Chapter 512: Using the opponent’s trick
However, there is still a lot that needs to be done. Si Kong Ling is not a magnanimous person. Even if it is something that may happen in the plan, Wang Yu will not let it go since he is rushing over to cause trouble.
Not long after Si Kong Ling left, someone went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a warrant from Sikong Mansion. Before Wang Yu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything that happened at the gate of the back city was known to Wang Mang, and the people sent by Si Kong Ling naturally did not Maybe he was standing in a neutral position or Wang Yu's position. Wang Yu had acted out of proportion regarding the city gate. The people sent by Si Kong Ling complained about it, which made Wang Mang very angry.
It would be fine if Wang Yu only provoked others, but he provoked people he shouldn't have provoked. In addition to the stupid things Wang Yu had done before, it was really difficult for Wang Mang to treat his son.
"This bastard! He won't stop until he gets into trouble. Si Kong Ling is not only the young master of the Sikong family, he is also a more difficult person to deal with than the head of the Sikong family. It would be fine if he had full confidence and went to find someone so rashly. Not only did he fail to catch someone's trouble, but he was also sued and asked to give me an explanation. He is simply a person who fails to succeed but fails to succeed! Why can't he use his pig brain to think carefully about Sikong Mansion and Bei'an? The Hou family has nothing to do with each other, and they are even on opposite sides. How can they get involved? What good can this do?"
Wang Mang angrily smashed the cup in his hand. At this time, Wang Yu came back. Wang Yu saw the situation in the hall and guessed that his father must know what happened outside the city. This time he failed and failed to catch Si Kong Ling. , he will definitely be beaten up by Si Kong Ling, and his father will be angry for sure. Fortunately, he has already thought of an excuse when he comes back. Even if his father is angry, he will only scold him a few times and not go too far.
"The son has met his father." Wang Yu calmed down, then walked into the main hall and greeted Wang Mang.
Wang Mang was extremely strict in terms of etiquette. Even if it was his own son, he could not deviate even slightly, otherwise he would definitely be displeased. The only exception was that woman's son. He was obviously just an illegitimate son and was very lowly, but he could make his father look good. of.
When Wang Yu thought of this, he felt particularly angry. Fortunately, his father still knew how to behave. Even if he doted on that woman's son, he only doted on him and would not let him get involved in anything he didn't deserve. Otherwise, he would never sit back and watch. Yes, the biggest threat to him now is his brothers from the same mother. Although they have the same mother, they are not so harmonious. They secretly compete for their own rights and status.
"You know how to come back? It's a shame that you have the honor to come back. You're a failure who only succeeds but fails!" Wang Mang got angry when he saw Wang Yu, and made a long and lengthy accusation.
Although Wang Yu was not convinced, he could only lower his head and listen honestly. He waited until Wang Mang finished venting before starting to explain. He had some experience, but from the meaning behind his father's words, it was not someone who was informing him this time. , but Si Kong Ling brought the complaint to his father, and Wang Yu felt another layer of hatred in his heart.
"Father, my son knows that you are angry, but things are not as Si Kong Ling said. He always likes to go against me, so what he says is naturally untrustworthy. Please listen to me and explain to you..."
Wang Yu told Wang Mang everything he had guessed and discovered, as well as what his subordinates who were watching Si Kong Ling saw, and told Wang Mang, making Wang Mang believe that Si Kong Ling really had ulterior motives and had colluded with the fugitives from the Bei'an Hou Mansion.
Unfortunately, Wang Mang didn't believe what Wang Yu said at all. The most fundamental reason was that Si Kong Ling had no reason to do this. Si Kong Ling was not a fool like Wang Yu. He acted recklessly just based on his own preferences. Such a risky thing , unless it is related to profit, otherwise it will never be done.
"Father, believe me, the people I sent to keep an eye on Si Kong Ling really saw the fugitives from the Bei'an Marquis Mansion getting into Si Kong Ling's carriage, and they were hidden somewhere by Si Kong Ling. As long as they caught Sikong Ling, Ling, I will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of Bei'an Hou and his son."
Wang Yu said confidently that he had determined that Si Kong Ling was related to the fugitive anyway.
Wang Mang didn't believe this at all, so he didn't focus on it: "You said you sent someone to keep an eye on Si Kong Ling? When did you send them, and why did you send them to keep an eye on Si Kong Ling?"
"My son felt that Si Kong Ling's fellow was uneasy and well-intentioned. The Si Kong family didn't really rely on us, so he was watched to see if Si Kong Ling would reveal any tricks. Sure enough, he found out..." Wang Yu naturally found out... It couldn't be said that it was because of the personal grudge between himself and Si Kong Ling. He just gave a random excuse, and Wang Mang naturally saw through it.
"Nonsense, you are my son. I don't know what your virtues are. It's just because of the little dispute between you and Si Kong Ling that you hold a grudge against others. I am afraid that you want to find an opportunity to retaliate, so you let people keep an eye on you. With Si Kong Ling, right?" Although Wang Mang's words were doubtful, they were filled with certainty.
Wang Yu's intention was revealed by Wang Mang, and his eyes flickered: "Father, I admit that I did have such thoughts before, but it is precisely because of this that I discovered such a big secret."
"Secret? You idiot, just relying on the few useless things you sent, you thought that no one would be discovered. I was afraid that others would have discovered it long ago, so you simply used a trick to make you fall into this trap. , but you haven’t discovered it yet, and you are still fooling yourself, thinking that you have discovered someone else’s secret. If Si Kong Ling really colluded with the fugitive, you would have discovered it, it is a joke!”
Wang Mang's words were merciless, and he also hit the nail on the head. Sikong Ling had indeed discovered the person Wang Yu had sent to spy on him, so he made a plan to take advantage of the situation.
"Father, you mean that Sikong Ling did this on purpose, and then..." Wang Yu finally understood at this time, "This Sikong Ling is so despicable and shameless that he actually used such a sinister plan!"
"He is smart and scheming, but you have been picking on him several times. If it weren't for me, your father, do you think you can still stay here? Sikong Ling did this for my sake and only gave you a small lesson."
Wang Mang was already extremely disappointed with his eldest son. It would be fine if he was not smart, but he was narrow-minded and had no tolerance for others. Otherwise, Sikong Ling and he had no conflict of interest, so how could it have come to this point today.
At this time, Sikong Ling just left Chang'an's affairs to his subordinates, and traveled day and night. Finally, two days later, he arrived at the place where Meiying and the others were hiding. Without asking anything else, he went directly to Su Wenyue's room.
"How is her condition?"
