509. Chapter 509: Repeated Tolerance



At this time, no matter how courageous the soldiers guarding the city gate were, they did not dare to say in front of Sikong Ling that they wanted to search the carriage. Even if they did not dare to disobey the orders from their superiors, daring to offend the young master of the Sikong family would be a capital crime. Not to mention others, even the powerful Prime Minister Wang was quite polite to the young master Sikong. Moreover, if small soldiers like them dared to embarrass the young master Sikong, they would be courting death.

Besides, what kind of person is the young master Sikong? He is not the kind and easy to talk to. Once an official offended the young master of the Sikong family and was thrown into the Wild Wolf Valley to feed the wolves. No one in the court said a word. Even the emperor and Prime Minister Wang agreed. Such a person could be sent to hell with just a casual word. It was as easy to crush him to death as to crush an ant. How could he dare to offend him in the slightest?

"Your humble servant greets Young Master Sikong." The city guard knew Sikong Ling was here, so he immediately rushed over to pay his respects. He was not much different from the soldier, and they all looked trembling with fear, afraid that something might upset Sikong Ling.

Sikong Ling only showed up at the beginning and then lowered the curtain. There was no need for Sikong Ling to deal with a person like the city gate officer. Qingzhu was enough.

"Our master is waiting for something, why are you blocking the city gate? Can you afford to delay things?" Qingzhu already knew that this would be the result. With just a few soldiers, they wanted to stop his master and search him. This was not only wishful thinking, but also outrageous!

"Yes, yes, I dare not delay Young Master Sikong's business. Let him go now, immediately!"

The city gate officer spoke without any hesitation, commanding his soldiers to make way and kneeling respectfully on the side of the road to watch Sikong Ling leave.

"Stop! Stop them immediately!"

Sikong Ling's carriage had just left the city gate when a horseman came galloping over. He arrived before the man, but he made a noise first. In his hand was a shining gold medal, which showed that it was an order from the palace. When he got closer, it was discovered that the man riding the horse was Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu.

Wang Yu practiced internal martial arts, and his loud roar could be heard from far away. Sikong Ling naturally heard it, but he pretended not to hear it. The carriage continued to move at the same speed, with no intention of stopping.

The city gate officer really didn't know what to do. Should he stop them or not? No matter which side he offended, he would suffer. Why was he so unlucky today and encountered so many things?

The city gate officer was still hesitating, but the horse that had just galloped over had already passed him and was chasing after the Sikong family's carriage, followed by a large group of cavalrymen. They all ignored him and passed by him like the wind, raising a lot of dust. The city guard swallowed several mouthfuls of dust and made a few "Puh" sounds. He wanted to curse in his heart, but he had to put on a respectful look on his face, not daring to show any bad emotions. They were all big shots, and he couldn't afford to offend them!

"The people in front, stop immediately. A suspect has escaped from the Sky Prison. Prime Minister Wang has ordered that the city gates be closed immediately and no one be allowed to enter or leave. Search for the criminal everywhere and don't let anyone escape from the capital!" Wang Yu said as he made a move, and the team of guards he brought with him surrounded Sikong Ling's carriage.

Wang Yu had long been fed up with Sikong Ling's arrogant and overbearing attitude. He was the eldest son of the Wang family, but Sikong Ling didn't even take him seriously and was usually indifferent to him. It was really too arrogant. But his father always indulged Sikong Ling's behavior and even forbade them to provoke Sikong Ling and asked him to back down.

Today, the Wang family has become the most powerful family in Chang'an. Even the emperor has to act according to Wang Mang's wishes. This shows how powerful the Wang family is. They even want to depose the emperor and establish their own. As Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu naturally thinks that he will inherit everything from the Wang family. Everyone compliments Wang Yu for the sake of Prime Minister Wang. Wang Yu is flattered to the point of being at a loss. He feels very good about himself.

But at this moment, Sikong Ling didn't buy his account at all. He wanted to win him over and made overtures to him several times, but Sikong Ling not only turned a blind eye, but also acted as if he was too lazy to pay attention to him and even looked down on him, not taking him seriously at all.

"If you don't have that ability, don't provoke him. Who is Sikong Ling? You can't win him over at will. Even your father doesn't have that ability. I have put in a lot of effort and it only tilted the balance of the Sikong family towards me. Don't be so smart and do stupid things in the future. I don't know why other people's sons are so smart, but you are so stupid. You are not even one tenth as good as Sikong Ling!"

These are Wang Mang's original words. On that day, Wang Yu was dissatisfied with Sikong Ling's attitude towards him. He was instigated by someone and wanted to teach Sikong Ling a lesson. Unexpectedly, he was fooled by Sikong Ling and lost face. As a father, Wang Mang, when he learned that his son had suffered a loss, his first reaction was not to protect him, but to scold him to death. He even seemed to overestimate Sikong Ling and belittle him.

How could Wang Yu bear this? This time, the Marquis of Bei'an and his sons disappeared inexplicably in the Tianlao. Based on some clues and inferences, Wang Yu thought that this matter was related to Sikong Ling. What's more, Sikong Ling's leaving the city at this time made him think of many things. Maybe the Marquis of Bei'an and his sons were hiding in Sikong Ling's carriage. If they were found, it would be ironclad evidence of Sikong Ling's collusion with the enemy. His father would definitely be furious when he knew about it, and would definitely make Sikong Ling and the entire Sikong family fall into an irretrievable situation.

"Young Master Wang, you led your troops to surround our master's carriage, what does this mean?!" Qingzhu had no intention of backing down in front of Wang Yu. Although Wang Yu was Wang Mang's eldest son, these sons of Wang Mang did not hold a high position in Wang Mang's mind, but they had no self-awareness at all. With just a little favor, they actually wanted to use the young master for their own purposes. When they failed to achieve their goal, they became angry and opposed the young master everywhere. It was really annoying.

"What do you mean you didn't understand?! My father has issued an order that if a wanted prisoner escapes from the prison, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city, including Sikong Ling!" Wang Yu said, thinking about how he had to explain so much to a servant, while Sikong Ling, the boss, was sitting in the carriage and hadn't even shown his face until now. He must have looked down on him so much that his eyes became red and he stared at the carriage closely.

"My master knows about Prime Minister Wang's order. Now could you please give way, Young Master Wang?" Qingzhu ignored Wang Yu's vicious look, and his words were full of impatience towards this idiot. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yu was Prime Minister Wang's son after all, and if it weren't for the fact that Wang Yu was Prime Minister Wang's son, and if it weren't for the fact that the young master couldn't go too far for Prime Minister Wang's sake, he would have tolerated Wang Yu's provocations again and again.
