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

On this day, Qi Fu and his family sat in a carriage and headed straight for Bianzhou City after leaving the city. After three days of traveling, they finally arrived at the shore in the evening. They successfully changed to a small boat and prepared to go to Yangzhou.

After boarding the ship, Xiao Ding was extremely excited. She couldn't wait to run to the deck, facing the cool night breeze, feeling the breeze on her face, and feeling extremely happy.

Following behind her was her daughter Qi Jiao, who was staring with wide eyes, observing everything around her curiously, full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkles on the lake, covering the lake with a layer of gorgeous golden gauze. The fishing boats sail leisurely, leaving behind a series of delicate ripples.

"It's so nice to take a boat. It's not bumpy and it's cool." Xiao Ding said to Qi Fu with a smile.

Qi Fu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's very comfortable." As he said that, he spread his arms and felt the cool breeze blowing through his body, as if all his fatigue was blown away.

Qi You was sitting on a chair, holding a piece of watermelon in his hand, eating it with gusto. After eating a piece, he threw the watermelon rind into the river.

Qi Jiao leaned over the railing of the boat and looked down at the river. She frowned and said, "This water is so dirty. It's all muddy."

Qi Fu smiled and said, "It would be great if we could get to Yangzhou. The water there is clearer and the boats there are bigger and more luxurious. Let's take a bigger boat and cruise the river."

Qi Jiao heard this, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Really? That's great!"

"We are going to live in a garden villa with a rockery." Qi You said loudly.

"Dad, we want a three-story yard."

"No problem." Qi Fu said with a smile, "No problem for the fifth one."

He patted his chest, where was the private money that the third family had saved over the years, as well as a large sum of money given by his mother.

He thought to himself, tens of thousands of taels can’t buy a five-story courtyard?

"After becoming an official, are you still afraid of having no money? Haha." Qi Fu felt happy when he thought about it.

The family was immersed in the vision of a better life in the future, and their laughter echoed on the river.

Qi You added: "I heard people say that the skinny horses in Yangzhou are extremely beautiful and valuable, one is worth a thousand gold coins."

Qi Fu secretly yearned that if he could get a skinny horse, it would be enough for his life.

Qi Jiao cursed angrily: "Qi Wan, who beat and scolded our parents, should be sent to Yangzhou to be a skinny horse. She can be sold for some money in that state."

The whole family burst into laughter.

Mrs. Ding clapped her hands and praised with a smile, "Ah Jiao said it well. It relieved my mother's anger."

She cursed angrily, "That little bitch dared to curse me to die in three days, but I am still alive and well and will live to be a hundred years old."

As soon as she finished speaking, the boat made a loud noise and began to sway from side to side.

The four members of their family were thrown from the bow to the stern, and they were sitting all over the boat.

The servants hurriedly got up and helped their master.

Qi Fu asked in surprise: "Ah, what happened?" His voice changed.

The boat began to shake even more violently. Before the people on board could check the situation, the boat overturned to the left and the river water quickly poured into the hold.

"Dad, save my daughter." Qi Jiao was half submerged in water. She held the railing of the boat tightly with both hands and screamed in fear.

When the servants saw that the boat was about to sink, those who could swim chose to jump off the boat to escape.

Those who couldn't swim began to cry, "Help, help."

Xiao Ding screamed the loudest, "Help, help!"

Qi You cried out, "Whoever saves me will be given 10,000 taels of silver."

Qi Fu shouted, "Whoever saves me will be given fifty thousand taels of silver."

There were servants who could swim. When they heard their master offer 10,000 to 50,000 taels of silver for saving them, they wanted to turn around and help.

Suddenly, a man emerged from the water, pointed a sword at them, and said, "Get out of here if you don't want to die."

The servants who could swim were so frightened that they fled for their lives and went ashore. They quietly watched from the riverside.

One side of the boat slowly sank, and everyone held on to the upper edge of the boat tightly, calling for help in panic.

Qi Fu was the closest to Xiao Dingshi. He was very afraid of death. Thinking of the promotion and beauty he would face in the future, he kicked Xiao Dingshi into the water without hesitation and cursed: "You are too fat, you are sinking the boat!"

Xiao Ding fell into the river with a splash, and struggled desperately in the water, shouting, "Ah, help...", but soon sank to the bottom of the water.

She couldn't believe it until her death. She would definitely die in three days as Qi Wan said.

She couldn't believe that she was kicked into the water and drowned by her husband.

In order to prevent the boat from sinking and save his own life, Qi Fu pushed his fat son into the river without hesitation.

However, even though he continued to push his wife and children into the river, the boat continued to sink.

The servants panicked and fled from Qi Fu, fearing that he would push them into the river.

Qi Fu lay on top of the boat in despair, shouting, "Help, help!"

At this time, human heads emerged from the river again, and several people with swords in hand surrounded Qi Fu.

"Come and save me." Qi Fu shouted in panic, "I will give you silver."

He pulled out a bag of banknotes from his pocket and shouted, "Hurry up and save me, or you will benefit from it in the future."

Someone shouted in the water: "Qi Fu, our prince said that you have ruined his good deeds and he wants you to die."

After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the water, snatched the silver note from Qi Fu's hand with his left hand, stabbed Qi Fu fiercely with the dagger in his right hand, and kicked him hard. Qi Fu flew into the river and sank to the bottom.

Qi Jiao was horrified by the capsized boat and first saw her mother and brother being kicked into the river and drowned by her father.

Then she saw her father being killed in front of her. She was so frightened that she fainted. A man in black grabbed her hair and saved her from falling into the river and drowning.

One person asked: "Should we kill her?"

Another person said, "Why kill him? Just kidnap him and lock him up for fun. This way, the brothers can save money on going to the brothel."

"No, she is a daughter of an official family. It is a capital crime if she is found out."

"Then sell her to be a skinny horse."

"She's fat and ugly, and her age isn't right. Does anyone want her?"

"Cheaper, or free."

"Ok."

The servants of the third branch of the Qi Mansion, who were holding onto the sinking boat, all pretended not to have seen what happened and not to have heard what was said.

They secretly said: The Third Master and his family deserved it. They wanted to betray the eldest daughter of the first house, but ended up getting backstabbed.

Before leaving, the killers threw a string of large gourds, which they had obtained from somewhere, to the servants of the Qi Mansion.

"Shut up, or you'll all die."

These servants were saved, each holding a large gourd. After reaching the shore, they all escaped, and no one dared to return to the Qi Mansion to report the news.

The Third Prince's men killed Qi Fu and sold Qi Fu's daughter to an unknown place.

The men divided the silver they had obtained and rode back to report, "Your Highness, Qi Fu was killed by us."

After hearing the news, the third prince's leg pain seemed to be relieved a little.

"Tell me about how you killed him."

The leading guard said, "Your Highness, we followed them all the way and wanted to attack them halfway."

"Who knew they boarded the ship in Bianzhou? That's even better, because it saves us from pretending to be bandits and killing people and causing trouble."

"We'll also rent a boat and follow from a distance, ready to take action when it gets dark."

"It seemed as if God wanted to kill him. His boat capsized just after we dived into the water."

"He first threw his wife and children into the river and drowned them. Then we emerged from the water and killed him with our swords."

"Well done." The Third Prince gritted his teeth and cursed, "Qi You owed me 100,000 taels of silver, and he didn't do the job for me. Qi Fu even dared to escape to Yangzhou to serve as an official. Even if these two bastards run to the ends of the earth, I will kill them to vent my anger."

"This is the price of betraying this king."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Two days later, the Ministry of Justice in the capital received a message from an official sent by the prefect of Bianzhou: "The Bianzhou government received a report that a boat sank in the canal the night before. Three bodies were found. After checking the belongings on the bodies, a bronze plaque of the Qi Mansion and a letter of appointment were found. The words on it were not clear. After investigation, we learned that it was Qi Fu, the third master of the Qi Mansion, who rented the boat to go to Yangzhou."

The news quickly spread from the Ministry of Justice to the Qi Mansion.

Pei was shocked when she heard this, "Ah, they're all dead?"

She and her daughter-in-law Zheng looked at each other in horror.

I remembered what Qi Wan said to Xiao Ding, "You will die in three days."

Pei ordered hurriedly, "Don't say a word of nonsense outside, otherwise, the whole family will be sold out."

"Yes, madam."

Zheng said: "It's just a coincidence."

The servants said one after another: "Yes, we know."

Some servants did know the truth.

One of their relatives encountered danger when he followed the third wife to take office. He bought a horse and escaped overnight. He hid at home and did not dare to show up for fear of bringing trouble to his family.

Those who escaped told their families what had happened.

No one dared to say, "This was done by the Third Prince."
