After coming out of the dilapidated courtyard, no one said anything. Li Chengqian walked and looked around. There was a mixture of fish and dragons here, with people from all walks of life.

And the environment is extremely bad.

There are either beggars or homeless people on the roadside. The people here are also dressed in rags, as if this is not Chang'an City.

"Sir, please do well, I haven't eaten for three days!"

"Uncle, please do me a favor and give me a penny!"

Li Chengqian looked at the people begging on the roadside, ignored them, and walked straight ahead.

"Hey, gentlemen, come to my place and play for three cents a time."

"Don't go, even a penny will do."

Li Chengqian frowned, looking at a middle-aged woman wearing colorful clothes, a flower on her hair, colorful makeup, and holding a round fan in her hand.

"What does she do?"

Sima Qiu whispered: "I take the job privately..."

"What's the meaning?"

"That's right, that's right..."

Eighteen said: "They are unwanted women in brothels. After they came out, they were forced by life and could only do their old job."

"They secretly solicited customers without reporting it to the government, which is illegal."

Li Chengqian: "..."

"Stop, stop for me and pay me back. If you don't pay me back today, I will kill you!"

Bang bang bang!

A thin middle-aged man was chased by a group of people, pushed to the ground, and kicked and punched.

After beating for a long time, the thugs spat twice, cursed and walked away, and warned the man to remember that if he couldn't collect the money after three days, he would be killed and fed to wild dogs.

The thin middle-aged man, after lying on the ground for a long time, slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and limped away towards the distance.

That back view was so miserable.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore. Is this really the emperor's feet?

Why are there so many dirty things in the world? Is this the prosperous age that my father pursues?

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go back."

It was getting late, and everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger. Li Chengqian was still standing on the roadside, looking at everything here.

"Go back to the palace!"

He was going to write a memorial about what he saw and heard today and present it to his father.

This is not a prosperous age, there is hell in Chang'an City.

As soon as I walked out of the street, a group of people gathered in front of me, and there seemed to be a quarrel.

Li Chengqian frowned again, then walked up quickly.

It turned out that two rich men had a quarrel over the purchase of a young girl.

Kneeling on the roadside was a pretty girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing sackcloth and mourning. Next to her stood a sign that read: Sell your body to bury your father.

The girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but none of the people watching in front were sympathetic. They almost got into a fight to fight for the girl.

"You only paid fifty cents, and I paid sixty cents." An old man in a brocade robe said angrily.

"I will pay you a hundred coins to take her as my concubine."

"I'll give you three hundred coins, so don't argue with me. I'm short of a personal maid."

"I will pay you five hundred cents."

"I have a lot of money, and I did my best to bury her father lavishly for her."

"What, you and I are having trouble with each other today?"

"Boy, go call someone, I will fight with you today."

"Who is afraid of whom? Xiao Liu, go call someone and kill this pork seller today."

"Sir, let's go back to the palace first. Don't worry about such noisy matters." Sima Qiu was very hungry. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was compassionate again.

Yan Shiba also said: "Master, maybe this is another trap set by others."

Li Chengqian glared at the father and son and said, "Look at those two old immortals, none of them are good people. If this girl is bought by them, she will jump into the pit of fire."

"Go and get some money, and I will pay for her to bury her father."

Sima Qiu: "..."

The guard hurriedly went to borrow money, but now everyone had no money.

"I will pay for your father's burial."

Li Chengqian slowly walked towards the girl. When the girl heard Li Chengqian's magnetic voice, she immediately raised her head and looked at Li Chengqian.

The person who came was a young man with a handsome demeanor and did not look like a bad person.

"Thank you, Young Master. This little girl has thanked you for your late father. You are my savior, woo woo woo..."

"Damn it, that guy who jumped out of the cesspit, doesn't he know first come first served?"

Shiba stepped forward and slapped the old man who was cursing, knocking him to the ground.

"Go away, my young master never does things on a first-come, first-served basis."

"you……"

Shiba drew his sword in an instant, and the people around him were so frightened that they ran away. This group of people couldn't afford to offend him.

The people watching the excitement in the surrounding area also immediately dispersed.

"Girl, get up!"

Li Chengqian stepped forward and helped the girl up. The girl quickly bowed and saluted, and then she burst into tears and told her hardships.

Li Chengqian was also saddened by the girl's experience.

After a long time, the guard borrowed 500 Wen, half filled it into a cloth bag, weighing eight or nine kilograms, and placed it next to the woman.

"The young lady thanks the young master. The young lady is willing to work for the young master and repay the favor."

"You go and bury your father first!"

"Then use the remaining money to start some small business, or go to your hometown!"

"Dare you ask the young master's name?"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Finally, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face, like a great knight who did good deeds without leaving his name, he raised his head and chest, and walked towards the distance.

It's just that one of his legs is a little lame, and even if he raises his head and chest, he still leans.

The girl looked at Li Chengqian for a long time, and thought to herself, the young master is such a good man, it would be great if I could marry such a good man!

When Li Chengqian walked away, an old man walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm rich. That young man looks quite shrewd, but I didn't expect him to be a stick."

"Dad, how can you say that to others?"

The old man frowned and cursed: "You little beast, you taught your father a lesson. How much money did it cost me to raise you since you were a child? Now you are asked to make some money, and you still speak for others?"

"That young master is kind-hearted, and he has the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"Shit bodhisattva heart."

"He just fell in love with your beauty, but he is a noble person and doesn't want to take you away blatantly. Just wait, he will definitely let someone come and take you away before long."

"So, we have to run away quickly and go to the north of the city to do another business."

"Dad, I don't want to live like this anymore."

Snap!

The old man slapped his daughter on the face and cursed: "You really think people will like you, stop daydreaming."

The girl cried after being slapped. He was adopted by this old man. This old man liked gambling and drinking the most. Once he ran out of money, or lost in gambling and ran out of wine, he would go home and beat her.

Then he took her out to swindle money.

Several times, someone discovered the clues and was almost beaten to death.

Li Shimin stood in the corner not far away, watched the scene quietly, and finally slowly closed his eyes.

After a long time, he asked: "Ke'er, what do you think your elder brother did?"

"It's quite unlucky that he has encountered all kinds of deceptions."

"Then you often go out and encounter this kind of thing?" Li Shimin asked again.

"This... I won't lie to them, even if they burn high incense."

Li Shimin looked at the hateful old man and said calmly: "Go and deal with them..."

Li Ke bowed and accepted the order and left.

Li Shimin wanted to see how Li Ke would deal with these people.

The prince is a fool, and what he witnessed with his own eyes was that he was deceived three times in just half a day. Can such a prince inherit the country of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin's heart felt so cold at this moment.
