Currently in Chang'an City, most of the beggars and thieves wandering around are local orphans whose parents died early.

When I was young, nearby villagers felt sorry for me and would occasionally help me.

But when they grow up, they can only rely on begging or stealing. When they become adults, they can work and earn money to support themselves.

Only Miaomiao and her mother, whom Niu Shisan just mentioned, suddenly came to Chang'an from other places half a year ago to look for their relatives.

Who would have thought that before she found her relative, Miaomiao's mother was bullied by a wicked person.

Although the criminal was caught later, she went crazy and ended up in a temple, not to mention finding her relatives.

Fortunately, the beggars and thieves in this area were either teenagers or very old men, so the mother and daughter were relatively safe, and Su Qinchao did not interfere.

I only buy some things and look around occasionally, and scare off the hooligans around me.

I didn't expect that after I hadn't been there for a while, an unknown person came to the temple.

"Thank you, General!" Niu Shisan was instantly overjoyed after hearing this.

"As for you, go to jail with Boss Li and eat prison food for two days!" Su Qinchao grabbed him by the back of the collar, intending to hand him to the bailiff who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"General, I'm an adult now, don't mention it like that anymore!" Niu Shisan kicked his feet in the air.

"Really? There are adult beggars in Chang'an?" Usually, orphaned beggars would find a job when they reach the age of 12, and gradually start to live like human beings.

Only Niu Shisan, for some unknown reason, had not yet grown to six feet tall even though he had reached adulthood last year.

In the north where every man is seven or eight feet tall, he looked like a child and naturally could not find a job.

Therefore, he could only live by begging and stealing.

...

Maybe because the New Year is coming soon, the weather has started to improve recently and the wind is no longer so strong and bone-chilling.

Therefore, in the evening, Su Qinchao rode to the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city where Niu Shisan and his companions had stayed before.

From a distance, one could hear several men making a loud noise in the temple, mixed with the vague sounds of women and children crying in fear.

"Take it off quickly, you crazy bitch!"

"If you don't hurry up, I'll strip your daughter!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Su Qinchao slowly approached with a restrained breath, and saw a woman with disheveled hair, dishevelled clothes and a terrified expression in the wide-open temple.

He was surrounded by three men in ragged clothes with aggressive looks on their faces.

In the corner on the other side, several skinny half-grown children were huddled in the corner, tightly protecting a three-year-old girl in the middle.

"Who!" The tall man who was about to tear the woman's clothes off himself was suddenly hit in the knee by something. He grimaced in pain and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Who is it?" The other two men also looked around in panic.

"Zhu Laosan, didn't you say that your temple is very safe?" The man kneeling on the ground grinned and looked at the thin man next to him with resentment.

"Brother Qi, he was indeed fine before. Hey! Was it you guys who did this?" Zhu Laosan helped the man up with a smile and said a few nice words to him.

Then he opened his eyes wide and walked towards the children leaning against the wall with a menacing look.

"We have been here the whole time, without moving a muscle!" one of the older children bravely replied.

"Uh-huh!" the other children echoed in panic.

"It's me!" Su Qinchao kicked the door open. He was wearing the official uniform of the General of the Jinwu Guards. The golden soft armor made him look like a god descending, and his aura was extremely shocking.
