Chapter 170
Lu Heng was not surprised by this. With Cheng Youhai's flattery, it was normal for the people under his rule to be dissatisfied with him. Instead, Lu Heng was curious about another thing: "You knocked over their meals, and they are still willing to tell you the truth?"
"Yes." Wang Yanqing said rightly, "I knocked it over on purpose, just to create opportunities for them to help me."
Lu Heng picked a strand of Wang Yanqing's hair and fiddled with it. Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly showed his thoughts.
Why?
Whenever he showed this look, it meant that he was serious. Wang Yanqing didn't know how to explain it, and asked, "Second brother, if you just met two people, one has helped you and the other has helped each other, which one would you like more?"
Lu Heng said without hesitation, "Of course he is the one who helped me."
"No." Wang Yanqing shook his head, "Actually, you tend to be inclined to those who ask you for help."
This sentence sounds strange at first, but after thinking about it, it is actually true. Lu Heng asked curiously, "Why?"
Wang Yanqing spread out his hands and said, "I don't know either. Maybe, this is human nature. I don't cherish things that are easy to get. I don't care if I give it out on my own initiative."
Lu Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He pressed his eyebrows, his shoulders shaking slightly with a smile.
"you're right."
Because Lu Heng always had a fake smile, he was called the smiling tiger in private. It was rare for him to smile sincerely, but the only few times he laughed recently were all related to Wang Yanqing.
He laughed enough, and a layer of cold light slowly enveloped the depths of his eyes. Wang Yanqing's words summed up Lu Heng's psychology very accurately, Lu Heng will still guard against the person who is kind to him; but if it is someone he brings back to take care of him personally, and keeps devoting time and energy, how can he treat this person? Not angry, the other party will invade his life at a terrifying speed.
Ready-made examples are at hand.
After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, he found that Lu Heng had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, what's the matter with you?"
Lu Heng didn't know what happened to him. Unexpectedly, one day, he would need the client to remind him that something was wrong.
Since when did his attitude towards Wang Yanqing become so dangerous?
Lu Heng restrained his emotions and said half-truth: "It's nothing, just listening to Qingqing's words makes me feel very dangerous."
Wang Yanqing was puzzled and asked in surprise, "Why?"
"You are so keen, as long as you are willing, it is actually very easy to get a man's favor."
His eyes were full of smiles, filled with broken light, as if he was judging a handful of water in the galaxy. Wang Yanqing was a little embarrassed, snorted softly, and said angrily: "Second brother, how can you say that to my sister? Why should I be careful about this kind of thing."
"Don't be angry." Lu Heng hurriedly coaxed, "I'm just afraid that someone likes you so much that you will be deceived by him."
"No." Wang Yanqing vetoed, with some pride and self-confidence in disdain, "It's just a few things that men think and think. Their lies are too low, so I won't be deceived."
"That's great." After Lu Heng finished speaking, he sighed like a man, "But I'm even more worried."
Wang Yanqing seemed to feel something, and his face froze slightly: "Why?"
Lu Heng looked at her and smiled, but did not speak. He asked, "What did you find out by doing a little trick?"
He took the initiative to change the subject, which means to stop and talk no more. Wang Yanqing changed the subject and said: "They complained about the county magistrate and the prefect. If these people hadn't neglected their government, they wouldn't have been caught in the imperial car. Also, they said that before the court called for labor, some people disappeared for no reason. And one night, they heard a noise in the mountain, similar to an earthquake."
Lu Heng's eyes twitched slightly. This is very important information. Lu Heng asked, "Are they missing from their village?"
"Listening to their voices, it seems to be more than enough."
Lu Heng went to the table to get the files. In the evening, Jin Yiwei brought all relevant files from Wei Hui's residence. Before Wang Yanqing came back, Lu Heng was looking at the disappearance cases in previous years. But there were too many relevant records, and he searched aimlessly, making progress very slowly.
But now, Wang Yanqing provided him with a very important time, before labor.
Wang Yanqing also helped Lu Heng to find it together. Wang Yanqing searched for a long time, but did not find any eligible cases. She leaned over to look at Lu Heng: "Second brother, did you gain anything?"
Lu Heng didn't speak, he threw the scroll on the table, and there was no sincere smile on his lips.
He didn't find any suspicious disappearances either, which was the biggest suspect.
Since December last year, there have been no unsolved disappearance cases in Weihui Mansion. Is the law and order here already so good?
Lu Heng didn't tell Wang Yanqing, he closed the file and said, "If you can't find it, forget it. You've been tired all day, go back to sleep."
Wang Yanqing hesitated: "But there are only three days..."
"It's too late." Lu Heng stretched out his hand, squeezed Wang Yanqing's chin, and said, "I have some confidence in your brother. Since I dare to promise, I will be sure to retreat."
Wang Yanqing immediately calmed down, she always believed in Lu Heng unreservedly, and each time the results proved that he was worthy of trust. Wang Yanqing hesitated and asked, "Are you going to sleep too?"
