"Sikong Ling, I actually admire you very much. You are still trying to play tricks at this time. You don't want me to search the carriage, so you say such things. You think you can scare me by this? Dream on! I must find out your true face today!" Although Wang Yu had a little uncertainty in his heart, he still made a harsh statement.

"Since Young Master Wang is so determined, then do as you please!" Sikong Ling looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. He also lost his patience to deal with someone like Wang Yu. He knew Wang Yu's character very well. He would not give up until he achieved his goal today.

Wang Yu believed that Sikong Ling would not let him search since he was harboring a fugitive, and would fight him to the end. After all, Sikong Ling could not afford such a serious crime as harboring a fugitive. Unexpectedly, Sikong Ling suddenly reversed his previous attitude and did not insist, but instead gave in.

The more this happened, the more Wang Yu backed off, especially when he saw Sikong Ling looking so relaxed and allowing him to search. If he didn't find the hidden fugitive, Sikong Ling would definitely seize the opportunity to make him pay, so he became a little hesitant.

"Young Master, should we continue searching? Sikong Ling is not someone you can easily mess with. If we don't have any evidence against him, he will definitely turn the tables on us. It will be hard to resolve the situation peacefully then. Besides, the Prime Minister has always valued those two. It would be a big deal if we make the Prime Minister unhappy." Wang Yu's subordinates didn't really want to offend Sikong Ling. After all, Sikong Ling's reputation in Chang'an was too loud. It would be fine if Wang Yu offended someone. Relying on his status as the Prime Minister Wang's eldest son, he would at most receive a lesson, and nothing would really happen. Don't implicate them. They are just small fry and cannot withstand Sikong Ling's revenge.

The subordinate had indeed hit the nail on the head about what Wang Yu was most concerned about. Wang Yu, who had been a little impulsive at first, calmed down immediately. Although he had been looking for trouble with Sikong Ling to vent his anger, he also wanted to capture the fugitive and win credit for his father. If he really failed and was blamed by his father, it would not be worth it if his heart was completely deceived by the other brothers. However, he was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.

At this time, a few more people came on horseback. They were also Wang Yu's men. They were sent to keep an eye on Sikong Ling. When they came, they whispered a few words in Wang Yu's ear, and Wang Yu looked happy.

"Are you telling the truth?" Wang Yu said with some excitement. The news really came like timely rain. The reason why he hesitated and did not dare to touch Sikong Ling was simply because he was not sure whether there was a fugitive hiding in the carriage and whether Sikong Ling had really colluded with the fugitive. As a result, the news came.

"It's true. Several of my subordinates saw with their own eyes that Sikong Ling's carriage took several people away. We chased after him, but Sikong Ling's men were too cunning. They took us around in circles and used some confusing means, so I lost him. That's why I came to report the news to the master now. I didn't expect Sikong Ling to be so bold as to take people out of the city in a carriage. It was that carriage.

Those people had been staring at Sikong Ling, so they saw the carriage very carefully and said without hesitation:

"Well, you have done a great deed this time. When I catch the fugitive and expose Sikong Ling's true identity, I will definitely recommend you to my father. You will definitely receive a reward!" Wang Yu seemed to have seen his father praising him, affirming his abilities, and Sikong Ling's future fate.

"Someone, get in the carriage and search it. Not a single fugitive can be spared!" Wang Yu took a reassuring pill and without hesitation sent people to break into Sikong Ling's carriage to search.

Qingzhu was so angry that he almost jumped up. How dare these people search his master's carriage? Wang Yu was a man with no ability at all. If he hadn't relied on his status as Wang Mang's eldest son, he would have been staying in that corner. He was simply a person who was not worthy of being in the public eye.

"Young Master Wang is determined to make things difficult for my young master. I wonder if Prime Minister Wang will be happy to know that you have done this? The other Young Master Wangs are getting more and more outstanding. No wonder you are under so much pressure and come up with such a stupid idea." Although Qingzhu was angry, he still knew his limits. With his identity, offending Wang Yu would only bring trouble to his master. However, Wang Yu's weaknesses were known not only by his subordinates but also by Qingzhu, so he sneered and said with a bit of sarcasm.

Wang Yu didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by a servant. The affairs of their Wang family were actually seen by a servant like Sikong Ling and made a joke out of it, which made him even angrier.

"Sikong Ling, keep your servants under control. You are so talkative. Be careful that you might end up dead on the street one day."

"It's not Mr. Wang's turn to worry about my servants. Mr. Wang should take care of himself first."

"Hmph, Sikong Ling, you are still so arrogant. You're going to cry soon. Surround them all. The fugitive is hiding in the carriage. Don't let any of them escape!" Wang Yu said as he walked towards the carriage.

Sikong Ling was too lazy to respond. He just got off the carriage and looked at Wang Yu indifferently.

"Master, there's no one in the carriage!" Wang Yu's men searched the carriage but didn't see a single ghost. They said in a panic:

"How is it possible? There are clearly people hiding in the carriage. They are the wanted criminals who escaped this morning. You must not have looked carefully enough." Wang Yu refused to believe his subordinates' words at all. His voice was a little sharp, and it was obvious that he could not accept such a result. He took a few big steps forward and wanted to check it himself, but the carriage was so small, how could so many living people leave?

"How could this happen? Someone clearly saw it!" Wang Yu said as he looked at the people who came to report the news with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"Didn't you say you saw the prisoner enter the carriage with your own eyes? How could there be no one there?"

Those people had originally thought that they had made contributions and were waiting happily for the reward, but they had no idea that it would be like this. Seeing Wang Yu’s angry look, they all knelt on the ground in fear and said, “I did see those people get on the carriage. Maybe they were hidden during the time we lost them?”

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Sikong Ling, tell me! Where did you hide those people? My subordinates clearly saw those fugitives get on the carriage. Now the fugitives are gone. It was you who hid them!" Wang Yu accused with red eyes, but Sikong Ling was too lazy to pay attention. Someone like Wang Yu was not worthy of it!

"Young Master Wang has gone a little crazy. He said that there was someone hiding in our young master's carriage. Now he has found everything. Shouldn't he give our young master an explanation? Our young master will not tolerate others slandering him at will!"

"Let's go. If Young Master Wang can't give me an explanation, someone else will." Sikong Ling didn't have time to kick the man when he was down. Since the matter had been settled, it was time to set off. If he wasted a lot of time, he would see him later.
