25. Wood shows in the forest

Wu Youzhen led the young man all the way out of the front hall, walked to the winding path in the backyard, and when he reached the end of the ear room, he pointed to the ear room and said: "The old housekeeper is resting here, Doctor Meng wait, I will order someone to call him out." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the maid behind him, and saw the maid bow her head, step up to the steps in a few steps, and knock lightly on the door.

At first, no one answered, but when I knocked again, I suddenly heard a hoarse shout, and then I saw the door be kicked open from the inside, and in the blink of an eye, a knife-wielding and unkempt man came out.

I saw that the maid seemed to be frightened, screaming and running away, Wu Youzhen took a few steps back unhurriedly, and smiled at Meng Heng leisurely: "Doctor Meng be careful, this old housekeeper has completely lost his mind, it seems that he will cut people when he sees them, no one can control them, Doctor Meng must not be hurt by him." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the old housekeeper had already gone straight to Meng Heng, and the firewood knife in his hand seemed to recognize this thin young man, and he was about to cut it off.

Meng Heng narrowed his eyes.

This person claimed that he was lost in his mind, and his six relatives didn't recognize him, but he ran out of the room after beating him, and he was presumptuous in front of Wu Youzhen and the maid, but he only recognized him, how could he look like a crazy person?

Looking at this person's expression again, although he kept shouting in his mouth, and there was a hidden look of rage and madness on his face, his black eyes clearly did not have a trace of the sloppiness and emptiness that a mentally ill person should have, but were extremely clear.

However, in an instant, Meng Heng decided that this person was mentally normal, and the so-called madness was just a disguise.

Knowing this, the smile on his lips deepened.

Using such inferior and direct means to test him is nothing more than to see if he has the ability to win people's hearts in an instant, and the intentions behind this are nothing more than two kinds, one is to be afraid of purging, and the other is to win over and subdue.

It's a pity that no matter what, it won't be the option he wants.

Seeing that the old butler was about to pounce on him, Meng Heng didn't dodge or dodge, just waited for him to get close to him, smiled lowly, and said, "Your Excellency is clearly not crazy or stupid, why do you have to pretend to be like this?" ”

Seeing that the old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and his movements hesitated slightly, Meng Heng keenly grasped this gap, took a step forward, his eyes turned slightly, and he was looking into the eyes of the old housekeeper, and he opened a bottomless abyss.

"The play is over, you can put down the knife."

With just this gentle sentence, I had no intention of glancing at it, and I saw that the firewood knife slid to the ground with a "clang", and the "crazy" person just now suddenly lost his strength and took two steps back.

Wu Youzhen's eyes darkened a little.

He had just seen the boy's movements clearly. In the face of such a dangerous situation, the young man not only did not panic at every turn, but also did not make any other superfluous movements, just like when he had just talked to him, between three words and two sentences, when his eyes met, he restrained the old butler and got out of danger.

Looking at the old housekeeper's expression carefully, he did seem to be a little stunned in a trance, which was very similar to the appearance and posture of the farmer surnamed Wang and the person who robbed money on the street as mentioned in the intelligence at that time.

Wu Youzhen stepped forward, did not apologize to the old butler for his rude behavior, but stared at the young man a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "Doctor Meng can really win people's hearts in an instant. ”

Meng Heng patted the dust on his hands, smiled playfully, and said without concealing it at all, "Not bad." ”

Wu Youzhen solemnly said: "Dr. Meng's talent can be said to be unheard of and unseen, if ordinary people see it, they will think it is a shocking thing." ”

"Lord Wu is too worried." Meng Hengjian raised his eyebrows, hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "If it were an ordinary person, he would not have fallen into such a dangerous place, and Meng would not have to take away his mind, so why is it terrifying?" ”

Although there was a hint of sarcasm in these words, when he spoke, the young man was as indifferent as ever, and his smile was like a turn, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Wu Youzhen squinted her eyes, and only after a while did she smile awe-inspiringly and said, "What Doctor Meng said is right, this official is indeed not an ordinary person." ”

After speaking, he pondered for a long time, and said with his eyebrows: "However, no matter how much the official tries to test Dr. Meng, he must not be able to move Dr. Meng in the slightest, so why should Dr. Meng care?" ”

When Meng Heng heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, and said: "Lord Wu really deserves to be the 'heavenly official' of the dynasty, and his scheming makes him so open, it can be seen that his mind and vision are definitely very incomparable, and he admires them." ”

Wu Youzhen also smiled, and after laughing, Fang solemnly raised his eyebrows, and took the young man's words meaningfully, and said: "The so-called 'heavenly official', but Xuan He is also for a while, if it needs to be long, it must be rooted deep and wide." If you talk about this, it is not as good as Dr. Meng's crown in the world, leisurely and free. ”

His gaze slowly fell on the young man's breezy eyebrows, and he continued: "It's just that Dr. Meng knows that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it?" For example, if a talented person like Dr. Meng is too popular and does not know how to keep his light and obscurity, I am afraid that he will be hated by others. ”

At this point, his tone became more and more depressed and slow, and in an instant, his power suddenly appeared, just like the powerful minister who was above the court.

"Doctor Meng has ever thought of choosing a beautiful forest to climb? In this way, you can really get what you want, based on the world, and you can start and finish well, otherwise I am afraid that there will be regretful things such as hurting Zhongyong. ”

But seeing that the young man didn't seem to be aware of the other party's compelling power, he only squinted his eyes and smiled pleasantly: "Oh? Can you regard the adult's remarks as a coherence for the following? ”

Wu Youzhen smiled and said, "Doctor Meng is good at observing people's hearts, and he is really not bad. That's right, that's what the official wants. ”

"Lord Wu is frank." Meng Heng glanced at him lightly, but saw another look brewing in the man's dark eyes, raised his lips and smiled, and said: "It's a pity that Meng has always liked to be alone, and he has no intention of being a beautiful tree in the forest, nor does he want to ask someone to shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Wu Youzhen heard this, his expression did not change, he only narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he muttered: "Doctor Meng doesn't have to respond in such a hurry, some things look like one thing at one time, and look at another look at the other time, why don't you be patient, ponder for a few days, and distinguish the pros and cons, I believe that Dr. Meng will definitely make a choice that is beneficial to you and me at that time." ”

But seeing that the young man heard this, he no longer refuted, only raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said indifferently: "Since the adult insists on pinning his hopes on Meng, Meng really can't bear to break the adult's mind, so he has the right to think about it for a few days, lest the adult think that Meng doesn't know how to lift." ”

"If Dr. Meng can think like this, he understands the righteousness." Wu Youzhen said with a smile, and then said: "This time I bothered Dr. Meng to come, and Dr. Meng was frightened, and the official was not careful, so I hereby prepared a thin gift to apologize, and I hope that Dr. Meng will accept it." ”

After speaking, the man made a gesture, and saw the entourage who had been waiting for him step forward, holding a mahogany tray in both hands, and presented it to Meng Heng.

There is a warm and delicate jade on it, and there are several ingots of gold next to it, which is really eye-catching.

If it is to apologize, such gifts are too valuable.

The young man only glanced at it lightly, his eyes did not linger, he went straight around the little guy, paced a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Although Meng loves money, he only likes to take the wealth that can be obtained or returned, but this gift is like a thousand catties of burden, and Meng does not dare to accept it lightly." ”

Wu Youzhen frowned slightly for a moment, his eyes froze, and then he had to smile and say, "Even if this is the case, it is inconvenient for this official to be reluctant." It's just that the official hopes that when he sees Dr. Meng again in a few days, Dr. Meng will be able to accept these small gifts from the official. ”

The young man only smiled and did not answer, casually exchanged a few polite words with the man, and walked away.

However, at the moment of leaving, he felt a strange aura coming from this Shangshu Mansion.

Meng Heng paused slightly, turned his head slightly and saw that the man's expression was not the slightest different, so he slightly hooked his lips and left as usual.

Over there, Wu Youzhen looked at the young man's back, but his expression became more and more solemn. He quickly planned a few times in his heart, and seemed to have other plans.
