Chapter 19 Demolition of Hanlin Lane
"Brother Hao, this can't be helped! How can you write this word 'demolition' on the outer wall of the backyard of the great official in the imperial history? Come and wipe it off with me! ”
Zhang Sanmu took out a black hand towel and wiped the big word "demolition" written by Wang Hao, and urged Wang Hao, who was standing in place smugly.
In Zhang Sanmu's opinion at this time, he had offended the ruling ruler above 10,000 people under one person before, and now, if he offended the big official in the imperial history, Wang Hao, who had just taken office and became the street secretary, was afraid that in a few days, not only would his official position not be guaranteed, but even his small life would be gone if he said no.
In the face of Zhang Sanmu's kindness, Wang Hao said disapprerovitically: "Brother Sanmu, you stop quickly, I have worked so hard to bring this small bucket of white paint from the yamen of our street department, specifically to write this big 'demolition' word." If you wipe it off, then I'm not writing it for nothing. ”
Saying this, Wang Hao hurriedly stepped forward, dragged Zhang Sanmu who was wiping aside, and said loudly in a commanding tone: "Zhang Sanmu, I now order you as the street secretary, stop quickly, don't wipe it." Otherwise, I will condemn you. ”
What Zhang Sanmu never expected was that he hurriedly wiped off the word "demolition", completely out of his good intentions, but he didn't expect that Wang Hao not only didn't appreciate it, but also put up a street Sicheng shelf in front of him, which couldn't help but make him feel that the dog bit Lu Dongbin - I don't know the good heart.
On the contrary, Sun Youcai looked extremely calm, standing on the sidelines, he put on a posture of standing by, because in his opinion, the bigger this matter is, the better, and it is best to be so big that the city is full of wind and rain.
Although Sun Youcai was dismissed from the post of street secretary because he was not doing well, he relied on Wang Hao, on the surface he was respectful to Wang Hao, but secretly held a grudge against Wang Hao, and was always looking for an opportunity to retaliate against him.
Today, Sun Youcai reported to Wang Hao that the backyard of Wang Gongchen's house, who served as the middle of the imperial history, invaded the street and occupied the road, just to make a contradiction between Wang Hao and Wang Gongchen, and then get rid of Wang Hao by Wang Gongchen's hand.
Now, Wang Hao wrote a big word "demolition" on the outer wall of the side house in Wang Gongchen's backyard using white paint, which was indeed beyond his expectations, and he naturally did not step forward to stop it, but was happy to see it, and even thought that it was far from enough.
No, Sun Youcai persuaded Zhang Sanmu, who still wanted to continue to wipe it, and said: "Brother Sanmu, Wang Sicheng's approach is very good in my personal opinion. Anyway, we have the official decree in our hands, as well as the official document of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Since the backyard of the big official in the imperial history was identified as an illegal building, it should have been demolished immediately, Wang Sicheng saw that the big official in the imperial history was the minister of the court, and let them demolish it by themselves within a day limit, which was already considered benevolent and righteous.
"Now, Wang Sicheng is writing the word 'demolition' on the exterior wall of the backyard side house that has been identified as an illegal building, and it will be demolished before tomorrow anyway, why not?
"In my opinion, not only should the word 'demolition' be written on the exterior wall of the backyard of the great official in the imperial history, but also the word 'demolition' should be written on the exterior wall of other people's illegal buildings in the future, so as to show the warning effect."
Originally, Sun Youcai said the above high-sounding words, just to dissuade Zhang Sanmu from wiping the word "demolition" again, but he never wanted to hear Wang Hao's ears, and felt that Sun Youcai's proposal was very good and should be popularized.
Just now, because Zhang Sanmu wiped it for a while, the word "demolition" on the outer wall of Wang Gongchen's backyard was not clear enough, so Wang Hao stirred it a few times with a wooden stick in the small bucket filled with white paint, and retraced it along the word "demolition".
Not only that, after Wang Hao finished tracing the word "demolition", he drew a circle and circled the word "demolition".
Next, Wang Hao, accompanied by Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, inspected the two Hanlin Alleys in the east and west, and found that except for Wang Gongchen, the family house in the middle of the imperial history, there was an invasion of the street and the road, and other families were even more excessive.
Wang Hao silently calculated in his heart that there were no less than 200 illegal buildings encroaching on the streets and occupying the roads in the east and west alleys, belonging to more than 100 households.
Among the owners of these more than 100 households, almost all of them were from Hanlin bachelors, needless to say, they were all high school scholars, and they were also officials stationed in Beijing, and they served in three provinces and six ministries.
Although Wang Hao is only a street secretary with only the rank of eight-rank official, he knocked on the doors of the houses with illegal buildings one by one, first verbally notified them, and then wrote a big word "demolition" on the outer wall of the illegal buildings, and then drew a circle.
It took about two hours of effort, Wang Hao, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai went around the two Hanlin Lanes in the east and west, and almost everywhere they went, they would leave a big "demolition" word written in white paint, which is the so-called: the goose has left a voice, and the person has left a name.
In Wang Hao's view at this time, the word "demolition" is regarded as the four words he wrote in his heart when he traveled to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty: to visit.
All of a sudden, the exterior walls of the two famous East and West Hanlin Alleys in Tokyo are filled with the word "demolition" on the exterior walls of almost every house, which has virtually become a "beautiful" landscape.
Wang Hao, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai had just left on their front feet, and the Hanlin scholars who had the word "demolition" written on the outer wall of the house gathered at the gate of the front yard of Wang Gongchen's mansion, wanting to denounce the arrogant and unreasonable behavior of the street division to Wang Gongchen, the middle of the imperial history.
"Master, master, it's not good! At the gate of the front yard, hundreds of officials at all levels in Beijing who live in Hanlin Lane gathered and asked to meet you. The little one has come to ask you, sir, if you want to open the door and let them in? Deacon Liu rushed from the front yard to the backyard in a hurry, and said something to Wang Gongchen, who was recuperating and tasting tea.
Wang Gongchen, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, listened to Deacon Liu's announcement, the look on his cheeks did not make any waves, and asked in a calm tone: "What are they all here for?" ”
Faced with his master's inquiry, Deacon Liu immediately complained loudly: "Master, it's not because of that Wang Sicheng of the Street Division, this afternoon, he took two officials from the Street Division.
"Not only did we ask for a one-day deadline to demolish the side house in our backyard before tomorrow, but we also used white paint to write a big 'demolition' on the outer wall of the side house in our backyard very arrogantly, which looks very eye-catching.
"That's not all, about two hours of effort, this kid actually went door-to-door in East and West Hanlin Lane to notify the existence of illegal buildings that encroached on the street and occupied the road, just like our family, and demolished it by himself before tomorrow, otherwise the people of their street division will start to demolish it.
"What's even more infuriating is that all the illegal buildings identified by their street department have a big word 'demolition' written on the outer wall, which is really too deceitful......
Without waiting for Deacon Liu to finish speaking, Wang Gongchen, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, was still as steady as Mount Tai, interrupted Deacon Liu, and commanded in a talking tone: "Okay, Deacon Liu, I know about this matter, you don't have to continue to talk about it."
"Then go out and tell them, and say that it is not convenient for me to see any guest this day. If they want to avenge their grievances, let them go home and write their deeds, and submit them to the Imperial Observatory by midnight tonight.
"Tomorrow morning, I will present the statements they wrote to the official family in person. I can't control this matter, so I can only leave it to the officials to decide. ”
