In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

Qin Gaoming and several officials were sitting in the government hall, discussing something, when they suddenly heard a yamen runner rushing in to report that a prostitute named Xiaochuan had died in the brothel. Qin Gaoming frowned when he heard this, thinking that this was really a strange thing.

It turned out that he had sent someone to the brothel to inquire a few days ago and learned that Princess Yonghe was receiving guests in the brothel and changed her name to Xiaochuan. Now that Xiaochuan died suddenly, he had a conspiracy in his mind.

He murmured to himself, "Why did Xiaochuan (Princess Yonghe) die as soon as Lu Fengyun returned home?"

Several adults on the side thought that this was normal. People often died in brothels. Some women were strong-willed and would commit suicide if they were unwilling to be sold as prostitutes. Some women would be beaten to death if they were disobedient. The brothels had backers, and no one would go looking for trouble. If no one reported it to the authorities, the government would treat it as a normal death.

Lord Xiao instructed the yamen runners, "As usual, go check the situation first. If there is no problem, let them deal with the body themselves."

However, Qin Gaoming raised his hand to signal him to wait for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"What do you want, Lord Qin?" Lord Xiao asked politely.

Qin Gaoming said: "This woman named Xiaochuan is someone I know. You must find out the real cause of her death."

Several adults looked at each other, with a clear expression in their eyes: all men have to play for the occasion, and Lord Qin is probably Xiaochuan's guest.

Master Xiao nodded and agreed, "Yes, Master Qin."

He instructed his men, "Tell the captain to take the coroner to the brothel to investigate the case. If they find anything wrong, bring the body back to the government office."

He added, "This matter must be kept confidential."

What he meant was that Xiaochuan's acquaintance with Lord Qin should be kept secret.

After all, Sir Qin was going to marry the daughter of the Grand Princess in a few days, and if the news of him going to a brothel got out, it would definitely get Sir Qin into trouble.

"Yes, my lord."

The bailiffs of the government office knew that this woman named Xiaochuan had connections above her, so they handled the matter impartially, with the constable personally leading a team of people to the brothel to investigate the case.

Wu Yi told Qi Wan all the information he had obtained: "As soon as Lu Fengyun returned home, he ordered someone to kill the man in the brothel."

Qi Wan listened, nodded, and said, "That's good, one more charge for him." She sighed, "He's getting bolder and bolder, he even dared to kill the princess. I thought that after he escaped, he would find a way to rescue the princess."

Wu Yi shook his head. "What is there for him to be afraid of? He is colluding with Hu Dingmin and wants to do something big."

Qi Wan said disdainfully: "Just the two of them? One is self-righteous and the other is a swindler. What great things can they accomplish?"

Wu Yi reminded her: "They will harm people. They want to take over the Qi family's bank."

After hearing this, Qi Wan immediately became interested and her eyes lit up: "Come on, I'm just worried about having nothing fun to do." She secretly swore in her heart that if the Lu family dared to make another move on the Qi Mansion, she would make them cry and pay the price.

Qi Wan thought for a while, then smiled: "We can't just sit there and wait for them to make a mistake before taking action. Instead, we must take the initiative and teach them a hard lesson!"

She went on to say: “Not only must their conspiracy fail, but their ugly deeds must also be spread throughout the world so that everyone knows their true colors.”

Wu Yi asked curiously, "Master, how can we do that?" She was full of expectations for Qi Wan's plan, but also a little confused, "Can it be done?"

Qi Wan arranged for Wu Yi, "You go..."

"Oh, yes, Master!" Wu Yi said with a smile, and she immediately went to do what her master had asked her to do.

Wu Yi poisoned Hu Dingmin's trusted attendant, and that person wanted to exchange information for an antidote that would not cause the poison.

She went to tell the man, "Tell your master to find a powerful backer, and persuade him to ask Ding to go to the government office to file a complaint against the Qi family."

Hu Dingmin listened to his confidant's words and thought it was very reasonable: "Sir, the Qi family has enemies in the capital. If we ask their enemies for help, they will definitely compromise."

He soon learned that the conflict between Duke Huiguo and the Qi family was deep. When he and Lu Fengyun met secretly at night, he asked, "Master, do you think we should rely on Duke Huiguo?"

"It would be great if we could get close to him, but this guy is hard to talk to, and the Lu family has offended him before." Lu Fengyun told the truth.

"At that time, the master relied on the Zuo family. After the Zuo family was killed, he became enemies with the Huiguo Mansion."

After Hu Dingmin and Lu Fengyun became close, their feelings for each other gradually deepened. He then asked, "How did the master go to that place?"

Lu Fengyun still doesn't know how he was sent to the brothel.

When he mentioned this incident, he hated it, "I don't know who drugged me, and I woke up there."

He suspected that it was the Lu family who did it, but he didn't dare to say anything without evidence.

Hu Dingmin saw his face become distorted, and whispered to persuade him, "Master, when we gain power, we will kill all the suspects!"

"That's right, I will kill all those who might harm me." Lu Fengyun said gritting his teeth.

In order to please him, Hu Dingmin ordered someone that night, "Go and set fire to the brothel."

Soon, screams were heard from the street, "The brothel is on fire, the fire is huge."

"No, it was the brothel that burned down. The fire was too big and there was no way to save it."

The burning of the Xiaoguanlou made many people feel that it was an accidental fire.

The next day, Lu Fengyun heard people at home discussing, "Did anyone get burned to death during the fire?"

"It seems they have all escaped." A servant reported.

"I'm lucky." Old Master Lu said with a crooked mouth.

He had recovered a little from the stroke and was able to get up, but his mouth was still crooked.

Lu Fengyun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "I didn't burn that bastard to death."

The Lu family sat in the hall and began to discuss the brothel.

"I heard before that there was a man named Lu selling his body there. Those people must be plotting against our Lu family."

"Damn it, if I find out who is talking nonsense, I will beat him up and take him to the government office."

"Why are there still people who like to mess around with prostitutes? It's so dirty." Lu Fengyun's father shook his head with a look of disgust on his face.

"The prostitutes are even dirtier." Cheng curled her lips and cursed with contempt.

……

Lu Fengyun listened to it, his face didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, and he nodded, "Yes, yes."

He hated it in his heart, "It was because of the Lu family that I was sent to the prostitute's house and suffered all kinds of humiliation. They actually said these words to mock me in front of me. When I get powerful, they will immediately split up the family."

He even hated his own mother.

"If she wasn't jealous and causing trouble, how could I be harmed by someone?" Lu Fengyun looked at Cheng with cold eyes.

Among the dozens of members of the Lu family, only Lu Feng noticed that his cousin Lu Fengyun had changed a lot. He spoke coldly, and even when he smiled, it was a fake smile. He looked at everyone with cold eyes.

He found that his cousin's eyes were filled with indifference and hatred, and his smile was forced.

It's like he's suffered a great deal of hurt and has deep resentment in his heart.

"Could it be that the rumor is true?" Lu Feng would think anxiously.

He had heard from outsiders that "someone from the Lu family works as a prostitute in a prostitute's house, and his salary is very high, one hundred gold coins a night."

Lu Fenghui and others didn't believe it at all and never went to check.

The family rules of their Lu family used to be very strict. Any children or grandchildren who went to brothels would be expelled from the family.

How is it possible that someone would go to a brothel and sell themselves to a prostitute?
