This evening.

The night is hazy.

The osmanthus flowers in Lu Shikang's courtyard bloomed after a few days, and the flowers bloomed more, and the fragrance in the courtyard swept into the room with the autumn wind from time to time, and the fragrance of the whole house was fragrant.

Wu Shan put the chessboard and chess pieces on the low table on the couch as usual, and he had to accompany his third son to play chess as usual.

Zhou Da Wednesday and Qi Fang gathered around the side, waiting to watch them play chess.

As soon as the two were about to start a war, they saw Zhang Hanze, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, hurrying over.

"Third son, don't play chess yet, the master will let you go over." Steward Zhang's face was white and ruddy, and his body was slightly blessed, probably because he was in a hurry, and he was a little wheezing when he came in.

"What?" Lu Shikang had just taken a chess piece in his hand at this time, and was about to put it on the chessboard.

"The master didn't say anything." Steward Zhang replied, still undecided.

"Third son, go quickly, since the master calls you now, there must be something." Wu Shan analyzed. Because the lord doesn't call the third son over much at night on weekdays.

Lu Shikang got out of bed, and when he rushed to the hall of his father's room with Steward Zhang, he saw him sitting at the table of eight immortals in the hall, with a serious face.

He was still wearing an official uniform, and an official hat was also worn on the top of his head, thinking that he had just returned from the government.

"You spread the word everywhere that you know some shocking secret, you say, what secret do you know?" Lu Hezhou asked with a serious face.

"I ...... I don't know any secrets. Lu Shikang replied.

"You're even lying to your father, aren't you?" Lu Hezhou said sharply, "If you really know someone's major secrets, you must not disclose them to the public, understand?" ”

"I ...... Playing with people. ”

"With whom?"

"Father, someone you don't know."

"What you really know is not the secret of Liu Gui?" Lu Hezhou asked his son with a puzzled expression.

"He? What does it have to do with him? Lu Shikang was a little inexplicable.

"I have just received news today that the Judge has written a letter to the Holy Lord this morning, stating his guilt, saying that he had accepted a huge bribe during his time as an official and asked for his resignation. What shocking secrets do you know, which really have nothing to do with him? ”

Lu Shikang was stunned, sure enough, everyone in Jiangbei City has a bit of a secret, the higher the position, the bigger the secret. I didn't expect that my attempt to test Dr. Kong's identity would cause such a magical effect.

Seeing that Lu Shikang was a little stunned, Lu Hezhou waved his hand at him and said, "Go back, if you know anyone's secrets in the future, don't tell the world easily, so as not to cause death." ”

"Yes, father. The son wrote it down. Lu Shikang withdrew from the room.

Lu Shikang returned to his room in the night and saw Wu Shan still sitting in front of the chessboard.

The two began to play against each other.

After Wu Shan went down for a long time, he found that his third son seemed to be a little out of state today.

In the past, he would always lose to the third son, but today, after three games, he has already won two games against his third son.

"Third son, you can't be lucky today."

"Let's put it away. Today, my son is not in the mood to play chess. ”

Wu Shan hurriedly put away the chess pieces, and in the process of putting the chess pieces into the urn, he found that the third son of his family took out the bronze medal from his arms, and when his eyes stared at it, his eyes seemed to be a little erratic.

Wu Shan then asked, "Third Prince, is the bronze plaque left by that girl so good-looking?" ”

His third son smiled slightly, "This bronze plaque...... It's kind of interesting. ”

Someone's name, after all, is inconvenient to export.

Wu Shan listened to the words of his third son, and this time he was completely stunned.

He still remembered that eight days ago, the third prince said that Dr. Kong was a little interesting, seven days ago he said that the woman who was locked in the small utility room by them was a little interesting, and today, he said that this bronze card is a little interesting.

The third son seems to be a little weird these days.

"That'...... Am I interesting? Wu Shan covered the urn where the chess pieces were placed with a lid and asked him the third son.

"You?" His third son smiled heartily, "You are more interesting." ”

Wu Shan touched his forehead, he knew that the third prince must be making fun of himself again.

At this time, Wu Shan suddenly woke up what happened to the third prince and Dr. Kong in Liuzuo Lane in the morning, so he said angrily: "Doctor Kong is too unkind to Gongzi in Liuzuo Lane today, how can Dr. Kong be reckless today?" In our Jiangbei City, no one has ever dared to talk to you like this. ”

Not to mention that Governor Lu is a magistrate on this side, it is just an inheritable and rich family business left by the grandfather of the third prince, and he does not dare to let anyone underestimate him. That Dr. Kong didn't know where he got the courage to dare to say this about the third son? According to what he said, is it wrong to wear well, eat well, and live a good life well?

"You go to sleep." This is the answer of his third son.

Wu Shan was shocked to realize that he was so upset about the third son, but he himself didn't care at all.

In that case, he didn't bother with that. Now that Wednesday and Qi Fang have gone to bed, it is time for him to go to bed.

Wu Shan picked up the chess urn, put it on the counter against the east wall in the room, helped the third prince make the quilt, and went to sleep.

After Wu Shan left, Lu Shikang in the room got up from the couch and wandered around the room.

He picked up the bronze plaque in his hand, looked at it, and whispered to himself:

"Bronze, Bronze, your master, is indeed a bit reckless, confused, and crazy......" he said and shook his head.

Keep walking.

Walked to the thrush cage hanging on a shelf in the hall, shook the bronze plaque at the caged thrush, and said: "I'm just like you, in someone's eyes, a bird......"

He shook his head again, a wry smile on his lips.

.

Qingzhi's heart was nervous that night.

She didn't know what effect she had after scolding Lu Shikang today and letting him see what effect she had when she went to the old woman's house.

Was he more resentful of himself for scolding him, or did he find out later that he had been kindly sympathetic to the old woman?

Will he still insist on exposing himself two days later?

She decided, two days later, she would dress up as the little groom she had dressed before, and go to Wangjianglou to hear for herself what secret he was going to announce to everyone.

What if it has nothing to do with you?

Or what if he felt that he had a good heart and showed mercy?

.

Day 2.

Lu Shikang took Qi Fang, and around midnight, he went to the restaurant to drink as usual, and when he just got out of the carriage and walked towards the restaurant, he was almost injured by a horse that rode quickly.

Fortunately, Wang Lu found the galloping horse when he stopped the sedan chair, and immediately dismounted and pushed his third son to the side of the road. And Wang Lu himself was slightly injured.

The man on the horse did not slow down in the slightest after almost hitting the man, but continued to gallop forward.

"Who is in such a hurry?" Qi Fang looked at the galloping horse and said unintentionally.
