Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Early the next morning, just after dawn, all the shops in Yuezhou City opened for business.

The Emerald Pavilion opened a little later, but it also opened when the city gate opened. The shopkeeper and the shop assistants sat in the shop with nothing to do, looking at the bustling street in boredom.

For their jewelry business, it has been open for three years. The hairpin that the second son of the Li family bought from him yesterday is enough for their profits in the past few months.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper stretched himself, feeling very comfortable.

But just when he was in a good mood, a familiar jade pendant was placed in front of him.

After seeing this jade pendant, the shopkeeper's smiling face instantly sank.

He stared at the pale and weak young man in front of him, with doubts in his eyes: "Little brother, this jade pendant is of excellent quality, where did you get it from?"

"A gift from a woman." Zhang Yang said indifferently, "Do you want this jade pendant or not?"

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he withdrew his hand.

The shopkeeper stared at the jade pendant on the counter, even though he was suspicious, he politely asked Zhang Yang to go to the second floor: "The jade pendant sent by the guest officer is extremely valuable, please follow me to the private room for a cup of tea , I invite Master to palm the eye."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang took back the jade pendant, and strode upstairs with the shopkeeper.

Seeing the shopkeeper's sudden change of expression, the shopkeepers looked at each other, their intuition was different, and they raised their spirits to observe every move outside the shop.

Yuezhou is poor, but its ancestors were also glorious. In the previous dynasty, Yuezhou was the capital of the country, with a lot of heritage. In addition, there are many jade veins in Yuezhou. People often take the jade they picked up to the Emerald Pavilion for appraisal.

Emerald Pavilion originated from the capital city, with branches all over the thirteen prefectures of Chu State, the publicity behavior did not arouse suspicion.

It just makes people feel a little bit emotional - another person who has met shit luck!

In the private room on the second floor, the master mentioned by the shopkeeper has not come for a long time, only the shopkeeper is holding this jade pendant, rubbing it constantly, while checking, he observes the young man in front of him from the corner of his eye.

How could such a young man come with a token?It shouldn't be...

Could it be... The shopkeeper paused for a moment on Zhang Yang's delicate face, his eyes became complicated.

Could it be the male favorite that the county head likes?

Zhang Yang was stared into his eyes and felt uncomfortable, so he said, "The county lord of Changning gave it to me, saying that if I have anything to do with Lihua Village, I can bring this jade pendant to the Emerald Pavilion to find her."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately sat up straight.

He no longer looked at Zhang Yang in the same way as before, but rang the bell with a serious expression, and after a guy hurried over, he gave some instructions in a low voice.

Seeing that Zhang Yang's expression didn't change much, the shopkeeper's heart sank again: "It seems that this young man is indeed a ruthless character!"

Soon, Gu Ning came to the Emerald Pavilion.

She only brought a maid with her behind her, and Chu Shiling was alone.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang also heaved a sigh of relief.

His feelings for Chu Shiling are very complicated. He is grateful for Chu Shiling's reminder to save his life, but also dissatisfied with Chu Shiling's carelessness in exposing their plan.

On the contrary, the mansion in the main city of Changning County in front of me is quite deep, and he is an excellent partner...

Thinking about this, Zhang Yang looked at Gu Ning and said, "What is the purpose of Changning County Lord coming to Yuezhou this time?"

Gu Ning smiled: "Bring the emperor's reward to Yuezhou."

Zhang Yang showed sarcasm: "It's just that? Why did the county head go to Lihua Village? Do you want to keep this jade pendant?"

"It's just entrusted by others." Gu Ning propped his chin and smiled lazily, "Chu Shiling wanted to avenge the justice of the civilian girl who died in vain, but I also think that Li Cheng is sinister and vicious, so he should get rid of him. "

"Just like that?" Zhang Yang stared nervously at Gu Ning, "Is there no other purpose?"

Hearing this, Gu Ning sat up straight: "What else do you want? Can't I be kind?"

"No!" Gu Ning came back to his senses and narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that Li Cheng still has some secrets?"

At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly knelt down. He looked at Gu Ning with deep meaning in his eyes: "What if I know a secret of the Li family? This secret is related to the country."

Gu Ning's eyes narrowed: "What do you want to say?"

"I will use this secret to exchange the head of Li Cheng with the county magistrate." Zhang Yang said word by word, "I also ask the county magistrate to complete it!"

"Actually, even if you don't tell the secret, I will help you." Gu Ning saw the crimson blood in his eyes, and his tone softened, "You don't have to..."

"The Li family colluded with the Xiongnu."

Zhang Yang's words stunned Gu Ning.

After a while, Gu Ning's face was complicated: "The Li family is just a family from Yuezhou, how can they cooperate with the Xiongnu?"

What the Xiongnu lacked were things like salt and iron, which were under the control of the imperial court. Even if there were private sales, it was very rare, let alone cooperate with the Xiongnu.

To cooperate with the Xiongnu, how much salt and iron would the Li family have to provide?

Gu Ning's eyes were full of disbelief, Zhang Yang paused, and said in a low voice: "I saw it with my own eyes when the Li family and the Xiongnu traded ironware in private! It was also seen by the villagers of Lihua Village!"

"Is this true?" Gu Ning narrowed his eyes lightly, and landed on Zhang Yang, "As far as I know, all the mine veins are under the control of the imperial court. Where did the Li family get it from?"

Zhang Yang clenched his hands and nodded heavily: "The Li family didn't transport the ironware from elsewhere. They just discovered a new iron mine, but they kept it secret."

Under Gu Ning's shocked eyes, Zhang Yang paused every word: "Everyone thinks that there is only jade in Yuezhou, but they don't know that there is an iron mine deep in Yunshan!"

"Back when my sister disappeared and her body was found in a mass grave, the head of Xinyue County made a big fuss. Li became a murderer and wanted to get rid of our family. At that time, we got news from the head of Xinyue County and fled early. "Ewha Village"

"But my parents were one step late because they wanted to collect my sister's body, so they were killed by that scumbag Li Cheng. I was young and hid in the dog hole. Li Cheng never found my trace."

"I was hiding in the dog hole and overheard Li Cheng's conversation with a woman." Zhang Yang said, laughing in a low voice, and sarcastically said, "They didn't expect that the biggest secret of their Li family would be revealed by me." Found."

"The Li family found an iron ore vein in the depths of Yunshan Mountain. They secretly traded the iron ore with the Xiongnu in exchange for a lot of money!"

Gu Ning never expected that he could get such a shocking secret from Zhang Yang's mouth.

"Do you have evidence?" Gu Ning calmed down, "If it's just your one-sided words, I can't guarantee you."

Zhang Yang clenched his hands: "I can take you to that mine, you will know it as soon as you see it."

The shopkeeper at the side immediately shook his head: "Master, you can't go to such a dangerous place! Why don't you let your subordinates take someone to see it! Your subordinates have been in Yuezhou for so many years, and they are quite familiar with the geography of Yuezhou. Understood, I will be able to tell the truth from the truth for you!"

While the shopkeeper was talking, he looked at Gu Ning anxiously, wishing he could replace him with his body.

Gu Ning rolled his eyes: "Okay, I didn't say I was going."

"But..." Under the shopkeeper's worried gaze, Gu Ning propped his chin and thought carefully. The treasure is also in Yunshan, and the mine is also in Yunshan. Is there any connection between them?

So, Gu Ning sat up straight and ordered: "Find him a better place to live, and then ask someone to change his face, and you will follow me from now on."

Hearing this, not only the shopkeeper, but even Zhang Yang was stunned.

"Why..."

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands uneasily, other thoughts popped up in his mind, and he looked at Gu Ning vigilantly.

Gu Ning rubbed his head and said with a sneer: "You are just a 13-year-old child, I have no interest in you at all!"

"That's right!" The shopkeeper put aside the thoughts in his heart, and said with a serious face, "Don't misunderstand my county master! Our Lord Xie looks much better than you!"

Following Gu Ning's vicious look, the shopkeeper instantly fell silent.

Zhang Yang blushed, knowing that he had misunderstood, and quickly responded: "Okay, as long as you can hand over Li Cheng's head to me, I will take you there!"

The shopkeeper sighed from the side: "If it's true as you know, Li Cheng may not be the only head. Everyone in the Li family will be beheaded at the execution ground."
