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

Qi Yuan was riding a tall, mighty horse with bright fur. He seemed to be at ease, but in fact he was very uneasy inside, as if his heart was turbulent like the waves of a raging sea.

He escorted the carriage, pretending to know nothing, and calmly approached the woods.

Qi Yuan held his head high, skillfully concealing his true emotions, without showing the slightest sign of abnormality on his face, as if he was completely unaware of what was happening around him.

He started practicing martial arts at the age of five and has better hearing than ordinary people.

There was a group of people hiding in the woods, he knew it when he arrived.

Qi Yuan secretly praised in his heart, "My sister is getting smarter and smarter. She is a female military strategist." My sister guessed the Ding family's plan, and it turned out to be true.

He pretended to be calm and composed as he walked slowly and calmly past the dense and deep woods.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and a group of people suddenly rushed out from the woods, shouting in unison: "Madam Qi, Qi Fu's family is dead, and all your children and grandchildren are dead!" The sound echoed in the mountains and spread far away.

Upon hearing the news, the Qi family servants who were escorting the carriage were all shocked.

What surprised the Ding family was that they did not hear the old woman's heart-wrenching screams coming from the car.

They all turned their heads and saw that the servants around the old lady all had expressions of fear on their faces.

Ding Xi asked quickly: "Where is the old lady?"

Aunt Zhou pointed at the carriage with trembling hands and said in panic, "The old lady is up there..." She lowered her head.

Ding Xi looked at her without any doubt and wondered in his heart, could it be that the old lady had been frightened to death?

He was filled with joy and said on the spot, "I want to see my old aunt."

Qi Yuan rode on his horse, looking at him with a playful look, and said condescendingly, "This general advises you not to look at it."

"You must look! I suspect she is not in the car." Ding Xi stood in front of the carriage, and he would not move aside unless someone could look at him.

Qi Yuan asked: "What did you just shout?"

"We didn't shout anything." Ding Xi denied.

The servants of the Ding family said, "We didn't shout, it's your hearing that's bad."

The Qi family's servants said, "They shouted that Qi Fu's family was dead."

“No!”

"called!"

The two sides argued endlessly.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a group of government officials jumped out.

All the people from the Ding family present were terrified and opened their mouths, unable to speak.

The leader was Lord Xiao, who said coldly to Ding Xi: "I heard everything you shouted."

"I also saw Madam Qi alive."

"No, no..." Ding Xi was dumbfounded. He turned around and tried to escape, but several yamen runners rushed forward and tied him up on the ground.

All the servants of the Ding family were captured and stuffed into the car.

"Take them all away!" Lord Xiao waved his hand.

Qi Yuan clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Xiao, thank you for your hard work."

Lord Xiao smiled and returned the greeting, "General Qi, you are polite. This is my duty."

It turned out that at the gate of Qi's mansion, the Ding family was making trouble out of nothing and offended Lord Yuan.

He secretly signaled to his men, who ran back to deliver the letter to Lord Xiao.

Lord Xiao was also angry when he heard this. "Isn't this looking for trouble for the officials in our government office? Regardless of whether it's true or not, how are we going to explain this to the Prime Minister?"

He immediately took a team of yamen runners and took a detour to Dongshan. He did not disturb General Qi first, but went to the villa to inquire about the old lady's condition.

Master Xiao pulled a servant over and asked, "Is your old lady's illness healed?"

The servant saw him in his official uniform and didn't know what was going on. He nodded nervously and told the truth, "My Lord, the old lady and the aunt are able to speak and curse under the treatment of Doctor Yuan."

"Go in and let the old lady scold me, I want to listen." Lord Xiao gestured.

"Yes, sir." The servant bowed, went into the house, and said something unknown.

Lord Xiao stood outside, and soon he heard the old lady mumbling, "The eldest son of the family is unfilial for not coming to pay his respects to me."

Qi Yuehua cursed: "It would be better if all the eldest sons of the family died."

The old lady said, "I curse them every day, I hope it works!"

Qi Yuehua twisted her mouth and said, "Spirit, spirit, spirit, good things don't work, but bad things do!"

Mr. Xiao sneered and thought to himself, "This old woman has a bad conscience. No wonder my son and his family are all dead. This is retribution."

Lord Xiao found out that Mrs. Ding, the old lady of Qi, was still alive, so he turned around and went to the front yard, where he met General Qi and Qi Yuan who were talking.

After the three of them greeted each other, they sat together to discuss and set up a plan.

Lord Xiao also left a team of yamen runners to guard outside the old lady's house to prevent anyone from coming to kill someone and frame her.

Qi Yuan set off with the carriage, and Ding Xi jumped out with his servants and shouted, trying to anger Qi's old lady Ding to death.

He was caught on the spot by Lord Xiao, tied up, stuffed into a car, and taken back to the capital.

When the Ding family saw Qi Yuan's carriage approaching them and did not see Ding Xi returning with his men, they all became nervous.

Qi Yuan pointed at the Ding family and said, "The people are here, come and see."

The Ding family members whispered to each other: "What if he is alive?"

"Cry quickly."

The people of the Ding family cried and shouted on the spot: "Aunt, Qi Fu's family is all dead!"

"All your children and grandchildren are dead."

Everyone present was stunned. If Old Man Qi hadn't died before, he would have been angry to death now.

"Bang bang" people were thrown out of the car one by one.

The people present were shocked and looked closely, and saw several servants on the ground.

Someone asked, “Who are these people?”

After seeing clearly, the Ding family showed horrified expressions.

It turned out that the people thrown down were Ding Xi and several servants of the Ding family.

Then a team of officials on horseback appeared in front of the crowd.

Lord Xiao told everyone present, "These are the people sent by the Ding family to scare Madam Qi to death."

Lord Xiao told everyone what had happened.

Everyone present was shocked after hearing this and shouted loudly: "The Ding family is so dark!"

Qi Yuan announced in public: "We in the Qi Mansion are going to sue the Ding Mansion for false accusation."

"No!" The Ding family shouted in horror.

Lord Xiao raised his hand: "Take them all away!"

When the old lady of the Ding family heard the news, her eyes rolled back, her chest ached, and she almost had a stroke out of fright.

She quickly sent her housekeeper to plead with the Qi family: "For the sake of our relationship, please let our Ding family go! We will give you whatever silver you want!"

Qi Lu replied to the Ding family's housekeeper, "We don't want money, we just want you, the Ding family, to pay the price!"

As the case involved false accusations against the general, Nan Shilang of the Ministry of Justice participated in the trial.

Under torture, the Ding family gave away Old Madam Ding, saying that it was she who came up with the idea.

Minister Nan sent people to arrest Madam Ding.

During the retrial, all members of the Ding family explained the whole story:

Qi You and Ding Luo were good friends. The cousins ​​often drank, gambled, and went to brothels together, and they owed a lot of money.

Qi You was too poor and unwilling to give up. One day he said to Ding Luo: "The Ding family wants to join forces with our third branch to steal the wealth of the first branch."

"The eldest son's family has endless silver."

Ding Luo went home and told his family about this, and Mrs. Ding naturally also knew about it.

One day two years ago, Mrs. Qi returned to her parents' home and chatted with her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Ding.

Madam Ding half-jokingly suggested, "Your eldest branch has money, which is much richer than the third branch. Why don't you get some and divide it among the families?"

Old Madam Qi said sinisterly: "If you have a way, kill or destroy the eldest branch of the family, seize their wealth, and divide it equally among us."

Old Madam Ding always kept these words in her heart.

When Mrs. Ding heard that Qi Fu's family had all died, she felt that her chance had come, so she came up with a plan to scare Mrs. Qi to death and put the blame on the Qi family's eldest branch.

After hearing these confessions, everyone was dumbfounded.

Old Madam Qi asked her sister-in-law to find a way to kill the people from the eldest branch of the Qi family.

Madam Ding's idea was to scare Madam Qi to death and then kill the people in the eldest house of the Qi family.

"The two old ladies are more vicious than each other." Lord Xiao sighed, "They almost succeeded. This is a serial case that cannot be solved."

The next day, during the morning court session, Lord Nan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, recounted the case in detail.

All the officials were shocked when they heard this and looked at Qi Lu with sympathy.

The Qi family must have been blessed by God to escape this disaster.

After listening to this, the emperor said weakly: "Falsely accusing officials will be severely punished according to the criminal law!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"
