After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Looking at the buns in his hand, and then at Ah Niu who looked expectant, Fu Yutang's expression froze for a moment, and then he suddenly turned hostile and said, "What?! Ten cents for a bun?! What a profiteer!"

Wang Dagui echoed, "That's right! It's better not to patronize such unscrupulous merchants!"

As he spoke, he quickly took two buns from the steamer, one in each hand, and said confidently: "This is your punishment for being a profiteer! Humph, sir, let's go!"

After they finished speaking, the two of them left.

"No, my two guests..."

Hardly had he uttered the words when he saw the two people who were walking slowly pause. The next second, they disappeared with a "swish", leaving behind only a cloud of dust.

Ah Niu was stunned watching all this. He admitted that he was a little greedy, and he quoted a price of ten coins for a bun that originally cost three coins, hoping that the nobles would reward him with more money. He could understand that the two nobles were angry, but...

Why did he take away his two buns? Ah Niu scratched his head and stood there, puzzled.

Fu Yutang stopped at the corner of the street, feeling extremely embarrassed. She was so embarrassed that she was slapped in the face for pretending to be cool. It was like social death. Fortunately, she ran fast and did not become a laughing stock.

Wang Dagui beside him also looked embarrassed and explained to Fu Yutang: "Well, I left in a hurry and forgot to bring the silver."

After a pause, he handed the buns in his hand over. He was worried that Fu Yutang would not have enough to eat, so he took the opportunity to take two more and said flatteringly, "You must be starving, sir. Here."

Fu Yutang raised the buns in his hand and said, "I have some here too. By the way, remember Ah Niu's stall address and give him the money for the buns when we get back home."

Wang Dagui naturally agreed.

After giving the instructions, Fu Yutang picked up the bun and opened her mouth to take a bite. She glanced at the alley next to her and saw a boy about four years old with disheveled hair and tattered clothes standing barefoot in the backlight at the entrance of the alley. He stared at the bun in her hand and swallowed unconsciously.

Maybe because he is too thin, his eyes look particularly big and bright.

His eyes fell on his skinny little body. Fu Yutang paused, put down the bun in his hand, and raised his hand to wave him over.

"Here, this is for you."

Wang Dagui followed her gaze and when his eyes met the boy, his expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. He looked at Fu Yutang thoughtfully without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the boy did not come forward after hearing this, but retreated into the shadows. In addition to vigilance, there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing this, Fu Yutang thought that the child was just shy and didn't think much about it. He simply bent down and handed the bun to him, looking at him encouragingly, "Here."

The boy looked at Baozi, then at Fu Yutang, and finally his gaze fell on Wang Dagui standing beside him and blinked slowly.

Fu Yutang didn't urge him and just kept handing him the buns.

At this moment, Wang Dagui suddenly said, "Take it. My master is not a bad person."

After hearing this, the boy moved his steps, walked slowly and cautiously to Fu Yutang, then quickly took the bun, gave Wang Dagui a grateful smile, and retreated back into the shadows.

Fu Yutang turned his head to look at Wang Dagui, touched his face, and thought to himself, "It doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the little beggar feel more friendly when he sees me dressed as a beggar? Why doesn't he get close to me, but Wang Dagui instead? Could it be that Wang Dagui looks more like a beggar than me?"

As his thoughts wandered, he saw Wang Dagui walk up to the boy who was chewing a bun, squatted down, looked him up and down, sighed almost inaudibly, and then reminded him: "My master is Master Fu from the Ministry of Justice. If you don't have enough food or encounter any difficulties in the future, go to the Fu Mansion. Remember?"

The boy bit the bun, his cheeks puffed up, and glanced at Fu Yutang quickly, and replied vaguely, "I've got it."

"Good boy." Wang Dagui stuffed the two buns in his hand into his hands, stroked his head, stood up and returned to Fu Yutang, pulled the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile, "This child is really pitiful. The adults should not blame me for taking the initiative, right?"

"Of course not." Fu Yutang shook his head, glanced at the child who was eating voraciously, pursed his lips and said, "You did the right thing."
