It is said that there are two slums in Nanping, one at the east end and one at the west end.
Muchuan and the others have been to the west end.
This time in the slums on the east side, several sneaky people sneaked under a wooden shed.
This wooden shed is quite strange. It is not inserted into the ground, but sunk into the ground.
These people walked into the wooden shed. The ground was full of rugged stones. These stones were big, small, long, and short. They didn't look aesthetic at all. Even the poorest beggar couldn't escape here.
Sleeping, whoever sleeps one night will probably go to heaven the next day.
One of them reached out to touch one of the stones and twisted it a few times in a specific pattern.
Soon, a shocking scene happened. The stones cracked from the middle, and a downward staircase appeared.
The few people didn't stop at all and hurriedly walked down the stairs.
As soon as a few people got out, the cracks merged again and returned to their usual appearance.
"Quick, quick, quick! Take out all the harvest today!"
There was a cave underground, and in front of a grotto, a young man with an aquiline nose shouted at the people who were coming one after another.
The people who arrived were all very thin and quite young.
If Muchuan were here, he would see that the young boy who stole his wallet was among them.
These thieves took out their trophies one after another and handed them to their immediate superiors.
They are just tools. No matter how much money they steal, it does not belong to them and must be turned over to the organization.
If any of them did not gain anything on any day, they would have to stay hungry that day.
The hook-nosed man was cursing while collecting the money.
"Damn it, you didn't steal anything?
Why don't you die?"
The hooked nose kicked the little girl, sending her flying two or three meters away.
The rest of the people looked on numbly, without any reaction.
They knew very well that anyone who dared to speak for her would be beaten and even deprived of food.
The young child looked at the little girl, clenching his skinny fists tightly.
That was his biological sister, but what could he do?
If you force yourself to come forward, it will have no effect other than a severe beating.
Soon, the money from the hooked nose was received by the young child.
Seeing the child hand over an extremely delicate wallet, the hooked nose couldn't help but be stunned.
He snatched the wallet away, opened it and took a look inside.
"Gawa, where the hell did you get that wallet?"
The hooked nose looked away and looked at the child named Gawa in disbelief.
Gawa thought she had a good harvest today and could get extra rewards, so she was in a good mood.
Then get some more food and give it all to my sister.
Gawa thought so innocently.
"I stole it from a rich man."
Gawa replied.
Thinking of the rich man, Gawa felt a little guilty.
He was a good man, but I still stole from him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawa suddenly received a heavy slap on the face.
Gawa was so thin and weak that she could not withstand the slap. She was whipped around several times and then fell heavily to the ground. Her face was already black and there was blood coming out of her mouth.
"You want to fucking kill everyone?"
The hook-nosed man was still angry and kicked Gawa one after another, shouting almost hysterically: "This wallet is made of the finest silk, with gold lace on it. Do you know what this means?"
"This fucking wallet alone is worth thousands of gold! I'm afraid you stole it from a big shot from out of state!"
The Thieves Guild's intelligence network is very dense, and they know that the former prince was assassinated, and Nanping has been pushed to the forefront. During this period, many big figures from other places also came to Nanping.
Therefore, the Thieves Guild has not dared to send out its main force recently, and only lets some little guys go out to steal some small things to make ends meet.
In order to prevent offending the big shots they couldn't afford to offend, they also specifically told them not to offend those who were luxuriously dressed and accompanied by servants.
However, the Thieves Guild never expected that there would be someone like Muchuan who would go shopping without even a servant.
This is also the reason why Gawa knew that Muchuan was dressed luxuriously, but after observing for a long time, she still came over to steal it. It was because Muchuan did not bring a servant and was no longer within the scope of stealing.
"stop fighting!"
The little girl who had just been kicked away limped over, but she hugged the hook-nosed thigh and begged.
She knew very well that if she stepped on it like this again, her brother would definitely die.
The hooked nose became even more angry. Just as he was about to get angry, the stone door behind him suddenly opened slowly.
Immediately afterwards, a faint and arrogant female voice sounded.
"Archie, how many times have I told you to be kind to your children."
As soon as this voice appeared, the aquiline nose named Archie also stopped moving and quickly turned around to look.
As he turned around, Archie had already forced a smile on his face.
It seems that this woman has a much higher status than him.
"Sister Ye, you don't know something. It's not that I like to hit people. It's actually this bastard that has brought big trouble to our guild!"
Then, Archie told what happened and handed the valuable wallet to the woman.
The woman's name is Nightingale. It is unknown whether this is her real name.
In short, Nightingale is a top figure in the Thieves Guild. She rushed here from the headquarters this time because she was worried that the Thieves Guild in Nanping would commit trouble at this juncture, causing the Thieves Guild to suffer a big disaster.
Nightingale is a person who has seen the world. She looked at the wallet in her hand and her expression turned very ugly for a moment.
"This kind of workmanship can only be made by royal craftsmen, but"
Nightingale was a little undecided. If we put aside the gold threads, the workmanship was indeed at the level of palace craftsmen. However, the gold threads sewn on later were quite rudimentary and did not look like the same level at all.
Her judgment was indeed very accurate. This wallet was given to Muchuan by Princess Changle.
Li Lizhi claimed that she sewed it herself, but in fact she just sewed a pattern with gold thread on the original basis.
Nightingale frowned. She looked at the gold pattern and vaguely realized that it seemed to be a word.
"Sister Ye, please don't scare me. Do you mean that we stole members of the royal family?"
Archie was so frightened that his face turned green.
If you steal a member of the royal family, if you make the emperor angry, not only their Nanping branch, but the entire thieves guild will probably be uprooted!
