After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Zhen and his party walked a few zhang away from Xia Zhu's mansion, and there was a two-story rich restaurant about five zhang diagonally opposite Xia Zhu's mansion.

So, Zhao Zhen led people into the Fugui Restaurant, chose a private room facing the street, and happened to see the situation at the gate of Xia Zhu's mansion clearly through the window of the private room.

In the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, ordinary people still had two meals a day, eating morning food at the hour and eating at the evening when the Shen time.

As for the wealthy families, especially the ministers of the court and the nobles of the imperial palace, not only do they have three meals a day, that is, one meal at noon, but also four meals a day, and another supper in the evening.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, as the social and economic development became more prosperous than in the early Song Dynasty, many ordinary people also began to eat three meals a day, especially in Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, where more than one million people lived, and the restaurant business was very prosperous.

In this private room facing the street of the Fugui Restaurant, although a table of sumptuous meals was ordered, only Zhao Zhen and Zhao Huiruo, father and daughter, were sitting at the table, and Zhang Mao and the six Ouchi guards were standing on the sidelines and watching.

Faced with a table of sumptuous dishes, Zhao Zhen didn't have any appetite, and all his thoughts were now focused on the two stone lions in front of Xia Zhu's mansion that had not been removed.

After sitting for a long time, Zhao Zhen stood up, walked to the window of the private room, opened the window and looked diagonally opposite for a while, and asked Zhang Maoze, who was standing aside, "Maoze, what time is it?" How long is it until noon? ”

In the face of Zhao Zhen's inquiry, Zhang Maoze, who was standing aside and waiting, did not dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and replied: "Official, it is about six minutes past the hour, and there are almost two minutes of time before noon. ”

As soon as Zhang Mao finished answering, Zhao Zhen saw more than a dozen people wearing "green shirts and collars" coming from the direction of the south side of the street, which made him calm down a little.

If it was a moment later, Zhao Zhen didn't see the tolerances of the Street Division, Zhao Zhen had already secretly made a decision in his heart, that is, he took six Ouchi guards to personally remove the two stone lions in front of Xia Zhu's mansion.

After all, Zhao Zhen passed on an edict to Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion in the middle of the night last year to remove the two big stone lions at the door of Xia Zhu's mansion before noon today.

If the two stone lions in front of Xia Zhu's mansion are still as stable as Mount Tai after noon today, Zhao Zhen, as the king of a country, will have no face at that time.

Standing in front of the window for a long time, Zhao Zhen instructed Zhang Mao to hurry up and pay the bill, although the table did not move a few chopsticks, they left the Fugui Restaurant and went to the door of Xia Zhu's mansion to watch closely.

By the time Zhao Zhen and his entourage came to the door of Xia Zhu's mansion, there were already hundreds of pedestrians watching, because at this time, Wang Hao, with Zhang Sanmu and ten soldiers of the street division, was in a state of confrontation with Deacon Zheng of Xia Zhu's mansion and more than 20 family members.

"Deacon Zheng, since the beginning of this hour, up to now, I have informed you three times in a row that the two stone lions in front of the Ruling Mansion must be removed, and you just promised with your mouth, but you did not take any practical action. Don't you take our street division seriously? Wang Hao held back the anger in his heart and asked Deacon Zheng who was standing half a foot away in front of him.

When Wang Hao finished questioning, he felt that the last question he asked was a bit stupid, because if Deacon Zheng really took their street division in his eyes, when he told Deacon Zheng for the first time, Deacon Zheng would remove the two stone lions, and it would not be delayed from the hour to the noon, and the two stone lions would still stay in place.

In the face of Wang Hao's questioning, Deacon Zheng, who had his hands on his hips, first laughed a few times, and then replied in a disapproving tone: "Your Street Division, in our Tokyo City, is just a small Qingshui Yamen, and your Si Cheng is just an eight-rank official, how can you be compared with our Ruling Mansion, you are obviously humiliating yourself." ”

At this point, Zheng Zhi paused in advance, then put his hands behind his back, straightened his bulging belly, and continued to speak in an arrogant tone: "Although I am a deacon in the Xia Deacon's mansion, I am in charge of hundreds of family members.

"Moreover, the officials at all levels in Beijing who came to ask to see our Xia Deacon have to give three points of courtesy when they see this deacon, and you are a small street division, naturally you can't get into the eyes of this deacon."

What Zhao Zhen never expected was that Xia Zhu, who was respectful in front of him on weekdays, would raise such an arrogant and arrogant deacon in his own mansion, which made him feel extremely angry.

Next, the conversation between Wang Hao and Deacon Zheng made Zhao Zhen even more angry.

Wang Hao took out the official document of Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion again, and asked Deacon Zheng who was standing in front of him loudly again: "Deacon Zheng, since our small street division can't enter your eyes, the official document of Yin Baogong of Kaifeng Mansion that I hold in my hand should be able to enter your eyes, right?"

"Also, I must emphasize to you that the official document on this is clearly written, and the prefect of Bao has ordered the official to order our street division to remove the two stone lions in front of your ruling mansion before noon today. Even if the official document of the prefect of Bao can't get into your eyes, do you dare to disobey even the official's dictation? ”

When Wang Hao finished questioning again, Deacon Zheng couldn't help laughing a few times, and then said wildly: "You are a little errand of the Street Division, thinking that with the official document of Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, you dare to touch the stone lion in front of our Ruling Mansion, it is simply ridiculous.

"Your current behavior is clearly holding chicken feathers as an arrow. Not to mention the official document of Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, let alone the official family's dictation, even if it is the official family's holy decree, even if the official family comes in person to move the stone lion in front of our ruling mansion, I Zheng will never agree. ”

In this compartment, after Deacon Zheng finished his arrogant words, in the other compartment, Zhao Zhen, who was standing in front of him and watching, really didn't vomit blood.

Zhao Zhen, who was unbearable, immediately ordered Zhang Maoze, who was close to him, to take the token with "Ru I am coming" written on it, and quickly went to Kaifeng Mansion and called Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion over for questioning.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, more than a dozen people from the Street Division were still confronting each other with more than 20 families in Xia Zhizai's mansion, which made Zhao Zhen like ants on a hot pot.

Just as he was stuck, a handsome young man suddenly rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly in a posture of justice. "The servants in Xia Zhizai's mansion, in broad daylight, are so arrogant and domineering, not only brutally treating the street officials who perform official duties, but also slandering and humiliating Yin Baogong of Kaifeng Mansion, and even ignoring Zhao Guan's family, which is really unreasonable.

"I have practiced fist and foot kung fu for a few years, walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and will help when I encounter injustices. Today, I'm going to do it for heaven and see what kind of people are in the Ruling Mansion. I am willing to work for the messengers of the street division to remove the two stone lions that invaded the street and occupied the road. ”
