Chapter 177: Live and Die

The bearded beggar became more and more excited as he listened.

If there really is a way to make money, there will be no worries about having a good life in the future.

But he hesitated. "I heard that the owner behind Ruyifang is quite influential, a very important figure in Kyoto. How can we compete with Ruyifang? Besides, everything needs capital, so where can we get it?"

"Why should we compete with Ruyifang? The most urgent thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing. We just need to rent two rooms and open a dark hall. With my second brother's conditions, he will be able to make a name for himself sooner or later. Besides, my third brother's conditions are not bad either."

"We can't compete with Ruyifang now, but that may not be the case in the future. Maybe Ruyifang will be more famous. Then I won't have to do anything but count money every day. Once our business is successful, I'm afraid my hands will cramp from counting money every day. I guarantee that I'll be worried when I see money." Shen Jingshu kept promising him.

First of all, she naturally wanted revenge for herself.

Secondly, she needs money.

Without money, how could she kill that bitch Xie Changning?

I heard that Xie Xuan returned triumphantly.

Now, that bitch Xie Changning is becoming more and more prosperous.

Even though she was no longer the Marquis's wife, no one dared to look down on her.

The bearded beggar turned his head and looked at Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou, "What you said is indeed a way to make money, but I'm afraid they won't obey."

After so many years of wealth and prosperity, they have an indelible pride in their bones.

As long as they have this arrogance, they will never obey.

How easy is it to train them well?

"Master, you don't understand! If they don't obey, then starve them for two days. If that doesn't work, then beat them up. Or, maybe we'll just make them accustomed to it and make us brothers work harder every day."

She looked sinister and vicious, and smiled, "If all else fails, we can still give them medicine, right?"

"Although a forced melon is not sweet, many people want to taste what this unsweet melon tastes like. Isn't this a kind of fun?"

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of a great idea. "Why don't we just tie them up with chains? It's a new way to give people a different experience. Maybe we can even achieve a surprising victory."

Not to mention anything else, even the beggar with a beard felt itchy in his heart because of what she said.

He thought for a moment and made a decision immediately, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou both looked miserable, not knowing that Shen Jingshu had already sold them out.

But they will find out sooner or later.

Shen Jingshu was finally able to have a good sleep tonight, but Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou had to work hard.

Two people died and came back to life, and then came back to life and died again...

The next day, when the two men opened their eyes groggily and looked at the ropes tied around their bodies, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

"What are you doing? Let us go!" The two men roared at the same time.

Shen Jingshu stood in front of them with a smile, "Second brother, third brother, I have thought of a way to make money. I am afraid that you will have to work hard in the future, but it is not difficult. As long as you serve the guests obediently like you did last night, it will be fine. This kind of thing is a matter of practice. Third brother may still be a little unfamiliar with it, but it is not a big deal. He will be fine after a few more times. Second brother is different. He is very familiar with it."

As she spoke, she raised the whip in her hand and said, "From now on, I will be responsible for disciplining you. If you cooperate obediently, you can suffer less. Otherwise..."

"Chen Jingshu, don't even think about it. You must be crazy. Although we are not biological siblings, we are related by blood. You can't do this to us. I admit that it was our fault for not saving you that day, but you have already taken revenge on us. What else do you want?" Shen Zhiyan roared with red eyes. Maybe it was because he had been hungry for two days, or maybe it was because he ate too much last night. His voice was soft and weak.

Shen Zhizhou's face was ashen, he lay motionless on the ground, with only one thought left in his mind.

That is, he is no longer clean and has become like his second brother.

Don't think he doesn't know that ever since his second brother experienced what happened with Butcher Wang, he has had impotence.

Shen Jingshu whipped Shen Zhiyan with a whip, "This is not up to you, second brother, I advise you to think more open-mindedly, this is also for your own good, don't you just want to have a full meal? After yesterday, I think you should have recognized the current situation. You are no longer a young master of the Marquisate, but a rat in the gutter, everyone shouting and beating you. I guess you also want revenge, right?"

"If it weren't for that bitch Xie Changning, we wouldn't be in this situation today. Revenge requires capital. Do you have it?"

She knew it was not easy to tame Shen Zhiyan, but she had plenty of patience.

As for Prefect Shen, just starve him for a few meals.

Having already wasted a day yesterday, Xie Changning took people to Gu's house early this morning.

Gu Huaijin is studying at Guanlan Academy, and today happens to be the day when Guanlan Academy is closed.

She was extremely nervous and anxious to confirm one thing: whether Gu Huaijin was her son...
