As night fell, the night covered the whole mountain village, and the rain was still pouring down, and the rain trickled down the eaves to form a white curtain of rain, and a small stream flowed down the ground.

"Xianggong, since the beginning of summer this year, there has been frequent rain, and I'm afraid that Poyang Lake will be flooded again." Xie Xiaowan said worriedly.

The hall was lit up like beans, and Xiao Nu'er and Xie Sandao were playing backgammon under the lamp. Xu Jin stood in front of the door of the house and looked at the rain curtain outside, and Xie Xiaowan stood beside the bird like a human.

The flood control and flood control capacity of the Ming Dynasty lagged behind modern times by five or six hundred years, and it can be said that it is very fragile, not to mention the rescue and rescue ability after the disaster.

Because of this, every year when the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are flooded, the surrounding area will become a water town, and countless people and livestock will drown, which is very terrible.

Xu Jin hadn't personally experienced the floods in ancient times, so he didn't have a deep understanding of it, and he was worried about another thing at this time. It's dark, Liu Qingyuan hasn't arrived yet, it is estimated that the chain has been dropped, and the heavy rain does not stop, and I don't know if Xie Erjian rushed to the county seat of Leadshan and saw the governor Sun Sui. If even Xie Erjian dropped the chain, then his situation would be extremely dangerous, because the people under King Ning Shizi might be on their way to come.

At this time, the eldest brother-in-law, Xie Yidao, walked out of the kitchen and shook his head vaguely at Xu Jin, obviously failing to ask for something valuable from the mouths of the two thieves.

Xu Jin turned around and walked into the kitchen, he wanted to try it himself.

A pine resin torch was lit in the kitchen, and the two thieves were leaning against the corner of the firewood and straw pile, and the two bowls of brown rice next to them did not move, and they seemed to be quite tough.

Although Xu Deming had asked the villagers to clean up the houses before Xu Jin returned, the roof was not carefully picked up, and water was dripping in several places outside the kitchen, and the water droplets made a soft sound on the stove.

Xu Jinxing squatted down in front of the two thieves, reached out and pulled out the strip of cloth that was stuffed in their mouths.

Zhao Zou and the second thief were beaten by Xu Deming and several clan elders before, at this time the nose was swollen and the face was blue, and he could hardly recognize his true face, which was miserable, especially Zou Erliu, although the chest injury was not fatal, but he shed a lot of blood, and he was very weak at the moment.

When the two thieves saw Xu Jin, they both glared at him viciously, as if they were going to swallow people alive.

Xu Jin said calmly: "Say, didn't Prince Ning send you to kill me?" ”

Zhao Baobao and Zou Erliu both showed contempt, and the former sneered: "Lao Tzu is a thief, he does all kinds of evil when he robs his house, don't talk nonsense, he has the ability to give Lao Tzu a good time, Lao Tzu is not a good man if he frowns!" ”

Xu Jin said disdainfully: "Just the two of you bear are also worthy of being called heroes, a group of livestock dregs, chopped and fed to dogs, not even dogs, your parents gave birth to animals like you is not a good thing, a litter of old animals gave birth to a litter of small animals, they have been animals for generations, they are only worthy of crawling on all fours to eat, and they can't even eat fresh!" ”

Zhao Baobao and Zou Erliu were stunned by Xu Jinyi's series of "livestock", and even the brother-in-law Xie Yidao behind him was a little dumbfounded, brother-in-law, you are a scholar, the head of the dignified examination turned out to be dirty, and he scolded these slippery!

Zhao Zou and the others were stunned and then furious, and Zhao Baobao roared angrily: "Xu Sourzi, Lao Tzu hacked you alive!" After saying that, he struggled to get up, but unfortunately he was halfway up and fell back down.

Anger is right, angry people are the easiest to lose their minds, and it is easiest to set out useful information at this time, these two guys are not afraid of death, and Xu Jin doesn't want to bother to lynch, so he can only use his brain.

Xu Jin picked up a firewood branch and knocked it on the heads of Zhao Zou and the others, and sneered: "Even if you three-legged cats still want to split me alive, Xu can beat you into turtle bastards with a stick now." ”

"Put your fucking Luo Quan serial fart, you have the ability to let Lao Tzu go, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will pinch you to death with one hand!" Zou Erliu scolded angrily.

Xu Jin said lightly: "Let you go, when I am an idiot like you?" You two animals, think that you can soar if you catch King Ning, dream, King Ning can't do anything, and will only be killed in the end and punish the nine clans, and you bad guys who are full of evil will be beheaded by Ling Chi, parents and nephews will be beheaded, wives and daughters have not entered the school as prostitutes and maids, and they are untouchables in their lives! ”

Zhao Zou and the others were shocked and angry, Zhao Baobao laughed angrily and said: "Lao Tzu wants to see who is killed in the end, who is punished by the Nine Clans, and whose wives and daughters are prostitutes for generations!" ”

Zou Erliu sneered: "Lao Zhao, you have a tongue with this sourman, he can survive tonight, Lao Tzu's name is written upside down." ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "Don't be naïve, you think that Prince Ning will send someone to save you two wastes?" Dream on! ”

"Let's see, let's see how Lao Tzu kills you, and him, don't fall into Lao Tzu's hands!" Zou Erliu said and stared fiercely at Xu Jin's back.

Xu Jin thought that Zou Erliu was talking about Xie Yidao, but there was a plop behind him, and he hurriedly looked back and found that the little slave came in at some point, and at this moment he was sitting on the ground with a pale face, and his body was still trembling.

Seeing this, Zou Erliu laughed proudly: "Boy, I'm afraid I have to pee my pants, I have fine skin and tender meat, if His Royal Highness catches ......."

Zhao Baobao next to him bumped Zou Erliu, who came to his senses and swallowed back the second half of his words, staring at Xu Jin in shock and anger, damn, this sour son is too cunning, since this is not equivalent to admitting that it was sent by the prince!

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, Ning Wang Shizi wants to catch the little slave? Isn't he here to kill me?

At this time, the little slave had already been helped up by Xie Yidao, and said with a frown: "Little slave, this is not a place for children to come, hurry up and get out." ”

The little slave turned around and ran out of the kitchen, Xu Jin stared at the two thieves coldly, and said in a deep voice: "King Ning wants to catch the little slave?" Why? ”

Xu Jin was originally very suspicious of the identity of the little slave, so although Zou Erliu was only halfway through what he said just now, it immediately attracted his attention.

Zou Erliu and Zhao Baobao both snorted coldly, and after that, no matter what Xu Jin said, they remained silent, this sour man is cunning, they are afraid that they will be calculated again as soon as they open their mouths.

Seeing this, Xu Jin knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he asked Xie Yidao to guard the two, then turned around and left the kitchen and returned to the hall.

The rain continued to fall, and in the hall, Xie Xiaowan was chatting quietly with her younger brother Xie Sandao, but the little slave was gone.

"Xiaowan, where did the little slave go?" Xu Jin asked hurriedly.

Xie Sandao replied first: "Brother-in-law, the little slave has gone back to the room to sleep." ”

Xu Jin nodded and stepped into the little slave's room. Originally, before leaving last year, Xu Jin cleaned up all the things at home, but before coming back, the patriarch Xu Deming ordered Xu Youguang to prepare the bed and quilt again, and Xu Jin did not need Xu Deming to mention this money, Xu Jin had already privately provided Xu Youguang.

At this time, the little slave was lying on the bed, covered with a thin linen quilt, and even his head was covered.

Xu Jinxing went to the edge of the bed and sat down, slapped his buttocks, and said lightly: "Boy, don't pretend to be asleep!" ”

The little slave sat up reluctantly, a little annoyed, "What are you doing? ”

Xu Jin calmly looked at the little slave's beautiful face, and said lightly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

The little slave said humbly: "Say...... Say what? ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What do you say?" Think about what you have to confess, it's all at this time, if you continue to hide it, I won't be able to help you, or you will leave Xujia Village now. ”

The little slave hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Xu Jin, if I say it, will you still drive me away?" ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "It depends on the situation!" ”

The little slave rolled her eyes dissatisfied, gritted her teeth and said: "Just say it, there is no place to stay here, in fact, my name is Zhu Houxi, and my father is the king of Huguang'an Luzhou." ”

Xu Jin had long expected that the identity of the little slave was not simple, and he dared to be the son of the vassal king, wait, what kind of king?

"My father is King Xing, the emperor's uncle today!" The little slave was shocked when she saw Xu Jin, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, Xu Peel saw that you would dare to spank me in the future, and would you dare to exploit and oppress this son.

As everyone knows, what Xu Jin was shocked was not the identity of the little slave's son, but his father was Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing.

Although Xu Jin had only read the history of the Ming Dynasty before, he knew a little about how many emperors there were in the Ming Dynasty, and the life experiences of these emperors and what major things they had done.

For example, Emperor Hongzhi only married one wife, and there is no one before or since; For example, the current emperor Zhengde has no heirs, so Hongzhi and Zhengde, the father and son, are unique existences.

It is precisely because Zhengde has no heirs that after his death, he can only cite the precedent of the previous dynasty's "brother to brother", and selected a royal family from the side branch to inherit the unification, and this lucky person is Zhu Houxi, the second son of King Xing, that is, the future Emperor Jiajing.

"Oh my God, I actually adopted the future emperor!" Xu Jin's whole person is watt, Xiao is his qi cultivation kung fu is no longer good, and he can't talk about it at this time.

Of course, at this time, the little slave did not know that he would be favored by the god of luck in the future, and now he was just the second son of a vassal king. You must know that the Ming Dynasty has been in Dingding for nearly 150 years, and the old Zhu family's ability to create people is amazing, and there are countless children of vassal kings and clans in various places, so the son of a vassal king is really nothing. Moreover, with the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, the children of the ordinary royal family could only wait for death with a rich amount of money, and it was difficult to do anything at all, even ordinary officials.

Xu Jin's mood calmed down after a while, and he looked at the little slave with a complicated expression, if history does not change because of his arrival, then this is the future Emperor Jiajing.

According to the history, Emperor Jiajing is an extremely smart and willful and stubborn guy, who plays with the ministers in the palm of his hand, and his early performance is remarkable, but later he became obsessed with cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao, and he has not been in court for more than 20 years.
