Before they could explain, Ye Wenxue knocked them unconscious and then gave Dazhuang a wink.
Da Zhuang was afraid that she would let the tiger return to the mountain, so after receiving a look, he quickly started to search the belongings of the people who were tied up.
Ye Wenxue watched helplessly as Dazhuang pulled out an ounce of silver from the fabric between one man's legs...
She turned her face away, somewhat reluctantly.
This child doesn't need to be so honest.
Dazhuang didn't see anything wrong with it. He searched through all the silver coins and counted the money he had taken from the fallen woman.

“Mother, elder brother, this is what we found on her; it seems to be a notice from the government.”
