Nowadays, everyone is willing to get together when something exciting happens, but they avoid paying money. As soon as the beggar picked up his hat, many people dispersed. When the beggar held out his hat to ask for money, everyone's excitement immediately subsided. After all, the people of Donghai City are far from rich. They can't even afford food and clothing, so how could they be willing to give money to others?
The beggar went around and only got a dozen copper coins.
"Horse trainer, how much do you want for this horse?" a young man who looked quite wealthy asked, "Name a price and I'll buy it."
The beggar still shook his head expressionlessly, holding up his hat, and walked around the few remaining people. Finally, he came in front of Han Mo and took out his hat.
His face was dark with a sallow complexion, his body was very thin and he looked as if he was malnourished. His forehead was slightly raised and his appearance was very ordinary. He was the kind of person who would not attract anyone's attention even if he was thrown into a crowd.
Han Mo asked with a smile, "You are a respectable man with many talents. Don't you think it's embarrassing to perform on the street and ask for money?"
The beggar raised his head, glanced at Han Mo, and said in a cold voice, "I work hard and the money I get is not shameful!"
"Okay!" Han Mo laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting." He was about to touch the silver when he suddenly remembered that he had just given all his money to Shopkeeper Han. So he said to Han Qing, "Give him all the silver you brought!"
Han Qing was stunned, but quickly took out a tael of silver and said, "Master, this is all." He put it into the beggar's hat.
The beggar didn't say anything else. He just looked at the Yin-Yang stick in Han Mo's hand, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and turned away.
"Master, why did you give him so much silver?" Han Qing asked in a low voice.
Han Mo held up his chin and said, "He is a man of integrity. He has fallen into this state. I am afraid he is in trouble. Perhaps one or two taels of silver can help him." But he was thinking in his heart whether to take the beggar back to the mansion. After all, it is rare to find a horse trainer with such amazing skills. It would be a very good idea to take him back to teach him horse riding.
He was just about to go up and invite the beggar to sit in the restaurant when he heard someone behind him call out, "Here comes Huang Bantou!"
The onlookers quickly moved away, and the crowd, which was originally packed tightly, was now reduced to only a few sparse people.
A sneer appeared on Han Mo's lips. This Huang Bantou was the head of the guard squad of Donghai Prefecture. He could be considered a close confidant of Xiao Muzan, the governor of Donghai County. He was brought from Yanjing by Xiao Muzan when he first took office.
Han Mo tugged at Han Qing's clothes, and the two walked behind a big tree. Looking into the distance, they saw Huang Bantou, dressed in a black robe, leading three or four yamen runners holding clubs and walking leisurely towards them.
A kind-hearted person in the crowd whispered to the beggar, "Horse trainer, please ride away quickly, or you won't be able to leave soon."
