24. Cabinet Chief
Meng Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the man in front of him lightly.
The man should be over the age of not being confused, there is a trace of white hair hidden in his sideburns, and although there is an elegant smile on his face, it is difficult to hide the majesty of the long-standing superior revealed in his eyes. At this time, he only sat there with tea in his hand, and his momentum was full of momentum, making it difficult for people to feel close.
This person's name is Wu Youzhen, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry. This official title is known as the "Heavenly Official", which shows the power of his power.
A few days ago, in the gift list sent to Meng Heng's new house, there was the name of the big housekeeper in Wu Youzhen's mansion, Wu An.
Today, he personally sent a famous post and invited Meng Heng to go to Fuzhong for a talk.
Meng Heng quietly withdrew his gaze. There was nothing psychologically wrong with the man in front of him, but since the reason why the other party invited him to come was that he was worried and restless, he had no choice but to cooperate with the other party, and he had the right to receive a return of money for nothing.
Thinking like this, Meng Heng hooked his lips and provoked a faint smile, and said: "Since Lord Wu has insoluble worries in his heart, he might as well chat and know below, and he may be able to relieve his worries for adults." After speaking, he changed his words again and said: "Of course, if it is inconvenient for adults to disclose, they will not be reluctant to do so, but in this way, the effect of diagnosis and treatment will be slower." ”
Wu Youzhen put down the teacup and said with an indifferent smile: "Where is Dr. Meng, since the official invited Dr. Meng to come, it is to ask Dr. Meng for advice on how to solve his worries, how can he hide it, half-swallow and half-vomit?" ”
When the words fell, the man smiled interestedly, asked the maid to show the young man a cup of tea, and said: "It's just that there is one point, the official has always been quite curious, today I am finally fortunate to see Dr. Meng, and I hope that Dr. Meng will definitely give advice." ”
"Oh?" Meng Heng took the teacup and said nonchalantly: "My lord said it directly." ”
The man raised his eyebrows, his smile deepened, and he asked as if he had inadvertently asked: "This official has heard rumors that Dr. Meng can cure heart disease, but as the saying goes, 'people's hearts are unpredictable', but I don't know how to cure this heart disease?" ”
When Meng Heng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, but he quickly regained his smile, and said calmly: "Although people's hearts are unpredictable, there will always be traces to be found, and words are born from the heart, and there is no other way to cure heart diseases, only to talk and laugh with each other, find one or two loopholes in the words, find the root of the problem, and then supplement it with gentle words to induce him to get out of the knot in his heart." ”
As he spoke, he raised the teacup and took a sip, his expression as indifferent as ever.
Like this question, which is called curiosity but is actually tentative, Meng Heng is not the first time he has encountered it.
The ancients did not understand hypnosis and psychology, and would always overemphasize or attach some sensational things, such as the unpredictable prophet and the study of yin and yang techniques that the chief of a certain criminal prison in Shuntianfu believed in, and the techniques of collecting demons and subduing demons and manipulating people's hearts that His Royal Highness was very afraid of before.
Although he never cared about other people's opinions, doubts, or even suspicions, he did not intend to take on the arduous task of popular science psychology for these ancient people, so whenever he encountered such doubts, he only responded to them in a rough way.
It's just that the cabinet chief assistant in front of him, Lord Wu, obviously won't be as simple as this question, and even the purpose of calling him here today must be different.
Meng Heng quietly provoked a smile on his lips. He is never afraid to associate with scheming people, on the contrary, it is only when he is faced with such people that he will arouse his interest in exploring them and controlling their minds.
Wu Youzhen heard the young man's words, but nodded as if understanding, and then asked with a smile: "So when Doctor Meng was gossiping with the official at this time, he was also probing what the official was thinking, and he induced the official?" ”
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows, and did not see the embarrassment of being told to think about his thoughts, but smiled freely, and said: "Yes, it is true that as Lord Wu said, it is already a habit to probe people's hearts in the next place, and this time when I see adults, I can't help but take a little observation, and ......."
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice slightly, and said in a gentle and gentle voice, as if with inexplicable demagogic power: "I found that adults have a heavy knot in their hearts, and it is difficult to get close to people. It would be better for adults to let go of their worries and be a little more open-minded in their state of mind. ”
The young man's deep and gentle voice was slightly smiling, like a spring breeze, which made people unconsciously intoxicated without knowing it.
The man's expression changed subtly, and the young man's voice rushed into his ears with the seemingly non-threatening words, making him unconsciously follow the young man's hint to think further.
The knot is quite heavy...... Depressed in the heart...... Let go of your worries......
The man's originally hidden eyes were like being soaked in warm water, quietly eliminating the sharp colors in them.
Meng Heng didn't say anything anymore, only slowly raised his glass and took a sip of tea, idly and leisurely evoking a very shallow smile.
I saw that about half a tea time, the man suddenly woke up, and the warm water in his eyes like a mist gradually disappeared, and his eyes regained their deep color.
Wu Youzhen looked at the young man in front of him steadily, and his heart was full of surprise.
He has always boasted that he is calm and determined, and that no one else can change it, but the young man really only talked and laughed, and said a few innocuous words, which almost shook his mind!
Fortunately, the long-cherished wish in his heart has been accumulated for a long time and has long been ingrained, otherwise......
Thinking of this, the expression on his face became even more solemn.
Meng Heng had already taken in the changes in the man's expression, and then smiled slyly, opened his thin lips lightly, and said, "How does Lord Wu feel?" Did you just let go of all those worries a little bit, and your heart was a little happy? ”
Wu Youzhen narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression changed a few times, and then she reluctantly smiled: "Doctor Meng is really as rumored to say, he is talented and has excellent means, and this official admires him." After a pause in his words, he asked in a deep voice: "It's just that I don't know that Dr. Meng did the same way to solve problems for other civil and military officials in this dynasty when he intersected with them?" ”
Meng Heng smiled and said, "If any adult's worries are just ordinary trivial matters, then just persuade them with kind words like just now, and it will be effective." And if any adult has a lot of worries in his heart and it is difficult to return, he will have to work hard a few times, talk with him many times, and persuade him slowly to see the effect. And if ......" came to this, he meaningfully lengthened the end note, smiled slightly, his eyes turned lightly, and a pair of inky black eyes looked into Wu Youzhen's eyes.
"If any lord is like Your Excellency, and has a treacherous mind, so that he can't help but tremble when he looks at it, he will have to use some special methods."
After saying that, he smiled slightly, and a storm suddenly set off in his inky eyes, as if he was about to take the heart of the man opposite in an instant, but in the next second, the rolling waves immediately returned to nothing, calm as if nothing had happened.
Wu Youzhen was in a trance for a moment, only to feel that there seemed to be a gust of wind in her head for a moment, but after a while, there was nothing unusual, as if she was delusional.
He looked at the boy again. But seeing the young man suddenly burst out laughing, he laughed and said, "What I just said is just a joke, and I hope adults don't take it seriously." The tone was full of indifferent smiles and evil idleness, making it difficult to distinguish whether what was just said was a joke or what was said now was a joke.
Wu Youzhen was a little hesitant in his heart, he frowned silently, his face was solemn, and he only thought quickly in his mind.
According to the information he had, there was a lot of strange things about the young man in front of him, and he put aside the so-called "doctor and doctor's heart" for the time being, it is said that a few months ago, someone offended this Dr. Meng, and he did not know what means he used, so he lost his soul, went crazy and stupid, openly robbed and robbed other people's money on the street, and was finally sent to the government, but when it came to the interrogation, he was full of spirit, as if he had changed person, and then asked about the robbery and robbery of money, but he forgot it completely.
Then there is an ordinary farmer surnamed Wang in the eastern suburbs of the capital, who seemed to have been frightened by something a few months ago, and suddenly became completely sane and soulless, which seems to be related to Dr. Meng, and when asked what happened to him, he didn't know anything.
It's like being ...... Manipulated the mind in general.
But he didn't know that this Dr. Meng was so popular that he seemed to only need to look at people? !
Wu Youzhen's brows were slightly trivial, and her gaze at the young man became deeper and deeper.
If this is the case, he can also understand the reason why this Doctor Meng has befriended half of the ministers of the current dynasty in just a few months.
There are also rumors that the boy can exorcise evil spirits and hunt demons, and what happened half a month ago in the Imperial History Mansion of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate......
saw that the young man was also slanting at him, and the smile in his eyes did not decrease but increased, faintly revealing a look of arrogance and calmness.
The boy was threatening him...... Or is it a warning to him......
Wu Youzhen's face became more and more gloomy, and he twisted out a rather gloomy smile for a while, and said: "Doctor Meng is funny, this joke will not be taken to heart. ”
After speaking, he picked up the teacup, involuntarily clenched the rim of the cup, and only after a while did he take a sip of the cold tea that had faded the heat, smiled faintly, and said: "Actually, the official invited Dr. Meng to come this time, not to let Dr. Meng heal the official, but to have other intentions. ”
Meng Heng pursed his lips and smiled, raising his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
Wu Youzhen narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Doctor Meng, there are actually other people who this official wants Doctor Meng to heal." This person is an old housekeeper in this official mansion, who has been taking care of the housework for decades, but somehow, he has recently lost his heart and gone crazy, and he even uses a knife to cut people, no one can control him, and I hope that Dr. Meng will be benevolent and save him. ”
The man's words were neither sincere nor hopeful, and there was a faint look of uncertainty in his deep eyes, and the smile on his lips seemed to have something meaningful.
Meng Heng glanced at him lightly, hooked his lips and smiled lowly, and said, "Why not?" Since the adult himself spoke, Meng Moudang would not refuse. Please lead the way. ”
The man smiled and thanked the boy casually, then got up and led the boy to a winding path in the backyard.
