Lu Anshi never believed that there would be coincidences in the world, especially in such matters involving life and death.

Therefore, when Lu Anshi heard his constable mention the word "Beggar Gang" during the day, he kept thinking.

How should he avoid everyone's eyes and see these two beggars alone?

He has heard of the skills of factory guards many times in the officialdom and has also seen them many times.

Even though he had not discovered the factory guard spy now, he was sure that these hawk-like factory guard spys must have been targeting him like a wolf.

Moreover, the factory guards may have turned many servants and officials he knew into their eyes through means such as bribery and threats. If he did not take any precautions, he was afraid that he had just met the two beggars, and the two beggars would be arrested and tortured by the factory guards.

Just like he never believed that there would be coincidences in the world, Lu Anshi never believed that there would be people in the world who were so hard that they could withstand severe torture without opening their mouths.

Under the means of factory guards, no matter how stubborn the two little beggars were, they were afraid they would still sell him in the end.

Even if he took ten thousand steps, the two beggars had already died because they could not withstand the severe torture before confessing to him. He still stood still and failed to spread the news.

Those people will definitely use other means to continue asking themselves that at that time, the risks will definitely be much greater than this first time, because the factory guards have already gained experience.

Therefore, he had to think of a perfect solution, successfully solve this problem in one go, and eliminate the potential for an outbreak at any time, thus causing the life of his whole family.

Lu Anshi made up his mind.

But most things in the world are easy to know and difficult to do, let alone this thing that Lu Anshi dared not even say "knowing".

Although he made up his mind, he sat in the study until midnight, and he could not come up with a way to avoid everyone's eyes.

...

When Lu Anshi delivered the news to the hands of those maritime merchants through the two beggars, the two beggars still did not fall asleep in the cell.

The harsh environment in the cell is not the main cause. As beggars, they have experienced many more harsh situations. At least in order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, the cell will not even have no roof and cannot even stop the rain.

In the cell, there were so many people talking, neither of them spoke. They just listened to each other's breathing to make sure that the other party had not fallen asleep as much as they were.

...

Compared to Lu Anshi's worries, the worries in the hearts of the two were even stronger.

After all, even if Lu Anshi fails this time, as long as he is not caught with the exact evidence, he will have another chance.

But if the two of them fail this time, they are afraid that their lives will come to an end.

However, compared with Lu Anshi, they could only passively endure even if they were worried, because as death row prisoners, even if they could have any way, they had no room for any display. They could only place their hopes entirely on Lu Anshi.

But the two brothers are still not sure.

Has Lu Anshi really realized their true identities?

Amid this uncertain worry, the night finally passed, but after the second day there was still no movement, the two of them had an unknown premonition in their hearts. After three days in a row, Lu Anshi seemed to have forgotten them, and there was no action again. The two of them completely fell into despair.

...

Lu Anshi seemed to have forgotten the two prisoners who committed murder. This incident made Lu Anshi's master Guan Henian feel quite strange. He originally thought that Lu Anshi had some profound meaning, but as time passed, he really couldn't help it. On the evening of the third day, he finally decided to ask about the situation.

"Mingfu."

"Oh, Henian, what's the urgent matter when you come so late?"

Lu An looked as usual on the world, but he felt relieved in his heart.

‘I finally waited for you!’

"Yeah, this one,"

Guan Henian pondered for a while, observed Lu Anshi's expression, and found that his face looked as normal, as if he had indeed forgotten the two beggar brothers, and then asked carefully.

"What important things need to be dealt with in the Ming Mansion these days?"

"Why did Henian say this? If there is something important, why wouldn't I invite Henian to help me with some details?"

"Then, I wonder if Mingfu still remembers the two beggar brothers who came to surrender before?"

"Um?"

Lu Anshi frowned and pretended to be thinking, then looked enlightened, and the embarrassment flashed away.

"Ah, my mansion naturally remembers that pair of beggar brothers. What's wrong? He Nian has any suggestions for the punishment for the two brothers' guilt?"

Seeing the embarrassment flashing across Lu Anshi's face, and hearing Guan Henian, who called himself "the mansion", he already understood that the prefect of his family really forgot about this matter, and only remembered it after being reminded by him.

However, if you know, Guan Henian would not expose Lu Anshi's concealment. As a master, his reward and status are all entrusted to the other party, so he naturally would not do stupid things that would make the other party feel unhappy.

"The Ming Mansion's Qiangang is arbitrary, and students dare not interfere with the government."

Guan Henian immediately followed Lu Anshi's words.

"The student just felt that the brothers were also pitiful. Because they were bullied for a long time by those beggars, they were forced to fight back and not kill people in vain. After the murder, although they came to surrender because they were afraid of being retaliated, they finally surrendered. The Ming Mansion would rather save the brother from his death penalty and sentence him to Qiongzhou with his brother. In this way, both lives will be saved and the Ming Mansion can gain a reputation of loving the people as their sons and treating the people as wounded. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Um."

Lu Anshi stroked his beard and looked thoughtful, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

"What Henian said is deeply my heart. However, if our mansion did not pronounce the verdict in court, I am afraid that the people in the city will secretly think that our mansion is favoritism."

Lu Anshi glanced at Guan Henian with a meaningful look.

"Students understand."

Guan Henian followed Lu Anshi for many years, but how could he still not know what he said?

"After the students returned, they immediately ordered people to notify the people nearby and let them come to watch the verdict tomorrow so that they can understand that the adults love the people as their children and treat the people as sad."

Lu Anshi did not speak anymore, but nodded slightly.

Guan Henian turned around and left with a respectful look on his face, but Lu Anshi's smile could no longer be suppressed.
