Chapter 570: A Messy Ending
After hearing these words one after another, the adult's face was not looking good.
Jiang Lin and others watched the excitement from the side and then walked over to them. Jiang Lin's attention was diverted to Anliu's shoulder because of the blood. He realized that if he didn't go over, Anliu's blood would be drained out.
"Sir, I think the matter is very clear." Jiang Lin said.
"Prince Jiang, how can you say that when nothing is known yet?" The official said with a stern expression, "Prince Jiang, don't worry. This concerns the reputation of our government office. This matter will not end so easily!"
"That's enough." Jiang Lin wouldn't give him a chance to stall for time. "I've heard everything clearly enough. If you want to find out who the money ended up in, you can do so."
"It's just..." Jiang Lin said, his eyes sweeping over everyone in front of him, "What happens after this has nothing to do with the people. You just need to give them an explanation here."
The gentleman immediately understood what Jiang Lin meant. Jiang Lin just wanted him to promise that the government would eventually give them silver, but where would he get so much money?
This put the gentleman in this situation. He couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have admitted his mistake just now. He should have simply arrested Anliu in the name of impersonating an official.
But now is the time. If he goes against his words, he will lose face in front of the people and will have no prestige in the future.
At this time, the people were still urging them to pay, so the official could only say: "After all the silver is recovered, I will definitely send the money to you."
The people cheered immediately, but the official thought to himself that the money could never be recovered, so they just had to wait.
But even though the adult thought so, he was a little nervous because Jiang Lin was still by his side.
As expected, after the people expressed their joy, Jiang Lin continued, "Then we will wait patiently for good news. I just hope Your Excellency won't make us wait too long. If it takes a year or two, then Your Excellency will..."
Jiang Lin's subsequent words made the people understand that they would no longer cheer and would ask the adults to set a deadline.
This gentleman could only pull with them with a forced smile and try his best to fool them.
In the end, a three-month deadline was set, and the people agreed to it.
Jiang Lin did not participate in it anymore. The matter seemed to be resolved and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Anliu was stopped by the adult when he was about to leave.
"Master." An Feng called out in a low voice when he saw this.
Jiang Lin gave him a look that told him to be patient. He continued to move forward with his men, but he walked very slowly, his ears still listening to the movements behind him.
"This young man is injured. Why don't you come with me inside and let the doctor take a look at him?"
At this time, there were still a few people present. They all felt that there was nothing wrong with the adults' actions, so they did not intervene and just walked on their own.
"No need, thank you, sir. I can go find a doctor myself." Anliu is not stupid. Who would take the initiative to walk into a big pit?
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. It was my people who hurt you, so we should be responsible."
As he said this, the gentleman winked, and the people behind him also received the order, and they were about to suppress the undercurrent and leave.
"Ah!" Anliu shouted, "Sir, don't touch it, don't touch it, it seems like a bone was broken just now."
The noise got so loud that it eventually attracted two or three people to stop.
The people from the government naturally became a little restrained, but this place was only a few steps away from the gate. Anliu looked at the gate that was getting closer and closer, lowering his eyes to hide the ferocity in his eyes.
"What are you doing, sir?"
When Anliu was about to take action, Jiang Lin appeared and called a halt.
"Prince Jiang hasn't left yet?" This gentleman flattered on the surface, but no one knew what he was cursing Jiang Lin in his heart.
"I was about to leave, but seeing that the adults seemed unable to cope with it, I came to see if there was anything I could help with," Jiang Lin said.
"Thank you so much, Prince Jiang. There is no need to trouble you here. Please go back!" Since there were no more people watching, the master ordered them to leave.
"I am the prince!" Anliu almost expressed his misery by crying bitterly.
Before Jiang Lin could say anything, the gentleman stared at Anliu and said, "Sir, what you said is totally unreasonable. I didn't harm you, so why are you asking for help? Could it be that you just..."
"Of course I'm asking for help!" Anliu raised his voice to suppress the others. "It was my appearance today that embarrassed you. You must be unhappy. And yet you insisted on dragging me away regardless of my wishes. Just think about what you're going to do!"
"You are wrong. I want to thank you today. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have known that my people had done something wrong." The adult's words sounded very high-sounding.
Anliu was no pushover either. He caught sight of some people still waiting to see the excitement, and so he spoke even more enthusiastically, "Sir, I want to thank you on behalf of the people. If you want to thank me, why not release me now? Someone is waiting for me at home."
"Young master's injury needs urgent treatment!" The gentleman looked concerned and acted quite seriously.
"Why don't I send this young man back? I wonder where he lives. Is it on our way?" Jiang Lin interjected.
Anliu quickly made up a place, and Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It happens to be on the way. Well, I have a doctor at home, so let me take you back."
"Thank you, Prince!" Anliu responded without stopping for a moment.
The cooperation between the two was seamless. The person holding Anliu didn't even know how Anliu used his strength before he broke free.
The moment Anliu was free, Anfeng quickly pulled the person to their side, and then said goodbye to the adult very smoothly and naturally.
In this way, the few people were completely separated, and the people in front of the yamen also dispersed.
"Sir, are you letting him go just like that?"
How could they remain calm after being tricked like this?
But what else could they do? A high-ranking official could crush someone so powerful that even their superiors didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Lin.
In this case, we can only find an official higher than Jiang Lin to suppress it.
Jiang Lin didn't understand this adult's tricks, but that didn't stop him from not being afraid of anyone.
At this time, they were sitting in the carriage, only talking about Anliu's injuries.
"I didn't expect the wound to be so deep!" The undercurrent could not be seen, but he touched it and felt deep into the wound.
"Can't you change direction?" An Feng frowned and said, "Why bother to face this blow?"
"Acting is about acting until even yourself believe it." Anliu said carelessly, but the next moment he let out a cry of pain.
"Master, please be gentle." Anliu begged for mercy.
"The pain seems more real." Jiang Lin said expressionlessly.
