Chen Yuxuan was in a cold sweat from that look. When the commander looked at people like this, someone would often be unlucky. Chen Yuxuan pinched himself heavily, forcibly calmed down, and said to the Liang family with a stern face, "This girl is the younger sister of my servant, not my servant. I hope you don't misunderstand me, if you despise her, you despise me. ."
Chen Yuxuan had always been polite before, but his face suddenly changed unexpectedly. The Liang family originally thought that this was Chen Yuxuan's concubine, but they only showed some ideas, and Chen Yuxuan became serious, and even said "slaughter her is to despise me". The Liang family looked at each other in dismay, not understanding the identity of this woman, but at least they knew that this woman could not be neglected.
In this way, Wang Yanqing's question just now cannot be ignored. Liang Wenshi was originally unwilling to surrender her identity to talk to a servant girl, but with Chen Yuxuan's statement, she had to come forward and replied, "My concubine can't answer this. When the master was alive, he was eccentric. Now that the master has passed away, no one can care about him. I am filling the house, and it is not easy to ask about the eldest young master. When I saw him going out, I just thought he was going out to visit friends as usual. I didn't know he was gone. I've never experienced this kind of thing before. I was so frightened that I quickly called the third old man to come up with an idea. As for what troubles the eldest young master has in his heart... He never told his family, How do I know?"
When Liang Wenshi spoke, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang Yanqing. When she greeted guests at the door earlier, she noticed that there was a woman with a striking figure in Chen Qianhu's team. Now that she looked closely, she realized that this woman was not only beautiful, but also had an excellent appearance. Liang Wenshi was surprised, her eyes fell to the side, and she noticed that the man next to him was also dignified and dignified. Liang Wenshi was both shocked and suspicious. Are these two people just servants of the Chen family? Are there such people in the world
Wang Yanqing didn't care about Liang Wenshi's eyes, and stared at Liang Wenshi's face the whole time. Wang Yanqing noticed that Liang Wenshi's eyes were erratic when she spoke, and her eyes moved quickly. When talking about Liang Rong's strange behavior, her upper lip was slightly raised, and the corners of her left and right lips were higher and lower, but when she said that she didn't know where Liang Rong went, she But he pursed his lips.
Wang Yanqing hummed in her heart, thinking that Liang Wenshi was lying. When Liang Wenshi mentioned Liang Rong's disappearance, her expression was sad and helpless, and her voice was about to cry. No matter how she looked, she looked like a powerless stepmother, but the subtle movements on her lips betrayed her. Liang Wenshi is very hostile to Liang Rong, and she knows where Liang Rong is going.
Wang Yanqing asked, "Mrs. Liang, do you still remember the day Liang Rong disappeared?"
Liang Wenshi put his fingers on the veil, frowned for a while, and said, "It seems to be the seventeenth of last month."
Same as what the maid said. Wang Yanqing noticed Liang Wenshi's tightly clenched hand, but didn't make a statement, and asked, "Why is it the seventeenth day? Is there anything special about this day?"
Liang Wenshi picked up the veil, pressed his cheek, and said, "How do I know? Who is the girl, and why do you pay so much attention to the affairs of our eldest young master?"
When Wang Yanqing asked, Lu Heng stood beside him and listened quietly. Hearing Liang Wenshi's words, he raised his head and glanced at her calmly: "Why, can't you ask? No one reported Liang Rong's disappearance for half a month, and now you only ask about the time of her disappearance, and you will shirk in every possible way. What do you want to do? what?"
At that moment, Liang Wenshi seemed to be stared at by something cold and was so frightened that he couldn't move. The other three clan elders were also a little surprised and looked at each other.
Is this really the bodyguard of the Chen family? As a squire, he is too provocative and handsome. The most important thing is that he is not angry and arrogant when he speaks. He doesn't look like a follower, but more like Chen Yuxuan's master!
Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Yuxuan quickly stepped forward and said, "If Young Master Liang went out on the 17th last month, and he hasn't come back now, it's really not right. Jinyiwei usually clears a batch of inventory before the end of the year, maybe in a few days, Chen Du will command the envoy. Commander Lu and the commander-in-chief will have to look at the case of the Liang family attacking thousands of households. At this time, Young Master Liang is missing, and it may be troublesome to spread it. Where is Liang Rong's room, I'll go and see, maybe I can find some clues. "
Liang Wenshi frowned and said, "How dare you bother Chen Qianhu about the family affairs of the concubine. Qianhu still has to go back to his hometown to get married, if the time is delayed..."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Liang and I have known each other, and I have always regarded Brother Liang as the eldest brother. Now that Brother Liang is gone and the eldest young master is still missing, how can I ignore it? I don't know where Liang Rong's room is. Is it convenient to see?"
Chen Yuxuan offered to help, how could the clan elder refuse? Without waiting for Liang Wenshi to speak, the clan elder folded his hands and said, "What's the inconvenience of this, Chen Qianhu is willing to help, we are very grateful. Madam, please show Chen Qianhu the way."
Liang Wenshi opened his mouth and held back what he wanted to say. She stood up, squeezed the handkerchief and smiled: "Then it's time for Chen Qianhu. Qianhu came here with his concubine."
Liang Wenshi smiled naturally, but after she finished speaking, she quickly licked her lower lip. Wang Yanqing had a panoramic view of everything, she took a step back and let the door open. Liang Wenshi led Chen Yuxuan to walk in front of her, followed by the three elders of the Liang family and Liang Bin. After everyone went out, Lu Heng said to Wang Yanqing, "Let's go."
Wang Yanqing nodded, took up her skirt and went out, Lu Heng followed behind her. By going out, Wang Yanqing whispered to Lu Heng, "She's lying."
Lu Heng snorted, not looking surprised, but asked with interest, "Why?"
"When I asked her about the seventeenth day, she kept covering her face with something. When Chen Yuxuan proposed to visit Liang Rong's residence, she licked her lips. Being nervous makes her mouth dry, and Chen Yuxuan's request made her nervous."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows in admiration. Dry mouth when nervous is an instinctive reaction of the body and is not controlled by thoughts. I am afraid that Liang Wenshi didn't realize it, she licked her lips.
Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing fell behind because of their words. When they followed, Liang Rong's room was already crowded with people. Liang Wenshi took out the key and unlocked it without any exception. Wang Yanqing stood far behind the crowd, watching Liang Wenshi's movements, and asked, "Liang Rong just went out, but it's not like he won't come back, why did you lock the door?"
Liang Wenshi's hand paused for a while, then he turned the key and said, "There are many people who have come to offer incense to the master recently. People come and go. I was afraid that something was missing, so I locked it."
Wang Yanqing responded lightly. She looked at the opposite room, which should be Liang Bin's residence, but it was not locked. Liang Wenshi finally opened the door. She pushed open the door, and instead of entering the room, she stopped by the door and said, "This is the room of the eldest young master. It hasn't been cleaned for several days, and there is a lot of dust inside, which makes the adults laugh. ."
It has been locked for several days without ventilation, and the smell in the room is really not good. But Chen Yuxuan worked in Jinyiwei, and he had never seen any scenes. This kind of environment was nothing to him at all. Chen Yuxuan took the lead in entering the house, and the three elders of the Liang family also followed after seeing this.
It was cold in the twelfth lunar month. There was no fire in the house for more than ten days. How could the old Liang family let the thousands of adults from the capital suffer such neglect, and immediately said: "Bring the charcoal fire, be careful to freeze Chen Qianhu..."
Chen Yuxuan seemed to be walking around the room, but he was actually paying attention to the rear. He glanced at the commander and the mysterious lady Wang entering the room. He understood and immediately said, "Don't bother, I'll just walk around. Mrs. Liang and the third elder don't need to accompany me, I can see for myself. ."
How dare Liang Wenshi and the clan elders let Chen Yuxuan see it for himself, Quan Yi also followed behind Chen Yuxuan. Chen Yuxuan attracted most of the attention, and no one paid attention to the rear. After Wang Yanqing entered the room, he looked at it. It was a three-bay wing room, the middle of which was opened up and connected by a partition fan and a screen. Two pairs of landscape paintings hang on the middle wall, and below are tables and chairs for guests; the south room has beds and bedding, which is the place to sleep; the north room is transformed into a study, and there is a bookshelf against the east wall. There are books on it. In front of the bookshelf is a set of huanghuali tables and chairs. The table is complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There is a small couch on the north wall.
Chen Yuxuan, Liang Wenshi and others went to the dormitory to see. Lu Heng didn't squeeze into a crowded place, but turned around and went to the north room. Wang Yanqing glanced at the main room and followed him to the study.
When Wang Yanqing entered, Lu Heng was turning over the things on the huanghuali wood table. He pressed his fingers on the recess of the inkstone, tried the hardness, and suddenly picked up a pen from the pen rest. Wang Yanqing walked over and asked softly, "Second brother, what's the matter?"
Lu Heng swept the brushes hanging according to the size and thickness on the eye-pencil holder, gestured to Wang Yanqing for the tip, and said, "This pen has not been washed."
Wang Yanqing stood behind Lu Heng's shoulder and looked closer. Sure enough, the tip of the pen was stained with ink. Wang Yanqing looked at the pen holder, the hairs on the pen holder were pale gray, obviously cleaned. Wang Yanqing glanced at the furnishings on the desk and said, "This pen is placed on the pen pillow. It should be something he often uses or has just used up, so he didn't have time to clean it?"
Lu Heng was noncommittal, he put the brush back in place, turned around, and walked towards the bookshelf. Wang Yanqing noticed these books as soon as she came in. She stopped in front of the bookshelf, looked at the dense number of books in front of her, and sighed sincerely, "He is the son of a military officer, and I didn't expect there to be so many books. Could it be that Liang Wenshi said he was very Weird reason?"
The book is placed flat on a wooden shelf, with a bamboo stick at one end, and the name is marked in small letters on it. Lu Heng looked at the bookshelf for a while, then suddenly pulled out a book. He turned two pages and said with a smile, "It's really weird. He came from a family of Jinyiwei, and he likes to read books. He doesn't read the Four Books and Five Classics, but some strange stories. This kind of character is quite rare among Jinyiwei."
Wang Yanqing asked, "What is the common character of Jinyiwei's children? Is this the second brother?"
Lu Heng flicked a page with his fingers, flipped through it slowly, and said slowly, "No. I'm a freak too."
Wang Yanqing laughed, walked over and said, "Second brother, it's not surprising, hey, why is it wet here?"
Several pages of the book in Lu Heng's hand were wet, and the edges were wrinkled, with light brown marks on it. Wang Yanqing stepped forward and sniffed, Lu Heng was holding a book in his hand, but she didn't expect her to approach suddenly, so he quickly covered her nose with the back of his hand: "You are so courageous, be careful of poison."
Wang Yanqing pushed his hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "It's fine if you hold it by yourself, I just took a closer look and smelled it, but I didn't touch it."
Lu Heng closed the book, put it back in place, and said, "This is different."
"What's different." Wang Yanqing said, frowning slightly, trying to recall the taste just now, "The thing on it seems to be tea? Did he read the book so carefully that he poured the tea on it?"
"Fortunately, it's tea, what if it's poisonous?" Lu Heng wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, then held Wang Yanqing's shoulders and took her away from the bookshelf, "Your fault is not good, you have to change it."
The desk took up a large part of the space, and only a narrow aisle was left, and the two of them had to pass close together. Next to it was a couch with a small table in the middle, which seemed to be a place for Liang Rong to rest when he was tired of reading. Wang Yanqing just glanced at it and looked away, but Lu Heng seemed to be very interested in this couch. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly bent down and looked at the edge of the couch.
Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng looked at each other and saw that there were a few scratches on the black wood paint on the side rail. They were very thin, and the color was still very new. Lu Heng pressed the scratches with his fingers, and his eyes swept across the couch, as if measuring the distance. Wang Yanqing waited for a while and tried to ask, "Second brother, what did you find?"
Lu Heng stood up, clapped his hands, and shook his head silently. The other people had already finished reading the bedroom. Liang Wenshi found that Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing had been in the study, and hurried over to ask, "Why are you two here? Come out and talk."
Liang Wenshi's voice was high and sharp, and it suddenly sounded from the door, which was startling. Lu Heng didn't make a statement, but actually came out. Chen Yuxuan and the clan elder had already stopped at the door, and when they saw them coming out, they walked towards the main room together.
Wang Yanqing deliberately fell at the end. When the people in front were not paying attention, she approached Lu Heng and said in an air voice, "She usually does not speak like this. When she came to the study to find us just now, her voice became sharper and louder than usual. She saw us. Checking the study room is stressful."
Lu Heng was much taller than Wang Yanqing. She didn't want the people in front to hear her, so she could only stand on tiptoe and try to get close to Lu Heng's ear. When she was talking, the breath of the air slammed on Lu Heng's neck, making him itchy. Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing's hand, leaned over and asked, "Huh?"
Wang Yanqing thought Lu Heng didn't hear it, so he had to say it again. After listening to Lu Heng's lips, he looked back and glanced at Wang Yanqing with a half-smiling smile: "You are really fine with people, you even noticed the voice?"
After coming out this time, Lu Heng found out that not only must he control his expressions, but also his movements, body parts, and voices. Even if the volume is a little higher than usual, Wang Yanqing will hear it. Lying in front of her is really hard.
Wang Yanqing told him about the murder case, but he even joked. Wang Yanqing glared at him with his quiet lake-like eyes, and said displeasedly, "I'm talking to you seriously."
In this position, the two of them were so close to each other that Lu Heng could feel the warm fragrance in Wang Yanqing's collar. He clenched Wang Yanqing's hand and led the scolding obediently. The two of them delayed like this, and they fell far away from the person in front of them. Liang Wenshi felt that these two were very strange, so he quietly paid attention to them on the road. When he realized that they had fallen behind, Liang Wenshi couldn't help looking back, frowned and asked, "Chen Qianhu, what is the relationship between these two servants in your house? ?"
Even if Wang Yanqing was not Chen Yuxuan's concubine, it would be against etiquette for a maid and guard to be so close. Chen Yuxuan tried his best to pretend to be blind all the way, but he was pointed out by Liang Wenshi. He touched his nose and said with a smile, "Mrs. Liang doesn't know anything. These two are... brothers and sisters. You don't have to shy away from men and women."
Liang Wenshi snorted, glanced back, and couldn't help muttering: "Brother and sister? They don't look very similar..."
Chen Yuxuan could not hear it. After such a tossing, Wang Yanqing also found that the person in front was talking about them, Wang Yanqing subconsciously wanted to back away, but Lu Heng stopped her. Lu Heng's fingertips slowly rubbed Wang Yanqing's wrist bone, and said casually, "Why am I not serious. I also count on Qingqing to help me solve my doubts."
Does she help him? Wang Yanqing raised her eyebrows, expressing her suspicions. She felt that Lu Heng had already deduced the matter almost, and she didn't need her help to detect lies at all. Wang Yanqing lowered his voice and said slowly, "I don't dare to do it. Second brother has a clear mind. Why do I need to do so much? Instead, I am at a loss."
Lu Heng let out a low laugh, looked at her with serious eyes, and said, "I don't agree to this, Qingqing helped me a lot today. But there is one thing I don't understand, the Liang family's rules are still in the way. Seriously, why did the Liang family's daughter commit adultery? Qingqing, Qu Zhi, I rely on you."
