At this time, in the puppet king's mansion, Tang Jiu's subordinates cleaned up the battlefield and continued to search for Niu Mandi in the mansion, and at the same time sent a large number of men and horses to strictly guard the four gates, and never allowed Niu Mandi to escape from Luye City. After Zheng Zhaozong lifted the Heaven and Earth Net Array for the second time, he picked up the blood knife and fled, Bai Yueting also took the opportunity to escape, Tang Jiusheng and Xiahou Lingyu did not chase them anymore, but came to inspect Luo Fengyang's injuries.

The soldiers who were ordered to search the puppet Jiannan Wangfu soon came to report, but there was no trace of cattle all over the ground in the mansion. Tang Jiusheng ordered some people to be left to raid the treasury in the puppet palace, and asked Shui Ruyue and Xiahou Lingyu to lead people to raid the back house of Niu Mandi's house, lest there be any female dependents. Half an hour later, Shui Ruyue and Xiahou Lingyu reported that in addition to some maids and maids among the ladies in the back house, those concubines had already run away with their money. Only the eldest lady Lin Beiting refused to flee and committed suicide by hanging the beam.

There is a Detong Street in the northeast corner of Luye City, which is not prosperous, Detong Street is a north-south direction, at the north end of Detong Street, there is a two-entry courtyard house that looks the same as the incognito housekeeper Erjin Quadrangle. This courtyard house is only one street away from the incognito housekeeper courtyard on Deyun Street. Few people live in this courtyard, and I heard from the neighbors in the neighborhood that the owner of the small courtyard house is a small rich man, surnamed An, who does the silk business, and does not come a few times a year, that is, he lives here every year when the cash is collected.

Usually, there are any weddings and funerals in the neighborhood, and the people in the Anjia compound will never participate, so the neighbors have little friendship with the Anjia family, and there is little contact, so there are no visitors to the Anjia courtyard all year round, and it has always been very quiet, and the housekeepers and servants of the Anjia are also happy to be quiet.

The housekeeper An Debao once had a brother, who was An Chongbao, the captain of Jianzhou, who died in Jianzhou a few days ago, and An Debao counted this account on the head of Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei. An Debao's idea is very simple, you Tang Jiusheng can't go to Jianzhou to make trouble, how can my brother die? Don't look at him dying in the hands of others, that is also your Tang Jiusheng's pot, who do you not carry on your back? Who called you King Wei, those people are all your subordinates!

Niu Mandi shook his head and sighed: "Lao An, I know that you are comforting me, although Zhicheng escaped from the city, but Madame refused to leave, she said that the palace is in her, and now that the palace is gone, Madame must be gone." Although I can't talk about how deep I have a deep relationship with her, but I have been an old husband and wife for seventeen or eighteen years, and when I was just admitted to Xiucai, she became my wife, until I made a strategic envoy, and her big house status was as stable as Mount Tai. She's not a woman who loves to work, so I don't want to change her, no matter how many concubines I marry, she's a big lady!"

An Debao lowered his head and said softly: "Lord Wang, I have already sent someone to inquire about the news, and Mrs. committed suicide by hanging the beam!"

An Debao raised his head and looked at the cows all over the ground, "Lord Wang, the old slave heard that those who become big things do not care about their families! You are the prince who leads the party, you can't be discouraged because of a temporary failure, besides, there is still a chance to go out of the city, didn't that Luo Tang Master say that he will help us find a way? As long as you can escape from the city with a disguise, you still have a chance, Lord Wang." Don't we still have a few usable cottages? When the time comes, we will fight for the county guards of Lianshan and other counties, not to mention the support of allies such as the King of Pingxi and the King of Zhou, you will still have a chance to make a comeback!"

An Debao lowered his head, paced a few steps on the ground, and then looked up and smiled: "Lord Wang, that killer surnamed Luo only has money in his eyes, that's a good thing, we can use money to buy him." After all, we still have a lot of gold and silver, and you think, as long as we have money in hand, he will do things for us, isn't that a good thing?

An Debao glared and reprimanded loudly: "What are you panicking about? Our family is a good citizen, and there are no thieves, what are you doing in such a hurry? Lead the way, I'll take a look!" The middle-aged servant had the backbone of the main heart, turned around and bowed and retreated. An Debao turned around and squeezed out a smile at Niu Mandi, "Lord Wang, the minions look, you better hide in the tunnels, and the minions will go out to send them off first." ”

An Debao hurriedly followed the middle-aged servant to the gate, let the servant open the gate, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers rushed into the courtyard under the leadership of a small colonel, and the small colonel glared at An Deyu and said: "What are you doing? After smashing the gate for so long and not opening the door? Mother, do you have any thieves in your house? Brothers, search me immediately! This family is the key object of suspicion!"
