The Government Official quickly brought up the found bundle. It was a brown coarse cloth wrap, looking like the sack commonly used by traveling monks, and the official carried it with ease, indicative that its weight was not proportional to its size.
Liu Pinrang ordered the Government Official to place the cloth wrap under the shed, and everyone gathered around. Ran Yan initially didn't want to meddle, but ultimately, she couldn't suppress her curiosity about the case and joined the crowd.
"Open it and take a look!" Liu Pinrang said.
The Government Official squatted down and began to untie the straps, and everyone held their breath, for the contents of the bundle might provide them with ample clues.
Ran Yan watched the package without even blinking.
As the bundle was unwrapped, the contents came as a surprise to everyone—on top of the brown coarse cloth lay a large bunch of jade orchid flowers, still dotted with dew!
