After shouting a few more times on the street, Bai Zhizhi saw the familiar little beggar.

Knowing that the little beggar came here at this time for something, he exchanged glances with his father-in-law, and the two of them walked out of the street slowly together.

When they reached a relatively secluded place, the little beggar quickly told about his discovery.

"Something big happened in Mr. Wang's family the night before yesterday. It seemed to be related to Mr. Wang's newly adopted son. Judging from the noises in their family, there must have been a big fight. I heard that the adopted son was beaten by Mrs. Wang, and then the masters in the mansion seemed to have quarreled, and Mrs. Wang took Young Master Wang back to her parents' home."

Although Bai Zhizhi knew that Mrs. Wang had returned to her parents' home, she didn't know why. But after listening to the little beggar's narration, she had a general idea in her mind.

I'm afraid that Mr. Wang had a big fight with Mrs. Wang over his adopted son, and Mrs. Wang was upset, so she returned to her parents' home.

The little beggar didn't stop talking and continued to tell another story in a vivid way. "Yesterday, a couple came to the palace. They didn't look rich, so they must be from a nearby village. I vaguely heard them say that they had lost their child and wanted to go to the palace to look for him."

The little beggar paused, tried to recall the situation at that time, and then demonstrated it briefly.

Bai Zhizhi gestured for him to continue.

The little beggar continued, "The commotion was quite fierce, but the gatekeeper didn't let them into the mansion. A few people from the mansion came out and beat them up, then drove them away."

Hearing this, Bai Zhizhi perked up and quickly asked the little beggar, "Do you still remember what the couple looked like?"

The little beggar tilted his head and tried to recall, then briefly described the appearance of the two people.

"The man was quite strong, probably someone who worked in the fields often. He had a beard and looked a bit fierce from a distance. As for the woman, she was dressed like an ordinary farmer's wife, but she seemed to have been hit in the face by those people yesterday. I saw her face was red."

Bai Zhizhi nodded thoughtfully. The appearance was not very detailed. If one were to look for someone based solely on appearance, it would be difficult to find him.

So she continued to ask, "Do you know where they ended up?"

The little beggar thought for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I don't know where they went in the end, I only know that after leaving the palace, they went west."

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he got some key information. Bai Zhizhi took out a few copper coins from her bosom and handed them to him.

"Okay, go back and keep an eye on the situation. If you have any new information, just tell me."

After receiving the reward, the little beggar immediately bowed happily, looked around, and when he found that there was no one around, he ran away happily.

Bai Zhizhi and Old Man Zhou began to look for someone in the direction pointed by the little beggar.

The two men were beaten up and must have been injured. They couldn't have walked too far, so they should be nearby. I just don't know where exactly.

The two of them walked and looked around, and would look around when they came across corners where people could hide.

Finally, their hard work paid off. When they were about to give up, they found the person in a dilapidated temple on West Street.

It was similar to what the little beggar described. Half of the woman's face was swollen, but she no longer cared about herself and just hugged the man as if she had lost her mind.

When Bai Zhizhi got closer, she found that the man had an unnatural blush on his face, which made him look somewhat humble on his dark face.

"Your man seems to be seriously ill. I'm afraid you need to go to the clinic right away."

The woman mechanically glanced in Bai Zhizhi's direction, her eyes red, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

"We have no money."

The woman's throat was very dry and her voice was very hoarse.

They lost their child and were extremely anxious. They finally got some news and rushed over, but they were beaten indiscriminately. The man fell ill immediately.
