At this time, Zhan Yan had transformed into a merchant and entered Liuli City. He was sitting on a tall horse and wearing pink and purple brocade clothes, which made his face look like a jade and extraordinarily handsome.

He is in the jewelry business, so naturally he has to dress brightly and flamboyantly.

He was about to rent a shop on the street when he suddenly heard a cry from the front: "Let go of my husband, he is already a married man, why are you trying to take him away?"

Zhan Yan could see far away, and over the heads of the people watching the excitement, he saw a young man in brocade clothes being pulled by several strong men.

Not far away was an inconspicuous carriage parked, and it was obvious that those strong men were taking orders from her.

At this time, Ying Yi came up to him and asked, "My Lord, should we go up and help? Look at that frail scholar, his clothes have been torn to shreds, and his wife is crying so pitifully. We can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Zhan Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "This Liuli City is really strange. I've only ever heard of bullies on the street forcibly seizing women, but this time there's a twist. It's actually a wicked woman seizing a man?"

A commoner watching the excitement nearby subconsciously looked at him: "Hey, young master, you are absolutely right. Also, why are you dressed like this? It seems that this is your first time in our Liuli City. Our city's Second Miss Ning specializes in snatching up handsome young masters. You are in danger like this. Hide quickly, or change your clothes!"

Zhan Yan narrowed his eyes. Second Miss Ning?

Such arrogance, could it be related to Du Mingfeng?

He subconsciously asked, "Old man, what exactly does this Second Miss Ning rely on? She is so arrogant, doesn't the general of your city's garrison care?"

The old man lowered his voice and reminded, "Her support is that General Du. Her biological sister is Madam Du. Tell me, who would dare to mess with her?"

Zhan Yan quickly squeezed his horse's belly and headed straight for the bustling center.

The old man was startled. He shouted anxiously, "You young man, why did you walk into this trap? You thought you could enjoy life in the Ning Mansion, but it's like hell. Once you get in, you can't get out!"

Ying smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, old man. My son is a nosy person. If someone robs a girl in the street, he might not do anything, but if someone robs a man, he will definitely not tolerate it!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "Your young master, is he a homosexual?"

Yingyi's eyes went dark, and he seemed to see a strange trace of sympathy in the old man's eyes.

He quickly denied it: "No, our son is fine, he already has three children!"

After saying that, he ran after Zhan Yan.

Because I ran too fast, I almost fell to the ground.

The old man couldn't help but sympathize and said, "You still say it's not true, but you can't even walk properly. The world is really going downhill. What kind of world is this? There are still men standing up for men?"

Zhan Yan had no idea how much he had misunderstood the old man. He rushed in and shouted, "Stop it! In broad daylight, you're robbing people in the street! You're so bold!"

Because his shout was too abrupt, the strong men subconsciously stopped.

The frail man was freed, and he crawled to his wife, leaned on her, and trembled.

The sturdy man glanced at the carriage not far away without leaving a trace. He fell down and said, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows impatiently: "As a man of integrity, you should naturally help others when you see injustice. You are robbing people in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid of being reported to the authorities?"

The sturdy man burst into laughter. He had been in Liuli City for so many years, but he had never seen such a fool.

Return it to the government!

Doesn’t this idiot know that the government office is run by the Ning family?

He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

Zhan Yan was still sitting upright on his tall horse, and even took out a fan from his sleeve and fanned himself back and forth.

If someone could see the words written on it, they would definitely have a complicated expression, because there are four big words written on it: "I am the most beautiful!"

The sturdy man obviously saw it clearly. He slowly stopped laughing and said, "Sir, are you new here?"

Zhan Yan nodded. "Yes, I'm planning to open a jewelry store. My last name is Xiao, and my given name is Rui! When the store opens, everyone should come and support it. All the goods are new from the capital, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Seeing how happy he was, everyone couldn't help but worry for him.

This idiot even announced his name in public. Maybe he didn't know who he was offending this time?

The burly leader frowned and said, "No matter what you do, you must not meddle in other people's business. We must take this young master away today. Anyone who dares to stop me will have his arm broken!"

As soon as he finished speaking, those people immediately went to catch the weak man again.

He saw the opportunity quickly and threw himself in front of Zhan Yan, hugged his horse's legs tightly and cried, "Brother, save me, I already have a wife, I can't let her be taken away to Ning Mansion!"

Zhan Yan looked at him puzzledly: "Why did they rob you? Do you owe them money?"

The frail scholar shook his head: "No, it's because my appearance is very popular with Miss Ning Er!"

Zhan Yan was stunned: "But I am obviously prettier than you. If she wants to snatch someone, she should snatch me!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

It's really strange that there are people in this world who are eager to be robbed!

Obviously, the weak scholar was also stunned.

After a moment, she jumped up happily: "Yes, you are prettier than me. If I want to snatch someone, I should snatch you!"

Zhan Yan sat on his horse and proudly waved his fan: "Yes, I am the most beautiful woman in the world. Even if you want to rob me, you have to rob me first!"

The sturdy commander's mouth twitched, and he said calmly: "Since the young master has said so, then I will go and ask my second young lady if she likes you."

He walked quickly to the carriage and asked for instructions.

A moment later, he hurried back and said, "Sir, our second young lady invited you to the carriage for tea. She said you are indeed beautiful and she wants to admire you up close!"

Zhan Yan proudly shook his folding fan, his narrow and cold eyes becoming more evil.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Your young lady has good taste!"

Just when the burly man thought he would happily rush to his young lady's carriage, he suddenly said, "Who is your young lady? Why should I go just because she admires me?"

The burly man's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately drew his sword and threatened, "Are you looking for death? You don't even give face to the Second Miss of the Ning family in Liuli City?"

His tone was bad and he looked extremely ferocious. Anyone else would have been frightened and fallen off their horse.

However, Zhan Yan was not afraid at all. He even took out a copper coin from his waist and hit the strong man directly on the knee.

"Bang!" The strong man was hit directly and immediately let out a shrill scream, then knelt on the ground in an embarrassed posture.
