They wouldn't have known if they hadn't investigated, but when they did, they were really shocked. On the surface, the Lu family was famous for being kind and had given out many porridge meals during every natural disaster.
However, he had also done many evil deeds in private. Most of everyone here knew about it, and it wasn't just the Lu family's son doing them.
The Lu family's elder and butler had relied on a great aunt of the Lu family in the capital to rob the people here of their businesses and cut off their income over the years.
After the Third Prince received the news, he had a headache because the great aunt of the Lu family was the Empress's aunt. Also, the great aunt was also the wife of a second-grade official, and she wasn't someone he could simply deal with.
Thus, he submitted a memorial and reported the evil deed the Lu family had done to the Emperor. He later sent someone to the county government to settle the Lu family here.
