The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 434

"Damn it! Who did this?"

"It's Xu Tian!"

The servants dared not conceal anything and told the Minister of Works directly what they had seen and heard.

"Xu Tian!"

"You've ruined my plans again!"

The Minister of Works was furious. He glared at the servant who had reported to him and ordered, "Have Yu Long and his men take action. They must deal with Xu Tian for me, or else they'll be beheaded!"

The people known as the Dragon Tamers were a team of assassins that the Minister of Works purchased from the black market at great expense. Since he came to power, whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't solve, this team would step in and they had never failed. But this time, the target was Xu Tian, ​​and the Minister of Works only sent them out when he had no other choice.

If he were to reunite his wife and children, who cost him over ten thousand yuan, the consequences would be unbearable.

The people of Yulong acted immediately upon receiving the news, splitting into two groups to pursue Xu Tian.

Because the matter involved serious issues, Xu Tian handed over everything at the construction site to Qin Xian and his own people to handle early on, while he went into hiding with his wife and children, who had more than 10,000 yuan.

After leaving the Minister's residence, they found the nearest teahouse, and then Xu Tian sent a message to Li Er via carrier pigeon.

In the letter, he told the other party about the Minister of Works' crimes and the other party's search for a scapegoat. Because the letter was short, Xu Tian's last sentence was simply asking the other party to send someone to protect him.

Li Er Mansion

After Xi Jian was handed over to Xu Tian, ​​Li Er's burden was lightened considerably. Apart from completing his regular work, he had nothing else to do except play with the birds for the time being.

"My lord, someone has sent you a message by carrier pigeon."

"Let me see."

Upon receiving the letter from the servant, Li Er's expression shifted from sunny to stormy. "Summon Cheng Yaojin for me!"

The capital city is far from Xijian's location, and it would definitely be a lot of trouble for him to get involved in this matter. But Xu Tian is a talented person, and he doesn't want to give up. Moreover, Xu Tian has done a very good job in this matter, and he must support him.

Cheng Yaojin quickly responded, and Li Er arranged for him to take people to Xijian to support Xu Tian.

"This matter involves many aspects, so you must be extra careful when you go and protect Xu Tian," Li Er said.

"Your humble servant obeys." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Li Er was able to establish himself in the capital not only because he had a group of capable subordinates, but also because he himself was quite powerful. For example, Cheng Yaojin was known throughout the capital for his impartiality and incorruptibility. Apart from the emperor's orders, it was almost impossible for anyone else to command him. It can be said that Cheng Yaojin was an extremely loyal person.

Li Er could finally breathe a sigh of relief by entrusting this matter to Cheng Yaojin.

"Xu Tian, ​​you absolutely cannot get hurt."

After seeing Cheng Yaojin off, Li Er murmured.

He knew how rare it was to have such a capable assistant as Xu Tian, ​​so he didn't want him to die young.

Meanwhile, to avoid putting himself and his wife and children, who had tens of thousands of yuan in danger, Xu Tian, ​​believing that the most dangerous place was the safest place, actually sneaked into another residence of the Minister of Works overnight.

"Sir, who are you?"

After seeing that the other party had been fleeing for their lives since taking her away, Zhang couldn't help but ask questions now that things were settled.

"Xu Tian".

Xu Tian glanced at Wan Jin and Zhang Shi, a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you before bringing you here without my permission."

“However…” Xu Tian paused, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

"Sir, please speak frankly. I understand you."

Zhang was not lying. After her husband spent more than 10,000 yuan on the construction site, he repeatedly praised Xu Tian's advanced approach to building the school and said that he would learn from Xu Tian.

However, what the family never expected was that one day, a job that paid more than 10,000 yuan would bring them utter ruin.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Xu Tian said. "I've already made arrangements for your husband, so you don't need to worry about him."

"As for you, I am truly sorry. Once Lord Li's people arrive to provide support, I will make him compensate me with more than ten thousand yuan. I am really sorry to have dragged you into my affairs with the Minister of Works."

Xu Tian's words came from the bottom of his heart; in his view, Wan Yuanduo was an innocent person.
