From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"What do you mean, Brother Chen? I don't quite understand."

Du Yueming smiled, feigning a blank expression.

"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, then I will."

Chen Shi spoke calmly and with a composed expression.

"Zhang Xiaotian intends to curry favor with Master Lie, while I am Master Ze's man. Chunxing knew the inside story, but instead of warning me, she arranged for us to meet. She wanted to cause a conflict between us. Chunxing is your lover, which means you wanted to cause a conflict between us."

"What... what do you mean by that?!"

Du Yueming opened her eyes wide, then looked anxious and aggrieved.

"It's true that Chunxing knows you're Master Ze's man, but how did she know Zhang Xiaotian was Master Lie's man? Besides, I knew nothing about this from beginning to end, so how could I have ordered it?"

"The Flying Eagle Gang and the Wolf Poison Gang are sworn enemies. As your lover, how could Chunxing possibly side with your own people and help me and Zhang Xiaotian get together? If you're out in the business and you don't even know that Zhang Xiaotian wants to curry favor with Master Lie, you probably wouldn't be alive today."

Ignoring Du Yueming's feigned ignorance, Chen Shi continued.

"Afterwards, we questioned Chunxing, but Chunxing used the excuse of treating her illness to try and seduce me into bed. You just happened to appear at that moment to catch us in the act. Your timing was impeccable."

"That's a coincidence..."

"Of course, you could call it a coincidence, but then your attitude suddenly changed. Not only did you completely stop mentioning catching me in the act, but you also started fawning over me. Is the dignified leader of the Flying Eagle Gang a spineless coward who smiles even after being cuckolded?"

That's because...

"Because I'm from the Jing'an Marquis's household, right?"

Chen Shi looked at Du Yueming, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"That's right, what you value is my Jing'an Marquis's identity. In the past two years, the Flying Eagle Gang has been ostracized by the Wolf Poison Gang. If Zhang Xiaotian were to get involved with the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, the Flying Eagle Gang would have no place to stand on the streets. That's why you chose me."

"If I can leverage the influence of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion to directly destroy the Wolf Poison Gang, that would be ideal. If that doesn't work, I can still sow discord between the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion and the Wolf Poison Gang. Since Zhang Xiaotian can't rely on the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, you can also relieve a lot of pressure."

"I……"

Du Yueming, who had initially managed to remain calm and composed, began to break out in a cold sweat as Chen Shi spoke slowly and deliberately, unsure of how to defend himself.

He stole a glance at Chen Shi, a hint of apprehension surging in the depths of his eyes.

I initially thought he was just a young, inexperienced boy, a lackey who relied on others' power. I never imagined that beneath his seemingly innocent appearance lay such a deep and delicate mind.

What Chen Shi just said is all correct!

"Du Yueming! You're fucking cunning!"

After listening to Chen Shi's explanation, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly realized what was going on.

Shocked, he glared angrily at Du Yueming, wishing he could tear him apart alive.

His current predicament is entirely due to Du Yueming's scheme!

Du Yueming glared at Zhang Xiaotian with disdain, then turned to Chen Shi and forced a smile.

"Brother Chen, this is just your guess after all."

At this point, he could only stubbornly persist in his denial.

As long as Chen Shi has no evidence, he cannot be convicted!

"Yes, these are just my guesses, but as long as I believe it to be true, that's enough."

"...What do you mean?"

"Just now, I brought the Wolf Poison Gang under the command of Second Madam Ze."

"What?!"

Du Yueming, who had been trying his best to remain calm, changed his expression drastically upon hearing these words.

The Wolf Poison Gang has actually managed to get in touch with Xiao Fengxiao!

Wouldn't this be like adding wings to a tiger? Would the Flying Eagle Gang still have a chance to survive on the streets of Yongqiu City?

"Heh heh, you surnamed Du, you didn't expect this, did you? You went to all that trouble, and in the end, I've gotten myself involved with the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion!"

Zhang Xiaotian smiled, but his eyes were ferocious.

"You just wait! Within a year, no, within three months! If I don't completely wipe out your Flying Eagle Gang, I'm not a Zhang!"

"Young Master Chen! No, Grandpa Chen!"

Du Yueming panicked completely and knelt down in front of Chen Shi with a thud.

"I was blinded by greed, I was blind to your true worth, I didn't recognize your greatness and offended you. Please forgive me, I'm a magnanimous person!"

Ok?

Zhang Xiaotian, standing to the side, was taken aback. How could this old bastard steal his lyrics?

Chen Shi remained expressionless, his gaze still cold as he looked at Du Yueming.

"Du Yueming, do you want to live or die?"

Ok?

Zhang Xiaotian was taken aback again; he knew this question well.

"I want to live! Of course I want to live!"

"Alright then."

Chen Shi nodded and spoke directly.

"It's not difficult to spare you, but there are two conditions."

"Don't even mention two, I'd agree to twenty or two hundred."

"Firstly, your Flying Eagle Gang shall henceforth obey the orders of Second Madam Ze of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion."

"To obey Madam Yu Ze? I agree! I agree!"

Du Mingyue was taken aback, then nodded quickly, her face beaming with joy.

This isn't a condition, it's clearly giving him a free ride!

As long as he gets close to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, why would he need to fear the Wolf Poison Gang?

Ok?

Zhang Xiaotian's eyes widened. Not only were the questions the same, but the options were also the same!

That damned Du Yueming made the same choice. Now the Flying Eagle Gang has also latched onto Granny Ze. How are we supposed to deal with them now?

But then, Zhang Xiaotian grinned again.

"Secondly, you need to take out ten thousand taels of silver and give it to Zhao Qiancheng. Zhao Qiancheng can't have worked so hard for nothing. Since you started this, you should naturally spend money to settle it."

"hey-hey."

After hearing Chen Shi's explanation, Zhang Xiaotian burst out laughing.

Sure enough, the second one is the same.

"Ten thousand taels!"

Du Yueming, who had just been all smiles, suddenly turned into a mournful figure, looking as if she had lost her parents.

Ten thousand taels is far too much.

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

Before Chen Shi could speak, Zhang Xiaotian spoke up for him.

"Yes! I'm willing! Who says I'm not!"

Du Yueming shouted immediately, glaring venomously at Zhang Xiaotian.

If he doesn't want to, can he even save his life?

What happened to Zhang Xiaotian today may be what he suffers tomorrow.

After all, if Chen Shi can join forces with him today to deal with the Wolf Poison Gang, he can also lead the Wolf Poison Gang to wipe out his Flying Eagle Gang tomorrow.

"it is good."

Since that's the case, Chen Shi stopped arguing.

Following the same example, they took out paper and pen and had Du Yueming write a document pledging allegiance to Xiao Fengxiao.

"From this day forward, you are family."

Holding two documents in his hands, Chen Shi looked at Zhang Xiaotian and Du Yueming and said.

"Since that's the case, you must not quarrel anymore. You should support each other and make money together."

"Yes."

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Shi and responded in unison.

Chen Shi smiled, took each of their hands, and came out of the house.

After all, Zhao Qiancheng was still waiting in the courtyard. As a dignified prefect, it wouldn't be good to keep him waiting too long.

"Um?"

Zhao Qiancheng was indeed losing patience when he suddenly saw Chen Shi pulling the two of them out together, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

What's going on here?
