Chapter 825 Let the Skinny Monkey Go!
Just following Zhang Heng out to inspect the little slave girl, I experienced firsthand how chaotic this place was.
She was walking down the street when someone snatched the purse tightly in her hand.
After that, the guy rushed directly into the crowd. No matter how the little slave girl shouted behind him, the passers-by around him were indifferent, as if they didn't see the crime happening in front of them. Everyone's face was filled with numbness and confusion. indifferent.
In the end, the little slave girl had to stop shouting and stood on the street angrily. Then she asked Zhang Heng, who was watching the fun next to her, "Why didn't you stop him?"
Zhang Heng said, "Isn't there a lot of money in it?"
The two of them had a division of labor when they went out. Zhang Heng, of course, kept valuables and gold coins on his person, while the little slave girl's purse contained change, about thirty sesterces.
"But that's also our money," the little slave girl said gloomily. In addition to losing the money, she was also worried about Zhang Heng's next job. It was still broad daylight, and the security here was so bad, and it was even worse at night. Can't imagine.
As a result, Zhang Heng said leisurely, "It's not impossible to get your money back if you want."
"Everyone has disappeared, why do you want me?" The little slave girl opened her eyes wide.
"Although the person who stole your money ran away, his accomplices are still there." Zhang Heng said, "Generally, this kind of money robbery is committed by gangs. There is a clear division of labor. There are people who select targets, people who steal money, and people who steal money. Pretend to be a passerby but can always come to support if needed."
As Zhang Heng spoke, he nodded at a short boy in the crowd, only eleven or twelve years old, "Hey, don't run away."
When the latter saw Zhang Heng pointing at him, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face. Especially when he heard the word "don't run", he turned around and ran away without any hesitation. However, it was still a step too late. He didn't know who the other party was. Why did she suddenly appear behind him in such a short period of time?
He had just taken half a step with his front foot when his back foot was lifted off the ground.
However, he did not give in. He wanted to take off his clothes and run away naked, but Zhang Heng couldn't hide this little trick. The latter used the clothes he took off to hit him on the neck. He tried to run away but felt his throat getting tighter and tighter, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.
"Where are your accomplices? Take us to meet them." Zhang Heng said calmly.
However, he soon realized that his question seemed to be in vain, because perhaps after seeing the companion who was responsible for supporting being arrested, the guy who had robbed the little slave girl's purse had kidnapped him back, and he also brought two other people with him. The accomplice was standing not far away.
The oldest of them is estimated to be around sixteen years old, while the youngest looks to be only ten years old. They all have weapons in their hands at this moment, which makes the little slave girl feel a little frightened.
"Let the skinny monkey go," the boy who grabbed the money said loudly. He was also the oldest in the group.
"Okay, give us back the money you stole from us first." Zhang Heng said calmly.
"What are you thinking? We are not negotiating with you. If you don't do what we do, we will make you look good!" The boy who grabbed the money raised the dagger in his hand and said viciously.
The little slave girl hid behind Zhang Heng and poked her head out after hearing this, "You are too bold. You actually robbed someone on the street and threatened the victim after being discovered. Aren't you afraid that we will tell the patrol?"
"It's useless for you to tell the patrol, they have no control over this place." The boy who stole the money sneered, "If you know what's going on, just tell someone to get out, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
"Oh, really, what are you going to do?" Zhang Heng said as he kicked the young man he caught in the calf, causing the latter to kneel on the ground. The young man grabbing the money saw this as a provocation to them. Unable to bear it any longer, Xiang rushed forward with a roar and a dagger in hand.
It's a pity that their fighting skills are not as good as robbing money. In addition, due to their age, their fighting ability is really limited, and they picked the wrong opponent. Zhang Heng knocked them all to the ground with almost no effort. The weapon was not even touched during this process.
Then he squatted down, searched the boy who had robbed the money, took out the little slave girl's money bag from the latter's arms, and returned it to its original owner, "Count it, are there any missing?"
The little slave girl happily took the money bag, made a face at the group of beaten and staggered teenagers on the ground, counted the copper coins inside, nodded to Zhang Heng, "They are all here."
However, the smile on her face did not last long, and soon froze there.
Because then another group of figures appeared on the street.
The numb passers-by didn't react when they heard her call before, as if they were indifferent to everything around them, but this time they moved very quickly, and they hurriedly dodge when they saw the group of people walking towards her. Go to the side, and the slow one is pushed to the ground. He doesn't dare to complain. He quickly stands up again, lowers his head and leaves.
Zhang Heng noticed that the boy who was robbing the money also had a flash of fear in his eyes when he saw this group of people.
"What's going on? Is there anyone here who needs help?" The leader, a tall, slightly feminine-looking Jewish man, asked, with a hint of frivolity in his long voice.
"No, it's nothing." The boy who grabbed the money lowered his head and said, "We were just joking."
"Are you kidding?" The feminine-looking Jewish man smiled, "Tell me about you guys. You don't do any serious work all day long, you only know how to play around. Have you collected the money for this week? Tonight is the deadline. ”
"We're trying to figure it out."
"Are you thinking of ways to raise money, or are you trying to figure out how to lie to get through?" the feminine-looking Jewish man asked, "Don't say I didn't warn you, but I heard that you have robbed several fat sheep recently. I hope When the time comes, the numbers you come up with will satisfy the iron shackles, otherwise you know what will happen. As for you..."
The black-tailed snake shifted his gaze to Zhang Heng, and said with a half-smile, "You injured one of our people, tell me what to do."
Different from the gang of teenagers who were robbing money, the seven people in front of them were all adults, and the weapons in their hands looked more fierce, including gloves filled with nails and hammers. Some of them even had some combat experience. , once worked as an underground gladiator or a bodyguard.
Seeing this, the little slave girl couldn't help but said nervously, "What should I do? Those who ran away will go back and notify the patrol team?"
"It's unlikely. Besides, I'm from the patrol team. Although I haven't reported yet, there's no problem if I join the job a few hours in advance." Zhang Heng still looked unhurried, and he patted The money-grabbing boy's cheek said, "Be honest, I have some questions to ask you, but I have to deal with the matter over there first."
