Haunted house.

"One thousand taels!"

Looking at the hesitant Gui Lao, Li Wuji stretched out a finger and raised his voice.

Hearing Li Wuji open his mouth for a thousand taels, Gui Lao, who was hesitating, couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although he was still apprehensive, what he wanted to say had already reached his lips.

"Five thousand taels!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji stretched out five fingers!

This time, a lot of money was borrowed from the families of the princes and nobles in the capital. The eldest princess's family alone received one hundred thousand taels.

So for him, he has plenty of money!

"Meng Chenru! He was once a staff member of the East Palace and the most trusted person of Prince Lichang!"

"As for whether he is still alive now, I don't know. He seems to have disappeared since that incident."

The ghost man no longer hesitated and blurted out.

Meng Chenru?

Li Wuji recited the name silently twice and tried to remember it in his heart.

"I got five thousand taels in just one sentence. Shouldn't your Majesty give me another gift?"

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment and continued to speak.

"Please tell me."

The ghost guy paused and nodded slowly.

"Do you know where the prince and princess are buried?"

Li Wuji continued to ask.

He knew that if the prince was deemed a traitor and traitor, even if he died, he would never be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Perhaps it was the trace of love that remained in his heart that had nothing to do with him that made him want to go and see them, even if it meant burning incense.

"They don't have a mausoleum, not even a monument."

Hearing Li Wuji's question, Gui Lao couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little helpless.

"Then where are their bones?!"

Li Wuji frowned, showing a hint of surprise.

"Twenty miles north of the capital, Duanyin Mountain!"

The ghost guy sighed and replied.

"Duanyin Mountain? Where is that place?"

Li Wuji asked.

"In mass graves, after those nameless or homeless people die, they will all be thrown there, exposed to the wind and sun, and eaten by wild dogs, and all of them will become lonely ghosts! Do not be reincarnated.

!”

"Not only that, there is also a place where night incense is poured. Night incense is originally fertilizer, but it can also be divided into good and bad. Generally, the low-quality ones will be poured into Duanyin Mountain."

"The bodies of everyone in the East Palace, including the prince and princess, were all thrown there. Even if you look for them now, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."

The ghost guy shook his head helplessly and continued to explain.

After listening to Gui Lao's words, Li Wuji couldn't help clenching his fists. An unknown 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, Gui Lao frowned slightly and began to look at Li Wuji up and down again, secretly trying to figure out Li Wuji's identity.

Almost no one in the public knew that the emperor's grandson was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. They all thought that he had died in that murder fifteen years ago.

"Thank you for telling me. Could you please let my man in? The money is with him."

Li Wuji paused for a long time, and after calming down his mood, he spoke slowly.

Gui Lao understood and immediately ordered his men to take Di Long into the cave.

Under Li Wuji's instruction, Di Long took out five thousand silver notes and handed them to Gui Lao's men.

"My lord, please be happy. If there is anything else you want to know in the future, I'm always at your service."

The ghost guy looked at the banknotes still smelling of ink in his hand and said with satisfaction.

"If the conversation between you and me tonight is known to a third person, you should know the consequences."

Li Wuji left a word, stopped lingering, turned around and walked out.

"It is rumored that lonely ghosts often haunt Duanyin Mountain at night. It is best to go there during the day."

Gui Lao watched Li Wuji leave and gave a kind warning.

But Li Wuji ignored him and led Di Long straight out of the cave and left the haunted house.

Gui Lao glanced at the banknote in his hand, then at Li Wuji's back as he disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and frowned even more.

"It seems like things are really going to be unsettled in this capital city."

"I just don't know where this person comes from? Is he an old man from the previous dynasty?"

...

Early next morning.

Duanyin Mountain.

Li Wuji stood at the highest point, looking at the col with piles of rubbish, his brows never relaxing.

Di Long and dozens of Tianshu secret agents stood on both sides, looking around vigilantly.

Although the Capital Guards had sealed off the entire capital, allowing only entry and no exit, they still found a place where the troops were weak and killed them directly.

Originally, he shouldn't have chosen to take risks at this time, but a voice in his heart kept telling him that he had to do something.

A disgusting stench kept wafting out from the mountain col, making it difficult to breathe.

It's impossible to tell what is what inside. The night incense is piled everywhere. Occasionally, you can see a few bones or skeletons exposed among the withered grass, but you can't tell which dead soul they belong to.

Li Wuji did not expect that the dignified Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Li Kingdom would be buried in the wilderness like this after death, with no one paying attention.

At this moment, he unknowingly felt an unforgettable hatred towards the so-called emperor in the palace.

Recalling the voices and smiles of the prince and princess in his memory and dream, Li Wuji gradually began to tremble all over and his eyes began to turn red.

He seemed to sense some kind of mission that he couldn't give up.

There was also Pang Xun who died in the hell. If the old man really died because of him, then he would never let it go, although there was still a trace of hatred towards the old man in his heart.

"Sir, what are your plans next?"

"Should I rush into the palace and kill Empress Xiaoyun directly before leaving?!"

Di Long on the side looked at the unsightly mountain col and asked hesitantly.

Among the Tiannu, only Di Long knew Li Wuji's identity.

"Killing her is too cheap. I want her to pay a hundred and a thousand times the price. I want her to betray everyone and make her lose everyone who cares and trusts her!"

While calming down his excited emotions, Li Wuji gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

"No matter what the young master decides, we are willing to follow him to the death and will never regret it!"

Di Long clasped his fists in salute and said something respectfully.

"We are willing to follow you to the death! We will never repent!"

The other Tianshu secret agents standing aside also bowed their hands and said in unison.

"good!"

"I want you to find out who were the generals who participated in suppressing the East Palace!"

"No matter who it is, I will make them pay a heavy price!"

Li Wuji nodded and said fiercely, his voice roaring like a wild beast.

"yes!"

Dillon nodded heavily.

"Let's burn this place down."

“Won’t come again.”

Li Wuji waved his hand and gave instructions slowly.

Di Long agreed, and immediately led his people to pick up some dry branches from all directions, piled them in the col, and lit the entire col with a fire.

"I hope your dead souls can be wiped out with this fire and escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible."

"I swear that I will find out the truth and not let any innocent person die in vain!"

Li Wuji looked at the fire all over the mountain. As he spoke, he raised his hands and bowed respectfully to the mountain col. Then he turned around and walked towards the capital without hesitation for a moment.
