Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 166: Encountering unruly people on the road, where is the law in Yandi

Goodcon City!
The carriage stopped again on the road to the main city.

Yu Wenli lightly pushed aside the curtains and looked towards both sides of the road with a frown. It seemed that there were quite a few people standing in front.

This is the first time it has been stopped!
Su Beihai, the prefect of Jiakang City, who was riding on the side, also looked a little embarrassed and said quickly:
"Princess, please don't disturb me. Wait for me for a moment!"

Yu Wen Li Qian was also a little helpless. He had heard this sentence several times.

Since we set foot on the highway from the riverside port, the road is wide enough for four horses to run side by side, which is a rare sight even in Korea.

However, as the carriage slowly drove into the main city, the tranquility and smoothness quietly disappeared, replaced by frequent stagnation and congestion.

We stopped and walked along the way!
This time, they were stopped for half an incense stick of time, especially because it was extremely noisy in front.

Yuwen Liqian simply walked out of the carriage to see what was going on.

The maid also helped the princess out of the carriage and stood on the horse-drawn board of the carriage.

Yu Wen Liqian was somewhat surprised by the scene before her.

Just see!
The roads in the main city were crowded with people, some standing and some sitting, almost blocking the entire road.

Bustling!
There were bursts of noise coming from the crowd, mixed with conversations and shouts in various accents, making the street that should have been quiet extremely noisy.

Judging from their attire, they seemed to be from the docks on both sides of the strait. They all looked familiar with each other. They were smoking pipes by the light, and there was a woman holding a child, talking and laughing.

The most eye-catching thing is!
There was an old man in front of the carriage, who fell down in pain, holding his legs and babbling:
"Someone's dead!"

"Oh my god, someone's dead and his leg is broken!"

But no one paid any attention to it, as if they were just treating it as fun.

Yu Wen Li Qian was confused for a moment.

The Korean students in the carriage behind also got out one after another and watched curiously.

I don’t know what happened ahead!
Yu Wen Li Qian looked around and found that more and more people were gathering and surrounding their convoy.

The maid stood by, her face livid, and she was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the scene before her.

In their impression, when the princess travels, there should be ceremonial guards leading the way on both sides of the road, and the people should keep their hands down, with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

However!
The noisy scene before them was completely different from the court etiquette they were familiar with.

What a system!
"Princess, the situation under the rule of King Yan is really chaotic!"

The maid couldn't help but complain in a low voice, her words filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment with Yan.

She even began to worry about the princess's safety and asked in a low voice: "Princess, is it possible that Prince Yan's Mansion wants to do something to us..."

Yuwen Liqian naturally heard the worry in the maid's words, but she did not show any panic.

She was well aware of the alliance between the four countries and Yan, and that nothing would happen in such a public setting.

Yan cannot and will not be so stupid.

That's what really happened today!
Su Beihai stood in the front and said angrily:
"You bunch of unruly people, why don't you make way for me?"

All he got was a sneer. No one responded, no one cursed, and the crowd remained silent.

The road ahead is still blocked.

After a while!
A group of government servants in official uniforms were holding sticks instead of sharp weapons.

Attempts to disperse the crowd had little effect.

Several more teams of fiercely armed soldiers arrived, more than a hundred of them, just blocking the front to maintain order.

Everyone is not afraid!
Under the sun, the situation remained in a stalemate. The officials and soldiers seemed to be used to it and faced each other helplessly.

Su Beihai stood in front with his hands on his hips, spitting and cursing, but it was no use.

More and more people gathered on both sides of the road.

Yu Wen Li Qian was getting more and more confused as to what was going on.

The students behind him were also talking about it.

"Is this Lord Su really the governor of this big city? How come he doesn't act so arrogantly?"

"As expected, poor mountains and bad water breed unruly people, but this Jiakang City doesn't seem to be poor either."

"Yan area is indeed a chaotic place." Su Beihai returned to Yuwen Liqian with sweat all over his forehead, his expression showing a bit of anxiety and helplessness.

He quickly explained to Yuwen Liqian:
"Princess, please be patient. I have notified the five guards at the city gate. They will come soon to clear the road."

Yu Wenliqian's face did not show any anxiety. Instead, she showed great interest in the reason why the crowd gathered.

She asked Su Beihai:

"Master Su, why are these people gathered here?"

Hearing this, Su Beihai couldn't help but sigh, with a look of deep melancholy on his face.

He explained: "These people are members of the Green Gang. Most of them are porters and horsemen at the docks, and most of them are locals."

Yu Wenliqian became even more confused after hearing this, and she asked:
"The Green Gang? Is it some kind of underworld gang? How dare they go against the government!"

Su Beihai shook his head, his tone somewhat complicated:

"If it really is a Jianghu gang, then it's easy to deal with. I can ask the Yanbei Army or the disciples of Zhongnan Mountain to suppress it and see if they dare to be so arrogant again."

"However, the Qing Gang is not a gang, but a non-governmental organization formed by these workers who gathered spontaneously."

Yu Wenli said with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes:

"How dare the people to fight against the government?"

Isn't this rebellion?
But you'll be beheaded!
Su Beihai said with a somewhat sad face:
"That's not so serious. The King of Yan has issued an order not to ban civilian activities. Moreover, all registered citizens in Yan have various identities and organizations, such as the Green Gang and the Duxiang Society. If I'm not careful, I, the prefect, will be in big trouble."

The maid next to Yuwen Liqian said with a mocking look on her face:
"Master Zhang, you are the prefect of Jiakang City. To put it bluntly, you are the great judge. Are you afraid of these unruly people?"

The maid said in a fierce tone: "Just give them three hundred lashes each, and they will behave themselves!"

The lord of such a big city can be a high-ranking official in a region.

In Korea, people like this can be said to clear the roads wherever they go.

As soon as the gavel was slammed, the people in the hall were all shocked.

It is really disgraceful for Su Beihai to be the prefect.

Su Beihai did not get angry after hearing this, and explained with some frustration:
"Miss, you don't know that if I, the prefect, use the criminal law like this today, I'm afraid the councilors in this prefecture will write a letter to the Prince of Yan's mansion tomorrow."

"I'm abusing my power and criticizing the people."

"Moreover, the public opinion accounts for a large part of the annual assessment of political leaders. The Prince of Yan's Palace will also have imperial envoys to privately visit and conduct public opinion surveys. The Green Gang has a large number of people..."

Yu Wenliqian seemed to understand and shook her head.

It's unbelievable!
A group of officials were actually being controlled by the people they ruled. Where is the law and order in Yan?

At this time!
A scream appeared!
It attracted a crowd of onlookers.

It was the old man in front of the carriage who was rolling on the ground, howling like a ghost.

"Killed!"

"I'm going to die. Killing people in the street!"

After hearing this, Su Beihai had no choice but to tell the officials around him: "Pay money and do the job!"

The officials around him seemed to have understood it long ago.

He walked up to the old man, threw down ten taels of silver, and urged:
"Old Li, hurry up and leave. Don't bother the prefect!"

The old man called Lao Li had no intention of getting up, and cursed:
"You're just giving this little money to a beggar!"

He was not slow either and had already put ten taels of silver into his pocket.

Yuwen Liqian also discovered that the old man didn't look like he was in pain at all.

Very nimble hands and feet!
The people around seemed to be accustomed to it. They crossed their arms across their chests, as if they were watching a play.

There were also young children following suit.

Su Beihai, standing aside, sighed heavily again.

Upon seeing this, Yuwen Liqian couldn't help but wonder, has the Yan area become so chaotic?

The unruly people openly challenged the government!
Godfathers, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you very much!
