Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 322 Song Shilang

The little yellow door who was sweeping the floor came out, and respectfully saluted the two who were confronting each other with angry eyes: "Xiong Sitian Jiancheng, Tang Sitianjian chief. You are here, stay next door." How about the two houses? The servants have already cleaned them up."

Xiong Wei immediately snorted: "You can serve us well, otherwise I will sue my sister."

Tang Bin snorted: "How big of a man is it? If you don't move, you will sue. It's embarrassing."

Seeing that the two were about to start bickering again, Song Jingxing walked towards Mingtang with his hands behind his back.

The two looked at each other, but they followed up in unison: "Song Shilang, what are you going to do?"

Song Jingxing turned his head and took a look at Xiong Wei: "I don't mind Xiong Jiancheng observing the sky at night, can I be allowed to enter the bright hall?"

Xiong Wei looked at Song Jingxing very strangely: "At this moment, the inside of the bright hall is dark and steep, what are you doing inside?"

Song Jingxing ignored him and just walked straight to Mingtang.

Xiong Wei and Tang Bin had no choice but to follow closely behind.

Xiao Huangmen followed closely with a lantern in hand: "Song Shilang is diligent in doing things, which is really admirable."

Song Jingxing smiled slightly: "I'm just afraid that it's not suitable to enter the Ming Hall tomorrow, so I went in to take a look when the sky permits."

Xiong Wei screamed strangely: "Song Shilang, how dare you choke me with my words!"

Tang Bin sneered, and said to Song Jingxing: "I have admired Minister Song for a long time. If Minister Song has any errands, please tell me."

Song Jingxing only nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang."

Xiong Wei looked at Song Jingxing, then at Tang Bin, and suddenly said: "Okay, Tang Bin, you are trying to win over Song Shilang..."

"Master Xiong, please be careful." Song Jingxing said in a cold tone, "The duties of this official are bestowed by the Tian family, and my allegiance is to the Tian family. If Xiong Jiancheng has any objections, feel free to report to the Tian family."

He stood there, tall and straight, with a dark hall behind him.

Xiong Wei finally shut up.Naturally, he had investigated Song Jingxing.I heard that this person was born as a craftsman, his status was low, but Su Bo favored him. Although he was dismissed later, he quickly rose to the top within the fastest time. This official position is getting higher and higher.If it was said that Song Jingxing was not ambitious, he would not believe it.His sister, Concubine Xiong Guifei, had told him to beat Song Jingxing skillfully first, and then win him over, but Xiong Wei was not convinced. Song Jingxing came from a humble background, but he rose to the top. Si Tianjian Cheng of the seventh rank who has no sense of existence.It turned out that he was dismissive of Song Jingxing, but now he suddenly felt a little afraid.It is said that the lower the status of the person, the more powerful the means.In order to prevent Song Jingxing from playing tricks on him in the dark hall, he kept his mouth shut.

After the Mingtang was flooded, it has not yet been repaired.Even the inside has never been cleaned.The traces of fire and the accumulated dust of old age, there is a strange smell in the air.

Song Jingxing asked the little Huangmen: "Where were the Minister of Industry and Craftsman Yang burnt to death?"

Xiao Huangmen said: "On the third floor that was burned, I heard that the minister of the Ministry of Industry was burned to ashes." For some reason, when he talked about the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he bit his teeth very hard.

Tang Bin glanced at Xiao Huangmen, but said nothing.

Xiao Huangmen carried a lantern and headed for the stairs: "Song Shilang, Xiong Jiancheng, Tang Zhuzhu, please go upstairs from here."

In the dark night, the lantern in Xiao Huangmen's hand gave off a dim light.Looking around, there are strangely shaped black shadows everywhere, as if there are beasts dormant in the dark night waiting for an opportunity to move.

Xiong Wei suddenly regretted that he should not have provoked Song Jingxing impulsively just now.Who in his right mind would come into this place where people were burned in the dark!
Stepping on the stairs from the small yellow door, the floor creaked. This sound was amplified even more in the dark, and it felt like ghosts everywhere when it heard people's ears.

Xiong Wei regretted it more and more.He shouldn't have stabbed Song Jingxing with words!

Suddenly Song Jingxing said: "If Xiong Jiancheng is afraid, you can go back first."

He was afraid, if Tang Bin wasn't there, he would have gone back long ago.But the Xiong family can't lose!For his sister, Concubine Xiong, he couldn't lose!The Xiong family has been fighting with the Zhu family for so many years, how have they ever conceded defeat?If you admit defeat, it will be a shame to the family.Xiong Wei raised his head and held his chest high, looking at Song Jingxing: "What a joke, am I, Xiong Wei, a coward like a mouse?"

Song Jingxing was silent when he heard this, and only took a deep look at Xiong Wei.

He naturally knew exactly what Xiong Wei was thinking.

He has always been a pragmatic person, and he only wants to do facts, so when Su Bo visited the Song family, he was completely unmoved.Although he has never been an official, when he led craftsmen to work for the government, he experienced the changes in the faces of those officials.He flatters and flatters his superiors, beats and scolds the common people frequently, and racks his brains to deduct the wages of craftsmen.He is dismissive of such an official way.

Relying on his family background, Xiong Wei is just a small Sitian Jiancheng, and he can still boss him around as a servant, so what about other ordinary people?

Song Jingxing remained calm, measuring the dilapidated stairs step by step.

Creak creak, creak.

However, after only walking once, he already knew the situation of this section of stairs clearly.

If there hadn't been that fire, the Mingtang was built by the Tian family to show the prosperity of the Lu country, so it should be magnificent.But with the dim light, everywhere you can see, there are all black shadows that have been burned.

Xiaohuangmen took the lead to climb up to the second floor with a lantern, and suddenly shouted: "Who!"

It seemed that someone was running in a panic, and the sound of chaotic footsteps jumped between the empty floors.

Xiong Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly climbed up the stairs, trembling: "It can't be the ghost of that servant and craftsman Yang!"

Tang Bin walked at the end, and smiled when he heard the words: "Xiong Jiancheng, this is the treasured land of Tianjia, and Tianjia is the real dragon emperor. Where did the ghost come from, Xiong Jiancheng, please don't talk nonsense."

The little yellow gate was holding a lantern, and the dim light was shining on his handsome face: "It's all because of the fuss of the servant, which frightened Xiong Jiancheng. The servant can see clearly that those just now are just wild cats that have not been fed."

Xiong Wei had nowhere to vent his anger, and immediately cursed: "You little Huangmen, you are like a soldier, you are so cowardly!"

I don't know who is timid.

Xiao Huangmen smiled apologetically: "It's all the servant's fault."

Song Jingxing had already walked straight up, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time Tang Bin had passed Xiong Wei, and followed Song Jingxing closely: "Why did Minister Song have to go to the third floor to check? I heard that the minister and Craftsman Yang died terribly back then."

Song Jingxing tilted his head slightly and asked Tang Bin: "I don't know anything about what happened back then. If Master Tang knows, can you tell me the details?"

Tang Bin smiled slightly: "Actually, the lower officials know very little."

Creak, creak, creak, Song Jingxing stepped on the stairs.A few more steps up, is the burned third floor.He could already feel the wind pouring in from the uncovered staircase.

The wind was whistling, as if someone was crying.

Song Jingxing turned his head to look at Tang Bin, and asked, "Who is that servant, what is his name, and where is he from? Do you know these Tang masters?"

Tang Bin was stunned: "This, I really don't know very well. That servant, seems to be surnamed Lu? Or Ma?"

"What land and horse?" Xiong Wei pressed close to Tang Bin, and said in a rough voice, "The servant's surname is Song, and he is from Kanghuifang in Kyoto. It turned out that Xiao Li single-handedly pulled him up. Later, Xiao Li's house was ransacked, and he remained unknown. Later, when the Tian family wanted to build Ming Tang, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and presided over the construction of Ming Tang. Who would have thought that Song Shi Lang, like Xiao Li, was greedy and built Ming Tang During the process of embezzlement and bribery, Craftsman Yang found out, and the two quarreled. The servant Song did nothing but stabbed Craftsman Yang to death, and set fire to Ming Tang before he died. If the two of them didn't inhale the smoke, they must be dead."

Tang Bin looked at Xiong Wei in amazement: "Xiong Jiancheng can save these things, which is really rare."

Xiong Wei was angry again: "You!"

The little yellow gate passed the two of them, and removed the wooden planks that covered it: "Song Shilang, please."
