Chapter 70
"Old Xu, hurry up! I'm off work, and I'm making an appointment with the third child to have a drink!"

"Right away, right away, wait until I tie this piece tightly."

"Ouch, let's do it tomorrow!"

Although the workers kept urging him, Lao Xu, who was climbing on the high part of the scaffold, insisted on fastening the joints of the poles firmly.

Generally speaking, bamboo is usually used as a material for scaffolding considering cost, ease of transportation, and construction efficiency. However, the scaffolding, poles and large crossbars built inside and outside the gate of this house are made of wood. If you look closely, you will find that, The height of the poles that have been erected has been pushed up to the roof, supporting the beam frame.

It turned out that this was the renovation project of the Lihuiyuan.The Courtyard of Ceremony is located in the southwest corner of Chongrenfang. It is the place where the wedding ceremonies are held when Princess Jokhang, the Princess and the County Lord get married.It was originally the residence of a certain princess in the previous dynasty, but later half of it was used as a ceremony place.

During regular inspections by the Ministry of Industry, it was found that the upper structure of the gate of the Lihuiyuan house was loose. In order to conduct further detailed inspections and consider safety issues, a wooden frame was specially built to bear the weight.However, if it is found that the situation is serious and it is really necessary to replace the roof components and replace the beams and columns in the future, then the work must be carried out after transferring the load through drilling. This is a big project.

At present, the project is still in the stage of building the scaffolding. According to the plan, the building will be completed tomorrow and the detailed inspection will start.Old Xu has always been hardworking and willing to work. Not only is today's work completed today, but others leave early for a while, but he can't wait to work all night, and it's best to finish it in one go.

Of course, the workers absolutely disagree.

"Okay, old Xu, it's getting dark and you can't see here, so hurry up!"

"I'm coming!"

Pingkang Square.

The sun is setting, the night is falling slightly, and the lights are just coming on.But after nightfall, the most lively and bustling area in the city is naturally the area around Pingkangfang East City.Until the midnight curfew, there was a lot of people here, and the sound of drums and music was endless.Some people will directly rest in Pingkang Fang, not to return to the night, looking for fun all night.

However, this one is not included.

Just after the drum was beaten, the man came out from Pingkangfang with a lantern in his hand, and walked slowly to the north.He was wearing ordinary clothes, the clothes had been washed many times, and they were already a little gray, obviously he was not a son of a wealthy family.From the fact that he came out from the north gate, it can be seen that he went to Yiqu along the wall in Beili. Most of the people who lived there were prostitutes serving Israeli servants. Because they were not very talented, they usually charged low prices.

Because the houses in Beiqu are close to the wall, and some parts are even directly next to the street, so when you walk by the side, you can hear the groaning sound from the other side of the wall.The man seemed to shy away from the cheers, and when he left the square, he crossed the street and habitually walked under the south wall of Chongren Square opposite.

Chongren Square can be said to be one of the most expensive areas in Chang'an City, but at night, compared to the bustling Pingkang Square, it seems much quieter.The man's gait was slightly unsteady, probably because he drank alcohol and was a little tipsy.Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of thin air in front of him, and he almost ran into it.After a closer look, it turned out that the black shadow was the pole of the scaffolding.

The night wind blew past, and the man was a little awake. He was about to bend to avoid it, when he heard a strange muffled sound in his ears.The voice was vaguely inaudible, but it carried a hint of ominous signs.Before he could recover, the deafening bang exploded.

right next to his ear.

A heavy shadow enveloped him in an instant.
