Chapter 9 Sacrifice
Haunted house.
"One thousand taels!"
Looking at the hesitant ghost, Li Wuji stretched out a finger and raised his voice.
Hearing that Li Wuji's opening was a thousand taels, the ghost guy who was hesitating couldn't help but feel a little moved, although he was still jealous, but what he wanted to say had already reached his lips.
"Five thousand taels!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji directly stretched out five fingers!
This time, he borrowed a lot of money from the princes and nobles in the capital, and the eldest princess's mansion alone got 100,000 taels.
So for him, what he has is money!
"Meng Chenru! He used to be a staff member of the East Palace, and the most trusted person of Prince Lichang! ”
"As for whether he's still alive or not, I don't know, he seems to have disappeared since that incident."
The ghost guy didn't hesitate anymore and couldn't help but blurt out.
Meng Chenru?
Li Wuji silently recited the name twice, trying to remember it in his heart.
"I got five thousand taels in one sentence, should I give me another question."
Li Wuji hesitated for a moment and continued to speak.
"Please."
The ghost guy paused, then nodded slowly.
"Do you know where the crown prince and the princess are buried?"
Li Wuji continued to ask.
He knew that if the crown prince was condemned as a rebellious minister and thief, even if he died, he would never be buried in the imperial tomb.
Maybe it was the trace of love left in his heart that had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't help but want to see them, even if it was incense.
"They don't have a mausoleum, not even a monument."
Hearing Li Wuji's question, the ghost guy couldn't help but sigh, a little helpless.
"And where are their bones?!"
Li Wuji frowned, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Twenty miles north of the capital, Broken Yin Mountain!"
The ghost replied with a sigh.
"Broken Yin Mountain? What is that place? ”
Leave Wuji to ask.
"Mass graves, those who have no name, no surname, or homeless people will all be thrown there, exposed to the wind and sun, eaten by wild dogs, and all of them will become lonely ghosts! Don't be overborn! ”
"Not only that, but it is also a place to pour night incense, which is originally a fertilizer, but it is also divided into good and bad, and generally inferior ones will be poured into Duanyin Mountain."
"All the people in the East Palace, including the crown prince and the crown princess, all the corpses were thrown there, even if you look for it now, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."
The ghost shook his head helplessly and continued to explain.
After listening to the ghost guy's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but clench his fists, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, and a trace of killing intent gradually burst out from his eyes.
Looking at Li Wuji with an angry face, the ghost man frowned slightly, and began to look Li Wuji up and down again, secretly figuring out Li Wuji's identity in his heart.
Almost no one in the market knew about the emperor's grandson being imprisoned, and they all thought that he had died in that bloody case fifteen years ago.
"Thank you for telling me, let my people in, the silver is on him."
After stopping for a long time and calming down his mood, he said slowly.
The ghost guy understood and immediately ordered his men to take Dillon into the cave.
At the behest of Li Wuji, Dillon took out five thousand silver tickets and handed them to the ghost guy's men.
"Childe is refreshing, if there is anything else you want to know in the future, please wait for you at any time."
The ghost guy looked at the silver ticket in his hand that still exuded the fragrance of ink, and said with satisfaction.
"If you let a third person know about the conversation between you and me tonight, you should know the consequences."
Li Wuji left a word, no longer lingered, turned around and walked out.
"It is rumored that there are often lonely ghosts and wild ghosts at night on Duanyin Mountain, so it is best to go during the day."
The ghost guy watched the back of Wuji leaving, and kindly admonished.
But Li Wuji no longer paid attention to it, and walked out of the cave with Dillon and left the haunted mansion.
The ghost guy glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, and then at the back of Li Wuji who disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"It seems that this capital city is really going to start to be unpeaceful."
"I just don't know, what is the origin of this person? Could it be the old man of the previous dynasty? ”
...
Early the next morning.
Broken Yin Mountain.
Li Wuji stood at the highest place, looking at the col full of garbage, and his brows never stretched.
Dillon was dozens of Heavenly Privy Agents standing on either side, looking around vigilantly.
Although the capital camp guards blocked the entire capital, only allowed to enter and not to leave, they still found a place where their troops were weak and killed them directly.
Originally, he shouldn't have chosen to take a risk at this time, but a voice in his heart kept telling him that he had to do something.
A disgusting stench constantly wafted out of the col, making it impossible to breathe.
Where else could you tell what was inside, the night incense was piled up everywhere, and occasionally a few bones or skeletons could be seen exposed among the dead grass, but it was impossible to tell which ghost they belonged to.
Li Wuji didn't expect that the dignified prince and princess who left the country would be so violent in the wilderness after their deaths, and no one cared.
At this moment, he unconsciously had an unrelieved hatred for the so-called emperor in the palace.
Recalling the voices and smiles of the crown prince and the crown princess in his memory and dreams, Li Wuji gradually began to tremble, and his eyes began to turn red.
It was as if he sensed some kind of mission that he couldn't put away.
There is also Pang Xun who died in the heavenly prison, if the old man really died because of him, then he must not give up, although there is still a trace of hatred for the old man in his heart.
"Childe, what's next?"
"Do you want to enter the palace before you leave and kill the Empress Xiaoyun directly?!"
Dillon on the side looked at the unsightly col and asked hesitantly.
Leaving Wuji's identity, only Dillon knows among the heavenly slaves.
"It's too cheap to kill her, I want her to pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price, I want her to betray her relatives, and let her lose all the people around her who care and trust a little bit!"
While calming down his excited emotions, Li Wuji gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"No matter what decision the son makes, we are willing to follow him to the death, and there will be no repentance!"
Dillon clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully.
"We are willing to follow to the death! No repentance! ”
The other Heavenly Privy Agents standing on the side also bowed their hands and saluted in unison.
"Good!"
"I want you to find out who the main generals who participated in the suppression of the East Palace back then!"
"Whoever it is, I'm going to make them pay a terrible price!"
Li Wuji nodded and said fiercely, his voice roaring like a beast.
"Yes!"
Dillon nodded heavily.
"Let's set this place on fire."
"Won't come again."
Li Wuji waved his hand and slowly commanded.
Dillon agreed, and immediately led people to pick up some dry branches from all directions, piled them up in the col, and set the whole col on fire with a fire.
"I hope that your souls will also be wiped out with this fire and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
"I swear that I will find out the truth of the year and will not let any innocent person die in vain!"
Li Wuji looked at the fire all over the mountain, and as he spoke, he arched his hands, saluted respectfully to the mountain col, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the capital without a moment's hesitation.
This will be a never-ending showdown.
As he said at the beginning, if all this is a conspiracy of that woman, then what if he takes the throne?!
...
Capital.
Cloud Palace.
"Empress Qiyu, I just received news from Du Yingwei that a fire broke out in the Broken Yin Mountain outside the city, burning almost the entire mountain range."
The Red Fish Guard Commander Ye Han knelt respectfully in the center of the hall and said with a nervous expression.
Listening to Ye Han's words, the face of the empress, who was already expressionless, became more and more ugly.
"A bunch of rubbish! Nearly 2,000 Ling disciples have not found any whereabouts until now! ”
"Inform the Du Yingwei and the Five Elements Division that the three-day period is coming to an end, and if you can't find any clues, you will apologize for the crime with death!"
The empress held the armrest of the couch tightly, and coldly squeezed out two words from between her teeth.
"Yes!"
Ye Han hurriedly agreed, and immediately bowed down.
The empress took a deep breath, dismissed all the palace maids, and sat alone in the main hall, caught up in the memories of the past, with a trace of remorse between her eyebrows.
"Maybe I should have chosen to kill him without hesitation fifteen years ago!"
"If that were the case, it wouldn't be like this now!"
"In this world, it can only be my Ko clan forever, and no one wants to get involved..."
