Rebellious Contract Beast

"Fuck! I found out that you are also a talent!"

"Things have come to this. How would I know if he is in poor health? Why don't you tell me what to do next?"

"What else can I do? Of course I have to do what I have to do. Fortunately, it's not a big deal." Shen Yi's upper and lower jaws were tilted, and his sharp teeth were faintly visible, but his face looked very helpless.

Come to think of it, in fact, there has always been a deep hatred between him, the old witch and the Xu family. You know, the old patriarch of the Xu family is the biological father of the current patriarch of the Xu family, Xu Zhenping.

And then how did he die?

Although he was killed by the Wu family in order to pay for Wu Han's life, his contribution was huge in it.

It is no exaggeration to say that he personally sent the old patriarch of the Xu family to the guillotine.

Therefore, this indirectly means that the old witch can be regarded as half of Xu Zhenping's father's murderer. And since it is already an irreconcilable hatred for the murder of his father, what's the big deal if there is also an additional hatred for the murder of his mother?

Anyway, I don’t mind the itchiness if there are too many lice.

Besides, Shen Yi doesn't take the Xu family seriously at all now. With just a little manipulation, he can make the other three major families in the city isolate the Xu family together.

From a rational point of view, as the head of a large family, Xu Zhenping would not gamble the fate of the large family for a Nanmenlu.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xu Zhenping is a qualified head of a large family, because from the perspective of the Xu family, under the current situation, using this incident to attack He Jian Chu Yun is the stupidest choice.

If things go wrong, you might end up killing one thousand enemies and losing twelve thousand of your own.

It’s just that Nanmen Lu’s death was somewhat unjust.

What can I say about this person? She came from a small family affiliated with the Xu family, just like Yang Bayuan. The Yang family behind him is affiliated with the Zhao family.

However, the Nanmen family is considered to be the top family among all the second-tier families. Although it is affiliated with the Xu family, the Xu family cannot control them too much.

Rumor has it that the head of the Nanmen family forced his daughter to marry into the Xu family in order to form an alliance. The series of means he used made the old head of the Xu family very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

Nanmen Lu knew that she was not liked by the old master, so she seldom showed up in front of him. However, in order not to be looked down upon by the maids around her, she would occasionally ask for his favor and wave the banner of "the fox borrowing the power of the tiger".

Therefore, over the years, she only gave birth to a son, Xu Zhenning.

But it might be precisely because of this reason that he did not make trouble or engage in household quarrels, coupled with the fact that Xu Zhenning worked hard and stood out with his absolute talent, becoming the youngest spiritual-level expert in the Xu family. Therefore, after the death of the first wife of the old patriarch of the Xu family, she was promoted from a concubine to a wife and became the mistress of the Xu family.

When the old patriarch of the Xu family passed away, Xu Zhenning took over as the patriarch of the Xu family, and she became the grandmother of the Xu family above everyone else.

Due to her personality, no matter what her status in the Xu family was, Nanmen Lu never got involved in family affairs. She had only one hobby, which was shopping. She was particularly fond of jewelry and had been a frequent customer of Ru Ruixuan for a long time, and even a top customer.

The Ru Ruixuan branch of the old witch was located closer to the Xu family, so Nanmen Lu found it convenient and successfully became a major customer of the branch.

A long time ago, when Nanmen Lu often visited the Ru Ruixuan branch and applied for membership, Shen Yi thought she was up to something.

I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Hey~
To be honest, the fight between Shen Yi and the Xu family had nothing to do with the South Gate Tower. Although she was the grandmother of the Xu family, she was a real outsider.

It's the death of a person who should never have died.

"When does Nanmen Lu's funeral begin?"

"I haven't asked yet, but it should be in the next two days."

"There's no movement from the Xu family today?"

"No, I just asked someone to take the body back."

"Okay, but after all, the person died on our territory. When they start holding the funeral, I'll think about it and take 50,000... 30,000 yuan as an apology and gift. When I go there, I can explain everything clearly."

"Thirty thousand? That much?"

"No, this is too much."

"Oh, I forgot that the person who died was the grandmother of the Xu family. Fifty thousand is not a lot, haha..."

Wu Gong smiled awkwardly. At this time, He Jianchuyun looked at Shen Yi and said speechlessly, "Are you going to the banquet now?"

Hearing this, before Shen Yi could say anything, Zhang Wenyuan also said: "Yes, the Xu family is incompatible with us. What if they attack us from behind when we get there?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not really stubborn. Why do I have to have a feast? What I mean is, just send someone over there to deliver the gift and have a feast. If the person comes back and everything is fine, if the person doesn't come back, then I think the Xu family's plate can be divided as a cake."

"I see."

"Oh, Wu Gong, remember to send more people to guard the old witch's shop. I'm afraid that after this incident, the Zhendao Society will become restless."

"clear."

"That's OK, go back if you have nothing else to do."

"Yes, it's getting late, so we'll leave now."

"Walk slowly."

After seeing off Wu Gong and Zhang Wenyuan, the atmosphere in the room became quiet.

He Jianchuyun blew out the candle, turned to Shen Yi and asked, "Well...Xuan Li, tell me, why did Zhu Yanzheng want to kill my aunt?"

"Your aunt shouldn't have any grudge against him, right?"

"No, I'm not sure."

"You don't know that there is basically no hatred, so isn't it hard to guess?"

"Then tell me?"

Watching Shen Yi walk out of the room, He Jian Chuyun followed and closed the door, while asking.

"Do you remember the group of people who attacked you on the street?"

"Ok?"

"Oh, it's the bandits in Kuangsha Village."

"Oh, of course I remember. Do you mean they were sent by Zhu Yanzheng?"

"I don't know, but if he was, why do you think he wanted to kill you?" "Because of Zhu Yantao, but what is the relationship between Zhu Yantao and me?"

"It's true that you didn't kill him, but others don't know, especially Zhu Yanzheng. You see, neither of us knows how Zhu Yantao died, so Zhu Yanzheng is even more confused. He may not be able to find out anything else in the Zhu Mansion, but he will definitely find out that Zhu Yantao chased you before he died and was ready to rape you on the street."

"So to him, I am most likely the murderer of Zhu Yantao. This guy is really sick..."

"You saw it too. Zhu Yanzheng must have attacked you personally, but he ran away because he couldn't beat you. Afterwards, he must have realized that he couldn't deal with you alone, so he had to find a helper. Combined with his action of murdering your aunt, guess who wants your aunt to die the most and is most likely to be in alliance with Zhu Yanzheng?"

He Jianchuyun raised an eyebrow and blurted out a name: "Wan Gaoyue."

"Isn't that the end? When Zhu Yanzheng asked Wan Gaoyue for help, she put forward a condition. The condition was that your aunt must die. Zhu Yanzheng can't beat you, so he can't beat your aunt, right? But the people he found were stupid enough to go in through the main gate and make such a big noise. The masters around your aunt are not deaf. They are really a group of talented people."

A hint of coldness flashed in He Jian Chuyun's eyes. Zhu Yanzheng could kill her, and she could kill Zhu Yanzheng. If she really wanted to hire a killer, she had more financial resources than the other party and could find more people.

"What do you want to do?"

"I plan to let Bo Nian meet Han Wanhe tomorrow."

"You still want the Lonely Alliance to help you kill people?"

"Didn't you say that we have turned enemies into friends? It would be a waste if we don't use them."

He Jianchuyun rolled his eyes and said that ever since Xiangtao and Boyan successfully intimidated Han Wanhe last time and he sent gold to show his attitude, He Jianchuyun asked his aunt to open some back doors for Han Wanhe, so that the Lonely Alliance could gain a foothold in Jiangzhou City more quickly.

Moreover, after Han Guishan was killed, Han Wanhe naturally took over Ma Changmingli's business. He was so grateful to the old witch that he couldn't express it in time.

There is no doubt that Han Wanhe is now half an old witch.

However, when talking about the horse farm, we have to mention the "Little Peiyuan Pills" produced in the black workshop of the horse farm.

Its function is basically the same as the normal Peiyuan Pill. After consumption, it can also speed up the practitioner's practice. The only difference is that compared to the normal Peiyuan Pill, the Small Peiyuan Pill contains an additional ingredient called "Soul-Forgetting Grass". It is this additional ingredient that gives the "Small Peiyuan Pill" another function besides speeding up the practitioner's practice.

It's just that the ingredient of this "Soul-Forgetting Grass" only accounts for a very small proportion. If you only take three or two small Peiyuan Pills, there will be no problem. It is a chronic poison attack. But if you consume it for a long time, the consumer will become unconscious and stupid, no different from a zombie. No, not even a zombie!
Forget-me-not Forget-me-not, the most important thing about it is the word "forget". People who consume it for a long time will gradually forget things about themselves, and in the end they will forget themselves and won't be able to walk.

The second leader of the Tiger Gang ate too many of these problematic Peiyuan Pills, and then he aged rapidly, becoming a useless man confined to a wheelchair. He had great cultivation skills, but could do nothing.

His symptoms are relatively mild, otherwise he would not have struggled in the end.

"That's true, but you don't have to ask others for help for everything, right? Can't you just tell your aunt and it's over? She is the mistress of the Zhu family after all, can't she handle Zhu Yanzheng?"

"Oh~" He Jian Chuyun responded emotionlessly, then thought of something and asked, "But that Nanmen Lu is the biological mother of the Xu family's Patriarch after all. Her biological mother is dead, so aren't you afraid of what he might do?"

"When water comes, we can block it with earth; when soldiers come, we can stop them. But Xu Zhenping probably doesn't dare to say a word."

"why?"

"No reason, because he is the head of the family." Shen Yi's eyes became particularly deep when he said this.

If his own mother was murdered, no matter who the murderer was, whether he could be found or killed, he would bet everything on finding out the truth and then killing the murderer as soon as possible.

But the head of the family cannot do that. There are too many things to consider. He cannot drag more people into the quagmire for the sake of a woman, even if that woman is his biological mother.

Take Tsurumi Prefecture for example. There were probably at least several thousand people in the entire prefecture, if not tens of thousands. They were all slaughtered just like that. Who knows how many miles the bodies were buried?
Besides, even if Xu Zhenping is an impulsive person who does things without considering the consequences, he is not the only one who has the final say in the Xu family. After all, those elders are not just for show.

Even if he is not rational, there will always be someone else who is rational.

……

On this day, Xu's house was hung with white cloth inside and out, and the air was solemn and sad.

At the gate of the Xu Mansion, guests who came to pay their respects were coming and going. Chen Yuanfeng, the head of the Chen family in front of the door, waved his hand behind him and shouted lightly, "Send it in." Then he walked into the Xu Mansion with his hands behind his back.

The person reading the gift list at the door glanced at the list in his hand, rubbed his throat, and shouted: "The head of the Chen family, Chen Yuanfeng, is sending 70,000 taels of silk and gold, a golden feather phoenix tail, a flowing beard black ring fan, and a spring mountain green picture. In addition, a box of various precious jewels..."

The loud chanting gradually faded away, and the head of the Chen family walked steadily to Xu Zhenping, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Master Xu, the deceased is gone, and the living are like this, please accept my condolences."

The head of the Xu family, Xu Zhenping, looked to be in his thirties and looked very young. At this moment, he was wearing a white scarf on his head, a coarse linen shirt, and his feet and hands were wrapped with white cloth. He had a blank expression on his face.

Hearing Chen Yuanfeng's voice, he turned his head, his face still expressionless, he just bowed slightly and said: "Thanks to the Chen family master for your guidance, Xu is very grateful."

Chen Yuanfeng seemed not to hear the sarcasm in the other person's mouth. He just laughed: "Hahaha, you kid, you're the head of the family now, but you're still the same as before!"

As he said this, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the banquet, shaking his head as he walked, while Xu Zhenping just stared at his back coldly.

His biological mother was murdered, and everyone knew how he would react, so they were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Xu Zhenping naturally wouldn't give a good face to these people, but of course, he wouldn't give them a bad face either.

People kept walking by him, and every passerby would say "condolences" to him.

Sometimes he would nod, sometimes he would just ignore me.

Until a voice came from the direction of the gate: "The Tiger Gang... Gang... Gang members, Li, Li Gousui, send fifteen thousand taels of silk and gold...?"

Then another sentence: "Wanlong Chamber of Commerce... Yang Erbai, sent 15,000 taels of silk money, no... no more?"

After hearing these two sentences, Xu Zhenping turned his head suddenly and saw two people walking in from the gate. He didn't know these two people. From the aura on their bodies, they were both ordinary people, clearly minions from the Zhonghu Gang and Wanlong Chamber of Commerce.

The two of them walked together, slowly with smiles on their faces. They only walked quickly towards Xu Zhenping when they saw him.

"Master Xu, I'm Yang Erbai, nice to meet you."

"My name is Li Gousui, from the Tiger Gang's Evil Tiger Hall. I don't have much ability, but... Master Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are a big shot!"

Xu Zhenping listened to the two people's self-introductions with a gloomy face.

At the funeral of Xu's grandmother, all the gifts given were various precious instruments and expensive jewels, or some rare treasures. Silver was not that important.

The Wanlong Chamber of Commerce and the Zhonghu Gang, one is the richest chamber of commerce in Jiangzhou, and the other is the largest gang in Jiangzhou, and the total amount they gave was only 30,000 taels?

This is clearly a deliberate provocation and contempt for his Xu family!

However, Xu Zhenping had no idea that Shen Yi gave him 30,000 taels of silver because his biological mother, Nanmen Lu, was Ru Ruixuan's top customer. Otherwise, if anyone else in the Xu family died in the store, let alone 30,000 taels, Shen Yi would not even give him three copper coins!

Therefore, Shen Yi's gift of thirty thousand taels of silver was already a generous gift.
