Chapter 380 Two Conspiracies
Because, Mu Zheng knew very well that this case was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

According to his and Huo Qiming's bold speculation, it is very possible that someone is brewing a huge conspiracy.

Moreover, the target is Mu Zheng!
However, digging deep into the details, there are still many places that cannot be smoothed out.

And, motivation!
Mu Zheng and Huo Qiming still couldn't figure out the most important link of motivation.

The person behind the scenes planned such a big game of chess, there must be a purpose, right?
Whether it was to pull Mu Zheng off his horse or put Mu Zheng to death, such small fights were not enough to shake Mu Zheng at all!
What's more, taking ten thousand steps back, even if this person really achieved his goal.

So what's in it for him?

In terms of military power, even if Mu Zheng lets go, the millions of soldiers under his command will only belong to the imperial power, and will not fall into the hands of anyone other than the emperor.

That's why, Huo Qiming would risk the world's displeasure and point his doubts at the emperor.

Talking about the regime again, even if Mu Zheng was framed successfully.

However, according to his identity and status, as long as he does not openly rebel against the emperor, kill the king and seize power, then any stain will not be enough to affect him for Mu Zheng!

Moreover, everyone is tacitly aware of it.

Mu Zheng is the first emperor's direct bloodline, he is the orthodox royal family.

This throne should have belonged to him in the first place!

That's why, after Lin Youyi recalled the incident of the Taimiao fire, Mu Zheng tried his best to cover it up!
Because, as long as one is not done well, someone will spread rumors that are not good for the emperor and shake the foundation of the country!
After thinking about it, Huo Qiming gradually extended his doubts to the emperor!

Fortunately, Mu Zheng noticed it quickly, and stopped him with sharp words.

Mu Zheng had no reason, no need for a reason, he was unwilling to believe from the bottom of his heart that this conspiracy was related to the emperor.

Huo Qiming's daring, dangerous, and groundless suspicion, just thinking about it, made Mu Zheng unbearable.

Mu Zheng has always been clear that the relationship between him and the emperor is like a piece of impeccable porcelain.

The trust between their brothers makes this porcelain valuable and perfect!
And his identity made this porcelain fragile and fragile!
Suspicious, it is the cracks that appeared on this porcelain.

It doesn't make the china any more precious, it just makes it more fragile!

Moreover, once a crack is formed, it can never be repaired.

Therefore, Mu Zheng must stop the crack from the source!
Originally, in order to avoid having many nights and dreams, Mu Zheng planned to ask the emperor to marry Lin Youyi after he returned.

The sooner the marriage between the two of them is settled, the sooner Mu Zheng can feel at ease.

But now, the case at hand is not solved for a day, and Mu Zheng can't open his mouth to let the emperor give him a marriage.

Moreover, now, Mu Zheng has realized that he is being targeted!

Then, how dare he involve Lin Youyi at this juncture?

However, this is still only a subjective reason.

In fact, when Mu Zheng and Lin Youyi were still at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, objective reasons had already been lurking in the capital of God.

While Lin Youyi was bathing in the soup spring, Sanbao sent news from the court.

After Mu Zheng glanced casually, he handed Di Baoyang to Huo Qiming.

After Huo Qiming took it, he looked at it carefully, and immediately, he couldn't help showing a sad look on his face.

The mansion newspaper said that early this morning, rumors about Zhang Miaozhen spread crazily inside and outside the government and the public.

Outside the court hall, the common people were discussing and condemning with words and pens!

Before, Zhang Miaozhen suffered a misfortune, but she suffered the consequences after she failed to harm others. In the end, she ended up in a tragic situation of being run away by bandits and being humiliated one after another.

Now, the fact that she killed an innocent mother and child for nothing has been spread.

In other words, in the previous incident, at least no one was killed, and Zhang Shilang could still take the blame and resign to keep Zhang Miaozhen.

The emperor also thought that Zhang Shilang was diligent in public affairs and loyal to the court, and Zhang Miaozhen had suffered the consequences of herself and turned into a living dead.

Teen allowed Zhang Shilang to wait for Zhang Miaozhen's condition to stabilize a little bit, and then let him move his family out of Beijing, as a punishment.

However, this time, people were actually killed!

And, interestingly.

Regarding Zhang Shilang's "indulging in a woman to act violently and murdering people", the rumors are very targeted!
All the common people could tell vividly how horrific the death of the mother and child was, which made people turn pale and filled with righteous indignation.

And all the courtiers also took advantage of this opportunity, for their own interests and standpoints, to try their best to accuse Dali Temple of ineffectiveness and the grace of the emperor!
But no one asked about the identities of the mother and son.

Naturally, no one related this matter to Lin Youyi and Chengyanghoufu.

Therefore, it is obvious that someone is deliberately manipulating the trend of rumors in secret, just to achieve ulterior motives.

"My lord, could you be the culprit behind this murder, and want to take this opportunity to attack and blame Dali Temple in order to target you?"

Among the three divisions, Dali Temple is the most handy arm that Mu Zheng uses.

Letting the emperor severely punish Huo Qiming and lose trust and dependence on Dali Temple is tantamount to breaking Mu Zheng's arm.

It can be seen from this that this matter is still aimed at Mu Zheng.

"It's true against this king, but these two cases were not done by one person!"

"My lord, what do you say?"

"Isn't it strange that you want to hurt this king but have reservations?"

"what do you mean……"

"The knife was in his hand, but he didn't stab the king in the heart. Why?"

Huo Qiming reacted a little.

He temporarily shelved the case of the tragic death of Zhang Liang's wife and child.

One reason is that if Zhang Miaozhen is to be blamed for the whole case, it seems logical, but after careful investigation, there are still many doubts and unexplainable points.

The second reason is that Zhang Liang is involved in this case, and Lin Youyi and even the entire Hou Mansion will be involved.

Due to Mu Zheng's face, Huo Qiming could only shelve it for the time being without hard evidence.

Thinking of this, Huo Qiming suddenly felt enlightened.

That's it!

For Mu Zheng, only Lin Youyi is his weakness!
If the planner of this conspiracy really intends to target and attack Mu Zheng, then hurting Lin Youyi is the most effective and direct method!
But, he didn't have that person!
As Mu Zheng said, the tragic death of Zhang Liang's wife and child is like a sharp double-edged sword.
