Chapter 265 Stealing money?

It was mid-morning and the sun was high in the sky.

The streets of Jinling City are bustling with people and there is endless prosperity and noise.

Wang Ye and Zhang Daoxuan walked side by side, heading towards Yihongyuan in the south of the city.

Although Zhang Daoxuan kept saying that he was in poor health, he walked steadily and as fast as the wind.

But in just a moment, he left Wang Ye behind.

Looking at Zhang Daoxuan walking in front of him, Wang Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This old man speaks nicely.

People who practice asceticism are happy to cultivate themselves, help the world, and keep their minds clear and desires few.

As a result, the speed of heading to Yihongyuan was ridiculously fast!

I don’t know, I thought it was Zhang Daoxuan who took me to Yihongyuan…

"This Jinling is indeed a large and prosperous city..."

At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan looked at the prosperous scene around him and said, "This is indeed an extraordinary sight..."

"This level of prosperity is hard to come by even in Jiangling City!"

"Master Zhang..."

Just when Zhang Daoxuan was feeling extremely emotional, Wang Ye rushed up from behind and said, "Whether it's Jinling or Jiangling, can you not walk so fast?"

As he spoke, Wang Ye panted and said, "I can't catch up with your speed!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhang Daoxuan said, "I was so attracted by the grand scene that I didn't even consider Manager Wang..."

After these words were spoken, Wang Ye rolled his eyes again.

This old man has traveled a lot and has a wide range of knowledge.

In addition, since he could find a place like Changle Casino, he must have some knowledge of Jinling City.

How could he be attracted by such a magnificent scene? No one would believe it! This old man must be even more eager to go to Yihong Courtyard than I am!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye was about to say something.

At this moment, the sound of beating bamboo boards suddenly came.

"The sound of bamboo clappers resounds through the air. The rich people of Jinling are kind. Elders, please be kind and give me a big coin to eat my fill!"

Following the sound, I saw a beggar standing not far away, beating a bamboo board to ask for money.

beggar?

Seeing this, Wang Ye's brows narrowed slightly.

Jinling City has been prosperous since ancient times, with very few beggars. Even if there are sporadic beggars, they will be sent to the poorhouse according to different levels of their condition.

Even fewer people would ask for money for such a deal.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye glanced at the beggar and found a clue.

Although the beggar was dressed in rags, he had four pockets on his body.

Not only that, this beggar has a strong body and is not as thin as other beggars.

The four-bag disciple of the Beggars' Sect...

After seeing this cloth bag, Wang Ye thought secretly in his heart.

After experiencing the incident with the Iron-Armed Beggar Buddha last time, Wang Ye instantly felt a little more alert when he saw the disciples of the Beggar Gang again.

The Beggars' Sect disciples appeared in Jinling again.

Could it be that the Beggars' Sect is making another move? "Another Beggars' Sect bastard!"

While Wang Ye was thinking secretly, Zhang Daoxuan beside him said, "Since the death of old leader Hong, the Beggars' Sect has become evil and has committed all kinds of evil, cheating, stealing and stealing. It's really disgusting!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded.

Just as he was about to say something, a beggar bumped into Zhang Daoxuan's arms.

"Master Dao, I'm sorry, Master Dao!"

After bumping into Zhang Daoxuan, the beggar left a word and continued running forward.

"Where are you running to, little thief!?"

After the beggar ran away, a man in cloth bumped into Wang Ye again and chased after the beggar.

It looked like the beggar had just stolen the money from the cloth-clothed man.

"Master Zhang, please check to see if your money is still there!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye quickly spoke up to remind them.

This group of Beggar Gang disciples not only kidnapped children, but were also quite skilled in stealing and pickpocketing.

The method of bumping into people and stealing their money is a common trick.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wang..."

Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Such petty theft tricks can't steal my money..."

"Not only that, I also made a fortune!"

As he spoke, Zhang Daoxuan took out a bulging purse from behind him, opened it, and smiled: "A total of twenty-five taels of silver, not a small amount..."

???

After these words were spoken, Wang Ye stood there in a daze.

He looked at Zhang Daoxuan in front of him and said, "Master Zhang, this purse is..."

"The beggar just now..."

Looking at Wang Ye's expression, Zhang Daoxuan said, "I am a wanderer, and you want to steal my money in this way. It's really laughable!"

"It just so happens that these twenty-five taels of silver can save a lot of expenses!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but shook his head.

Not only did he not steal a penny, he also stole 25 taels of silver from the beggar. Zhang Daoxuan's methods were really wild.

I'm afraid the thief just now is going to lose a lot of money! Thinking of this, Wang Ye smiled.

Then he walked towards Yihongyuan with Zhang Daoxuan.

…

A moment later, in a quiet alley in Jinling City.

The beggar who had just escaped sat in the alley with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Next to him was the plain-clothed man who had just been chasing him.

The two of them looked relaxed, without that feeling of chasing each other just now.

Obviously, these two were just pretending to chase, but in fact they were trying to steal other people's property...

"How about it?"

At this time, the man in cloth looked at the beggar and asked, "How much silver did you take from the old Taoist priest just now?"

As he spoke, the man in plain clothes had a look of anticipation on his face.

"Hey, that old Taoist priest is a poor fellow, I didn't get a penny..."

At this time, the beggar curled his lips and asked the cloth-clothed man, "What about you? How much did you take from the man next to the old Taoist priest?"

“I didn’t touch anything!”

The cloth-dressed man slapped his thigh and said, "I worked so hard for so long, and now I have stolen from two poor fellows!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Okay, Jinling City is rich and has many people, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."

Hearing this, the beggar smiled and said, "I'm hungry after running all the way. Let's go eat something good!"

As he said this, the beggar reached into his arms and prepared to take out his purse.

As a result, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Because his arms were empty, there was no trace of his purse at all.

Feeling this, the beggar panicked.

After searching his body for a while, he still couldn't find any trace of the purse.

"broken!"

At this time, the beggar looked at the cloth-clothed man beside him and said, "My purse is gone!"

"Look at what you have accomplished..."

Hearing this, the cloth-clothed man said, "Not only did he fail to steal the money, he also lost his own money."

"Forget it, I'll treat you to a meal this time, and you can return the money you stole to me in the afternoon!"

As he said this, the man in plain clothes reached into his arms and touched.

Suddenly his expression froze on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the look on the cloth-clothed man's face, the beggar asked.

"My purse..."

Hearing this, the cloth-clothed man slowly raised his head and said, "It's gone too!"
