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

All the property of the Lu family suddenly disappeared out of thin air. There was also a rumor that the Lu family would be confiscated. Countless people rushed to the Lu family's banknote shop with silver bills to exchange them for silver.

The Lu family looked at the long queue of people and became as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

The eldest master asked with a tearful voice, "What should we do?"

The second master said with a sad face: "Now I can only ask the Qi family to lend me money to help."

Even though the Lu family knew that the Qi family would not be able to help, they still sent people to ask for help from the Qi family's bank.

"Boss Qi, our Lu family is here to borrow money from you at high interest to help us."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and refused: "My eldest daughter said that if the Lu family buys our things, they have to pay double. If the Lu family comes to borrow silver from us, we won't lend them a single copper coin."

No matter how many good words the Lu family said, they knelt down to the money shop owner of the Qi Mansion and said, "Please show mercy and save our Lu family."

The shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyes, and just said, "We can't help, we only listen to the eldest lady."

The masters of several branches of the Lu family regretted very much that they had offended the Qi family in the past, and the Lu family had gradually come to the current situation where there was no way out.

Duke Hui soon learned what happened to the Lu family. He angrily scolded: "The Lu family is so poor, and Lu Fengyun dared to deceive Duke Hui. I want to kill him."

He sent people to the government office and told the officials, "Kill Lu Fengyun and Hu Dingmin."

Hu Dingmin was tied up and dragged into the hall by the yamen runners. He stared at Ding Jinxiu, who was lying on the ground, with a cold look in his eyes, and a strong anger surged in his heart.

He strode forward, kicked Ding Jinxiu hard, and roared: "What the hell are you talking about, you bitch?!" His kick was so powerful that it directly knocked out several of Ding Jinxiu's front teeth.

Ding Jinxiu's mouth was full of blood. She opened her deformed mouth and spat out a few bloody teeth. Then she screamed miserably: "He killed people! He killed so many people!" Her voice was full of fear and despair, which was creepy.

Hu Dingmin's face changed and he immediately shouted, "She actually dared to falsely accuse me! Someone, drag her away and skin her alive!" There was a hint of panic in his tone, and he was obviously frightened by Ding Jinxiu's words.

Qi Wan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Her eyes were as calm as water, but with a hint of imperceptible indifference and sarcasm.

She just stood there quietly, like a bystander, watching the dog-eat-dog drama in front of her. Her eyes were like deep lake water, calm on the surface, but deep inside was an endless undercurrent.

Her eyes swept across the two of them, as if she could see their ugly faces clearly.

She sneered in her heart. They had colluded to harm the Qi family, but now they were fighting each other because of conflicting interests. In her eyes, this farce was nothing more than a ridiculous performance. She even looked forward to seeing them kill each other.

Qi Lu frowned and looked at his niece gloomily, feeling extremely disgusted with her.

Qi Ze and Qi Yuan looked at Ding Jinxiu expressionlessly. They had long been disappointed with her behavior and now had nothing to say.

Lord Xiao slammed the gavel and said, "Come here, Hu Dingmin roared in the court, five strokes of the cane."

Immediately, a group of people came forward, pressed Hu Dingmin onto a bench, and beat him hard with five boards.

Hu Dingmin was beaten with a stick and screamed like a ghost.

Lord Xiao shouted, "Shut up."

Hu Dingmin closed his mouth and sobbed.

Lord Xiao asked, "Why did you kill Xiaochuan?"

Hu Dingmin was afraid of death, so he confessed everything, "After I entered the capital, I met a popular prostitute in a prostitute's house. After a night of love, he said he was from the Lu family, and he was Lu Fengyun."

"Oh, my God!" Everyone was once again shocked by this news. Lu Fengyun was a prostitute?

The homosexual man thought to himself: No wonder he looks familiar, it turns out to be Lu Fengyun.

Lord Xiao turned to look at Qin Gaoming, and they finally understood why Lu Fengyun wanted to kill the princess (Xiaochuan) and ordered people to burn the brothel, because he wanted to cover up the fact that he was sent to the brothel to work as a prostitute.

Qin Gaoming was thinking: Who sent the princess to the brothel and sent Lu Fengyun to be a prostitute?

Soon, he thought, "Only the Lu family can do this."

Officials like Minister Jiang all thought this way.

They also received the order from Empress Dowager Lu: "Handle the case truthfully."

After the first-class adults discussed, Qin Gaoming and the first-class royal family insisted on a heavy sentence, "Lu Fengyun's crimes are extremely serious, and his family must be confiscated and exterminated before we can stop."

"We must do this." Minister Jiang nodded, "The Lu family is too bold. They even dare to kill..."

The adults all thought Lu Fengyun was stupid, and whispered, "Knowing that the princess's wife was taken to a brothel to be a prostitute, trying to rescue her and then use her is better than killing her, isn't it?"

Qin Gaoming said coldly: "He thought he could do this without anyone noticing."

With the approval of the Minister of Justice and the support of the royal children, Lord Xiao ordered people to "search the Lu residence and arrest the Lu family for strict interrogation."

"Yes, sir." A team of yamen runners, led by the chief constable, went to search the house and arrest people.

Many onlookers didn't understand. Lu Fengyun had only ordered people to kill a prostitute and burn down the brothel. How could his crime be so serious that his house had to be confiscated?

Qi Lu and his two sons looked at each other in bewilderment; they were also completely confused.

Qi Wan didn't tell the truth to his father and brothers yet.

The Lu family was surrounded by heavy troops, all their property was looted, and the dowries of the ladies and grandmothers were all confiscated.

Lu Fengyun and the men from several branches of the Lu family were brought into the hall for interrogation, while the women of the Lu family were all taken to the dungeon, awaiting the final verdict.

The sudden disaster plunged the Lu family into despair. They could not bear such a blow, and their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety.

Lu Fengyun's mother, Cheng, cried bitterly all the way. She cried angrily, "Who brought this disaster to our Lu family? Why didn't he receive punishment from the heavens? Instead, he made us suffer so much?"

The Lu family felt extremely wronged and wronged. They didn't know what they had done wrong, but had to endure such hardships. They were confused and helpless about the future, and didn't know how to face all this.

The eldest master of the Lu family was in the hall, and he said confidently: "We in the Lu family abide by the rules. You gentlemen cannot judge us based on one side of the story." He glared at the Qi family fiercely.

The Lu family thought that it was the Qi family who set them up to convict them.

They had indeed guessed correctly that it was Qi Wan who had set up a scheme in private to strike back at the Lu family.

But, they are just guessing, without any evidence.

Qi Wan quietly said a few words to his father Qi Lu and his two brothers, "Let's take this opportunity to sue the Lu family..."

Qi Lu nodded after listening and arranged, "Let Aze come forward."

"Yes, father."

Qi Ze walked into the hall and said loudly: "I want to sue Ding Jinxiu for falsely accusing the Marquis' Mansion."

Ding Jinxiu cried and begged, "Cousin, please let me go. I won't dare to do it again."

Qi Ze shouted, "Bah, don't call me cousin, you don't deserve it."

Qi Ze continued, "I also want to sue the Lu family for sending ten servants to the East Street intersection on a certain day of a certain month to rob and kill the people of the Qi Mansion and take away the banknotes of the Qi Mansion."

"No, such a thing absolutely did not happen! The Qi family is slandering us and making up stories!" The eldest master of the Lu family retorted in a panic.

However, when everyone present saw how panicked he was, they all understood that what Minister Qi said was true.

Lord Xiao stood up and bowed respectfully to Qi Ze: "Minister Qi, do you have any solid evidence?"

Lu Fengyun was shocked and his face turned extremely pale, because he knew clearly that there were indeed three people still alive at that time.

As expected, Qi Ze replied in a loud voice: "Of course I have evidence, and there are three witnesses."

Hearing this, Lu Fengyun could no longer suppress his inner panic and shouted, "No, those are all false testimonies. They are witnesses you arranged in advance."

Qi Ze smiled coldly and continued: "Those three people are now imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial palace."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone was stunned and completely at a loss. What on earth was going on? The assassin of the Lu family was actually imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial palace.
