Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

The steward's face was visibly swollen, but he didn't even dare to say a word and quickly knelt down.

As soon as the master revealed the identity of the person, he already knew that he had really provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked this time. Even if the other person didn't care about him, he would never be able to be reused again in his life.

The man in charge was about to cry but had no tears. He was calculating over and over again, but he never expected that this person would be Lord An Guo!

I had heard that he was going to return to Beijing in the near future, why didn't he be more cautious? For a moment, he really wanted to die.

The visitor ignored him, waved away the people gathered in front of the stairs, swung his robe and climbed up the steps. He smiled before saying anything: "My subordinates are ignorant and have disturbed Duke An Guo's mood. Why don't we let me leave today?" Wang Zuodong, please come to the mansion to see Duke An."

"You're welcome, Fourth Prince," Yang Yan was still leaning on the railing, shaking the hand holding the melon seeds lazily at him, and said, "Since your subordinates are ignorant, of course they are not your fault. You can do things alone. If only one person is responsible, whoever does something wrong should be punished.”

As he moved, a melon seed slipped out from between his fingers and fell on the wooden floor, making a crisp "click" sound, which was particularly loud in the quiet air.

The fourth prince's smile froze almost imperceptibly, but he quickly covered it up: "What Duke An Guo said is that someone is coming!"

He gave a soft drink, pointed to the steward below who had collapsed into a ball, and said, "Drag him down for me and punish him according to the rules of the house."

"Wait!" Yang Yan stopped him.

The two people who were about to take someone didn't move for a moment, nor did they move. They quietly watched the master's face, and when he waved his hand, they retreated as if they were being forgiven.

"Does An Guogong want to deal with this shameless thing with his own hands?" The gentle smile on the fourth prince's face did not change, he unfolded the fan in his hand and waved it twice, and said, "If this is the case, I will send someone to kill him later. He sent it to your house."

Yang Yan looked at him strangely and said, "The state has national laws and families have family rules. Since he has done something wrong, of course he should be sent to Shuntian Mansion and asked to be tried by the governor. How can he be lynched rashly?"

The fourth prince was immediately choked. He closed his fan with a swish, stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Today's matter is serious. It is said that he bumped into Anguo Gong without looking at you. But if he is convicted on this basis, it will inevitably happen. If you attract gossip, I'm afraid it will harm your reputation."

"According to what I said, it's better to deal with him quietly. Mr. An Guo, if you let out a bad breath, it won't affect your reputation. Why not?"

"The fourth prince really thinks about me!" Yang Yan glanced at him with a half-smile, "But I am not the kind of person who bullies others with power, and lynching is even more unavoidable."

"You!" He pointed at the captain of the city patrol army who was trying his best to reduce his presence and said, "Go and ask your governor to come over. There are people here who are selling substandard goods and maliciously raising the prices of goods. When customers raise objections, He is trying to use force, but I would like to ask him whether he cares or not?"

How dare the squad leader respond? He hesitated and glanced at the fourth prince's face to see if he had any instructions.

At this time, the smile on the face of the fourth prince could no longer be maintained. This dynasty has a pricing supervision system, and goods need to be priced before they are allowed to be listed for trading. However, this policy is to stabilize prices, focusing on aspects related to people's livelihood such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The bar he opened catered to dignitaries, wealthy people and gentry. The main thing he sold was novelty and interesting things, and because of his face, although the drinks were a little more expensive, no one ever raised any objections.

However, once this incident occurs, no matter how it is decided in the end, he will definitely be embarrassed. If the news reaches his father's ears, it will definitely affect his impression.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely kill the person directly. Even if he is a powerful political opponent, he is not worried. Who among you doesn't have some control over each other? Whoever dares to expose this little thing about him will dare to expose the other party about bigger things.

But this man was Duke An Guo, who had a lot of troops. He stayed at the border for a long time and earned enough money from fighting alone that he could never use it up in several lifetimes. There was no need to buy any more profitable properties.

Although the Sheng family came from a poor family, they were surprisingly harmonious and close, and there was no way to provoke them even if they wanted to. Moreover, their family's upbringing was strict, so there was no chance of tempting their nephews to do wrong things.

As for the conspiracy and frame-up, unless there is absolute certainty that it will not be discovered, the 500,000 troops in the hands of An Guogong are not vegetarian!

Countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the fourth prince, but in the end he had no choice but to abandon his car to save his commander. His face suddenly changed color, he pointed at the steward downstairs and shouted: "You bastard! I entrust my property to you. , How dare you do such a thing without telling me?”

The steward felt happy when he heard this. He was like this now. In short, he would not end well, but if he helped his master take the blame, he might get something better.

So he recognized it without hesitation, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "It's a stupid villain who only wants to run a good business for the prince, but he didn't expect that doing so would violate the law. Please punish the prince."

"You -" the fourth prince sighed and said, "You have been following me for a long time, but why don't you understand my thoughts?"

"This property was originally built to provide relief to orphaned elderly people and orphaned children. How can you make those who are being rescued feel at ease with the money you obtained through such unscrupulous means?"

"It's the villain's fault," the steward cried bitterly, with no trace of hypocrisy on his face. "The villain just wanted to help the prince solve his problems, but he didn't expect that he would cause you trouble instead. The villain deserves a lot of punishment." die!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Yang Yan finally finished crushing the melon seeds in his hand and clapped his hands three times: "What a loyal and courageous servant! Fourth Prince, if you can't bear to be such a loyal servant, I will Hou could just turn a blind eye and let the matter pass."

If he had been more sincere when he said this, maybe the Fourth Prince would actually believe it.

"No!" He suppressed the twitching of his face and said righteously, "Just like An Guogong said, the state has national laws and the family has family rules. Since he has violated the law, he should accept the punishment."

The fourth prince closed his eyes forcefully, as if he couldn't bear it, but he still gave the order: "If you take the person back to Shuntian Mansion, just say it was me who said it, and he will be punished severely according to the law."

"Yes." The captain of the city patrol army was eager to get out of the whirlpool of their fight quickly. After receiving the order, he immediately asked his men to hold the person, and then prepared to retreat.

"Wait." Yang Yan's voice sounded again.

The captain's scalp felt numb for a while, and he really wanted to pretend he didn't hear anything and leave quickly, but unfortunately he didn't dare, so he had to stop again and bite the bullet to listen to what other monsters this uncle had.

As he expected, Yang Yan did not give up: "I would like to remind you, governor, that this store is illegally obtaining profits. Remember to seal it down."

The fourth prince's five fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, and one of the jade bones of the fan was broken, making a slight crisp sound.

He hated him half to death, but when An Guogong looked sideways at him, he still kept smiling.

"The fourth prince shouldn't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" Yang Yan chuckled lightly and said.

"How could it be?" The fourth prince smiled gently, "Dong Anguo is thoughtful and considerate. I still need to learn more from you."

"Then I'm afraid there is no chance," Yang Yan said bluntly. Seeing that the smile on his face froze, he added, "I will not be able to stay in the capital for long. I will leave again in two or three months, and the fourth prince will be here again." It is impossible to go to the border with the army."

"Yes, why didn't I think of this?" The fourth prince smiled mockingly and said, "What a pity..."

As for what is a pity, I am afraid only he himself knows.

After playing the role of a troublemaker, he successfully eliminated an industry in which women had sex with their husbands. Yang Yan had enough of admiring the change of face of the fourth prince, and left with satisfaction.

"Sanhuo, when did you become enemies with the Fourth Prince?" When no one was around, Wu Xingwen asked with a serious face what he had been holding back for a long time.

After working together on the battlefield for so many years, if he didn't know that what he did before was intentional, then this friendship between brothers would be in vain.

Yang Yan smiled and said, "If I told you it was a previous life, would you believe it?"

"I believe it!" Wu Xingwen glanced at him, "I believe it, you big-headed idiot! If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Why are you lying to me with such nonsense?"

Yang Yan spread his hands helplessly: "I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe it yourself, what can I do?"

Wu Xingwen was so angry that he kicked the horse's belly hard. The horse whined in pain, raised four hooves and galloped away. In the blink of an eye, only a blurry figure of his back was left.

"You're so angry!" Yang Yan shook his head helplessly, still letting the horse walk slowly, without any sense of guilt that he just walked away from his companion in anger.

Feeling hungry, he was thinking about which of his subordinates he should go with to eat and drink with him, when the person who just left in anger unexpectedly turned around and came back.

"No matter why you insist on confronting him," Wu Xingwen said with a sullen face, "Anyway, if you need my help, just ask."

Yang Yan still had that ungrateful smile on his face: "Yes, if there is need, I will definitely come to you."

"I'm telling you the truth, don't take it seriously." Wu Xingwen said angrily, "Who do you think that is? The prince of a country, he is the emperor!"

"You want to touch him, how could the old emperor let you go? That old man has long disliked you. If it weren't for the fear that the 500,000 troops in your hands would mutiny, do you think you could still live in peace until now?"

"I am telling the truth, I know it well." Yang Yan said cheerfully, "If I am no longer the emperor, do you think he can pull him up?"

"You want to rebel?" Wu Xingwen was shocked.
