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

Others don't have the same idea. What they hold in their hands may be enough money that a family can save for ten years without eating or drinking, but no amount of money can make up for the grief of losing their loved ones.

These cries were heard endlessly, and the people who were watching showed their faces unbearable.

They are also fallen people in the world, if the Huns were not stopped outside the city, they would only end up like this, and maybe they would become one of the bones in the thick layer of mass graves.

As soon as Gu Ning appeared, those people with numb faces moved immediately. They knelt down towards Gu Ning in unison, and kept saying, "Thank you, County Lord, for your kindness!"

They knew that without Gu Ning, not only would the money not be in their hands, but the Li Family and Heihu Village would still exist, and they would continue to be pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

Jiang Qian clenched his hands subconsciously. These people admired Gu Ning very much, and he saw fanatical devotion in their eyes.

It is not a good sign that so many princes in the dynasty have never won the hearts of the people, and it appears on a woman like this.

Gu Ning personally helped the person kneeling in front of him up. This was the woman who was rescued outside the city that day - Wu Xiulian.

"County Lord, your great kindness, our Wu family will never forget it!" Wu Xiulian burst into tears, and excitedly held Gu Ning's hand, "You found my father's bones for me, and disposed of them for us. After leaving the Li family, if you have anything to order in the future, even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I will do it for you!"

She looked at Gu Ning nervously, fearing that Gu Ning would refuse.

After she finished speaking, almost the same words rang out from all around. They looked at Gu Ning, wishing they could cut their hearts out and let Gu Ning see their sincerity.

Gu Ning chuckled, and waved his hands towards everyone: "Although I am the head of the county, I also know that your life is hard. When I was in the capital, I always heard my grandfather say that it is not easy for you. You have lived in Yuezhou for generations. Just like the soldiers at the border, guarding the border of our Chu State, it is the dereliction of duty of the officials of Yuezhou to let the Li family run rampant in Yuezhou for so many years. Now that I am here, I must replace the dirty sky above your heads with Once you change it, you will have a blue sky and a bright day!"

When the words were settled, everyone burst into tears.

Fang Chengyu secretly hated: "The majesty of the county is so shameless!"

Now that Gu Ning made such a fuss, wouldn't all the responsibility be pushed on him?Once these news reached the capital, his promotion path would be ruined!Why didn't he see it before, this county lord is a villain with a sweet mouth and a sword in his belly!

When he thought of this, his face became anxious, and he kept winking at Jiang Qian.

However, Jiang Qian was staring at Gu Ning, not paying attention to him at all.

"What are you looking at?" Fang Chengyu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and pushed Jiang Qian hard, "Are you also bewitched by her beauty?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qian turned his head, with boredom written all over his face: "You think I'm Li Cheng?"

He flicked his sleeves fiercely, led Fang Chengyu out of the crowded crowd, and said in a low voice: "I always feel that something is wrong. This Changning county magistrate is not as stupid as the rumors say. If she stays in Yue State, I'm afraid it will affect us."

In an instant, Fang Chengyu's whole body was icy cold: "This... this is my last chance!"

His tone was full of panic and fear, and he no longer looked like he was sure of winning.

The iron ore is gone, the gold and silver in Heihuzhai are gone, if the silver in the market is gone...

The two looked at each other, seeing deep fear in each other's eyes.

"No!" Fang Chengyu gritted his teeth, "We must find a way to get her to leave Yuezhou! There is no room for loss in the market! It is a place that the Jiang family has run for decades!"

Since the late emperor first set up the quiz, the Jiang family has already placed people in the quchang. Over the past few decades, they have obtained tens of thousands of silver from the quchang. This is a huge fortune. The management, the human relations, and even the army...all rely on these money!

Fang Chengyu trembled, and wanted to say something, but Jiang Qian pressed his shoulder.

"The thank you banquet is here." Jiang Qian said in a deep voice, "If you show any clues in front of him, then you and I should just kill ourselves and apologize!"

In an instant, Fang Chengyu's smile, which was uglier than crying, changed, and he returned to his usual expression.

"Thank you, General." Jiang Qian stood tall and tall with Fang Chengyu, staring closely at the tall and straight man in front of him.

Xie Yan had a handsome face, but he had an icy aura all over his body, which made people dare not look at him more. With such a face, it's no wonder that those noble ladies in Beijing are full of love.

Seeing Jiang Qian, Xie Yan stopped in his tracks.

Xie Yan was tall and tall, much taller than Jiang Qian and Fang Chengyu. When he looked at the two of them, he lowered his eyes slightly, and obviously didn't say anything, but his posture was enough to make them feel dissatisfied.

Just when Jiang Qian's face was slightly cold and he was about to speak, Xie Yan spoke first: "Shouldn't Mr. Jiang go to Beidu Protectorate to inspect the questioning field? Why are you in Yuezhou?"

"Master Fang and I have been good friends for many years. When we passed through Yuezhou, we stopped by to see Master Fang." Jiang Qian said with a half-smile, "Besides, what I want to go to the market for inspection is to catch them by surprise, and I can't give them opportunity for rectification."

"So that's the case." Xie Yan had a cold face, but the words he said were somewhat meaningful, "It turns out that Mr. Jiang didn't stay in Yuezhou for the treasures of these bandits."

Xie Yan's words meant something, and Jiang Qian suddenly felt bad.

But before he could find out anything from Xie Yan, Xie Yan had already taken Gu Ning away from the crowd with his long legs.

Seeing Gu Ning getting into the carriage and Xie Yan standing beside the carriage, Jiang Qian's eyelids twitched: "The two of them really..."

"Brother Jiang has seen it too!" Fang Chengyu hurriedly said, "If you come a few days earlier, you will be able to see the inseparable intimacy of the two of them! Let me tell you, the reason why Xie Yan can sit in the current position is because The Changning County Lord took a fancy to his face! Otherwise, why would the Pei family spend so much resources and energy on him?"

Jiang Qian pondered in his heart for a while, and then showed a sinister smile: "It seems that the Pei family has indeed made up their minds to cut off the banquet with His Highness, otherwise, they would not try their best to cultivate a thank-you banquet! "

Fang Chengyu on the side nodded again and again: "That's exactly the reason! When you return to the capital, you must tell His Highness about this! Tell him to be more careful with the Pei family!"

"It's just that there is one thing I can't understand." Jiang Qian's eyes darkened, "Why did the Pei family do this? Among so many princes, only His Highness has the appearance of a real dragon. What's the use of cultivating a thank-you banquet with His Highness?"

If you want your family to prosper forever, the only way to rely on imperial power is the best policy.

Fang Chengyu frowned, thought hard for a while, then shook his head: "Your question really stumps me."

With a cold face, Jiang Qian kept thinking about it in his heart.

The series of methods used by the Pei family revealed strangeness everywhere, but after careful investigation, they did not find any connection between the Pei family and any prince. Did they hide it too well, or did they have other bigger plans?

……

People from all over the place almost smashed the government office. Some of them found the relics of their relatives, and some of them returned without success. However, the overall appearance of Yuezhou has changed unknowingly.

As the bandit nests near Yuezhou disappeared one after another under the encirclement and suppression of the army, traders from Jiangnan, Qizhou, Qingzhou and other places no longer need to detour. This official road, once known as the road of natural danger , revived again.

Near the originally deserted official roads, there are gradually working people, and tea stalls have been set up at some intersections to sell to passers-by. The originally impoverished Yuezhou has gradually become lively.

Fang Chengyu looked at the newly sent news from all over the world, and sighed faintly.

In the past month, the tax revenue of the government office has increased by [-]% compared to before. This is only a month. If things go on like this, Yuezhou will regain its glory just around the corner!

If he was just a magistrate of Yuezhou, he would laugh his teeth out when he saw this tax. This is a rare political achievement. With this political achievement, he can at least be rated as a first-class!

However, he stayed in Yuezhou for other reasons. This significantly increased taxation will not only not allow him to rise to the top, but will increase his burden!

Fang Chengyu frowned and thought hard for a long time before picking up a pen and writing a letter on the rice paper with difficulty.

After writing the letter and handing it to his confidant, he asked again: "Is the Lord Changning leaving?"

"It's just today." The confidant replied, "I haven't set off yet, but the gate of the city is already crowded, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out today."

Hearing this, Fang Chengyu shuddered quickly, stood up and said, "Follow me to the Princess's Mansion! Then send troops to stop those people, and I will personally send her out of the city gate!"

This fiendish god had to go back with great difficulty, he couldn't wait any longer, or things would change if it was too late!

Thinking of this, Fang Chengyu hurried out.

Seeing that he was burning with anxiety, his confidant scratched his head, unable to figure it out: When did your lord become so enthusiastic about the county lord?

In the palace of the princess, Gu Ning drank a cup of tea leisurely, listening to Princess Changle talking about interesting things in recent days, the smile on her face never stopped.

Opposite her, Chu Shiling wrinkled her face and kept winking at her, but she seemed to have never heard of it, and she was still talking to Princess Changle with a smile.

Seeing this, Chu Shi was so angry that she slapped the table.

"What are you doing?" Princess Changle glanced at her lightly, "Ning'er and I are talking happily, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Chu Shiling gritted her teeth: "Why can Gu Ning go to the forum? Why can't I go?"

"Of course it's because you want to cover for Ning'er." Princess Changle said slowly, "Only half-truths and half-falsehoods can convince those who hide in the dark that Ning'er really returned to the name of the capital."

Chu Shiling pursed her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "Always let me cover! Gu Ning is fine, you treat Xie Yan better than me!"
