The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

After just feeding Su Ying's pigs for a long time, Lan Xin felt even more tired than she had in the past ten years.

This man actually read out enough pig-raising tips to fill a thick book just by dictating! According to the other party, this was because she had no previous experience and deliberately simplified the subsequent version.

Listening to his serious explanation of various precautions and details of raising pigs, Lan Xin felt that something was wrong.

——Where are pigs raised here? It’s almost enough to raise a child!

No, raising children is not meticulous to this level. Children in the countryside have always been carefree. Even children from wealthy families are not fully cared for to this extent.

In short, Lan Xin felt that she never wanted to go near a pig shed or see such a creature again for the rest of her life.

Don't ask. If you ask, you already have a psychological shadow.

Fortunately, her efforts were not without reward. In the past few days, she had been playing the role of a caring aunt. While raising pigs and taking care of her nephew, she had made some insinuations and finally learned from this kid everything about the people who came to Shanglin Village to investigate his life experience and what had happened during their contact with him.

The questions they asked, their attitude toward the cheap nephew during the contact process, and many details. Maybe the cheap nephew himself didn't notice it, but Lan Xin, who heard what he relayed, pieced together these details in her mind. Come out and combine them into the most likely truth.

"Sure enough, I was discovered..."

A secret that has been hidden for sixteen years can no longer be kept secret. If her guess is correct, it won't be long before someone comes to Shanglin Village to pick her up, right?

Lan Xin couldn't help but look at the young man with a bright smile in front of her, who knew nothing about anything that might happen. Her eyes were indescribably complicated.

The young man's longing expression seemed to still contain the absurd thought of "being visited by relatives of his maternal grandfather's family".

She didn't know what her psychology was, but she said sadly: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for those people to ask about your life experience like this!"

As expected, the young man looked puzzled: "Eh? What should I say?"

"Lang, you have been kind-hearted since you were a child. You don't know that people in this world are evil. I have heard people say that there are those who are good at pretending. Don't look at it with style. They package themselves to look rich and noble. Find some This is an excuse to identify relatives, recruit workers, and do business, just to deceive young people like you who don't know much about the world. Maybe they will abduct people to some shady place and do shady things or sell them out. From now on, I am a slave and a maid, and I can’t help myself..."

Following Lan Xin's voice, the boy's eyes widened little by little, and he was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"

For some reason, Lan Xin always felt that his expression was more curious and eager to try than shock and fear.

It must be an illusion.

Putting aside the strange thoughts, Lan Xin smiled calmly: "So you have never seen people's hearts being evil. Don't tell anyone outside. If you encounter this kind of thing again, it's best to find an elder who is close and trusted first. Check..." As for the elder who is close and trusted, of course it is her. "Aunt Lan Xin, don't worry——"

Su Ying smiled and nodded, seeming to have listened to everything.

"I know what to do~"

.

While the two were talking in the room, a low-key and elegant carriage passed through the path and slowly entered Shanglin Village.

The carriage stopped, and someone was respectfully asked to get out of the carriage.

He was a young man dressed in moon-white silk clothes. He had an elegant appearance and impressive nobility. At first glance, he could tell that he had grown up among the brocade and had a temperament cultivated by the overwhelming power.

The young man's eyes swept across the rows of simple houses and the half-dry and half-wet muddy ground, and he subconsciously took a step back.

His beautiful eyebrows wrinkled little by little, and he made an inaudible voice: "...Shanglin Village?"

"...Is this where people are?"

Drawn by memories, the young man's thoughts returned to half a month ago——

Hundreds of miles away in Shangjing City, a major incident occurred in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The old Duke, who was no longer in charge, the Duke and his wife, as well as the Duke's biological brother and the second master who had not been separated from the family, all gathered together.

"This, this, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?"

Just after being called over, he heard the explosive incident from his elder brother. The second master Xu Qing was so shocked that he didn't know what to do: "Brother, you mean, Mingjin is not my nephew? My nephew has been living outside for ten years. Six years?”

Duke Xu Qian of Wei sighed: "This matter is unmistakable. I sent people to investigate carefully for a month, and every clue points to the fact that the child who has been living abroad for sixteen years is the biological son of me and your sister-in-law."

Xu Qing couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is going on?"

"This is a coincidence." As soon as the old man spoke, everyone else fell silent and looked at him.

Just listen to him explain the cause and effect: "A month ago, I received a letter from your Uncle Wang."

"He said in the letter that he accidentally met a child while traveling, who was just like me when I was young. No one would doubt the origin of this child... We are also close friends. This He won't lie to me when it comes to things." As he said this, the old man became angry and snorted, "This old ghost actually laughed at me in the letter. He has been pretending to be self-sufficient all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be romantic outside. Rhyme... How can I accept such slander? That old and dishonest person thinks that everyone is as bad as him?"

Of course, the old Duke knew whether he had a romantic affair, but he didn't know whether his elder brother who died early had any descendants left behind. Thinking of this, the old Duke asked his eldest son to send someone to investigate.

——Unexpectedly, the investigation found something wrong.

The wife of Duke of Wei, Li, spoke in a trance: "My husband, after a careful investigation, I actually know the parents of the child..."

"——It's the family that did me a favor sixteen years ago."

"Sixteen years ago..."

Thinking of the things of that year, Xu Qing fell silent for a while.

Sixteen years ago, this is a special keyword.

Speaking of Duke of Wei Xu Qian, everyone said that he was the iron confidant of the current saint. Unlike those nobles who only had titles, this Duke of Wei was a real powerful person.

When the current saint was still the prince, Xu Qian was his companion. The two met when they were young, and their relationship was different from that of ordinary people. Sixteen years ago, when the previous emperor passed away and the kings were in turmoil, it was Xu Qian, the prince of Duke of Wei who had not yet been granted the title, who immediately seized the power of the barracks outside the capital, led thousands of soldiers and horses straight into the imperial city, controlled the palace, and took down the rebel kings in one fell swoop, helping the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

——It was this merit of following the dragon that completely established Xu Qian's position in the heart of the saint. After that, he rose step by step in the court, and became the Minister of War within a few years. He sat in this position for ten years, and his position was as stable as Mount Tai. The court and the public all knew that Duke of Wei was loyal to the saint, and they also knew that the saint trusted this minister.

That bloody night sixteen years ago, when people mentioned it now, they all praised Duke of Wei for his loyalty and courage, and the saint's wisdom and bravery. It was a glorious past for the two. But what outsiders didn't know was that on the night when Xu Qian fought hard in the imperial city, the Duke of Wei's mansion was not peaceful.

——Before the incident, Xu Qian had already made preparations. He had arranged for his family to quietly leave the city a few days in advance and hide in a hidden villa. The people left in the Duke of Wei's mansion in the city were bait and ambushes used to mislead the rebels.

But man's plans are not as good as God's plans. No one can predict accidents and coincidences. That night, the imperial city was on fire, and all the rebellious kings were captured, but many of their rebels took advantage of the chaos to escape and scattered in the wild.

The villa where the Duke of Wei's family lived was actually very remote, but a group of panicked deserters fled to the vicinity.

This didn't matter. The family was well protected in the villa. The rebels were busy escaping and had no time to waste time to break into the villa, which was obviously heavily guarded.

But all the preparations could not stop Xu Qing from quietly running away.

At that time, he was only seventeen years old. He had just become a father, but he had not gotten rid of the playfulness of a teenager. He had been stuck in the manor for several days and always felt that his parents and brothers were making a fuss. The manor was so remote, it was impossible for anyone to find it, right?

With this idea in mind, he couldn't help but sneak out after a few days. Not long after he sneaked out, the servants on patrol found traces of the rebel deserters. At this time, Xu Qing was found missing, which made everyone think in a bad direction.

For a time, the whole family panicked and sent people to find him as soon as possible.

This series of accidents caused loopholes in the tight defense of the manor. As a result, the pregnant wife of the prince, Li, was accidentally hit by several deserters who broke in during the chaos.

Someone recognized the identity of the family of Duke Wei.

People's emotions are not always controlled by reason. They had just fought with Xu Qian, and many brothers and comrades died. They also fled like a stray dog. The new hatred and old hatred made them impulsive and captured the pregnant wife of the prince.

But soon after they took the person away, the impulsive people came to their senses and realized that they had made a mistake because of their emotions.

——This wife of the prince was a hot potato, not to mention that she was pregnant with the heir of the Duke's Mansion. If something happened to them, the lives of the whole family would be in danger!

But asking them to send the person back would be a trap.

After thinking it over, they had to throw this hot potato to a family passing by, explain the identity of the wife of the prince, and ask the family to send the person back to claim the reward after dawn. And they just took advantage of this time to escape.

These people left, but they didn't know that Li was frightened and scared all night, and she gave birth prematurely. The hostess of that family was also pregnant, and seemed to be frightened by this. Not long after Li gave birth, she also gave birth.

Fortunately, the male owner of that family was a doctor, and he made many preparations for his pregnant wife in advance, and also hired a midwife. When it was almost dawn, the people from the Duke's Mansion followed the traces and found that the two children had been born safely.

One of them was Xu Mingjin, the current prince of the Duke of Wei. The other was Li Lang.

That night, one accident followed another, and everything was a mess. There were too many things that needed to be dealt with by the Duke's Mansion, so they just gave some money to thank the Li family and took the mother and son away first.

A few days later, when the wife of the prince sent people to look for the Li family again, she found that they had moved away - according to the nearby villagers, it seemed that something happened to the elders in the family and they had to leave their hometown.

At this time, the prince had won a great victory, but the aftermath of the rebellion had not yet subsided. The blood flowed in the vegetable market in Shangjing, and countless people were implicated. There were many people who left their hometown because of the elders' accidents. The wife of the prince did not think much about it, but could only feel regretful and let it go.

Who could have imagined that sixteen years later, when investigating the child who looked similar to the old Duke, the original family would be traced?

Two children born at the same time and in the same place, with similar looks to the old Duke... All kinds of clues point to the fact that the two families had the wrong child from the beginning.

Speaking of this, Ms. Li couldn't help but choked up: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless, my son wouldn't have suffered outside for so many years..."

"No, it's my fault that I failed to protect you."

Speaking of what happened that year, Wei Guogong Xu Qian blamed himself.

"No, it's me who's to blame." Xu Qing also said, "It's not my fault that I'm not sensible, my sister-in-law will not suffer this kind of trouble..."

For a moment, several people were vying to take the blame, which made the old prince dumbfounded and nodded in relief.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. The top priority is to bring the person back." The old Duke pondered for a while and then directly said, "He has a special status and has suffered so many years outside. Sending someone else will make him think that we are If you don’t pay enough attention, tell Mingyu and ask him to pick him up in person.”

As he spoke, he looked at his second son, Xu Qing. The person the old Duke was talking about was Xu Qing's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Duke of Wei, Xu Mingyu.

Xu Qing thought this idea was a sound one, and he agreed on his son's behalf without saying a word: "That's his cousin, the future heir to the palace, so he should go."

He didn't forget to add: "Before anyone arrives, we have to make it clear to everyone in the house. After my nephew comes back, we can't let anyone neglect him!"

Forgetting this matter for the time being, the old Duke remembered another troublesome matter. He couldn't help but look at his eldest son and his wife:

"And Mingjin, what are you going to do?"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Finally, Xu Qian said:

"In any case, the Li family is indeed kind to Madam. Mingjin and I have also had a father-son relationship for many years. Now that the college exam is coming, let him prepare for the exam with peace of mind in the college."

"I will continue to investigate what happened back then. If it was an accident, that's it. If there is something fishy..."

A sharp look flashed across his eyes.

The few people who were talking did not notice that among the flowers outside the window, a figure who stopped to listen had turned and left.

The arrival of the carriage alarmed the entire Shanglin Village.

The dark blue silk curtains seemed to be rippling like water in the sunlight, and the horse pulling the carriage was even taller and stronger, with no trace of color in its pitch-black hair, and a pair of big eyes with sparkle... As for the man who rode the carriage The young man who walked out from head to toe exuded an aura of nobility that was incompatible with this small village. Even the young men from wealthy families in the county were reduced to the ground in front of him.

The villagers in Shanglin Village watched from a distance, but did not dare to come forward, as if there was something dirty on their bodies, and if they came closer, it would pollute the air around this noble man.

Until this noble man took the initiative to step forward and chose an old man who was resting under a big tree at the entrance of the village to ask questions.

"May I ask my husband..." The young man bowed his hand politely, but his tone was a bit jerky, as if he was not used to it, "This is Shanglin Village? Is Li Lang here?"

"——The noble man wants to find Li Lang?!"

The people watching secretly around immediately solved the case!

Several gangsters who usually had nothing to do immediately spotted the opportunity to please the noble man. One shouted: "Here he is, he is here, Li Lang is at home these days, and I am willing to lead the way!", and the other shouted: "Where? There is no need for a nobleman to condescend to you. I will bring that boy over right away!"

There are also people watching the fun, who have already gone to the end of the village.

For a time, the road was full of diligent people running around.

Su Ying was about to check on Lan Xin's completion of today's pig feeding business when he heard a noise coming from outside.

"Li Lang! Li Lang! Are you there? Someone is looking for you!" "Come out quickly, someone is here to summon you!"

Amidst the chaotic shouting, a young man in coarse linen clothes opened the door and walked out, holding a broom in his hand.

He looked surprised: "What do you want from me?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Someone came up with a smile and pulled him away, "Hurry up, hurry up, a noble person is here, and he specifically wants to see you, so don't keep him waiting for a long time!" "Hey! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" I see that your boy is not a creature of the pond. If you are really appreciated by a noble and prosperous, don’t forget about us..."

Wearing linen clothes, dragging a broom, messy black hair, and blank eyebrows, the young man who appeared in front of Xu Mingjin, being pulled and pulled by a group of hooligans and surrounded by smiles, was such a young man who exuded a despicable air from the inside out.

Like a stubborn stone that has withstood the wind and sun for many years in the mountains.

But Xu Mingjin, standing in front of him, was like polished jade. Just standing there made people feel ashamed.

He waved away the others, leaving only the two of them alone. Xu Mingjin looked at the person in front of him and slowly tightened his palms.

"...So it's you."

——The person who has exchanged fate with me since birth.

——The person who is about to take everything away from me!

As the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, a first-class figure in the elite circle of the capital, he was born with everything that everyone envied. But he never thought that his smooth life would be on the verge of destruction because of the appearance of another person.

If he hadn't accidentally overheard a family conversation that day, I'm afraid he would still be stupidly staying in the academy, preparing for the academy exam without knowing anything. Little does he know that the person who is about to replace him has already boarded the carriage sent by his cousin...

Fortunately, he did not miss the opportunity God gave him!

After learning about the plans of the Duke and others, he was still studying in the academy, but he set off before his cousin set off, so he also arrived at his cousin's destination first.

Now, the person he was looking for was standing in front of him.

Xu Mingjin quietly looked at the young man in front of him, not missing every detail of him.

Shabby clothes, calloused palms, traces of wind and sun on his skin, a careless manner without etiquette when walking, a malnourished and thin body, and the thatched hut behind him where no dogs live... He seems to In just a short moment, he saw the other person's life for more than ten years, which was beyond his imagination.

When he thought that this was the fate he was supposed to bear, and when he thought that everything he had enjoyed in the past would be taken away by another person, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart.

Fear gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake, making it difficult for the Duke of Wei, who was well-known in the capital, to maintain his former composure.

Facing the young man's gaze, he forced himself to put on a pleasant smile: "...I am Xu Mingjin, who came from Shangjing. Lang, do you mind if I call you this? I came here specially to find you."

When Xu Mingjin looked at others, he didn't notice that the person being looked at was also looking at him.

Hearing him speak, Su Ying just nodded "Oh" and looked at him thoughtfully, as if to indicate to him to continue.

The palms in his sleeves tightened, and the smile on Xu Mingjin's face was a bit bitter: "I'm sorry, you may not know what I'm going to say next, and I only know it. Sixteen years ago, we were born unexpectedly Mistaken……"

He felt like every word he spat out was like a poisonous needle stinging his heart. So, he let every word he uttered turn into a poisonous needle to sting another person's heart.

"——I grew up in the Duke's palace until I was sixteen years old. I enjoyed all kinds of clothes, fine food, wealth, and honor. My parents treated me well. Even though I studied hard every day and gained some trivial reputation, I still felt that the reward was not enough. I’m just afraid of losing the reputation of the Duke’s government.”

Xu Mingjin smiled. His actions, words, demeanor, and even his jade-like appearance seemed to be trying his best to highlight the huge difference between the other person and him.

In this case, he was particularly worried about losing the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. How can those who are far inferior to him be worthy of the Duke's palace?

He appeared in front of this person just to tell him vividly - you are not worthy!

But he waited, but didn't wait for the other party's reaction.

There was no surprise at suddenly hearing about his life experience, nor was there any humiliation or humiliation, nor was there any resentment, accusation, or unseemly abuse towards him. The other party just listened quietly. When he saw him stop, he raised his eyes in confusion and gave him a "Why don't you continue?" look.

For a moment, Xu Mingjin had the illusion that he was singing and telling stories on stage, while the other party was watching and listening to stories off the stage.

Xu Mingjin frowned slightly. Could it be that this countryman was too slow to understand the meaning of his words? Or maybe his words were too cryptic and he needed to be more explicit?

He is indeed an ignorant country man!

He had no choice but to continue: "I came to you without telling my family. Since I was a child, I have wanted to uphold the reputation of the Duke of Wei and not lose the prestige of my father and ancestors. I didn't expect that worldly things can cause trouble..."

Speaking of this, the smile on Xu Mingjin's lips became increasingly bitter.

The setting sun fell on the young man's melancholy eyebrows, making his face covered with a layer of indescribable sadness.

But Su Ying ruined the atmosphere as soon as he opened his mouth: "...So, what exactly did you want to say after talking for a long time!"

"——I am the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, but you are not?" The young man dragging the broom looked at him in confusion, "I already know this. So you are here to exchange with me?"

of course not! Xu Mingjin almost blurted out.

——Not only do you want to take away everything from him, but you also want to make him a jerk for the rest of his life. How sinister and vicious!

He endured it and smiled: "...I came to you to take you back."

"My parents have raised me for sixteen years, and I can't bear to embarrass them..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy opposite him slapped his hands and suddenly realized: "That's it!"

The next second, the boy picked up the broom at hand.

"——Sure enough, your purpose is to kidnap me!"

It was like waving a long red cherry gun, and the strong wind blew in the face. The broom drew a round arc in mid-air and swept towards Xu Mingjin, which continued to magnify in his frightened eyes.

Xu Mingjin: "!!!"

boom!

"Stop! What are you doing-"

Bang bang!

"Stop it, stop it!!"

Bang bang bang!

"What happened back then was just an accident, and I was also innocent..."

Bang bang bang bang!

"Ahhhhhh you country bastard——"

Bang bang bang bang bang!

"Oooh, don't come over here!"

Rhythmic sounds continued to sound, and the broom dragging the soil was swung out in a sweeping gesture. The noble prince who was like a flawless jade before was suddenly beaten all over the ground, like a bowling ball rolling back and forth.

"Huh...this body has pretty good strength."

After being completely stunned, Su Ying threw away the broom.

"It's just that I'm a little tired from beating people, so I need to exercise more."

He went home and walked around, and finally found two hemp ropes, tied the person tightly, and then dragged the person all the way to the pigsty - there was no other way, so he had a thatched hut and a pigsty. , you can't put a person into your own house, let him be with the cute pigs.

Although I always feel that the pigs are being taken advantage of.

Lan Xin hurried over and saw Su Ying walking out of the pig pen happily, with some unfinished expression on his face.

She didn't want to know why this guy was addicted to feeding pigs, and she still had more to say. She just wanted to know another thing: "Lang, I heard from people in the village that a noble man came to see you just now..."

Before she could finish the question, Su Ying shook his head and said: "Aunt Lan Xin, have you forgotten? You said it yourself, pretending to be a wealthy family to recognize your relatives. This is what flower photographers like to do! The people in the village have been deceived, aunt, you How can I be fooled?"

"?" Lan Xin's prepared remarks were suddenly useless. She nodded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes!"

The young man suddenly raised a cheerful smile: "I punished that man severely! This is what a kidnapper should end up with. Auntie, you think so too, right?"

Lan Xin: "???"

She never expected that, just in case, she hoped that Li Lang would not leave so easily when someone came to find him, so that she could be prepared, how could it develop into a drama of "wittingly uncovering the kidnapper's conspiracy and hitting him hard" ?

But on second thought, this seems to be a good thing!

——You obviously came to pick someone up with good intentions, but you were punished in turn. The other person's impression of "Li Lang" must have fallen to the bottom. The status of the person who can be sent to pick up "Li Lang" can be imagined. If he goes back and files a complaint, it will be enough for the whole family to have a bad impression of him. Even if he doesn't file a complaint, just being a little embarrassed and making trouble in secret is probably enough for "Li Lang" who has no foundation.

Lan Xin certainly didn't want "Li Lang" to suffer hardship. After all, he was still a child she watched grow up.

But people always have biases. If he is taken back and is loved and loved, the situation of the other child will definitely be bad, and if he is not liked, the situation of the other child will be much better.

Therefore, she was happy to see "Li Lang" frantically destroying his image in the eyes of those who came to pick him up.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that this drama of "witly seeing through the kidnapper's conspiracy and striking the kidnapper hard" was like a stroke of genius.

"Wonderful!" Lan Xin couldn't help but praise.

Su Ying looked at her confused.

"...I mean, you did a good job. Where is that deceitful kidnapper?" Lan Xin coughed lightly and changed her words.

"over there."

Su Ying pointed in the direction of the pig pen. Lan Xin, who originally wanted to meet someone, suddenly changed her expression and took a big step back.

Probably misunderstanding Lan Xin's meaning, he blinked: "I'm not dead, I'm a law-abiding person. Aunt Lan Xin, please help find someone to report to the official!"

Lan Xin's mood became visibly happy.

Without Su Ying's advice, she quickly found a few young men in the village and used the same excuse as Su Ying, saying #李langdiscovered a liar pretending to be a nobleman, and asked them to report it to the official.

The villagers were still a little doubtful. They always felt that the young man just now was very impressive and did not look like a liar, but they were convinced by Lan Xinyan's deception.

Not long after, the government servants who arrived after being notified dragged out an unconscious man from the pig pen who had been tied up with five flowers. His facial features were swollen and covered with mud, making it difficult to identify his identity.

As a victim and reporter who was almost deceived, Su Ying naturally followed the escort team to the county seat.

Lan Xin goes with him.

Along the way, she finally remembered to ask what happened before.

Su Ying waved his hands with a bored look on his face: "It's just what liars usually do. I don't believe a word of it."

He speaks righteously and righteously, and exudes the light of righteousness:

"——Those who wantonly abduct young men from good families should be escorted to the county government office and face legal justice."

Lan Xin forced down the corner of her mouth that almost smiled and turned into a ruthless nodding machine.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Pretending to be a nobleman of the Duke's palace should be punished with an additional penalty."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"He actually lied to me and said he was the eldest son of the Duke of Wei State, and that he had exchanged identities with me. I laughed to death."

"Ah, yes - what did you say?!"
