strong power. Any one of them would be a management-level figure in other strongholds. The most important thing is that their reputation is actually positive!

What they do is nothing more than robbing people on the road, specifically stealing supplies carried by wealthy businessmen and large families passing by. The stolen things are often distributed to the people in nearby villages, which makes them have a very high prestige in the hearts of those villagers. Often when someone wants to wipe out the bandits in Kuangsha Village, those villagers will become the biggest obstacle.

These were things Shen Yi had not expected.

Apart from these, Shen Yi knew nothing about the Kuangsha Village.

He roughly guessed in his heart that they were invited by Zhu Yanzheng, but he was not quite sure.

The biggest question is, how did Zhu Yanzheng invite the people from Kuangsha Village?
Looking at him, he didn't look like someone who could deal with bandits. That was why Shen Yi was not completely sure that all this was done by Zhu Yanzheng.

"Xuan Li, these people are definitely good men. If not, I'll take a few people to Broken Blade Ridge to have a look. If there's a chance, let them work with us, and by the way, find out who instigated them."

Wu Gong in front of him suggested that although he was not a hero who liked to rob the rich and help the poor, those who he usually targeted were the wealthy families who were high and mighty. As for the ordinary people, as long as they did not threaten him, he would never make things difficult for them, and would even help them if necessary.

Wu Gong and the bandits in Kuangsha Village can be said to be the same kind of people. After hearing about their stories, it is natural that he feels a sense of sympathy for them.

Hearing this, Shen Yi glanced at him, nodded, and said: "Okay, take some time to take people over to look for them. They can surrender if they want. I don't have any bad feelings towards these people, but I really don't like someone secretly plotting against me. So if you can't make them surrender, then you can do it. Beat them into submission and force them to tell you who is the mastermind behind the scenes." "Humph! Of course!" Wu Gong rubbed his hands together. He certainly wouldn't stand still and get beaten and scolded just because the other party was a man whom he valued.

Shen Yi didn't care much about these things. Seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, he waved his paw and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else, you two can go back. I'm going to take a nap." As he said that, he turned around and was about to walk out the door, but Wu Gong became anxious when he saw this and quickly stopped him.

"Hey Xuanli, wait a minute!"

Shen Yi looked back in confusion: "What else?"

“This…” Wu Gong scratched his head and stammered, “During this period, that…Zhonghu, hiss~something happened in the gang, I don’t know…I should tell you or not…”

"If you have to fart, do it quickly..." Shen Yi was just about to say "If you have to fart, do it quickly" but when he turned his head, he saw Wu Sheng next to Wu Gong also looking embarrassed. His heart skipped a beat and a very bad premonition came to his mind.

"What's going on? Can you tell me quickly?"

"That's it..." Wu Gong couldn't explain it for a long time. Finally, he looked at Wu Sheng fiercely, pushed him from behind, and shouted: "Wu Sheng, you tell me!"

"Boss! Why don't you play like this!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Speak now!"

Seeing his boss' murderous look, Wu Sheng almost cried. He turned to meet Shen Yi's dangerous gaze. His scalp was tingling, so he could only tell Wu Gong everything he wanted to say.

"Xuan Li, it's like this, some time ago..."

Through Wu Sheng's narration, Shen Yi slowly understood what had happened.

Although the Tianxiaren Group now controls the commercial economy of major cities in Jiangzhou, this is not the Earth of the 21st century in the previous life. Many people are confused and unable to understand Shen Yi's ideas.

In order for the Tianxiaren Group to operate smoothly, the recognition of relevant parties is essential. However, the Tianxiaren Group is now in the middle stage of development, and if the group wants to have a qualified employee, it needs to be trained. In a short period of time, the group cannot train enough people at once, so the handovers in many places are still completed by the members of the Zhonghu Gang.

This also means that a lot of funds will first pass through the Zhonghu Gang before flowing to the Tianxiaren Group.

At the beginning, it was fine. Wu Gong didn't care much about this matter and was busy renewing his relationship with Nie Yinhua. But one day, Wu Gong looked at a series of bills and found that most of the money earned by the Tianxiaren Group was actually eaten up by the Lin and Wu families. He was furious.

If there is someone in this world who can't stand to see big families having an easy life, Wu Gong must be one of them, and he is a particularly extreme one.

The Lin and Wu families didn't have to do anything, as large amounts of silver were delivered to their treasuries every month. Wu Gong simply couldn't accept this, so he took it upon himself to embezzle some of the money that was to be handed over to the Lin and Wu families.

It’s not much, but it’s not a small amount either. In three months, about two million taels of silver.

At first he didn't think there was anything wrong, and nothing happened, so Wu Gong was complacent about it. But as the New Year was getting closer, a few days ago he suddenly heard from a disciple of the Tiger Gang that people from the Lin family and the Wu family would come to the Shen Mansion to discuss matters soon. This made him suddenly remember that at the beginning of every month before the New Year, the major families and the Lin and Wu families would come to check the account books.

No one was held accountable for the money he had embezzled before because the Lin and Wu families didn't know about the mismatch in the account books, so of course nothing would go wrong. But when the account books of both parties were taken out, where did the missing money go?
By then, those big families would not be able to sit idly by and would conduct a thorough investigation on the spot, and it would not take long to find Wu Gong.

Wu Gong is self-aware. With his current level of cultivation, he is indeed a big shot in the martial arts world, but in front of those big families, especially local overlords like the Lin family and the Wu family, he is nothing.

So after he realized what was happening, he panicked all of a sudden and had no idea how to solve the problem. So he could only come to see Shen Yi and try to find out if there was any way to solve the problem from him.

After listening to Wu Sheng's story, Shen Yi was stunned for a moment and almost died on the spot from a cerebral hemorrhage.

He was surprised when he saw Wu Gong coming over. He just wanted Wu Sheng to come over and tell him what he had found out, but he ended up giving him such a big one?
"Wu Gong... I, I'll fuck your bloody mother!"

Shen Yi couldn't help himself for a moment, and rushed forward and clawed at Wu Gong, knocking him flying on the spot and smashing him against the wall.

"Cough cough~"

Wu Gong coughed twice and sat up. He didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he looked at the other party flatteringly: "Xuan Li, you think of a way. I... was confused for a moment!"

"Confused? If you want to die, just find a cliff and jump off it. Don't f*cking drag me down with you! Damn it!"

"Xuan Li, I was wrong, really wrong. How about you think of a way? I don't want this to happen..."

"Fuck you! What the hell!" The furious Shen Yi wanted to come up and hit Wu Gong twice. Wu Sheng, who was standing by, saw this and tried to stop him: "Boss Xuanli, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over. I wanted to talk to you about this at first, but you and the girl were out at that time. Now that things have come to this, how about we think of a solution first?"

Shen Yi glared at him coldly and said directly: "There is no solution. Wu Gong caused this incident himself. Let's just wait for death!"

"Don't, Xuan Li!"

"Don't fucking do that! Damn Gan Lin!" Shen Yi cursed under his breath. He was really angry, but in the end he still walked back to his original position.

Wu Gong felt uneasy, and quickly poured a cup of tea to Shen Yi, saying sincerely: "Xuan Li, you see, we have a long-standing friendship. You, you can't just stand by and watch someone die. You should think of a way. If it really doesn't work, I, Wu Gong, will take the blame for my actions and personally go to the Lin and Wu families to apologize."

"Get out!" Shen Yi swung his claws to drive the man aside, took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

As he calmed down, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for about five minutes. Shen Yi roughly grabbed the teacup, drank the tea together with the tea leaves, and then spoke slowly.

"There is a way."

"real!"

"any solution?"
