It was a long distance from Xingye Lake to the Taiping Inn in the city. Mo Qingdi specially hired a four-wheeled carriage imitating Western style, which could 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 the carriage is too slow. Unless, like Qi Xuansu, he doesn't know the way when he just returned to Yujing, it is necessary to ride. Occasionally, Zhang Yuelu rides in a carriage alone, so she gets on the carriage.
After that, I subconsciously wanted to close my eyes and rest my mind, but then I remembered that there were other people, so I just closed my 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 coming from Wanxiang.
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 returned, we had to be punished. At the most, we were not allowed to eat and did menial work, and at most, we had to be 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 we returned home, whether we were working hungry or being beaten, we could 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 have to taste it again when I get to the inn later."
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 said in surprise: "Lao Wan's case has been solved?"
While speaking, she still couldn't help but look at Qi Xuansu. They and their classmates all knew what happened back then. Qi Xuansu had an affair 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 major case in Jiangnan a few years ago.
It continues, but there is no substantial evidence, so we can’t really say that. 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 two hundred 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 originally thought you wouldn't come. It's not that you won'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 there."
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, I would naturally not humiliate myself. When I met 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 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. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu had the proof from Ziweitang and Wanshou Chongyang Palace.
, it’s not even a suspected crime. Tiangangtang informed Qi Xuansu of this aspect, which was not against the rules.
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?
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Yue Liuli. At that time, Wuxu Palace sent the case to Tiangang Hall on the grounds that Wan Xiuwu might have died at the hands of a secret society demon. Logically speaking, for such a small case, any deputy hall could
The Lord can handle it. Zhang Yuelu happened to be away from Tiangang Hall at that time, but was out to exterminate the Lingshan Witch Cult. He had no way of contacting this case. He just bypassed Zhang Yuelu, but who would have thought that Master Cihang somehow personally intervened in this case and then handed it over to him?
Gave it to Zhang Yuelu.
This turned into Wuxu Palace shooting itself in the foot.
Mo Qingdi hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Lao Qi, does Lao Wan's matter... have anything to do with you?"
Qi Xuan said without changing his expression: "It has nothing to do with me."
What does the person Wei Wugui killed with the "Golden Crossed Sword" 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 pursue it through legal channels. After hearing Qi Xuansu's answer, he felt a little relieved.
This is no wonder Mo Qingdi, after all, Mo Qingdi has always been under the protection of Taoism, has never experienced wind and rain, and usually holds a pen, so he will always be a little naive.
But Qi Xuansu is different. I don’t know whether to say he is unlucky or that he has a special experience. He has experienced all the dark things. First, he was plotted by Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu in Longhu Club, and then he experienced
The master was surrounded and killed by hired assassins. As for his subsequent experiences in the world, he was holding a knife and was covered in mud. Later, for example, Li Hongwen, the magistrate of Fengtai County, was wiped out, Zhang Yuelu was attacked and killed, and the Yuan family was wiped out.
, I don’t know how many things like the night attack on the Zhenwu Temple, how can he believe in the so-called rules? The two people’s ideas are already very different.
While talking, the carriage slowly stopped and Taiping Inn arrived.
Four people got out of the carriage.
Qi Xuansu looked at Yue Liuli who was waiting at the door and smiled slightly.
In fact, when Qi Xuansu was in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, he was low-key and restrained to put it nicely, and withdrawn to put it badly. In fact, his popularity was not good and he had few true friends. If it weren't for this leader of the Dragon Society, he would really not be the best person.
