    After arriving in Suzhou, Yang Lianting did not go straight to Tang Bohu's hometown, but first went to the Zhou family, one of the local richest people in Suzhou.  Suzhou is world-famous for its wealth. There are countless large and small chambers of commerce, and the extremely wealthy merchants are like crucian carp crossing the river.  The Zhou Chamber of Commerce was just a small business family more than ten years ago. It was suppressed and excluded by business opponents, framed and framed, and the family was almost destroyed.  Yang Lianting, who had just founded the Huashan Chamber of Commerce at that time, helped the Zhou family by chance. The Zhou family was grateful and attached themselves to the Huashan Chamber of Commerce from then on.  Later, because the Huashan Chamber of Commerce developed rapidly and attracted too much jealousy, Yang Lianting asked some people to set up separate businesses, use different names of chambers of commerce, and operate different businesses.  First, there was the Huashan Chamber of Commerce, and then there was the Qin State and the forces lurking in the court to support it. After more than ten years of development, the Zhou family was able to become one of the richest people in the south of the Yangtze River.  At this time, Yang Lianting came to a villa located on an east-west street in the middle of the city.  This is a garden dominated by rockeries. The landscape is dominated by mountains, supplemented by pools and water, and there are not many buildings.  Although the garden is small, it is very impressive.  The villa was originally the site of Jingu Garden in the Tang Dynasty and the music garden of the writer Zhu Changwen in the Song Dynasty. However, it has been bought by the Zhou family and spent a huge amount of money to renovate it.  Seeing that the door was open, Yang Lianting immediately stepped forward.  At this time, the two servants who were guarding the door also noticed Yang Lianting. They frowned when they saw that he was wearing a very shabby blue shirt and robe.  But seeing that he was old and white-browed, he bowed politely and asked him what he was doing.  Yang Lianting asked: "Is your master here?" The man on the left replied: "I don't know if the old man is asking about the eldest master. Or the second master?" Yang Lianting frowned and said, "When did the Zhou family have a second master?  "The servant glanced at Yang Lianting.  He snorted angrily and said, "Old man, are you looking for the wrong person?" Yang Lianting was stunned and asked, "Isn't this the Zhou family?" The servant on the right interrupted: "This is the Zhou family! But maybe it's not.  You are looking for the Zhou family." Seeing that Yang Lianting was very shabby, he thought that he was either a poor relative of the Zhou family who could not be beaten, or he might be a liar.  Yang Lianting frowned and said, "Oh? Is your master Zhou Yong?" Hearing this, the two servants were startled, and one of them said, "My old man passed away two years ago." Yang Lianting suddenly said: "Ohthat's it.  "I don't know about this." He paused and said, "The two masters in your family are Zhou Kang and Zhou Tai, right?" The Zhou family has a secret channel to communicate with the Qin State.  Yang Lianting has been in a coma for nearly seven years. These matters are beyond his control, and there is no need for him to take care of them now.  So Yang Lianting came here alone, with no one around to ask, but he didn't know how to contact the Zhou family.  You can only visit in person.     after all.  Except for a few people, the people in the Zhou Chamber of Commerce didn't even know who they were working for.  "Old man, are you looking for my two masters? I haven't asked the old man about their surnames yet, so I'd better go and report to the two masters." The two of them did not easily think that Yang Lianting was related to the two masters just because Yang Lianting mentioned the names of the two masters in the family.  What relationship does the Zhou family really have? After all, the Zhou family is famous in Suzhou. I wanted to find out the name of the owner of the Zhou family just by asking around on the way.  But he didn't dare to offend Yang Lianting rashly.  "My surname is Yang," Yang Lianting said.  He took out a black iron token, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Send it to your master, and they will know about it." Hearing this, the two of them were stunned.  After looking at each other, the man on the left respectfully stretched out his hands to take the token.  Yang Lianting was respectfully invited into the manor to sit down and serve tea, and then the man went to inform the Zhou brothers.  Not long after, two tall middle-aged men in their early thirties, wearing brown cocoon silk robes, tall and roughly similar in appearance, came to greet Yang Lianting in person.  These two people are the two brothers Zhou Kang and Zhou Tai.  The two screened away the servants, bowed their hands to Yang Lianting, and asked, "What do you call me?" Yang Lianting said, "Brother Zhou, if you think about it, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years. Unfortunately,  Your Majesty, your Majesty is alive!" Hearing this, the Zhou brothers couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Who are you?" Yang Lianting took off his disguise and said, "It's me!" Once they saw Yang Lianting's true appearance, the Zhou brothers immediately  They were startled, and then they all saluted and said: "Join the emperor!" Yang Lianting said: "No need to be polite!" Zhou Tai said: "Zhou Tai just learned about the emperor's appearance in Hangzhou not long ago. My eldest brother and I are worried about the emperor's safety.  Discussing countermeasures, I didn't expect the emperor.With all the knowledge in the world, the Ming army is regarded as nothing, but my brothers are worried in vain.  Yang Lianting smiled slightly and said, "I am here for Tang Yin's wife and children. Where are they now?"  " Zhou Kang forcibly interrupted: "Back to the emperor, after Zhou Kang received the emperor's order, he sent his confidants to Peach Blossom Temple to inform Tang Yin's wife, and took her away secretly yesterday.  After a pause, he added, "If he hadn't gone quickly, Tang Yin's wife and children would have been almost captured by the officers and soldiers."  " Yang Lianting said: "Sure enough!  Zhu Chenhao is cruel and ruthless. Since he knows that Tang Yin was picked up by me, he must hold a grudge and want to attack Tang Yin's family.  After a pause, he asked, "Where are Tang Yin's family now?"  " Zhou Kang replied: "Last night, the officers and soldiers blocked the city gate and searched for them. The emperor must have seen the wanted order when he entered the city.  Therefore, Tang Yin's wife and children are still here.  I hid her mother and daughter in the village.  The plan was to bribe the officers and soldiers guarding the city today, and secretly send the two of them out of the city under the guise of shipping goods from the Chamber of Commerce.  " Yang Lianting said: "Oh?  Are their mother and daughter here?  " Zhou Kang said: "Yes!  After a pause, he continued: "This village has been renovated since I bought it from the Zhou family. It was covered with rockery and trees. A secret place was built in Zhuangzi secretly. Access needs to be through underground secret passages."  Only my two brothers know this secret passage, so it is absolutely safe.  Because she was the person the emperor ordered to protect, in order to ensure the safety of her mother and daughter, we hid her in the back mountain.  After a pause, he asked again: "The emperor wants to meet her mother and daughter?"  " Yang Lianting said: "Since we are here, let's meet him.  Walk.  lead the way.  " Hearing this, the Zhou brothers all said in unison: "Yes!  Emperor, please come with us!  Yang Lianting nodded and walked out of the hall. Suddenly, he paused, frowned, and glanced at the Zhou brothers in confusion. Yang Lianting followed the Zhou brothers through several corridors and courtyards. Finally he came to  In a study room, the Zhou brothers walked to the corner and worked together to open a bookshelf, then lifted up a floor tile on the ground, revealing two keyholes and two copper rings. Then they saw each of them taking out a bookshelf.  The key was inserted into the hole.  !  " Then, the two of them pulled the copper rings on the left and right, revealing the underground passage. Zhou Kang said: "Second brother.  Give me the key and you can guard it outside the house.  " Zhou Tai responded: "Yes!  "After that, he walked towards the door. Zhou Kang said to Yang Lianting: "Emperor, please come with me.  "After saying that, he walked down first. Yang Lianting followed Zhou Kang into the secret passage unhurriedly. The secret passage was very long, with several spacious stone chambers filled with boxes of gold and silver treasures. Even,  Yang Lianting also smelled the smell of gunpowder. In addition to swords and crossbows, there were obviously some gunpowder guns hidden in the underground chamber.  Instead, he would break into a trap. At this time, Yang Lianting followed Zhou Tai into a narrow and low corridor, and when he was halfway there, he saw Zhou Kang turning sideways, opening a hidden compartment on the wall, and inserting two pistols.  The key is turned. "Giggle!"  !  " "Boom!  !  " "Boom!  !  "This time, no secret door was opened! Instead, two stone doors suddenly slammed down from above. One was only a few inches away from Zhou Tai's feet, and it hit right between Yang Lianting and Zhou Tai, isolating the two. And the other was just a few inches away from Zhou Tai's feet.  One of them hit Yang Lianting four feet behind him. "Boom!"  Boom!  !  "The moment the two stone doors slammed into the ground, it seemed that the mechanism was triggered at the same time. The originally smooth wall of the isolated corridor between the two stone doors suddenly shot out dense, sharp and weak spears. "Hahaha"  Seeing Zhou Kang behind the stone gate, his face was horrified, and he faced the stone gate tremblingly. Then he looked ecstatic, laughed loudly, and said: "Dead!  Finally dead!  Haha I killed Yang Lianting!  !  " "Why do you want to kill me?  " Suddenly, a voice came from behind Zhou Kang. Hearing this, Zhou Kang's face suddenly turned pale! He turned around suddenly! "Bang!  !  " Yang Lianting grabbed Zhou Yong's throat, his eyes flashed dimly, and he said coldly: "Why?  " Just now, Yang Lianting was less than ten feet away from Zhou Kang. His movement was as fast as lightning, and with all his strength, he could rush several feet away in an instant. " How could such a trap trap him?  Zhou Kang is a businessman who does not understand martial arts. In the extremely nervous situation, he did not even notice that Yang Lianting rushed past him with high speed.The sound and air flow caused by ??.  And the image of Yang Lianting's lower body that Zhou Kang glimpsed at the last moment was just an afterimage of him.  As early as when the Zhou brothers invited him to enter the secret passage, Yang Lianting began to notice.  Because the two of them pretended to be nonchalant, but their rapidly beating hearts betrayed themselves.  Especially after entering the secret passage, Zhou Kang was extremely nervous.  How could such an abnormal heartbeat be hidden from Yang Lianting's ears?  Therefore, Yang Lianting quietly put on his longyi gloves and grabbed the hood in his hand, ready to go, waiting to see what the Zhou brothers wanted to do.  But he didn¡¯t expect that the Zhou brothers would actually kill him!  Yang Lianting can¡¯t figure it out!  The two sides have been in love for more than ten years.  Back then, it was his generous help that helped the Zhou family get through the difficulties, so no one in the Zhou family was destroyed.  And it was because of him and the support of Qin that the Zhou family became a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River.  Now, Qin will soon dominate the world at any time!  What benefit would betraying him bring to the Zhou brothers?  "Uh uh" Zhou Kang was so horrified that Yang Lianting pinched his neck. He was speechless for a moment, and then he rolled his eyes and his pupils became dilated.  Yang Lianting immediately frowned, because Zhou Kang was so scared to death!  It doesn¡¯t matter if Zhou Kang is dead!  But how did he get out of this underground secret room?
