The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 42: The Uncrowned King 8

When he was released from prison, it was almost the hour of the dog.

Looking at Xu Mingyu who finally appeared in front of him after calling for a day, Xu Mingjin's eyes were full of resentment.

"Ahem." Xu Mingyu felt guilty when he saw his eyes.

Didn't he just remember that Xu Mingjin was still in prison, so he quickly let him out?

In order to avoid being questioned by Xu Mingjin why he let him stay in prison for a day, Xu Mingyu decided to take the initiative. He asked three questions in a row: "Mingjin, how did you appear here? When did you know your background? The college entrance examination is coming soon, but you didn't prepare for the exam in the academy, and you ran here secretly. You were all imprisoned as a kidnapper. Rumors spread all over Yu County. Have you thought about how to explain to your uncle when you go back?"

Xu Mingjin's face was blank for three seconds.

"..." He racked his brains for a long time before he whispered, "I'm sorry, cousin, I accidentally heard the conversation between my parents and my second uncle, and then I knew my life experience."

After starting, Xu Mingjin spoke more and more smoothly, and his emotions gradually became more appropriate. He lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "...You don't want me to be bothered by this matter. This is your good intention, but since I already know about it, how can I pretend that I don't know anything and continue to stay in the academy as if nothing happened?"

What he said made sense, and Xu Mingyu was speechless for a moment.

Under his gaze, Xu Mingjin raised his head and said solemnly: "... Knowing that I have taken something that belongs to someone else, even if I am reluctant, I should return it to its original owner."

"——This is why I came alone. I want to see in person the person who exchanged fate with me, and personally return the things that I have occupied for so many years to his owner."

When saying this, Xu Mingjin's tone was firm and serious, as if he had made an extraordinary decision. Just looking at his expression, it was almost thought that he was going to turn himself into a sacrifice on the altar, as if he was making some great sacrifice.

Xu Mingyu was almost confused by this atmosphere.

But looking at the embarrassed Xu Mingjin, somehow, a memorable word popped out of his mind, and he subconsciously said: "So you went to kidnap?"

Xu Mingjin: "..." They all said it was a misunderstanding!

Xu Mingjin got angry when he thought of Su Ying's tricks. He took the opportunity to complain: "I don't know why Sanlang wants to use me as a kidnapper. I clearly said it very clearly at the beginning..." There was a bit of helplessness and confusion in his words, implying that someone was either stupid or deliberately targeting him.

Xu Mingyu could certainly hear the meaning of this.

But what else could he do?

In any case, it was not his turn to intervene in the conflict between the two men. The elders should decide. What's more, it involves the prince. Can his cousin from the next room punish the prince who was lost and found by the eldest room for Xu Mingyu?

What's more, after getting along for a day, Xu Mingyu had a good impression of his newly recognized cousin. Although Xu Mingjin was a gentleman with a gentle and jade-like style on weekdays, he always made him feel a layer of unreal distance. In contrast, the newly recognized little cousin gave him a much more real and intimate feeling.

"Haha, this shows that Sanlang is very vigilant, which is good. He is not easily deceived." Xu Mingjin didn't really accuse him of anything anyway, so Xu Mingyu simply played dumb, "He has been living outside for many years, it's a good thing to be vigilant against people."

After he said this, Xu Mingjin was speechless.

If he continued to talk, the other party might start "Why is Sanlang so vigilant" → "Because he lost his parents when he was young and lived alone" → "In the final analysis, it was all because he was taken away by mistake, otherwise he wouldn't have to be like this" This series of progressive logical analysis, and finally the boomerang hit Xu Mingjin himself: "So he misunderstood that you wanted to kidnap, which is excusable" → "I feel sorry for Sanlang."

Xu Mingjin: yue!

Just thinking about it divergently, Xu Mingjin felt bad all over.

Seeing his face turn pale, Xu Mingyu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? I see it's getting late. You are still injured after all this trouble. Why don't you go back to your room and rest well? We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

He casually pointed to a servant to take Xu Mingjin down to rest.

What Xu Mingjin wanted to say was immediately blocked.

Until he was sent to the room by the servant, Xu Mingjin suddenly remembered that before he met Xu Mingyu just now, he wanted to question him why he didn't save him even though he had arrived a long time ago, and let himself be locked up in prison for a day in vain?

Now, after being questioned and rebuked by Xu Mingyu, how could he even forget his original purpose?

Thinking about the day and night in prison, thinking about the watery porridge, and smelling the sour smell coming from his body, Xu Mingjin couldn't calm down.

Before the servant left the room, he couldn't help but call him: "Do you know what the eldest son is doing today?"

Maybe his cousin has some serious business to do, such as dealing with that dog-headed county magistrate, and he also has to settle a group of people...Xu Mingjin was making excuses for Xu Mingyu in his heart, and heard the servant hesitate and say: "The eldest son went out after breakfast, with that person and the prince, and they didn't come back together until the evening."

This is not something that needs to be kept secret. The servants in the yard know it. Therefore, even though he knows that Xu Mingjin's current status is not as good as before, the servant has no intention of hiding it.

Xu Mingjin's face twisted.

"They are together? What are they going to do?"

He also held some unrealistic illusions, thinking that the two of them might be doing something serious, probably involving the arrangements of the Duke's Palace.

"It seems...going to Shanglin Village for an outing?" The attendant looked at his face, "And you also hunted game from the mountains and brought it back?"

At this point, the attendant vaguely realized something, and looked at Xu Mingjin with a strange expression, showing faint sympathy.

——Good guy, the other side is outing enjoying the scenery and eating wild game, while the other side is in prison tasting clear soup with little water. The contrast is too cruel.

In the sympathetic eyes of the attendant, Xu Mingjin broke her guard.

"Get out! Get out!" He pinched the corner of the eight-treasure table at hand with his palms, tried hard to calm his rapid breathing, and scolded the person out mercilessly, his emotions completely exploded.

There was a sound of a vase falling to the ground from the door of the room.

Then there was a gloomy whisper through gritted teeth: "It's only been a day... Sure enough, we are blood brothers!"

Xu Mingjin was filled with anger, and even when she woke up the next morning, Xu Mingjin's mood could not calm down. Coupled with the rough experiences of the past few days, his face looked very haggard.

When he left the yard where he lived, he saw two very familiar figures walking one behind the other on the path.

In the early morning mist, two similar faces had pleasant smiles on their faces. They were walking and talking. Seeing this in Xu Mingjin's eyes made him feel depressed by another ten percent.

"Sanlang, if you are more accustomed to this name, I will still call you that in private in the future. Anyway, according to the genealogy, you will be the third in the family." He heard Xu Mingyu smile and say to another person with concern, "Sanlang, you I'm a bit thin, so I'll have to make up for it in the future..."

Hearing this, Xu Mingjin couldn't help but interject: "What the elder brother said is true. I think Sanlang must have suffered a lot in these years."

The friendship of more than ten years was no more than one day together. He never expected that Xu Mingyu would be won over so quickly.

Xu Mingjin walked over and looked at the young man next to Xu Mingyu with concerned eyes, and said in a guilty tone: "God is always playing tricks on people. If it hadn't been for that accident, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now..." So to blame Just blame yourself for your misfortune and blame God for not being kind to you!

——As for himself, of course he is innocent. Can accidents arranged by God still be under his control?

"...If only we could go back to the past, we would have never made a mistake from the beginning." Xu Mingjin sighed hypocritically, and his long eyelashes drooped, matching his wounded face, looking lonely and melancholy. , and helpless, no one who looked at it could bear to blame him who was not at fault.

"But Sanlang, if you have any grudges, I can understand." Once again, the connotation was that this person deliberately tricked him into going to jail for revenge. Xu Mingjin smiled generously and promised seriously, "I also want everyone to return to their respective places. But what happened in the past cannot be forgotten, and I will do my best to compensate you in the future.”

Although the words were beautiful, he was really recognized back to the Duke of Wei's palace. Where could the prince find him when he was in need? I don't know how many people in the whole house are rushing to be the prince's ox and horse. Once the other party makes too harsh or excessive demands, everyone will see how narrow-minded and intolerant the prince is, and even the Duke's government will stop him first.

Xu Mingyu looked at the guilty and serious expression on his cheap cousin's face and felt that he was speaking strangely today.

Before he could think clearly, Su Ying next to him had already said happily: "Really? Are you really willing to do anything for me?"

The country mud-legged man was indeed short-sighted and could not hold his breath. Xu Mingjin clicked her tongue in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face. He raised a palm and said, "No lies!"

The curvature of the corners of Su Ying's mouth suddenly became wider.

"Wait a minute..."

When Xu Mingyu came back to his senses, he saw Su Ying making demands to Xu Mingjin as if he had gotten a big deal, and he subconsciously wanted to stop him.

This little cousin has no idea of ​​his identity at all. How can Xu Mingjin, the dignified heir apparent of the Duke of Wei, need compensation?

He just uttered two words, and Su Ying already spoke happily: "Actually, I have nothing to do. The only thing I'm worried about now is the pigs I raise at home..."

"???" Xu Mingyu had already raised his forehead.

Sure enough, country people are country people. Xu Mingjin was stunned for a moment, and then "tsk" filled her heart with a sense of superiority.

Although it was a small amount of money, it was normal for a young man to be angry and reluctant to part with it... He guessed the other person's brain circuit and tentatively said: "... Do you want to sell the pig as soon as possible?"

"You have to take good care of them in the future."

At the same time, Su Ying's words came out.

The two people's words overlapped, and the air suddenly became silent.

"???????"

Xu Mingjin's whole body turned into the shape of a question mark, and his little question mark suddenly gained many friends.

He looked at Su Ying blankly, as if he couldn't understand what was being said.

Su Ying continued to remind him: "Remember, the pigs can't be put out of the market yet. They will have to be raised for two months before they can be put out of the market."

“That’s when the meat is the richest and sells for the highest price.”

Xu Mingjin continued to be dazed, as if he had been hit in the head.

Xu Mingyu, the bystander, vaguely understood. He looked at Su Ying in disbelief: Does his little cousin's request be that everyone should return to their respective positions and Xu Mingjin should stay from now on?

No, his request is just to raise pigs well. The premise of this statement has already taken the two of them to their respective places as a fact. He just made a small request based on this fact.

Xu Mingjin also gradually understood, and her face turned ugly.

"What? You don't want to?" Su Ying thought for a while and looked like he couldn't understand. "Didn't you say that I hope you didn't make a mistake from the beginning and that everyone should return to their place? Then after you change back, remember to take good care of me. The pig."

He stared at Xu Mingjin seriously and said in a sincere tone:

"Please, please, that's all I ask!"

For a moment, Xu Mingjin didn't know what to do.

In the awkward atmosphere, he quietly looked towards Xu Mingyu, only to see this cheap cousin standing beside him as if it had nothing to do with him, showing no intention of helping him out.

Seeing Su Ying's staring eyes, Xu Mingjin had no choice but to say: "Sorry, I have no intention of staying here..." When saying this, Xu Mingjin felt her face hurt.

Every word he spat out was like a slap in the face, and his voice was as low as a fly buzzing.

Xu Mingjin's thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he was frantically thinking of excuses. Suddenly something came to his mind, and he immediately said as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "I have to prepare for the hospital exam in the near future, so I have to break my promise!" A little higher.

Su Ying suddenly said "Oh" in great disappointment: "That's it."

"But if you have other requirements, Sanlang..." I'm willing to do it for you!

Xu Mingjin still wanted to make amends, but Su Ying had already begun to nod perfunctorily: "Yes, okay, okay, I understand."

There was some strange tolerance and compassion in his eyes when he looked over, and there was clearly a sentence written on his face: Alas, I have to be brave if I can't do it. Forget it, I will tolerate you reluctantly.

Xu Mingjin: "..."

At this moment, the world in front of him seemed to be blurred. He couldn't even imagine the expression of Xu Mingyu next to him.

Su Ying's condescending, tolerant and compassionate attitude, to him, was nothing short of the most bitter sarcasm.

In sixteen years, there has never been such an embarrassing and humiliating moment.

Su Ying had already turned to look at Xu Mingyu: "By the way, cousin, didn't you ask me to pack up the old things I want to bring before returning to Beijing?"

"—I've thought about it."

As if sharing his favorite thing with a friend, the young man bent his eyes with a look of pleasure on his face.

"I want to bring the pigs that haven't been slaughtered yet."

he said cheerfully, adding at the end.

"...Oh, by the way, there's also Aunt Lan Xin."
