On the Qinhuai River, lanterns are everywhere, and painting boats are parked in the river, shining under the illumination of various lanterns. The light shines on the sparkling surface of the river, reflecting a rainbow of light and reflecting the stars in the sky.

It's the third watch, and the ordinary people who have worked hard all day have entered, and the Qinhuai River is still singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo. The gentle singing faintly spread to the shore, causing the night walkers to look back again and again.

"Maybe the Jinyi Guard traitors will be hiding in those boats, let's go up and arrest them, shall we?" A soldier reluctantly turned his head back and proposed to the general leader who led the team.

"yes, yes, maybe they're hiding there." The other soldiers also responded, and for them, the romance on the painting boat was more important than the traitor caught.

I heard that the singers in the Qinhuai River are beautiful one by one, if in the past, these broken soldiers could only think about it, but now there is a God-given opportunity. If you can see it, or even hug those beautiful girls for a while, this life will be worth it!

The general expression of the leader of the team was very complicated, and he could see that he was very hesitant, and the fairy-like woman in the painting boat was equally attracted to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not cause trouble. The backgrounds of these painting boats are very large, and the people who play in the painting boats are either rich or noble, and they are all gentry and celebrities with meritorious reputations, and we people can't afford to provoke them. It's still important to arrest the traitor Lu Zonghan. ”

At the front of the team, the Shuntianfu messenger who led the team forcibly suppressed the contempt in his heart and persuaded each other with good words.

"We are the people of Dongping Hou, but we are ordered to catch traitors, why can't we go to the painting boat?" Hearing the famous gentry, the expressions of these soldiers changed, and the long-term understanding in my heart was that these scholars could not afford to provoke themselves, but they were a little unwilling in their hearts.

"Hehe, many people are afraid that Dongping Hou can't afford to provoke them, besides, there are a lot of Qinglou by the Qinhuai River, and when the traitor is caught and gets a reward, the brothers can go and have a good time, you don't necessarily have to go to the painting boat, you don't know, many of the singers on the painting boat are Qing people, and they don't sell their bodies, and we don't understand poetry and songs, what are we doing with that crime, it's better to go to the Qinglou to find a kiln sister who has a real knife and a real gun to do a good time. Brother, I am familiar here, if you brothers can afford to look up to me, I will find you a good green house, and ensure that they are all beautiful girls, no worse than the painting boat! ”

While despising this group of dirt buns, the errand said with a smile.

"Brother, what you said makes sense, it's still important to catch the traitor." The leader thought about it for a while, and said categorically, "Be honest with the fuck, delay the big thing of the Hou Ye, and I will peel your skin carefully!" ”

......

The most romantic place in Nanjing is the Qinhuai River, by the Qinhuai River, there are green buildings everywhere, I am afraid that there are dozens of places.

Among them, there is a Qingcui Building, which is the most ordinary green building, of course, the girls here can not be compared with the singers in the painting boat, the level of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and singing is much worse, but the girls are much more open than the singers in the painting boat, and they don't need too much silver, so that you can come and return satisfied.

Therefore, for most people who have a little money on their waists, it is more affordable than a painting boat. A few taels of silver can do a real fight, isn't it much better than spending hundreds of taels or thousands of taels and still not touching the girl's little hands?

Downstairs, several brocade-clothed captains in civilian clothes were drinking under the service of several maids, and suddenly a brocade-clothed guard saw a large group of soldiers coming from afar, and couldn't help but change his expression.

"You guys stand in the way here first, I'll go upstairs and inform the adults!" Pushing away the maid in his arms, he commanded a few of his companions, and ran upstairs.

The remaining brocade guards also discovered the abnormality, pulled out their knives and hid at the door of the building, and several maids were so frightened that they were about to scream when they immediately covered their mouths with their sharp blades.

In a room upstairs, Lu Zonghan was sitting opposite a man in pairs, for the sake of concealment, Lu Zonghan did not call his sister to wait.

"Liu Qianhu, let's settle this matter," Lu Zonghan said with a smile, "If the matter is completed, I am afraid that the title of Marquis of Anyuan will fall to your brother in the future." ”

"It's set! I am a courtier of His Majesty, and it is natural for me to serve His Majesty and eliminate rebellion, as long as the Pingnan army arrives in Nanjing, I will immediately open the city gate to welcome the army into the city! ”

Liu Jianzhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said angrily. He is a member of the Liu family of the Marquis of Anyuan, with the rank of a thousand households, but he can only be a general in the guard, and he is in charge of a hundred and ten soldiers, and his life is very miserable. If you can take this opportunity to make a contribution, maybe the title of Marquis of Anyuan will fall on your head, which is a great opportunity for you!

Lu Zonghan nodded with satisfaction, although this Liu Jianzhi did not have a high position, he was guarding the Qilin Gate in the outer city, and he was persuaded to easily open the city gate to welcome the army into the city.

"Haha, brother I'm in for a treat today, Brother Liu has a good time, I heard that the top brand of this Qingcui Building is really good. When Brother Liu becomes the Marquis of An Yuan, you have to invite my brother and me. ”

Lu Zonghan said with a smile, thinking of the bright prospects in the future, Liu Jianzhi also smiled heartily.

Just when the two of them had finished talking about the matter and were about to call their sister to have a good time, the door was knocked gently, and Lu Zonghan opened the door and saw his subordinates with nervous faces.

"Officers and soldiers coming? Seems to be coming for us? Lu Zonghan suddenly frowned.

"What's the matter, Brother Lu?" Liu Jianzhi hurriedly asked.

"Brother Liu, I'm afraid things are not good. Don't be in this room, go to the next room to take refuge, remember, when you encounter the interrogation of officers and soldiers, you say you don't know me, you just came to the Qinglou to have fun. Lu Zonghan hurriedly said while pushing the confused Liu Jianzhi to the next room. I sighed in my heart that I was fortunate to be clever and chartered two rooms in advance.

At this moment, there was already a shouting and fighting sound downstairs, and the few brocade guards left behind had already fought with the officers and soldiers.

"Qianhu, you quickly jump out of the window and escape, I'm here to block them!" The brocade guard who reported the news was very loyal, and pulled out the sharp blade on his waist and asked Lu Zonghan to leave quickly.

"Good brother!" Lu Zonghan patted him on the shoulder, pushed open the window of the room, and looked out, and saw the sparkling Qinhuai River below.

A series of screams mixed with the woman's screams came over, and then there were heavy footsteps, Lu Zonghan knew that the brothers downstairs were finished, and without hesitation, he jumped down from the window and fell into the water with a "poof".

In the weather of May, the river water was not very cold, floating on the surface of the river, looking at the Qinglou that had fallen into chaos overhead, Lu Zonghan did not hesitate anymore and swam towards the distance.
