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

"Is this the largest restaurant in the royal city?"

Xie Yan glanced at the furnishings of Manxiang Tower, and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"It's far behind compared to the ones in the capital."

Hearing this, Yue Rong immediately stepped forward and showed a uniquely flattering smile: "Master, please calm down. This is indeed the largest restaurant in the royal city. I know that you have high demands, but we still make do with it when we are away from home." some!"

Xie Yan snorted dissatisfied, but didn't say anything else.

But people around him could clearly feel Xie Yan's dislike for Manxiang Tower, which made some people who were proud to live in Manxiang Tower feel extremely aggrieved.

Where did the stunned head come from?

However, looking at Xie Yan's clothes with gold edges and the tall and slim beauty beside him, they swallowed the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Looking at this appearance, I am afraid he is a traveling businessman with considerable wealth.

Yue Rong quickly handed the money to the waiter: "Free up all your upper rooms!"

"Put it down." Xie Yan said impatiently, "How many times do you have to tell me? I don't like living with outsiders."

"Yes, yes!" Yue Rong was sweating profusely and took out another ingot of gold: "My young master said that he would take over all your restaurants!"

"Please invite all those people away. My young master does not want to live under the same roof with outsiders." Yue Rong took out the gold ingots from his pocket as he spoke.

The waiter's eyes almost glowed green when he looked at the bright yellow gold in front of him.

"Okay!" Behind him, the shopkeeper who came after hearing the news quickly took Jin Zi into his arms, with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, we will put the other guests out right away."

Originally, all the traveling merchants lived in this Manxiang Building, but overnight the traveling merchants disappeared. He only needed to settle those customers and he could take on such a large business. Why not?

The shopkeeper personally invited Xie Ban to the upper room and said, "If the young master has any instructions, just send someone to call the younger one."

Xie Yan nodded, glanced at Yue Rong, and threw another ingot of gold to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. He quickly held the gold in his arms and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"

"Let me ask you, what is the price of salt here?" Xie Yan said lazily.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned.

Xie Yan frowned impatiently. Before he could speak, the shopkeeper asked: "Master, do you want to sell salt?"

Xie Yan nodded, not bothering to elaborate with the shopkeeper. With a wave of his hand, Yue Rong said loudly: "Of course! Our young master has a thousand acres of salt fields in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"That is to say, I heard that your salt is expensive, so my young master came all the way here in order to complete the task assigned by the master at home."

"Nuo." Yue Rong nuzzled at the shopkeeper, "The cars outside are full of salt. We still have a lot of salt stored in a hidden place and haven't been transported here yet."

The shopkeeper's eyes were blazing as he stared at the carriages at the door, his heart almost beating out of his chest.

"Should... Seriously?"

"Of course!" Yue Rong's eyes widened, "Are we still going to lie to you? This is all going to be sold for money! If you don't believe it, just come over and take a look when we sell it!"

Xie Yan snorted coldly: "Why are you talking to him so much? Clean the house earlier, I want to rest."

As he spoke, he took Gu Ning into his arms.

Gu Ning snorted and leaned weakly on Xie Yan's shoulder: "Master, be gentle."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly looked away.

Seeing that Yue Rong was about to leave, he hurriedly followed him.

"This little brother!" The shopkeeper followed Yue Rong diligently, "I wonder if you can even out some salt."

While talking, the shopkeeper also took out the gold ingots he had just obtained: "I don't want these golds, I just want more salt!"

Yue Rong was stunned when he heard this: "The price of salt here is actually more expensive than gold?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "That's cheaper than gold, but we can't buy it! You don't know, the salt on the black market has been sold for one tael of silver or one tael of salt."

"There's still a war going on at the border. No one knows when the war will end. If we don't buy some salt, I'm afraid I'll get sick and die!"

The more the shopkeeper talked, the more desolate he felt. He looked at Yue Rong with sincerity in his eyes: "I wonder if I can give me some salt? You can stay in Manxiang House as long as you want, and all the room fees will be used for it." Change the salt.”

Yue Rong waved his hand: "What a big deal I was at that time!"

"Isn't it just salt!" Yue Rong called a guard angrily, "Go and bring a bag of salt to the shopkeeper!"

When the shopkeeper heard it was a bag of salt, his eyes almost glowed green: "A bag of salt? How much salt did you bring?"

Yue Rong folded his hands around his chest and raised his chin very high: "Didn't I just say it? The salt field allocated to my young master covers thousands of acres, and there is too much salt to count. But in our country of Chu, salt cannot be sold at a high price. Sell ​​it, in order to complete my master’s assessment, my young master has no choice but to come to your place.”

"If I can sell all the salt in my hands, my young master will pass the test."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was overjoyed.

But the guard actually came over with a sack on his shoulders. When the shopkeeper opened it, he saw that it was full of white fine salt, and his breathing became rapid.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!" The shopkeeper burst into tears of gratitude.

Yue Rong waved his hand generously: "It's just a bag of salt. The salt we brought this time is enough for you to eat for a year!"

"Tell me, where can I sell salt? I heard that there is a fight at your border. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. We have to sell the salt quickly."

The shopkeeper looked hesitant after hearing this.

Seeing this, Yue Rong narrowed his eyes: "What? Do you want to regret it?"

When he said this, the guard beside him had already drawn the knife from his waist.

"No, no, no!" The shopkeeper was sweating profusely and waved his hands quickly, "I just want to tell my brother that the movements in the city these days are very strange. Several salt merchants and tea merchants have been killed, and other traveling merchants have also fled. If you take action at this time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Hearing this, Yue Rong snorted coldly: "We have brought hundreds of guards, and we are not afraid of those little ones at all!"

"Besides, your Khan just watched those traveling merchants escape? Aren't you afraid that no one will come to sell salt to you Huns again?"

The shopkeeper sighed deeply: "We ordinary people don't know what Khan thinks, but... if there is really no salt, then we ordinary people will not have to live."

Yue Rong waved his hand: "Renovate for one day, and let's go out to explore the wind tomorrow."

The shopkeeper watched Yue Rong leave, feeling envious in his heart.

I really don’t know what kind of treasure Chu country is, but the salt that is so valuable to them cannot be sold at a high price in Chu country.

……

Inside the royal court.

"Salt?"

When Yu Wenzheng heard this, he immediately sat up straight, not even caring about the beauty beside him.

"how many?"

"I heard there were more than a dozen cars!" A confidant said with excitement, "And the boy next to the traveling merchant casually handed over a sack of salt, as if salt was a stone that can be seen everywhere!"

"My subordinates also got a lot of information, saying that these dozen carts of salt were just part of what this traveling merchant brought. He also hid a large amount of salt, just waiting to be sold!"

Yu Wenzheng immediately stood up and shouted: "Pick up the guy and kill him now!"

"By then, the salt will all be ours!"

However, as soon as Yu Wenzheng walked out of the east hall, he saw Wu Zixu coming in a hurry.

He felt guilty for a moment, but quickly straightened his back: "Second cousin, why are you here?"

"What are you going to do, Khan?" Wu Zixu said with a sullen face, "Are you going to kill people and seize wealth again?"

Yu Wenzheng felt even more guilty when he saw Wu Zixu's eyes, but after he felt guilty, he said confidently: "These traveling merchants are greedy. In Chu State, they sell salt for one hundred coins per catty for one tael of silver here. Two! What’s wrong with me killing them?”

"If I want to buy salt from them, how much money will it cost for my 1 men? It's better to kill them and grab the salt!"

Wu Zixu sighed deeply: "Khan, you are confused!"

"You only see the immediate benefits, but you don't see that in the future, those traveling merchants will never come to the Xiongnu territory again because they are afraid of being killed for treasure. By then, we won't be able to buy it even if we want to!"

Yu Wenzheng looked impatient: "Second cousin, don't try to persuade me. These businessmen are all invincible. Since they can sell for a big price to our Xiongnu, they will fall into a trap even if they know that there is a dead end ahead!"

Before Wu Zixu could persuade him again, Yu Wenzheng had already walked out with his sword in hand and disheveled clothes.

However, after taking just a few steps, Yu Wenzheng saw an uninvited guest.

"Why are you here?" Yu Wenzheng secretly squeezed the sword in his hand and stared at the person in front of him warily.

Yu Wenxu's face was ashen. He stood in front of Yu Wenzheng, and his voice was squeezed out through his teeth: "Why am I here? You don't even look at the good things you have done! You even have the nerve to ask me!"

"Did you send people to kill Huang Chong and several other salt merchants and tea merchants?" Yu Wenxu strode forward and asked with red eyes.

Yu Wenzheng didn't take it seriously, but when he saw the anger in Yu Wenxu's eyes, he subconsciously asked the guards around him to step forward. However, as soon as the guards came up, they were stopped by the people brought by Yu Wenxu.

"Yu Wenxu! What do you want to do! Do you want to kill me?" Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Wenzheng immediately shouted loudly, "My second cousin is still here! If you kill me, the next moment my ten thousand The army will immediately crush the royal court!"

Yu Wenxu pinched Yu Wenzheng's collar with both hands, his eyes full of anger: "I really want to kill you!"

"You idiot!" Yu Wenxu gritted his teeth and said, "You killed Huang Chong and several others. If you just stop here, you can at least get a charge to get away with it."

"But now you actually want to attack Mr. Xie! Are you crazy?"

"Thank you, Mr. Xie? What are you, Mr. Xie?" Yu Wenzheng shouted, "I didn't do anything!"

"The person you wanted to kill just now was Mr. Xie!" Yu Wenxu could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and slapped Yu Wenzheng hard on the face.

Yu Wenzheng covered his face, but before he could speak, another slap hit him in the face.

"Mr. Xie is the son of a salt merchant from the south of the Yangtze River. He has thousands of acres of salt fields under his name. Do you know what this means? It means that we only need to win him over, and we will have an endless supply of salt from now on!"

"You idiot is short-sighted and only knows how to kill the goose to get the eggs!" Yu Wenxu scolded, "The war is coming, and the most urgent thing is salt! You killed Mr. Xie and robbed these dozen carts of salt. What happens next? What happens next?"

Yu Wenzheng was scolded so badly that he was stunned.

Yu Wenxu stared at him with terrifying eyes, and he subconsciously turned his attention to Wu Zixu for help.

"The eldest prince." Wu Zixu took a step forward and separated the two of them.

"I will definitely keep an eye on the fourth prince and never let him make mistakes." Wu Zixu said, "You have exceeded your limits today."

Yu Wenxu withdrew his vicious gaze and suppressed the anger on his face: "I will give you this face! You must keep an eye on him! Otherwise...even if I risk my life, I will definitely kill him!" "

After that, Yu Wenxu strode away.

After all Yu Wenxu's people left, Yu Wenzheng touched his nose and said angrily: "Isn't he just a traveling businessman? If he is so excited, is he colluding with that traveling businessman behind my back?"

"Second cousin, you have to keep an eye on them!"

"My minister obeys."

Wu Zixu immediately lowered his head and agreed solemnly.
