The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1039

Wu and others received a large box of precious gifts from Li Zhi.

However, because he had done something wrong, he was worried that Li Zhi would put drugs in his food.

They didn't even dare to touch it.

After the birthday celebration ended, he summoned his trusted subordinates.

"Are you saying that this stuff is poisonous?"

Their confidants also knew everything they had done before.

It is obvious what Wu and the others are worried about.

They made random guesses, one after another.

This made Wu and the others even more hesitant to open those items.

He immediately ordered the guards in his residence to go out and fetch a doctor.

"As long as these things are verified to be non-toxic, that's fine."

He was constantly on edge.

On the one hand, they believed that if these things were truly poisonous, then Li Zhi was pointing all the finger at them.

The doctor came to examine them, and the results made Wu and others very happy.

The doctor said frankly, "Sir, there is nothing wrong with any of these items."

After the doctor left, Wu nodded directly to his confidant, who immediately understood what to do and followed the doctor out.

Wu's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Xu Tian, ​​so what if you are exceptionally intelligent?"

When his trusted confidant returned, Wu and others immediately instructed him to transfer all his possessions to the Minister of Justice.

Then, he whispered a few instructions to his confidant.

The confidant nodded and then withdrew.

The next day, morning.

Xu Tian felt very displeased when he saw Wu and others because of the eunuch's confession, but he had to keep a straight face.

Originally, this was done by these few people.

But to my surprise, they were able to act as if nothing had happened.

It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink.

There was absolutely no psychological burden.

Xu Tiandu doubted whether this guy could actually sleep at night.

The morning court session had just begun, less than a quarter of an hour ago.

Suddenly, an Imperial Guard entered from outside.

"Why?"

Li Zhi frowned slightly.

The commander of the Imperial Guards before him had a furrowed brow, indicating that something urgent must be at hand.

The commander of the Imperial Guards knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, a terrible news has suddenly come from the home of the Minister of Justice: all twenty-odd members of his family, young and old, have died suddenly from food poisoning."

Upon hearing this news, both Man Chaowen and Wu were shocked.

They never expected such terrible news!

Li Zhi immediately ordered Xu Tian to lead a large force to investigate.

Because this matter pertains to the Ministry of Justice.

At the very least, it should be handled by the Dali Temple.

However, Li Zhi directly sent Xu Tian to go.

Everyone felt a deep sense of doubt.

They seemed to sense that something was amiss.

Xu Tian arrived at the home of the Minister of Justice.

The Minister's wife knelt in the mourning hall, while all the corpses were laid out in the courtyard.

They didn't even give us a white cloth.

Xu Tian summoned the Minister's wife directly.

Those who are alive are the ones who suffer the most.

At this moment, the Minister's wife must have been the one suffering the most!

In a short time, they lost all their loved ones.

She remained expressionless, kneeling silently.

It was as if nothing in the outside world could arouse her interest anymore.

Even if someone doesn't go to call her, she will only respond weakly after a long while.
