Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

"Are you still going to bet?"

Seeing that the next round of dice rolling was about to begin, Li Yaozu was still standing next to the gambling table. Others who wanted to place bets spoke with some dissatisfaction when they were blocked by him.

"I......"

Li Yaozu searched his entire body but couldn't find a single copper coin.

"You have no money?"

Seeing that Li Yaozu had searched his entire body but couldn't find a single copper coin, the people nearby kindly offered him advice, "Brother, if you're out of money, you can use other things as collateral. Anything here can be mortgaged. You can redeem it when you win."

The man pointed to a place not far away and said to Li Yaozu, "See? It's right there. If you have any good things, you can go there to pawn them for silver."

"really?"

Li Yaozu followed the direction of the man's finger and saw the words "Mortgage for Silver" and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Whether it's true or not, you can just ask and find out."

The man rolled his eyes impatiently at Li Yaozu's question.

After seeing Li Yaozu leave, they quickly occupied the place originally occupied by Li Yaozu and started placing bets.

After Li Yaozu learned about the mortgage, the first thing he thought of was the most valuable jade pendant in his house.

only......

When he thought about the jade pendant that would allow people to contribute money to him continuously in the future, he felt a little conflicted.

At this time...

The manager in charge of the mortgaged items seemed to notice Li Yaozu's hesitation and entanglement, so he advised: "Sir, we are only responsible for keeping the mortgaged items for you. When you redeem them later, won't the items still be yours?"

"But......"

Li Yaozu naturally understood the principle of mortgaging things, he was just worried that if he didn't have the money to redeem them, he would suffer a huge loss.

Seeing that Li Yaozu was still hesitating, the steward said casually, "Why didn't your friend who came with you earlier come today? I see you've been short of money these past few days with him. If he were with you, would you still be short of money?"

"I've been in this gambling house for at least a few decades, and this is the first time I've seen someone with such good luck!"

When Li Yaozu heard the steward mention An Qi, he instantly felt more confident about redeeming the jade pendant. His originally hesitant heart immediately became firm. "Okay, I know what to do. Steward, just wait."

After Li Yaozu finished speaking, he hurried out. He planned to go home and steal the jade pendant that Li Zhaodi had left. When he won money, he could redeem the jade pendant.

In just half a day, Li Yaozu arrived with the jade pendant. "Manager, how much silver can I get as collateral for this jade pendant?"

After Li Yaozu handed the jade pendant to the manager, he looked at him expectantly.

It's obvious that his jade pendant is a good thing, and it must be worth several thousand taels of silver.

With so much money backing him up, doesn't he believe that he can't win?

Whenever he thought about the fact that he could win money without relying on An Qi, he felt indescribably happy.

"This jade pendant of yours is worth one hundred taels of silver!"

The steward took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, confirming that this was the jade pendant they were looking for. After nodding secretly in his heart, he looked at Li Yaozu and pointed with a finger.

"What? This jade pendant can only be mortgaged for one hundred taels of silver?"

Li Yaozu couldn't believe his ears. He suspected that his ears were broken, otherwise how could he hear that this jade pendant of such good quality was only worth one hundred taels of silver?

Although their family had never been able to earn a hundred taels of silver in the past ten years, this was not enough for him since he had won a lot of silver recently by following An Qi!

"Sir, this is just a mortgage, not a sale to our gambling house, so you can't really tell how much this jade pendant is worth!"

The steward looked Li Yaozu up and down at his clothes and said, "I'm just thinking about you. The more you pledge, the more money you'll have to pay to redeem it!"

There was undisguised contempt in the steward's eyes as he spoke.

Li Yaozu was very unhappy with the steward's look. He immediately became furious and pointed at the steward and said angrily, "Don't look down on me. Are you worried that I won't be able to redeem the jade pendant in the future, or what?"

"I've won at least several hundred taels of silver these past few days. How can I not pay back a mere hundred taels?"

The steward was not annoyed by Li Yaozu's attitude of pointing at him and said calmly, "It's at most one thousand taels. Can you afford it?"

Li Yaozu was stunned for a moment when he heard the amount of money the steward suddenly reported. Then he was overjoyed. Fearing that the steward would suddenly change his mind, he anxiously said, "Mortgage! Give me the mortgage quickly!"

"Okay, here are ten silver notes of one hundred taels each, keep them!"

The steward quickly completed the mortgage procedures for Li Yaozu and handed him ten silver notes.

He specially prepared silver notes worth one hundred taels for Li Yaozu, the purpose of which was naturally to make it easier for Li Yaozu to use the silver notes at the gambling table.

Anyway, whether it's one hundred or one thousand taels, the money will eventually return to their gambling house...

As for the jade pendant that had already been obtained, he naturally arranged for someone to send it to the capital by express horse.

............

Imperial City, East Palace.

"Master, this is the jade pendant you wanted."

An Yi knelt on the ground and held the jade pendant in front of Lan Xin with both hands.

"Yeah, not bad! You all did a great job this time!"

Lan Xin took the jade pendant handed over by An Yi and couldn't help but praise it.

Lan Xin knew very well the process of these secret guards trying to steal the jade pendant from the heroine Li Zhaodi's younger brother Li Yaozu, thanks to the system.

The laws of this dynasty are strict. These secret guards did not violate any law when they took the jade pendant from Li Zhaodi's hand. They did a good job. They are indeed subordinates trained by her father. Their personalities are quite similar to his father's.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

An Yi lowered his eyes and bowed respectfully to Lan Xin. His facial expression did not change, as if completing the task assigned by his master perfectly was just a very ordinary thing.

Lan Xin didn't care about An Yi's expression of neither surprise nor joy. She just waved at him and said calmly, "Go down!"

"Yes, Master!"

As the words fell, An Yi's figure quickly disappeared in the hall.

Lan Xin held the jade pendant in her hand under the light and saw the word "Ze" on it, and she was sure that this was the jade pendant that belonged to Xiao Jingze.

Now, even if Xiao Jingze recovers his memory, without this identity jade pendant, how can he prove that he is the missing Crown Prince?

Lan Xin is looking forward to this!

After all, there are so many people in the world who look somewhat similar. Just because Xiao Jingze looks similar to the missing Crown Prince, it cannot prove that he is him!
