Bab 160: Debts

Xu Xiaoyi was fifteen or sixteen years old, but his childish features and short stature made him appear only eleven or twelve. He was smaller in size than even Shangguan Ru. Most people tended to ignore a child like that, but despite being small, he was capable of great mischief and was highly astute in South City affairs. He was third-rate as a servant in a brothel, second-rate at stealing things, but most importantly, first-rate at obtaining information.

Ever since it was mentioned at a dining table that rice grains were found on Marquis Gao's bed after his death, the matter had constantly weighed on his mind, and he was able to hear a lot of news regarding it by hanging out in different parts of town.
