I just went out with Zhang Heng to investigate the slave girl, and I personally experienced how chaotic the place was.
She was walking in the street when the purse she was holding was snatched away.
After that, the guy rushed directly into the crowd, and let the little slave shout behind him. The passers-by around him were indifferent, just like they didn't see the crime in front of them. Everyone's face was filled with numbness and indifference.
In the end, the slave had to stop shouting and stood on the side of the street angrily. Then she asked Zhang Heng, who was watching with her, "why don't you stop him?"
Zhang Heng said, "it doesn't contain much money?"
There is a division of labor between them when they go out. Of course, Zhang Heng put valuables and gold coins on himself, while the little slave's purse contained change, about thirty sestes.
"But that's also our money," said the slave. Besides losing money, she was also worried about Zhang Heng's next work. It was still in the daytime. The public security here was so bad, and it was unimaginable at night.
At this time, however, Zhang Hengyou said, "it's not impossible for you to get the money back."
"People are running out of shadow, how can you still want it?" The little slave opened her eyes wide.
"The man who stole your money ran away, but his accomplice is still there." Zhang Heng said, "in general, this kind of money robbers are gang criminals, with clear division of labor. There are those who choose targets, those who start to rob money, and those who pretend to be passers-by, but they can come to support at any time when they need help."
Zhang Heng said while pointing a small boy in the crowd who was only 11 or 12 years old, "Hey, you, don't run."
The latter saw Zhang Heng pointing at him, his face suddenly showed a flustered color, especially heard the word "don't run". Without any hesitation, he turned and ran. However, he was still a step late, and he didn't know how the other party suddenly appeared behind him in such a short time.
As soon as his front foot took half a step, his back foot was lifted from the ground.
However, he didn't give in and wanted to take off his clothes and run away naked. But Zhang Heng couldn't be deceived by his little trick. The latter tied a knot on his neck with the clothes he took off. When he tried to run again, his throat became tighter and tighter, and his breathing became more and more difficult.
"Where are your friends? Take us to meet them." Zhang Heng light way.
However, he soon found that his question seemed to be in vain, because maybe he saw his partner in charge of support being arrested, and the guy who robbed the little slave's purse turned back, and he was standing nearby with two other partners.
The oldest of them is estimated to be about 16 years old, while the youngest looks like only 10 years old. At this moment, they are all carrying weapons, which makes the little slave look a little frightened.
"Let the skinny monkey go." The young man who robbed money said in a high voice that he was also the oldest in the group.
"Yes, pay back the money you took from us first." Zhang Heng said calmly.
"What are you thinking? We're not negotiating with you. If you don't do it, we'll make you look good!" The young man who robbed the money raised the dagger in his hand and said fiercely.
Little slave hiding behind Zhang Heng, smell speech also poked out his head, "you are too bold, actually on the street robbery, was seen to threaten the victims, not afraid we tell the patrol?"
"It's no use telling the patrol. They can't take care of this place." The young man who robbed money sneered, "if you know your face, you'd better get rid of it. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
"Oh, really, what are you going to do?" As Zhang Heng said, he kicked the boy's calf and let him kneel down on the ground. The boy who robbed money regarded it as a provocation to them. Seeing this, he couldn't stand it any longer and rushed up with a roar of dagger.
It's a pity that their fighting skills are not as skilled as stealing money. In addition to their age, their combat effectiveness is limited, and they pick the wrong opponent. Zhang Heng almost doesn't have much effort to put them all on the ground. In the process, he doesn't even move his weapons.
After that, he squatted down, searched the body of the boy who robbed the money, pulled out the slave's purse from the latter's arms, and returned it to the original owner, "count it, is it less?"
The little slave happily took the money bag and made a face at the young people who were beaten to the ground. She counted the copper coins in it and said to Zhang Heng, "it's all here."
But the smile on her face didn't last long, and soon froze there.
Because then another group of figures appeared on the street.
Before, those numb passers-by didn't respond to her cry, as if they were indifferent to everything around them. But this time, they moved very fast. They saw that the group of people coming here were busy dodging to one side. The slow ones were pushed to the ground, and they didn't dare to complain. They soon stood up and left .
Zhang Heng noticed that the young man who robbed money also had a look of fear in his eyes when he saw the gang."What's the matter? Is there anyone here who needs help?" The head of a tall, slightly feminine looking Jewish man asked, his elongated voice with a trace of frivolity.
"No, nothing." The boy who robbed the money bowed his head and said, "we are just playing."
"For fun?" The feminine looking Jewish man laughed, "tell me about you. If you don't do business all day long, you'll know to play everywhere. Have you got all the money this week? Tonight is the deadline."
"We're trying to figure it out."
"Are you trying to raise money, or are you trying to lie about it?" The feminine looking Jewish man asked, "don't say I didn't remind you, but I've heard that you robbed several fat sheep recently. I hope you can satisfy the iron handcuffs with the numbers you put out at that time, otherwise you know what will happen. As for you..."
The black tailed snake moved his eyes to Zhang Heng and said with a smile, "you hurt our people. What do you say to do?"
Unlike the money grabbing teenagers, the seven men in front of them are adults, and their weapons look more fierce, including boxers and hammers full of nails. Some of them even have some combat experience, and have worked as underground gladiators or bodyguards.
Seeing this, the slave said, "what should I do? Will those who run away inform the patrol?"
"It's impossible. Besides, I'm a member of the patrol team. Although I haven't reported it yet, there's no problem for me to enter the company a few hours in advance." Zhang Heng is still in a relaxed manner. He patted the young man on the cheek and told him, "be honest. I have some questions to ask you, but I have to deal with the things over there first."
