It was still difficult to make out the discussion, especially with the noises from the street, but Zitka was able to figure out a few things.  The man in the red coat was doing most of the talking, things about how hard it was to do something, how well-protected a certain noble was, and how he barely managed to keep his life.  The other man was much calmer, usually not commenting except to offer a number, sounding like it was a price for something, and usually setting off another tirade from the man in red.  If Zitka continued to watch, she'd see that this repeated at least once more, and this time she could hear the man offer ten thousand as a price.
