Chapter 22: Troubled Times

The next day, Jiang Chen was full of energy, and it was another good day, there was some leisure in the yamen recently, and the county magistrate had not come back yet.

The patrol head also has other important things to do, and he has no time to take care of other patrols, but fortunately, the county seat is only a small place, and nothing usually happens.

Jiang Chen walked out of the house, changed into a clean black clothes, and looked energetic, today is the day of fishing, he plans to continue to practice boxing.

"Xiao Cheng's level Tiger Fist, with the strength of my Tongli Realm, can definitely exert terrifying power, I have to find a chance to test it." Jiang Chen thought about it, he planned to go to the martial arts hall after breakfast.

Jiang Chen came to a breakfast shop and just sat down, Xiao Er greeted him respectfully and warmly.

"Isn't this Jiang Daxun, why do you have time to eat here today?" Xiao Er recognized Jiang Chen immediately when he saw him, and hurriedly greeted him.

As a patrolman, similar to the chengguan on the earth, he is naturally well-known by major shops and vendors.

"I happened to be passing by, and I was a little hungry." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "If you have anything good to eat today, give me a copy!" ”

After the realm breakthrough, Jiang Chen's meal volume has also become a lot larger, and now he has more than double the amount of food compared to before.

"The patrol lord is polite, there are no good things in the small shop, only fresh soy milk, steamed buns and meat buns that have just come out of the cage." Xiao Er said with a smile on his face.

He also knew that Jiang Chen had an easy-going personality and was easy to get along with, and he would not easily embarrass others.

Jiang Chen said; "Then first add five bowls of soy milk, ten steamed buns, and ten steamed buns."

"Okay, Patrol Adult, wait a minute." Xiao Er quickly went to work.

He didn't care if Jiang Chen could finish eating, anyway, it wasn't him who paid for it.

"Hello Ginger." Another lady selling steamed buns passed by and said hello to Jiang Chen.

"Aunt Li is dressed up so beautifully today, where are you going?" Jiang Chen nodded and said with a smile.

Aunt Li was said by Jiang Chen, and immediately smiled: "Jiang Patrol is really joking, I am in a hurry to be a matchmaker today, when is Lord Jiang free, I have a lot of girls here who have been asking me when Lord Jiang is free." ”

"Aunt Li laughed, the kid is alone, how dare he mistake the beauty with two sleeves." Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

This Aunt Li is a well-known matchmaker in the county, and she has always been thinking about Jiang Chen's big red envelope.

"I don't care about this, Lord Jiang is so handsome, and he is the patrol of the Yamen, naturally there are many girls secretly excited."

"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, there are just a few girls who have wanted to see Master Jiang for a long time." Aunt Li was full of smiles.

"Aunt Li. Next time, Jiang will still have official business! Jiang Chen smiled apologetically.

But Aunt Li would not be fooled by Jiang Chen, she came to Jiang Chen.

"Lord Jiang always says next time, when is the next time, today, Lord Jiang must give me an accurate time, otherwise I will not be able to explain to those girls from the family." Aunt Li had a sad face.

Jiang Chen also knew that he couldn't avoid it today, so he simply agreed, and the time was set for three days later, and he happened to rest at that time.

Aunt Li got a satisfactory answer, paid the money after speaking, took the bun and left.

Jiang Chen said with some emotion: "This time flies so fast, it's been a year in the blink of an eye."

It just so happened that Xiao Er smiled and sent soy milk, steamed buns and buns, and put a big table full of them.

Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly heard the sound of begging behind him.

"The shopkeeper is doing well, my child hasn't eaten for three days, and he's really hungry, please reward a few buns to eat."

A tall, but extremely thin man with two girls with yellow hair and thin yellow muscles.

They stood next to the steamed bun shop, looking at the enthusiastic steamed buns and swallowing their saliva, and the two girls were biting their fingers and greedy.

"Why are you here again, this store is a small business, and I can't give you charity at all, so go and give alms elsewhere, don't get in the way of our business!" Xiao Er hurriedly said anxiously.

"Sorry to interrupt." Seeing this, the emaciated man clenched his fists and regained his perseverance, a little depressed, and wanted to leave with the two girls.

"Wait." At this time, Jiang Chen turned around and called, "If you don't mind, come here to eat,"

The emaciated man was full of joy when he heard this, with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly waved towards Jiang Chen.

"Thank you, sir!"

"You're welcome, it's just a meal." Jiang Chen smiled, and then beckoned the three of them to sit down.

"Thank you, big brother." The two girls spoke in unison.

The family was indeed hungry, and after thanking them, they immediately devoured them.

"Little Er, three more bowls of white porridge and twenty steamed buns." Jiang Chen shouted.

"Okay, my lord, wait a minute."

Jiang Chen also ate it, almost one bite at a time.

He looked at the two girls and said, "You have been hungry for a long time, eat less steamed buns, drink more soy milk first, and wait for the porridge to come up, drink the porridge first, and then eat the steamed buns, so as not to be unable to digest and hurt your body." ”

"Thank you so much!" The thin man hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, big brother!" The two girls also thanked them.

Soon Xiao Er brought another stack of buns and white porridge up, and Jiang Chen also beckoned the three of them to drink porridge.

"Is there a lot of people coming to beg lately?" Jiang Chen said.

Xiao Er heard the words and replied: "Lord Jiang doesn't know, during this time, there are too many refugees who have come to give alms, and the shopkeeper has already given alms to many people, but there is really nothing that can be done, the small shop is also a small business, and if it goes on like this, it can't be maintained at all!" ”

"There's such a thing."

"This big brother, where are you from, and have you encountered any difficulties at home?" Jiang Chen said with a solemn face.

This emaciated man, after eating a bowl of white porridge with a grunt, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly stood up and replied: "Hui Engong, the little one came from the north, and it was only because the village was ransacked by thieves that he fled here in order to make a living." ”

"I see." Jiang Chen listened thoughtfully.

After a while, he said: "It's not easy for you to go away to make a living, it's better to settle down in Shengping County, so let's go to the yamen to register your identity first, and then someone will arrange a job for you, maybe it's hard, but there is no problem with life." ”

There are special chores in the yamen for those who are poor or in distress.

If you are diligent, you can stick to it if you grit your teeth, Jiang Chen knows that it is better to give people fish than to give them fish.

"Thank you Engong, the little one has written it down, and I'll go over immediately" The thin man hurriedly replied with a happy face, saying that he was about to kneel down for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen hurriedly helped the man up, nodded, and got up to leave.

The world is already unfair, demons are in turmoil, and thieves are rampant.

Don't look at Shengping County, it is peaceful, but there is a storm in secret, among which the Black Tiger Gang is the most powerful, bullying the people on weekdays, and forcibly collecting all kinds of protection fees, and the key yamen has no way to take the Black Tiger Gang.

The yamen is not as reliable as he imagined, and everything must speak with strength.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart sank, and after he hurried to the yamen to report, he saw that there was nothing important, so he left in a hurry.

He walked through the bustling streets, and soon came to the Black Iron Martial Arts Hall.
