At this time, Yang Lianting sensed that a large number of people and horses were coming from all around. There were so many people and there was great movement. He immediately asked Zhou Tai, "Did you notify the government?" When thinking of the officers and soldiers who had just followed Zhou Tai into the secret room, Yang Lianting already understood that Zhou Tai might have informed the Suzhou government. Hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Emperor, have mercy! Emperor, have mercy! I shouldn't be obsessed with ghosts" Yang Lianting interrupted: "Shut up! Is there a secret passage in the village leading to the outside of the city?" Zhou Tai said: "Nono! It hasn't been dug yet!" Suzhou is crisscrossed by rivers. Suzhou City occupies a large area and is surrounded by water. If the tunnel is really dug outside the city, the project will be huge. If one accidentally digs it, The river channel will be flooded by the river water. From the villa to the nearest outside the city in the west, it is a full kilometer long. "The Zhou brothers bought this manor and had only a short period of time to renovate it. The secret tunnel used for hiding treasures and escaping is naturally kept extremely secret. It is impossible for the Zhou brothers to use too many manpower. Yang Lianting frowned, looked at Shen Jiuniang and her daughter, and said to herself: "Now we are in some trouble!" Suzhou is not only an important industrial and commercial town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the center of the country's silk industry and an important place for military defense. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Yingtian, and Suzhou became an important place in the capital. Liujiagang in Taicang was the throat of the capital guarding the Yangtze River. There are two guards stationed in Taicang, Zhenhai and Taicang, and one guard in Suzhou Fucheng. The Suzhou Guard stationed in the capital city has five thousand households on the left, right, middle, front and back. Each thousand households have 1,120 soldiers, for a total of 5,600 people. They are directly subordinate to the Central Military Governor of the capital. Government jurisdiction. The guards are responsible for city defense, and there are guards at all six gates in Suzhou. And each important town has an inspection department. The Inspection Department shall have one chief inspector and one deputy inspector. Outside Suzhou City. A total of twenty inspection departments were set up, and each inspection department was equipped with forty archers to maintain social order. There are also 68 Yanduns set up along the banks of the Yangtze River in Kunshan and Changshu counties, which are managed by the local inspection departments. In case of enemy situation, burn smoke during the day. Raise a fire at night as an alarm signal. This was before. After the war with the Qin State, the imperial court increased its troops in large numbers. Now Suzhou has only a lot more troops. When Yang Lianting entered the city, he saw a large number of officers and soldiers defending the city. ¡°If he was the only one, it would not be difficult to leave Suzhou even if the city gate was closed. With only a little girl, Yang Lianting was almost certain. But with the addition of a woman, it's not just twice as difficult. At this time. Seeing Zhou Tai knelt down and begging for mercy from Yang Lianting, Shen Jiuniang was convinced of Yang Lianting's identity and immediately saluted: "I have seen I have met the emperor." Shen Jiuniang didn't know how to call Yang Lianting, so she followed Zhou Tai's example. he. Then he urged his daughter to salute Yang Lianting. But her daughter Taosheng was still young, so when she saw Zhou Tai, who had been very kind to her mother and daughter, being held hostage by Yang Lianting, she was a little afraid of Yang Lianting. Yang Lianting said: "Madam, there is no need to be polite!" After a pause, he said: "What happened today is a long story. Zhou Kang and Zhou Tai colluded with the government to murder me. Now the officers and soldiers from Suzhou are coming here. Madam, Please pack your bags immediately. The sooner the better." Hearing this, Shen Jiuniang's expression changed and she immediately packed her bags. Yang Lianting grabbed Zhou Tai and pulled him out of the house. As Yang Lianting walked away, he asked coldly: "Besides Xu Ji and your Zhou family, who else has betrayed me?" Zhou Tai quickly told everything he knew, and then kept begging for mercy: "Emperor, Please save my life, Zhou Tai is willing to work for the emperor to atone for today's sin!" Yang Lianting was both scared and happy. Xu Ji and others did not dare to betray him openly from the beginning. Because these people also know that they are Qin spies and must not be exposed. Especially Xu Ji knew that once his true identity was exposed, the little emperor would no longer favor him. Moreover, they wanted to kill not only Yang Lianting, but also the Qin army. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhou brothers were eager to commit suicide today and took it upon themselves to murder Yang Lianting, thus exposing their ambitions in advance and without knowing it, Xu Ji and others would only have to give false information to confuse them when they start a war with the Ming army. If Yang Lianting and the imperial court jointly set up a trap to kill the Qin army, this would be a disaster. "Giggle" Yang Lianting stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Tai's throat, and said coldly: "For your father's sake, I will not kill your Zhou family. I can avoid you and Zhou Kang's wife and children. "After saying that, he grabbed it hard, and then swung it violently, throwing Zhou Tai's body far away. When Yang Lianting was trapped in the secret room, Zhou Tai let his family escape first, and the guards left by the Zhou family had all been killed by Yang Lianting. Now this villa except Yang Lianting and Shen JiuniangMother and daughter, no one else. Yang Lianting returned to the house and said to Shen Jiuniang: "Madam, there are so many officers and soldiers in Suzhou City. If they break through and break through, I am afraid that Yang alone will not be able to protect you two among the thousands of troops" Hearing this, Shen Jiuniang's heart Startled, his face turned pale, he glanced at his daughter, and immediately knelt down to Yang Lianting. Yang Lianting was stunned for a moment. Shen Jiuniang said: "I have a humble life, and it is not a pity to die. I beg the emperor to take my daughter away for the sake of my husband." Yang Lianting hurriedly said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law has misunderstood. There is an underground secret room in this village, which is where the Zhou family's treasure is hidden. , which is equipped with food and water. Yang just wants his wife and niece to hide in the secret room for a few days. If Yang goes out to distract the officers and soldiers, it only takes a few days for our Qin reinforcements to come here to rescue them. After a pause, he continued: "Although Yang is protected by treasure armor, invulnerable to weapons and arrows, and is not afraid of bows and crossbows, even a thousand troops cannot stop me. But if he rashly takes his wife and niece to break through, I'm afraid it will happen." It will cost you your lives. Since Yang has promised Brother Tang, he will never abandon you." Shen Jiuniang said gratefully, "Thank you, Emperor!" She then pulled her daughter to kowtow to Yang Lianting. Shen Jiuniang did not doubt Yang Lianting's words, because she understood that the status of the two parties was too different. If Yang Lianting was really greedy for life and afraid of death, and abandoned them, there would be no need to pay attention to them at all, and she would not waste time explaining to her at this moment. . Yang Lianting quickly stopped the two of them. Although Shen Jiuniang was born in a brothel, she was able to make the aloof Tang Bohu marry her regardless of worldly views. Truly an extraordinary woman. " When a disaster is approaching, she can risk her own life just to save her daughter's life, which is enough to prove her character. He asked Shen Jiuniang and his daughter to hide in an underground secret room, while he himself went to lure the officers and soldiers away, waiting for Qin's rescue. This is the strategy Yang Lianting made in a short period of time. When Yang Lianting came out this time, he specially ordered Qin's fleet to be ready to respond at any time along the coast. After Linghu Chong, Huang Zhonggong and others took a boat to sea, Qin's fleet would meet them. And Yang Lianting also ordered the fleet to go north instead of going south directly back to Guangdong. Yang Lianting had already expected that the land and water routes in Hangzhou would be blocked, so his original plan was to come to Suzhou and take a merchant ship of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce to go to sea. But now the Zhou brothers have rebelled, and Suzhou City has been blocked by the government. Even if Yang Lianting successfully escaped from Suzhou City with Shen Jiuniang and her daughter, they would not be able to leave the sea without the protection of local forces. Even if he is lucky enough to keep the two of them safely escaping from Suzhou City, they will still face the unrelenting pursuit of officers and soldiers. By then, the main roads and pipelines may also be impassable. They can only escape to the wilderness or deep mountains and forests. But Yang Lianting had no confidence that he could safely protect Shen Jiuniang and his daughter from Suzhou. Especially after knowing that Xu Ji and others had turned against him, Yang Lianting did not dare to disappear into hiding at this time and cut off contact with Qin. Whether it is Dongfang Bubai or Lu Qingqing and others, after knowing the news that he is being chased by officers and soldiers, they will definitely act rashly in order to rescue him. If he had taken Shen Jiuniang and his daughter into hiding. If rumors spread silently, the entire Qin State would be even more panicked. If Dongfang Bubai and Lu Qingqing were worried about something happening to him. In order to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty, they will inevitably send troops to wipe out the world with blood. But now, they still don't know that Xu Ji and others have betrayed Qin. If they fall into the trap accidentally, they will suffer a big loss. Therefore, Yang Lianting cannot hide! He must let people know. He's fine, he's alive and well! If there were no other worries, Yang Lianting wouldn't even have to hide his identity, he would just have to rush out boldly. But now Shen Jiuniang and her daughter have become his worries. It was impossible for Yang Lianting to abandon Tang Bohu's wife and children and escape alone. Although there is an underground secret room in the Zhou family that can hide her mother and daughter. But Yang Lianting couldn't just leave Suzhou. This secret room is the place where the Zhou family's treasure is hidden. Zhou Kang and Zhou Tai's wife, children, and their henchmen may have known about the existence of this secret room. Just now, Zhou Tai led officers and soldiers into the secret room, which also showed that this underground secret room may have been known to others. If Yang Lianting leaves Suzhou, someone will definitely come back here to take out the treasure. By then, will Shen Jiuniang and her daughter have a way to survive? There are food and water sources in the secret room, and relying on the geographical advantage, one man can guard the gate, and no one can open it. However, Yang Lianting thought for a moment and rejected the idea of ??hiding in the secret passage and waiting for help. If the ground was blown up by soldiers, no matter how good Yang Lianting's martial arts skills were, he would still be buried alive. His mind was spinning, and within a short period of time, Yang Lianting had a proper plan in mind. ? ??Can't hide, can't escape! We can only make a big fuss in Suzhou city! The bigger the fuss, the more everyone knows about it, the better! As for how to make trouble, Yang Lianting also thought of a way. Even if forced to do so, he would have to go on a killing spree to keep Shen Jiuniang and her daughter safe! While Yang Lianting led Shen Jiuniang and her daughter into the secret passage, he briefly told her his plans and reassured her. Even Shen Jiuniang, a well-informed woman, was shocked to hear this. The eyes that looked at Yang Lianting were full of admiration. Fortunately, Yang Lianting asked Shen Jiuniang to blindfold her daughter early, otherwise she would have been frightened by the dead bodies everywhere. Yang Lianting found a stone room near a well and ordered the two of them not to act without authorization in the secret room and not to trigger any mechanical traps. After taking away the two keys, he rushed out of the secret room. Before the officers and soldiers arrived, Yang Lianting covered the entrance to the secret room, then set a fire and burned the study. After that, they set fire to the houses one by one in the villa.
