Before Lu Zheng went to the Lu Mansion, You Xiaowu's news had already arrived. He followed Changshan and stepped into the Duke of Ying's Mansion cautiously. He only thought that the other party was a young master, but he didn't expect that the other party's status was so high.

The servant guarding the door looked at him doubtfully for a long time, and probably couldn't figure out why the Third Young Master asked such a person to come to the mansion.

You Xiaowu was originally timid and frightened, but when he was seen by the servant's suspicious eyes, his heart suddenly rose with anger. He made a living by his cooking skills, so why should he be so servile? Thinking of this, his back straightened, his eyes stopped moving, and he followed Changshan into Zhutanju with his head held high.

As soon as Lu Zheng saw him, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did you find out?"

You Xiaowu sat down on the stool, and without paying attention to Ji Xiang's frown, he said casually, "I did find out something..."

Liu Zhi had met all kinds of people when she was fleeing from famine, so naturally she would not despise You Xiaowu like Ji Xiang did. She brought him a cup of tea with a smile, "Young man, please have a sip of tea first and talk slowly." You Xiaowu

had never been treated like this before, and he was suddenly a little flattered. He didn't know whether he should drink the teacup or not.

Ji Xiang quickly pulled Liu Zhi: "Sister..."

Liu Zhi turned around and smiled at her soothingly, and bowed to Lu Zheng: "I will leave first."

Lu Zheng nodded, and Liu Zhi took Ji Xiang and led a few little girls to open the door and leave. Only

Lu Zheng and You Xiaowu were left in the room.

You Xiaowu took a sip of tea, not caring about the heat, and said directly: "I followed your instructions and inquired about the strange things that happened in the Lu family in recent years, and I really gained something." He lowered his voice, "I don't know what kind of evil has happened to the Lu family in recent years. Three years ago, the eldest master suddenly fell ill and died a few days later. Then the twelfth daughter of the Lu family fell into the water and drowned. Not long after, the eldest grandson caught a cold and was almost recovered. I don't know how he died suddenly. These are all Lu family members. Other maids and servants were carried out one after another. I asked the nanny who handled their bodies. These maids and servants were all naked and covered with scars. I'm afraid..."

Lu Zheng frowned, "Afraid of what?"

"Hehe!" You Xiaowu smiled maliciously, "Your house is clean, there is no such dirty things, I am afraid that I will pollute your ears if I tell you."

Lu Zheng suddenly understood, his face flushed, but not because of shame, but anger: "This is too...too beastly!"

You Xiaowu mocked: "Either they signed a death contract, or they were bought as slaves, they are all worthless, how can the high and mighty masters care about them?"

“Even if you are of low status, you are still born by your mother and raised by your father. You are a living being!”

You Xiaowu paused, then suddenly approached Lu Zheng and whispered, “Young Master, you are so different from others.”

Lu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat and he opened his mouth to explain. You Xiaowu had already sat back in his original position as if nothing had happened. “Many servants in the Lu’s house know about this. I’m afraid there are also servants in your house who are aware of this.” People know that it is said that the Lu family committed a sin and the wronged ghosts came back to take their lives!" He smiled, "Of course, I don't believe this. Those people died such a miserable death in their lifetime. They may not have the courage to come back for revenge after death. It's just that someone has a guilty conscience and spread the rumor."

Lu Zheng also calmed down a little and asked, "Then who do you think it is?"

You Xiaowu patted the table and pointed to the sky.

Lu Zheng was puzzled.

You Xiaowu sighed: "Your family is full of talented people, you must have made a lot of enemies. I can find out the information, so others can naturally find out too."

Lu Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect You Xiaowu to think of this. He originally thought that the other party was just a street thug. Even if he had some ability to find out information, he was limited by his vision and needed to be trained. Now he realized that he really underestimated him. He was indeed a master in the world.

You Xiaowu added: "When I was inquiring for information, I also inquired about the Lu family. Sure enough, I found out that someone had come to visit several elders in the past two days. I don't know who it was. I think the reason you called me here in a hurry is related to these things!"

Lu Zheng nodded. After correcting his impression of You Xiaowu, he also changed his attitude towards him: "Yes, because of their coercion, I need to solve the case within five days." He did not hide the fact and told You Xiaowu that the elders forced Lu Yuan to commit suicide out of fear of crime.

You Xiaowu was dumbfounded: "Fortunately, I was born and raised in the natural environment, otherwise I would be choked to death if I met such a tribesman!" Then he thought, this is also a tribesman of the young master in front of him, and he smiled awkwardly, "I have a foul mouth, don't take it to heart."

Lu Zheng shook his head. You Xiaowu really said what was in his mind. He asked You Xiaowu: "When you were asking for information, did you find out about Mrs. Lu Qi?"

You Xiaowu's eyes rolled: "You suspect Mrs. Qi?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I just happened to find out something, and I don't know if it's useful to you."

"You tell me."

"I heard that the ancestor of this Seventh Madam was an imperial physician in the previous dynasty. Later, when a scholar appeared in the family, they gradually became unofficial

. But I thought that even if they were unofficial, there must be some prescriptions or medical skills in the family that are not passed on to others!" Lu Zheng frowned, "I've never heard of this."

"Of course you can't have heard of it. This Seventh Madam also married far away. Her parents' home is in Yunzhong. If I didn't know a fellow villager from her hometown, I would not know these." You Xiaowu sighed, "This Seventh Madam has a miserable life. She is obviously a legitimate daughter, but her mother died early, and she had a stepmother who looked kind but had a wicked heart. She was said to be unlucky, otherwise why would she marry a cruel and disabled person."

Lu Zheng didn't say anything. He had been thinking, if these members of the Lu family were all killed by Yan, then what was her motive? Does this matter have anything to do with the first wife Wu?

Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't say anything, You Xiaowu licked his lips and said, "Actually, I have another piece of news..."

Lu Zheng came back to his senses: "What?"

"But this news is not in my hands for the time being, and I don't know how much money you should use to buy this news."

Lu Zheng followed You Xiaowu to Qingxiufang. Although it was close to curfew, the lights in the square were still on.

Changshan and Changshui behind him showed disapproval on their faces, and Lu Zheng's face was not very natural. The reason was that Qingxiufang was the so-called brothel street, and it was the lowest kind.

You Xiaowu was very familiar with this place. He took them through all kinds of cheap cosmetics and handkerchiefs and stopped at a dark door.

"Here?"

You Xiaowu coughed lightly and knocked on the door. A heavily made-up woman came out shakily: "I'm coming."

You Xiaowu took a silver ingot and put it in front of the woman: "Our master wants to see Zhiyun."

The woman's eyes were glued to the silver. She took it and bit it before smiling and said: "Please, please, please."

Lu Zheng rubbed his nose uncomfortably and followed them in. He found that there were many compartments in this small courtyard. There were two skinny men standing at the door of two compartments. Their eyes lit up when they saw them.

"Master, do you want to come and sit down? I can do anything..."

"Shut up!" The woman scolded, "The distinguished guests are here to see Zhiyun, you all go back to the house."

Lu Zheng saw that the two men shrank back after being scolded, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but You Xiaowu pulled his sleeves beside him and shook his head at him imperceptibly.

Zhiyun lived in the darkest and dampest room at the back of the courtyard. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine and foul smell could be smelled. The

woman lit the oil lamp on the table, and they could see the furnishings in the house and the man lying on the bed.

He should have been very handsome, but the long-term pain and suffering made his eye sockets sunken, and his hair fell out a lot. He was so thin that his bones could be seen, and there were various marks of blue and black on the exposed neck.

Zhiyun coughed and said, "I thought you were an old customer, but you turned out to be a new guest, and a prostitute at that."

Lu Zheng turned his gaze to You Xiaowu, who took two steps forward and said, "How did the Yun master of the Hongchang class fall to such a state now?"

Zhiyun's eyes paused, and he raised his head to look at You Xiaowu, "I don't remember how many of you were among the customers who flattered me back then."

Lu Zheng couldn't wait any longer and asked directly, "Do you still remember Lu Xian?"

Zhiyun showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that he is really an old friend." He moved his body and slowly moved from the bed to the ground. Only then did Lu Zheng realize that he was missing a leg.

He slowly moved over with the help of the bed and sat on the stool. The movement made beads of sweat on his forehead and a touch of red on his pale face. Even though he was now thin and out of human form, he still exuded a kind of sickly beauty.

He looked at Lu Zheng and said lightly: "I can answer whatever you want to ask, but how much do you want?"

Lu Zheng also sat down: "How much do you want?"

Zhiyun smiled: "Back then, Lu Jian spent 700 taels of silver to redeem me from the Hongchang class. Now I am a useless person, so I will give you a discount of 300 taels."

You Xiaowu jumped up suddenly: "You are kidding me!"

It was a bit incongruous for You Xiaowu, who made his debut by kidding people, to say this. Lu Zheng couldn't help but look at him strangely.

You Xiaowu coughed and said, "Your current situation may be related to what happened in the past. If you tell us the truth, maybe we can help you get revenge!"

Zhiyun laughed and burst into tears.

"Revenge?" He coughed twice and his expression became extremely cold. "As the saying goes, a cousin is heartless and an actor is disloyal. How much is revenge worth?"
