After looking around, Li Shu'er and they didn't have much to gain, and the only conclusion they could draw was that the first possibility was that Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi were captured by Shen Ruchao's Qing army, but if this is the case, then Shen Ruchao must want to spread the news throughout the city, so as to use Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi as bait to lure the three of them into the net, but from the fact that Shen Ruchao hurriedly rushed to the west gate of the city with the soldiers of the firearms battalion just now, instead of staying in the palace to arrange to use Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi to catch the three of them, it can be inferred, Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi did not fall into the hands of Shen Ruchao, which is why Li Shu'er swore that the two of them were fine.

In addition, there is another possibility, that is, Liu Ruoxue, Zhongli Yiyi, together with Zhang Xiwang's family, broke out of the encirclement and escaped, as for where to flee, it is unknown, fortunately, Zhang Xiwang is an old resident in Cangzhou City, and he knows everything here, as long as he is with Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi, he can always find a temporary hiding place, not to mention that Liu Ruoxue is a wood demon with his own spells, and Zhongli Yiyi is a swordsmanship master who does not let Xu Mei go, as long as he does not meet a demon sect boss like Master Cui, It should not be a problem for them to ensure their own safety.

In the midst of gains and losses, sudden joys and sorrows, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou sorted out and analyzed all kinds of possibilities, and the final conclusion was that Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi were safe, and the top priority at the moment was to find the two of them as soon as possible.

Uncle Li thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the Cangzhou Mansion to investigate again, because Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi were also looking for the three of them, and the most ideal location would undoubtedly be the Mansion - because they (they) were too familiar with the Mansion Ya, and many unsolved mysteries in Cangzhou City were also inextricably linked to the ghosts wearing flower feathers in the Mansion Ya, Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi were both ice and snow smart people, and they would not fail to think of this layer, so it seems that the most dangerous Cangzhou Mansion Ya, But it is a dead knot that they (they) can't get around and can't get rid of, and if they open this dead knot, many mysteries may be solved.

The Cangzhou City Government seems to have become a key to unlocking many secrets in Cangzhou City.

Fortunately, after the thrilling shock of the Taiping Army almost breaking the west gate of the city, Cangzhou City was already boiling at this time, and there were people fleeing in a hurry everywhere.

Under the cover of the surging people/stream, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou each found a broken felt hat to wear on their heads, and then used rags to cover their mouths, noses and mouths.

After walking a distance, the Cangzhou Mansion was already close in front of me, and I thought that in this chaotic environment, the surrounding of the Mansion should be sparsely populated, but I didn't want to be crowded, as if something had happened.

Li Shu'er and the three of them were surprised, so they squeezed into the crowd, and when they looked forward, they saw Luo Zhen rolling on the flagpole in front of the mansion, with a large rag in his mouth, but there was still black blood flowing out of his mouth, staining his chest red.

Next to Luo Zhen, the corpses of more than a dozen big men who were also tied up by the five flowers fell on the snow, their heads separated, and they had already become ghosts with severed heads, and there were large blood stains everywhere on the snow, and the warm blood melted the snow into a shallow pool of blood, which was shocking to watch.

Behind the corpses, there stood six executioners with bloodstained ghost-headed knives, Shen Ruchao, Decheng, a cadre of scholars, and a servant stood there, and Shen Ruchao stood on a table, hoarsely showing the onlookers the so-called "crime" of Tang Zhen colluding with the Taiping Army Association members outside the city, and almost breaking the west gate of the city.

After listening to Shen Ruchao's bewitchment, some unknown people were excited, picked up the snow and garbage on the ground and threw it at Tang Zhen, who was tied up, Tang Zhen's eyes were round, the corners of his eyes were bleeding, his untamed head shook desperately, and his mouth also made a roar like a beast, as if he was crying out for himself.

Shen Ruchao saw that the emotions of the people had been almost stirred up by himself, so he said in a loud voice: "Villagers, my Cangzhou City is solid, as long as you are united with the government and the soldiers who defend the city, and share the same hatred and hatred, why worry about the long hair, so if you really want your wives and children and sisters to be ravaged by the long hair, if you really want your fields and cattle and horses not to be invaded by the long hair, if you don't want your ancestors' tablets to be thrown into the thatched toilet by the long hair, then don't go to escape, you can hide from the first day of the new year, but you can't hide from the fifteenth, Once Cangzhou City is lost, even if you flee to the countryside, how can you save the lives of your family? I, Yan Zhao, have been many generous and tragic people since ancient times, and my Cangzhou City is martial arts and heroes, and the people are fierce, how can I be willing to do the shameless act of escaping from the battle? The bloody seven-foot man of Cangzhou, and wait for the mansion to kill the leader of the rebel bandits who collaborated with the enemy, sacrifice his blood to the flag, and then lead you to a duel with the long hair, Bo a knife and a shot, and seal the wife and son, are you willing? ”

Shen Ruchao's eloquence is very good, and those people gather together, infect each other, and drive each other, forming an atmosphere similar to the Stockholm effect, so after listening to Shen Ruchao's incitement, under the trend of blind obedience, one by one's faces turned red, green tendons collapsed, and their mouths shouted indiscriminately that they wanted to join the army and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Ruchao wasted no time in waving his hand, and an executioner raised his knife and cut off Tang Zhen's head, and a rain of blood rose to the sky, splashing blood everywhere on the flagpole.

The blood light rushed to the sky, which further stimulated those men who had been incited by Shen Ruchao, and they couldn't help but let out a strange cry like a pack of wolves barking at the moon, looking like a group of primitive savages who were about to go on an expedition.

At this time, his own scholars came over with the officials, and led the men who were boiling with blood and screaming, regardless of the persuasion of their wives and mothers behind them, to happily go to collect the weapons and become the cannon fodder of the new wave of defending the city.

Seeing those men willingly fall into Shen Ruchao's trap one by one, Uncle Li sighed and said in a low voice: "Isn't this Shen Ruchao trying to drag the people of the whole city to be martyred for him?" Or do you want more people to die in this Cangzhou city, so that Cangzhou City will be full of blood and ghosts will be rubbing shoulders? Shen Ruchao, Shen Ruchao, why can't the real people see through you more and more? ”
