In the inner city of Taipingfang, there is a small homestead, there is no sign and nothing to mark the owner of the house. But insiders know that this is the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard Nanjing Thousand Households, which is responsible for monitoring the civil and military affairs of the southern capital and arresting the rebellious.

However, during the Chongzhen period, under the suppression of Emperor Chongzhen and the civil officials of the Donglin Party, the prestige of the factory guards has long been gone, and the frightening situation of riding out in the past no longer exists. Although there is still a Jinyiwei yamen in Nanjing, in Nanjing, the base camp of the Donglin Party, Jinyiwei has no prestige at all, and its sense of existence is extremely low.

In the yamen, the captains of the brocade-clothed guards on duty were all weak, and even Lu Zonghan, a thousand households, sighed and sighed with a sad face.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, which is beyond reproach. But today's Nanjing City is the head of King Fu, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, how will he deal with Jinyi Wei Nanjing Thousand Households, which makes Lu Zonghan restless every day.

Jinyi Wei is no longer welcomed, but it is by no means dispensable, without the support of the factory guards, I am afraid that any emperor will not be able to sleep well. Therefore, after King Fu ascends the throne and sits firmly in the imperial court, he will inevitably establish his own Jinyi Guard organization, and at that time, he, the leader of the Jinyi Guard of the previous dynasty, may be dismissed.

Unlike other yamen officials who have lost their official positions, Jinyiwei has offended too many people, and if he really loses power, I am afraid that he will not even know how to die.

Although he has Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong as a backer behind him, but his wife is just a side branch daughter of Xincheng Bofu, how much Zhao Zhilong can help himself is unknown, it is conceivable that his position as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu will definitely not be able to keep, I only hope to be able to keep my name and transfer to other places.

Lu Zonghan sighed, he didn't think about other ways, and he also thought about giving gifts to the newly powerful Ma Shiying and Liu Zeqing, but he just thought about it, Jinyiwei was too important to the emperor, and Ma Shiying and Liu Zeqing categorically would not let this position fall into the hands of outsiders.

Sitting in the yamen for a while, sighing and sighing for a while, Lu Zonghan left the yamen, stood on the street and pondered for a while, instead of choosing to go back to his home in the inner city, he walked straight south to the outer city.

In order to get a good errand for the nobles, he had to marry a woman from the side branch of the Zhao family, and he joined the Nanjing garrison Zhao Zhilong, which was the only way to get the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu. However, his wife Zhao has a mediocre appearance and a fierce personality, relying on her family background to completely look like a shrew, so that Lu Zonghan doesn't want to go back to that home at all.

Which man is not lustful and achieves an official position like Lu Zonghan, who is not a third wife and four concubines? But the Zhao family did not allow Lu Zonghan to take a concubine, even if she only gave birth to two daughters, she couldn't even give birth to a son.

Unfilial piety is great, Lu Zonghan naturally couldn't let the Lu family die, so he secretly accepted a Qinhuai River painting boat woman named Xiao Fengxian and bought a house in the outer city to raise there.

Just last year, Xiao Fengxian successfully gave birth to a son for Lu Zonghan, which made Lu Zonghan overjoyed, and he had to go to the house to visit his son almost every day.

originally wanted to find an opportunity to have a showdown with the Zhao family and bring Xiao Fengxian and her son into the house. But now that he is about to lose power, in order to avoid his son being affected, this thought has disappeared.

Touching the gold leaf hidden in his arms, Lu Zonghan had a smile on his face, with a large amount of wealth left by himself, even if he loses power in the future, his son should be able to live well.

He didn't ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair, so he walked quietly to the outer city, only four attendants quietly followed behind him to guard.

Although he is about to lose power, which city rat ruffian dares to provoke Lu Zonghan's identity?

Walking along the street unhurriedly to the outer city, looking at the prosperity around him, he couldn't help but sigh, how long can he watch this romance in Nanjing?

Lu Zonghan's outer house is located in an alley near the Qinhuai River, and there is only one house in the entire alley.

A few secretly protected people stopped outside the alley, and each found a tea shop and a wine shop to rest. There is a special person in charge of protecting the outer house here, and the safety of adults does not need to be bothered by them.

Gently buckled the door knocker, and after a while, familiar footsteps sounded, and the old servant Uncle Fu came over and opened the door in a panic.

"What's wrong? Is Xiang'er sick again? Looking at Uncle Fu's pale face, Lu Zonghan's heart was sudden, maybe it was a product of drunkenness, his son Lu Xiang was frail and sickly, and his body often had problems.

Without waiting for Uncle Fu to answer, Lu Zonghan walked quickly towards the house.

"Master, young master, he ......." Uncle Fu said to his mouth, as if he remembered something, and then stopped.

Full of worries, Lu Zonghan didn't think much about it, just walked quickly towards the courtyard.

Just after the wall, he stopped all of a sudden, and the vigilance of the old brocade guard recovered, quiet, it was too quiet! There are fifteen or sixteen maids and servants in the whole courtyard, and it is a lively scene on weekdays, but now it is silent, only the footsteps of himself and Uncle Fu behind him.

Lu Zonghan stood quietly, and his hand slowly touched the handle of the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

However, before he could pull out the knife, several crossbowmen suddenly flashed in the courtyard, and looking at the sharpness of the crossbow arrow pointing at him, Lu Zonghan slowly let go of the hand holding the hilt.

Although he was skilled, he was not sure of escaping from under a few crossbows. More importantly, he can't escape, because his only son must have fallen into the hands of the other party.

"May I ask you which way the heroes are on, whether they are seeking wealth or ......?"

Lu Zonghan raised his hands and asked calmly, but in his heart he was secretly thinking about which immortal he had offended.

Although Jinyi Wei lost power, there were not many people who dared to hit the door of Jinyi's thousand households. Could it be that King Fu wants to do it to himself, and he wants to clean the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households?

But that's not right, King Fu will naturally send an army to attack him, not a shady method of kidnapping and assassination like today.

No one spoke, two men dressed in ordinary people's clothes walked up to Lu Zonghan, gently took off the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and then tied him up with ropes, as for the old Uncle Fu, he didn't pay attention.

was escorted into the house, and Lu Zonghan saw the son of the disgraced concubine who had been tightly held in her arms. All the maids and servants in the house also gathered in the hall, and seven or eight men with sharp blades stood quietly around them, watching them.

Fortunately, the concubine and son were not abused, and Lu Zonghan's heart relaxed slightly.

The concubine was looking at herself pitifully, but she didn't dare to make a sound, Lu Zonghan nodded at her slightly, signaling not to panic, and then looked at the thief in the hall.

Seven or eight thieves stood silently in the hall, Lu Zonghan looked at it for a moment, and set his eyes on a young thief in his twenties, who should be the leader of the thieves.
