After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

Qin Xin brought his men to the slum area they had visited last time.

She was wearing men's casual clothes and had her hair tied up. Although she was not dressed up, her beauty could not be concealed. She was accompanied by thugs, and it was obvious that she came from a noble family.

However, just when some people were curious about why a young lady from a wealthy family dressed up as men and came to this poor place, they saw her walking towards a few beggars on the street.

"It's you again. Why are you still begging? Didn't His Majesty order that your elders in your family be provided with a livelihood?"

Qin Xin squatted in front of the little beggar and asked in a gentle voice.

Although these little beggars are thin, they have bright black eyes and look smart.

"There are no adults in my family..." The older beggar said heavily, holding the broken bowl.

"My grandma is sick and can't work." The younger ones are also forced to beg.

Yes, if he could have food to eat, why would he come out to beg at such a young age?

Qin Xin reached out to the guards behind him, took out the food he had prepared in advance, and secretly stuffed it into their hands.

"Thank you sister!"

"You are so nice, beautiful sister."

"Sister, is your hand injured?"

The little beggar pointed at Qin Xin's tightly wrapped hands with curiosity.

Qin Xin nodded.

"Yeah, so my sister needs your help."

The guards behind Qin Xin were very puzzled. After the empress left the palace, she should have come directly to this beggars' den instead of running somewhere else. Why did she ask beggars for help?

However, they were ordered to protect Qin Xin's safety, so naturally they did not dare to say anything.

After eating Qin Xin's food, the little beggars became very well-behaved and enthusiastic.

When they heard that she needed their help, they were very enthusiastic.

"Beautiful sister, what do you want us to do?"

"Have you heard about the strange incident of fox demons eating children recently?" Qin Xin asked straight to the point.

In martial arts dramas, the Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world and the most well-informed.

"As for me, my sister is missing from home, and I want to rescue her. Do you know any other beggars in the city? Do you know where this fox demon came from?"

Qin Xin made up a story as soon as he opened his mouth.

Of course the little beggars had no doubts and looked at Qin Xin with great sympathy.

"But, but the children that the fox demon took away were all eaten... Your sister should have..."

The older beggar was very calm. He said, "How can there be monsters in this world? They must be bad guys pretending to be monsters!"

Qin Xin raised her swollen thumb in approval. This child is aware of the situation.

"Yes, I don't believe it was done by a monster. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone really seen what that monster looks like? So, in the next two days, you can help me find out whose child is missing, how old the child is, where the child was lost, and also find out where there are suspicious people moving around."

As he spoke, Qin Xin took out a few bags of copper coins that he had exchanged in advance and gave a few to each of them.

"As for you, if you meet reliable beggars, tell them that as long as you get the information, I will give each of you one tael of silver at the tea stall over there before curfew tonight."

I’m afraid if I give all my money to the little beggars, not only will they not be able to keep it, but it will also be in danger.

Qin Xin explained, "If I get any news, I'll buy you some food and send it back home, but don't tell anyone about it. Otherwise—"

Before Qin Xin could finish his words, the older beggar nodded to show that he understood.

"In our area, those young people who can't keep their money have to hand it over to Brother Qiang... Sister, wait a minute, I'll go find Brother Qiang and ask him for help, but..."

He looked at the purse in Qin Xin's hand, without any intention of coveting it, and hinted to her.

Qin Xin immediately understood. No wonder the child could survive in this place without anyone at home. It turned out that there really was a "beggar leader". The child probably became the beggar leader's younger brother.

She handed the purse to the child.

"Here you go. Be careful, don't let anyone snatch it away."

Qin Xin did it covertly, and the child was even smarter. He took the money, covered it with a broken bowl, and then turned it upside down against his chest.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll go ask for you right away."

Qin Xin was relieved. She made an appointment with the little beggar who stayed behind that she would go to the tea shed before dark to wait for their news.

Then she took people to stroll around the city.

She seemed to be strolling around, but after a while, she talked about this and that, asked questions, and found out a lot.

The missing children were all girls, aged between 8 and 12, just about halfway through life...

Moreover, they were all girls from poor families, powerless and without guards or servants at home, so the children could be taken away from the house.

A family whose daughter is missing will have a tuft of fox hair and bloodstains at the door.

Therefore, the rumors will become more and more intense.

Qin Xin returned to the tea stall early. There was only a little beggar squatting in front of the stall. When he saw her return, he immediately ran up to her.

"Sister, Brother Kuan went with Brother Qiang and the others to get information. Let me tell you here."

"You look so happy, but what did you find out?"

Qin Xin saw that most of the beggars were barefoot, and even those who wore shoes were torn, so he bought a batch of cloth shoes from a stall when he came back.

She was just asking for information, and the vendors were very active in providing her with information when they saw that she bought a lot.

The shoes Qin Xin bought were not very good, for the same old reason: she was afraid they would be robbed.

She gave the shoes to the little beggar, who was very surprised.

He quickly took a step back, as if he had just remembered that he was not wearing shoes and his feet were dirty, and he was afraid of offending Qin Xin.

Qin Xin smiled casually and gently.

"This is for you, as a thank you for helping me get information about my sister."

The little beggar was then sure that it was for him, and he happily took it and put it on.

Soon, a group of elderly beggars came in groups.

The guards subconsciously put their hands on the scabbard, blocking most of Qin Xin's body.

Qin Xin calmly picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Although they are said to be older, in fact most of them are teenagers, all of them are pale and thin.

It makes me feel bad just looking at that person.

"Miss, we got the news you wanted."

A beggar who looked sloppy but had a kind look in his eyes came forward with a big bowl and shook the empty bowl.

"Do you really want to pay for words?"

Qin Xin nodded but did not move. Sui Shou, another eunuch expert beside Gu Fei, put the money bag full of copper coins into the bowl. The beggar leader named Qiang Ge almost couldn't hold the bowl steadily.

He held it in both hands and smiled brightly.

"After the matter is accomplished, there will be a reward."

Qin Xin was not stingy, she looked at Brother Qiang.

Brother Qiang changed his attitude and said respectfully:

"Miss, I have been wandering around the city for more than three hours and asked the brothers about it. There really was a brother who heard the sound of a little girl crying while he was sleeping in a pile of rags in the corner of the alley at night.

He also said he saw a group of shadowy figures... They were definitely people. They grabbed the little girl in a sack and carried her away. As for where they were taken... That's something we need to ask."

"Okay, then please go to the South District tonight and ask around."

Sui Shou saw a drawing under Qin Xin's hand. He thought it was a sketch she had drawn for fun.

The East and West districts of the city were crossed out, leaving the South and North districts.

And having just heard the beggar say that he heard crying sounds in the south of the city, she immediately crossed out the north district as well.

After asking around for a whole day, I found out that the most children were missing from the West District. The East District was where the powerful and wealthy lived and no child was missing there. There were troops stationed in the North District, so if it was man-made, no one would have the courage to run to the military area.

So Qin Xin set his sights on the southern area.

A place where fireworks and gambling are popular.

If nothing unexpected happens, the matter of the "fox demon doing evil" will soon be revealed.

Brother Qiang took a look at the picture drawn by Qin Xin and was amazed at its simplicity and clarity. He nodded quickly.

"I'll go right away! Miss, please wait one more night. If I find your sister, I promise to help you rescue her!"

"Do not."

Qin Xin was afraid that they might do something bad with good intentions, so he shook his head and persuaded them to stop.

"Tell me as soon as you get any news. I have more helpers and it's safer. If you scare the bad guys away, I won't give you a penny."

A Qiang was shocked by Qin Xin, who had a warm smile but spoke in a tough tone, and nodded quickly.

"well."

After everyone left, Qin Xin took these guards with him again.

"Are you not sleepy?"

The guards were stunned for a moment before hesitantly shaking their heads.

Why is your Majesty asking this?

But Qin Xin smiled brightly and said with full energy:

"It's just right. Before curfew, come with me and be a night owl and take a stroll in the East District."

The Ningguo Mansion is in the east of the city.
