Since the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that the Street Division should promptly and truthfully report the situation of violating the regulations and not conceal anything, otherwise, the Si Cheng of the Street Division and the soldiers in charge of patrolling the streets will be severely punished.

No, Wang Hao sent the small book he recorded at noon this day to the hands of Si Chengsun Youcai, who worked in the Yamen of the Street Division.

Regarding the small book presented by Wang Hao, Sun Youcai did not look at it in person, but waited until Wang Hao left his office room, and then he opened it and flipped through it to see what was recorded in it.

To Sun Youcai's surprise, there was only the first half of the content on this small book, and the back paper was all blank.

Not only that, the text content recorded by Wang Hao on the first page of the small book actually reflects that in front of the gate of the mansion of the prime minister Xia Zhu, the two large stone lions on the left and right sides exceeded the boundary of "surface wood", about half a zhang, which is definitely an act of encroaching on the street and occupying the road.

You must know that Xia Zhu is the prime minister of the court, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, in the eyes of these small officials and ordinary people, it is above 10,000 people under one person, and they cannot afford to offend.

Although according to the relevant provisions of the "Song Criminal Union": "Those who invade the streets and alleys will have seventy rods." He has pierced through the walls to bring out filth in the streets and alleys, and has sixty rods. Those who go straight out of the water are not guilty. The presiding officer could not help but be guilty of the same crime. ”

However, at the specific implementation level, when encountering some dignitaries and nobles, the mansion has invaded the street and occupied the road, and Sun Youcai, who served as the secretary of the street, naturally could not afford to offend, he not only turned a blind eye to himself, but also shelved the situation truthfully reported by his subordinates, and did not truthfully report to the water supervisor of the superiors, and nothing happened when anything happened.

At this time, what Sun Youcai never expected was that Wang Hao, who was inspecting the street and occupying the road, actually found the head of Xia Zhu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, which was clearly looking for death, in his opinion, Wang Hao's approach was simply stupid.

Originally, Sun Youcai planned to burn the small book presented by Wang Hao and turn it into ashes, so that no one else would know about it.

However, after he thought about it, according to the relevant provisions of the "Song Criminal Union", if he concealed it and did not report it, if the matter happened in the east window in the future, his official position as Si Cheng would not only not be able to be kept, but I am afraid that he would be imprisoned and even lose his life.

After secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Sun Youcai, who was hesitant, finally made the decision to truthfully submit it to the capital water supervisor.

In Sun Youcai's opinion at this time, anyway, the content recorded in this small book was written by Wang Hao alone, and he just reported it truthfully out of his duty.

Even if Xia Zhu learned about this and wanted to find someone to find personal anger, he couldn't find his grandson Youcai's head, and Wang Hao was the first to bear the brunt.

Thinking of this, Sun Youcai didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to send the small book sent by Wang Hao to the superior yamen of the Street Division-Dushui Supervisor.

Perhaps the review officials of the Metropolitan Water Supervisor also think that this matter has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Water Supervisor, anyway, it was submitted by the Street Division, even if Xia Zhu wants to find trouble afterwards, it is also the trouble of the Street Division.

In this way, from the Street Division to the Capital Water Superintendent, then to the Ministry of Industry, and then to Shangshu Province, and finally, in the evening of the same day, probably in the situation of Youshi, Wang Hao's small book was placed on the imperial case of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.

At about the third quarter of the Shen time, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen used the evening eclipse, first in the Houhuayuan outside the Funing Palace, and walked with Queen Cao for a while, and then returned to the Funing Palace, and continued to look at the music presented on the imperial case.

At first, Song Renzong shook his head and sighed at the content of the recitals presented by officials from prefectures and counties across the country, but did not say a word.

The main reason is that Zhao Zhen saw that the content of these concerts was almost the same, either saying that the local country and the people were safe, or that the wind and rain were smooth, or that the grain was harvesting, anyway, almost all of them were the same good news and not bad news.

In fact, Zhao Zhen knows very well in his heart that since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, he has been at war with the Khitan people on the northeast border and the Dangxiang tribe on the northwest border for many years.

After about half an hour, Zhao Zhen immediately caught his attention when he flipped through the cover and saw that there was a piece of music presented by the street division written on the cover.

When Zhao Zhen opened this small book, he was immediately attracted by the content written in it, and after reading the content, he sometimes frowned, sometimes shook his head and sighed, and sometimes fell into contemplation.

Soon, two moments of hard work passed, and suddenly at this time, Zhao Zhen slapped the case with a "bang", summoned his cronies and eunuch Zhang Maoze, and called ten internal guards with strong martial arts, all of whom changed into ordinary people's civilian clothes, and went out of the palace at night for a private visit.

Zhao Zhen and Zhang Mao are a group of 12 people, out of the right door of the palace, not far away is the temple, go straight south through Junyi Bridge Street, is the east gate of the Xishangshu Provincial Government, and go south along the Hengjie in front of the Xishangshu Province, which is the Yushitai Yamen.

To the west of the Imperial Observatory is a suburban society, and at the south gate of Shangshu Province is facing the back wall of Kaifeng Mansion, and then you will see several well-known shops in Tokyo, including a sake restaurant called "Xicheziqu", a restaurant called "Shijia Soup", and a noodle shop called "Wanjia Steamed Bun", and a Wuqi Temple further on.

Out of the alley is the Imperial Palace Ouchi West Corner Tower Street, along the road street to the west, is the back door of the South Taiping Xingguo Temple, the north facing is the Qishengyuan Street.

Further ahead is the West Hall Maeji, opposite is some shops along the street, they are: Qingfeng Building, Wubi Inn, Zhang Daihua Facial Cleanser, Guotai Cheng Zhang Lao'er Golden Turtle, Ugly Mother-in-law Pharmacy, Tang Hotel, in the west to the Liangmen of the inner city of Tokyo.

The proper name of the beam gate is called "阖阊", and some people call it "阖阊men".

They went out of the beam gate and continued westward. On the north side of Liangmen Street, there is a Longguan. There are Taoist priests selling dental medicine in the east corridor of the temple, and even at night, there are many people who come to watch.

It can be seen that since the curfew in Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was lifted, there were still many people doing business at night, whether it was shops or vendors along the street, they were all open with their lights on, and there were no longer a few pedestrians passing by on the street.

After the Longguan went on, the urn market. This is the residence of Kaifeng Mansion, and the distance between it and the Street Division is only two miles.

In the bustling crowd, Zhao Zhen and Zhang Mao turned from Liangmen Street to Zibei Street in Wengshi. Less than five zhang away, I saw a number of Banlou hotels.

After going forward for several miles, on the east side of Zibei Street in Wengshi, a mansion with a plaque of "summer house" came into view, which was the residence of Xia Zhu, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Because at this time, Xia Zhu was leading Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and other famous ministers and generals, as well as hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to fight against Western Xia on the northwest border, although Song Renzong made Xia Zhu the post of prime minister, but did not leave him in Tokyo, and Zhao Zhen was inconvenient to visit the house at night.

Zhang Mao, who followed Zhao Zhen, was obviously wrong, he saw Zhao Zhen stop in front of the gate of Xia Zhu's mansion and watched for a long time without leaving, so he stepped forward and whispered in a tentative tone: "Official, Xia Zhizai is currently using troops in the northwest to deal with the rebellious Western Xia, today the official family suddenly visited Xia Zhizai's mansion at night, could it be that the official family has missed Xia Zhizai, and he might as well urgently order Xia Zhizai to return to Beijing." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen, who had not said a word before, first shook his head, and then sighed: "Alas, Mao Ze, it's better not to speculate on my thoughts." I didn't come here tonight because I missed Xia Zhizai, but because I had something else to do, and I wanted to investigate on the spot, and sure enough, all the content played by Wang Hao, a soldier of the street division, was true. ”
