In the last life, before the Qi family had time to participate in major events, the family was destroyed and turned into dust, leaving no trace. In this life, history has changed, the name of Qi's family still exists, and it will surely attract more attention in the future. Therefore, Qi Surong must accumulate strength beforehand to protect Qi's family as well as possible.

She rubbed her eyebrows, folded a few pieces of paper, and temporarily hid them in the mezzanine of the floor. After completing the list, she burned it.

Two days later, Qi Su easily pretended to come to the new house and asked Yuan Xi to go out together. After two days of recuperation, his injuries have improved a lot, at least there is no abnormality in his normal walking.

"Where are we going?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Inquire about news." Qi Surong replied simply.

Yuan Xi looked at her back, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

How is she going to inquire about the news?

Qi Surong kept walking through the market and went straight to a remote alley that looked a little dirty.

This is a famous slum in the capital, where a large number of inferior people from the three religions and nine classes gather. Yuan Xi did not expect that Miss Qi's family would come to such a place. Judging from her appearance, it was no accident that she came here.

At this moment, Qi Surong suddenly stopped, took out a purse from his sleeve and weighed it, attracting dozens of ragged beggars around him.

"Those who want to make money come here, and I have something for you to do. Once done, the money will be yours." Qi Surong said loudly.

When all the beggars heard the words, they gathered together, only one of them lay motionless on the straw mat, like falling asleep, but Qi Surong paid special attention to him.

"What does the young master want to ask us to do?" A boy about fifteen or sixteen came over and asked cautiously.

"I want you to help me collect all kinds of information about court ministers, famous nobles, including criminals punished by the emperor." Qi Surong said slowly, "Their names, identities, residences, preferences, relatives and friends, etc., are all in the collection."

The beggars looked at each other, but no one answered.

Qi Surong said again: "Don't worry, I won't let you work your life for me. It doesn't matter how much news you can find out, I will pay you regularly. If there is important news, there will be other rewards."

The eyes of the beggars were shining, and they all expressed their willingness to participate.

"I only have one request." Qi Surong said solemnly, "What I told you to do must be kept secret and not publicized."

"Don't worry about this, we don't know anything else. The best thing is to make jokes. The words are mixed, and most people can't tell the difference." A beggar laughed.

"Okay." Qi Surong counted the number of people, there are eleven people in total, "Tell me your names, and I will record the information you inquired one by one in the future, and pay the corresponding remuneration and rewards according to the amount of information."

A beggar wondered: "Many of us have no names and are illiterate. We just call out casually."

Qi Surong thought for a while and guessed that they probably didn't want to reveal their names so as not to provoke trouble.

"Well then, I'll name you by numbers. Start with six and go all the way to sixteen."

"Why start from six?" Someone asked curiously.

"One to five, I will leave it to the people who contribute the most in the future. They will not only get rich rewards, but also become the little leaders of others."

The beggars' eyes lit up and their interest increased.

But after a while, they all fell silent again, and their eyes moved to the man lying on the straw mat.

Qi Surong followed their line of sight and smiled, "I've heard the name of a chivalrous beggar. As long as he is willing, this 'one' must be his."

As soon as these words came out, the man on the straw mat opened his eyes slightly, glanced here, and then turned over and fell asleep.

Seeing this, the beggars all showed joy on their faces. One of them said, "It turns out that the young master has also heard the name of the boss. He has no objection. We can listen to the son."

Qi Surong nodded and smiled: "Since there is no doubt, then remember your names."

She tapped one and reported a number until they remembered it.

Qi Surong didn't know that the name she randomly chose became the prototype of the most mysterious number group in the future.

Afterwards, Qi Surong handed the silver to the boy named "Six" and said, "This is a meeting gift, give it to your boss, and he will distribute it. I will come back in two days to see what news you can find out."

"Thank you, young master!" The beggars cheered and ran towards the man.

After leaving the slum, Yuan Xicai asked, "Will it make sense to leave this to them?"

"You may not have heard of the name of chivalrous beggars." Qi Surong explained, "Although there are not as many beggars in the capital as in other towns, they are not many. They divide factions and govern them by districts, forming a unique set of underground rules. He is one of the best. The reason why he is called a chivalrous beggar is not only because of his martial arts and mysterious origin, but also because he has set three rules that are not allowed, one is not allowed to bully the elderly, the weak, women and children; the other is not allowed to harm Human life; three must not betray faith."

Yuan Xi nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, there is another reason why I chose him to cooperate."

"what reason?"

Qi Surong spit out two words with a smile: "Secret."

Yuan Xi was choked for a moment, and then he had doubts again, where did Qi Surong know the name of the chivalrous beggar? They are completely two classes of people, and there is no chance to contact them at all, and with her character, she doesn't bother to contact them. But now it seems that Qi Surong not only has an unknown composure and scheming, but also hides many secrets.

Did she pretend to be like she used to be?

But a day or two of contact completely subverted Yuan Xi's perception of this eldest Miss Qi family.

The last reason Qi Surong didn't say can't be told to anyone, that chivalrous beggar will become the unique underground king in the capital in ten years.

But at this time, he was still just an inconspicuous little person.
