The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 128

The night wind was much colder, but he remained unfazed.

The guest room faces a pond, but it's so dark today that you can't see anything in the pond.

He heard it now. An aged voice rang out from the darkness, especially clear in the silent night.

He paused for a moment, then immediately recognized the voice as that of the prefect.

Xu Tian recalled the prefect's anxious expression that evening and felt a little curious, but he never liked eavesdropping and was about to return to his room when he heard the prefect say, "Sima Liang is getting bolder and bolder these days, daring to visit the imperial tombs of the former dynasty!"

"What can we do now? The Emperor has sent men, and I was discovered by Grand Tutor Xu and his men. Our Jinzhou..."

"Don't worry so much, there must still be some solutions."

“Now that cultivated field has been turned upside down by that kid, you should go and clean it up again tonight.”

"it is good."

......

Upon hearing these words, Xu Tian frowned even more deeply.

Stealing from imperial tombs was a serious crime in the Tang Dynasty, punishable by beheading one person at best, and extermination of nine generations of their family at worst.

This prefect is far too audacious, actually trying to cover it up.

Hearing that the field hadn't been planted with any crops, and that the imperial tomb had been thoroughly ransacked by thieves, Xu Tian decided to go and see for himself what had happened.

So after the footsteps gradually faded away, Xu Tian quickly followed, and the other light footsteps were clearly those of a young man.

After following for a while, he saw the young man.

The young man quickly walked towards the remote outskirts of the city, and Xu Tian followed closely behind. However, the night was too dark, and the young man was dressed in black. As Xu Tian followed, he could no longer find where the young man was cultivating the fields. He didn't know where it was either, and could only search aimlessly.

Xu Tian raised his eyebrows. He had no other choice but to hurry and search.

As he searched and searched, the sky grew darker and darker, but Xu Tian still couldn't find it. Then he saw a light and walked towards it, and the light became clearer and clearer. After Xu Tian saw it clearly, he saw a person holding a torch, searching for something on the ground with a shovel, and all around the person were chests and chests of gold and silver jewelry.

Xu Tian stood there watching intently. He saw that the man was exhausted and lay on the ground. He rolled over, revealing the waist tag on his waist, on which was clearly engraved a single character: Si.

Unexpectedly, he only came out to look for someone and ended up meeting Sima Liang, the tomb robber mentioned by the prefect.

Just then, the leaves on the ground began to rustle again. Xu Tianxin sensed something was wrong and felt a cold sensation slowly rising from her legs.

He immediately reached out and yanked the snake off his leg, but the commotion caught Sima Liang's attention. Sima Liang immediately turned his head, his eyes fixed on Xu Tian's direction.

"Who is it? Show yourself! Don't force me to take action!"

Seeing that he had been discovered, Xu Tian had no choice but to walk out, carrying a large snake in his hand.

He threw the snake on the ground and precisely stepped on its seven-inch mark. Soon, the large snake was on the verge of death in his hand.

Seeing his decisiveness, Sima Liang took a small step back and asked, "Who are you?"
