The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1041

At this moment, Xu Tian stepped forward.

He said directly, "General Wu, you deliberately used His Majesty's will to harm the Minister of the Ministry of Death and his family, and even shifted all the blame onto His Majesty. This is simply slander and arbitrary!"

Wu and the others were immediately speechless.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan's men in the imperial court all began to use various reasons to try to protect Wu and others.

Li Zhi directly ordered, "There is indeed something fishy about this matter, Your Highness, I entrust this matter to you for a full investigation."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the eunuch to adjourn the court session.

This matter caused quite a stir.

At least the wife of the Minister of Justice found out about them.

The wife of the Minister of Justice arrived soon after and knelt down in front of Xu Tian as soon as she entered.

"Your Highness, you must do me justice!"

Xu Tian could only order someone to help her up, and then ask her, "What exactly happened? Tell me slowly."

The wife of the Minister of Justice went directly to Xu Tian and cried.

"In fact, our master and General Wu have been at odds for many years."

"The conflict between the master and Wu and others was only over some trivial matters."

She frowned at this point, seemingly unable to continue.

Xu Tian urged her to continue.

The woman continued:

"It was all because of a woman. They had a huge conflict, just that one time. They even came to the point of fighting."

"Everyone knows that General Wu and my master have a history of conflict."

"We beg Your Highness to uphold justice for our master and bring Wu and the others to justice."

The woman became increasingly angry as she spoke.

Xu Tian just listened quietly.

He then made a promise to the wife of the Minister of Justice.

"Madam, please rest assured. I will handle this matter impartially and will certainly give your Minister justice."

The next day.

Xu Tian then led a large number of imperial troops to completely surround the Wu family's courtyard.

Wu and the others were terrified when they received this news.

He ran straight outside, pretending to be calm.

"Your Highness, what exactly are you doing?"

He had already explained what had happened before.

They also believe that this matter will definitely be investigated and the truth will come to light.

But to his surprise, Xu Tian actually surrounded his courtyard.

The intentions behind this are already quite obvious.

Xu Tian is trying to arrest him.

Wu and the others still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Xu Tian's face was cold and solemn.

"Wu, you harmed the entire Shangshu family for your own selfish gain. Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable. Now, I hereby formally approve your arrest. You may remain silent or appeal."

Xu Tian looked at Wu and the others in front of him with utter contempt.

"But all of this is already proven, and you have no chance of turning things around."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Wu and others immediately collapsed to the ground.

Xu Tian didn't give him any chance and took him away directly.

Not only that, he also directly accused Wu and others of "deliberate revenge" and imprisoned them.

Wu and the others cried out that they were wronged, but no one listened to them.
