Nanjing is the place where Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty built the capital, located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is the Yangtze River water conservancy, the Xiongcheng Dayi, which is particularly different, it is said that it is the inner city gate thirteen, the outer city gate eighteen, through the city forty miles, along the city a turn is more than one hundred and twenty miles.

There are dozens of streets and hundreds of alleys in the city, all of which are crowded with people and gold dust. There is a river in the city, from the East Water Pass to the West Water Pass, there are ten miles, it is the Qinhuai River, painting boats and drums, day and night.

Walking in the city, there are corridors on both sides of the avenue, sheltering from the wind and rain under the corridor, the vendors set up stalls here to sell, pedestrians walk in it, they can also avoid the scorching sun exposure, so the name of the street in the city of Nanjing, there are many "corridor" words.

Every night, the merchants and households hang the horn lantern high, the people walk, do not need torches and lanterns, wander around the past, dizzying, there are brocade woven by the Moling in the north of the city, the fine velvet of Xiaolingwei, the porcelain from Jiangxi, the satin lacquerware from the south of the Yangtze River, all kinds of treasures from abroad, and the special products from all over the world, all of which are gathered in it.

The autumn wind is new, the weather is slightly cold, according to the custom of this Nanjing city, there is another arrangement on the Qinhuai River, the people of the whole city have called the boat, invited the great monk to hang the Buddha statue on the boat, lay the altar, start from the west water, give food all the way to the incense river, within ten miles, descend the real incense and burn it like smoke. The sound of drums and cymbals is endless. At night, the extremely delicate lotus lanterns are lit and float on the water, looking at the world or the Buddha country.

There are Nanjing residents who want to worship their ancestors and worship God, all set up two tables at the door, two all-night wind candles, an incense stick, from Dazhong Bridge to Qingliang Mountain, a street has seven or eight miles of road, lit like a silver dragon, the night is bright, the cigarette smoke is endless, and the wind can not be extinguished. The ladies and ladies of Allure all came out to burn incense and watch the meeting.

This season is also the time when the price of the courtyard of the restaurant along the river is the highest and the business is the best, and the sixteenth floor of the guest, retranslation, Qingjiang, Shicheng, Heming, Zuixian, Lemin, Jixian, Acura, drum belly, light smoke, light powder, Meiyan, Liucui, Nanshi, and Beishi is full everywhere.

In a restaurant, it is also necessary to divide the three, six, nine and so on, this floor is the cheapest, the second floor is the most expensive riverside seat, the elegant person wants to watch the scenery through the window, the prodigal son wants to watch the traveling lady there, and see the beauty under the lamp at night, which is particularly interesting.

Although it is a great defense of etiquette, men and women do not kiss, but at this time, the exclusive first-class women, dressed up, pretending to be painting fat to view the scenery of the upper river, in fact, it is to scratch the head and make a posture, showing off the style, this is also a scene, since the appearance of this, there are people with a head and face do not let the female dependents swim the river, can only let the Xuanwu Lake boating, but those big daughters, noble women, are arranged for their own tailors and the like to look here, if sometimes new clothing styles, take back to imitate, this is another interesting story.

If the distinguished guests in the private room of the restaurant fancy the woman on the river, even if they send someone to the store to ask, if they don't have a stick of incense, the store can inquire about everything, and the rest of the guests are at their own convenience.

Now this window is also quite a bit of crazy bees and butterflies, the noble son, obviously he called a courtesan to come over to sing and persuade wine, but he still has to stare outside to see if there is anything he likes.

This kind of atmosphere is especially true in the North City Building, the so-called "dangerous building is 100 feet high, and the eyes are full of red makeup." Happy to drink the three lords, happy to accept the eight wilderness. The sound of the city is spring, and the trees are bright and blue. Drink companions are more send-off, return to Xuan Jinxiuxiang", come to this Beishi Building, if you don't have a woman around you to serve, it is shabby and not on the table.

Eight private rooms on the third floor, everywhere there is a light blowing and singing, vaguely pinned to each other, only the one facing the river is very quiet, if it is usual, these people in Nanjing City who step on the low and high, and fight for the wind and fight for the wind and the sons and brothers have long passed to ridicule and provoke, but there is no one to do much today, that is because the shopkeeper has already gone to say hello, telling them that the identity of the guests in the private room is extraordinary, and they can't afford to offend.

There are a lot of bigwigs in Nanjing, although the six departments of Nanjing are idle, but the Nanjing military department is still the real power, and generally to the capital is also the position of the squire Lang Shangshu, and the eunuch of Nanjing town is the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor can be appointed, as for the Nanjing garrison, it is often held by the noble and military ministers, and generally cannot run to other families, and the Xu family of the Duke of Wei is almost hereditary.

In addition to these bigwigs, there are also a lot of bigwigs in all aspects, and they can't afford to offend them, who knows that a common person on the interface of the road and the bigwig are relatives?

Being an official in this Nanjing City, especially Ying Tianfu's side, is really a hard job, there are not many benefits and risks, and the Terracotta Division is similar, and everyone is tied up, but there are also yamen that can be opened, except for those big guys who should be careful, they don't have to care about the others, and even those big guys will be polite to them.

To have this style is the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Wei Zhengtang Yamen is in the Beijing Division, and the northern and southern provinces are generally just a thousand or hundreds of households, but Nanjing is one of the two capitals, and it is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there is another consideration, on the ground in Nanjing, there are too many bigwigs and nobles, and each of them is a great character, a brocade guard thousand households may be rampant elsewhere, and they may not be taken seriously in Nanjing, so they must arrange a high-grade one here.

Ma Chonghao, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, is a person from Beijing, born in Jinyiwei for generations, and the highest ancestor has only reached the deputy thousand households, but Ma Chonghao's generation has hooked up with Zheng Guifei's younger brother and trembled suddenly.

When Zheng Guifei was the most prosperous, this Ma Chonghao even pondered the location of the Jinyi Weidu Hall, but year after year, the position of the prince was set, King Fu was in Luoyang, and the body of Emperor Wanli was not as good as a year, and he never appeared in the court, everyone in the officialdom was a master of observing words and judging the situation, and the Zheng family's market was naturally not as good as before, and Ma Chonghao was not as good as before.

Fortunately, the Zheng family is quite kind, since there is no hope of promotion, then let the people under him get some benefits, places like Nanjing, do nothing in office, and there is a rich regular income in a year, Ma Chonghao has done a lot for the Zheng family, so he was arranged to come here.

Nanjing has a lot of oil and water, but it is not as good as the Jingshi side, it is considered an idle position in the high-level of Jinyiwei, and no one stopped Ma Chonghao when he came over.

Jinyiwei is rampant in the world, many people's demeanor is no different from that of rich businessmen, full of oil, rich and rich, ruthless is not good, the so-called eagle dog posture, and only those foreign helpers have the service and files, not to mention the level of Jinyiwei commanding affairs and commanding Tongzhi.

There are more than 100 noble military ministers in the world who are in charge of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the same knowledge, and the command of the title of the minister, which is the honorary title and a good benefit, but whether it is a real job or a false title, most of them are full of belly fat, and then they are polite and courteous, noble and abnormal, like a wealthy giant, like Qingliu Hanlin, but not like the Son of Heaven to guard the military ministers.

Ma Chonghao is the most special one, he is in his early forties, but he has no belly, his slightly chubby figure is not bloated, but he can feel the amount of strength, his facial features are very flat, his eyes are slender, and his left foot is slightly lame.

Beishilou is the first-class wine banquet in Nanjing, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas can be purchased, and several dishes are even more famous in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is only a plate of broad beans and a pot of rice wine in front of Ma Chonghao.

The window near the river is wide open, with a little chill of the autumn wind poured in, Ma Chonghao did not realize at all, wearing a single coat, the embroidered spring knife made of stainless steel rested on the table, the warbler on the river outside the window, the sound of silk and bamboo, but he did not pay attention at all, just from time to time to throw a broad bean in his mouth, occasionally take a sip of wine, although the famous wine of Hanjing is enjoyable, but the rice wine is drunk but not misunderstood.

Ma Chonghao likes to stay here, not because of the sound of the wind and moon here, but because you can hear a lot of things here, the walls of the private room where Ma Chonghao is located have been treated, and the sounds of conversation on both sides can be heard clearly.

The shopkeeper and the guy have already been warned, they can't reveal their identities, they only tell the people here, don't bother, and the rest can't be said, the boxes on both sides are young and vigorous or not very cautious wealthy people, chatting, I don't know how much news has fallen into Ma Chonghao's ears.

At the beginning, a few Jinyi Wei Baihu who knew the details of this matter still wanted to see the excitement, thinking that on the ground of Nanjing City, how could it be so easy to blackmail and coerce people with personal interests, and they would be crushed if they were not careful, but after a long time, they realized that they were listening, and they liked to listen to these things, but they didn't do anything with this.

But there are some things that also make the fans of Nanjing Jinyiwei wonder, this Master Ma is not familiar with his life, and he was a reckless man who only knew how to dance knives and guns, how could he be so good at making a fortune, he saw that the rich businessmen and wealthy families who asked would not be involved in a little trouble, and they were just obediently paid to atone for their sins, and everyone was easy to get rich, of course, most of the money belonged to this Lord Ma.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, someone outside the curtain of the private room whispered, and with Ma Chonghao's permission, he walked in with a broken bow.

Ma Chonghao picked up a broad bean, turned his head to look at it, shook his head and said: "If you meet a sharp-eyed one, your official boots are flawed, and since you have an armor robe on the outside, can't this waist card be stuffed in your pocket?" A bulging piece in the waist, when people can't guess it? ”

Ma Chonghao pointed out a few flaws, approached the middle-aged fat man in the private room and nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Let Du Tang see the smile, the humble post came in a hurry this time, and he didn't care about cleaning it up carefully." ”

Ma Chonghao threw the broad beans into his mouth, and the fat man behind him said with a smile: "The salaries for next month have been prepared in various parts of Nanjing, and several brothers on an errand have come over to ask Dutang, how to arrange Dutang's share, should it be exchanged for gold ingots or sent to the business cabinet?" ”
