The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 59: The Uncrowned King 25

"Lang, how did you know the secrets about the noble family? Is the source of the information reliable?" After returning home, Wei Guogong and his wife couldn't wait to ask.

They were actually more inclined to think that their son was just talking nonsense and had to fight back like this because he was provoked by a group of people.

When the civil servants in the court are spitting at each other, don't they always tell nonsense and throw dirty water on each other? Stealing a sister-in-law, cheating on a nephew, etc. are completely out of the question. A literati's mouth can make a person's reputation last for hundreds of years.

But seeing how those people couldn't hide their guilty reactions, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that their son was not telling lies. Even if it's not completely accurate, at least seventy-eight times out of ten it's true.

This left both Xu Qian and the Li couple at a loss.

How could my son, who had only been in Beijing for a month, know so many things that even they didn't know?

The two of them had to worry about whether their son had met someone with bad intentions and told him so much just to take advantage of him. After all, the identity of the heir apparent to the Duke of Wei is still very valuable. Now the new and old parties are fighting each other in the court, and the princes' forces are fighting each other. Although the Xu family only follows the emperor, who knows if there are any unscrupulous people who want to drag them into trouble?

The prince of Wei Guogong, who had been living abroad for many years and knew nothing about the situation in Beijing, seemed to be a breakthrough point for those who were interested.

Su Ying seemed to know nothing about the couple's worries, and just showed a bright smile: "This is all revealed to me by the new friends I made in Shangjing. Don't worry, my group of friends have great powers, and there is no one in Shangjing." The door of my home can stop them, and no one can find out their traces. The news they told me is absolutely true..."

When he said this, Wei Guogong and his wife became even more worried.

——If you want to take it, you must give it to it first. Isn't this more like someone with ulterior motives and evil intentions?

Worried about dampening their son's enthusiasm for making friends, the couple spoke tactfully, trying to find out the identity and purpose of the so-called new friends: "Friends should have contacts, and this is the way to make friends. Friends like you will keep such precious secrets I tell you, I wonder what our government can do for them? Since we are your friends, anything that the government can do without violating laws and regulations can be used as a thank you."

——If the request is within a reasonable range, just make him happy and thank them. If you really have bad intentions, don't blame them for being rude.

"Eh? There's no need for that."

Su Ying glanced at the ghosts surrounding him like white ghosts and refused them directly.

He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, before I came, they all lived a miserable life. They were either so hungry that they ate dirt every day, or they were trapped in the yard for many years and couldn't get out. Some of them watched their enemies dangle in front of their eyes every day. There is nothing they can do, and some of them have been in a state of confusion for many years and have forgotten their past... If I hadn't happened upon them, they would have gotten out of this predicament."

What Su Ying said was the true situation of ghosts, but in the ears of Wei Guogong and his wife, it had a different meaning: suffering from hunger, being imprisoned and beaten, having a great revenge and being unable to avenge, having an extraordinary origin and suffering bad luck... In short, Thinking about it, these contents are quite miserable. They are all miserable and pitiful, which is inconsistent with the conspirator’s style imagined by the couple.

——As for why these people know so much? Although they may seem miserable, they all have stories to tell. And many secrets that big people don’t know are often known by some little people. It's like a servant who has been in the prime minister's palace for many years. He may accidentally overhear secrets when he passes by somewhere. Or share the prime minister’s gossip from the servants’ network. In short, those who teach Jiuliu have their sources of information.

Considering that this overly lively son of mine has traveled almost all over Beijing during this period, even visiting the ruined temples and beggars' dens, it's not impossible to say that he has met so many minor characters who are of the highest caliber at some point.

And their son undoubtedly has a series of beautiful qualities such as kindness, tolerance, selflessness, etc., and he helped these people out of sympathy. In the process of getting along with them, he learned some secrets from their mouths. Isn't it reasonable?

Thinking like this, I heard Su Ying say in a cheerful tone: "...After these people got out of trouble, they were all attracted by my personality charm, crying and begging to stay with me, and to repay me... I thought they didn’t have much, they just knew a few hundred million more secrets than the average person, so I just asked them to tell me stories.”

He boasted without any guilt and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Wei Guogong and his wife also nodded repeatedly. They didn't think there was any problem at all, and they didn't think Su Ying would lie to them.

——Yes, my son is such a person! Even if he is a little lacking in knowledge, his character must be first-class!

——Those people in Shangjing who said that he was ignorant and playful were indeed blind! He is obviously doing chivalrous acts, helping those in need, and helping the weak!

——Now that he can gain the trust of so many people and tell him all the big secrets, it is a reward for his heroic deeds, helping those in need, and helping the weak during this time!

On the side, System 333, who had seen everyone's expressions, couldn't help but remain silent: Good guy, one dares to say what one dares to believe!

If you look at the ghosts around you who have been shaped into strange shapes by their hosts, you will know how they "cry and beg but also follow the host to repay the host"!

Although I felt that the host's conscience was not painful at all when he spoke, System 333 also decisively abandoned his own conscience and said: [I have to say this, host, you are still too modest. If it weren't for the help of you, the host, these ghosts would only be able to remain in a state of confusion until one day they would be like this. To save them from the fire and water, who will be the host? It’s not an exaggeration to be kind and loyal, to go through fire and water! 】

[...Now I just let them tell stories during the day and pick up ghosts at night. When the host has nothing to do, he can touch the appearance to relax and explore the inner research ability. The twenty-four hours a day is very reasonable, and they don’t need it anyway. rest! If it were me, I wish I could have forty-eight hours a day, all of which could be used to contribute to the host, so that I could have peace of mind! 】

After stepping on a group of ghosts who needed supervision to work, he highlighted his proactiveness and consideration for his host. The little ball of light looked at Su Ying with a starry-eyed expression.

Hehehehe, no matter who it is, there is no way that anyone can cross System 333 and become the host's most trusted right-hand man!

"..."

Each ghost couldn't help but look at the small ball of light flying up and down in front of them, with a proud air that could not be concealed. It was as if they were looking at a traitorous minister who only knew how to flatter others, with incomparable resentment and grief in their eyes. .

——Looking at this, I am afraid that in the next second they will all kneel down and say in unison, "System 333 has harmed the country and the people, please kill 333 to bring peace to the world"!

"puff……"

Su Ying was amused by his own imagination.

At this time, Wei Guogong and his wife were still admonishing: "Mr., if you hear something from your friends again in the future, don't rush to publicize it. Talk to us... The situation in the court is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable. Although Some people have done shameless things on their own, but if you expose them plainly, you will be resented. We are not afraid of open swords and open guns, but we are afraid of villains plotting against us. "

This was also the reason why they reconciled with those people in Jing Zhaoyin. Those people wanted to shut Su Ying's mouth and stop talking nonsense. Wei Guogong and his wife also didn't want to publicize it.

Otherwise, those families would certainly be in misfortune, but the Duke of Wei actually collected so many pieces of dirty information and was sued in court for conspiracy. Who knows what His Majesty would think?

Su Ying said: "Of course His Majesty will be very happy. Maybe he will just have fun in the palace eating melon and watching the show."

"..." The couple was speechless for a moment.

My silly son thought that His Majesty the Emperor was the old man at the entrance of the village who listened to gossip and gossiped about mountains and rivers.

Regardless, their son has a pure nature and doesn't understand those conspiracies. They simply don't plan to train him like Xu Mingjin, as long as he is safe and happy!

But at this moment, Xiao Huangmen from the palace came to the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion with Emperor Huiming's reward.

By the time the family finished listening to the simple oral instructions, Su Ying had happily accepted Emperor Huiming's "reward" and was turning it left and right curiously. Duke Wei and his wife were still stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Su Ying casually holding up a gold ingot, with an expected bright smile on his face: "How about it, let me just say that Your Majesty is happy eating melons and watching the show, right?"

Wei Guogong and his wife: ...are we unable to keep up with the times?

After being stunned, they quickly realized: this gift was ostensibly to congratulate the family on their reunion, but if they really wanted to congratulate them, they should have congratulated them as early as the first day they were brought back. Choosing this time was clearly to support their son. Action!

They suddenly fell into deep thought: "This is what your Majesty means..." Is he loving his family and expressing his respect for his son, or is he trying to use the younger generation's hand to give some people a warning?

But no matter what, the emperor's intention was to let Su Ying continue to work. Even if they were worried, they would not violate the holy will.

Still wanting to give some advice, Su Ying suddenly said: "I almost forgot to mention that Li Mingjin's life experience is not simple."

"What?" The two people's attention was immediately attracted.

Su Ying said mysteriously: "I just found out that his mother's true identity is Chen Jiuniang from Beijing back then."

There is no need to say anything else, this sentence is enough. The couple quickly recalled Chen Jiuniang.

Wei Guogong hadn't thought of this person so quickly, but Mrs. Li had an impression when she heard the name. After all, she was one of the most talented women in Beijing at that time, and she died early because of her beauty.

She once made an engagement with the Queen's brother, but died shortly after the engagement. Judging from Li Mingjin's age, she was obviously still alive and well at that time, so was she a fake death? Is escaping marriage in the name of death an elopement?

Such a woman would elope for an ordinary country doctor? Mr. Li never believed it.

Having dealt with Chen Jiuniang, she knew his character. He was aloof and aloof. She always believed that if she were not a woman, she would definitely win the first prize. How could such a person like a mortal?

Even someone like Yu Liulang couldn't make her fall in love with him, and instead he faked his death to escape from the marriage. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he dares to snatch Yu Liulang's wife and run away with her, the identity of Li Mingjin's biological father may be extraordinary...

Sixteen years ago, were the two children really accidentally held in the wrong arms?

Thinking again of that special time, when the late emperor died and the kings were in rebellion... Could it be that Chen Jiuniang followed a prince and was worried that the prince would be implicated in his affair, so she changed the child?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed that this was possible. Duke Wei and his wife had solemn expressions on their faces. They did not bother to warn Su Ying anymore, and their attention shifted to Li Mingjin's life experience.

Especially the identity of Li Mingjin's biological father. If the identity of Li Mingjin's biological father is not found out, it will be bad if someone discovers something and is implicated in the Duke's Mansion. Even if the investigation is carried out now, it must be conducted secretly, without attracting the attention of the emperor or anyone else.

He casually threw a thunderbolt and diverted the attention of Wei Guogong and his wife. Not only Wei Guogong and his wife, it is estimated that the entire Wei Guogong mansion, including the old Duke and the second wife Xu Qing, will be involved in the investigation of Li Mingjin's life experience.

In other words, Su Ying can continue to let himself go.

I had no choice but to agree to the original owner Li Lang first. The Xu family was not like the Chu family in the previous world, so he could play with him as he pleased. They can’t play, and they can’t be as obedient as real good sons, so you can only find something for them to do!

With the joy of having "the plan figured out", Su Ying hummed all the way to the Mo Studio, where Chu Jizhou was already waiting for him.

Looking at the thick manuscript in the other person's hand, Su Ying briefly turned over it. Su Ying suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and became more and more satisfied with him: "I wrote the first issue of "Secrets of Shangjing" so quickly. I am worthy of being the top scholar." !”

"...This is all due to the outline provided by the Crown Prince." Chu Jizhou was inexplicably respectful to Su Ying. He smiled slightly, "This is also the first time I have written this kind of... storybook serialization? If it weren't for the Crown Prince's guidance, , I really don’t know how to start.”

"——But, does the Crown Prince really intend to publish "Secrets of Shangjing"?"

His tone suddenly became much more serious.

Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that most of what he wrote was based on real facts. If this were published, the people being targeted would go crazy.

Su Ying flipped through the manuscript without raising his head.

"Why not? Isn't the story written just to share it with everyone?" It would be more delicious if we all eat together.

"Your Majesty is right, I made a mistake." The serious expression on Chu Jizhou's face disappeared. He laughed and returned to his previous casual expression, "Things like scripts are meant to be written out for everyone to read. Well! The only thing to worry about now is whether the people in Beijing will buy it."

"You're overthinking this. I'm a commoner in Beijing. Everyone loves to eat melons. However, our story series has not had a reputation before. There are newcomers and new books. Many people are always worried about new things. Why not... let's take a look first. A wave of heat?”

Su Ying said a bunch of words that Chu Jizhou couldn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning. The two looked at each other.

——What is the hottest news in Beijing right now? Of course, it is still a matter of the real and fake heir apparent of the Duke of Wei!

This kind of thing about the heir of the government being wronged is really exciting and bizarre. It has not dropped in popularity for almost a month. It still beats other news and ranks at the top of the hot searches in Beijing.

The other two hot searches are also related to Su Ying.

——One is the increasingly serious haunting incident, and the other is Su Ying beating the sons of princes in the street.

The two of them reached a consensus by chance: let's make the headlines about the Duke of Wei's mistake in having the heir apparent, to generate a wave of popularity and attract readers for the release of "Secrets of Shangjing"!

"Based on the Crown Prince's suggestions, I wrote eight expansions with the theme of embracing the wrong Crown Prince. Which one should the Crown Prince choose?"

Chu Jizhou was quite well prepared.

Su Ying's eyes lit up, and his favorable impression of him continued to increase +1+1.

"Ordinary people make choices, so of course I want them all! Anyway, I can publish them issue after issue..."

Chu Jizhou couldn't help but admire him: "I did not hesitate to sacrifice my own reputation, let me describe it with my pen and ink, just to spread the "Secrets of Shangjing" to the world, spread the truth, and eliminate filth... The princes in the court are not as good as The prince is righteous!”

——After all, writing yourself into the story and being the villain is an active attempt to slander your own reputation, just to attract more people’s attention so that the real “secrets” in “Secrets of Shangjing” will not be buried. This is sacrificing oneself to reveal the truth to the world!

"???" Su Ying always felt that this guy had misunderstood something.

But he didn't bother to explain. He just suddenly thought of something and pointed at the person in front of him: "Actually, using you as a prototype to write a story might be very attractive."

Chu Jizhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Me? The prince is joking. I'm a down-and-out scholar, how can I have an attractive story? What people want to see is the number one scholar in high school marrying a princess, not being down and out and ruining the temple." ”

"Of course. I heard that you are a disciple of Prime Minister Cao?"

Chu Jizhou's expression suddenly became complicated: "...I haven't heard anyone mention Prime Minister Cao for a long time."

The prime minister they mentioned, whose full name was Cao Lu, was the prime minister during the reign of the late emperor. He strongly advocated reform and reform to enrich the country and strengthen the army. However, a few years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister returned to his hometown due to Ding You and died of illness soon after.

His disciples took over his ideas and continued to fight on the front line of reform. In the major imperial examination fraud cases in the past few years, several New Party officials were implicated. Prime Minister Cao was also reported and implicated in many crimes. Honor should be taken away.

Su Ying looked at the person in front of him, as if he had understood everything, and seemed to just say casually: "Listen, I was originally a top scholar, but I was implicated in the imperial examination fraud case, was expelled from my job, suffered injustice, and my father died with hatred. Swear revenge!"

He was like a storyteller, his tone became passionate.

"So I bent down and waited for the opportunity. I handed over to the rangers below and paid homage to the prince and ministers. If I can be appreciated by the nobles, I can offer my words and suggestions for the future. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years! If I am not appreciated by the nobles, I will sharpen my sword and sharpen my sword. Act like a knight in the capital, summon your friends, behead your enemies, and pay homage to your father at his grave..."

At Su Ying's voice, Chu Jizhou's expression changed little by little, first surprise, then horror, and finally, the look he gave Su Ying was like seeing a ghost.

——Can you read minds? !

It seemed as if this line of words was clearly written on his face.

Su Ying seemed to be unaware of it, just tilted his head and smiled at him: "How about it, my script is good, right? This is the most popular counterattack and revenge script in ancient and modern times, and it is definitely popular in this era."

The boy's smile was as bright and dazzling as a flame against the background of the red clothes burning like flames.

"Indeed." Chu Jizhou murmured, "Very good."

He couldn't help asking: "... Is there anything else in this world that the prince doesn't know?"
