Chapter 26
In the next few days, it was quite peaceful. There were not many classes in the academy. In addition, the teacher who taught calligraphy was ill and took leave for a long time. The academy did not find a substitute, so they sent each of them back home.

With nothing to do, Shen Yunchu pestered Uncle Li to take her out. Uncle Li was very busy. Although the Shen family was a family of military generals, they also did some business. The most frequent one was the bank, and there were others as well.

Uncle Li basically went to different shops every day to check the accounts and check the amount of income and expenditure. Occasionally, when his mother was free, he would go with him.

Of course, I would take Shen Yunchu out of the mansion for a stroll occasionally, and come back together after Uncle Li checked the account.

If you want to be with him, you have to hurry up. Regarding this matter, Shen Yunchu is still very active. She seldom gets up by herself. Usually, Lin Lang comes to remind her two or three times before getting up from the bed.

But early this morning, when the sky was hazy and bright, Shen Yunchu got up for an unprecedented time. He had very important things to do today.

By her side, there is a lack of someone who will serve her all the time and only obey her orders. The things she will do in the future are not absolutely safe. To do those things, she must first ensure her own safety.

When the carriage left Shen's house, the sky had just dawned, and there was still a layer of mist around it, carrying the fragrance of the morning moist dew and soil.

There were not many people on the streets of Dongshi at this time, and there were not even a few small vendors setting up stalls. Only a few came earlier, playing with the fruits and vegetables on their stalls.

When the carriage stopped outside a bank, Lin Lang helped Shen Yunchu get out of the carriage, tidied up the shawl on her body, worried and complained: "Miss, you don't have to go shopping at this time, this is the time." The dew is heavy now, the cold air has not receded, your bones are already..."

"Okay." Shen Yunchu didn't want to listen to her ramblings, so he just smiled at her: "It's okay, just shopping, how can you pick something good if you don't come earlier?"

Linlang pursed her lips helplessly, and stopped talking.

After making an appointment with Uncle Li, Shen Yunchu led Lin Lang towards the streets of Dongshi.

There were no people along the way, only a few vendors carrying things rushed to set up stalls one after another, and the two turned into an alley.

This is the largest people's market in the entire imperial city. As the name suggests, it is a place to sell people. Many children who cannot afford to be raised by poor families will be brought here to be picked by rich families in exchange for money.

Xu Shi came early, and there were not many people. Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can see all the people who can be selected at a glance. Their feet, necks or hands are tied with iron chains, like Animals are tied to the posts at the door for people to choose, but there is no intention of struggling to escape.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yunchu immediately saw the boy who was also chained in the corner, with ragged clothes, unkempt face, so dirty that he could hardly see his original appearance.

If he didn't remember his beast-like eyes, Shen Yunchu almost didn't recognize him.

In the previous life, he was the most loyal secret guard beside Bai Yichuan, and his skills were even stronger than Pang Yong who was beside Bai Yuheng. Every time he confronted, he needed Bai Yuheng to personally fight.

She remembered that she once heard Pang Yong say that this person was bought by Bai Yichuan from Renshi, how loyal is he? Even if he knew that in Bai Yichuan's plan, he was doomed to be abandoned and sacrificed, he was willing to obey completely. Complete any task for him.

Even Bai Yuheng once commented on him like this: Although he is an enemy, he is worthy of respect and admiration.

Now, she needs such a person.

Therefore, she came very early today, and she was afraid that if she was late, Bai Yichuan would take the lead.

While thinking about it, a satisfied smile flashed in her eyes, she stood at the entrance of the alley, and was about to enter the alley, but Lin Lang grabbed her arm.

"Miss!" She suppressed her voice, "What are we going to do in that kind of place? It's scary."

Shen Yunchu smiled, "Let's go, when I'm done, we'll just go."

With that said, she turned her head and walked into the alley regardless of Lin Lang's objection.

The people here are basically vicious and vicious. Although they dare not commit crimes blatantly, they always look at Shen Yunchu unconsciously with scrutiny, scrutiny, and even playful appreciation.

I probably think that in such a smoky place, few rich ladies would come. Even if they want to buy a servant or something, they will have to ask the housekeeper to do it for them.

With Shen Yunchu's attire, his identity was not simple at first glance. He was so young, yet he dared to come to this kind of place in person. In addition to this time, there was no one here, so her appearance was a bit eye-catching.

What's more, because of curiosity, he walked directly from the door to the outside, but just stood under the eaves, looking at her carefully, Shen Yunchu didn't care, and walked straight to the boy.

The young man was tied around his neck and leaned against a pillar. When he saw someone approaching, he just moved his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and then turned his eyes back.

Before she could open her mouth, the master who sold him a little bit approached courteously, "Hi girl, what do you want? The one who is strong enough to resist things, or the one who is handsome and can read with you?"

Shen Yunchu raised his hand and pointed to the distressed young man on the ground: "I want him."

The boss looked dazed for a moment, and then he came to his senses and clapped his hands in applause: "Oh! You have a good eye! Don't look at him dirty, he is so smooth when he does his work."

"But let's make an agreement. Once the deal is done, I won't return it. You should think about it clearly."

Shen Yunchu smiled, nodded, and didn't talk to him. She knew that this was not the case. This young man didn't seem to be easy to tame. He was probably bought away many times and then returned.

Coincidentally, being picked by Shen Yunchu, he was very happy in his heart, thinking that he could fool around as long as he could, and the rule he said that the business would not be returned or exchanged was not found in the market.

"How much?" Shen Yunchu asked.

The boss's fox-like eyes swept across Shen Yunchu's body, and his eyes flashed: "30 taels!"

"You grab it, you!" Lin Lang was the first to be dissatisfied. How could such a little beggar ask for 30 taels? !

But Shen Yunchu didn't mind, she felt that the young man in front of her was worth the price, and she just asked Lin Lang to pay. Although she was dissatisfied, Shen Yunchu insisted on it, and Lin Lang didn't say anything else.

It's just that the person who came didn't notice that the boy sitting on the ground had a complex look in his eyes.

After Linlang reluctantly paid the money, the boss handed over the key and the contract of sale. Shen Yunchu glanced at it, thought for a while, but accepted the young man's contract of sale, and said, "Open it directly."

The boss was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears. How could someone ask someone to open the lock after selling it? What if someone ran away?
But the other party had a request, and the old gang was hesitant to ask, but he still didn't ask. Anyway, the money has been given, so she can do whatever she wants.

So, following Shen Yunchu's instructions, he unlocked the boy.

With the sound of iron chains falling to the ground, the boy's expression was still a little numb, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock, until Shen Yunchu's voice came: "Let's go, now you are mine."

At this time, he seemed to realize something, stood up slowly, took some difficult steps, and followed behind Shen Yunchu, but kept a certain distance.

Amid all the weird eyes, the three of them finally left the alley. When they came out, the sky was already bright, and the sun penetrated the clouds, sweeping away the oppressive morning fog.

Shen Yunchu and Lin Lang walked in front, and the young man followed behind with confused eyes, just not far or close.
