After Li Chengqian separated from Chang Le, he was in a bad mood. After arriving at Zhuque Main Street, he got out of the car and started wandering with Sima Qiu and others.
A group of people shuttled through Zhuque Street and began his overt and covert investigation.
Looking around, there are many shops with a dazzling array of goods from all over the world. People on the street are jostling shoulder to shoulder, and there is a lot of traffic and people.
Lively and prosperous!
Li Chengqian had never seen the prosperity of Chang'an City with his own eyes so seriously. Every time he left the palace, he would ride a carriage from the palace to somewhere, and then ride the carriage back to the palace.
Today is a good time to take a stroll and experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Sima Qiu has already arranged the itinerary for the prince. He will first visit the most prosperous Zhuque Street, and then go to Kangpingping to see the feasting and feasting of the world.
It would be best to have a good night in heaven and earth, and tomorrow take the prince to the Nancheng District of Chang'an City, where there are slums and where he suffered.
After seeing the slums in the south of the city, we went to the refugee area outside the city.
But what Sima Qiu didn't know was that all the refugees outside the city had been packed up by Li Ke and taken to post stations across the country to fight for the construction of the postal service for the rest of their lives.
While everyone was wandering around, a little boy in tattered clothes ran past Li Chengqian in a panic and almost knocked him down.
The little boy also stumbled and ran several steps before he stood still.
"Little guy, why are you running around?"
Li Chengqian's guards caught the little boy and immediately taught him how to behave.
"Please, please spare me, I didn't mean to rush into the young master..."
"Let me go. If they catch me, I'll be dead."
The little boy looked at the crowd in the distance with frightened eyes.
In the distance, a group of people suddenly rushed over, holding sticks, and fiercely surrounded Li Chengqian and others.
Li Chengqian frowned. In broad daylight, someone dared to commit murder in front of him?
Li Chengqian's two guards immediately stood in front of Li Chengqian and scolded: "What do you want to do? Get away..."
Shiba frowned and held his hand on the handle of the knife. If these people dared to kill the prince, he would kill a few people and run away. It would be good if the prince died.
He's done enough undercover.
So damn useless.
At this time, a fat man slowly walked up. Seeing Li Chengqian protecting the boy behind him, he asked arrogantly: "Looking at your clothes, you should be nobles, but nobles can't help thieves, right?"
"He stole my money, I'm going to chop off his hand."
Li Chengqian turned to look at the little boy who turned blue with fright, and asked, "Did you really steal their money?"
"Don't worry, if they dare to wrongly accuse you, I will make the decision for you."
The little boy whispered nervously: "Please big brother, save my life. I stole their money, but the money has already been bought for naan bread for my grandma to eat."
Li Chengqian glanced at Sima Qiu, who smiled and said, "Sir, the opportunity has come."
Li Chengqian nodded, looked at the fat man, and asked: "How much money did he steal from you? I... I went out for him."
"Always money."
Li Chengqian did things without thinking, but he still had some concepts about money. After all, Li Shimin trained him as an emperor.
A regular amount of money can last an ordinary person for a year, and the regular amount of money is a thousand coins, and this little guy can't even take it. He is lying, or these people are lying and want to blackmail him.
"Little guy, did you really steal all his money?"
"The money is always so heavy, how did you steal it?"
The little boy nervously grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and cried: "Brother, please save me..."
"Yes... I stole their money, but the money was used to buy medicine for my grandma to treat her illness."
"I went there five times and stole a total of money."
Li Chengqian: "..."
"Give them consistent money!"
The guards didn't bring that much money with them at all. They were there to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. How could they protect the Crown Prince with so much money?
The guard had no choice but to go to a nearby store he knew to borrow money. Fortunately, he was able to borrow a lot of money.
The vicious people left, and the little boy knelt on the ground and thanked Li Chengqian and others.
Li Chengqian helped the little boy up and said, "You can't steal anything anymore. Stealing is against the law. The government will arrest you and sentence you to jail."
"This is your first offense, so I will spare you for now."
"Brother, I had no choice but to steal that person's money. From today on, I will never steal again. I swear..."
Li Chengqian put another five hundred coins that everyone had collected into a bag and gave it to the little boy.
But the little boy was determined not to accept it all. He only took out fifty coins, hugged Li Chengqian and cried: "Brother, you are such a good person. Good people are rewarded."
Li Chengqian looked at the little boy disappearing into the crowd and felt that he had done a great thing today.
"Let's continue!" Li Chengqian smiled with satisfaction.
But after he took a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The jade pendant hanging on his waist was missing.
After recalling it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me.
His jade pendant was taken away when that damn little boy hugged him.
Li Chengqian's face turned dark instantly. This damn brat has never changed his ways. I helped him, but he repaid me with kindness.
When Sima Qiu saw that the prince was not leaving, his expression turned ugly, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Catch that little boy for me. Damn it. He took away my jade pendant. That jade pendant was personally rewarded by my father when I was crowned prince. I can't lose that jade pendant." biquge.biz
Sima Qiu: "..."
eighteen:"……"
In fact, Shiba had already figured out that the little boy should be with that group of people, but it was none of his business, so he didn't need to care about it.
Only when he takes action at the critical moment can he become Li Chengqian's confidant.
"Hurry up and chase me. What are you doing?"
The two guards felt such hatred in their hearts. The two of them were protecting the prince personally. If they went after him, who would protect the prince?
I wish I could have a clone now.
"The prince's safety is with me. You can go after the kid."
The two left with fists clasped and chased after him.
Li Chengqian was angry. He finally came out once, but he didn't expect that the first time he did something good, he was tricked.
Not only did he give money twice, but he also took away the jade pendant his father had given him.
If this matter spreads out, the prince's reputation will be completely tarnished.
"Mr. Sima, Shiba, let's follow. I want to ask that kid why his heart is so weak?"
Sima Qiu also saw at this time that the child and that group of people were probably together. They joined forces and defrauded the prince of his money.
He also regretted in his heart that he didn't seize such a good opportunity to perform, mainly because the little boy pretended to be too similar, damn...
Li Chengqian and others also followed.
They ran all the way to Nancheng District, the slums of Chang'an City.
But when Li Chengqian entered the courtyard, the two guards were seriously injured and tied to pillars. The dilapidated courtyard was already empty.
The two guards had bruises on their noses and faces, and one of them had his arm broken.
"What's going on?" Li Chengqian asked with a livid face.
The guard said angrily: "Prince, the little boy was with that group of people. When the two of us entered here, we were plotted and trapped by the fishing net. The big men who originally chased the little boy are here."
"There are seven or eight children with them, both male and female, who are specially designed to trick people."
"Your Highness, we have been tricked."
Li Chengqian's chest heaved: "I've been cheated, and you say it's useless!"
I'm so angry today. It's the first time I've experienced the public sentiment, and I've been cheated.
If this spread to the father, wouldn't it make him even more incompetent?
"This matter...let's stop here."
"I will make them pay the price."
Li Chengqian took one look at the dilapidated house, turned around and walked towards the door.
If he was cheated, he was cheated. He didn't want to cause trouble to the whole Tang Dynasty.
Everyone rushed in to follow, but the guard with a broken arm was pale in pain and his whole body was shaking, but he still had to follow.
