Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reasonableness is the Problem
"Then guess how we found you?" Ying Wuxin smiled.
Bai Miaozhen's face changed, Ying Wuxin's question was too direct and bold, what did he want to do?
Wang Zhong glanced back at the hut behind him, waved his hand and said: "It was Lan Zhu who left you a clue, the smell of the sachet, I smelled it when I left the house, she usually doesn't bring the sachet when she goes out or is at home, and she will only wear it when she is in the market or on solemn occasions." ”
Bai Miaozhen chuckled in her heart, and her eyes immediately looked at Ying Wuxin.
Ying nodded with a heartless smile, "Yes, then since you know how we found you, you must also know why we came to you?"
"It's not the first time Lan Zhu has entrusted you with an investigation into the real culprit. ”
With a fixed gaze, Ying Wuxin said: "It's not the first time, there was no result before, where did she get so much money?"
His Majesty the Emperor rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold, which was enough to send a commission, but unfortunately, those who were in charge of the investigation did not complete the task and had to send the money back. Wang Zhongdao: "The people who can find Lan Zhu and want to investigate the truth of the year are all for the sake of Lord Junshou, there is no result, and I know that I have misunderstood Lan Zhu, so I am naturally embarrassed to swallow the money, Ying Daoxia, do you say?"
In the end, Wang Zhongxiao asked.
Ying Wuxin grinned, "I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of person, and I have a basic guideline, the money that goes into my pocket, don't even think about taking it back." ”
"The commission is not like this, it was the life of the Lanzhu family in exchange. Wang Zhong said with a gloomy face.
"It is precisely because it was the life of Wang Lanzhu's family that I will not retreat, because I also have basic principles as a Taoist, and the commission I accept will definitely be completed, and I will never die. Ying Wuxin's face changed, and he was also-for-tat, and he said with a strong momentum.
Wang Zhong looked straight at Ying Wuxin, his fist squeaked, and it took a long time before he said, "Okay, good, good, I hope you will do what you say." ”
"Of course. ”
"There's nothing else, please leave, Lan Zhu still needs to recuperate. ”
"Farewell. ”
Ying Wuxin bowed, turned around and left, Bai Miaozhen had prepared the method just now, but he didn't expect that there was no conflict between the two sides, and he followed with a surprised face.
Halfway up the mountain, the two walked out of the mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them reached the point where they had gone up the mountain, and at this time they were already several miles away from Wang Zhong's hut.
"This Wang Zhong, there is really a problem. Ying Wuxin found a stone to sit down and gritted his teeth.
Bai Miaozhen was stunned, "Why do you say that, I feel that what he just said is reasonable, the person who attacked him is a hidden third person, and there is a master behind him to rescue him, and there is no killer to stop us." ”
"It's because it's reasonable, it's that he has a problem. ”
"Huh?" Bai Miaozhen was even more confused, her face full of doubts.
Ying Wuxin said: "We all underestimate Wang Zhong, although he is just a coachman, but in terms of scheming, he is born with a first-class superb, ordinary people can't detect it at all, even if it is a Taoist in this area, he may not be able to find much, he is an outlier with a mind like a thousand-year-old demon, it is difficult to deal with." ”
"With all that said, why do you think there's something wrong with him?"
"Quite simply, he lied. ”
Bai Miaozhen was stunned, "No, didn't you also say it was reasonable just now?"
Ying Wuxin sneered, "For the question we asked, what he said was reasonable and impeccable, but he ignored what we didn't ask at all, and inadvertently showed his feet." ”
"What?" Bai Miaozhen's eyes widened, and he asked eagerly.
Just now, their conversation with Wang Zhong revolved around asking questions, and the other Wang Zhong didn't say anything, just please take a seat, if his wife is sick or something, is there a problem here.
"Do you remember the first time we went to Wang Zhong's house, and he said that his wife was sick and bedridden?"
Bai Miaozhen let out a sigh, "That's what you're talking about, is there anything wrong? Do you suspect that Wang Zhong lied, her wife was not sick at all, because you saw her cooking." ”
Ying Wuxin shook his head, "No, Wang Zhong is not lying about this, his wife is indeed sick, but it is not an ordinary illness, do you remember Wang Zhong's expression when he said that his wife was sick and bedridden?"
"Look?" Bai Miaozhen was even more surprised, thought about it, and said, "At that time, he seemed to be very worried and anxious. ”
"Then tonight, Wang Zhong said the same thing again, what kind of expression did he have?"
Bai Miaozhen frowned slightly, "I didn't care too much, but I still have the impression that he is still worried and anxious." ”
Ying Wuxin sighed, "It seems that you really don't know about poor people, people who have difficulties in food, clothing, housing and transportation, once they encounter illness, it will be a huge blow to the whole family, because it costs money to see a doctor, it costs money to take medicine, patients can't work, or losses, such multiple blows are fatal to ordinary poor people, even if Wang Zhong's family is better, it will not be much better." ”
"But Wang Zhong's expression is indeed not fake, and I can see that he cares about his wife. Bai Miao said.
Ying Wuxin gritted his teeth slightly, and his nose spewed out two breaths: "I'm not talking about Wang Zhong's expression fake, but you didn't describe it correctly, if the wife of a poor family is sick, the husband's expression will definitely be sad, because once there is a sick person in the family, they will be even more difficult to live a difficult life, so sorrow is the expression they will show the most." ”
"Remember, the first thing a poor family thinks about is how to survive, and everything else is secondary. ”
Bai Miaozhen's face changed slightly, and she nodded stunned.
However, Wang Zhong's expression was not sorrowful, but the embarrassment hidden under anxiety. Why does he feel embarrassed?" Ying Wuxin asked with a smile.
Bai Miaozhen thought about it carefully and said, "Didn't he say that his wife is sick and needs to recuperate?"
"No, no, no. Ying Wuxin waved his hands one after another, "You didn't think from the right angle, so you think it should be, but from another angle, the first time in Wang Zhong's house, we were just strangers at the time, and we would leave after the night, his wife was sick, and we wouldn't visit, why did he feel embarrassed?"
Bai Miaozhen thought about it and shook her head helplessly, "We have been practicing in retreat in the mountains all year round, we have little experience, little experience, and few people we have seen, and I have heard a lot of things for the first time, so I don't know how to judge at all." ”
Ying Wuxin said: "But the reason is the same, for example, someone stole a neighbor's sheep and hid it in his own house, and at this time, a servant came to the door to ask for water to drink, what do you think his expression will be?"
"Nervous, worried and afraid of being discovered, he will resist from the heart, but he can't refuse directly, that will behave abnormally and attract the attention of the officials. Bai Miao said.
"Resisting in my heart, but not daring to refuse on the surface, isn't that embarrassing?"
Bai Miaozhen was pleasantly surprised: "I understand, you mean that Wang Zhong's family hid something that he didn't want us to know, but at that time he was talking about his sick wife, could it be that there was something wrong with his wife?"
