Regarding the Lu family, Qingzhi has a vague memory of the original body, and he has heard some stories about the Lu family in the past few days, so he is not completely unaware.

This Jiangbei City prefect Lu Hezhou is the second son of the late wealthy businessman Lu Zhen. Lu Hezhou has a brother named Lu Heyuan, and a sister named Lu Pinyue.

The two brothers, Lu Hezhou and Lu Heyuan, took the official road and the business road, each went their own way and got their own place. The younger sister of the two, Lu Pinyue, married to the He family, a businessman who had business dealings with the Lu family, and the Lu family was also a good match.

Mrs. Lu is currently living in Jiangbei City with her second son Lu Hezhou.

Lu Hezhou has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the second son are now in the capital, the eldest son Lu Shizhao is serving in the capital, and the second son Lu Shiliang is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

In addition to his three sons, Lord Lu also has a daughter, whose daughter's name is Lu Yuanqing, who is four years younger than Lu Shikang, Lu Shikang is just twenty this year, and Lu Yuanqing is sixteen.

It is said that after Qingzhi and Qian Liu went out, they walked in the streets and alleys of Jiangbei City, all the way to the prefect's private residence, Lufu.

The Lu Mansion is located in the western part of Jiangbei City, and the Confucian family mansion is located in the eastern part of Jiangbei City.

Halfway through, Qingzhi told Qian Liu about the memory loss caused by riding a horse these days, and Qian Liu reassured her that he would do his best to help her.

The two of them saw that they were about to arrive at the gate of Lufu, and when they were about to turn into Ningqiao Street in front of Lufu, a person suddenly rushed out of the alley in front of them.

Since the person who came rushed out suddenly, Aoeda thought for a moment that he had encountered a robber.

Shocked, he just stood up when he heard the person who rushed out say, "Doctor Kong, are you here?" Come on this side please! ”

It turned out that this person was Lu Shikang's sidekick.

This little guy was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a green cloth jacket and brown trousers, with a thin and long body, not small eyes, and a little dark skin.

Qingzhi thought that he was waiting here early because he was nervous about his son-in-law, so he and Qian Liu continued to walk towards the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the little guy hurriedly stopped her behind, "Doctor Kong, go this way, go this way......"

Qingzhi and Qian Liu stopped, turned around and looked back, only to see the long-faced little guy pointing to the alley next to the east wall of the Lu Mansion, where he had just suddenly appeared.

Qingzhi wondered why he didn't go through the gate and went down the alley instead.

Could this alley be out of the way?

Wouldn't it be rude to let a doctor who came to see a doctor go astray?

She walked into the alley with questions, and at a glance, the fence followed the alley to the end, where was there any side door?

There was a ladder by the wall twenty feet away from her, and a man dressed the same as the little man next to her was standing on the ladder and sawing the branches of the wall with a saw.

Qingzhi guessed that he was repaired by the Lu Mansion.

When the tree sawing man saw her and Qian Liu, he immediately climbed down the ladder, and when he stood on the ground, he could see that he was half a head shorter than the person who rushed out of the alley just now, and his round face looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

The long-faced little guy who rushed out of the alley just now approached Qingzhi and whispered, "Please also ask Dr. Kong to enter from here." ”

Well? Climb the ladder into the Lu Mansion?

Aoeda thought he had misheard.

"From here?" Qingzhi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, I've wronged Dr. Kong."

Qingzhi turned his face to Qian Liu and said, "Let's go back." ”

He turned around and left.

Qian Liu also followed behind, muttering: "This is too slutty!" ”

The long-faced guy who rushed out of the alley just now hurriedly ran a few steps, rushed in front of the two, and said hurriedly with an unsettled breath: "Doctor Kong has misunderstood, you listen to my explanation." ”

"Not necessarily." Qingzhi said coldly.

"You really have to listen to me explain. Our son-in-law was beaten, and I can't let my lord know, so I have no choice but to wronged you for climbing the ladder......"

Aoeda stopped when she heard this, and her curiosity sparked.

"Why can't you let your master know?"

"Doctor Kong, don't you know, my lord is very strict with my son-in-law on weekdays, as long as he is beaten outside, he thinks he deserves it, this is not counted, every time my third son is beaten by outsiders, his old man will order someone to beat him again, so that he can remember it for a long time. That's not all, after the beating, he was asked not to go out for ten days, so as to reflect on his mistakes, so my son-in-law is now beaten outside, and I never dare to tell my master......"

Speaking of this, he paused, "Normally, we secretly buy medicine for him to eat, but today is not a last resort, I will not ask you to come." ”

Aoeda understood.

Therefore, this Lu Shikang was afraid of being whipped again after being beaten, and he was afraid of being locked up at home for ten days, and he was severely beaten because of this, so he secretly asked for a doctor?

Knowing all this, she knew that the person who was sawing branches by the wall just now was just disguising, just in case the rest of the Lu family or outsiders passing by saw a ladder by the wall and were puzzled.

The real intention of erecting a ladder here is nothing more than to allow her to climb in.

She is a person with a heart for gossip, and a person with a heart for gossip, she wants to go and see immediately what kind of person the rumored Lu Shikang is.

At the moment, he no longer cared about whether it was decent to climb the ladder as a doctor, and said to Qian Liu: "Since Lu Gongzi does have something unspeakable, let's go." ”

Qian Liu was more gossip than her, and she was already curious about the cause of Lu Sangongzi's beating, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we really can't die without help." ”

The little servant, who was pretending to see a twig on the ladder of the wall, heard them agree, and immediately came down from the ladder again and stood by the ladder.

The long-faced little guy ran to the entrance of the alley, in order to report the news as soon as he saw someone passing by.

Qingzhi climbed up the ladder, and when he got there, he found that there was another ladder inside the wall, and there was a small guy standing under the ladder. When the little guy saw her come down, he shushed out, meaning not to speak loudly.

Aoeda nodded knowingly.

When Qian Liu also came down, the little guy who was standing on the side of the wall just now gently led them away from the wall and walked forward.

The osmanthus tree is planted along the wall, and the osmanthus has bloomed at the moment, and the courtyard is full of fragrance.

It seems that the place where the little servants set up the ladder just now is in the courtyard where their third son lives.

Because Aoeda noticed that he hadn't taken a few steps forward before he was led to a house.

It seems that this is the independent courtyard of their three sons, and they didn't meet anyone along the way.

There are three main houses and four side rooms in the courtyard, and there is a small house standing at the door of the main house, and when he saw Kong Qingzhi coming, his face immediately showed a happy look.

He bent down and said to Kong Qingzhi, "Doctor Kong, please come in, my son-in-law has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Where did your son-in-law get hurt?" Qingzhi wanted to find out a little bit about Lu Shikang's injury.

While asking, I looked at the hall, the hall in the house was clean, and the decoration style in the house was luxurious and elegant.

Everything here can be seen that this is the residence of a very sophisticated nobleman.

As she was looking, she heard the little girl answer what she had just said, "I hurt my head, and I also hurt my arm." ”

"Who beat him, why was he beaten so early in the morning?" Qian Liu couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"Don't mention it, my third son doesn't know who beat him, he was beaten in the middle of the night last night, because it was too late, so I didn't bother you."

"So you three sons were beaten in a daze?"

"My third son-in-law said that even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must find out the person who beat him."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Qian Liudao.

Aoeda thinks so, too.

If there are few people who offend, you can still lock the target, and guess how difficult it is for a person like Lu Shikang who has offended many characters to find the real culprit......
