Chapter 163 Clever Lie
Since childhood, Xie Lingwan has always had complicated feelings about her father.

She did not harbor a high hatred for Xie Tao.

All Xie Tao's indifference and ruthlessness are more like the tradition of the Xie family, rather than deliberately targeting Xie Lingwan.

When the Xie family educates their children, they rarely mention abstract things like family affection.

They believe that all relationships and connections between people in the world are just another form of expression of interest disputes.

When men and women become husband and wife, they just take advantage of each other; parents care about their children for the sake of providing for their old age; children honor their parents because of their own reputation; clan members safeguard the interests of the family just so that the family can safeguard its own interests when necessary.

Therefore, the Xie family has always been indifferent to their partners and children.

Compared to Xie Lingwan's mother, Xie Lingwan felt that Xie Tao should have more affection for her.

She laughed to herself.

I'm so good.

"Father, please stop joking. I made it very clear at that time that there is no remaining affection between me and Fang Weihan."

Xie Lingwan said lightly.

"When he wrote that poem, we had already severed all ties with him. My daughter is willing not to get married again and devote herself to building up the family's power."

Xie Tao nodded lightly.

"it is good."

Xie Tao smiled and spoke, with a different meaning in his tone.

"No matter what you want to do, just do it for the sake of your family and yourself."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the secret room.

Xie Lingwan looked at his leaving figure, still a little confused in her heart.

She couldn't understand what Xie Tao meant.

Does he mean to support himself?
His father, who has always been stubborn, would actually support him in this matter?

Xie Lingwan frowned slightly.

Xie Tao should not harm himself, otherwise he would have done it long ago.

No matter what, the current task is to gather the power left by Xie Lue without an owner as soon as possible, and fill the vacancy of the high-ranking command of the Xie family as soon as possible.

But what Xie Tao said just now still eluded her.

The girl felt a little uneasy inside.

After I finish dealing with the mess left by Xie Lue, I will start planning to take back power from Xie Tao.

This kind of thing is the most secure thing to have in your own hands.

Xie Lingwan made up her mind and quickly walked out of the secret room.

Before going out, she suddenly stopped as if she thought of something.

Xie Lingyuan's hand flashed with light and she took out a fire fold.

"Boom."

Fire suddenly appeared at the top of the fire folding tube.

The girl threw it back and closed the door.

Fire and thick smoke came out from the gap in the door, but Xie Lingwan never looked back.

This miserable place should be set on fire.

……

At this time, in the palace of the Wang family in Uehara.

Wang Zhongguang has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. At this moment, he is sitting gloomily on the side seat, drinking tea from cup to cup without saying a word.

"What happened... the entire Shaxu Station disappeared? Xuan Zhongwei also said that the investigation could not find the reason?"

An elder of the Wang family was slamming the table hard, his trembling voice full of anger.

"Return the white robe of Tianque! Just like Shi Dangliu, Xiao Fuwei is indeed a thief who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"

Another middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe sighed and said worriedly:

"Our communication with Yizhou has been interrupted for five days. If this continues, there may be trouble!"

"Why haven't we received any information about this matter? Does the Lanling Xiao family know something, but keeps it secret?"

The clan elder just hit the ground heavily with his crutch and said aggressively.

"I went to a post station belonging to the Wang family in Shangyuan, and more than a hundred family members disappeared without any reason. The only person who might know the inside story is still pretending to be a snake to us!"

"I think we should immediately put pressure on the Lanling Xiao family and ask them to hand over the truth about this matter!"

The clan elder's voice instantly brought up waves of echoing voices in the lobby.

"Correct!"

"Press!"

"Xiao Fuwei's move is really ridiculous!"

The middle-aged man who spoke just now stood up again and pressed down with one hand to signal everyone to lower their voices.

"Please don't be impatient. I think there are still many strange things behind this matter."

"Perhaps we should investigate first before making a decision. At the same time, it is not appropriate to have a large-scale conflict with the Lanling Xiao family. After all, the eight surnames of Zhou Dynasty have been standing side by side for a long time, and they are of the same spirit. Ruining this situation rashly will only allow others to gain the advantage of others. Profit!"

"I hope everyone will think twice!"

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and looked around, and said worriedly.

He didn't mean what he said, but those present were all core members of the Uehara Wang family, including some old foxes who had been in the officialdom for many years. They were even more concerned about the implication of his words. Know everything.

Changming City is so big, how can there be any fishermen?It's just the one sitting in the palace.

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of support.

"Yes, there may be a hidden agenda behind this matter."

"Perhaps we should ask for information in the direction of Yizhou."

"I have some cooperation with Xuan Zhongwei, so I must not sever ties with them.",

The old man who just spoke turned to look at the middle-aged man in Confucian robes, and said sarcastically:
"Xiao Shisi, everyone knows that you and Xiao Yangwang have a very good relationship, but this cannot be used as a reason for us to sacrifice the interests of the family and forgive the Lanling Xiao family."

"They must pay for their disrespectful behavior."

The middle-aged man was not polite at all when facing his uncles and elders.

"Uncle Ninth, revenge must be avenged, but not now. Now that the Holy One is here, how can we have any resentment again? Could it be that Uncle Ninth thinks that the swords of the Sixteenth Imperial Guard in the south of the city are not fast enough?"

"This is not Hedong, this is Changming City!"

What he said was quite unkind.

This directly shows that Fang Zun is not a fool. As long as there is a slight rift between the Uehara Wang family and the Lanling Xiao family, he will definitely find every opportunity to place his cronies in areas where the two families' forces overlap.

The old man on crutches was furious, and his face turned red with anger.

"you!"

"All right!"

At this moment, in the middle of the hall, a person sitting high on the main seat patted the armrest of the chair.

The man's hair was somewhat gray and he was wearing a purple and gold official robe.

He was simply sitting there, his body as thin as a mountain, making people dare not look up.

He slapped the armrest in a low voice, sounding weak, but the people arguing still fell silent.

Just because of this person's identity.

Zhongshu ordered Wang Dun, the General of Hushi, and the three divisions of Yitong, plus Sikong, Jiejie, Lu Shangshu Shi, and the title of Leping County Duke.

The patriarch of the Uehara Wang family enjoys absolute authority within the family.

"I sent Bo Guang to investigate the matter of Sha Xuyi three days ago, and I have reached a conclusion now."

Wang Tun said lightly.

"Boguang, let me tell you."

"Yes, father."

Wang Boguang stood up from the corner, walked calmly to the center of the hall, looked around calmly and then bowed, exactly like the heir to the Uehara Wang family.

Wang Zhongguang was still drinking tea cup after cup at the side, his expression became more and more depressed when he saw this.

"The day after the news from Yizhou was cut off, I immediately went to Fufeng County to try to figure out what happened in Shaxuyi."

Wang Boguang said loudly.

"After my investigation, I have now reached a conclusion."

He took a deep breath and said:
"There were more than [-] people in Shaxuyi, and none of them survived." The crowd was instantly in an uproar.

"what?"

The clan elder who had already disliked the Lanling Xiao clan was instantly horrified and furious.

"Bo Guang, who did it?"

"The Uehara Wang family will never let him go!"

Even the middle-aged man was a little surprised at this time. Facing the emotional crowd, he chose to remain silent.

"Vulcan Cult."

Wang Boguang said calmly.

"Vulcan Cult?"

After hearing these four words spoken by Wang Boguang, everyone's opposition became less firm at this moment.

Some of them had quietly calmed down their expressions and stood aside in silence.

Others were looking left and right while speaking, lowering their voices to look for those who agreed with them.

The relationship between the Uehara Wang family and the Vulcan Cult is very complicated.

This is a very sharp knife in their hands. Many people have even slaughtered livestock with this knife, and their bodies are stained with the blood of livestock.

Now some people are saying that they cut themselves with this knife and are talking about destroying it.

Many people have to consider whether to continue to maintain their original opinions.

After all, if you cut yourself with a knife, just bandage it.When killing a pig, you can't do it without a knife.

"Boom!"

"What about the Vulcan Cult? Anyone who harms the interests of the family will pay ten times the price!"

Seeing that everyone was speechless, the old man angrily knocked the head of his cane on the ground, which was particularly obvious in the silent hall.

"This... I'm afraid it's not good..."

Now everyone no longer dared to echo the words, and began to speak vaguely.

Wang Boguang smiled and spoke again:

"Master Jiu, as Uncle Fourteen said, there is indeed a hidden secret in this matter."

"The Vulcan Cult does a lot of evil on a daily basis. They are the worms and dregs of our Great Zhou. I believe you all have hated them for a long time and wish they could get rid of them as soon as possible."

"But as far as this matter is concerned, they are probably just as pure victims as we are."

Wang Boguang's words made the doubts hanging over the hearts of everyone present even thicker.

Judging from what he meant, could it be that this matter was not done by the Vulcan Cult?

"Bo Guang, just tell me whether this matter was done by the Vulcan Cult."

The middle-aged man in Confucian robe just asked directly.

"Yes and no."

Wang Boguang replied calmly.

"According to the investigation report issued by Xuan Zhongwei, they were the murderers, killing more than a hundred Xuan Zhongwei soldiers and more than 200 members of my Uehara Wang family."

Wang Boguang changed the topic and his voice became a little cold.

"But they were wrongly accused."

"Why did the Vulcan Cult attack Sha Xuyi? They had no reason to do so."

Everyone nodded, obviously recognizing his words.

There is no need for the Vulcan Cult to break up with the Uehara Wang family. Doing so is tantamount to creating a powerful enemy for themselves out of thin air.

In fact, before Wang Boguang mentioned this matter, many members of the Uehara Wang clan had already learned about what happened in part of Shaxuyi from other news channels.

The reason why I say it is partly is because of the confidentiality order issued by Xiao Fuwei. The truth of this matter has been well sealed. Only the insiders of Xuan Zhongwei can know the inside story.

They only knew that the Vulcan Cult attacked Shaxuyi, and Xuanzhongwei went to intercept and repulse their attack.I know nothing about the rest,
Therefore, everyone in the Wang family could not quite figure out why the Vulcan Cult suddenly attacked Sha Xuyi, and why Xuan Zhongwei reacted so quickly this time when he was not in Changming City.

"They were going to kill someone, but that person happened to be in Shaxuyi."

"who is it?"

The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"King of Guangling, Fang Weihan."

Wang Boguang said coldly.

Everyone was in an uproar again and began to discuss their impressions of Fang Weihan.

"That playboy who does all kinds of evil?"

"Fang Weihan? The prince who wrote a good poem in the brothel two days ago?"

"Well, I've seen this Fang Weihan before. It's just that he doesn't have a good reputation, but it's not as bad as the rumors say."

"Didn't he go to the outer city just a few days ago to destroy the Song family gang with Xuan Zhongwei? No wonder the Vulcan Cult wanted to kill him..."

Wang Boguang ignored the various reactions of everyone and continued to speak:
"Fang Weihan won over Xiao Ji from the Xiao family in Lanling a few days ago, and together they destroyed the Song family gang. This made the people of the Vulcan Cult hold a grudge and decided to get rid of him."

"But Fang Weihan usually spends most of his time in Changming City, and the people of the Vulcan Cult can't find the right time to take action."

"Until this time he left Changming and rushed to Shaxuyi."

The old man knocked his cane and said coldly:

"Why did Fang Weihan go to Shaxuyi?"

"Ah."

Wang Boguang smiled faintly.

"Zhongguang, can you tell me?"

After hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at Wang Zhongguang, who was sitting at the end of the table, drinking tea from cup to cup.

Wang Zhongguang clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head and said nothing.

These many sights were like thousands of cold sharp knives, making him feel extreme discomfort and pain.

Among them, one line of sight was the most ruthless and cold.

Wang Zhongguang knew that it was his father Wang Dun's gaze.

"There's nothing that can't be said. Zhong Guang had a conflict with Fang Weihan a few days ago, so he led his men to smash up several shops in Guangling Prince's Mansion and killed someone along the way."

"Fang Weihan had a grudge and decided to take revenge. He happened to have some friendship with the eldest lady of the Lanling Xiao family, so he took Xuan Zhongwei to Shaxuyi, intending to intercept the confidential letters of my Uehara Wang family as a threat. "

Wang Boguang no longer looked at his younger brother who had his head lowered and said nothing. He looked away and said with a half-smile.

After the middle-aged man in Confucian robes pondered for a while, he said in a deep voice:
"The blame for this matter does not lie with Zhong Guang, but with Fang Weihan. Even if Zhong Guang was at fault first, in fact it was me, the Wang family of Uehara, who suffered the greater loss."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone agreed.

How dare a mere vassal king dare to provoke the Uehara Wang family?

Fang Zun must abide by the rules of the game. What can you, a vassal king, do?Is your energy greater than that of the emperor?
With a few words, the middle-aged man successfully transferred everyone's resentment to Fang Weihan.

Wang Boguang glanced at the middle-aged man and nodded gently.

"In addition to Fang Weihan, my Wang family's blood debt also belongs to the Lanling Xiao family."

Wang Boguang said calmly.

"Xuan Zhongwei failed to fight effectively and more than a hundred people lost their lives. This was an unprecedented serious loss. Xiao Fuwei didn't want this matter to be known to the emperor, so he hid the news from the outside world."

"At the same time... he ordered Xuan Zhongwei to kill all the Wang family members who witnessed what happened, burn down the inn, and claim that the Vulcan Cult did all this."

"No reason!"

After hearing the truth told by Wang Boguang, the crowd in the lobby was really angry.

After a long quarrel, it turned out that the clan members were not killed by people from the Vulcan Cult, but were secretly executed by Xuan Zhongwei.

The Uehara Wang family has been standing for more than a thousand years and has never suffered such humiliation!

"Xiao Fuwei and Xuan Zhongwei, they must pay the price!"

The old man roared at the top of his lungs.

"The Lanling Xiao family has really gone too far."

This time the middle-aged man in Confucian robes did not object again, and rarely agreed with his opinion.

The crowd raised their arms and shouted, yelled and cursed endlessly, and their anger was rising.

Wang Boguang looked at the angry crowd around him, stroking the jade pendant around his waist, his face expressionless.

On the jade pendant, the word "王" is shining.
