The western suburbs of Tai'an City are remote. Walking further north, you will reach the Taishan area where the Taishan School is located. The western suburbs were originally a dilapidated village, but it was because of the existence of the He family that gradually became rich. The He family's ancestral house is here, and the He family's ancestral hall is also here. Every year, every head of the He family in charge will bring the He family up and down to worship. At that time, the most lively time in the western suburbs.

Yun Zangfeng followed He Songtao through the middle of the village. There were many guards following him. He rode under his crotch. The sound of tickling horse hooves made the village look a little quiet. When the old men and children in the village saw the arrival of the second young master of the He family, they all greeted him. Yun Zangfeng and He Songtao rode side by side, not like enemies who had just experienced a great battle, but more like friends who had been with each other for many years. They had a happy chat. Both of them had a look of joy on their faces.

Yun Zangfeng said to He Songtao as if he was joking: "Master He Er, I didn't expect that there was such a wealthy village in such a remote place. I think you are quite respected here. Could it be that Master He Er would do something good besides doing something that is annoying."

He Songtao laughed and said, "Young Master Yun was joking. It is impossible for a person to be bad, and it is impossible for a person to be bad. Even the saints have their own selfish desires. There is no black person in the world, or no white person, wealth, women, and power. There is always enough to attract us to chase them all our lives by any means. We are not afraid to tell you that the people here do not give me He Songtao face, but give me the He family a face."

"Our He family has made a fortune from here. It must be traced back to my great-grandfather. He went out here to do business and gradually developed step by step to get the current He family. In short, the He family has been doing business for nearly a hundred years since the beginning of business. The great-grandfather and grandfather were nostalgic people, and the ancestral hall did not move it here. I thought that when I was rich, I should give the villagers some sweetness. At that time, the He family had just been built. It was the time to use people, so I recruited the young and middle-aged men in the village, the women and the old mother in the village to do some servitude. The old housekeeper you have met has stayed in the He family since serving my great-grandfather. Everyone in the family respected him very much."

Yun Zangfeng was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the He family had such a side. They shook their heads and sighed: "The two old men are really good. The spirit of the two old men is worthy of my admiration. However, I didn't see how respect Mr. He Er respected his subordinates. I'm afraid he didn't inherit this spirit from the two old men."

He Songtao said again: "You don't understand this. You are a wanderer, not a family. What you think is that everyone has parents. Parents are raised by their parents. Some people have to serve others, and some people are arrogant. But this is the world. My He family provides their food, clothing, housing, transportation and salary for the four seasons. They sell themselves to my He family. This is their voluntary transaction. No one forces them. They have to sacrifice part of their own dignity and labor for survival. And my He family has received this part of the thing with money. Isn't this fair? The He family can't let them live in vain, right?"

"Just like you and me, there is no transaction between you and me, so even if you and I are still in a hostile relationship, I respect you and chat with you. If I don't treat the servants in my family like this, they will bully the master and step on my head to make me feel bad. Wouldn't my life be very sad? People cannot be too nice to him and dogs cannot be fed too much. You may not understand this principle. However, there is one truth you must understand, that is, since they are servants, there will naturally be someone above them to suppress them and enslave them."

Yun Zangfeng smiled bitterly, but he couldn't find a reason to refute He Songtao's words. He Songtao saw Yun Zangfeng's expression and continued: "Young Master Yun can understand what I mean. Look at the people here, they were either those who worked in the He family when they were young, or those whose children still worked in the He family now. When they left, the He family would give them a lot of money. The He family believed that they had never owed anyone."

"Sometimes I wonder if some people are born with a slave nature, and they still want to resist at first, or they feel resistant in their hearts, but after being enslaved for a long time, they gradually forget that they are still a living person, and even feel happy about this enslaved life."

Yun Zangfeng had to sigh for this and said, "Yes, some people can't stand up after kneeling for a long time. The dignity and pride of being born with human beings cannot be lost. It is better to die than to be a slave or a servant."

He Songtao actually showed a look of appreciation and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master Yun is so similar to my opinion. I think if you and I were not a rift, they would definitely become good friends. It's a pity that because of these misunderstandings, they were destined to miss a big talent like Young Master Yun."

Yun Zangfeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be friends if you have the same opinion. I really don't agree with some of Mr. He's behavior. Their vision and life experience are already destined to be friends. Yun dare not climb high or dare not climb high."

He Songtao smiled distractedly, and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he introduced Yun Zangfeng to the situation of Mount Tai or some interesting stories about the villages in the western suburbs.

While speaking, the group drove their horses to the entrance of a cave. The entrance of the cave was dim and dull and couldn't see what was going on inside. The black hole made Yun Zangfeng feel uneasy, as if something was going to happen soon, but the person had already arrived at the door and could not give up halfway, let alone nothing had happened.

Yun Zangfeng tightened the reins in his hand, and the horse stopped at the entrance of the cave. He Songtao smiled and said, "Why did Young Master Yun stop? Are you afraid that some ambush He set up here would be detrimental to Young Master Yun?"

Yun Zangfeng looked at He Songtao, without commenting, nor answering yes, nor answering no. Seeing that he had been bored, He Songtao ordered the guards around to turn over and dismount and walk into the cave. Yun Zangfeng was no exception. The entrance of the cave was low, so he would definitely not be able to get in if he rode a horse.

Everyone entered in a row, and the narrow cave seemed a little crowded. After walking five or six feet, the road turned to the ground on a not-so-steep slope. When you walked forward, the abdomen of the mountain would be hollowed out, leaving a large space. There were various torture instruments below and more than a dozen cells were cast against the wall. A staircase spiraled down the mountain wall, and the outside of the staircase was blocked with iron chains to prevent anyone from accidentally falling from the stairs.

Yun Zangfeng said strangely: "At the beginning, when I was at the entrance of the cave, I thought there was another cave inside, but I didn't expect that it was so magnificent. The He family should have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to create this secret prison. Only the He family has the financial resources and spare time to support the construction of this place. However, Mr. He, I wish I could say for granted that it seems that according to the laws of the Han and Tang Dynasties, setting up a prison room privately violates the laws and regulations. Are you not afraid that the court will cause trouble for your He family?"

He Songtao laughed, as if mocking Yun Zangfeng's ignorance, and as if showing his satisfaction when he was showing his strength. He said, "Young Master Yun is really too worried. Since my He family dares to repair this thing here, are you still afraid that the court will investigate it? The reason I chose this place is because of the privacy here. The village at the foot of the mountain is one of my He family. This place was built by the villagers for nearly ten years, so the villagers can pass the loyalty and trust. Those who are locked up here are blindfolded. They don't know the route, and they can't get out of the route, so naturally they don't have to worry about leaking the secret."

Yun Zangfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Justice He Er asked me if I was worried that the Second Master would set up an ambush here. At the beginning, I was skeptical and thought that Young Master He Er was a trustworthy businessman. Now when I heard Mr. He Er's remarks, I didn't plan to let Yun live a way out, nor did I plan to keep my promise? It seems that I should really worry about whether you will set up a trap here and wait for me to drill. The hollowed-out mountain looks like a big urn, and I am like a turtle who got into the urn by myself. Young Master He Er, you are really a person that should not be underestimated."

He Songtao said: "Everyone is a simple character, why should I carry so many followers with me to protect my safety? It's ridiculous. Just to prevent Mr. Yun from being alone, I arranged no less than fifty people to follow me openly and secretly to protect my thoughtfulness. Another person is confident that he has the ability to win Mr. Yun."

After hearing He Songtao's words, Yun Zangfeng felt a sudden "sudden" in his heart. He was not a top expert in the world, he was only half first-class. There were so many people who could deal with him. But such a person could be invited by the He family so easily?

None of the top experts in the world are above the top. They will never be willing to support others because of the He family's money. However, it is not ruled out that any expert was caught by the He family, or that the He family gave him a reward that made him moved, which forced him to do the He family to do so. Let's not talk about this expert aside, just the guards who were less than fifty in open and secret or the men in the Western Suburbs prison are enough for Yun Zangfeng to drink a pot. He is weak and Yun Zangfeng has to consider retreating.

While Yun Zangfeng was thinking, He Songtao said again: "Why do you have to worry too much about Young Master Yun? My He family started as a businessman, so naturally it is important to be creditworthy. If you say it, you will let Young Master Yun's friend go. The deputy leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, the Tiger Gang, was blinded when we invited him here. In addition, he was seriously injured, and has not fully recovered yet. When he left, we blindfolded his eyes and sent him back to Tai'an City. At that time, even if he went to the court to tell me that the He family set up a private prison or a private prison, he would be utterly speaking with his tongue and his words. Without any evidence, we can't shake us a little. Now, when we walk forward, the room Ding San is where the Tiger Gang Master rests here."

After hearing He Songtao's words, Yun Zangfeng also made up his mind and put aside his plan to evacuate first. He was willing to sacrifice himself and dared to pull the emperor off. In short, everything was waiting until he saw Xiaohu first. As long as Xiaohu could go out, Yun Zangfeng would not be worth the trip. When Xiaohu went out, he would be able to break through alone. At worst, he would kill the general with a long sword.
