The young man frowned, looked at the hawker's shrewd face, and finally took out a dime of broken silver, threw it into the tray on his chest, and said, "Let's have a bag!"

The peddler put away the silver, quickly packed a bag of chestnuts, handed it to the young man, and said in a low voice: "What about the fugitive! It is said that he is a serious offender, and he was supposed to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen, but he did not expect to be escaped by him, and he also injured several officials. Oh, there's a wanted notice over there!"

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but look in the direction pointed by the peddler, and saw a black crowd of people there, and he didn't want to squeeze into it at all, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know what the name of this felon?

The peddler was looking around, looking for potential customers, and when he heard this, he glanced at him, but replied, "What else can you do, it's not just murder and arson, it's going to kill your head anyway." But the name is quite easy to remember, called Jiang Tianxiao. ”

"Jiang Tianxiao?" The young man's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and a bag of chestnuts in his hand also fell to the ground, and the bones rolled everywhere.

The peddler was startled by his voice, and looked him up and down suspiciously, with a strange look in his eyes.

The young man also realized his gaffe, quickly stabilized his mind, pretended to be nothing, and said, "I didn't expect it to be him." However, as far as I know, this Jiang Tianxiao is on an errand in the prefect's mansion, and he is quite valued by the prefect, how could he commit the crime of killing his head. Among them, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. ”

This young man, named Jiang Chuqing, is Jiang Tianxiao's sister-in-law.

A few months ago, the eldest brother Jiang Tianxiao mentioned in a letter that because of his outstanding performance and the appreciation of the prefect, he was not only promoted to deputy commander, but also promised him a marriage, and the marriage will be completed on a certain day.

Because of the death of both parents when they were young, they have always been two brothers and sisters who depend on each other. Since Jiang Chuqing went to Daqi Mountain, he has always been very concerned about this eldest brother. Hearing the news that he was going to get married, he was naturally very happy. This time, I won the opportunity to deliver a letter for the teacher, and deliberately detoured to Liangzhou City, planning to come to see this woman who was praised by the eldest brother, and surprise him by the way.

Unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was the news that my eldest brother was in prison. This made her shocked and difficult to accept.

"You ask me?" the peddler couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, "Who am I going to ask?" After speaking, he stopped paying attention to him, took his sugar-fried chestnuts, and squeezed them straight into the crowd.

At this time, on the bridge not far away, several graceful women walked in, all of them in light leno skirts, charming and unparalleled. A girl in a white dress in the center is particularly prominent. Unlike other women, her temperament is plain and elegant, and the pipa she holds in her arms adds a dusty temperament to her.

Jiang Chuqing, who was standing in place in a daze, was almost squeezed by the sudden crowd and fell down. Luckily, it was blocked by a nearby tree.

She glanced at the shoes that had been trampled beyond recognition, and looked at the scholars in front of her with some disgust. They didn't seem to realize their mistake at all, and just looked at the beauty in the distance and had a heated argument.

"Miss Qinyun is so beautiful today!"

"I think it's better to know the painting girl!"

"You're not right, Xiao Sheng thinks it's still the girl who is the most intoxicating!"

......

Jiang Chuqing looked at these readers, and the disdain in her heart became stronger and stronger. Coupled with the fact that she was distraught now, she felt the urge to draw her sword and teach them a lesson.

"Vixen!

Suddenly, a discordant voice came to my ears. Jiang Chuqing turned her head in astonishment, only to see a woman selling white sugar cakes next to her, looking at the graceful back of the person who was gradually walking away, and said to the woman selling rouge next to her, with a look of disgust: "At first glance, she is not a serious woman!"

When the woman selling rouge heard this, she smiled reservedly, and said softly to Jiang Chuqing, who came over: "This son, do you want to buy some rouge?"

Jiang Chuqing was about to talk, but saw that the woman's eyes were a little strange. Following her gaze, she saw a familiar hairpin falling from the ground not far away. Her heart was sudden, she hurriedly walked over and picked it up, hid it in her arms, turned her head and smiled gratefully at the woman who was selling rouge.

The woman seemed to have discovered her at this point, and when she saw her, she hurriedly lifted the white sugar cake in the dustpan and said, "Come on a piece of this white sugar cake that is as sweet as honey, and you will be able to keep your teeth sweet!"

"Poof—"

Before Jiang Chuqing could answer, the little beggar on the side couldn't help laughing. may have realized that he had caused trouble, so he hurriedly smiled at the woman who was glaring at him, and nodded in agreement: "Aunt Zhu's white sugar cake is indeed delicious." ”

The woman's face palened slightly, and she waved at the little beggar, signaling not to block her from doing business, and then vigorously sold: "I still have brown sugar cakes and brown sugar cakes here." There are red beans and dates added to it, and it is ...... fragrant."

"Give me two!"

At this time, a cold voice sounded, and then a slender man appeared in front of Aunt Zhu's stall. It's just that he wears a mask and can't see it.

Aunt Zhu suddenly smiled, picked up the lotus leaf on the side, wrapped two large pieces of white sugar cake and handed it over, and said familiarly: "Master Su, you came really early today!" took the silver handed by the man, and smiled like a flower on her face.

The masked man snorted, didn't say anything, turned and left.

The woman selling rouge gouache next to her said with some envy: "It's still easy for you to do business, this Su Gongzi will come to buy white sugar cakes every two days." I don't know if he eats it himself or buys it for someone else. I don't know what she thought, and two blushes appeared on her face.

Aunt Zhu checked the silver in her hand, the weight was not light, and she suddenly smiled even more happily: "It doesn't matter who he buys it for, just buy it anyway." After speaking, he picked up a small piece of white sugar cake next to him and handed it to the little beggar on the side, "Take it!" and pointed to the steamed bun in his hand, and said, "Don't steal the Gao family's steamed bun, let people catch it, it will really break your legs." ”

When the little beggar heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly, covered the white sugar cake with his clothes, bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Aunt Zhu!"

Aunt Zhu waved her hand arrogantly and said, "Go back quickly, those little ones are still waiting for you!"

The little beggar bowed again, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Chuqing on the side watched all this silently, originally she didn't like Aunt Zhu. This kind of woman who talks about right and wrong behind her back is the type of person she hates the most. But then her actions surprised her a little.

She really didn't expect that this woman in the market in her eyes would give a white sugar cake to a little beggar. And listening to their conversations, it's not once or twice.

In fact, not only Liangzhou City, since coming down the mountain, everything she has seen is different from the place where she used to live.

She looked at the city wall not far away, and the officials who were still patrolling back and forth in the streets, and finally turned around and left.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out what happened to the eldest brother first. Fortunately, she is in Liangzhou City, and she doesn't know anyone. She remembered that her master once said that there was a senior sister who was from Liangzhou City.
