The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 435

The Minister of Works, on the other hand, is truly hateful. He dares to do things but not to take responsibility, and his heart is extremely vicious.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Works' men searched the entire city but could not find Xu Tian.

"Snapped!"

"You're all a bunch of useless trash. You can't even complete a small task. What use are you to me?"

The Minister of Works waved his hand and slapped the subordinate who was reporting across the face. He said, "Xu Tian has disappeared, but his men are still here, aren't they? Can't you use your brains to interrogate Qin Xian?"

"Please calm down, Your Excellency." Having been beaten, the servant dared not complain; on the contrary, he needed to appease the Minister of Works' anger.

“We went to find Xu Tian’s confidants as soon as possible, but they all refused to say anything. There were too many people on the construction site, and we dared not take them away openly.”

Even servants fear losing their lives. Taking money to do things is already his bottom line. He would never risk his life for something trivial.

"What a useless piece of trash!" The Minister of Works was furious. He knew very well what would happen to him if he didn't have Xu Tian's fate, and he knew even better what would happen to him if reinforcements from the capital came.

Originally, his wife and children, who had more than 10,000 yuan, were in their hands. With this trump card, he could have the scapegoat firmly under his control. Now that the truth has been exposed, he can no longer find Xu Tian, ​​and he is the only one left to turn around!

"Hurry up and use all available manpower and resources to find Xu Tian within a day, or all of you will come to me with your heads!" The Minister of Works ordered through gritted teeth. "Now get out of here!"

The Minister of Works grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it towards the door. The servants were startled and immediately got up and rushed out, fleeing without looking back.

"Madman, what a madman!"

The servant's name was Zhang Yao, one of the Minister of Works's reconnaissance guards. He was usually responsible for collecting information from the people and handling some follow-up work for the Minister of Works.

Xu Tian's incident happened too suddenly, and no one was prepared. As the leader of the reconnaissance guards, Zhang Yao was under tremendous pressure and had to bear the wrath of the Minister of Works. He was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"Boss, are you alright?" The person who entered the mansion with Zhang Yao was another reconnaissance guard, Zhou Zui.

He is Zhang Yao's long-term partner, with a strong talent for observation, and has achieved a lot in every mission.

"It's nothing, I'm in great shape, what could possibly happen to me?" Zhang Yao rolled his eyes after hearing Zhou Zui's words and complained, "But that Minister of Works, he really seems to have some serious illness, attacking me. If it weren't for the fact that he's my superior, I would have killed him long ago."

"Boss, keep your voice down. We all know he's not a good person, so don't get involved."

Seeing Zhang Yao make a throat-slitting gesture, Zhou Zui sighed.

Having followed Zhang Yao for so long, how could he not know the hardships his boss had endured?

"Him? Zhou Zui, let me tell you, if it weren't for the people behind him, I would have left long ago. Who would want to work for him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yao's lips curled into a cold smile.

"What did you say?"

Just as the two were talking, a familiar voice rang out from behind them.

"Minister Zhou?" Zhou Zui saw this, his face darkened, and his voice trembled.

How lucky they are to run into the Minister of Works in the corridor!

"I'm asking you, what were you talking about just now?" The Minister of Works strode up to the two men and questioned them coldly.

"You're like a madman!" Zhang Yao, seeing that he had been caught, simply tore off the mask of civility. This time, he didn't care whether he could stand up to the Minister of Works. After angrily retorting this sentence, he turned around and left the Minister of Works' residence.

In any case, he was just a reconnaissance guard. He wasn't important to the operation of the Minister of Works' residence. Even if the Minister of Works was lost, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone with the same abilities; it was just a matter of time.
