Looking at the panic-stricken waiter before him.
Jin Xu asked in a gentle voice, "Waiter, don't panic, take your time. What happened?"
The lad was still flustered, his expression now even more animated and exaggerated.
"Taoist, you don't understand. Just after you left this morning, a group of soldiers clad in armor came charging in! Bearing portraits of you three, they demanded that you come out!"
As he spoke, the boy was gesticulating wildly, imitating the soldiers' expressions and gestures.
"And then?"
"Cough, as you know, commoners can't fight against officials. The laws of Great Xia are strict, and we're just a small inn, so we notified the two ladies to come downstairs.
As soon as the ladies came downstairs, those soldiers said that you all hadn't shown a city entry token, nor had you paid the city entry fee.
Now, that's nonsense—residing in the top-floor rooms, how could you lack the funds for the entry fees?"
The waiter expressed his indignation on behalf of Jin Xu.
