Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 18 Two Days Are Enough
Zhao Chengde understood.

Although he usually looks rigid and pedantic on the outside, there is another Zhao Chengde in his heart.What Zhu Zhiping meant was to quietly cover up the collapse of the door of Kanglefang.

and many more!They covered up and covered up, but they didn't show him at all?Bribes, nice words and begging, he, Zhao Chengde, can't be bothered?
Ahem, of course Zhao Chengde didn't have any thoughts of corruption, but felt that he was seen and demoted by the people from the Ministry of Industry.Although he, Zhao Chengde, was a small official of the sixth rank, he had gone through the palace examination anyway, was hand-picked by the sage, and relied on his own strength to become a senior official!
At the moment, his face was also a little ugly: "Zhu Yuanwailang means that it was God's will that Zhao was smashed by the collapsed gate?"

The people in the Ministry of Industry are too dumb to speak, no wonder Zhang Shangshu of their household department wants to find their bad luck every day.

Uh, that's not true either.The bad luck for Zhang Shangshu to find the Ministry of Industry is because the Ministry of Industry has too many projects that have collapsed because of cutting corners.Let those projects collapse as soon as they collapse, but every time it still harms human life and people's livelihood.

After Zhao Chengde finished talking about Zhu Zhiping, he gave Song Jingxing a very indifferent look.Pooh, peeking at him, he still feels that Langzhong Song is one of the few conscientious people in the Ministry of Industry.It turns out that they are all raccoons of the same feather!He shouldn't have let him back last night!Wait, people in the Ministry of Industry don't think that Langzhong Song has given him Zhao Chengde's great favor by bringing him back!Ridiculous!Zhao Chengde suddenly felt deeply that last night he should follow what his daughter said, reward Song Langzhong with money, and then reward him with a meal.Then he wouldn't owe him anything!Sorry, sorry!

Song Jingxing kept looking at Zhao Chengde, and naturally received Zhao Chengde's extremely contemptuous glance.

He smiled politely back.

This Zhao Chengde is really interesting.

He is obviously hiding something, but he has to pretend to be timid and timid on the outside.When the two were dealing with the collapse of the Kanghuifang houses before, they had worked together several times on the spot.At that time, he felt that Zhao Chengde seemed to be following the rules, and his ability was completely within the scope of his duties, which seemed a little weird.

Although Song Jingxing had been an official for a short time, he had dealt with officials quite a lot before. Although he felt that his eyes were not as accurate as seeing wood and stone, he suddenly felt that Zhao Chengde should be the same.Not all the officials of the State of Lu are black-hearted.

Zhao Chengde didn't accept Song Jingxing's smile.After he glanced at Song Jingxing, he classified Song Jingxing as a black-hearted official in his heart, and then looked at Zhu Zhiping coldly.

Zhu Zhiping was ordered to come here, so he was naturally prepared to be made things difficult.Besides, although Zhao Chengde was angry, he was quite gentle, much better than some officials who threatened them with extortionate prices.

His smile still hangs on his face: "Zhao Fenglang is serious. Zhao Fenglang was injured. If it is God's will, it is really too much."

Zhao Chengde became even more angry.

Just as he was about to make an attack, he suddenly heard a hearty voice laughing: "Zhu Yuanwailang is really eloquent, and his reputation is well-deserved."

When everyone heard the words, Qi Qi looked towards the place where the laughter was, and saw Manager Hu respectfully leading a middle-aged man in a scarlet official uniform standing not far away.

The middle-aged man was in his fifties, and his hair was already gray.He was tall and tall, with stern eyebrows and eyes. Although he smiled, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Song Jingxing didn't recognize him.From the corner of the eye, Zhu Zhiping's expression suddenly changed.It seems that Zhu Zhiping has met a strong enemy.

Zhao Chengde was overjoyed, so he struggled to get up: "Master Lin!"

At the same time, Zhu Zhiping slightly turned to Song Jingxing, and said in a low voice, "That man is Lin Wei, the servant of the household department."

Behind Lin Wei, followed by a small official of his age, slightly bowed, holding a thick stack of booklets in his hands.

During this battle, it seems that he is not here to visit his second master, but to work.

Manager Hu wanted to wipe off his sweat.

Although their Zhao family is a big family, and they have met and received many officials, but in the past it was always a scene of talking and laughing.Unlike today, swords are on the verge of breaking out, and there seems to be some conflict.

Alas, do you want to keep them for dinner later?What specifications should be used for this!

Hu Guanshi was very troubled.

Lin Wei is the servant of the household department, a third-rank official, and his rank is higher than that of everyone present.

Zhu Zhiping had to drag Song Jingxing to salute Lin Wei.

Zhao Chengde was about to struggle to get up and salute, but Lin Wei strode over, lightly pressed Zhao Chengde's shoulder, and said loudly, "Since Zhao Fenglang is injured, there is no need to salute." While speaking, he looked at him coldly. He glanced at Zhu Zhiping and Song Jingxing, "I don't think the two colleagues are here, why are you here?"

Needless to say, Lin Wei naturally wanted to support Zhao Chengde.

Zhu Zhiping laughed dryly.He thought that the Ministry of Household Affairs would definitely come, and he was already prepared to deal with it.But never expected that it was Lin Wei who came from the household department.Half a year ago, Lin Wei scolded Su Shangshu in front of the hall because of the construction of the Kyoto granary. Su Shangshu was old and frail, and almost fainted on the spot.Although the Holy Majesty immediately sent Lin Wei to other places to comfort the people affected by the disaster, Lin Wei became famous because of this battle.

After all, Lin Wei at that time had only been promoted to be a minister in just a few days.

And even though the Holy Majesty condemned Lin Wei immediately at that time, isn't he back safe and sound now?This means that Lin Wei's status in the heart of the Holy Master has far surpassed that of Su Shangshu.

Since it was Lin Wei who came, Zhu Zhiping quickly changed his strategy.Since you can't fight, then retreat first.Anyway, no one was smashed to death by the gate of Kanglefang.If the household department wants to find bad luck, there must be a reason.

He was about to leave quickly after saying something on the scene, when he suddenly heard Song Jingxing's voice from beside him: "We came here naturally to investigate the truth about the collapse of the gate of Kanglefang."

Song Jingxing's voice was thick and deep, which sounded very pleasant to the ear.

Zhao Chengde looked at Song Jingxing in surprise.

Lin Wei also took a look at Song Jingxing.The young man in front of him was a strange and young face.His figure is also as tall as him, although his complexion is a little dark, but his sword eyebrows and star eyes are also very handsome.He stood there like an upright man.

This new official from the Ministry of Industry is really interesting.

Is he a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or does he want to attract attention?No matter what, Song Jingxing's answer was right in his arms.

Lin Wei smiled slightly: "If that's the case, it's very good."

Zhu Zhiping was furious.

When he came to Zhao's house this time, he didn't want to bring Song Jingxing with him.But Song Jingxing was recommended by Su Shangshu. Although Su Shangshu was old and in shape and was about to retire, he still had some influence.

It turned out that Song Jingxing had been silent all this time, and he was secretly relieved.

It turns out that if people don't make a song, it's a blockbuster.

But what can we do now?He fell into the trap of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Lin Wei glanced at Zhu Zhiping, and then turned his gaze to Song Jingxing: "Mr. Song, within three days, it is possible to find out the truth about the collapse of the door of Kanglefang?"

Song Jingxing smiled slightly, although he smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "Three days are too much, two days are enough."

Lin Wei smiled genuinely this time: "Okay!"

The officials who came to visit the second master left one after another and did not stay for dinner. Guanshi Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to arrange the evening's affairs, the second wife suddenly sent a little maid: "Guard Hu, the second wife has sent a message to ask you to find two capable wives to watch over the fourth girl."
