After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 1: The Beggar and the Prince Meet for the First Time

Ye Wuwei was sitting with a group of beggars under the city wall, basking in the sun. Although it was not the coldest winter yet, the temperature was already quite low, and basking in the sun was a luxury.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves were heard, and a group of people riding horses rushed straight into the city gate.

Ye Wuwei looked at the group of people. The leader was a young man wearing armor. Even from such a distance, he could feel his powerful aura that kept strangers away.

Ye Wuwei made a judgment about this person in his heart: This person is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

After the group passed by, an old beggar said, "Something big is going to happen in Anping County."

"How to say?"

The beggars asked questions one after another.

"Anping County has always been forgotten by the imperial court, but now it has welcomed a high-ranking official from the court. This happened just over ten years ago. If this isn't a sign of something big happening, what is it?"

Anping County is located in the remote northeastern part of Qi Dynasty, with deep mountains and dense forests, making transportation to the outside world inconvenient.

Another older beggar said, "Oh!" "I still remember what happened more than ten years ago. It was truly earth-shattering and heartbreaking..."

As the older beggar narrated the story, Ye Wuwei understood the whole thing.

Seventeen years ago, a group of bandits suddenly came to Anping County and occupied a deep mountain in Anping County.

At the beginning, the people of Anping County were in a panic, fearing that these bandits would come down the mountain to rob and kill people. However, these bandits rarely came down the mountain, and only occasionally sent some people to the county town to buy daily necessities.

As time went by, the people of Anping County relaxed their vigilance, but at this moment, the imperial court suddenly sent important figures to encircle and suppress this group of bandits, saying that they were traitors.

Then, this group of bandits was wiped out, and many officials, including those in Anping County, were dismissed.

Ye Wuyi was picking lice from his hair while listening to the story indifferently. At that moment, he could never have imagined that these things would be related to him in the future and he couldn't avoid it.

……

Ye Wuwei was reborn into this world seven days ago.

In his previous life, he was a member of the special forces. He had received intensive professional training, was determined and skilled, and had other skills such as spying, disguise, tracking, sniping, and assassination.

Especially in sniping and assassination, no one in the special forces he was in in his previous life could surpass him.

During an operation, Ye Wuwei knew there was a time bomb but did not evacuate in order to complete the mission. When he woke up, he became a beggar who looked like a fifteen-year-old.

However, according to Ye Wuwei's experience, the actual age of this body should be around seventeen years old, but it has not fully grown due to years of malnutrition.

The original body fell into the water and drowned.

Ye Wuwei has no memory of this beggar. He usually follows a group of old beggars to beg, and everyone calls him "dog cub".

The place he is in now is called Anping County, and the dynasty is the Qi Dynasty, which he has never heard of.

……

"Everyone, go check it out! The government has posted a notice saying they're investigating a human trafficking case. Anyone who can provide information will receive a reward."

Such a big event rarely happened in Anping County. The beggars stood up to watch the excitement, and Ye Wuwei was among them.

At the entrance of the county government office, which was many steps away, there was a throne chair and a desk. Sitting on the throne chair was the armored general who had just entered the city today.

Ye Wuwei looked at the armored general, and his aura showed that he had been on the battlefield for a long time.

According to the information Ye Wuwei had gathered, no major incidents had occurred in Anping County recently. So what was the meaning of the imperial court sending a general to a remote place like Anyuan County to investigate a human trafficking case?

Qi Wushuang was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt a probing gaze and opened his eyes abruptly.

Qi Wushuang's gaze met someone's.

The other person was about fifteen years old, dressed in rags, with stains on his face so his appearance was not very clear. However, his eyes, which looked directly at him, were exceptionally bright and lively, without the slightest hint of avoidance or fear.

His body was also very straight.

Are all beggars nowadays so bold?

Qi Wushuang looked at the other beggars in the crowd again, they were still timid and sloppy.

Qi Wushuang gave a few instructions to Qi Cheng who was standing behind him, and Qi Cheng walked down the stairs and towards the crowd.

Qi Cheng walked straight up to Ye Wuwei and said, "The prince invites you."

Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Cheng, calm and reserved.

Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang again, but saw that Qi Wushuang was looking straight at him.

Ye Wuwei followed Qi Cheng and walked in front of Qi Wushuang.

"Your Majesty".

As they got closer, Qi Wushuang appeared more clearly in front of Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang had a stern expression, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and the murderous aura emanating from his body was obvious.

Qi Wushuang was also looking at Ye Wuwei.

The person in front of him was thin, with pale and fleshless cheeks, eyes that seemed larger and brighter, and dark and thin hands covered with scars.

But he is very courageous.

When ordinary people faced Qi Wushuang, they would be oppressed by the powerful aura he exuded, and even Qi Cheng and Qi Wu, who had been following him, were no exception. However, the person in front of them did not show any fear at such a close distance.

This is quite interesting!

Qi Wushuang became interested. "I have been ordered by the Emperor to come to Anping County to investigate a human trafficking case. Do you have any clues?"

Ye Wuwei was even more certain from Qi Wushuang's words that it was not normal for Qi Wushuang to come to Anping County.

A prince who led troops in battle was ordered by the emperor to come to a remote place like Anping County to investigate a human trafficking case. No matter how he looked at it, he would be like shooting sparrows with pearls and cooking chickens in an ox cauldron.

Either being feared or being exiled.

"I wonder what kind of news the prince wants to know?"

"Do you know who in Anping County was trafficked?"

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment and replied:

"Ye Lingling, the maidservant of Butcher Zhang, the son of Chen's silk shop... and the three girls from Piaoxianyuan."

In fact, Ye Wuwei didn’t speak in this tone in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was always dishonest in his words and deeds, and his master often criticized him for this.

It was just that he had just arrived in a dynasty he had never heard of before, and it was also his first time meeting Qi Wushuang. Before he knew the other party's background, Ye Wuwei didn't dare to speak carelessly, so he became much more serious.

The reason why Ye Wuwei knew that these people were trafficked here was that he heard it from different beggars seven days after he came to this world.

It has become Ye Wuwei's instinct to quietly inquire about information, especially after coming to a strange world, the more information he knows, the better he can survive.

Don’t be fooled by the beggars’ slovenly and timid appearance; they know more information than the average person.

In addition to the above, Ye Wuwei also knew that many miners in a large private coal mine in Heifeng Mountain were trafficked, but he decided not to say it for the time being.

First find out what kind of person Qi Wushuang is and then decide whether to tell him or not.

Qi Wushuang was stunned for a moment.

Although the emperor deliberately made things difficult for Qi Wushuang by sending him to Anping County to investigate the human trafficking case, since he had received the emperor's order, Qi Wushuang also asked his subordinates to do some investigation.

Although the number of people the other party mentioned was not many, they were all on the list he had, so it seemed that the other party was not talking nonsense.
