With the help of the wolves, Shen Ge found the exits of the four secret passages in the woods one by one, and rode into Anzhou City. After finding Prince An's Mansion, Shen Ge asked Zhuang Ming the first thing he said, "Have you found He Jiongming?"

"I found it." Zhuang Ming led Shen Ge to the pharmacy in the front yard, pointed at the burnt black corpse on the ground, "This is it."

Shen Ge frowned, "Have you confirmed your identity?"

"Yes." Zhuang Ming pointed at the corpse's helmet and the gold on the charcoal black of the armor with the Emei thorn, and said, "In Anzhou City, only He Jiongming wears the golden silk armor, and this person wears it."

Then, Zhuang Ming pointed to the left arm of the corpse, "The sleeve crossbow on his left arm, after He Jiongming was sent to Prince An's mansion, the two doctors who treated his wounds were also captured. They watched He Jiongming die with their own eyes. Yes. He Jiongming fell from the city wall, the back of his head was broken, and his lumbar spine was broken, that’s what happened to the corpse. Look at the hands of the corpse.”

Zhuang Ming's Emei thorn pointed at the outstretched palm of the corpse, and continued, "If a living person is burnt to death, his hand is clenched into a fist, and the five fingers of this corpse are slightly bent, he will be dead when the fire hits."

Shen Ge stared at the burnt corpse on the ground, and said, "Brother Shun, when a person who knows martial arts falls from a height, what should his landing posture be?"

Zou Shun immediately said, "The legs landed and rolled on the spot."

"Although He Jiongming declared that he doesn't know martial arts, he has fought with people outside Wusha Town when he was pretending to be An Ziyuan. His kung fu is not low." Shen Ge analyzed, "so it is impossible for him to fall from the city wall with his back. He landed and broke his lumbar spine."

Zhuang Ming nodded, "Young master is right."

Zou Shunmeng circled, "My subordinates and Brother Ming interrogated no less than 20 people. Some of them watched He Jiongming being carried in. The doctor even personally examined He Jiongming's injuries and watched him die."

Zhuang Ming didn't need Shen Ge to speak, "He Jiongming often pretends to be someone else, and he may have prepared a substitute for himself. Young master, what shall we do next?"

"I'll go discuss it with the Marshal." Shen Ge found Shen Cunyu who was orderly arranging Anzhou's military and civil affairs in the only remaining lobby in the front yard of Anzhou Yamen, and told her that He Jiongming might have escaped from his shell.

Shen Cunyu immediately ordered, "Sanxi, pass on the order of the commander-in-chief to guard the four gates. Anyone who wants to leave the city, regardless of the enemy or the people, regardless of men, women, or children, must touch his face one by one to make sure that he is not wearing a mask. Zheng Changming found him and asked him to immediately draw a portrait of He Jiongming, and then posted it at the gate of the city, offering a reward of 5000 taels for his arrest."

"Yes."

After the two female generals Sanxi and Siyu left, Shen Cunyu explained to his younger brother, "We have just entered the city, and we haven't appeased the people yet, so it's not appropriate to search around and arrest people."

"I understand." Shen Ge nodded, "If He Jiongming is still in the city, he will fall into our hands sooner or later, so don't rush."

Shen Cunyu asked back, "If he has already left the city, are you afraid?"

Shen Ge opened his eyebrows and eyes with a little childishness, and smiled, "Even if he escaped from the city, he is still a street mouse, what am I afraid of him? Sooner or later, I..."

Before Shen Ge finished speaking, his sister's slap came, "How dare you call yourself Laozi in front of me?!"

Dodging his sister's slap, Shen Ge snorted, "I learned from you."

Shen Cunyu was happy, "I'm busy, go to the backyard of Prince An's Mansion to watch and catch mice, many big mice have already been caught."

After arriving in the backyard of Prince An's Mansion, Shen Ge knew what big rats his sister was talking about. Princess An, King An's third son, fourth son, eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson were all pulled out.Xiao Wu pointed to the one among a group of gray-faced women who wore a blue dress and wrapped her head with the same color silk handkerchief, and said, "That's He Jiongming's daughter-in-law, and the two sons and daughters of He Jiongming next to her. Young master, He Jiongming's wife and children are all here. In our hands, he will definitely find a way to save people."

Shen Ge's eyes swept over He Jiongming's wife and children, "If he cared about his wife and children, he wouldn't let them go out of the city with King An through the secret road. He even gave up his wife and children in order to let himself escape by feigning death." gone."

For his own survival, he doesn't care about his father, his wife or children, can He Jiongming be considered a human being?Xiao Wu and the others clicked their tongues.

Shen Ge asked again, "Where is He Jiongzhao's wife and children?"

"King An didn't take them with him when he left, and they were all burned to death." After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he looked at the bound maids who were obviously dressed as maids and mother-in-law, and sighed, "Even the maids who serve others are brought along. , but did not bring his own grandchildren, Wang An is worthy of being He Jiongming's father."

Shen Ge didn't say anything more, but only ordered, "Brother Ming, interrogate these female relatives, especially Princess An and He Jiongming's wife, to see if they know the whereabouts of He Jiongming."

"You don't need to ask." He Jiongming's wife Cao raised her head, "I don't know anything."

Shen Ge stared into Cao's eyes for a while, and then said, "Tell me everything you know, and I can save your children from suffering."

Mrs. Cao also looked at Shen Ge for a moment, then nodded.

Shen Ge stared at the backyard for a while, seeing that he couldn't help much, he went out of the palace to try his luck on the street, to see if he could run into He Jiongming.Before he had gone far, he heard someone calling him.

"Shen Ge? Shen Ge!"

Hearing the shout, Shen Ge looked for his reputation, and saw a rebel with a blindfold covering his right eye, a face full of pockmarks and soil, looking at him in surprise, "Are you Shen Ge from Wusha Town? Do you still recognize me?" No? We escaped the flood together in the Guanyin Temple outside Haolian Village in Qixian County last July."

Isn't this Ma Er blind man?Shen Ge nodded.

The blind man Ma Er, who had grasped the straw, squeezed away the guarding officers and soldiers, ran to Shen Ge and said in surprise, "You joined the right guard and became a general? It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Shen Ge, who was wearing the armor of Lieutenant General Youhouwei, ignored him and walked away.

The blind man Ma Er was in a hurry, "Shen Ge, General Shen! We were also deceived by King An, please help us say something nice in front of the marshal, let us go brother, brothers will miss you forever. How should we put it, we are brothers who have lived and died together, haven’t we?”

"Brother?" Shen Ge laughed, "I think you are not only blind, but also brain broken."

The blind man Ma Er was so thick-skinned that a knife and a gun could not pierce him, he pretended not to understand Shen Ge's sarcasm, and continued to pretend to be pitiful with a bitter face, but his expression was on his face, which seemed hypocritical and distorted, "Brother Shen said Yes, I was fooled by that old man Wang An because I was not out of my mind."

The people of the three states who were tricked by King An were all used as pawns by King An today and sent to the front of the two armies.Blind Ma Er was different. He was captured by the officers and soldiers from the secret passage, and he was the confidant that King An always took with him when he fled.

Shen Ge didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly instructed the officers and soldiers guarding him. "Put this blind man in prison and don't let him escape."
