At about the time, Wang Hao, who had just been appointed as the Secretary of the Street Secretariat for only one day, called his good brother Zhang Sanmu, and Sun Youcai, who was dismissed from the Secretary of the Street Secretariat. Their group of three left the Secretary of the Street Secretariat and went straight to Hanlin Lane where the Censor Wang Gongchen lived.

Compared with the previous mobilization of troops to call more than a dozen soldiers from the street department to remove the two big stone lions in front of Xia Shu Mansion, this time, Wang Hao was only three people, which seemed a bit low-key.

Wang Hao, who walked out of the street yamen, was carrying a small wooden barrel in his left hand, covering it with a wooden cover. He didn't know what it was inside, and Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai who were with him.

In addition, Wang Hao was holding a wooden stick about one foot long in his right hand. As for what Wang Hao used this stick to do, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai didn't know.

The three of them walked east along Liangmen Street, passed Liangmen in the inner city, and continued to go east, passing through the West Gate Tower, Right Yemen, Xuande Tower, Left Yemen, East Gate Tower, and East Gate Tower, and then arrived at Pan Tower.

Go east along Panlou to Cross Street.

It is called Panlou Street, also known as Tushizi.

It is also known as Zhugan City.

There are many horns and tea shops on both sides of the street. They start lighting up the lamps every day at the fifth update, and there are also many shops selling clothes, drawings, garlands and collars. They wait until dawn to disperse the market.

This is called "Kishizi" by people living in Tokyo.

Walking eastward at Panlou Street, we will reach an intersection, and the famous Sang Family Wazi is at the southwest corner. Wang Hao passed by the Sang Family Wazi's door and felt even curious, so he stopped and watched for a while.

I saw inside the Sang family's tile, there were tile lotus shed, peony shed, and liwazi Yasha shed, among which the largest one was the Xiang shed.

It can accommodate thousands of people. The wooden sign hanging outside said the performance list of Ding Xianxian, Wang Tuanzi, Zhang Qisheng and others.

There are not only wonderful entertainment programs in the tile, but many people also sell medicine, hexagrams, drink old clothes, explore, eat, shaving, paper painting, and so on.

Listening to the explanation of Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai who were accompanying him, these people lived here all day long.

It's not until dusk that it's so lively.

In addition to the Sangjia Wazi in the southwest corner of the street, there are Zhongwa and Ciriwa in the north near the street.

Among them, there are more than 50 large and small railings, which are also very lively all day long and make people linger.

Now, if it weren't for official business, Wang Hao would have wandered around these tiles and saw what performances there were, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful about this.

As soon as I passed the intersection on the east side of the Sang Family Wazi, I saw a large residential area ahead, which was arranged on the north and south sides of the street. At first glance, I felt like I couldn't see the end.

Just on the south side of the street, there are two alleys about three meters wide. According to Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, the alley on the west side is Xishanlin Lane, and the alley on the east side is Dongshanlin Lane.

Because Wang Gongchen was the first Jinshi in high school when he was eighteen years old, and ranked first in the Gengwu class. He was highly appreciated by Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen, and specially awarded him the name "Gongchen".

Two years ago, Wang Gongchen was promoted to a Hanlin Bachelor of Science and the Court of Justice by Song Renzong. As a permanent official in Beijing and a senior official in the court, Song Renzong rewarded him with a large mansion in Hanlin Lane with three entrances and three exits to live.

In this large mansion, the front yard is in Xihanlin Lane and the back yard is in Donghanlin Lane. The side house, which was reported as an illegal building by Sun Youcai, is located in the back yard, next to Donghanlin Lane.

In view of Wang Gongchen's good political achievements in charge of the Judicial Office, and Wang Gongchen, on behalf of Emperor Renzong of Song, received envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom twice. Faced with the two unreasonable demands from the Liao Kingdom's envoys to demand territory from the Song Dynasty, he was unwilling to be outdone and argued, denounced the envoys of the Liao Kingdom's arrogance and unreasonableness and the greed of the Liao Kingdom's monarch, which made the Liao Kingdom dare not act rashly to attack the Song Dynasty.

Based on this, Wang Gongchen was promoted by Emperor Renzong of Song again and was promoted to the Chief Censor of the Censorate, and was in charge of the Censorate. This was the highest level of the censor at that time. He made many suggestions, but they were adopted by Emperor Renzong of Song, which was deeply trusted by Emperor Renzong of Song.

If Song Renzong needed to rely on Xia Shu for using troops against Xixia on the northwest border, then he also trusted Wang Gongchen very much in dealing with the affairs of the Song Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Shun and Wang Gongchen were Song Renzong's left and right hands. They were only dealing with the matter of invading streets and occupying roads and illegal buildings, but they found the heads of the two of them. This is indeed a great irony.

Under the leadership of Sun Youcai, Wang Hao and Zhang Sanmu walked into Donghanlin Lane. He observed that according to the "top wood" in the west of the alley, Wang Gongchen's backyard was next to the side room on the west side of the alley, which exceeded the "top wood" by about one zhang.

When he walked to the small gate of Wang Gongchen's backyard, Wang Hao felt that he should be treated first and then soldiers when he went to Xia Shu's mansion. After all, he should still be respectful to these officials in the court, and try not to turn against each other if he can't tear his face.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao put down the small wooden barrel and a wooden stick in his hand. He walked forward by himself and knocked on the small door of Wang Gongchen's backyard three times.

After a while, the small door of the backyard opened from the inside. A servant who looked less than a young man walked out and looked to Wang Hao, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who were standing outside the door wearing a "green shirt and collar" public uniform, first bowed, and then asked very politely: "I wonder what are the things that the three officials from the street yamen knocked on the small door of my backyard?"

Originally, Wang Hao thought that the servants who came out to receive their family would be as arrogant as Deacon Zheng of the Xia family, but a young servant came. He spoke so politely, which made Wang Hao breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that what happened next should be much easier.

"You guy, please inform your family of the Censor General of the Censor, and say that Wang Hao, the Secretary of the Street Department, came to ask for a meeting, and he would like to hear something important." Wang Hao lowered his posture and bowed to the young servant standing in front of him, and said.

This young servant was still not well-informed. He thought that the street Sicheng, who was a few years older than him, was standing in front of him, to his family's Censor Central Chief, to send gifts to their family's official.

After all, before serving as the Chief Censor of the Censor, his master Wang Gongchen was in charge of the Judicial Officer's Court and had the right to be promoted and demoted to officials who were less supervised in the capital. The Street Secretary was an eighth-rank official, so he was naturally under the jurisdiction of the Judicial Officer's Court.

Now, even though Wang Gongchen left the Court of Justice, all officials from the Court of Justice would sell his face.

It was precisely because of this reason that Wang Gongchen set a rule for all the servants that whenever the fifth-rank official army stationed in Beijing came to visit, they would refuse on the grounds that he was not at home. Wang Hao, who was just an eighth-rank official, just hit the gun.

As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, the servant said in a slightly apologetic tone and said politely: "It's a coincidence that the Chief Censor of the Censor was not at home at this time and rarely came back normally. If the Chief Censor of the Censorate had important official duties, he might as well go to the Censorate's Office for a trip."

After being turned away, Wang Hao felt that since Wang Gongchen stopped giving him a message, it would be fine if he asked the servant in front of him to pass on him. He made his way straight to the point and said, "Okay, this guy, please send me a message to the Chief Censor General. The side room in your backyard is about one zhang above the "biaomu" on the west side of the alley. After the on-site investigation by Brother Si of our street, it has been determined to be an illegal building.

"I have the oral orders of the official family and the official documents of Kaifeng Prefecture, requiring our street office to strictly investigate all illegal buildings that invade and occupy roads in the streets and alleys in Tokyo. Once discovered, they must be demolished immediately. Seeing that your Censor Zhongcheng is a minister in the court, I specially leave you one day to deal with it, and you cannot continue to delay.

If you don’t demolish the side room in the backyard by yourself before tomorrow, then you have to let our brothers in the street office take charge. I’m really embarrassed, our street office is doing official duties and cannot be favored. I hope the brother can convey what we have just said to the Chief Censor as soon as possible."

After hearing Wang Hao's words, the servants did not get angry, but responded with a slight face, "Okay, Si Cheng, what you said just now, I will convey it to the Chief Censor as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, please come back."

After saying that, the servant turned around and left, and with a "bang", closing the small door of the backyard from inside.

Judging from the behavior of the servant leaving and closing the door, Wang Hao immediately guessed that the servant was most likely angry. When the servant talked about this matter with Wang Gongchen, he might have brought private goods to add fuel to the fire.

In addition, Wang Hao felt that he worked hard and walked all the way from the street Siyamen near Liangmen to Hanlin Lane. If he didn't use it, wouldn't he have been working in vain before?

After secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Wang Hao, who had been hesitant before, finally made up his mind and immediately lifted the wooden lid on the small round wooden barrel, and saw half of the bucket of white paint inside.

Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who came up, had been fighting with Wang Hao and they left the street yamen with this small wooden barrel. They didn't know what was inside along the way, and they didn't know until now that they knew the true face of Mount Lu.

Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai were like monks who were confused about what the white paint contained in the small wooden barrel would be used for by Wang Hao. They were even more curious about it.
