Guangzhou Government Office.

The prefect Lu Anshi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, paced constantly in the room, and stopped from time to time, either fierce, gritted his teeth, or his face was gray, and he looked extremely unstable.

In fact, he was indeed unable to calm down at this time.

The Jinyiwei and the East Factory gathered in Guangzhou Prefecture, and there were also people from six gates who also joined in the fun. At this time, the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was more complicated than the capital.

Moreover, most of them were the emperor's confidant and minions.

But this is actually nothing to Lu Anshi. After all, Guangzhou Prefecture has always been a "buzzing" place. Before the Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi and Liushemen Constables arrived, this place was never a peaceful place.

Lu Anshi was able to stay in this Guangzhou Prefecture where he was mixed for three years, and even had a good reputation as an official, he was not an easy person. Although the reputation of the factory guards was scary, Lu Anshi believed that it was easy for those factory guards to take him.

But not long ago, when his son Lu Ningxi was traveling outside, he received a secret letter from someone who stuffed it into his sleeve and quickly delivered it to him, he could no longer maintain his previous appearance as light and calm as the clouds and winds.

This secret letter that made Lu Anshi lose his previous demeanor, and there was no complicated content, or even a little too simple, with only one piece of paper and a line of ink words.

The factory guards got a secret box from the Shen family's ancestral home. The contents are not yet clear, so they can be quickly investigated.

The other party's almost commanding tone did not make Lu Anshi angry. The reason was very simple. There was no handwriting on the envelope containing the secret letter, but only a simple pattern: a scimitar with a weird shape.

It was precisely because of this pattern that Lu Ningxi left behind his friends and quickly delivered the letter to his father Lu Anshi on the excuse of urgent matters at home. As for the contents, he did not dare to have any thoughts of peeking.

After staying in Guangzhou Prefecture for nearly five years, he is no longer the ignorant scholar who only knows the books of saints back then.

"Dad! Dad!"

Just as Lu Anshi was pacing anxiously in the room and "changing his face", a loud footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Lu Ningxi pushed the door open and entered.

"How? Did you find out?"

Seeing his son Lu Ningxi return, Lu Anshi's face couldn't help but feel a little expectant, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he asked in an anxious tone.

"Although my son found out the identities of those troublemakers yesterday, it's not, but..."

But when Lu Ningxi faced his father Lu Anshi's expectations, he said that he had started to feel sick later.

"But what?"

"But when I saw those troublemakers nearby, I always felt something was wrong, so I didn't dare to step forward or stay for more."

"You mean there are factory guards monitoring nearby?"

Lu Anshi couldn't help but gasp.

"Although I didn't find them, it's very likely, so I didn't dare to take risks."

"You did it right."

Although he was worried, Lu Anshi still encouraged his son, who was still young.

"No matter when you have to remember, you can only have a future if you save yourself. Otherwise, no matter how much you benefit and how much you make, you are just making wedding dresses for others."

"Son remember."

Lu Ningxi hurriedly bowed to the teachings.

"But, Dad, what should we do next?"

"The people from the factory guards were waiting there, just to wait for someone to investigate. I guess the news may have been leaked out on purpose by the factory guards, and they wanted to attract those guys to the trap, but those guys have always been cunning and must have discovered this, so they asked me to do this."

When Lu Anshi heard his son's question, he did not answer, but slapped the table in anger and expressed his guess.

"I've been extremely kind to these damn maritime merchants on weekdays. They are fine, but they are not grateful. They even use the fact that I turned a blind eye to them before as a threat!"

Lu Ningxi didn't speak. He knew that Lu Anshi was just venting his anger and dissatisfaction. At this time, he just had to listen quietly.

"What a pity, it's too late to regret it now."

Sure enough, Lu Anshi, who had vented enough, finally sat down helplessly, and the anger on his face changed to helpless sighs.

"Dad, otherwise my son would go to the supervisors at a few docks through his friends and ask them to inquire?"

"Don't worry about this matter anymore,"

Lu Anshi shook his head gently and denied Lu Ningxi's idea.

"Shen Wanan, who is so depressed that he doesn't even dare to return from his family, can use those people to send the whole family out to sea. Is this honorable magistrate of Guangzhou still controlled by these lowly people?"

"Dad, do you mean?"

"The factory guards have already monitored the troublemakers. If you want to use small means to inquire in private, there is no chance. Even if you take two more turns, you will not be able to escape the factory guards' investigation. Let my father use my identity as the prefect to solve this matter."

"But, dad..."

"Don't say it, dad knows what you are worried about, so you can rest assured."

Lu Anshi's face returned to the previous light weight of yesterday.

"As the prefect of Guangzhou, there are some unruly people under their rule that dare to steal and snatch the house, how can they keep sitting there and ignoring them?"

...

"Sure enough, Lu Anshi has been bribed by those people."

Lu Anshi was full of confidence and was confident that he could accomplish this without being caught by the other party.

Even if the factory guards have some doubts, there is no evidence and his actions are completely in line with the law, he can still firmly sit in the position of governor of Guangzhou.

But what he didn't know was that Bai Shier, who designed all this from beginning to end, was not really to bring him to justice, but just simply wanted to test him.

And simple temptation, the evidence is obviously not important.

As long as there is enough reason to doubt him, it is completely enough.

"What should I do next?"

Although Zhu Jinxuan was very dissatisfied with Lu Anshi, she also understood at this moment that she could not be too hasty. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to confess her guilt and commit suicide, but she would also scare away those behind the scenes who were also in contact with Lu Anshi.

"Since Lu Anshi has been confirmed to have a problem, then use him as bait to see if he can hook up a fish that is hidden under the water and is not known to us."

Bai Shier, who had already made plans before the news was spread, was full of confidence in the face of Zhu Jinxuan's inquiry.

"But are those people reliable? What if they see Lu Anshi, or are scared to tell the truth after being scared by Lu Anshi's first to tell the truth?"

"What I'm afraid of is that Lu Anshi won't do this."

Looking at Zhu Jinxuan's puzzled eyes, Bai Shier asked with a chuckling.
