The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1035

Xu Tian believed that the truth would eventually come out, and no matter what those people did, even if they destroyed all the evidence, he would definitely be able to find evidence to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Li Yuan believed himself to be exceptionally intelligent.

He never imagined that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"He'll be dealt with by me sooner or later, it's just a matter of time."

As he said this, Xu Tian let out a soft sigh.

He absolutely could not let Li Yuan continue to act recklessly like this.

Although they were frustrated by the lack of any evidence.

However, Xu Tianyue was not discouraged.

He went back into the dungeon to interrogate Xiao Quanzi.

“You should know what that person wants now. You’ve silenced him. If you still refuse to tell us, even we might not be able to save your life.”

“I know you’re not afraid of death at all, but it’s not worth dying for someone who doesn’t care about you at all.”

Xu Tian sat in front, using both threats and inducements.

Xiao Quanzi remained completely unmoved, not even a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.

It's clear that he has no intention of revealing the real mastermind behind it all.

Xu Tian felt that he hadn't used the criminal law effectively enough, which was why these guys were so emboldened.

After Xu Tian spoke again, Xiao Quanzi took a look at the torture instruments used yesterday.

A hint of panic finally appeared on his face, but when he opened his mouth, he was spouting nonsense.

He stated frankly, "It was the Grand Chancellor who instigated this. This matter has nothing to do with me. I hope Your Highness can investigate and spare my life."

Xu Tian snorted coldly in his heart. This guy wasn't telling the truth at all, and he actually wanted him to spare his life.

But since this guy has already named someone, then he might as well deal with that person.

This Grand Secretary must not be a good person either.

Anyway, all the thorns they'd wanted to remove for a long time have now been exposed one by one.

They also advised against removing the thorns first.

Anyway, we'll have to deal with Li Yuan and his group sooner or later, so there's no rush.

When Emperor Li Zhi sent a message to Chen Gao, the Grand Secretary, Chen Gao was stunned for a moment upon hearing the news.

He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do with this late-night summons.

Things have been quite turbulent in the palace lately.

They were all on tenterhooks.

I was afraid that I would get involved.

But unexpectedly, despite his efforts to hide, he still got implicated.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go to the palace.

At worst, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up.

He would simply answer whatever the emperor said. He refused to believe that he, with his intelligence and wit, could possibly make any mistakes.

While he was thinking he was being clever, two people in the palace were also discussing the same matter.

"Although this Grand Secretary is no good either, this matter is ultimately a miscarriage of justice. Therefore, our only task now is to get Xiao Quanzi to reveal the real culprit."

Xu Tian's face was full of righteous indignation.

Li Zhi was also well aware that this matter absolutely could not be dealt with perfunctorily.

The Grand Secretary knelt in the Imperial Study. When he learned what had happened, he cried out that he was innocent.

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. I truly have not done such a thing. Heaven can see my loyalty."

Upon hearing his words, Xu Tian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
