The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

In Daqi, Jingzhao Yin was in charge of the people's livelihood and public security in the Jingsi area. Along with Shangjing City, many nearby counties and districts were under Jingzhao Yin's jurisdiction. The post station where the Duke of Wei and his party were located could be considered as belonging to the Jingzhao area. Jing Zhaoyin was in charge, so as soon as the murder occurred, Su Ying found someone at the inn and asked someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin.

When Jing Zhaoyin learned that the murder involved a son of the government, he did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone. Within half a day, the room where the murder occurred was blocked by Jing Zhaoyin's people, and Lan Xin's body was handed over. , Xu Mingjin, who was involved in the case, had no time to rest and had to go through the interrogation again.

That afternoon, the convoy entered the city along with the officers and soldiers sent by Jing Zhaoyin. The two parties were mixed together, and everyone who saw it was very surprised. They all speculated in their hearts that something big had happened to some nobleman in the Duke of Wei's house, and even Jing Zhaoyin was alarmed.

Soon, they no longer have to speculate.

Because the news they wanted to know was like a tornado, centered on Jingzhao Yin Yamen, it blew through Shangjing in just one day and reached everyone's ears.

Xu Mingjin, who has been carefully trained by the Duke of Wei for sixteen years, has nothing to do with Duke Wei and his wife. Instead, the real prince stayed in a rural family for sixteen years before he was found. It was said that he had never even read a book and could barely read.

Such a story with twists and turns is simply more absurd and bizarre than the story. It would be hard to believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes. Just this explosive news was enough to cause a sensation in Beijing, and people talked about it for many years.

But this is not the most surprising thing. What is even more shocking is that the real and fake eldest son of the Duke of Wei are in court. The newly found eldest son of the Duke of Wei has sent the counterfeit Xu Mingjin to jail before he even recognized his relatives. Prison.

——Of course, everyone knows that Xu Mingjin counterattacked and killed the "aunt" who accompanied the prince to Beijing, and was imprisoned by the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Objectively, it had nothing to do with the prince himself.

But how many people will believe this obvious statement? Is there really no instruction from the Crown Prince of Wei behind this "aunt" who was born a slave and had an unfair name?

Conspiracy theorists inevitably wonder whether the prince couldn't stand the wealthy life that Xu Mingjin had lived for so many years in his place, so behind his back he instructed Lan Xin to find trouble with Xu Mingjin. Unexpectedly, Xu Mingjin was so upset that he actually killed someone himself. Therefore, the prince followed the current and reported to the official, sacrificing a mere slave, and sent Xu Mingjin to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

Therefore, the Duke and his wife who received the news did not wait for their son at home. They first learned that he had gone to Jingzhao Yin Yamen - as the closest "relatives" of the deceased Lan Xin in the world, and the biggest murderer Xu Mingjin. The master of suffering.

Jing Zhaoyin has considerable experience in handling such murder cases. After dispatching disobedient and criminal experts to inspect the scene and body, and interviewing Xu Mingjin, they were able to roughly conclude that there was no third person in this case, and that the deceased was indeed Xu Mingjin. He was killed by his own hands, but the reason is difficult to determine. After all, there were only two of them in the room at that time. It is really difficult to find out whether the fact is that the deceased became angry and committed the crime and he had no choice but to fight back, as Xu Mingjin said. But no matter what, Xu Mingjin’s murder cannot be faked.

According to the law of Qi, anyone who intentionally kills someone will be executed. However, considering what Xu Mingjin said about being forced to fight back, and the huge difference in status between the two, it is true that Lan Xin sneaked into Xu Mingjin's room without permission, and she did have evil intentions towards Xu Mingjin. The possibility... In short, after considering various factors, Mr. Wang made a decision after careful consideration:

"According to the law of Qi, if you beat others to death, you will be exiled for eighty years. Considering that there may be some inside story about this matter, it will only last three years."

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, Xu Mingjin in the court showed no reaction. He just stood there blankly, as if his soul was out of control.

He still couldn't accept that he was actually forced to go to Jingzhao Yin for trial. His mind seemed to be still immersed in the inn, the moment when Su Ying stood up and put a group of Jingzhao Yin's agents into the inner room. At that time, facing Su Ying's smiling and encouraging gaze, Xu Mingjin felt absurd and unbelievable in her heart.

There was a silent roar in his heart.

——Reporter? Why did you choose to report to the official? Do you know what role you played in this case? In the eyes of the world, Lan Xin's disrespect towards me will be interpreted as your dissatisfaction with me, and her "active attack" on me will be interpreted as your hatred of me for a long time. How dare you report it to the official? !

Xu Mingjin really couldn't understand.

——After living abroad for many years, he was finally found, but he didn’t worry at all about bringing stain on the Duke’s government and giving him a bad reputation in the eyes of everyone as being narrow-minded and intolerant? A poor country boy who is illiterate and has been swayed by the wealth and wealth of the Duke of Guo. Shouldn't he be more cautious and cautious in his words and deeds to avoid being displeased by the Duke of Guo's Palace?

——Or is it that this person has never thought about the disadvantages of making things worse for him, and is a complete idiot?

With this thought, Xu Mingjin suddenly felt aggrieved.

He considered that the old doctor he invited had not left the inn before he dared to harm himself. He considered that Lan Xin was so sneaky that no one would know her purpose when she came. He also considered that the character this woman usually showed was enough to make her The excuse he made up became reasonable, taking into account the reaction of the Duke's Mansion and Xu Mingyu... Xu Mingjin made the most thorough consideration in the shortest time, but he never thought that there would be someone in the world who didn't care about reputation like Su Ying. A person who is not bound by any hidden rules and can do whatever he wants.

Of course Xu Mingjin didn't think that Su Ying didn't care about anything. He just thought that this person was hopelessly stupid. He can read the thoughts of smart people, but has difficulty predicting the words and deeds of fools!

He suddenly felt annoyed that he had "shot himself in the foot" - he had been using the familiar rules of the capital's elite circles to deal with Su Ying, but he never thought that this man came from the countryside and did not understand at all. Those twists and turns. In this way, doesn't his "fighting of wits and courage" during this period make him look as ridiculous as a buffoon?

He was preoccupied with how to kill people and silence them without discovering the truth about his life experience. He never thought that he would be sentenced for murder before his life experience was discovered.

The possibility of being sentenced for killing Lan Xin never entered Xu Mingjin's mind. After all, among the powerful people he had interacted with, there were some who behaved more cruelly and excessively. Basically, they did so privately. Who among those people had ever been punished by the government for this? After Su Ying chose to report to the police, he seemed to finally have the idea that "I might be sentenced."

Xu Mingjin only felt funny.

Just as he was secretly laughing at himself, Jing Zhaoyin had already pronounced his sentence without mercy - "three years in prison."

Three years in jail? How is this possible! Xu Mingjin, who looked wilted, immediately felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his forehead.

He couldn't think of anything else. He raised his head and interrupted Jing Zhaoyin's words loudly: "I don't accept it! According to the law of Qi, if someone with low status offends a noble person, it will be ignored if he is killed. The fault lies with others. If you don't think enough, you will kill someone. Atonement! That bitch was trying to protect himself by being humble, and I had no intention of harming his life. Why should I be charged with murder? Please judge the case fairly."

These two laws correspond to two situations, namely: if a noble person is killed for a lowly crime, the murderer will not be sentenced if he is not guilty; for manslaughter and the victim is at fault first, only a ransom will be fined.

Saying this, Xu Mingjin glanced at Su Ying next to him. The meaning was very clear. He suspected that Jing Zhaoyin deliberately sentenced him severely in order to please the real heir apparent of the Duke of Wei.

In normal times, Xu Mingjin would definitely not have spoken so recklessly and contradicted Jing Zhaoyin in public. After all, Jing Zhaoyin was not a small official.

But now, he is about to be arrested and imprisoned, so how can he consider the consequences of contradicting Jing Zhaoyin. He only knows that if Jing Zhaoyin still cares about his official reputation and does not want to be stigmatized, he will seriously consider his words even if he is contradicted and angry.

Lord Jingzhao Yin, who was under unreasonable suspicion, actually frowned.

"As expected, he is a well-known talent in Beijing, and he is proficient in the law of Qi." He praised, his tone became cold and stern again, and he was shocked, "But the inside story of this case is unclear. Was your murder intentional or unintentional? People can prove it. You said that the deceased attacked you first. Where is the evidence? I said that you killed yourself and framed the deceased. How likely is it? "

Master Wang just said it casually, but he hit the truth. Cold sweat broke out from Xu Mingjin's back, and she still had an expression of dissatisfaction on her face, but she didn't dare to say any more.

Lord Wang did not notice his guilty conscience and just continued calmly: "Those who kill intentionally will be punished by being exiled or beheaded. I will only sentence you to three years of probation because I am concerned about the internal situation. Consider all possibilities and make a compromise. "

"As for using the lowly to offend the noble? The deceased had been released from the lowly family many years ago and was returned to a good family. You have no title, no military honors and official positions. You are a commoner. How can you use the lowly to offend the noble?"

Having said this, Mr. Wang sneered again and again, as if he was mocking Xu Mingjin for not knowing how to praise. Could it be that this person still thinks that he is still the former heir apparent of the Duke of Wei?

His unceremonious words clearly meant - you look down on others as civilians, aren't you also a civilian yourself?

Has Xu Mingjin ever received such bitter ridicule and insults? His face immediately turned red and he was speechless.

He couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Lan Xin a slave of the Li family?"

——She personally admitted that she was her own mother’s personal slave! Moreover, along the way, he was yelled at by the mud-legged man and did the menial work of raising pigs. Although he was called "aunt" on his lips, what were his words and deeds other than that of a slave?

Su Ying, who did not understand the laws of this era and allowed Mr. Wang to do whatever he wanted, said: "Of course not."

He retorted seriously, apologizing for Lan Xin: "Aunt Lan Xin has been released to a good place for many years. She and my mother, oh, now your mother, and your mother are sworn brothers, and we are as close as sisters. She takes care of me every day. How can I be a slave because of the care of my elders? That’s why I want to report to the official, I can’t let Aunt Lan Xin die like this.”

As he spoke, Su Ying's eyes were fixed on the blood-clothed female ghost who was clinging to Xu Mingjin's body and transformed into the ghost behind him.

The blood-clothed female ghost looked excited at this time: "Yes, yes, this evil thief has caused me so much misery! I have made him easy for three years! I will enter his dreams every day so that he can never sleep peacefully again!"

I don't know how powerful he is after turning into a blood suit, but this ghost's intelligence has obviously increased a lot, and he can speak much more fluently.

She did not forget to complain to Su Ying: "You don't know something, Sanlang. It was not an accident that you gave birth to the wrong baby back then. The suffering you have suffered for so many years is all because of his mother! In order to protect her son from the turmoil, she You were so cruel to enjoy the blessings of a powerful family! You should have been enjoying the blessings of the Duke of Wei for sixteen years! This guy has taken advantage of you, but now he treats you like an enemy. If you hold a grudge, it will be a disaster sooner or later!"

The blood-clothed female ghost's voice was sharp and harsh. Her crimson ghost image was like a burning blood-colored flame wrapped around Xu Mingjin's body. Her blood-stained hair was flying around like tentacles with teeth and claws. Her voice was as shrill as tears of blood.

"——Kill him, kill him, you must kill him! This evil villain is ruthless and ungrateful. He can kill me today to silence me. He will kill you and the Duke's Mansion tomorrow! Sanlang, you must not let him go. You must kill this evil villain!"

"Okay, okay, kill slowly." Su Ying was extremely perfunctory.

He can't even kill an enemy. He is really a weakling. After a long time of talking nonsense, the color did not deepen at all. The more I look at it, the more I feel that there is a limit to being a ghost in this world.

No wonder there have never been supernatural things in this world. It seems that even if there are ghosts, they can't interfere with the human world, right?

Su Ying was thinking about what use this weak ghost is, and was interrupted by Xu Mingjin's surprised voice.

"Dad, Mom!"

A middle-aged couple with elegant temperament appeared in the yamen of Jingzhao Yin at some point, and came to the court so openly, and even Lord Wang did not say a word to reprimand them.

——It turned out to be the Duke of Wei and his wife who received the notice from Xu Mingyu.

Su Ying looked over curiously and met their gazes.

The two of them couldn't help but have a ripple in their eyes.

"Lord Wang, can you give us some time?"

Duke of Wei Xu Qian said.

The arrival of the two surprised Lord Wang. Lord Wang already knew the background of Xu Mingjin and Su Ying, and probably guessed the purpose of the two, so he agreed after the surprise, anyway, he had already solved the case.

"Dad, Mom!"

Xu Mingjin, who was about to be taken away, couldn't help shouting again. He looked at the two with surprise and joy:

"Are you here to save me?"

His image at this time looked really miserable. There was still a strip of cloth wrapped around his head, because of his struggle, there were a few bloodstains oozing out, his cheeks were pale and bloodless, but he had been away for less than a month, but his body was a circle thinner.

After all, he was a child who had been raised for many years. Seeing him like this, Duke of Wei and his wife couldn't help but sighed.

This sigh fell on Xu Mingjin's heart, which shocked him heavily. As if returning to the days when his father valued him and his mother loved him, Xu Mingjin seemed to have grasped the last straw, and he struggled to break free from the control of the yamen runners:

"——I don't want to go to jail, I'm innocent!"

"——It was that bitch who hurt me!"

"You have watched me grow up! You know me, how could I hit someone for no reason. It was that bitch who hurt me, I was hurt by someone!"

"Child, you have suffered."

In Xu Mingjin's eyes as if he was looking at a savior, the Duke's wife was distressed and tears welled up in her eyes.

She walked towards Xu Mingjin.

Xu Mingjin smiled on his pale and thin face. He wanted to say: I am not suffering, as long as my mother is willing to recognize me as her son. As long as I can continue to stay in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

But as soon as Xu Mingjin opened his mouth, the Duke's wife had passed him and hugged Su Ying, who was standing next to him like a bystander, and tears fell from her eyes.

"You've suffered so much over the years, my son!"

"It's all because I lost you so much..."

Xu Mingjin turned his head blankly, watching the Duke's wife crying with joy while holding her lost and found biological son. The light in his eyes went out and turned into a thick gloom.

Intense humiliation and anger ran rampant in his heart.

Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! All bitches!

Unparalleled hatred burst out of his eyes.

Then, a big hand fell on his shoulder.

Xu Mingjin looked up in astonishment, and his eyes, whose hatred had not yet completely subsided, met with Wei Guogong Xu Qian's eyes.

Xu Qian frowned, and immediately felt that the hasty decision he made before coming here was right: "...It seems that you hate us."

"No..." Xu Mingjin opened his mouth to refute.

"No need to say more." Xu Qian's big hand pressed on his shoulder like an iron clamp, and he said heavily, "Your biological father was kind to the Duke's Mansion, which allowed my wife and children to be safe. The Duke's Mansion has also carefully cultivated you for sixteen years. This is considered to be a repayment of the favor of the past. From now on, we will not owe each other anything."

He showed a bit of melancholy on his face.

"... I originally thought that after Mingjue came back, if you two brothers get along well, you can also help each other and be a family for a long time. Now it seems that things in the world cannot be forced."

It would be a pity to give up the excellent adopted son who had been cultivated for many years. If Xu Mingjin can get along well with his biological son, it would be fine to continue to raise him for the grace of Doctor Li who saved his life. But the things that Xu Mingyu recounted after returning to the mansion made the Duke of Wei and his wife understand that such an idea is ultimately empty talk. In this case, they can only give up one.

Originally, Xu Qian still felt a little reluctant in his heart, but when he saw Xu Mingjin at this time, his reluctance quickly dissipated.

——This adopted son seemed to hate them.

"What happened back then was wrong, how can you make the same mistake again? Everyone should return to their respective positions, which is good for both of you."

Hearing what Duke Wei said, Xu Mingjin seemed to realize something, his eyes slowly widened, and a horrified expression gradually appeared on his face: "No——" Don't say it!

"I have expelled you from the family tree." But Xu Qian did not allow him to refuse and said the next words, "From now on, you are no longer a member of my Xu family, so take care of yourself."

After speaking, Duke Wei looked at Lord Wang, the Jingzhao Yin: "After all, this boy and I have had a father-son relationship for many years. Even if this boy holds a grudge and deliberately kills people to tarnish my son's reputation, please Lord Wang, considering Xu's years of hard work for Da Qi, give him a lighter sentence." As he said, he added, "I dare not ask Lord Wang to bend the law for personal gain, and I have already gone to the palace to ask for His Majesty's oral order."

"Duke Wei has devoted himself to your majesty, and his contributions are known to the court and the public. I have always admired him for a long time. How can such a trivial matter be considered as partiality and perversion of the law?" Lord Wang immediately understood, and a smile appeared on his round face. He bowed in the direction of the palace again, "Since your majesty has made a holy decision, I will listen to your will."

The emperor's oral instructions in the palace were very simple. After listening to Xu Qian, he said, "This is your family affair, you can do it."

The emperor was too lazy to care about how Lan Xin died, so he might as well use it to show favor to his subjects.

Therefore, Xu Mingjin was finally sentenced to "one year in prison".

——Before coming, Duke Wei's plan was to exempt him from prison and "redeem him". He paid a huge fine for Xu Mingjin, and they would no longer owe each other anything. But when he found that Xu Mingjin was actually resentful and realized that his character could not be corrected, he changed his mind and simply let him stay in prison for a year to sober up.

The sentence was reduced by two years, and Xu Mingjin was not happy at all.

It should be said that he felt more pain than before.

Duke Wei was too cruel!

First he was expelled from the family, then he was convicted. In an instant he lost everything and became a dirty executioner.

Xu Mingjin's eyes were red, he almost rushed forward like crazy, but was dragged down by the wolf-like yamen runners.

In the end, he saw his father, who always kept silent and majestic in front of him, wandering to another teenager, showing rare nervousness.

His parents, who he had called father and mother for more than ten years, carefully surrounded another teenager, as if they were looking at a treasure that had been lost and found.

Xu Mingjin could no longer hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood, and he fainted.

At the same time as Jingzhao Yin re-sentenced the sentence, at the same time, the back-up plan arranged by Duke Wei's mansion had been activated, and many true or false stories were spread, which completely reversed the direction of public opinion in Shangjingcheng.

Now Xu Mingjin has become a villain who is unwilling to be deprived of the throne of the crown prince, harbors resentment, and deliberately kills Lan Xin to tarnish the crown prince's reputation; Duke Wei has become a generous elder who does not hesitate to ask the emperor to reduce the punishment for his adopted son, but considering the kindness of Doctor Li in the past, there must be moral gentlemen who condemn the Duke Wei's Mansion for being cold and ruthless; only Su Ying has been cleared of all charges and has become a poor unlucky little pitiful person who has been wandering outside for 16 years and was found one day, but was framed by Xu Mingjin all the way, and even killed people to drag him into the water.

——If Xu Mingjin knew this, he would understand how naive his previous thoughts were.

Duke Wei's Mansion is indeed cautious and does not want the crown prince to be involved in the vortex of Lan Xin's death and be subject to unnecessary speculation and suspicion. But with the power of Duke Wei's Mansion, the truth of Lan Xin's death is not important at all. As long as they give a truth that is beneficial to the crown prince, this truth must be the fact.
