Chapter Ninety-Nine: Reminiscing About the Past
There is a short distance from Hoshino Lake to the Taiping Inn in the city, and Mo Qingdi specially hired a four-wheeled carriage in imitation of Western style, which can accommodate four people together.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu sat on one side, and Mo Qingdi and Shi Yu sat opposite them.
To be honest, Zhang Yuelu rarely takes the carriage, because the carriage is too slow, unless he is like Qi Xuansu, he doesn't know the road when he first returns to Yujing, so he needs to take it. Occasionally riding in the carriage, Zhang Yuelu also sat alone, so after she got on the car, she subconsciously wanted to close her eyes and recuperate, and then remembered that there were other people, but she just closed her eyes and opened them immediately.
Qi Xuansu observed the gorgeous decoration inside the carriage and asked, "It costs a lot of money to rent this carriage, right?" β
Mo Qingdi smiled: "It's just a few Taiping dollars, not much." β
Qi Xuansu patted the inner wall of the carriage, which was filled with velvet, and said: "I have a heart, in fact, I have to walk over, although when I was in the Vientiane Dao Palace, there were not many opportunities to go out, but I still remember the way from the Vientiane Dao Palace to the Taiping Inn." β
This is the truth, even if Qi Xuansu forgets it, he also came to Longmen Mansion not long ago, and he remembers it.
Qi Xuansu continued: "I still remember that at that time, we sneaked out of the Vientiane Dao Palace, played hard for a day, and after we went back, we would inevitably be punished, at least we would skip meals and do rough work, and at worst we would be beaten up, so we had to go to the Taiping Inn to have a big meal before we went back, and it was also jokingly called 'decapitated rice'." After going back, whether you are hungry to work or beaten, you can bear it if you have food in your stomach. β
Mo Qingdi also had a smile on his face: "At that time, there was no money, so a few of us could only scrape together some wishful money to buy the cheapest wide noodles, and every time we ate the soup and noodles cleanly, we almost licked the bowl." I still remember that taste, and I'll have to taste it again when I get to the inn later. β
Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu and gently patted the back of her hand: "Qingxiao, you will never experience such an experience in your life." β
Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly, and did not deny it.
Shi Yu took the opportunity to ask, "Qingxiao, is it your first time coming to Longmen Mansion?" β
Zhang Yuelu shook her head: "It's not the first time, in fact, not long ago, I just came once." β
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and glanced sideways at Qi Xuansu: "It was at the invitation of the Wuxu Palace to investigate Wan Xiuwu's case." β
Of course, she wouldn't say that she was actually chasing Wei Wugui.

Ran said: "Lao Wan's case has been solved? β
As she spoke, she still couldn't help but look at Qi Xuansu. These classmates all know what happened back then, Qi Xuansu and Wan Xiuwu had a holiday, and Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu have such a relationship, what does 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." β
During this period of time, as long as it is a person in the Daomen, they have heard about the matter of Jinling Mansion, and the newspaper also roughly explains the cause and process of this case, although in essence, this is a continuation of the Jiangnan case a few years ago, but there is no substantive evidence, but it cannot be said directly, it can only be traced back to the source from Zixian Mountain.
Shi Yu and Mo Qingdi glanced at each other and asked cautiously, "Qingxiao, you and Lao Qi are from Jinling Mansion?" β
Zhang Yuelu nodded.
Mo Qingdi asked again: "Is it true that the Di newspaper said that Si Ming Zhenjun came to Jinling Mansion?" β
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly: "When Qingxiao and I were closest to Si Ming Zhenjun, it was only about two hundred zhang. To be honest, it is really immortal might, if it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements from Tiangang Hall, at least half of Jinling Mansion would have turned into a dead city. β
Shi Yu couldn't help but stumble: "No wonder you rose so fast, it's all all fought for your life." β
Qi Xuansu didn't answer and fell into silence.
Mo Qingdi changed the topic: "Lao Qi, I thought you wouldn't come, it's not that you don't recognize old friends when you are developed, but the things back then were very unpleasant, although Wan Xiuwu deserved to die, but Yue Liuli was still there, and this alumni meeting was also led by her." β
Qi Xuansu did not hide it, and said bluntly: "We are all old acquaintances, and I will say some things bluntly, if it was me back then, of course I would not humiliate myself, and when I saw her Yue Liuli, maybe I would have to go around." But now it's different, Yue Liuli suspects that I killed Wan Xiuwu, if I avoid it, it will seem weak-hearted, and I have to come. β
Shi Yuxin said bluntly: "Yue Liuli suspects that you are a murderer?" β
Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "It is written very clearly in the case file. β
Daomen is different from Confucianism, it has always advocated the presumption of innocence, and the defendant does not have the obligation to prove his innocence, Yue Liuli suspected Qi Xuansu, but there was no evidence, but Qi Xuansu had the proof of Ziweitang and Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and it was not even a suspected crime, and Tiangangtang informed Qi Xuansu of this content, which did not violate the rules

Shi Yu was speechless.
She couldn't understand what Yue Liuli thought, and told Zhang Yuelu that Qi Xuansu had killed Wan Xiuwu, what was the difference between this and who in the hall sued the official?
In fact, this can't be blamed on Yue Liuli, at that time, the Wuxu Palace transferred the case to Tiangang Hall on the grounds that Wan Xiuwu might have died at the hands of the demons of the Secret Society. According to reason, this kind of small case can be dealt with by any deputy hall master, at that time, Zhang Yuelu happened not to be in Tiangang Hall, but to exterminate the Lingshan Witch Sect outside, and he couldn't get in touch with this case, so he just bypassed Zhang Yuelu, but who would have thought that Cihang Zhenren somehow personally interrogated the case, and then handed it over to Zhang Yuelu.
This has become the Wuxu Palace, where it lifts a stone and shoots itself in the foot.
Mo Qingdi hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Lao Qi, Lao Wan's matter...... Does it have anything to do with you? β
Qi Xuansu said without changing his face: "It has nothing to do with me." β
What does the person killed by Wei Wugui have to do with me Qi Xuansu?
Mo Qingdi's mood was a little complicated, he supported his old friend's revenge, but he didn't want his old friend to be so murderous, it was best to use the right way, so after hearing Qi Xuansu's answer, he was a little relieved.
It's no wonder that Mo Qingdi, after all, Mo Qingdi has been under the protection of the Daomen, and he has not participated in the internal fighting inside the Daomen, he has not experienced the wind and rain, and he holds the pen on weekdays, so he will always be a little naΓ―ve.
But Qi Xuansu is different, I don't know whether to say that he is unlucky, or whether to say that he has a special experience, he has experienced all the dark things, first in the Dragon and Tiger Society, Yue Liuli, Wan Xiuwu calculated, almost died, and then experienced the master being besieged and killed by hired assassins, as for the later experience of the rivers and lakes, he held the handle of the knife, and he was covered in mud, and then such as Li Hongwen, the magistrate of Fengtai County, was destroyed by the Manmen, the "inn" assassin attacked and killed Zhang Yuelu, the Yuan family was wiped out, and the night attack on Zhenwuguan I don't know how much. How can he believe in the so-called rules? The two have long been very different in their thinking.
While speaking, the carriage slowly stopped, and the Taiping Inn arrived.
The four got out of the carriage.
Qi Xuansu looked at Yue Liuli, who was standing at the door and waiting, and smiled slightly.
In fact, when Qi Xuansu was in the Vientiane Dao Palace, he spoke nicely, low-key and introverted, and said it ugly, he was withdrawn, but in fact, his popularity was not good, and he didn't have many sincere friends. If it weren't for this Dragon Society leader, he really wouldn't be happy to come.
