With this reprieve, they had a buffer when seeking their next livelihood.
They immediately accepted the Innkeeper's orders.
Hurriedly running towards the outside.
Meanwhile, the Innkeeper quickly rushed to a spot within the inn to gather all the gold and silver stored there. It was the wealth he had accumulated over his lifetime.
Although it wasn't a tremendous amount, it was enough to ensure a carefree life for his family for the second half of their lives.
As for the inn?
The Innkeeper was well aware that if it caught the Magistrate's attention, not only would the inn be doomed, but his life might be at stake as well! Even if he was reluctant to give up his business, he had no choice but to cut his losses, as if throwing his inn to the dogs.
In this emergency, he did not care that his actions were witnessed by Fan Wu and the others.
Or perhaps, subconsciously, he believed that Fan Wu and his companions were good people.
