Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 24 The Reason
"????" Ye Junwen had a black question mark on his face, what the hell is this, I can't keep up with the rhythm.

"Selena!" Ella, the female knight next to her, also became a little anxious and shouted immediately.

"Obviously, you and them should not be in the same group." Selena stopped Ella from speaking again, and then continued to Ye Junwen, "You just said that you are a businessman, so make a deal with me .”

"Well... In short, I just pretend to be you, and then you pretend to be my fiancee, right?" Ye Junwen probably understood, "After all, you seem to be being hunted down now, which means I will be your shadow warrior, right? .”

"What is a shadow warrior?" Selina didn't know the word very well, but she still knew the general meaning of Ye Junwen, "It's not the same as what you think, it's not the kind of situation where you are asked to die for me, but this The land needs a male heir."

Selena looked at Ye Junwen, and then quickly explained the current situation.The cause of everything was Selena's father, the former city lord, Trio Clovis.The Clovis city lord was injured before, causing him to lose his fertility. Fortunately, his wife was pregnant, and he did not cut off his heirs.However, what I didn't expect was that the child born was indeed a girl, and of course it was Selena in front of me.

According to the inheritance law of the empire, the male priority inheritance law, although girls can inherit the family business, the premise is that there is no suitable male heir in the family.However, the Clovis family has other male heirs, because the Lord Trio also has a younger brother, Lei Luo Clovis, who is Selina's uncle. If the Lord has no male heirs, according to the inheritance law, the first heir It is his younger brother.

Of course, both of them belong to the same family. In theory, there seems to be no problem with the succession of the younger brother, but the relationship between the Lord Clovis and his younger brother is not very good. He knew his younger brother's desire for the title in order to seek to inherit the title. So once my younger brother succeeds to the throne, my whole family will definitely die without a place to die.Of course, he also loves his wife and daughter Selena very much, so he thought of a way to let his daughter Selena pretend to be a male heir.

So Selina became Selina, except for her parents and a few confidantes of the city lord, no one else knew about it.Selena was also raised as a boy since she was a child. When she announced it to the public, she also said that the city lord had a male heir. However, the problem is that girls can also develop, and it is a bit hard to hide it when they grow up at an age.

So the city lord sent Selena to another place, in fact, of course, to hide.Originally, according to Trio's plan, he should get rid of his younger brother first, and then announce Selena's true identity. At that time, there will be no competitors anyway, so of course it doesn't matter, but what I didn't expect was that Unexpectedly, Trio himself died suddenly. As a result, Selena received the news and had to rush back to preside over the overall situation.

As for his uncle Leiluo Clovis, this is more troublesome. Although the other party did not inherit the title, he is doing well.He also has his own forces, and he can be difficult to deal with, so the city lord Clovis can't find any chance to kill the opponent.

As for the rumors outside, Selena, the son of the city lord, had leprosy and insanity. Of course, these were all caused by Lei Luo. Do it, so I tried to find a way to do it from his only heir.Of course, he didn't know that the child of Lord Clovis was a girl, otherwise it would have been announced long ago. He only knew that Selina rarely showed up in front of outsiders, so these rumors corrupted her.For these rumors, although the city lord of Clovis was angry, he couldn't clarify it, because the best way was to let Selina show up and say that it was all fake, but she couldn't show up, because the inheritance law here is in this way.

"So these assassins were also sent by your uncle?" Ye Junwen nodded after listening and asked.

"Obviously, there is no need to investigate." Selena said, "As long as I die, the land and title will be all his, so who else can do such a thing except him."

Ye Junwen asked a few more questions and found that the current situation was very critical.Ye Junwen was also surprised before, although it was said that there were assassins, it was too easy to sneak into the city lord's mansion by himself, but now he probably knows what's going on from Selina's mouth.The reason is very simple, that is because most of the soldiers in the city have followed the city lord to the front line to fight. Didn’t it be said that the city lord was killed in battle? There were not many people, so the number of soldiers in the city was also small. Coupled with the assassination, it was easier for Ye Junwen to sneak in.

As for the few people outside, they are all civil servants in the city, military generals and the like are all on the front line, these civil servants, they don't know Selena very well, after all Selena has been away from the city for 4 years, Selena came back here in the middle of the night last night, and entered the city in secret, and they had mistaken Ye Junwen before, and they never thought that Selena would be a woman. A man and a woman naturally regarded Ye Junwen as the new city lord.

As for the female knight Ella beside her, she is Selena's personal guard, a knight who swore allegiance to Selena, and of course she knows Selena's identity.

"So that's how it is." Ye Junwen has fully understood the current situation, and Selena really needs a substitute. It just so happened that someone mistook him for her. Maybe the other party thought of this plan, so he took the opportunity to propose a deal to him. .If the new city lord is a man, all the problems will be easier to solve. Lei Luo over there wants to seek the title, but he doesn't use normal means.Because if Selina is a woman, Lei Luo's claim to power is higher than that of Selina, and the other party can use legitimate means to claim that the title belongs to him, and even call other people to help, because his reasons are legal, but now If he can't, the difference is still huge.

"I've already said my story, now let's talk about yours." Selena said suddenly, "I've heard this, I think you should have this idea too, right?"

Ye Junwen really had this idea. Originally, he wanted to cooperate with the nobles. After all, if he found someone to help, his progress would be very smooth. Otherwise, he would not know where to start. The cooperation of the nobles means that you directly become a nobleman, which seems to be more enjoyable and more convenient to do things.

"My name is Ye Junwen." Ye Junwen said directly.

"This name is a bit strange." Selena also said, and the few people before heard Ye Junwen's name also felt strange.

"Yes, I'm actually not from here." Ye Junwen said, "I come from a distant country called Datang, and I belong to a consortium, or your chamber of commerce. The purpose of my coming here is to To do business here, simply put, is to do business here, but the prices of the things I want to sell are relatively high, not for ordinary civilians, so I want to find some nobles to cooperate."

"A businessman?" Selena nodded, "You just said you sell salt, is it still true?"

"It is indeed true." Ye Junwen nodded, "The first batch of goods I brought is really salt. Of course it is very precious salt. It is different from the ones here, and of course the price is relatively high."

Ye Junwen has also investigated it before, after all, it is something he wants to sell.There are salt, sugar and other things here, of course, but because of the manufacturing process, they are all crude things. Have you ever seen yellow, red, or even black salt?This is the kind of thing used here, and it must be because of the poor manufacturing process that the trace elements are not filtered clean, so there are impurities of various colors.And what Ye Junwen is holding is the salt produced by modern industry, of course they are both pure white and free of impurities, the appearance of the two sides is different, Ye Junwen of course will not sell it at the normal price.

But what Selina is concerned about now is not the problem of Ye Junwen's products at all, she still has the problem of survival that has not been resolved, and she can't take money into consideration.

"That's good. If you cooperate with me in this way, you will be the new city owner here. Of course, it is very simple to open a chamber of commerce here. In this way, we can cooperate, right?" Selena asked.

"You... are right." Ye Junwen thought about it for a while, and decided to agree to Selena's deal. After all, it is good for him. Then you said the danger?If it doesn't exist, Ye Junwen is not afraid of death in the first place, and if he becomes a nobleman, it will be very convenient for him to arouse hatred.

He remembered one thing, that was the first time he was killed by Huang Mao, the other party seemed to recognize the wrong person and regarded him as Liu Jiaqiang, but even if he made a mistake, his ring still played a role, That is to say, as long as the goal is for oneself, no matter whether you admit the wrong person or not, it can be counted.Now I don't have any grievances in another world, but there are people I want to pretend to be. Isn't this his uncle or someone who hates her? In other words, not only is I not in danger now, if I want to find a way to go back, find someone It is also much more convenient.

"But the question about your fiancée..." Ye Junwen asked.

"From now on, my identity is your fiancée, and then, it is not impossible to make this matter real, as long as...you can survive." Selina said.
