As he got closer and closer, the thief got up again, and Zhang Yang could see his face clearly.
He is in his forties, has a square face, a sloppy beard, and his face is red and swollen from being beaten. He is wearing a shabby work clothes and yellow rubber shoes, with a pleading look on his face.
Regardless of his dress or appearance, he is undoubtedly an honest and responsible person, and it is difficult to associate him with a thief.
It even made Zhang Yang wonder if these scammers had arrested the wrong person.
"I don't think he sheds tears until he sees the coffin."
The middle-aged woman stepped forward fiercely, grabbed the thief by the hair, slapped him hard in the face and said, "Say it or not. If you don't tell me, I will send you to the police station."
It seems that they were still wary just now. After all, they are liars and have a natural fear of getting into trouble, so they just want to get their money back and give the thief a good beating.
However, the thief in front of him had been severely beaten, but he still refused to tell the whereabouts of the money. He had no choice but to threaten to send him to the police.
"No, please, please don't send me to the public security bureau." The thief's face was full of fear and he begged bitterly.
"Then tell me quickly, where is the money hidden? Otherwise, if we send you in, we can get the money back, and we will sentence you to ten or eight years."
When the middle-aged woman saw that this trick had worked, her plump face showed pride and her tone increased.
"I...really lost it. Give me some time and I promise to return it to you in the future." The thief obviously lacked confidence and felt that he didn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Through these words, Zhang Yang can judge that this thief is definitely not a repeat offender, and it may even be his first time stealing money.
You should know that the other party did not find the stolen goods and there was no evidence that he stole the money.
He can refuse to admit it at all. Anyway, he has made up his mind and refuses to take out the money.
Furthermore, most habitual criminals are not afraid of getting into trouble. He was so afraid that he was not so afraid of being beaten just now.
Not to mention a prison sentence for stealing this little money, he would have been sent to a forced labor camp for ten and a half months and then released. How could he be threatened by this middle-aged woman?
"Hurry up and take it out, don't fuck your mother-in-law."
boom!
The fourth child couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed up and kicked him in the chest again, knocking him to the ground again and whining non-stop.
The thief kept rolling on the ground, and the facial features on his red and swollen face were twisted together in pain, which showed how vicious the fourth child's kick was.
However, he refused to speak, which showed that he had made up his mind not to tell where the money was hidden.
"Fourth brother, don't fight. It won't be good if someone is killed. I think it's better to send him to the public security bureau." Uncle Hua, the fortune teller, shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Uncle Hua, we have no evidence for the so-called catching thieves and stolen goods. How can the police believe us?"
The fourth child thought the same as Zhang Yang. He just threatened him and had no intention of sending him to the public security bureau.
"Then what do you think we should do? Do we want to give up our hard-earned money?" the middle-aged woman interjected.
"We are so unlucky, who let us encounter such a tough problem that is not afraid of death."
The fourth child was a little helpless, and then he continued with a fierce look on his face: "But we can't let him off lightly. I'll cut off a few of his fingers so that he can never be a thief again."
After he finished speaking, he took out a sharp dagger from his waist and walked towards the thief with a sinister smile on his face.
"No, please..." In addition to pleading in fear, the thief still refused to tell where the money was hidden, making Zhang Yang even more curious.
"Stop!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but shouted, walked over and said.
In fact, he wasn't very far away in the first place. The main reason was that the alley was hidden, and there were only a few houses in there with their doors locked.
Coupled with their eagerness for money, the three scammers focused their energy on the thief, so they did not notice that Zhang Yang and Shen Xue had arrived at the entrance of the alley.
"TMD, we haven't settled the score with you yet, how dare you come to meddle in other people's business?"
Uncle Hua's old face began to twist, his eyes seemed to burst out with angry flames, and he sneered.
It's no wonder that, in his opinion, so many things would not have happened without Zhang Yang.
During the fortune telling just now, it was obvious that the situation was under control, and the onlookers believed in themselves, and it was entirely possible to make a huge fortune.
However, with the appearance of Zhang Yang, not only did he not make any money, but even his wallet was stolen by the thief in front of him, so it was natural to put all these accounts on his head.
Zhang Yang doesn't look strong, let alone the fourth child. Even Uncle Hua thinks he can knock him down easily.
It was only when someone took out the phone to call the police just now that the two of them had to leave quickly. Now he actually came to find them, just in time to clean up together, Uncle Hua thought to himself.
"Why do you want to settle a score with me?" Zhang Yang said with an innocent look on purpose.
"It's you who ruined our good deeds." Uncle Hua gritted his teeth.
"I ruined your good deeds? I kindly reminded you that your wallet was stolen, but you actually said that I ruined your good deeds?"
…
Uncle Hua thought to himself, it was indeed him who reminded him that his wallet was stolen. Why did he become so angry at that time? He was the one who panicked first and then exposed himself!
"Don't listen to her wordy words. If he hadn't caused trouble, so many things wouldn't have happened." The middle-aged woman left the thief behind and ran over, breathing heavily.
"Fourth, teach him a lesson." Uncle Hua ordered.
It seems that the three people have a clear division of labor. Uncle Hua is the fortune teller, while the middle-aged woman is the fortune teller. The fourth child is not only the fortune teller, but also a thug.
call!
Without saying a word, the fourth child suddenly jumped up and kicked Zhang Yang in the chest.
It seems that he has long been accustomed to this sneak attack. It is no wonder that it is obviously unrealistic to expect the liar to compete openly and openly like a martial arts contest.
Although his posture is that of a street fight, he is also fast and fierce, and he obviously has two brushes.
Zhang Yang lazily struggled with such a person. When his foot hit his chest, he dodged the kick slightly.
The fourth child didn't expect that the sneak attack would fail. Under the influence of inertia, he couldn't hold his feet back. He staggered and almost fell down.
When he stood firm and turned around, Zhang Yang was already in front of him, punched him in the face, and he flew away.
"You actually have two attacks, look at me recruiting the ghosts from the underworld to deal with you." Uncle Hua saw that the fourth man was knocked down with just one move. He was obviously no match for Zhang Yang, and he said with surprise on his thin face.
After saying that, he opened the broken bag in a serious manner, took out a wooden sword from inside, and picked up a yellow talisman with the tip of the sword.
With a strong wave in the air, a gorgeous sword flower danced out.
Bang!
The talisman suddenly burned, and sparks flew out as the wooden sword danced, which was very frightening.
"Brother, is he really good at magic?" Seeing this scene, Shen Xue pulled Zhang Yang's arm tightly and said with a nervous expression on her pretty face.
When Zhang Yang treated her leg on the train, he used grafting to transfer the congestion to the cactus, which surprised her and impressed her.
At this time, seeing that Uncle Hua actually used the same technique, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid of him.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a little trick." Zhang Yang smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
He saw Uncle Hua quietly winking at the middle-aged woman and the fourth child, and knew that this was a trick on his part, so he asked the two companions to leave quickly, which was also a delaying tactic.
As for the burning of the talisman and seal, it should be because flammable substances such as phosphorus are added to it and it burns in the air. Those who don't know can easily be fooled.
Now that he was playing with this hand, Zhang Yang also became interested. He raised his arm and a beige talisman flashed in his hand, burning instantly with light blue flames.
"Hey! So we are the same people?"
Uncle Hua's old face was stunned, and then his face changed into a smile, and his expression instantly became like meeting an old friend.
Of course, he couldn't have thought that Zhang Yang was a talisman doctor, but just regarded him as a street person like himself who made a living by pretending to be a god.
No wonder he would make things difficult for himself. It was possible that the three of them had robbed his territory and business, so they would come out to cause trouble and make it difficult for him to survive.
I thought that this technique was better than my own, wouldn't I be afraid of burning my hands when I played like this?
It seems that I still have to continue to work hard to learn more advanced things...
"Who is the same as you? It's the presence of liars like you that will make people no longer believe in the magic of divination and fortune-telling."
Zhang Yang knew what he was thinking and scolded with a bit of laughter and tears.
"Isn't it just that your skills are better? What's so cool about it? How about making a living by pretending to be a ghost?"
Uncle Hua's thin face turned red, then turned disdainful, and rushed forward brandishing his wooden sword.
Zhang Yang waved his arm, and the talisman turned into a ball of fire and rushed towards Uncle Hua.
boom!
The fireball hit his chest and exploded and burned instantly.
ah!
Uncle Hua let out a scream, threw the wooden sword away, and beat his chest desperately.
It wasn't the fireball that burned him, but more of the surprise and fear that made him scream so loudly.
Zhang Yang is not worthy of being cruel to such a liar, just to teach him a lesson.
"Uncle Hua, are you okay?"
The fourth child and the middle-aged woman had already ran more than ten meters away. When they heard his screams, they immediately turned back and helped him put out the flames and asked at the same time.
"Get out now. If I see you pretending to be a fool again, I will never let you go."
"We'll see, I won't let you go."
Every time a bad guy leaves, he always says this to save some face for himself, and Uncle Hua is no exception. After saying this, he takes the lead and runs away in embarrassment.
Zhang Yang and Xiaoxue walked up to the thief. He was seriously injured. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Blood was flowing out of his mouth. He made painful *sounds at the slightest movement.
"You are still willing to sacrifice your life rather than your wealth." Zhang Yang knelt down and said teasingly.
When a person is so desperate for money, even if he is a thief, it makes people feel very pitiful.
Who would make such a choice if they didn't really need money?
The thief glanced at him and then at Xiaoxue. He didn't say anything, but struggled to stand up and staggered out of the alley despite the pain.
After taking just a few steps, he fell again with a thud, twisting in pain.
"You have three broken ribs. You must hurry up and go to the hospital."
Zhang Yang walked over, touched his ribs and continued: "I'll take you to the hospital and take out the stolen money. This can be considered retribution." (To be continued)
