The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1270

"Doctor, you can still sleep? That's quite a treat." Xu Tian said sarcastically as he sat down on the stool.

Because of the Imperial Censor, he simply couldn't sleep. He absolutely wouldn't leave until everything was resolved today.

"My lord, what are you saying? It's getting late. I think you should go back and rest. You have to attend the morning court tomorrow." Although the Imperial Censor was very scared, he tried his best to hide his panic.

He's betting that Xu Tian hasn't found any evidence at all.

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Tian ordered his men to bring in all the people the Imperial Censor had paid to come, and they all began to beg for mercy.

With the Censor-in-Chief present, they dared not utter a single word.

"You should still remember who they are, right? I don't really want to make things difficult for you right now, I just hope you can tell me the truth." Xu Tian shook his hand, calming down a bit.

Since you've already done it, you might as well just admit it readily.

Therefore, Xu Tian thought he might be able to be a little gentler with the Imperial Censor.

"Who are you? What exactly happened?" Fearing that Xu Tian would attack him, the Imperial Censor dared not admit anything.

Having no other choice, he could only pretend that he didn't know anyone.

Since their loved ones' lives were in his own hands, he figured those people wouldn't dare say anything, and gradually he felt relieved.

"Please forgive us, Your Highness." They dared not mention anything about the Imperial Censor, and only kept begging Xu Tian to forgive them.

Casually fiddling with his fingers, Xu Tian didn't continue looking at Yu Shi Dafu. "You're quite the hypocrite. Since you've already done it, why don't you just tell me openly that you called these people?"

Xu Tian stopped what he was doing, stood up unhurriedly, and strode up to the Imperial Censor: "Imperial Censor, do you think I'm really a fool who doesn't know anything? What a joke."

He had actually investigated many things, but he didn't particularly want to make things so tense, so he didn't say anything.

But the Imperial Censor kept pressuring him to take action.

"My lord, you are really wronging me. I really did nothing wrong. I hope you can investigate Qiu Hao thoroughly." The Imperial Censor became anxious and knelt down on the ground.

He absolutely refused to admit it.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Tian probably doesn't have any evidence.

In any case, as long as he keeps denying it, Xu Tian will eventually have no choice but to leave.

"Do you think you can get away with this because I have no evidence?" Xu Tian could easily understand what the Imperial Censor was up to.

He might not be able to be certain about other things, but he was absolutely certain about this one.

The Imperial Censor didn't say anything; he just kept his head down.

"I'm giving you one more chance now. If you're willing to admit it, I can punish you less severely." Xu Tian wasn't in a good mood.

Do we really have to make everything the worst possible outcome?

If the Imperial Censor really wanted to, Xu Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, the Imperial Censor ultimately chose to deny the allegations.

He really had no other choice.

“My lord, everything requires evidence. Since you have no evidence, you cannot prove that I did everything.” The Imperial Censor kept pressing this matter.

He believed that Xu Tian had no way to refute him.
