Chapter 99 Reminiscing the Past
There is a long distance from Xingye Lake to the Taiping Inn in the city. Mo Qingdi specially hired a Western-style four-wheel carriage that can accommodate four people.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu sat on one side, while Mo Qingdi and Shi Yu sat opposite them.
To be honest, Zhang Yuelu rarely rides in a carriage because it is too slow. Unless, like Qi Xuansu, he doesn't know the way when he first returned to Yujing, it is necessary to ride. Occasionally, Zhang Yuelu would sit alone in a carriage, so after getting on the carriage, she subconsciously wanted to close her eyes and rest her mind. Then she remembered that there were others, so she closed her eyes and opened them immediately.
Qi Xuansu observed the gorgeous decoration inside the carriage and asked, "Isn't it expensive to rent this carriage?"
Mo Qingdi smiled: "It's just a few peace coins, not much."
Qi Xuansu patted the inner wall of the carriage, which was actually filled with velvet, and said: "If I'm determined, it's okay for me to walk over there. Although I didn't have many opportunities to go out when I was in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, I still remember that I came from Wanxiang Taoist Palace." The road from Daogong to Taiping Inn.”
This is the truth. Even if Qi Xuansu forgot, he had been to Longmen Mansion not long ago and still remembered it.
Qi Xuansu continued: "I still remember that we sneaked out from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and played hard all day long. After we went back, we would not be punished, ranging from not eating to doing rough work to being slapped on the board, so we had to do it before we went back. We went to the Taiping Inn to have a big meal, which we jokingly called 'death meal'. After returning home, whether we were hungry and working, or we were beaten, we would be able to bear it if we had food in our stomachs."
Mo Qingdi also had a smile on his face: "There was no money at that time, so the few of us could only scrape together some lucky money to buy the cheapest wide noodles. Every time we ate all the soup and noodles, we only had to lick the bowl. Yes. I still remember the taste. I will try it again when I get to the inn. "
Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu and gently patted the back of her hand: "Qingxiao, you will never experience this kind of experience in your lifetime."
Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly and did not deny it.
Shi Yu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Qingxiao, is this your first time coming to Longmen Mansion?"
Zhang Yuelu shook his head: "It's not the first time. In fact, I just came here not long ago."
At this point, she paused slightly and glanced sideways at Qi Xuansu: "It was at the invitation of Wuxu Palace to investigate Wan Xiuwu's case."
Of course she wouldn't say that she was actually chasing Wei Wugui.
Shi Yu was surprised

Ran said: "Lao Wan's case has been solved?"
While speaking, she still couldn't help but look at Qi Xuansu. These classmates all knew what happened back then. Qi Xuansu had a feud with Wan Xiuwu, and Zhang Yuelu had such a relationship with Qi Xuansu. What did Qi Xuansu think?
Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "This case is just the beginning, and then I was transferred to Zixian Mountain to investigate the case."
During this period of time, everyone in the Taoist sect has heard about the incident in Jinling Mansion. The Di newspaper also roughly explained the cause and course of the case, although in essence, it was a report of the major Jiangnan case a few years ago. Continuation, but there is no substantial evidence, but we cannot say so directly. We can only trace the origin from Zixian Mountain.
Shi Yu and Mo Qingdi looked at each other and asked cautiously: "Qingxiao, are you and Lao Qi coming from Jinling Mansion?"
Zhang Yuelu nodded.
Mo Qingdi asked again: "The Di newspaper said that Lord Siming came to Jinling Mansion, is it true?"
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly: "When Qingxiao and I were closest to Lord Siming, we were only about 200 feet away. To be honest, it was so powerful. If the reinforcements from Tiangang Hall hadn't arrived in time, at least half of Jinling Mansion would have been destroyed. A city of death.”
Shi Yu couldn't help but exclaimed: "No wonder you guys rose so fast, you all risked your lives to do it."
Qi Xuansu did not answer and fell into silence.
Mo Qingdi changed the subject: "Old Qi, I thought you wouldn't come. It's not that you don't recognize your old friends when you become rich, but that things were very unpleasant back then. Although Wan Xiuwu deserved his death, , but Yue Liuli is still here, and she will take the lead in this class reunion."
Qi Xuansu did not hide anything and said bluntly: "We are all old acquaintances, so I will speak frankly about some things. If it were me back then, of course I would not humiliate myself. When I met her, Yue Liuli, I might even Go around. But things are different now. Yue Liuli suspects that I caused Wan Xiuwu's death. If I avoid him, it will appear guilty and I have to come."
Shi Yuxin said bluntly: "Yue Liuli suspects that you are the murderer?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "It's very clear in the case file."
The Taoist sect is different from the Confucian sect. It has always advocated the presumption of innocence. The accused does not have the obligation to prove his innocence. Yue Liuli suspected Qi Xuansu, but there was no evidence. Instead, Qi Xuansu had the proof of Ziweitang and Wanshou Chongyang Palace. , it’s not even a suspected crime. It’s not against the rules for Tiangangtang to inform Qi Xuansu of this aspect.

.
Shi Yu was speechless.
She couldn't understand what Yue Liuli was thinking. What was the difference between telling Zhang Yuelu that Qi Xuansu had killed Wan Xiuwu and someone in the hall suing me?
Actually, this can't be blamed on Yue Liuli. At that time, Wuxu Palace transferred the case to Tiangang Hall on the grounds that Wan Xiuwu might have died at the hands of a secret society demon. Logically speaking, this kind of small case can be handled by any deputy hall master. At that time, Zhang Yuelu was not in Tiangang Hall, but was outside to eliminate the Lingshan witch cult, so he could not get involved in this case. In this way, Zhang Yuelu was bypassed. But who would have thought that Cihang Zhenren somehow personally asked about this case and then handed it over to Zhang Yuelu.
This turned into Wuxu Palace shooting itself in the foot.
Mo Qingdi hesitated for a while and whispered: "Old Qi, does Old Wan's matter... have anything to do with you?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "It has nothing to do with me."
What does the person killed by "Golden Wrong Knife" Wei Wugui have to do with me, Qi Xuansu?
Mo Qingdi felt a little complicated. He supported his old friend's revenge, but he didn't want his old friend to be so murderous. It would be best to put it in a legitimate way. Therefore, after hearing Qi Xuansu's answer, he felt relieved.
This is not Mo Qingdi's fault. After all, Mo Qingdi has always been under the protection of the Taoist sect, and has not participated in the internal strife of the Taoist sect. He has not experienced the wind and rain. He usually holds a pen, so he is always naive.
But Qi Xuansu is different. I don't know whether to say that he is unlucky or that he has a special experience. He has experienced all those dark things. First, he was plotted by Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu in the Dragon and Tiger Society and almost died. He also experienced his master being surrounded and killed by hired assassins. As for the later experience in the rivers and lakes, he held the knife handle and was covered in mud. Later, he saw so many things such as the magistrate of Fengtai County Li Hongwen being wiped out, the assassins of the "inn" attacked and killed Zhang Yuelu, the Yuan family was wiped out, and the night attack on Zhenwu Temple. How can he believe in the so-called rules? The two people's ideas have long been different.
As they talked, the carriage slowly stopped and Taiping Inn arrived.
The four people got off the carriage.
Qi Xuansu looked at Yue Liuli who was waiting at the door and smiled slightly.
In fact, when Qi Xuansu was in Wanxiang Dao Palace, to put it nicely, he was low-key and introverted, to put it bluntly, he was a loner. In fact, he was not popular and had few true friends. If it weren't for the leader of the Dragon Society, he really wouldn't be willing to come.
