Chapter 151 Stopping a sedan chair in the street
"You are really brave... You dare to follow me... What benefits did Si Nan give you? I wonder if he told you what would happen to you if you were discovered?"
The man knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I deserve to die... I know I was wrong..."
"What do you think I should do with you? Oh, by the way... since you like Nanfeng Pavilion so much, then you can stay here and be a waiter..."
"Your Highness... I know I was wrong. Please don't let me stay here..." This person knew what Nanfeng Pavilion was. If he stayed in front of his master, he would have food and drink. He only needed to serve his master, but if he stayed in Nanfeng Pavilion, the wind direction would change.
"No...right...you should have heard our conversation just now, right?"
"I didn't hear anything."
"You didn't hear anything, so what's the point of keeping your ears?"
"No? I heard it, but I won't say anything. Your Highness... I know I was wrong. I won't do it again..."
"When you chose to follow me, you had already walked on a path of no return... Since you don't want to stay in Nanfeng Pavilion, then... someone come..." The subordinates of Sang Ning Luosha Pavilion were also outside the house.
"This man has committed treason. We originally wanted to spare his life, but now drag him out and beat him to death with sticks..." The people from Luosha Pavilion took the order and dragged the man out.
"That little servant named Si Nan, you should pay more attention to her. And... this Qin Ye... the harem he controls is not that good, right? Just to win favor, he actually sent people out to follow his master."
"You are the crown prince now, and you will be the future monarch. If you become the monarch, who knows what to do with these people? Do you intend to let them continue to act so presumptuously?"
Shen Yan was right. If things continued like this, it would be very inconvenient for him to do things in the future. Especially Shen Yan...his identity, if it was exposed, it would cause him a lot of inconvenience.
It seems that you are still indecisive when doing things, Si Yuan... I think you have lived enough.
After the two of them had their meal, Shen Yan sent Sang Ning back to the East Palace. The two of them didn't interact much in the carriage.
At this moment, the coachman suddenly pulled the carriage hard. Shen Yan and Sang Ning didn't know what happened in the carriage. Shen Yan opened the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a ragged man who had stopped the carriage of the East Palace.
"Do you know who is sitting in the carriage? You dare to stop the carriage of the Eastern Palace. You are so brave..." Shen Yan looked at the other person with great vigilance. He has been here for more than a year. Even ordinary people don't know that the prince is sitting in the carriage of the Eastern Palace. When they see the display of the Eastern Palace carriage, they know that they are all dignitaries. Under normal circumstances, they will give way when they see them from a distance, but this person deliberately bumped into him. What exactly does this person want to do?
The ragged man shouted, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince... I am innocent... Please help me..."
Shen Yan heard the other party's address and knew that the person sitting in the carriage was the prince. He had stopped the carriage on purpose. But if you have a grievance, you should go to the government. Why are you looking for the prince?
"I say to you...if you have a grievance, go find the government. The person in the carriage is the prince...they can't help you. If you have a grievance, go find the governor of Shuntian Prefecture...don't stop stopping the prince's carriage...you stopped the prince's carriage in the street, which is a capital crime...I won't pursue your case today, just leave quickly...let's go..." Shen Yan lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and went back into the carriage.
Sang Ning did not go out and stayed in the carriage. It was not convenient for her to come forward for such a small matter. It was right for Shen Yan to come forward.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... Only Your Highness the Crown Prince can stand up for the grievances of the common people. Your Highness the Crown Prince... The people of Beili are also your people. Are you going to just watch your people suffer such injustice and do nothing?" The man still refused to leave.
Shen Yan returned to the carriage and jumped off the carriage when he heard the other party making things difficult for him. "Have you gone to the government to file a complaint? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of things to do every day... Are you trying to blackmail me morally by talking like this?"
When the man under the carriage heard Shen Yan say this, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
"I..." The man was a little panicked because he saw many people standing nearby, talking about something.
Citizen A: "How could this man do this? How could he stop the prince's carriage in the street? The prince is right. If you have a grievance, you should go to the government to file a complaint. You haven't even gone to the government to file a complaint yet, so how do you know that the government won't do anything?"
Citizen B: "That's right. Stopping the prince's carriage in the street is a capital crime. Regardless of whether the government can accept your complaint, the prince can execute this person in the street."
Citizen C: "Oh, I think this person is deliberately looking for trouble and trying to get close to the prince. There are many people like him. There is a Mr. Wang not far from our house. He is very wealthy. Many girls are pursuing the young master of his family. Many people are just like the man in front of him. They stop the young master's carriage in the street, and some even faint beside him on purpose. I think people like this should be beaten to death in the street..."
The people were talking about it, and the man was a little panicked at the moment. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he took out a petition from his sleeve and stuffed it into Shen Yan's hand.
"Brother... I don't know who you are to the Crown Prince. Please take a look at my petition. Please let the Crown Prince take a look at my petition. If His Royal Highness really doesn't want to accept my petition, just pretend that I have never been here... If His Royal Highness wants to help me, he can find me with his strength."
After the man finished speaking, he suddenly left the place in a flash.
Shen Yan thought, this person actually knows martial arts. What a powerful martial arts skill. But who is this person?
"Let's go..." Shen Yan jumped onto the carriage. He looked at the complaint and checked it again and again to find no problems, then handed it to Sang Ning.
Sang Ning took the complaint. The handwriting was very beautiful. Who on earth could have stopped the sedan chair to complain?
Sang Ning opened the complaint and read it. The general content of the complaint was that this person claimed to be the legitimate son of the prefect Si Guangyuan, his mother was Yang, and later his father took in a concubine, Xie. Since the concubine entered the mansion, his father favored the concubine and ignored his wife. Later, his father did not allow him to live in the mansion on the grounds that he wanted to study. He had no choice but to move out of the mansion, but a year ago, he returned home and his mother had passed away. He did not see his mother for the last time. When he left home, his mother was in good health. It was only a year, and his mother had passed away. Jia's father said that his mother died suddenly, but he did not believe it.
Later, I lived in the mansion for another three months. My aunt and two brothers could not tolerate me, so they instigated my father, and my father drove me out of the mansion again. He said that my aunt and I were not compatible, so I had no choice but to be driven out of the house again.
I was planning to leave, but then I thought, this is where I used to be. Since I was moving out, I should take some of my mother's things with me as a souvenir. I happened to pass by my two younger brothers' room and heard their conversation. I realized that there was another reason for my mother's death. It turned out that my two younger brothers and my aunt poisoned my mother to death.
