The young man ran towards Yun Shang with something in his arms, and behind him a man held up a stick and chased after him.The young man ran very fast, but he looked too thin and his steps became more and more sloppy.

"Miss, do you want to stop him? He must have stolen something."

Looking at this posture, he must be chasing the thief.

Before Yun Shang could answer, when the boy was about to run in front of them, he stepped on a stone and fell to the ground with a thud.

As he fell, the two white bread rolls rolled out from his arms.

"I told you to run, let's see where you go? You little bastard comes here to steal buns every day, so I won't break one of your legs." The man from behind chased after him, raised the stick in his hand and hit the boy.

It was obviously not the first time that the boy was beaten. When the man raised the stick, he curled up and covered his head with his arms.

Just when the stick was about to fall on the young boy, Yun Shang stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."

When he saw Yun Shang, the man immediately changed his attitude, "Miss, I don't know. He is a habitual criminal. He comes here to steal things every day. Several shops have hired thieves and lost a lot of things."

After he finished speaking, the boy who had been silent and waiting to be beaten immediately shouted.

"I didn't steal those things. I only took your buns. I took seven of them in five days. I remembered them all and gave them to you when I earned some money."

"A lot of things were lost in the jewelry store next door to me. They were all lost after you came here, and you still said it wasn't you?"

"It's not me. If I took it, how could I still take your buns? I'll just buy them."

Jinxiu was kind-hearted and agreed with the young man's words after listening, "You're right. If he had money, he could buy food by himself and wouldn't take the risk to get your buns."

The hawker seemed to be persuaded, and seeing Yun Shang there again, he glared at the young man fiercely and prepared to leave.

A few buns are really not worth it.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yun Shang stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."

"Does this young lady have any other instructions?"

"Jinxiu, please pay some money for him."

Seeing that the young man was pitiful, Jinxiu immediately took the coins and paid the money. The man who was chasing him took the coins and left with a smile.As soon as he left, the boy lying on the ground jumped up, limped over and picked up the two buns on the ground.

The bun rolled around on the ground and became covered with mud. It looked dirty, but the boy didn't mind. He blew it carefully twice and placed it in his arms like a treasure.

After putting the buns away, he turned around and gave a big salute to Yun Shang.

"Thank you for your help, Miss. Please leave me your address. If Tang Chen earns any money in the future, he will pay it back to you."

Tang Chen looked thin and ragged, with a dirty face, but his etiquette was very standard. No matter how he moved, he didn't look like a beggar, but rather like a noble man.

"No need, I don't have much money. Madam and young lady give alms every year. Your accent sounds like you are from the south. Is there a disaster at home?"

After the floods in Jiangnan, many people fled all the way to the capital. Some time ago, there were many refugees outside the city.

After Jin Xiu finished speaking, Tang Chen's expression darkened obviously, as if he had thought of something sad.

Jinxiu is a soft-hearted person. Seeing his expression, she hurriedly comforted him, "You came early, right? I advise you to go back and have a look. The second prince and the third prince went to Jiangnan on behalf of the court. They will help you rebuild the house later."

Tang Chen gave a bitter smile, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, but it quickly flashed away and he looked at Yun Shang, "Miss, can you please lend me some more silver coins? My sister was infected a few days ago. I will wait until she recovers." , we will go out to find work, and return the money we earn to you."

During the conversation between Jinxiu and Tang Chen, Yun Shang had been secretly sizing up Tang Chen.

Tang Chen was by no means an ordinary citizen, and it was probably not that simple to fall to this level.Especially when Jinxiu mentioned Chu Zhi and Chu Yin, there was definitely something wrong with the flash of ridicule in his eyes.

Chu Zhi and Chu Yin had just returned from Jiangnan and were praised by officials and people.

Yun Shang originally thought that Chu Zhi and Chu Yin were good friends, but judging from the young man's behavior, that was probably not the case.

In his previous life, Chu Ming also showed diligence and love for the people. What was the result?

It was just a pretense for that position, so she naturally didn't trust the Chu family.

The Chu family are all used to acting.

"Where is your sister now? I happen to be a doctor and can diagnose and treat her."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed. "Miss, you are a good person. I can't harm you. To be honest, my sister has an inexplicable high fever and a rash. I'm afraid it will be transmitted to you."

He also found someone to help him a few days ago, but when the person followed him, he turned around and left for fear of being infected.

"It's okay, I'll be more careful."

Yun Shang wants to see what secrets these siblings hide.

Tang Chen had no other choice. It was rare for anyone to be willing to help, so he had some thoughts.Even if Yun Shang turns around and leaves when she gets there, it's still better than waiting.

Jinxiu and Xiaojin were a little anxious. Tang Chen seemed to have an unknown origin. What if there was danger?

You Qi became even more worried when he heard that the rash might be contagious, but Yun Shang was already following Tang Chen and had no choice but to keep up.

"Jinxiu, please walk slower in a moment. If something goes wrong, run to the Hou Mansion to find someone." Xiao Jin whispered in Jinxiu's ear. It is always better to be more careful.

Yun Shang, who has a sharp ear and eyesight as Xiao Xiwu, was very pleased to hear Xiao Jin's explanation to Jin Xiu.

Jinxiu has been with her all year round and has rarely seen her, so she is relatively simple.Xiao Jin has been out a lot in the past two years, has heard more, seen more, and thinks more thoughtfully.

She hopes that Xiaojin and Jinxiu will both be able to stand alone and have the ability to protect themselves in the future.

Of course, Yun Shang was not careless today. She had observed her surroundings and found that no one was following her secretly.Tang Chen showed no effort at all and appeared very sincere, not like a liar.

Moreover, even if she encounters bad guys, she is sure to escape unscathed.

If she has doubts in her mind, she must find out.

In order to find Wen Shaoli, they came to the North City Gate and reached the city gate not far away.

"Miss, my sister and I are currently living in a place where refugees are resettled outside the city." When they arrived at the city gate, Tang Chen told Yun Shang that he needed to leave the city first.

Many people escaped from the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the largest number came to the capital. The imperial court set up temporary residences outside various city gates, which were relatively simple but could provide shelter from the rain.Placing people together makes management easier.

Now that the floods in Jiangnan have been resolved and reconstruction is underway, many people who escaped have returned after hearing the news, so it is very empty here.

There were very few people in the temporary shed. After walking for a while, we arrived at the place Tang Chen mentioned.

"Sister, I'm back. I made some money today and bought you two buns."
