Chapter 496
Marquis Wu'an sat down lazily, took the tea from the maid, and then dismissed the servants, saying to his wife: "Now that your reputation has spread, just accept it. Everyone in the civil and military circles of this dynasty knows about me.
He is a marquis without a fiefdom, not as good as Chen Tianxiao."
"He holds a heavy army and is even more feared. If His Majesty had not agreed to allow the eldest prince to occupy the East Palace, he would not have been willing to go north." Although women are not allowed to discuss politics, this is not one of them for Marquis Wu'an. She was about to speak when something came from outside.
There was a commotion.
The commotion didn't sound like it was from the mansion. The couple stood up at the same time, and the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion came in immediately: "Master Marquis, Madam, it's not good, something happened in the He Mansion opposite."
Opposite was the residence of former naval commander He Yong. Thinking of what happened last night, the couple hurriedly went outside the residence. They saw that the Hou Mansion diagonally opposite had been surrounded by the Forbidden Army. Who was the leader if it wasn't Meng Tianqi?
The plaque of He's Mansion has been taken off, and the inside of He's Mansion is in a mess, with the cries of women and children coming one after another.
The relationship between Mrs. Wu'an Hou and Mrs. He Mansion is average, but He Mansion is very high-minded and looks down on her husband, who is a martial artist. Even though he was granted the title of Marquis, others did not take the Hou Mansion seriously. But today, seeing
Mrs. Wu'anhou was not happy about the disaster in He's house.
The imperial army surrounded the He Mansion like a bucket. When they came out of the palace last night, they knew that when the palace banquet was being held, Eunuch Hong had already come to issue an edict and punished the He Mansion. He Yong was executed on the spot, and the He family also
be implicated.
Now that he has been stripped of his official status and reduced to a commoner, the whole family is no longer allowed to live in this official residence. However, he did not expect that just now, all the people in the family will be moved out of the He Mansion. I don’t think Mrs. He and all the beautiful concubines will live in it.
If you are used to living a pampered life, you will cry at this time.
However, this crime is not unjust. It was a serious crime to lie about military information and almost lead to war. The couple was about to leave when a person suddenly rushed out of He's house and cried in the direction of the two of them: "Mrs. Marquis, help me."
ah!"
The woman with loose buns and no time to put makeup on her face was He Yong's wife. In the past, she and Mrs. Wu'an Hou had never dealt with each other, and now she didn't care to call for help from the two of them.
At this time, there were already many neighbors watching, and some people came here after hearing the news. Under the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Wu Anhou's face was slightly stiff, and she only regretted that she didn't turn around faster. This Mrs. He is really flexible and flexible. How often has she been in front of her in the past?
Lower your head.
This person will always be kidnapped by her moral character when she lives in the world. There are many onlookers. If she turns around and leaves, the people who turn around and don't know the truth can drown the two of them with spittle.
Therefore, Mrs. Wu'anhou took a few steps forward. Fortunately, Mrs. Nahe wanted to rush over but was stopped by the imperial guards. Commander Nameng stepped forward and said, "I have met Wu'anhou, madam."
"Commander Meng, what's going on?" Mrs. Wu Anhou frowned slightly and said, "It's so non-stop early in the morning?"
Regardless of whether the Marquis of Wu'an had real power or not and was personally anointed by the emperor, Meng Tianqi also wanted to give him some face: "To my wife, the He family is guilty. The imperial edict was conveyed last night, and today it is just a routine matter to search the house. The He family is guilty."
Everyone needs to leave here."
Are you going to ransack your home?!
The purpose of this house raid is to confiscate all the property in the house. Your Majesty actually went to such an extent?
There are so many people in this house, not counting slaves, but He Yong's wife and the children of his concubines, and his brothers' wives and children, etc. There are also dozens of people. If you don't have any family wealth, this one
We can see where we will end up after we leave the house.
It was reasonable to cry just now. No wonder Mrs. He could speak to her mortal enemy when she was desperate. How could Mrs. He let them go so easily? Half of her body collapsed on the ground: "Mrs. Hou, you
Just help us."
Mrs. Wu'anhou's heart moved slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Meng Tianqi turned around and scolded: "Don't drag them in yet!"
Then Mrs. He was forcibly taken away, and screams and wails rang out from time to time in He's house. Marquis Wu An and others felt unhappy, and they left quickly with Marquis Wu An. The people who were watching were still unaware of the changes in the court, and they were all talking about it.
What's the matter?
But there are also many shrewd people who speculate that it is related to the envoys of the Nanying Kingdom, and that this is a matter of liquidating the navy.
Listening to the discussion in their ears, the couple had no intention of staying. When they entered the house, they asked the housekeeper to close the door tightly and not accept visitors for the time being.
The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad. The couple sat down and felt a chill behind them. Although He Yong was an incompetent person and exaggerated the intelligence this time, the He family also had the merit of following the dragon. It had only been a few decades before they ended up like this.
This is how it ends.
"He Yong has died and been demoted to a good position. How can all the family property be confiscated? How will this big family live in the future?" Mrs. Wu'an Hou sighed: "I remember that there are several young people in the He family who are just a few years old.
Child, I really don’t know what to say."
"He Yong has reaped the consequences. Today at the court, Vice Prime Minister Bai recommended General Han to be the naval commander. His Majesty has already approved it. This change of general is appropriate. This change of general is not bad. It is just that the He family's property was confiscated. This is a lack of internal treasury.
Got some silver?"
Mrs. Wu'an Hou was about to drink tea. She paused and thought of the post just now and whispered: "Should Lord Hou have made plans earlier?"
Emperor Yuan was wary of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but the Marquis of Zhenbei had troops available, and they were far away in Beiguan. Many things were beyond the reach of Emperor Yuan, unlike their Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which was right at the emperor's feet. The He family was at fault and was punished.
, but if there is nothing wrong, how about making a mistake?
Marquis Wu'an knew that his wife's temperament always meant something to say, and he frowned: "There is no way out."
"If so, are you willing to do it?" Mrs. Wu Anhou looked around, took out the letter hidden on her body and handed it to Wu Anhou: "Look, she has not been seen in the past few years. It turns out there is
Such an earth-shaking change.”
When Marquis Wu An took the letter and looked at it, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he looked at his wife with a raised eyebrow: "You are so brave!"
"Rather than just sitting around and waiting for death, it is better to prepare an escape route in advance. Did you see what happened just now?" Mrs. Wu'anhou said: "Our palace does not have a prosperous family, but there are so many people. Your third brother's wife is just pregnant.
Upper body..."
"What if we didn't make plans early and were prepared to be killed?" Mrs. Wu Anhou said: "He is now the emperor, and he is disguised well on the surface, but you and I both know his true nature, how can he be so tolerant?
people?"
"He can bow his head when he can, even if it's to the Chen family and the Tang family. But now, have you seen what's going on with the Chen family?"
Mrs. Wu'an Hou mentioned the past and whispered: "He did not hesitate to assassinate my brother for Ying'an. He promised you so well when he used you, but when he got the power, he made you a nominal Wu'an Hou.
He has no fiefdom, and his actual position is promoted openly and secretly."
