Chapter 568: Trouble in front of the Yamen
After Anliu set foot on the road to the yamen, he did not notice that everyone had an indescribable expression on their faces, and then they all burst into laughter at the same time.
Of course, these undercurrents are unknown.
In order to make himself look more like an ordinary citizen, Anliu asked Qin Xiangnuan to help him put on some makeup.
Anliu could have paid someone to do this, but he felt that no one could perform better than him, so he just paid some spectators.
After arriving at the yamen, Anliu began to perform with great passion and even received cheers from the crowd.
When the officials pushed the door open, they saw a group of people gathering to cause trouble, so they scolded them loudly and wanted to drive them away.
"Sir..." Anliu shouted, "I came here to thank you. How could you beat us without any reason?"
"Is Anliu's performance too exaggerated?" Several people who followed Anliu out to watch the fun couldn't help but say this.
"It's better to be a little exaggerated. People around here love to hear stories like this. Look how excited the people around here are."
Most of the people were hired by Undercurrent, so they naturally sided with Undercurrent, which is why they were so enthusiastic.
"Sir, you can't be so indiscriminate! You are wrongly accusing a good person."
"Yes, sir, he came to thank you. You can't let the people feel disappointed!"
Such shouting made the officials take a few steps back. Then their eyes met, and one of them ran back to report the news.
Not long after, while the crowd was still agitated, a few more people in official uniforms came out.
"Who among you said you wanted to thank us? What's the point?"
After hearing this, Anliu held up the thick letter and said, "Sir, it's me. I'm here. I want to thank you for saving us yesterday!"
The noise was too chaotic, but the undercurrent was obvious enough to attract the attention of officials.
"Quiet! All of you, be quiet!"
"Stop making any noise. Send someone out to talk to us." There was no other way. The officials could only try to shout louder than them.
Anliu raised his hand and made a gesture that the officials could not understand, and the crowd gradually quieted down.
At this time, Anliu also had the opportunity to walk up to the person who seemed to be the leader.
"You're the one who came to thank me?"
Anliu nodded vigorously when he heard this, and his hands holding the letter were shaking. The official told him to relax and not get too excited.
"Sir! You are such good people!" Anliu said with tears in his eyes.
The officials looked at each other in bewilderment, but it was undeniable that they were also happy in their hearts. No one disliked the feeling of being praised.
"Haha." The official laughed a few times, and then asked what the undercurrent was about.
Anliu cleared his throat and then read aloud from the letter.
The sudden sound startled the officials.
The people hiding in the distance almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
What Anliu said at the beginning was quite normal, but the latter part was just putting a tall hat on the government officials. The smiles on their faces had gradually disappeared, and then they exchanged glances with each other.
"Did you do this?"
"I have not received such an order?"
"Did your Excellency give so much silver?"
"Are you hiding this from us?"
"This can't be true, can it?"
The officials had different thoughts, but because the undercurrent had caused such a big commotion, more people had gathered here. Now they absolutely could not deny in front of the undercurrent that these rescue efforts were not done by them.
However, they could not admit it to their faces because they had heard some whispers.
"Do you know where this person lives? Why did they receive money from the government?"
"I've never seen this person before, so he's definitely not from our area. But, are the authorities treating him differently?"
"Is it possible that someone has embezzled the money?"
"That's what I thought! According to what this guy said, the money he gave was quite a lot. It's not surprising that these people swallowed it all."
"But this is so unfair. Why do they have money and we don't?"
"that is!"
As more and more voices of dissatisfaction emerged among the crowd, the officials could no longer hold back.
"Don't read it anymore!" Some more perceptive people realized that the undercurrent could not be allowed to continue, so they wanted to take more things from the undercurrent.
Unexpectedly, the man missed and was a little confused for a moment.
Then the man reacted and called on others to catch the undercurrent together.
But the other people disagreed!
"Let him continue talking. You officials only oppress the people. Return our money!"
There is always strength in numbers. With an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth, Anliu avoided every approach of the government officials under the cover of the common people and his own light body.
However, in an instant, Anliu's eyes became sharp, and he noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone had drawn a sword.
In the blink of an eye, Anliu... was hit by a sword on the shoulder.
At that moment, the people watching from afar were about to step forward, but then they stopped where they were because they realized that the undercurrent was intentional.
With Anliu's skills, it is impossible for him to avoid this attack. He is fully capable of ensuring the safety of the people while also avoiding it himself.
But in fact, Anliu did not hide on purpose. His idea was simple. He could not let others find out that he was not a real citizen, otherwise everything he did this morning would be in vain.
But at this moment Anliu forgot that what he said would be false once the government officials investigated. They just needed to deceive some people, and Anliu had already done it.
The sight of blood in the crowd inevitably made everyone a little panicked. The people stopped shouting and screaming. They were so shocked and confused that they lost all movement.
The officials were also a little at a loss, but after all, they were in front of the yamen, so they soon took action.
The people, who were already in a state of panic, saw that the government officials were trying to forcefully pull the undercurrent away, and they didn't know where they got the courage to stop them.
Anliu knew that he could not be caught, otherwise it would be difficult to get out, but there was no good way to escape at this time.
At this moment, several voices appeared behind them.
Jiang Lin suppressed his aura and walked over slowly.
"Why are you making such a commotion in front of the government office so early in the morning?" Jiang Lin asked with a cold glance at them.
Anliu had not expected Jiang Lin to appear, and he almost shouted "Master" just now. Fortunately, Anfeng glanced at him and shook his head, so he stopped talking.
"Jiang...meetings to Prince Jiang!"
One good thing about the capital is that people who hold high positions in the capital are known by many people in many places, and it is particularly easy to get things done with a familiar face.
"I ask you, why are you making such a fuss here and becoming a demeanor?"
