The bustling market is bustling with people, and the yellow-skinned people are mixed with a few exotics. It was a bazaar in a small and inconspicuous town in the territory of the Tang Empire. There are a mix of fish and dragons, from notorious thieves and hooligans to righteous and righteous knights.

Chen Changye yawned deeply. I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I have been grinding flour and steaming steamed buns. Now that it is almost cool autumn, the weather is getting cooler, I thought that I should also prepare winter clothes, but my mother was seriously ill, but I didn't have the heart to prepare, I just wanted to earn enough money to buy medicine.

The people on the street were surging like a tide, Chen Changye rubbed his eyes and shouted loudly. Although he is not as weak as the crown, he is tall and strong, and his voice is like thunder. After a while, this small steamed bun shop wafted out a burst of aroma, attracting countless customers like fishing bait.

Chen Changye's immature face was full of smiles, he quickly wrapped the steamed buns in paper and handed them out, looking at the copper coins gradually piled up in the cabinet, his eyes were almost smiling, he didn't expect today's business to be so good! Thinking about it, he quickened the speed in his hand.

"Eh, where's my purse? Who stole my purse!"

Suddenly, an angry voice interrupted everyone's lively voices, and the people around looked at him, Chen Changye looked over, and felt a little annoyed in his heart, the theft that happened in front of his shop, if it attracted those people from the Yamen, his business would be delayed.

Staring at the suspicious eyes of everyone, the young woman looked around with a red face and anger, and the people around her all looked at the others with puzzled expressions. It's as if the more suspicious you are of others, the less suspicious you are. Chen Changye asked the plainly dressed woman: "Girl, take the liberty of asking, what does your money bag look like? What color?"

She was about to describe when suddenly a beggar in a straw hat ran away behind her! The woman turned around, saw the red thing in the beggar's hand, and hurriedly shouted: "He stole my money bag, catch him!"

said that it was too late, and before the woman finished speaking, Chen Changye turned around and rushed out like an arrow, and disappeared in an instant, and the continuous people on the street wiped out the traces of the two of them.

The owner of the teahouse next door saw that the situation was not right, so he came over to help manage the bun shop, and the copper coins were also put back into the cabinet one by one. The woman waited for Chen Changye to come back.

Soon, some officers and soldiers came to the door to watch, in case of another incident, and if you want to blame, you can only blame Chen Changye for the business of the steamed bun shop is too good, attracting the covetousness of those with bad intentions.

The beggar was as slippery as a loach, whenever he wanted to catch the corner of his clothes, it was always a sharp turn, and after a few clicks, he ran into the crowd and disappeared instantly, Chen Changye looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, each of them was an unfamiliar face, and he was sweating profusely.

He knew that it would be impossible to find the beggar in the vast sea of people and keep up with him, so he stopped chasing him.

"Childe might as well go to the bun shop and look for it. A male voice next to him said lightly, and Chen Changye saw that the person who spoke had disappeared into the crowd. Chen Changye nodded, and his heart was much clearer.

The beggar panicked, and if he stole the woman's purse, he must have sold the stolen money immediately. But if he wasn't hungry, how could he steal something, and if he had to spend those copper plates, he would have to buy something from a nearby food stall, and even if he caught him, it would be useless to eat it.

And the beggar Bacheng wanted to eat steamed buns, so he came to the steamed bun shop to try his luck, but unfortunately he had evil thoughts together, so he was confused. Now that he has the money, why not go and buy the steamed buns that he has been thinking about? Chen Changye naturally knew where the cheapest steamed buns on this street were, so he hurried there.

Sure enough, in front of the sparsely populated bun shop, the beggar was shaking his hand to take the bun handed over by the shop, Chen Changye only felt extremely angry, and sure enough, he grabbed the beggar's hand, and he only felt extremely thin.

"Hey......" The beggar looked at him tremblingly, his eyes were full of horror, it turned out to be an old man who was over the age of six! He was taken aback when he saw Chen Changye, and hurriedly stuffed the bun into his mouth, it seemed that even if he died, he would be a full ghost.

Chen Changye looked at the old man who stuffed the bun into his mouth, and was stunned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw this old man. Since he was a child, he listened to the chivalrous people in the teahouse tell stories about chivalry, robbing the rich and helping the poor. As a result, in this situation, with the stolen women on one side and the old man dying of starvation on the other, he didn't know how to choose.

"Don't be stunned, buns aren't worth a few dollars......" A familiar voice came from behind him, it was the mysterious man who had just reminded him! Chen Changye turned his head in surprise.

In front of him was a personable, scholarly teenager, whose age was quite different from himself, and his face was expressionless. But looking at his silk silk garment and his own shabby linen clothes, he understands the bottomless gap between the two.

After speaking, the young man took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Changye, his face was unpredictable, and he said in a cold tone: "The copper plate inside is enough to make up for the girl's loss, this beggar will take it to the yamen!"

Chen Changye took the money bag in disbelief, there were several copper plates in it, he nodded and thanked the young man: "Thank you, my name is Chen Changye, what is your name?"

The young man did not answer, his eyes moved to the beggar, and he said meaningfully: "You can save him for a time today, can you save a lifetime?"

Chen Changye understood what the young man meant as soon as he heard it, but he didn't want to hand over the old man to the officers and soldiers, and he didn't know how they would deal with such an old man, he was about to speak.

The young man looked at Chen Changye and said lightly: "Make a friend! For today's matter, I hope that the son will handle it impartially and give the girl an explanation. ”

Chen Changye seemed to have heard of this name, and Lin Jingnian continued: "My father is the city lord, I will let him take care of this old man, and he will not be embarrassed." After saying that, he turned around and left, arrogant.

"That's a good feeling, thank you! Thank you!" Chen Changye was taken aback, sweating profusely, and watched the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion leave.

When I heard his name, I was a little suspicious, it was rumored that the eldest son Lin Jingnian was amazingly resourceful and did things decently and completely, but his scheming city was extremely high, so he was not loved by his parents. Now it seems that he is not inconsiderate of the people, but is very considerate of the elderly.

So, Chen Changye comforted the old man, and then took the person he handed over to the yamen, and also returned the woman's money bag, she refused to accept the extra copper plates in the money bag, and gave Chen Changye as a reward before leaving.

And back in the store, Chen Changye looked at the thriving business, the owner of the teahouse next door who was almost too busy, smiled and went over to help, the bun shop sold out everything that could be sold in a row, and he was willing to close after there were really no extra materials in the store.

Chen Changye, who had been busy all morning, followed the boss who came to help to the teahouse next door to sit for a meeting, he often came here to listen to the stories of the Jianghu knights when he was a child, and the boss in his fifties was already an old acquaintance, but his name was not clear. Chen Changye never heard him mention it, so he asked Chen Changye to call him Uncle Liao.

"Today's business is good, there are more than 1,000 copper coins. Uncle Liao said with a smile, the two of them sat in the cool bamboo house teahouse, the scorching sun outside at noon was not hot, and a few people were sitting scattered in the hall drinking tea and chatting, and Uncle Liao poured another cup of tea as he spoke.

Chen Changye took the cup pushed over by Uncle Liao, he took out a few strings of copper coins from his arms, and said sincerely: "Uncle Liao, you helped me so much today, and this copper coin was respected by the junior at that time!"

Uncle Liao took the copper coin string, took out two pennies and returned the copper coin string to Chen Changye, he smiled calmly, and said kindly: "It's not easy for you, Xiao Chen, your mother's illness still needs money, so you don't have to give me so much." ”

As soon as he thought of his seriously ill mother, Chen Changye accepted the money, thinking in his heart that he would go home to see his mother and then grind some flour to make steamed buns, he stood up and said, "Then Uncle Liao, I'll go home first, my mother is still waiting for me!"

Uncle Liao nodded, then drank tea leisurely, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called out to Chen Changye, who was about to step out of the threshold, "Eh, Xiao Chen, wait, don't go yet!"

Chen Changye turned his head suspiciously, and Uncle Liao pretended to be mysterious and said, "I have a big business here, do you want to do it?"

"Really?" Chen Changye's eyes glowed green, like a hungry wolf, and the silver needed by his mother was almost overwhelming, he didn't expect Uncle Liao to have a big business in his hands, looking at him like that, I'm afraid there will be thousands of copper coins!

Uncle Liao saw that Chen Changye was interested, frowned and thought about it, and said a little eager to cover it up, and said, "Well, it depends on whether you are willing or not......
