This monk is a bit mean

"The current emperor?" Yun Shu asked in surprise.

"No one else has the power to kill the entire family of a third-rank official in the imperial court, not to mention two of them."

"He also killed and captured almost the entire Dragon Snake Gang. No one else could have done this except the current emperor."

Cai Laosi analyzed to Yunshu.

Although he was not a member of the officialdom, he could still understand such a simple truth.

"Then why did he do this?" Yun Shu asked.

"I don't know either. I just know it's because of the man in black from Shen Dahai's side." Cai Laosi said.

"It's that man in black again. Why on earth could he make the current emperor kill people for him without any scruples?" Yun Shu asked.

"I don't know. I only know that all the members of the Dragon Snake Gang who had seen the true face of the man in black were killed, and those who had not been locked up here." Cai Laosi replied.

"Haven't you seen it too?" Yun Shu was puzzled.

"Shh! Brother Qiang, I managed to get away with it with great difficulty, please don't kill me!" Cai Laosi glanced around, afraid that someone would hear what Yunshu had just said.

"You lied to them and said that you..." Yun Shu only said half of the sentence.

Cai Laosi nodded at him frantically.

"Little Baldhead, do you want to know the truth of the matter?"

At this time, a hoarse voice came from behind Yunshu and Cai Laosi.

Yunshu turned around and saw a dishevelled, white-haired man sitting on the ground, smiling sinisterly at them in the crowd.

Yun Shu looked at Cai Lao Si and whispered, "Is this someone from your gang?"

Cai Lao Si looked at it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have never seen it before."

"No need to guess. I'm not a member of the Dragon Snake Gang. I was locked up here before this group of people were caught." The old man said to Yun Shu from a distance.

"Come here and talk." Yunshu called the old man over.

The old man shook his head, propped himself up with his hands, and then showed his lower limbs which were broken at the knees, leaving only the thighs.

"You, and you, carry the old man over here." Seeing the old man's miserable fate, Cai Laosi called two of his men to carry him over.

"Old man, who are you? What did you mean by that sentence just now? What is truth and falsehood?" asked Cai Laosi.

"You are so rude!" The old man rolled his eyes at Cai Laosi and then stared at Yun Shu.

"If I don't call you old man, should I call you old woman?" Cai Laosi was a little impatient.

"What's your name, old sir?" Yun Shu clasped his fists and smiled.

"Look at those young people, how polite they are. Do you know how to call them old gentleman? What old man, old woman?" The old man retorted to Cai Laosi.

Cai Laosi still wanted to get angry.

After being glared at by Yunshu, he became obedient.

The old man smiled at Cai Laosi, then turned to look at Yun Shu and said, "If I remember correctly, your name should be Pei Dongsheng."

Yunshu looked at Cai Laosi.

Cai Laosi shook his head.

"Hello Mr. Pei, why are you being held here? How long have you been held here?" Yun Shu chatted politely.

Build a good relationship first, then you can ask him the questions he wants to know.

"I have been imprisoned here for sixteen years. What is the reason? Probably because I know something about the current emperor." Pei Dongsheng replied.

"Are these things you know related to the truth you just told?" Yun Shu guessed.

"In ancient times, people had an idiom called 'extremely smart'. It seems that your bald head was not shaved in vain." Pei Dongsheng stared at Yun Shu's bald head and smiled.

"I got it right?"

"Guessed it right."

"It's a pity that you don't know what's inside." Pei Dongsheng said.

Yunshu knew that the other party would not tell him about the current emperor for no reason.

This old man must be negotiating terms with Yunshu.

Yun Shu said directly: "You set the conditions."

Pei Dongsheng was slightly surprised at first, then shook his head and smiled.

He said, "First, you have to help me find someone."

"who?"

"A woman."

"Tsk!" Cai Laosi was very disdainful.

Yunshu told Cai Laosi to get out.

Cai Laosi had no choice but to return to the crowd in disappointment.

Only Yunshu and Pei Dongsheng were left in the corner.

"What kind of woman?" Yun Shu continued to ask.

"Her surname is Tian. She escaped from the capital sixteen years ago while pregnant." Pei Dongsheng said.

"What else? With this feature, no one can find it."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should return to the capital this year, and bring her son with her."

"The conditions are still not met, so I can't find it!" Yun Shu shook his head.

"Her son's last name is Li!"

Pei Dongsheng finished speaking and stared at Yun Shu.

Yun Shu was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

Then he said to Pei Dongsheng seriously: "I promise you, I will find this woman."

"The second condition is to kill someone!" Pei Dongsheng gritted his teeth and put forward the second condition.

"You should be able to see that I'm a monk and this condition cannot be met." Yun Shu said with his hands clasped together.

"Then change the condition and let me see Tian's son." Pei Dongsheng sighed.

"Are there any more conditions?"

Pei Dongsheng first shook his head, then lowered his head and thought for a long time.

Finally, he looked up as if he had made the most painful decision.

Although it was painful, Yun Shu could see the desire in Pei Dongsheng's eyes.

"If possible, I would like to ask you to help me find someone." Pei Dongsheng's voice began to tremble when he said this.

"who?"

"A girl. Sixteen years ago, she must have been only four years old."

"Who is she to you?" Yun Shu asked.

Pei Dongsheng said as if he had exhausted all his strength: "My daughter..."

"I agree to all three conditions. I can guarantee that I can complete the first two conditions. As for the third condition, I promise to do my best, but I cannot guarantee that I can accomplish it."

Yun Shu clasped his hands together and explained to Pei Dongsheng seriously.

Pei Dongsheng raised his head, his pair of black eyes staring at the ceiling of the cell for countless days and nights.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "In this vast sea of ​​people, life and death are unpredictable..."

"That's all, Master. Just do your best!"

"Amitabha." Yunshu chanted the Buddha's name.

“This story started more than 20 years ago.”

Pei Dongsheng began to tell what he knew.

"More than 20 years ago, the Central Plains was not yet the Li Dynasty."

"Li's father, General Li Hao, was the most famous general in the world at that time, and was known as the invincible general."

"But you have to know that there is an idiom since ancient times, which is that the achievements are greater than the master."

"General Li Hao's reputation aroused the jealousy of the previous emperor, so the previous emperor found an excuse to recall Li Hao, who was fighting at the border, to the court."

"In the end, the foolish and incompetent emperor of the previous dynasty used a cup of poisoned wine to end the life of the invincible general Li Hao."

"General Li Hao had three sons. After they received the bad news from the capital, they raised the banner of rebellion and led 30,000 Li's troops to attack the capital."

"Li Hao's three sons are: the former emperor Li Tianxing, the current emperor Li Tiangu, and the Northwest Jin'an King Li Tianyang."
