Chapter 246: A Hundred Years of Reputation
Although my father felt that the royal family was unkind and unjust, he did not lose his life in the end...... Father didn't want the name of loyalty that the Marquis of Wu'an had donated blood for generations to be ruined on him. After Xue Jincheng finished speaking, he was silent for a long time.
"Well, it's okay," Mu Zi coughed twice and said with a dry smile, "Anyway, with the current situation of our family, the capital will be really chaotic at that time, and it is estimated that those people will not have time to keep an eye on us, and it should not be difficult to leave the capital!" ”
comforted on the lips, but Mu Zi's heart was complaining wildly. Didn't lose your life? If Xue Jinhong and Wang Junyao hadn't cheated to death, if Xue Jincheng hadn't been crippled, the Wu'an Hou Mansion would have been cut down many times, okay?
They didn't lose their lives, it's not that those people didn't do it, they just hid quickly, okay?!
However, Xue Jincheng's words reminded Mu Zi that Xue Li's worries were not unreasonable, the century-old reputation of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion could not be ruined like this!
The Marquis of Wu'an has always had a very high prestige among the people, and what can ruin its reputation is nothing more than "collaborating with the enemy and treason" and "seeking power and seizing power". These two charges can't fall on the head of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an in any case!
Mu Zi inexplicably remembered the two dry wells that had been filled in by Xue Jincheng, and a light flashed in his mind.
Mu Zi immediately looked at Xue Jincheng with a solemn expression, and said at a slightly faster pace, "You say, will those two tunnels not be a passage to enter the mansion at all, but a trap dug in order to trap the Hou Mansion in injustice!" ”
The Hou Mansion of Wu'an had done countless things before, and Mrs. Hou knew it in her heart but had never cleaned up this group of people, at that time, whether they were transmitting news or entering and leaving the Hou Mansion, it was not a difficult matter! Why dig two tunnels that are time-consuming and laborious?
Xue Jincheng listened to Mu Zi's words and felt like he was empowered. Yes, with the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the prestige in the army, those simple framing methods are very easy to overturn, such as letters from the enemy, private dragon robes, etc., there are many examples of such "conclusive evidence" in various dynasties and generations being condemned as a conspiracy to punish the nine clans, but it is because this trick has been used rotten, so if you are not careful, not only can you not harm the Hou Mansion, but you will cause a commotion.
But the two tunnels are different, from the Hou Mansion to the outside of the city, there is more than one, such a big project, I am afraid that no one will believe it if it is framed.
In this way, there is an answer to the place that I couldn't figure out before, that person is likely to force them to leave Beijing, and then raid their homes in full view, once they find those two tunnels, they can logically label the Hou Mansion as a "rebellion", at that time, the reputation of the Wu'an Hou Mansion will be discredited, and the military power and the people's hearts, the two biggest reliance of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, will be gone.
At that time, it was the death period of the Marquis of Wu'an!
What a poisonous scheme!
Mu Zi looked at Xue Jincheng's solemn expression, but breathed a sigh of relief, "Thinking about it this way, we are still too young, and my father is really far-sighted." ”
Xue Jincheng didn't answer this, still silent.
Mu Zi blinked her eyes and continued, "In this way, I don't know when I will be able to leave Beijing, at least after the raid!" There was no complaint in her voice, "However, if this thing doesn't work out, it is estimated that there will be a follow-up." ”
"It is estimated that I will have to survive until the new emperor ascends the throne!" Xue Jincheng looked out the window and replied in a light tone.
"It doesn't matter, at least at that time, my father will return to the field without his armor, and we can leave Beijing in the open." Mu Zi smiled.
