The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 422

Those men who came in aggressively were all carrying weapons; they were clearly not to be trifled with.

"Go find someone to come over, and avoid any conflict for now," Xu Tian calmly ordered.

In his eyes, these were all a bunch of guys who were just asking for trouble. He was already furious about the Minister of Works, and since these people were coming to him, he wouldn't hesitate to show no mercy.

"Yes."

Qin Xian and Xu Tian were people with special status on the construction site. After Qin Xian called out, many people picked up their weapons and came to Xu Tian's side.

"Are you Xu Tian?" The leader of the gang of thugs asked, pointing a large machete at Xu Tian at the door.

"What's the matter?" Xu Tian glanced at the other person, somewhat displeased.

"It's good that you're here. You dare to offend our boss? You'll regret it." The leader was pleased that Xu Tian admitted it. "Go get him! Smash these buildings and make sure this guy never recovers."

“Foolish.” Xu Tian did not stop him, and slowly uttered the two words.

“The emperor’s decree is hard to disobey. You bunch of brutes are being used as pawns without even realizing it. Let me tell you, if you destroy this school today, the extermination of your entire family tomorrow will fall on your own.”

Xu Tian's indifferent statement.

"Don't listen to him, all of you, charge!" The leader was intimidated by Xu Tian's words, but quickly realized what he meant and ordered the men behind him to rush forward.

"Beat them!" Qin Xian ordered. The workers, not to be outdone, clashed with the thugs, their weapons falling on them and making them howl in pain.

"Big brother, we were wrong! Please stop! We won't do it again!"

"Please stop! People will die!"

......

The group of thugs couldn't even last three minutes against the workers before they started howling and screaming.

"What happened?" Fearing that the person he had hired would expose him, the Minister of Works made a special trip to the construction site.

"Who sent you here to cause trouble?"

Xu Tian did not notice the appearance of the Minister of Works. He walked up to the hooligan with a gloomy face and questioned him.

"this......"

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​I'll help you interrogate these hooligans. They're clearly not to be trifled with. I'll help you." Before the hooligans could answer, the Minister of Works interrupted them. He strode up to the hooligans, put his hands on his hips, and looked like he was upholding justice.

"You bunch of bastards, hand over what's behind this right now, or I'll kill you all today!"

The Minister of Works claimed to be helping, but in reality, he was threatening others. The leader of the thugs recognized the Minister of Works' identity and trembled with fear.

The person behind it confessed without being asked, but Xu Tian didn't intend to expose them. Instead, he smiled and thanked them.

"Your Excellency is truly kind. I have other matters to attend to regarding the school's construction, so I won't waste any more time on these people. Please, I would appreciate it if you could help me find out who is behind all this."

"No problem, Xu Tian, ​​don't worry. I'm quite skilled at interrogation. Once they hand over the person behind it all, I won't let them off easily." Although the Minister of Works said this, cold sweat kept pouring down his face. He was terrified of being exposed.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Tian played along with the other party's act. "Hey, Minister, you are such a good person. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know what to do in these situations."

"I feel a little embarrassed to trouble you so often." As he spoke, Xu Tian scratched his head sheepishly. "How about this, Minister, come to my residence tonight, and I'll treat you to drinks."

"hehe--"

The Minister of Works did not readily agree; his stiff smile betrayed him.

"Your Excellency, please don't refuse. Lord Li Er will also be coming tonight. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so let's all have a good get-together."

As soon as Xu Tian said this, the Minister of Works had no reason to refuse.
