Li Sui drove the horse cart slowly through a secluded alley, and right behind her were two people, one a bearded thin man, and the other Li Huowang, who had changed into a new set of clothes.
The pickpocket who liked to slice open others' pouches was Li Huowang's target.
As the horse cart jostled along, a grapefruit-sized package tumbled from the back of the carriage, instantly attracting the beady-eyed thin man with the flash of silver within.
"Giddy up!" With a snap of the reins, the horse cart Li Sui was driving picked up speed, and the floral cloth package tumbled more violently until it eventually fell to the ground, spilling its silver fragments.
As Li Sui's horse cart sped away, Li Huowang, who had been standing at the forefront, immediately rushed over and picked up the package of silver.
He looked around, then gestured to the fixated thin man with a soft hiss, whispering, "Shh! Don't make a sound, let's go over there to split the loot. Half the silver for each of us!"
