The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1038

As he said this, he picked up the broadsword of the guard next to him and pointed it at a certain part of Xiao Quanzi's body.

Xiao Quanzi panicked instantly.

You see, he didn't want to be a eunuch.

He would rather die than live like that.

After being threatened, he finally revealed who was behind him.

"It is Wu Deng, a general under Li Yuan, General Wu."

Upon hearing Xiao Quanzi's confession, Xu Tian finally smiled, returned the large knife to the guard beside him, and then told the guard to put his pants back on.

Xu Tian entered the imperial study and told Li Zhi about the matter.

Li Zhi slammed his hand on the table, surprised that it was actually Li Yuan who had done it.

However, he suddenly thought, "Wu and others will be celebrating their birthdays soon, and we can't disturb this old fox right now. Besides, it's very likely that Li Yuan will try to shirk responsibility for this matter."

Both he and Xu Tian believed that Li Yuan would never easily admit to this.

Therefore, they could not alert the enemy by making any moves, so Li Zhi directly ordered someone to send gifts to them.

This will also serve as a warning to Wu and others.

We finally know who the murderer is.

This series of misidentifications has led to this situation.

Li Zhi sighed softly.

He's now in this imperial city, completely surrounded by enemies.

It seemed as if, in an instant, everyone wanted him dead.

Xu Tian was also worried about Li Zhi.

The Imperial Guards who stood guard around him were all personally selected by Xu Tian.

This was to prevent the emergence of any traitors or the like.

Xu Tian withdrew directly from the imperial city and returned to his own palace.

After several busy days, we finally managed to get the real mastermind out of that guy.

That little eunuch was really stubborn.

After entering the study, he slowly sat down.

He felt completely exhausted, but he didn't have time to sleep yet.

Because this matter is not truly over yet.

The real culprit behind the spread of the epidemic has not yet been caught.

They suspected Li Yuan.

However, they were hampered by the lack of any evidence.

Even now, they know from the eunuchs that Wu and others were the masterminds behind it all.

However, they all knew that Li Yuan was very cunning and would never confess because of this.

He might just wipe all his sins clean.

Xu Tian believed that they needed to come up with the best solution.

They just wanted to pry the real reason for this matter out of Wu and the others.

Songren stood to the side, grinding ink as he asked, "Your Highness, what is the solution to this matter?"

They now know who the real mastermind is.

Even Songren didn't believe that Wu and others had done this themselves.

"He certainly couldn't have only dared to do this one thing; there must be a real mastermind behind it all."

Xu Tian nodded.

"You think I don't know about this? We just don't have any evidence. Are you suggesting we send someone to assassinate him?"

Although he felt the latter was a very feasible thing.

However, if this were to actually be done, it would certainly attract the attention of everyone.

His own assassination attempt had already attracted everyone's attention.

Even everyone's attention turned to Li Zhi, who believed that he was the one who did it.
