The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 134

Xu Tian then collected all the treasures and handed them to the guards, saying, "Give these things to the Emperor as evidence. When will the Emperor's men arrive?"

"I don't know."

"Then quickly hand these things over to the Emperor," Xu Tian said.

After receiving the order, the guards took all the items away and hurried into Chang'an, displaying them one by one before Li Er.

Li Er coldly observed the items in the imperial tombs, among which he was extremely familiar with the ceremonial crowns.

These are all items from the imperial tomb.

"What happened? Was this the work of that corrupt official?" Li Er asked in a deep, cold voice.

The guard nodded. "Your Majesty, these items were indeed seized from that corrupt official. Grand Tutor Xu also personally witnessed him excavating the imperial tombs."

Li Er's expression remained unchanged, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.

"Send men to arrest this corrupt official and bring him in for interrogation!" he said coldly.

"Yes!"

After the guards finished speaking, Li Er sent several men with him to arrest Sima Liang.

Sima Liang is still completely unaware of this.

When he woke up, he was tightly bound, and when he tried to speak, his mouth was completely blocked by a large steamed bun.

He cried out "Ugh, ugh" and struggled incessantly, but he looked just like a long maggot writhing on the ground.

Xu Tian stood to the side, eating and drinking tea, showing no sign of paying any attention to him.

At this moment, Sima Liang stared intently at him, muttering something under his breath, seemingly cursing, "Xu Tian, ​​you are a despicable scoundrel!"

Xu Tian looked at his gaze without saying a word, and continued to eat silently.

Sima Liang's stomach started rumbling.

After a long while, many footsteps came from outside the door, and Sima Liang and the others looked terrified.

The people in the post station were also seeing such a grand spectacle for the first time, and they were all astonished and rushed out to see what was going on.

Xu Tian waited quietly. The door opened with a "bang," and the guards sent by the emperor and the government officials arrived.

Suddenly, the room was filled with people, and the spacious room became somewhat crowded.

They stepped forward, bowed to Xu Tian, ​​and greeted him, saying, "Grand Tutor Xu."

Xu Tian nodded.

Sima Liang's expression changed drastically when he heard them address Xu Tian as "Grand Tutor Xu".

No matter how cautious he was, he never expected that this person was Grand Tutor Xu who had come to Jinzhou!

He stared at Xu Tian as if he wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Xu Tian ignored him and just watched as everyone took Sima Liang and the others away.

Now, Sima Liang not only loses his official position, but may also be beheaded.

Even as he was dragged out, he glared resentfully at Xu Tian, ​​as if he would haunt him even as a ghost.

The people in the post station were now filled with a sense of bewilderment: "What's going on?"

They were talking amongst themselves, and a lot of of it was nonsense.

The prefect arrived, dragging his trembling body.

He bowed slightly to Xu Tian and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grand Tutor."
