The waiter saw that the silver coins were stained with blood and were dirty. He curled his lips in disdain and said, "Poor people are poor people. Even their money has a sour smell."

Xiao Cheng used to come to this restaurant often to eat. Because of the magic medicine, the waiters here were always respectful every time they saw him. Now he just changed his face and treated him like this. Naturally, he was very angry and stretched out his hand to take the money back. He said angrily: "If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Unexpectedly, the waiter was quick to hide the money behind his back and said...

"You're kidding. Paying for a meal is only natural. You ate at our restaurant, so you should pay. Why should I give it back to you?"

"Don't you think it's dirty?"

"It's dirty, but I still have to pay for it." The waiter saw that this poor guy dared to resist him, and he was resentful. His eyes turned around a few times, and suddenly he looked at the blood on the silver in his hand, and looked Xiao Cheng up and down with suspicion. Then he said...

"There's blood on the money. Tell me, did you steal it?"

"Oh, now I remember that Uncle Zhao was just killed and all the money in his house was missing. Could it be that you killed Uncle Zhao and stole his money?"

Although it is said that Uncle Zhao was killed by his grandson Xiao Cheng, what does it matter if this poor guy dares to resist and slander him?

Anyway, Xiao Cheng has escaped and Uncle Zhao is dead, so there is no evidence. So let this poor guy in front of him know how powerful he is.

The waiter was narrow-minded and vindictive, so he immediately opened his voice and roared at the guests eating in the hall...

"Everyone, come and see. The murderer who killed Mr. Zhao is here. He also stole Mr. Zhao's money. Hurry and report to the police."

As the saying goes, a blind cat catches a dead mouse.

Because Xiao Cheng's money was exactly what he had looted from Uncle Zhao at midnight last night, and the bloodstains on it were also from Uncle Zhao.

When Xiao Cheng heard that he was going to report to the police, he felt guilty and ran away.

When everyone saw this, they realized that the short kid in front of them might really be the murderer who killed the man called "Uncle".

Seeing this, the waiter got even more excited, and chased to the front door, opened his throat, and roared at the street...

"Someone come quickly! The murderer has escaped. He is the one who hurt Mr. Zhao last night. Someone come quickly, catch the murderer."

Coincidentally, there was a team of soldiers patrolling the street. When they heard the waiter's shout, they immediately rushed over with weapons in hand and asked...

"Where is the murderer?"

The waiter pointed to the end of the street, jumped up and down, and shouted anxiously...

"Where is he? Where is he? Go chase him quickly. Don't let him escape. He is the murderer who killed Mr. Zhao."

"Look, there's Uncle Zhao's blood on this money."

The leading officer was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly: "How do you know it was Mr. Zhao's blood? Could it be that the person who escaped was Xiao Cheng?"

Seeing that the soldiers did not chase him, the waiter was extremely anxious and shouted, "It's not Xiaocheng, but I am sure that this person is definitely the murderer of Uncle Zhao."

Otherwise, he would never run away when he heard Uncle Zhao's name. It was obvious that he had something to hide.

Although the officers and soldiers were skeptical, they still went after the suspect in order to solve the case. Since none of them had seen the suspect before, they also brought the waiter with them to make it easier to identify him.

But just when they were about to catch up with the person, the person suddenly disappeared in front of them, and they were completely confused.

"Boss, do we want to search every house?" The officers and soldiers looked at the densely packed houses in front of them and turned to ask the leading officer and soldier.

The leading officer was troubled by the fact that Mr. Zhao's case had not been solved yet. Now that they finally had a little clue, they must not let it go. So, they waved their hands and said...

"Search, but be polite to the villagers and don't scare them."

"Yes." The officers and soldiers agreed and began to search every household and check the houses.

As for Xiao Cheng, he thought that his identity had been discovered by the waiter and that soldiers were chasing him. He fled into an alley in panic like a stray dog. When he was about to be caught by the soldiers, suddenly, a big hand stretched out from the room and pulled him in.

"Useless thing, something happened just a moment after I left. What use do you have?" A cold voice sounded.

Xiao Cheng looked back and found that it was the mysterious man.

"Owner."

"Come in quickly, do you want to be caught and beheaded?"

Hearing the word "beheading", Xiao Cheng couldn't help but shiver all over. He was still young and hadn't lived enough, so he didn't want to die, so he hurriedly followed the mysterious man in.

Tens of seconds later.

There was a violent knock on the door, followed by a man's rough voice...

"Fellow villagers, we are patrolling soldiers. We just found a fugitive and we are tracking him down. He suddenly disappeared. Please open the door and cooperate with the government in searching for the prisoner."

Although the voice was polite, it was also unquestionable.

The mysterious man waved his hand, and Xiao Cheng's facial features changed. He warned in a low voice...

"Your facial features are completely different now. Don't panic. If you reveal your true colors again, I will no longer care about you. Just wait for your beheading in Youzhou."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng stroked his cheeks with both hands and asked with some concern...

"Master, am I really different now than I was just now?"

"Of course it's real." The mysterious man was a little impatient when he heard this. He raised his hand and a mirror appeared in his palm. He turned around and handed it to him, saying...

"See for yourself."

Xiao Cheng took the mirror and looked at himself. As expected, he had completely changed from his previous handsome appearance. He was now darker, thinner, and his facial features were ugly. He was not a face lover, but he was really ugly. He couldn't help but say...

"Master, this... this is too ugly."

"Now is the time to save lives, and you are still complaining about this and that. If you dislike this ugly skin, then show your true face." After saying that, he really raised his hand and wanted to tear off the human skin mask on Xiao Cheng's face.

Xiao Cheng was so scared that he stepped back and said...

"Master, I was wrong. Don't tear it. It's ugly, so I admit it."

The mysterious man sneered, turned around and walked out to open the door. Soon, the soldiers came in with the waiter.

When Xiao Cheng saw the waiter, he felt uneasy and cold sweat broke out. In order to prevent others from noticing what was going on, he tried his best to lower his head.

"Who is he?" The leading soldier glanced at Xiao Cheng.

At this time, the mysterious man had already disguised himself as an ordinary farmer, with a simple and honest face. He smiled and bent over and said...

"Sir, he is my child. He is 12 years old this year. He looks like his mother and is a little ugly. Sir, please don't be afraid. Although he is ugly, he is a good person and has no bad intentions."

"Yes." The leading soldier nodded. At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the waiter, meaning to ask him to recognize the person.

The waiter followed the soldiers and ran around for a long time, panting with exhaustion. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known it would be so hard, he would not have framed that poor guy. He glanced at Xiao Cheng, shook his head listlessly, and whispered...

"not him."

The leading officer nodded and ordered his men to search again. When they found nothing suspicious, they withdrew their troops and left.

Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they really didn't recognize him.

The mysterious man closed the door, glanced back at him, and said...

"Didn't you say you had something to do? Are you still going now?"

Xiao Cheng reacted, his eyes emitting a monstrous hatred. If it weren't for the frame-up by the Huo Dong brothers and sisters, he wouldn't have fallen to this point, and his grandfather wouldn't have been so angry. He must avenge this, and gnashed his teeth and said, "Go, of course."

The mysterious man glanced at him with contempt and said, "But I see that you are quite timid. You are so scared by a small thing. I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything. Why don't you not go and save your life."

"No, I must avenge myself." Xiao Cheng clenched his fists tightly, his face full of determination.

"Be careful this time. You're not always so lucky to have me save you."

"understood."

Xiao Cheng nodded, took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the house.

At this time, the streets were full of soldiers searching, and the people were very cooperative, so there was no chaos.

Academy.

Due to what happened at Xianhe Tower last night, the Huo Dong brothers and sisters slept too late and did not come to the academy, so Xiao Cheng came to a deserted place. However, the old man guarding the door saw that he looked unfamiliar and lost, and thought that he wanted to study, so he told him that as long as he was a local resident, he could go to the dean with a certificate to register and then come to the academy to study.

Maybe it's been a while since anyone has talked, the old man has a lot to say, "Little kid, let me tell you, our King of Youzhou is very good, as long as you are a resident of Youzhou, you can go to school for free. You came to our Youzhou, it's the blessing you accumulated in your previous life, free food, free accommodation, and free schooling, where else can you get such treatment in other countries?"

"Don't you think so?"

Xiao Cheng glared at him. Of course he knew that he had been in Youzhou for a long time, but the feeling now was completely different from before.

He used to sleep on the street with his grandfather and only had two meals every three days. Suddenly he came to Youzhou, where he could have enough food to eat, a house to live in, and books to read. It really was like living in heaven, and he was very grateful.

But now it is completely different, full of hatred.

I wish I could kill the entire family of King Youzhou to avenge him. If it weren’t for them, my grandfather would still be alive and well now.

Xiao Cheng did not reflect on himself at all. The reason why he ended up in this situation was all due to his greed. His grandfather's death was also caused by him and had nothing to do with others.

The old man at the gate thought he didn't believe it, so he said...

"Little kid, I didn't lie to you. Youzhou is really good. There are really free meals and free books. If you don't believe me, ask your family to go to the government and ask."

"Okay, got it." In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, Xiao Cheng agreed and turned away.
