Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 85 Dealing with Ghosts
Hearing Su's words, Li Danchen was a little shocked, he couldn't believe it: "What the girl said is true? I did this because I lost a soul?"

Although it was a questioning tone, he obviously did not doubt the authenticity of Diansu's words, but was too surprised to accept it for a while.

Dian Su didn't say much, she knew that Li Danchen would not question her.

After all, Li Danchen also invited a lot of shady people before, and although he couldn't find a solution, he actually knew his own situation well.

Otherwise, there are at least a hundred people in Yinzhou, and it is impossible for Li Danchen to beg her so humbly instead of looking for someone else.

Sure enough, Li Danchen quickly accepted this fact, but a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Apparently it was because of a moment of impatience that he couldn't hide his emotions well.

Dian Su didn't miss this flaw, and at the same time became more and more sure of his guess - there must be a powerful character behind Li Danchen.

"Since Miss Diansu can find out the crux of the matter, is there any way to solve it? Is it to summon the soul?"

Li Danchen's tone was low, with a bit of haste, "If you need anything, just tell me, and Li will be ready to deliver it!"

"As long as Ms. Diansu can solve this matter for me, Li is willing to give half of his family wealth as a reward!"

The Li family's financial strength is not to mention the first in Lin'an County, at least no one can match it in Huai'an Mansion, giving up half of it is already very rich.

Dian Su just shook his head.

"There is no rush for the summoning of the soul, and there is no need to decide on the reward at this time."

"I would like to know more about where the mahogany hairpin on Mr. Li's head came from."

Before Li Danchen could speak, Dian Su added: "Mr. Li is a smart man, he knows what I want to ask. If Mr. Li still uses that set of rhetoric to fool me, then please leave. You don't need to say anything after that." There is no need to come in the future.”

Hearing the words, the prince also set his eyes on Li Danchen, waiting for his answer.

Although he can't help in this kind of matter, it is still possible to drive someone away.

Li Danchen hesitated, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, obviously he was thinking whether to tell the truth or not.

Seeing that Li Danchen's heart had loosened a bit, Diansu added more fire without haste, "Young Master Li, it's better to answer truthfully, you have come to the door several times, and you have come to beg me for a hand even at the risk of offending the Crown Prince. It must be clear about my current situation and that I can’t procrastinate any longer. If I don’t understand the reason, I don’t know how to summon the soul, even if I want to save you, I can’t find a way to do it, and it will only be futile in the end.”

This is not a threat.

If Li Danchen's soul has been detained by someone, or has been swallowed by ghosts long ago, no matter how many soul-calling rituals are performed, it will be useless.

Li Danchen saw that Su Yan's sternness did not seem to be fake, so he gritted his teeth and chose to believe her.

"I carved this hairpin myself, but the mahogany wood was given to me by an expert. I don't know the origin of the mahogany wood."

Dian Su was not surprised by this answer.

If Li Danchen had the ability to get Taomu from the ghost market, he wouldn't lose his own soul. After three years of procrastination, he began to seek medical advice everywhere.

She patiently followed his words and asked, "Who is the master Mr. Li is talking about?"

"This, oh..."

Li Danchen rubbed his forehead, as if his strength had been drained, he fell down on the mahogany chair.

It wasn't until this moment that the disguise on his body was completely torn apart. He looked sluggish, without a trace of energy, his face no longer had the calmness of the past, and the smile that had been hanging on his lips all year round also disappeared.

The brows and eyes that originally made people feel like a spring breeze were stained with gloom, which made people feel a little pitiful.

Perhaps, this is his real appearance.

"Things have to start five years ago..."

Li Danchen recounted the incident in detail, telling the whole story about meeting that expert and the peach wood hairpin.

At that time, Li Danchen and Qi Ruyu had only been married for less than a year, and their relationship was not bad.

The Li family used to make a fortune selling rice, but later they gradually shifted their focus to tea and cloth because of this. In these two businesses, if you make a fortune, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose, you will lose your fortune.

So Li Danchen has always been cautious and handled all the important things by himself, but he didn't expect that something went wrong in the end.

A batch of tea leaves they sent to the state were tampered with, and those tea leaves happened to be taken out to entertain the nobles in the capital. The nobles immediately became angry and threatened to severely punish those involved.

In any case, that batch of tea leaves came from the Li family's shop. If this was found out, wouldn't the Li family be ruined?
Li Danchen heard the news and knew something was wrong, so he begged for help everywhere, trying to save the Li family's foundation.But how could anyone dare to intervene in this kind of head-losing matter?

Just when Li Danchen was desperate, that expert appeared.

He said that he had a way to solve this problem, and saved the lives of hundreds of people in the Li family. In exchange, Li Danchen had to use his own blood as a sacrifice and set up a longevity tablet for him.

Although Li Danchen didn't understand profound arts, he also knew that decent gods would not sacrifice blood.

But he had no choice at all.

If they don't agree, the Li family is afraid that they will end up beheaded all over the house.

In order to survive and keep the Li family, Li Danchen had no choice but to agree, and set up a longevity tablet according to the request of the master, and enshrined it every day.

Sure enough, the Li family was preserved in this incident, but the family of the opponent who framed him was confiscated.Since then, the Li family's business has grown bigger and bigger.

Because of this, Li Danchen was very grateful to the master. When he received the mahogany gift from the master, he immediately regarded it as a treasure, and made a mahogany hairpin for his wife to wear every day.

Not only that, he also gave the rest of the mahogany to Yu Banxian according to the master's wishes, so that more people can receive the blessings of the master.

But he never expected that his wife would be lingering on the sick bed since then, without any improvement, and she would pass away two months later!
And those who got the mahogany also had accidents one by one, and the situation of their wives was exactly the same!
Li Danchen didn't realize that something was wrong until then, he guessed that there was something wrong with the mahogany tree, and realized that he killed his wife with his own hands, and even killed so many innocent people, so he questioned the master why he did this when he made the confession.

Although he is a businessman, he is not an unscrupulous profiteer, at least he will not be ambiguous when it comes to matters involving human life.

If this expert is really an evil ghost who kills without batting an eye, not only will he not make offerings for him again, but he will also ask the celestial master to accept him!
Unexpectedly, the expert said it was all for Li Danchen's benefit.

Li Danchen should have been imprisoned for the matter of the tea back then, and the Li family would also have fallen.

But in order to save Li Danchen, he used forbidden techniques to change his life against the sky, not only saved Li Danchen's life, but also made Li's family prosperous, so that now that he was punished by heaven, he had to use this method as a last resort.

Li Danchen couldn't accept all this at all, so he broke with the expert, smashed the memorial tablet, and never made another confession.

Since then, that expert has never appeared again.

It was also from then on that he began to feel unwell and was often in a trance. After three years of recuperation with drugs, he barely survived. Now the situation is getting worse and worse, so he had to do everything possible to ask Diansu to come here.

After listening to Li Danchen's words, both Diansu and Shizi remained silent, only feeling deeply moved in their hearts.

Let’s say that Li Danchen’s crimes are extremely heinous, but he has been honest and responsible in doing business for so many years, he has never shoddy good ones, and he often gives porridge and food to the poor. reason.

If it is said that Li Danchen had no choice but to watch his wife die and so many people being killed, he knew who the murderer was, but he let it go, watched all of this happen, and even enjoyed the exchange of their lives The wealth and safety of her, and now she is still shyly begging her to continue her life...

For a while, I really didn't know what to say.
