Dingzhou was a large commercial city. It was extremely lively from the morning market until midnight.
When shopping in Dingzhou, one could go out at any time. Every shop would be open until midnight, so there was no need to worry about not being able to buy anything.
It was just that when shopping in Dingzhou, one had to always remember not to squeeze into crowded places. Otherwise, it was very likely that after squeezing out of the crowd, all the valuable things on one's body would be searched.
Dingzhou City's thieves were the fastest thieves in the world. There was once a rich merchant who saw a group of people watching the show and squeezed into the crowd to watch. When the crowd dispersed, the rich merchant was stripped of everything. Even his underwear, which hid the silver notes, was stripped off. All that was left on his body was the outermost robe, but the rich merchant did not notice it at all.
Qin Ren was shopping with Du Xiaoyan, followed by Qiao Wei, Tu Hong, and the other servants and experts.
Du Xiaoyan held Third Young Master's arm and leaned her head on Third Young Master's shoulder. She acted like a lady and walked lightly.
Third Young Master smiled and held a folding fan in one hand. He walked three steps and waved it twice, pretending to be a romantic scholar.
Qiao Wei was carrying a few bags of things that he had bought, and he looked around as he walked. Tu Hong and the others looked around warily with empty hands, always on guard against pedestrians approaching Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan.
It was at this time that Uncle Li had his eyes on Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan. He was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant with a glass of wine in his hand. He gestured to a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old who was selling vegetables under the window.
The girl looked ordinary, and her face was very dull. Her hair was also quite messy, and there was even a lot of dandruff in her hair.
However, her eyes were very beautiful. Her sparkling eyes gave off a strange feeling.
After seeing Uncle Li's gesture, she nodded her head subtly and used the body of a customer who came to buy vegetables to cover herself. She gestured to a little beggar sitting on the street.
After the little beggar saw the girl's gesture, he looked to the side and gently knocked the black bamboo pole on the ground a few times.
When the little beggar knocked on the bamboo pole, a group of about forty little beggars in ragged clothes magically surged out from all directions and rushed toward Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan. They held the broken bowls in their hands and shouted,"Young Master and Young Miss, please do me a favor. I'm starving!”
Seeing this strange scene, Tu Hong instinctively felt that something was wrong. He immediately gave a look, and the experts of the Balance Villa quickly surrounded Du Xiaoyan and the Third Young Master, ready to help them push away the group of little beggars.
Tu Hong couldn't guarantee that there weren't any top-notch killers among this group of little beggars. Many killers liked to pretend to be beggars and assassinate when they were begging for money.
Although they suspected that there was something wrong with the situation, Tu Hong and the others still couldn't bear to throw the little beggars away after beating them up. So, even though they stood in front of Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan, they still took out a lot of copper coins from their pockets and prepared to use these copper coins to send the group of beggars away.
Fortunately, none of the young beggars were killers. Moreover, these beggars were very cooperative and obeyed Tu Hong and the others 'arrangements. They rushed past Tu Hong and the other eight experts and took the copper coins that Tu Hong and the others handed over.
Of course, due to the large number of beggars, when they took the copper coins from Tu Hong and the others, they inevitably caused a commotion. On average, five or six beggars surrounded an expert, and after a round of chaos, they scattered like birds and beasts.
Watching the little beggars disperse, Tu Hong and the others felt a little strange, but they also felt that something was wrong.
Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan looked at Tu Hong and the others with a smile. Seeing that they were confused, Third Young Master patted Tu Hong's shoulder and said with a smile,""Leader Tu, you should bring these brothers back to put on some clothes.”
Hearing this, Tu Hong and the others were shocked. They suddenly felt a chill on their bodies. They looked down and saw that their clothes were almost stripped off, leaving only a pair of underwear.
Eight naked experts wearing only underwear of various colors stood in the middle of the road. The surrounding crowd had long since laughed.
Tu Hong immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted,""Damn it, those little beggars are so vicious! When I catch them, I will skin them alive!”
He looked around after saying those harsh words, but there was no sign of a beggar. The group of young beggars had slipped off to somewhere unknown. Even the young beggar who was sitting on the street and knocking on the bamboo pole was nowhere to be seen.
Tu Hong and the others also felt a lingering fear in their hearts. Those little beggars were so fast that they didn't even realize that they had stripped them naked. If there was really a killer among them who wanted to assassinate Tu Hong, he would not be afraid of Tu Hong if he stabbed his dagger into his vitals so quickly. However, the other seven experts would inevitably be doomed!
Du Xiaoyan held back her laughter and said," Uncle Tu, how you're going to deal with those thieves is a matter for the future. It's better to go back now. You're making a fool of yourself by standing on the street."”
Tu Hong and the others immediately blushed. After apologizing to Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan, they ran toward the Du residence and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Wei didn't suffer. In fact, after the group of little beggars stripped Tu Hong and the others, they also wanted to take care of Qiao Wei. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't reach Qiao Wei even if they got close to him. A strange air current gushed out from Qiao Wei's body, and when their hands reached out, they bounced their hands away.
The group of little beggars knew that Qiao Wei was not easy to deal with, so they ran away very quickly.
What a joke. Qiao Wei had tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Third Young Master and some valuable gadgets on him. How could he let those thieves lay their hands on him?
"Dingzhou City's thieves indeed live up to their reputation.”The Third Young Master waved his fan and sighed. Those thieves were extremely fast. Even Tu Hong and the other real experts would be stripped naked if they made any physical contact with the thieves. "However, there are a few thieves whose techniques seem to be that of experts.”
At this moment, a young man in a green shirt appeared beside Uncle Li in the restaurant. He bowed respectfully to Uncle Li and said,"Uncle Li, this time, we've gained quite a lot. We got a total of 1200 taels of silver, 127 taels of loose silver, and more than 500 big coins. There were also five jade pendants and six snuff bottles. He didn't know their value for the time being. He could only make a judgment after evaluating them.”
Uncle Li nodded and said,"Yes, not bad." However, it was a pity that the servants had so much money on them. Their master might have even more money on him. Sigh, now that the boy and girl were already on guard, it would be difficult to make a move.”
He glanced at Qiao Wei from the corner of his eye and said,"Why didn't we attack that servant?”
"We tried, but it's strange. No matter how hard we tried, Piglet and the others couldn't reach that person, even after using the Thousand Phantom Hand," the young man said. My disciple guessed that the servant was very likely a very powerful expert.”
"What is it? He couldn't even reach out to a servant with the Thousand Phantom Hands?”Shocked, Uncle Li looked at Qiao Wei again and saw him looking up at him with a smile.
Uncle Li's heart was beating wildly. He quickly looked away and saw that the boy and girl were also smiling at him.
"Not good, they found out!" Uncle Li cursed in a low voice. He was about to give the girl selling vegetables downstairs a look, but he saw the young man take a step forward and block the girl selling vegetables. Uncle Li was really a little surprised now."Yun geer, immediately think of a way to let Xiao Ye leave. Damn it, how did they find me?”
The young man nodded and ran downstairs. Uncle Li forced himself to stay calm. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he looked at Qiao Wei with a hopeless look. He saw Qiao Wei's lips move a few times, and Uncle Li's expression immediately changed.
Qiao Wei mouthed,"Li Guding, after so many years, do you still remember me?"”
The young man in green, who was called Yun 'er, had just run downstairs and stood at the entrance of the restaurant, ready to gesture to the girl selling vegetables. However, he found that the young master was waving his folding fan and looking at him with a smile. The young lady who was holding the young master's arm glanced at him and then glanced at the girl selling vegetables.
In fact, when Uncle Li winked at the girl selling vegetables, Third Young Master had already noticed something strange. Of course, that was only discovered by accident.
With Third Young Master's character, how could he not look sideways when he walked? Naturally, he had to look around to see if there were any beautiful women passing by on the street. He also had to look at the restaurants on both sides of the street. He happened to glance at the window on the second floor of the restaurant where Uncle Li was sitting and saw Uncle Li's strange look.
Third Young Master didn't pay attention to it at that time. He only followed Uncle Li's gaze and saw the girl selling vegetables. Then, he saw the little beggar on the street opposite the girl selling vegetables. The little beggar's action of hitting the bamboo pole naturally couldn't be hidden from Third Young Master. The appearance of a large group of little beggars naturally made Third Young Master think that something was strange.
It was normal for Qiao Wei to discover these oddities. With his abilities as a Demon Sect Elder, Qiao Qitian, if he could not even discover such a small trick, then he would have really wasted decades.
Third Young Master winked at Yun Geer and said,""Wei Ge, catch the thief."
Qiao Wei nodded and winked at Uncle Li who was upstairs with Third Young Master on his back. Then, he strode towards Yun Ge 'er who was standing in front of the restaurant.
Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan walked towards the girl who was selling vegetables.
When the girl saw Third Young Master walking over, she smiled calmly and said,""Young Master, do you want to buy some side dishes? Look at these little green onions. They were all picked from the garden this morning. They are very juicy. And this cabbage…"
"Buying vegetables is for servants." Third Young Master interrupted the young girl's words. He fanned himself and stared into the young girl's eyes. He smiled and said,"Miss, wearing a human skin mask on your face is probably very uncomfortable, right? Do you want me to help you take off your mask? Or do you want to do it yourself?"
