Chapter 15 Too much talk
"Then you should be careful. I'll wait for you at the ox cart." Mrs. Sheng shook Sheng Wanqiu's hand.

After getting Mrs. Sheng's approval, Sheng Wanqiu ran out directly.

She first found a group of little beggars, about a dozen of them, all looking at her eagerly.

The girl first gave each of them a steamed bun and asked them to help find a person wearing black shoes with green leaves embroidered on the heels, and who had a black mole on his eyebrow.

As long as you can successfully provide clues and find this person, you will be rewarded with ten meat buns.

The little beggars were tempted, as this was a piece of meat buns that fell from the sky, and they were good at finding people.

They squat in the corner every day, watching the people coming and going. Observing their words and expressions is not difficult for them, especially since they are small in stature, and the thing they observe the most is people's shoes.

After quickly finishing the multi-grain steamed bread in their hands, the little beggars immediately went their separate ways.

Sheng Wanqiu sat at a tea stall, leisurely eating the multi-grain steamed buns she had just bought from a roadside vendor, waiting for news.

This is the Beggars' Sect!

It would be a waste not to use it. Otherwise, why would people in martial arts books all want to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect? They have the widest connections and are absolutely first-class at getting information.

Soon there was some clue. A little beggar who looked even shorter than her came running back, panting.

"Sister, there are several people wearing those shoes you mentioned, and they are all in the City God Temple over there!"

It turned out that they were in the same group, because Sheng Wanqiu had thought of it before. So many people being robbed at the same time could not be done by one person, and she had predicted it right.

"Thank you, can you take me there?"

"When I finish my work, I'll take you to buy meat buns!" Sheng Wanqiu reached out and touched the little beggar's dark face.

The little beggar's ears turned red instantly. No one had ever touched his face so gently before, and he almost couldn't react.

"I'll take my sister there right now!" The little beggar said and ran away, with Sheng Wanqiu following closely behind.

Soon the two arrived at the so-called City God Temple. It was a dilapidated temple with all the tiles on the roof fallen off and half of the wall collapsed. It looked like it was about to collapse.

"Sister, they seem to be bad guys and they have knives in their hands!" The little beggar followed behind Sheng Wanqiu and reminded her.

At this moment, Sheng Wanqiu was lying beside the half-collapsed wall, looking inside quietly.

There were about five people inside, and they didn't look like they were from Dai Viet because their beards seemed to be yellow and covered by their hair. I couldn't tell the difference for the time being.

"You wait outside, don't go in, understand?"

"Be good and wait for your sister to come out and take you to buy meat buns!"

Sheng Wanqiu gently instructed the little beggar, then quickly came to the half-collapsed pillar and carefully observed the people inside.

What are you talking about, you bastard? It's just a babble, a feeling of a normal life.

Sheng Wanqiu picked up a few small stones from the ground, shook them in her hand, raised her wrist and fired them directly.

This was the hidden weapon firing that she had learned at the base before. She got first place in the exam, but people were grudge against her!

"Ah!" After four consecutive screams, four of the five people fell to the ground, and the third one was holding a knife, looking at the door in horror.

"Who is it? Don't play tricks on me!"

"It's you, my aunt! You were the one who stole the purse!" Sheng Wanqiu jumped out and glared at the young man with a mole on his brow. "You're not from Dai Yue, are you? What were you all talking about?"

"Stealing things from ordinary people is a complete loss of morality!"

"If you have the guts, go steal from the national treasury! There's plenty of money in the treasury, and the emperor can't spend it all anyway, so just go and help him spend some." The corner of the mouth of the person who was peeking twitched. Go steal from the national treasury? How dare you!
Lingyi also tried to hold back his laughter. This little girl was really interesting. She had great skills and her words were interesting.

However, something even more interesting happened. Lu Yu and his servant watched helplessly as Sheng Wanqiu subdued the remaining man and stripped him of his clothes until he was left with only his underpants.

Of course, the other four men who fainted were no exception. They were all stripped, and then their mouths were all gagged. They were all tied to pillars with hemp ropes.

It's early spring now, and it looks quite cold with the upper body naked.

"It seems like you are not good people. Whether you can survive or not is up to fate!"

Sheng Wanqiu looked at the dozen or so money bags she had released, found the one that belonged to Mrs. Sheng, and put it in her pocket.

She also found about two coins of silver on the other two people and took that away. She also threw the five knives on the ground into the dry well in the yard before leaving.

Lu Yu and his servant were stunned. Is this girl planning to rob her fellow thieves?
After Sheng Wanqiu walked away, the two of them jumped down from the tree and found a letter in the shoes of the five unconscious people.

"Master, how should we deal with these people?" Lingyi asked.

"Didn't you just hear it? Leave it to fate!" Lu Yu sneered. If they didn't freeze to death, they would starve to death. Ordinary people would not come to this place.

"Oh!" Lingyi nodded and followed Lu Yu.

At this moment, Sheng Wanqiu and the little beggar had already bought all the buns. She also bought a dozen more and handed them to the little beggar.

"This is a reward for you. Take the other bag to them and thank them for me."

"Thank you for today, see you again if we have the chance!" Sheng Wanqiu waved goodbye to the little beggar.

"Thank you, sister!" The little beggar bowed politely.

"Go back quickly, I'm leaving too, goodbye!" Sheng Wanqiu smiled back at the little beggar and trotted away.

The little beggar stared at her back until she disappeared, then he lowered his head dejectedly, tightly holding the steaming bun in his hand.

Sheng Wanqiu is not a greedy person. These money bags are not hers, so she cannot take them, unless of course she encounters corrupt officials!
Presumably, those whose purses were stolen have already reported the matter to the police, because there were all kinds of people among them. To save trouble, Sheng Wanqiu used a piece of rag to hold the remaining dozen or so purses and stuffed them under the stone lions at the entrance when passing by the yamen.

There was no surveillance these days, so he shouldn't be exposed. After stuffing the stuffing in, he picked up a stone and directly hit the big drum at the door.

She stood on the street corner and watched the people in the yamen discover the money bag under the stone lion before turning around and leaving.

"Master, who do you say she is?"

"You said she loves money, but she threw so much silver directly back to the government office."

"You said she doesn't love money, right? But for a small purse, she even caught up with the person who stole the money. It's quite puzzling, isn't it?"

Lingyi continued to chatter on and on.

"You talk too much today!" Lu Yu glanced at him, and Lingyi immediately shut up.
