Chapter 59 The Uncrowned King 25

"Lang, how do you know the secrets about the Xungui's family? Is the source reliable?" After returning to the mansion, Wei Guogong and his wife couldn't wait to ask.

In fact, they prefer that their son is just talking nonsense, and they have to fight back because they were provoked by a group of people.

When those civil servants in the court hall spit at each other, don't they always like to make up nonsense and pour dirty water on each other?Stealing a sister-in-law, bullying a nephew, nothing at all, a literati can make a person's reputation bad 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 lying.Seventy-eight out of ten, if not completely accurate, are true.

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

... How could my son, who had been back in Shangjing for less than a month, know so many things that even they didn't know?

The two had to worry about whether their son had met someone with bad intentions and told him so much to take advantage of him.After all, the status of the son of Wei Guogong's mansion is still very valuable.Now the new party and the old party are fighting in the court, and the forces of the two princes are fighting. Although the Xu family is determined to follow the emperor, who knows if there are any wicked people who want to drag them into the water?

Wei Guogong's son, who has been living abroad for many years and knows nothing about the situation in Beijing, seems to be a breakthrough for someone with a heart.

Su Ying seemed to be ignorant of the couple's worries, but just showed a bright smile: "This is all revealed to me by the new friends I made in Shanghai, don't worry, my group of friends are very powerful, and there is no such thing in Beijing.The door of the house 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 first give it.Isn't this more like a conspiracy approacher with ulterior motives and evil intentions?

Worried about dampening their son's enthusiasm for making friends, the couple tactfully opened their mouths, trying to figure out the identities and purposes of those so-called new friends: "Friends should have contacts, this is the way to make friends. You friends will be such precious secrets.Let me tell you, I don’t know what our Duke’s Mansion can do for them? Since it is your friend, Lang, whatever the Duke’s Mansion can do, without harming nature, law, law or discipline, can be used as a thank you.”

——If it's a request within a reasonable range, it's just to make Lang happy, just thank them.If you really have something wrong with you, then don't blame them for being rude.

"Eh? That's not necessary."

Su Ying glanced at the ghosts who surrounded him like white ghosts, and directly refused for them.

He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, before I came, they were all miserable. Either they were 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 them every day.There is nothing they can do about it, and some of them have been in a daze for many years and have forgotten their past... If I hadn’t happened to meet them, they would have gotten out of the predicament.”

What Su Ying said was all about the real situation of ghosts, but to the ears of Wei Guogong and his wife, they had different meanings: hungry, imprisoned and beaten, vengeance hard to avenge, bad luck due to extraordinary background... In short,Thinking about these contents, they are old and miserable, and they are all pitiful and pitiful, which does not match the style of the conspirators imagined by the couple.

——As for why these people know so much?Don't look at them as miserable, but they are all people with stories.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 Mansion for many years, who may pass by when and where, and overhears the secret.Or share gossip about the prime minister from the servant's network.In short, those who teach nine streams all have their sources of information.

Thinking that this overly lively son of his family has visited almost all of Shangjing during this period, not even missing the beggar's den in ruined temples. It is not impossible to say that he has met so many small characters who are notorious.

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

Thinking this way, Su Ying really heard Su Ying say in a cheerful tone: "... After these people got out of the predicament, they were all attracted by my personality charm, crying and begging to follow me and repay me...I thought that they have nothing to gain, that is, they only know a little bit more secrets than ordinary people, so I just let them tell me stories."

He was not guilty of boasting, and his tone was taken for granted.Wei Guogong and his wife nodded again and again, and they didn't think there was a problem at all, and they didn't think Su Ying would lie to them.

——Yes, my son is such a person!Even if they are a little weaker in knowledge, their character must be first-class!

——Those people in Shangjing who said that he was ignorant and playful, were all blind indeed!Obviously he is doing chivalry everywhere, helping the weak and the weak!

——Now that he can gain the trust of so many people, and tell him all the big secrets, it is his reward for doing chivalry, helping the poor, and helping the weak during this period of time!

On the side, System 333, who saw everyone's demeanor, couldn't help being silent: Good guy, one dares to speak and the other dares to believe!

... But if you look at the ghosts around you who have been squeezed into strange shapes by the host, you will know how they "cry and beg to follow the host to repay the host"!

Although he felt that the host's conscience didn't hurt at all when he spoke, System 333 also decisively abandoned his conscience and said, "I have to say this, you are still too modest, host. If it weren't for your help, theseThe ghosts can only continue to be in a daze until one day their souls fly away like this. To save them in the midst of water and fire, who else would they give up to their host? It is not an exaggeration to go through fire and water with high grace and righteousness!"

"...Now it's just for them to tell stories during the day and pick up ghosts at night. When the host has nothing to do, he can pinch his appearance to relax, and explore his inner research ability. The allocation of 24 hours a day is very reasonable. Anyway, they don't need it.Rest! If it were me, I wish I could have forty-eight hours a day, and use them all to make contributions to the host, so that I can feel at ease!"

After stepping on a group of ghosts who need to be supervised to work, highlighting their initiative and consideration for the host, the small light ball looked at Su Ying on the surface, showing a star-eyed expression.

... Hehehe, no matter who it is, it is impossible to surpass its system 333 and become the host's most trusted right-hand man!

"..."

The eyes of the ghosts couldn't help but look at the small ball of light flying up and down in front of them, with an unconcealable pride, as if they were looking at a treacherous minister who only knew how to slander and flatter him, with incomparable resentment and grief in his eyes.

——Looking at this appearance, I'm afraid they will kneel down in unison in the next second, and say "system 333 is wronging the country and people, please cut 333 to make the world safe" oh!

"puff……"

Su Ying was amused by his brain.

At this time, Wei Guogong and his wife were still exhorting: "Lang, if you hear something from your friends in the future, don't rush to publicize it, tell us... The situation in the court is complicated, and people's hearts are unpredictable.It’s some people who have done shameless things themselves, but if you expose them for nothing, I’m afraid you will be hated, we are not afraid of open swords and spears, but we are afraid of villains plotting against you, it is impossible to guard against!”

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

Otherwise, those families would certainly be unlucky, but Wei Guogong's mansion collected so many black materials and was accused of conspiracy in the court, who knows what His Majesty will think?

But Su Ying said: "Of course His Majesty will be very happy, maybe he will be enjoying himself while eating melons in the palace and watching the play."

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

... My stupid son thought that His Majesty the Emperor was just an old man at the entrance of the village who was free to listen to gossip and gossip.

...Forget it, the son is pure in nature and doesn't understand those conspiracies, so they 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 Wei Guogong's mansion with the reward from Emperor Huiming.

After the whole family listened to the simple verbal instructions, Su Ying had happily accepted the "reward" from Emperor Huiming, and was turning left and right curiously, while Wei Guogong and his wife were still in a daze.

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

Wei Guogong and his wife: ... Is it because we can't keep up with the times?

After the astonishment passed, they quickly realized: this gift is obviously to congratulate the family reunion, but if you really want to congratulate, it should have been congratulated as early as the first day after the person was picked up. The choice of this time is clearly to support their sonmove!

They suddenly fell into deep thought: "Your Majesty's intention..." Is it love for the house and the black, expressing the importance of their own son, or wanting to use the hands of the younger generation to give some people a warning?

But no matter what, the emperor meant that it was right to let Su Ying continue to work, and they didn't want to violate the holy will even if they were worried.

Wanting to tell you something, Su Ying suddenly said: "I almost forgot to say that Li Mingjin's life experience is not simple."

"What?" The attention of the two was immediately attracted.

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

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

Wei Guogong didn't think of this person so quickly, but Mrs. Li had an impression when he heard the name. After all, she was one of the most talented women in Beijing back then, and she passed away early.

She once made a marriage contract with the queen's brother, but died shortly after the engagement. Based on Li Mingjin's age, she was obviously alive and well, so it was a fake death?Dodging marriage in the name of death is elopement?

Such a woman would elope for an ordinary country doctor?Li Shi didn't believe it.

Having dealt with Chen Jiuniang, she also knows the character of the other party. She is aloof and arrogant. She always thinks that if she is not a woman, she will be the champion. How can such a person look at ordinary people?

Even people like Yu Liulang failed to make her fall in love, and instead feigned death and escaped marriage.Thinking about it from another angle, if he dared to snatch Yu Liulang's wife and elope with her, the identity of Li Mingjin's biological father might be extraordinary...

Sixteen years ago, were the two children really accidentally hugging each other?

Thinking of that special time again, when the first emperor died and the kings rebelled... Could it be that Chen Jiuniang followed which prince, worried that the prince's failure would be implicated, so she changed her child?

The more thought about it, the more felt that this was very possible. Wei Guogong and his wife both showed serious expressions on their faces. They didn't care about telling Su Ying any more, and turned their attention to Li Mingjin's life experience.

Especially the identity of Li Mingjin's biological father, if he doesn't find out clearly, it will be bad if someone finds out that something will implicate the Duke's mansion someday.Even if the investigation is now, it has to be done secretly, and it cannot attract the attention of the emperor or other people in any case.

Throwing a thunder out casually, he diverted the attention of Wei Guogong and his wife. Not only Wei Guogong and his wife, but also the whole Wei Guogong's mansion, including the old Guogong and Xu Qing from the second room, would be involved in the investigation of Li Mingjin's life experience.

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

No way, agreed to the original owner Li Lang first, the Xu family is not like the Chu family in the previous world, they can play as they please.Playing can't play, and it's impossible to be as obedient as a real good son, so can only find something for them to do!

With the joy of "Huan Huan Tong", Su Ying hummed all the way to Ink Studio, where Chu Jizhou was already waiting for him.

Looking at the thick manuscript in the other party's hand, Su Ying roughly flipped through it, and Su Ying suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was: "I wrote the first issue of "Secrets of Shangjing" so quickly, I am worthy of being the number one scholar."!"

"...This is all due to the outline provided by the prince." Chu Jizhou was inexplicably respectful to Su Ying, and he smiled slightly, "This is also the first time for me to write this kind of... serialization of a storybook? If it wasn't for the prince's guidance, I really don’t know how to start.”

"—But, is the prince really planning to publish this "Secrets of Shangjing"?"

His tone suddenly became much more serious.

... Others don't know, but he is very clear that most of the content he wrote is based on real facts.If this is sent out, the people who are interviewed will go crazy.

Su Ying flipped through the manuscript without looking up.

"Why not? Isn't the story book written to share with everyone?" It's good for everyone to eat melons together.

"Your Majesty is right, I was thinking about it." The serious and serious expression on Chu Jizhou's face dissipated, he laughed, and resumed his previous sloppy expression, "The story book is written for everyone to read.Yes! The only thing to worry about now is whether the people in Shangjing will buy it or not."

"You're overthinking this. I, the people of Shangjing, everyone loves to eat melons, but our story series has no reputation before serialization. For newcomers and new books, many people always have concerns about new things. Why don't you...A wave of heat?"

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

——What is the hottest news in Shanghai right now?Of course, it is still a matter of the real and fake sons of Duke Wei's mansion!

This kind of news about the heir of the government's heir is really exciting and bizarre. It has been almost a month since the popularity has not subsided, and it still beats other news, ranking first in Beijing's hot searches.

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

——One is the intensified haunting incident, and the other is Su Ying beating the sons of a group of princes in the street.

The two reached a consensus by coincidence: use Wei Guogong's wrongful embrace of the prince as a headline, so as to generate a wave of enthusiasm and attract readers for the release of "Secrets of Shangjing"!

"According to Shizi's suggestion, I wrote eight kinds of developments with the theme of Baocuoshizi. Which one should Shizi choose?"

Chu Jizhou was well prepared.

Su Ying's eyes lit up, and his favor towards him continued to +1+1.

"Ordinary people make choices, of course I want all of them! Anyway, it can be published one issue at a time..."

Chu Jizhou couldn't help admiring him: "I don't hesitate to sacrifice my reputation and let me describe it with ink and ink, just to spread the word "Secrets of Shangjing" to the world, to publicize the truth, and to clean up the filth...the princes in the court are not as good asPrince Gao Yi!"

——After all, writing yourself into the story, and as a villain, is actively defaming your own reputation, just to attract more people's attention, so that the real "secrets" in "Secrets of Beijing" will not be buried.This is sacrificing oneself and revealing the truth to the world!

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

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

Chu Jizhou was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Me? The prince is joking. I am a down-and-out scholar, how can there be any attractive stories to speak of? What people want to see is a high school champion and marrying a princess..”

"Of course I have. I heard that you are the grandson of Prime Minister Cao?"

Chu Jizhou's expression suddenly became complicated: "...it's been a long time since I've heard of Prime Minister Cao."

The Prime Minister Cao, whose full name is Cao Lu, was the prime minister of the late emperor, and he advocated reforms to enrich the country and strengthen the military. However, a few years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister returned to his hometown because of Ding You, and died of illness soon after.

His disciples took over his idea and continued to struggle on the front line of the reform. Several New Party cadres were involved in a major imperial examination fraud case a few years ago, and Prime Minister Cao was also reported. He was implicated in many crimes.Honor One should be taken away.

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

Like a storyteller, his tone became agitated.

"So I bowed down and waited for the opportunity. I will hand over to the ranger, and I will pay homage to the prince and minister. If you can get the appreciation of the nobles, offer your words and suggestions, and plan for the future, it will not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! If you don't get the appreciation of the nobles, sharpen your sword,Act like a knight-errant in Beijing, summon your friends, behead your enemies, and offer sacrifices to your father at the grave..."

In Su Ying's voice, Chu Jizhou's expression changed little by little, first he was surprised, then frightened, and finally, his eyes looking at Su Ying became like seeing a ghost.

—You guys can read minds, right?!

There seemed to be such a line of big characters written on his face.

Su Ying didn't seem to notice it, just tilted his head, and smiled at him: "How about it, isn't the script I'm writing good? This is the most popular counterattack and revenge script throughout the ages, and it is definitely popular in this era."

Against the backdrop of the flame-like red clothes, the boy's smile was as bright and dazzling as a flame.

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

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