Wang Xiaozu saw Chen Ping crying so sadly, and saw that he couldn't help shaking his head, and he couldn't bear to ask any more in his heart.

And looking at him, he was only less than ten years old three years ago, how could a child who was not yet ten years old know who the gang of thugs who slaughtered their entire village was.

"And then? How did you and your brother get here? ”

Wang Xiaozu comforted Chen Ping for a while, and finally let him hold back his crying, and then continued to ask softly.

"Later, we children fled into the mountains outside the village, and it was so dark that we were so scared that we didn't dare to stop, so we just kept running."

"Then those people didn't chase after them, and the next day we didn't know how far we ran, and we ran onto an official road, and we were all tired and had no strength."

"I wanted to go to a nearby town to report this to the government, but at this moment, a carriage came running in front of the official road, and then we got into the carriage in a daze..."

When Chen Ping said this, he closed his mouth, and a look of memory appeared on his little face.

"Got into that carriage? What happened after that? ”

Wang Xiaozu asked with a calm expression.

"After that, we arrived at this Donglin City, and the carriage was Boss Liu's."

Hearing Wang Xiaozu's question, Chen Ping was stunned for a while before continuing to answer.

"Boss Liu, theirs?"

"Well, at that time, Boss Liu was sending people around looking for children, and many of our gang were snatched from the beggar's nest by them."

The boys were left behind by him, and the able-bodied ones had to learn the art of stealing from them every day, and the children with disabilities were sent to beg in crowded places. I heard that the girls were all sold to large families or sent to Chunxiang Pavilion..."

Although Chen Ping is not very old, he speaks very clearly, and seems to know many things that most people at his age do not know.

Listening to his words, how could Wang Xiaozu not understand that this Boss Liu was a human trafficker.

According to Chen Ping, their original hometown was a place called Chenjia Village, which belonged to Jiangnan County, and Jiangnan County was four or five thousand miles away from Lingdong County.

From this point of view, the scale of this Boss Liu's business must be very large, otherwise how could it radiate to other counties and provinces thousands of miles away.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaozu couldn't help but be even more puzzled.

He had already seen that Boss Liu before, according to his previous investigation, the other party was just a fifth-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, although his strength was more powerful than ordinary people, but it was not enough to meet a real monk at all. With this kind of strength, how can he reach other counties and provinces?

"So what does Boss Liu do? Have you ever seen him interact with other people on a daily basis? ”

Wang Xiaozu thought for a moment, and immediately turned his eyes to look at Chen Ping and asked.

"What? He's our leader, and everybody listens to him. Contact with other people? ......”

Speaking of this, Chen Ping scratched his head with some doubts, but he didn't understand what Wang Xiaozu's last question meant.

"Is there anyone more powerful than him who has met him?"

Seeing this, Wang Xiaozu pondered for a while before he thought of something that could make the other party understand.

"Huh? It seems that there is..."

Hearing Wang Xiaozu say this, Chen Ping immediately suddenly realized, and immediately said with some uncertainty.

"Who?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaozu couldn't help frowning and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, one night, I was awakened by urine while sleeping, and then I went out of the room in a daze, and I saw a lantern in the room of Boss Liu in the front yard, and there were many more figures in it."

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I didn't dare to eavesdrop, but I vaguely heard that at that time, Boss Liu's tone seemed to be a little low, just like when we usually see him..."

Chen Ping reminisced and spoke slowly.

"Sure enough!"

Listening to the other party's words, Wang Xiaozu's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he thought that it was really as he thought, that Boss Liu had a big backer behind him.

Looking at Chen Ping's somewhat helpless appearance, how could he not see that this young man had already finished telling everything he knew. Naturally, there was no need to continue to ask about others, so he immediately reached over and stroked the other party's little head.

"Well, let's do it for now, you're hungry too, aren't you? I'll go tell the guy to get some food, and you can take care of your brother here in peace." ”

Wang Xiaozu finished speaking, got up and walked out of the room.

Chen Ping looked at his back, and an inexplicable warmth arose in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Today, the immortals saved my brother's life, and in the future, my two brothers will definitely be cattle and horses for the immortals! I will never forget this kindness..."

Silently made such an oath in his heart, Chen Ping hurriedly trotted to the side of the bed and carefully took care of his sleeping brother.

......

At this time, Wang Xiaozu had already gone downstairs, came to the inn hall, and after ordering some food with his buddy, he hugged his fist with the middle-aged shopkeeper and talked to each other.

The middle-aged shopkeeper already looked lazy, but when he saw Wang Xiaozu taking the initiative to talk, he was a little more energetic.

"Hehe, what do you have to say about the guest officer?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Wang Xiaozu thanked him, and then continued: "Shopkeeper, your inn has been open in this Donglin City for many years, right? ”

"Well, we are a chain inn, and we have our inns in large and small towns, and it has been a few years now."

The middle-aged shopkeeper did not hide anything, and immediately introduced his inn.

"Oh? Or is it a chain inn? ”

Hearing the other party's words, Wang Xiaozu groaned slightly, and suddenly remembered, it is no wonder that the name of this blessed inn is so familiar, and it seems that there are several in the capital of Lingwu Kingdom.

"Oh, I remember, it turns out that I also saw a few blessed inns when I was in the capital."

"It seems that even the Blessed Inn in the capital is as large as here..."

Wang Xiaozu smiled and said.

"Oh? It turns out that the son is from the capital? Why did you come to this eastern city? ”

Hearing Wang Xiaozu tell about the situation of the Zhongfu Inn in the capital, the middle-aged shopkeeper immediately confirmed his identity, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

"Hehe, as the shopkeeper said, go out and practice."

Wang Xiaozu naturally didn't say that he ran out of the house, but just smiled lightly and went down the donkey road.

"Oh, with Childe's strength, the best place to experience should be some treacherous places where monsters are rampant. Moon Demon Ridge in the south, the desert in the northwest and other places are good places to practice. Childe's arrival here to the east of the city is a bit unexpected. ”

As soon as the middle-aged shopkeeper said this, it seemed to be a little more tentative.

Wang Xiaozu didn't care too much, he still smiled, and said: "Hehe, I naturally want to go to those places, but the so-called experience is nothing more than seeing some of the world and seeing more of the customs." If you gain knowledge, you will achieve the purpose of training. In the market, the sophistication of people is a way of experience. ”

"Hehe, well, that's what Childe said."

When the middle-aged shopkeeper heard Wang Xiaozu's words, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"By the way, shopkeeper, you know the situation of those little beggars in this city, right?"

At this time, Wang Xiaozu suddenly changed his tone and asked seriously.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged shopkeeper couldn't help but turn pale, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"What are you going to inquire about?"
