Li Fan and Yin Xiaoru were in no hurry to find the owner of the golden Buddha. They sat down in the yard of a restaurant in the town.
It was a small courtyard with three tables inside. Other than Li Fan and Yin Xiaoru, there were three other townspeople sitting at one of the tables.
Li Fan and Yin Xiaoru ordered chicken soup and scrambled eggs. Yin Xiaoru asked when the boss brought the dishes up.
”Boss, why are there so many people dressed as officials in this town?”
”I'm not sure either, but I heard that it was the Jin family who committed the crime.”
The owner was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wiping her oily hands on her apron as she said, ”This Old Jin heard that there is a treasure that belongs to the country and must be turned over. ”These people seem to be from the government. They said that Ole Head had hidden away the national treasure and was captured by these people!”
Yin Xiaoru and Li Fan looked at each other in confusion.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard had no morals anymore? The lord of the Golden Buddha is innocent, they actually tried to harm him?
Yin Xiaoru seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to stand up, but Li Fan held her by the shoulder.
Li Fan smiled as he said to the boss, ”Boss, why is there such a big incident in the town?” ”I just came over from another county to find my uncle, and now that I'm scared, I don't really dare to go!”
”This is quite scary. Whose nephew are you two?”
The boss seemed to be gossiping about something. Li Fan secretly gave Yin Xiaoru a pinch. Yin Xiaoru quickly said, ”Old Zhao's family!”
”Oh, it's rare to see a nephew with such spirit in Old Zhao's family.”
Flying Flower Town wasn't particularly big, so many people in the town knew each other.
”Boss, where did you find out? Is this group of people part of the traps?”
Li Fan specifically asked.
”Last time, the few people from the authorities were eating at my place, so I secretly overheard them chatting.”
The boss lowered his voice. ”I've told you before, do not ever tell anyone else about this.”
After saying that, she went to serve the dishes on the other table. Li Fan and Yin Xiaoru overheard their conversation.
”Old Jin has committed a crime …” ”Don't tell anyone else …”
Well, she said it herself.
”It's a trap.”
Li Fan whispered into Yin Xiaoru's ear, ”That old man should be fine, but I'm afraid that the Jin family has already set up an inescapable net, waiting for you to take the bait.”
”No, I can't rest easy.”
At this moment, Yin Xiaoru seemed to have lost her calm as if she was a bandit, ”I owe Mr. Jin a favor, I can't just let him be!”
”Calm down. Think about the consequences of rashly going there!”
Li Fan reminded Yin Xiaoru, ”Even if you are arrested, it will not help. But you are here, and there is still talk. ”
”I can't sit still...”
