Bishop's Retirement

Chapter 265 Steal money?

It was morning, and the sun was high.

The streets of Jinling City are bustling with bustling, prosperous and noisy.

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

Although this piece of Daoxuan's mouth and bones are failing, he walks steadily and walks like the wind.

But in a moment, Wang Ye was left behind.

Seeing Zhang Daoxuan walking in front of him, Wang Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

This old man speaks nicely.

Those who are pure and pure are happy to cultivate themselves and help the world, with a pure heart and few desires.

As a result, the speed to Yihong Courtyard was ridiculously fast!

I don't know, I thought Zhang Daoxuan took him to Yihong Court...

"This Jinling is indeed the capital city, extremely prosperous..."

At this time, Zhang Daoxuan looked at the prosperous scene around him, and said, "Today's sight is really extraordinary..."

"This level of prosperity is hard to match for Jiangling City!"

"Daozhang Zhang..."

Just when Zhang Daoxuan was deeply moved, Wang Ye rushed up from behind and said, "Whether it is Jinling or Jiangling, can you stop walking so fast?"

Between the words, Wang Ye panted and said, "I can't catch up with your speed!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhang Daoxuan said: "The poor Taoist was attracted by this magnificent scene for a while, and he didn't take into account the shopkeeper Wang..."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye rolled his eyes again.

This old man has traveled all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge.

Coupled with the fact that he was able to find a place like Changle Gambling House, he must also know something about Jinling City.

To be able to be attracted by the grand scene in this way, only a ghost would believe it!
I'm afraid it's not that this old man is more anxious than himself to go to Yihong Courtyard!

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

But at this moment, the sound of a bamboo board being knocked suddenly came.

"Hitting bamboo boards makes a loud noise, and the rich people in Jinling are also kind. All elders, do your best, and you will be rewarded with a lot of money to eat!"

Following the sound, he saw a beggar standing not far away, begging for money with a bamboo board.

beggar?

Seeing this, Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Jinling City has been prosperous since ancient times, and there are very few beggars. Even if there are sporadic beggars, they will be sent to nursing homes to varying degrees.

There are very few people who ask for money from such playing boards.

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

Although the beggar was ragged, he had four pockets on his body.

Not only that, this beggar's body is strong, not as thin as other beggars at all.

The four bags of disciples of the beggar gang...

After seeing the cloth bag, Wang Ye thought to himself.

After experiencing the iron-armed Beggar Buddha last time, Wang Ye felt a little more vigilant when he saw the disciples of the Beggar Clan again.

Beggar gang disciples appeared in Jinling again.

Could it be that the beggar gang is doing something again?
"It's another dog from the beggar gang!"

Just as Wang Ye was thinking secretly, Zhang Daoxuan on the side said: "Since the death of the old gang leader Hong, this beggar gang has been reduced to evil heretics, cheating, kidnapping and stealing. It's really disgusting!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded.

At this time, he was just about to say something when 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 then ran forward.

"Where is the thief running!?"

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

It looks like the beggar just stole the money from the commoner man.

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

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye hurriedly reminded him.

This group of beggar gang disciples not only kidnapped and sold children, they were also quite proficient in stealing and pickpocketing.

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

"Treasurer Wang, don't worry..."

Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan smiled slightly, and said: "This kind of petty tricks can't steal money from the poor..."

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

As he said, Zhang Daoxuan took out a bulging money bag from behind, opened it, and showed a smile: "A total of 25 taels of silver, which is not a lot..."

???

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye froze in place.

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

"The beggar just now..."

Seeing Wang Ye's expression, Zhang Daoxuan said: "The poor Taoist is also a wanderer, and he wants to steal my money by such a method, it really makes people laugh!"

"It just so happens that these 25 taels of silver can save a lot of expenses!"

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

Not only did he steal a penny, but he also stole 25 taels of silver from a beggar. This way of Daoxuan is really wild.

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

Then he walked towards Yihong Courtyard with Zhang Daoxuan.

……

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

The beggar who had fled just now sat in the alley, with a trace of expectation on his face.

Beside him is the civilian man who just chased after him.

The two looked relaxed and did not have the feeling of chasing each other just now.

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

"How about it?"

At this time, the man in commoner looked at the beggar and said, "How much silver did you touch from that old Taoist?"

Between the words, the clothed man looked expectant.

"Hey, that old-fashioned poor guy, I didn't get any money..."

At this time, the beggar curled his lips and asked the commoner man, "What about you? How much did you touch the man next to the old Taoist priest?"

"I didn't touch anything either!"

The man in common clothes slapped his thigh and said, "After working hard for a long time, I co-operated and stole two poor ghosts!"

Between the words, there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Okay, there are many rich people in Jinling City, and there will be opportunities in the future..."

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

As he spoke, the beggar stretched his hand into his bosom to take out the money bag.

As a result, his smile froze on his face in an instant.

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

Sensing this, the beggar panicked.

After fumbling with his palm for a while, he still couldn't find the money bag.

"broken!"

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

"Look at your potential..."

Hearing this, the man in common clothes said, "The money was not stolen, and he took his own money."

"Forget it, I'll treat you to dinner this time, and return it to me after you steal the money in the afternoon!"

As he said this, the clothed man stretched into his bosom and touched it.

Immediately, his expression froze on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the expression of the commoner man, the beggar asked.

"My purse..."

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