Chapter 213 Qian Qi
Cai Yan was still drinking the soup, a little absent-minded. Mu Kuangda said: "There is another happy event I originally prepared today."
"Also?" Yao Fu had already made a move. Unexpectedly, Mu Kuangda was still waiting here to make a comeback and said, "Secret Mu, don't make fun of everyone."
Mu Kuangda replied: "In fact, it's not a happy event, but he just found an old friend."
Duan Ling thought that Mu Kuangda's killer move had finally arrived.
"Old friend?" Cai Yan suddenly realized something was wrong. He did not look at Mu Kuangda, but immediately glanced at Duan Ling.
Duan Ling turned his head and whispered to Mu Qing.
"Wu Du and I will leave the seat for a while later," Duan Ling said.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qing asked.
Duan Ling replied: "I'll go and have a drink with Mr. Fei Hongde. Do me a favor..."
Mu Qing knew that Fei Hongde came from Yecheng, but after he came, he didn't talk much to Duan Ling. He thought to himself that maybe Duan Ling had less time with Fei Hongde to avoid suspicion. Since it was a Mid-Autumn Festival night, he couldn't say that he would go and see him.
At this moment, Chang Liujun took an old man to the garden. Duan Ling keenly caught a glimpse of the man that was Qian Qi!
Qian Qi was indeed still alive. After being taken back to Jiangzhou by Changliujun, he lived in the Mu Mansion. He secretly guessed that this person was mostly related to the prince's past.
Chang Liujun said: "Please please here."
"Where is it? Where is the child you mentioned?" Qian Qi could no longer look at his eyes, so he raised his hand and touched it.
When the incident suddenly started, Cai Yan hadn't reacted yet. In Duan Ling's eyes, he immediately knew that Cai Yan was about to finish.
"Do your Highness recognize him?" Mu Kuangda said with a smile.
Cai Yan was immediately stopped asking, and was flustered for a moment. He recalled that he had been to Beijing before, but only remembered that there was no such person. After a brief silence, Feng Duo smiled and said, "Is it your highness's old knowledge? Where did you find this person?"
"Luoyan City." Mu Kuangda replied, "It's been a long time since the events of that year. I have spent a lot of time visiting Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places. When I arrived at Luoyan City, I found him."
At this time, Cai Yan faced an extremely difficult choice - should he deny it completely, or should he just recognize it? In a short moment, Cai Yan made a decision, pretended to realize it, and said, "Isn't this what I was in Shangjing back then..."
"Who are you?" Qian Qi said in a daze.
"This one is Xunyang in the past," Chang Liujun stood up, walked behind Mu Kuangda and knelt down, saying, "The old man who took out wontons in Duanjiaxiang, Mu Xiang learned that His Highness liked to eat his wontons the most when he was a child, so he specially found him."
Cai Yan looked back at Lang Junxia, smiled, nodded and said, "It's true, it's true."
"This bowl of wontons just now was made by this old man." Mu Kuangda said with a smile, "Does Your Highness still remember his name?"
In an instant, the table was silent, and Cai Yan had to smile awkwardly and said, "There were wars everywhere back then, and after many twists and turns, I gradually couldn't remember it."
Lang Junxia never said a word.
"I'm Qigong." Qian Qi said tremblingly, "You Qian Qigong, Duan Ling, do you still remember me?"
Qian Qi reached out to hold Cai Yan's hand, but Cai Yan was full of anxiety and fear, and forced a smile: "Qigong, long time no see you."
Everyone looked at this scene in silence.
"Do you know what happened after you left that night?" Qian Qi said.
"After leaving, I didn't go back." Cai Yan sighed, "How is the Duan family going?"
"Just the night you left, you were burned by a fire." Qian Qi said, "The Duan family was killed all over the place."
Duan Ling: "..."
Cai Yan: “…”
Cai Yan didn't dare to ask too much, just because he was afraid that he would make many mistakes. However, Qian Qi couldn't help but sigh, and Cai Yan had to answer, "Who?"
"I don't know." Qian Qi said, "They all said that you are the child of a high-ranking official and have lived a good life with your father. Some people also said that your father was so angry that the Duan family abused you, and they had to do this ruthless move. The forty-seven people in the Duan family were buried in the sea of fire together."
"Why?" Duan Ling suddenly spoke.
Qian Qi heard Duan Ling's voice, but Duan Ling had already changed his voice, no longer the clear voice he used to be when he was a child. Duan Ling asked Qian Qi, but his eyes were stopped on Lang Junxia's face. Among everyone present, only Duan Ling and Lang Junxia knew who the person who killed the Duan family was.
There was no one else except Lang Junxia. He still remembered that on that snowy night, he felt that Lang Junxia's clothes were baked very dry and had a burnt smell.
"Do your highness come back to the front of Duan?" Duan Ling asked suddenly.
"My mother's surname is Duan." Cai Yanchao and others said, "I parted with my father in the north and returned to Xunyang and gave birth to me. Later, Uluohoumu came to pick me up and brought me back to Shangjing to meet my father."
Everyone nodded, and Cai Yan said again: "Seventh Duke has worked hard on the way. Feng Duo, you must make arrangements for the seventh Duke."
Feng Duo understood and wanted to take Qian Qi down, but Qian Qi said, "Duan Ling, do you still remember that year you climbed out of the wall and broke your leg. Did Qi Gong pick you up?"
"Remember." Cai Yan held Qian Qi's hand and said, "I lie on the bed for a few days later."
"The Duan family won't treat you, and there is no medicine," Qian Qi said. "You were locked in the woodshed and thought you couldn't survive. Fortunately, the child named Wang Xiao of the Wang family bought sesame cakes and secretly handed them in from outside the woodshed to you. You are still lucky, but you have not suffered any disease..."
"Yes." Cai Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a sin, it's a sin." Qian Qi said, "The Duan family has also committed sin. When you treat you like this, your mother often asks the maid to buy the old man's wontons..."
"Your Highness is tired." Feng Duo felt more and more inappropriate as he heard it. He was afraid that Cai Yan would be jammed out again, so he hurriedly said, "Let's do this tonight, wait until Your Highness clears up and then slowly reminisce about the past."
"I'll go back to the palace first." Cai Yan said, "I'll ask for advice."
After saying that Cai Yanjing stood up, he didn't say much, but nodded to everyone, Feng Duo and Lang Junxia escorted Cai Yan back. There was still half a bowl of unfinished wontons on the table, which was already cold.
Duan Ling and Mu Qing stood up and left the seat. Mu Kuangda only took a look and did not ask much. They must have gone to drink alone. Wu Du turned his head and looked at him.
"Closing the garden." Mu Kuangda said, "My lords, I still have some discussions. Wu Du, you can stay."
Wu Du was about to leave with Duan Ling, but heard this and had to sit down again.
"Wu Du, you are an insider in the matter. Tell me about the process." Mu Kuangda sighed and said, "It's better to give you an explanation. When the prince returned to the court, you finally finalized his identity. Now that I find something strange, the person who will solve the bell is."
Wu Du frowned slightly, and thought for a long time, knowing that Mu Kuangda didn't plan to speak by himself, he was extremely cunning.
"Prime Minister." Su Qi couldn't help but speak, "What do you mean?"
Mu Kuangda didn't say anything. This discussion had happened several years ago when the prince returned to the court. It was still the same people from that time, but Li Yanqiu was no longer there.
"Wulohoumu returned with the prince," said Su Qi, "There are birth papers, Yuhuang, and there are also evidences of going to Beijing. It is logical that the truth cannot be fake, and the false cannot be true. After the case was concluded, it should not be mentioned again and again."
"This is what Your Majesty decides." Mu Kuangda said, "I mean to go to the court and the country to have a quarrel, but now I gradually feel that there is still something inside. Your Majesty has gone, but over the years, I have always been in doubt. You have also seen the scene just now. Here is General Han and Mr. Yao is here. If Lord Su is stubborn and thinks that the evidence is conclusive, it is okay. If you think that the original image is a cause of trouble, please give me a request."
After Mu Kuangda said this, everyone could not refute it.
Han Bin said: "You might as well listen to what Wu Du said first."
"Wu Du, tell me." Xie You said, "You were the one who was sure of the prince's identity back then, and you are the one who wants to overturn the case now. Do you know how to deal with this crime?"
Wu Du pondered for a moment and replied, "I was the only person who had seen the 'Prince' except Uluohoumu. Later, I thought of it, and I felt that something was strange. But before tonight, Mu Xiang had never given me a word."
Wu Du glanced at Mu Kuangda. Mu Kuangda had never discussed the sudden overturn of the case tonight. This is also Mu Kuangda's meticulousness. It must be to create this effect. This was the case. If you give in first and say things too well, it will make people feel that everything is arranged.
"Let's not talk about the assassination of the prince ten years ago under the order of Zhao Kui." Wu Du said again, "Start with Wang Shan and I went to Shangzi in late autumn last year..."
Duan Ling and Mu Qing came to the side courtyard where Fei Hongde lived. Seeing Fei Hongde alone, he was watching the moon and eating the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in the courtyard. He had introduced Fei Hongde before, but Duan Ling was not inconvenient to say too much in front of Mu Kuangda. Now he told Mu Qing, saying, "This is Mr. Changpin's uncle."
Mu Qing held the junior tribute and greeted Fei Hongde. Fei Hongde just smiled and said, "You look a bit like your mother."
"Have you seen my mother?" Mu Qing said curiously.
"I came and went to Xichuan that year," said Fei Hongde. "I met one time, come and drink. You two are in love."
Duan Ling sat down and thought that there was probably a conspiracy in the garden over there, so he signaled to Fei Hongde. Fei Hongde nodded, poured wine for Mu Qing, and Mu Qing drank it.
"Is Mr. Fei used to living in Jiangzhou?" Mu Qing asked.
"It's cold in autumn, and it's a little wet." Fei Hongde replied, "Except for sometimes legs and feet are inconvenient, everything else is good."
Duan Ling pretended to remember something and said, "There is a medicine to drive away the cold, and I will get it for Mr. Fei."
