Chapter 260 The Beggar Who Surrendered Himself
No one knows Chen Wanan's whereabouts, and his sufferings can only be borne silently by himself.
Although many people will think of this name from time to time, most people's thoughts are actually similar to Shi Datong, and they all believe that Chen Wan'an should have died in a remote mountain that no one knows and was buried in the mouth of a wild beast.
Therefore, the secret concerns of the maritime merchants about what Chen Wan'an had revealed after being arrested were almost gone.
However, when they found that the factory guards got something from the Shen family's ancestral home, and spent a lot of effort on it, and caught Lu Anshi, who had been bribed by them, they were eager to find Chen Wan'an, the head of the Shen family, and ask him what was hidden in the Shen family's ancestral home and whether it would implicate them.
The factory guards and Liushemen have no expectations for catching Chen Wan'an. They only hope to use Yuan Xiuwen as a bait to catch the Japanese, and use their spies all over the place to find the traces of the Japanese nest as soon as possible.
As for the so-called things that the maritime merchants are worried about from the Shen family’s ancestral home, they actually don’t know what it is, and they are not even very clear about whether this thing is really there.
They did this just to obey the instructions of the princess Zhu Jinxuan.
However, what they did not expect was that judging from the current results, it seemed to be quite fruitful.
At least, Lu Anshi, the restless fish, has been caught.
If there is no result, the factory guards will naturally not be interested, but once they have the opportunity, they will no longer be as perfunctory as before, so that even a student like Lu Ningxi can see something is wrong.
...
The Guangzhou government office has been stared at by the secret spies of the factory guards, and even among the government offices, the secret spies of the factory guards have already been involved.
But unlike before, this time, let alone Lu Ningxi, a young scholar, even an old fox like Lu Anshi, did not notice any abnormal feeling of being monitored.
But unlike Lu Ningxi, although Lu Anshi did not notice it, he instinctively knew that the factory guards would definitely monitor him closely next, and even the every move of his family and servants, so he did not dare to be careless at all.
In order to prevent those marquis from not seeing each other, they would send people to ask about the results of their previous investigations, so in the past few days, he has restrained his family and tried not to go out and not to give those marquis subordinates the marquis.
However, as the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, the matters he should handle and the cases he should handle are still to be handled and tried.
Although the city of Guangzhou Prefecture is prosperous and lively, there are still many pitiful people like beggars. On the contrary, because the city is rich, the number of beggars is much higher than that of those poor county towns.
However, in this way, because there are more beggars, the "competition" will undoubtedly become fierce. Fights between beggars occur frequently, and injuries, disabilities and even deaths occur frequently.
Although death is not common, it can occur once or twice a year.
When the beggar dies, not to mention the officials like the government office, even the people in the city will not care. They just need coroners and yamen runners to clean up the bodies to avoid any disease caused by the body in the city.
However, on this day, Lu Anshi encountered something that surprised him.
Two beggars came to surrender.
According to the beggar who reported the case, the two brothers came to visit their relatives three months ago from another place to visit their relatives three months ago, but after they arrived, they found that their relatives had moved away half a year ago and disappeared.
The relatives of the two brothers and their families died of illness, and they sold their ancestral houses to get enough money. So after struggling for a month, there was no way to be a beggar.
But after becoming beggars, the two brothers were bullied. The two brothers were weak and could only endure it. However, the other beggars bullied them more and more frequently. Finally, yesterday, the two brothers could no longer bear it and fought back.
Although they were weak, they were bullied for more than two months and were bullied a little ruthlessly. So when they attacked, they fought back to death. In addition, the beggars who bullied them did not expect them to dare to resist, so they were not prepared in a hurry and temporarily gained the upper hand.
However, after a brief shock, the beggars finally became ruthless after reacting, and the two brothers were at a disadvantage again.
When they were pressed under them, their brother touched a brick and stone when he resisted, and subconsciously picked up the head of the person on his body, but he did not expect that the beggar riding on him would be tilted to the side and never woke up again when he hit him.
They were worried and scared for a whole night, and finally decided to surrender.
When the two of them talked about this, Lu Anshi felt a little bored. It would be fine to hear such things once or twice, but he was really a little embarrassed to hear similar things two or three times a year.
However, after the two brothers killed people, not only did not escape like the beggars who accidentally killed people before, but instead came to surrender to him, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
But, after thinking about it again, it only took two months for the two to become beggars, and they felt relieved.
If the two brothers did not come to surrender and no one came to report the case, it would be nothing more than a beggar who died and he would not bother to care.
But now that someone surrendered, he can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, assuming that this has not happened.
The two brothers were imprisoned and were waiting to be defeated.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
But Lu Anshi's joyful faces and great gifts when they left the hall made Lu Anshi interested.
After ordering his constable to investigate, he finally knew the reason.
It turned out that the two brothers did not tell the truth, or deliberately intercepted the subsequent part.
The reason why these two brothers came to surrender was not because they were worried or afraid as they said, but because the beggar they killed was not an ordinary beggar, but a small beggar leader who was supposed to join the Beggar Sect immediately.
The two brothers were completely afraid that one night they would be pierced into the sack without knowing it, tied with stones and sunk into the river, so they came to surrender and wanted to hide in prison.
Even if the murderer's brother is beheaded and paid for his life, at least as a younger brother, as an accomplice, he will only be exiled and can escape his life.
After explaining the reason, the constable was quite emotional about the elder brother's behavior of caring for his younger brother, but Lu Anshi, who was sitting upright on the chair of the Grand Master, did not hear the constable's feelings at all.
Only one word in his mind echoed:
