Chapter 286: This is not He Jiongming

Shen Ge relied on the help of the wolves, found the four secret passages in the woods one by one, rode into Anzhou City, and after finding the Anwang Mansion, Shen Ge saw Zhuang Ming, and asked in the first sentence, "Can you find He Jiongming?"

"Found it." Zhuang Ming led Shen Ge to the pharmacy in the front yard and pointed to the black corpse burning on the ground, "This is."

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

"Yes." Zhuang Ming pointed to the gold exposed in the charcoal black on the corpse's helmet and armor with his eyebrows, and said, "In Anzhou City, only He Jiongming wears gold silk armor, and this person is."

Then, Zhuang Ming pointed to the corpse's left arm, "The sleeve crossbow on his left arm, after He Jiongming was sent to King An's Mansion, the two Lang Zhong who treated his injuries have also been captured, and they watched He Jiongming breathe with their own eyes. He Jiongming fell from the city wall, the back of his head was broken, and his lumbar vertebrae were broken, and this was the case with this corpse. Look at the hands of the corpses."

Zhuang Ming's Emei thorn pointed to the corpse's outstretched palm, and continued, "If a living person is burned to death by fire, his hands are clenched into fists, and the five fingers of this corpse are slightly bent, and he is already dead when the fire catches fire."

Shen Ge stared at the corpse that had been burned on the ground and couldn't see it, and said, "Brother Shun, what should a person who knows martial arts look like when he falls from a height?"

Zou Shun immediately said, "Roll on the ground with both legs."

"Although He Jiongming claimed to the public that he didn't know martial arts, he pretended to be An Ziyuan and fought with people outside Wusha Town, and his kung fu was not low." Shen Ge analyzed, "So it is impossible for him to hit the ground on his back and break his lumbar vertebrae when he falls from the city wall."

Zhuang Ming nodded, "The little boy is right."

Zou Shunmeng circled, "The subordinates and Brother Ming interrogated no less than twenty people, and some of them watched He Jiongming being carried in, and Lang Zhong even examined He Jiongming's injuries with his own hands, and watched him lose his breath."

Without Shen Ge to speak, Zhuang Ming spoke, "He Jiongming often pretends to be someone else, and may have prepared a stand-in for himself. Childe, what are we going to do next?"

"I'll go talk to the marshal." Shen Ge found Shen Cunyu, who was methodically arranging Anzhou's military and civil affairs, in the only remaining lobby in the front yard of Anzhou Yamen, and told her about He Jiongming's possible golden cicada shelling and running away.

Shen Cunyu immediately ordered, "Sanxi, pass on the order of the commander, guard the four gates, and everyone who wants to go out of the city, whether it is the enemy or me, the people, whether they are men, women, or children, must touch their faces one by one, and make sure that they are not wearing masks before they can be released." Sixi went to find Zheng Changming, asked him to immediately paint a portrait of He Jiongming, and then posted it at the gate of the city, offering a reward of 5,000 taels for arrest."

"Yes."

After the two female generals, Sanxi and Siyu, went out, Shen Cunyu explained to his younger brother, "We have just entered the city, and we have not yet appeased the people, so it is not appropriate to search and arrest people everywhere."

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

Shen Cunyu asked rhetorically, "What if he has already left the city, are you afraid?"

Shen Ge also opened his eyebrows with a little childishness, and smiled, "Even if he escapes from the city, he is still a street rat, what is Lao Tzu afraid of him doing?" Sooner or later, Lao Tzu ......."

Before Shen Ge finished speaking, his sister's slap arrived, "You dare to call yourself Lao Tzu in front of Lao Tzu?!"

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

Shen Cunyu was happy, "Lao Tzu is busy, go to the backyard of King An's Mansion to catch rats, and I have already caught a lot of big rats."

When he arrived in the backyard of King An's mansion, Shen Ge knew what the big rats his sister said, Princess An, King An's third son, fourth son, eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson were all taken out. Xiao Wu pointed to the one in a group of gray-faced women wearing blue dresses and covering their heads with silk handkerchiefs of the same color, and said, "That's He Jiongming's daughter-in-law, and the two children born of He Jiongming next to her. Little boy, He Jiongming's wife and children are in our hands, he will definitely find a way to save people."

Shen Ge's gaze swept over He Jiongming's wife and children, "If he cares about his wife and children, he won't let them follow King An out of the city through the secret passage. In order to let himself fake his death and get out, he even gave up his daughter-in-law and children."

In order to survive for himself, regardless of Lao Tzu, nor his daughter-in-law and children, can He Jiongming still be regarded as a person? Xiao Wu and the others smacked their tongues.

Shen Ge asked again, "What about He Jiongzhao's wife and children?"

"When King An left, he didn't take them with him, and they were all burned to death." After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he looked at the maid who was tied up and was obviously dressed as a maid and mother-in-law, and sighed, "Even the servant girl who served the person was brought, but he didn't bring his own grandchildren, King An deserves to be He Jiongming's son."

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

"No need to ask." He Jiongming's wife, Cao Shi, raised her head, "I don't know anything."

Shen Ge stared at Cao's eyes for a while before he said, "Tell me everything you know, and I can make your children suffer less."

Cao Shi also looked at Shen Ge for a moment before nodding.

Shen Ge stared at the backyard for a while, and 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 bump into He Jiongming. He hadn't gone far when he heard someone call out to him.

"Shen Ge? Shen Ge!"

Hearing the shout, Shen Ge looked for a voice, and saw a rebel with a blindfold covering his right eye and a pockmarked face looking at him with a look of surprise, "You are Shen Ge from Wusha Town, right? Do you still recognize me? We escaped the flood in July last year in the Guanyin Temple outside Haolian Village in Qi County."

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

Ma Er, who grabbed the life-saving straw, squeezed away the officers and soldiers guarding it, and ran to Shen Ge in surprise, "You have joined the right Hou Wei and become a general?" Amazing, amazing!"

Shen Ge, who was wearing the armor of the deputy general of the right Hou Guard, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked away.

Ma Er's blind man was anxious, "Shen Ge, General Shen! We were also deceived by King An, and begged Shen Ge to help us say a few good words in front of the marshal, let our brothers go, brothers will miss you for the rest of your life. Anyway, we're brothers who have lived and died together, aren't we?"

"Brother?" Shen Gele was happy, "I see that you are not only blind, but also have a broken brain."

Ma Er's blind man was so thick-skinned that he couldn't pierce it with a knife or gun, pretending 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, showing that everyone was hypocritical and distorted, "Brother Shen is right, I didn't have a bad brain, so I fell for King An's old puppet."

The people of Sanzhou who were deceived by King An were all used as chess pieces by King An today and sent to the front of the two armies. Ma Er's blind man is different, he was caught from the secret passage by the officers and soldiers, and he is the cronies that King An has to take with him when he escapes.

Shen Ge didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly ordered the officers and soldiers guarding him. "Hold this blind man in jail, and don't let him escape."
