Another treasure?
Upon hearing Yan Guilai's words, although the crowd was still skeptical, the twelve patrols, especially the patrol captain, were already convinced.
From the two jade palm-leaf fans, they were certain of Yan Guilai's identity. Although they weren't too sure, they were certain that he was a prince. There was no way he could run away from that.
Only a descendant of the Great Chu royalty could casually give two such treasures to two girls from the slums that he had just met.
Now, since the facts had already proven that he had indeed given away treasures, what was so strange about giving away another one to sell for money?
Coldly looking at the boss of the bun shop, the patrol captain said: "You even gave him a treasure? What treasure is it? "
Faced with the patrol captain's question, Yan Guilai couldn't help but complain inwardly. This bun shop was just a small shop that faced the street. It was very small, so how could it have any treasures?
As his eyes quickly scanned the shop, Yan Guilai's eyes couldn't help but light up. He pointed at the bronze incense burner in front of the shrine inside the bun shop and said, "It can't be wrong … It's that incense burner!"
Upon hearing Yan Guilai's words, the fat boss was so angry that he laughed and said, "Kid, this incense burner … I've placed it here for decades. Everyone on this street can testify. Are you sure it's yours?"
Faced with the fat boss's words, the surrounding crowd nodded in agreement. Indeed … everyone was too familiar with the shrine and the incense burner. They had been there since the bun shop opened.
Amidst the hubbub, Yan Guilai's expression didn't change and his heart didn't skip a beat. He said coldly, "Are you sure that incense burner is the one you saw before?"
This …
Upon hearing Yan Guilai's words, everyone focused their eyes and looked at the incense burner.
As a bun shop, the most important thing was to pay attention to hygiene. Therefore … even the incense burner had to be cleaned daily.
In addition, the boss of the bun shop made meat buns, so his hands were covered in grease. After many years of cleaning, the bronze incense burner actually faintly emitted a layer of warm luster.
If one didn't look at it carefully, it wouldn't be very eye-catching. But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it wasn't simple. Ah, there was a layer of luster. It really looked like a treasure light!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yan Gui Lai opened his mouth again, "Are you sure that this incense burner is the one that you saw every day?"
This …
In the face of Yan Guilai's inquiry, everyone became more and more hesitant.
Although the shape was similar, the previous incense burner didn't seem so moist, and the shape wasn't as elegant.
Walking around the counter, Yan Guilai walked into the steamed bun shop and gently picked up the incense burner in front of the altar.
Xiao Chen circulated the wood attributed energy in his body and sent it into the incense burner. Under the stimulation of the wood attributed energy, the incense ashes in the incense burner trembled faintly before returning to normal.
Were they framing him?
That's right. Since the fat boss wanted to take advantage of him, how could Yan Guilai spoil him?
Previously, hadn't he framed Ya Fu and Ya Xin for stealing his steamed buns and hiding them in his clothes so that he could take off their clothes to check?
Very well … Since he had dared to do such a thing, Yan Guilai would dare to do the same.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a tooth for a tooth … This was called retribution for kindness and retribution for evil!
After dispersing the incense ashes, Yan Guilai was about to withdraw his wood attributed energy when he suddenly frowned. There seemed to be many array symbols and inscriptions on the inner walls of the incense burner. This incense burner … wasn't simple!
Yan Guilai's eyes lit up as he placed the incense burner on the wooden table in the steamed bun shop. Then, he told the captain, "Come and check if this so-called incense burner is a real one!"
The captain glanced at the fat boss and then at Yan Guilai before nodding his head. He walked over to the wooden table and gently picked up the incense burner to examine it carefully.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything wrong with it even after looking at it for a long time.
The captain raised his head blankly and looked at Yan Guilai. "This … does seem to be an incense burner. There's nothing wrong with it, right?"
The fat boss said with a long face, "I have placed this incense burner here for decades. Everyone can help me prove that he is framing me! He is framing me!"
In an instant, everyone turned to look at Yan Guilai. Indeed … Although this incense burner did look a little different, in reality, although no one could prove that this incense burner was the original one, no one could prove that this incense burner wasn't the original one either.
Under everyone's gaze, Yan Guilai said, "I can't be bothered to explain. Someone go to the shop next door and bring their incense burner here. Everything will be clear after a comparison."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the captain turned his head and gave a signal with his eyes. Very quickly … a patrol rushed to the shop next door and brought back two incense burners.
The three incense burners were placed side by side. Everyone looked at them carefully. Needless to say, in comparison, the meat bun boss's incense burner was the most special. The surface of the incense burner was covered with a layer of treasure light. It was clearly different from the other incense burners.
Faced with this, the fat boss said, "Everyone knows that I make meat buns. Therefore, my hands are oily all year round. After wiping them for many years, they are naturally brighter."
Faced with the fat boss's explanation, everyone nodded thoughtfully. Indeed … This explanation made sense. Even Yan Guilai couldn't refute it.
Yan Guilai continued calmly, "Very good. No wonder you dare to commit such crimes. It seems that … you are very eloquent. You can turn white into black."
Glancing at Yan Guilai proudly, the fat boss said, "Facts speak louder than words. I have a clear conscience. Naturally, my eloquence won't be hindered."
Nodding, Yan Guilai turned his head and said to the captain, "Now … pour out the incense ash from these three incense burners …"
Pour out the incense ash?
Stunned, they looked at Yan Guilai. Although they didn't know why he was doing this, since he said so, there must be a reason. They weren't in a hurry to ask. Let's pour it out first.
While thinking, the captain waved his hand. Three patrols came forward and each took an incense burner. Turning the burner upside down, they shook their arms and poured out the incense ash.
Very quickly, the incense ash in the three incense burners was poured out and piled up on the wooden table. Then … the three patrols retreated and returned to the group.
Looking at the captain, Yan Guilai said, "Now, captain, please take a look for yourself. I believe … the answer is very obvious."
Looking at Yan Guilai doubtfully, the captain curiously walked over and looked at the three incense burners.
With just a slight glance, the captain frowned and angrily raised his head to look at the fat boss.
Facing the captain's angry gaze, the fat boss suddenly panicked. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that there must be some evidence against him.
Looking at the fat boss's nervous expression, Yan Guilai smiled coldly. Then, he walked to the three incense burners and gently put them down. The openings of the incense burners were facing the crowd.
