The servants who came in from Prince Qin's Mansion were all strictly checked, and there were files and records, so it was basically impossible for spies to come in.

So, as long as you find the files, there may be clues.

And the files are usually placed in Tiance Mansion.

Chapter 15: Face Traffickers!

Suzaku Avenue.

On the busy street, a little pink boy who was no more than three feet tall looked at his surroundings curiously.

It was Li Xiao.

Without Li Junxian around, it would be a breeze to get in and out of Qin Palace without being discovered by his skills.

Walking on the street, Li Xiao has a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling to everything around him.

"Spicy meat buns! Freshly baked meat buns!"

"Guest officer, come have a bowl of tea!"

"Candied haws! A string of two pennies!"

Beside, noisy voices can be heard endlessly.

Li Xiao subconsciously touched his pocket, only to discover a terrifying thing.

He has no money.

No, it cannot be said that he did not bring it, but that he has no money at all.

He is only five years old, and he is not yet old enough to distribute monthly money, so the housekeeper usually takes care of it.

And before he went out this time, before going to the Tiance Mansion to investigate the case, he needed to get out the core parts of the Divine Arm Crossbow.

This requires purchasing materials and finding craftsmen, which will cost a lot of money.

Where is the money going here?

Li Xiao looked at the continuous stream of people, but wondered if he might meet a thief or something.

At this moment, Li Xiao keenly felt someone approaching behind him.

But when he felt that this person had no killing intent, Li Xiao felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a rough hand patted his shoulder.

Li Xiao turned around, and in front of him was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and sunken eyes. He didn't look like a good person.

"Little baby, do you want to eat candy?"

The middle-aged man showed a bright smile, and raised his other hand, with a piece of candy placed on it.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao froze in place, with ten thousand muddy horses galloping past in his heart.

Such a bloody plot actually happened to him.

"Are you hungry?"

Seeing that Li Xiao was stunned, the middle-aged man suddenly had a look of joy in his eyes, and then said: "Uncle still has a lot of candy at home, will Uncle take you to eat?"

"Uncle, have you brought any money? Lend me some."

Li Xiao smiled sweetly, revealing two shiny little canine teeth, with a pure and lovely face.

"Ah? Silver?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, then smiled: "Of course."

With that said, the middle-aged man took out a copper coin from his doubts.

"That's it?"

Li Xiao showed a disgusted look.

"Is it too little?"

The middle-aged man showed an incredulous look, then rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle didn't bring much money out, and he's all at home. How about this, you go back with Uncle to get it."

"How much money does your family have?" Li Xiao continued to ask.

"Eh... Uncle made a lot of money in business a few days ago, a full eight taels of silver!" The middle-aged man whispered.

"So poor? Uncle, you committed the crime... Bah... Do you have any accomplices in business?"

Li Xiao looked a little disappointed.

He estimated that these few taels of silver were not enough to make the core parts of the god arm crossbow.

"Yes, yes. Uncle has six brothers. They should have a lot of money. Uncle will take you to find them?"

The middle-aged man had a spring-like smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, uncle, you are so kind!"

A smile bloomed on Li Xiao's face.

Seeing Li Xiao's cooperation, the middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his mouth.

In his eyes, Li Xiao is no longer a child, but a white flower.

Afterwards, Li Xiao followed the middle-aged man and left.

The two headed south all the way, directly out of the south gate of Chang'an City.

Finally came to a remote mountain road.

Along the way, Li Xiao was full of interest and did not panic at all.

This surprised the middle-aged man.

"Child, aren't you afraid that uncle is a bad guy?"

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man saw that there was no one around, so he became unscrupulous.

"Uncle took me to borrow money, he is definitely a good man." Li Xiao looked innocent.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man almost laughed out of tears.

He has seen silly children, but he has never seen such a cute silly one.

The middle-aged man took out a black cloth from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiao: "Put it on and cover your eyes."

"Ok."

Li Xiao took the black cloth obediently and put it on his head.

This scene stunned the middle-aged man, with a look of surprise on his face.

He threw out another rope and said, "Bind your left foot."

Li Xiao did the same again, tied a rope around his left foot, and handed the other end of the rope to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, here it is!"

At this time, the man's eyes widened, and his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

"You, why don't you ask why?"

"what?"

"Why did you blindfold your eyes and tie your left foot!"

"Isn't it normal to prevent me from remembering the way to your uncle's house and from sneaking away?"

Li Xiao took it for granted.

Middle-aged man: "???"

His eyes widened, and he stared at Li Xiao with an unbelievable expression, unable to speak for a long time.

This was the first time he had seen such a strange situation.

"Could it be... this is an idiot?"

The middle-aged man was full of thoughts and was a little disappointed.

Because such a child cannot be sold for a good price, but it is better than nothing.

"Let's go!"

The middle-aged man pulled Li Xiao forward.

After a cup of tea, the two walked along the mountain road into a forest and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

……

In a dilapidated thatched cottage.

Li Xiao sat obediently on the stool, surrounded by six big men.

"Lin Youde, is this the silly boy you mentioned?"

A big man looked at Li Xiao for a moment, then asked the middle-aged man.

"This child has some brain problems, but he looks fair and clean, and he should be able to sell for a good price."

Lin Youde, who led Li Xiao up the mountain, looked thoughtful.

"This doesn't look like an idiot..." A big man said in surprise when he saw Li Xiao's big bright eyes.

After speaking, he gestured to Li Xiao: "Hey, little baby, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.

This sentence stopped the big man. He showed a strange expression, and continued: "Aren't you afraid that we will sell you as a slave? Do you know who I am?"

"Aren't you just a human trafficker? You also want to eat. If you don't sell it, I will starve to death. It's normal!" Li Xiao said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

The big man opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time, his eyes were full of incredible expressions.

"Look, let me say that this kid has a brain problem!"

Lin Youde recovered first, after all, he was mentally prepared.

"Uncle, you guys are too unprofessional." Li Xiao shook his head suddenly and said, "There are only a few of you, and you didn't have a knife near you. If the government came to track you down, wouldn't you be belching your asses?"

"hiss……"

The big man took a deep breath, and the unconvinced energy suddenly came up, and he shouted loudly: "Who said that I am only this kind of person?"

"Is there anyone else? Then why don't you call over and let me have a look."

A gleam of joy flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.

"Hey? I said you kid, are you short-hearted? Do you know that death is imminent?"

After the big man finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a hideous scar, and said viciously to Li Xiao, "Did you see this scar? I was a murderer back then without blinking an eye!"

Seeing Li Xiao's appearance like this, he felt extremely awkward, and he couldn't help but hear Li Xiao's frightened crying.

Li Xiao looked at the scar, and said lightly: "Isn't this just a tooth mark? A dog bite?"

Chapter 16: Your whole family are brats!

Tooth marks?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard these two words.

Lin Youde pointed at the big man's scar and said in surprise: "Old Quan, didn't you say that this scar was left by fighting with hundreds of officers and soldiers back then? Why was it bitten by a dog?"

"Nonsense!" The big man roared angrily when he was exposed.

"Haha...that's how it is!"

"Old Quan, on weekdays you always brag about how majestic you were in the battle with the officers and soldiers. See, it turns out that you were made up to embarrass you."

The rest of the big guys laughed and rolled forward and backward.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

The big man named Lao Quan stared at Li Xiao angrily.

But at this time, Li Xiao suddenly heard the voice of the system.
