The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 441

Based on his many years of experience as the Minister of Works in officialdom, Xu Tian would not gain any advantage from him this time.

Therefore, the Minister of Works replied to Xu Tian and agreed to make the transaction on a street near the residence.

Xu Tian, ​​who had already backed up the evidence of the Minister of Works' crimes, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Minister's reply. He gathered some genuine evidence and mixed in some self-made documents to make the fakes indistinguishable from the real ones.

Since the Minister of Works did not specify a time, Xu Tian assumed that the other party would arrive at noon. The alley was not far away, and the Minister of Works did not want to attract attention, so he only brought a few important servants with him.

The next day, both teams arrived on time. Fearing that Zhang Yao would be implicated and exposed, Xu Tian hired several people from the escort agency to follow him. However, because the escort agency had been too busy lately, only one person followed him in the end, and that person was relatively weak.

Having no other choice, Xu Tian still hired this person from the escort agency, hoping that the other party could escape with the money first and not hold him back.

"Did you bring the stuff?"

The Minister of Works and his men arrived at noon, and he was followed by several unfamiliar servants.

"Where is the person I want?"

Having been treated as the host first, Xu Tian sighed inwardly and then asked with renewed vigor.

"Bring it up."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wan Jin was brought over by a burly servant, with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

"Wuwu—" Wan Jin was very excited when she saw Xu Tian and wanted him to save her. She desperately tried to escape from the people who were holding her and moved closer to Xu Tian.

Upon receiving Wan Jin, Xu Tian did not rush to hand over the evidence to the Minister of Works' men. He said, "With so many of you, it's not worth it for us to have only two people."

"Then what do you want to do?"

After glancing at the documents in Xu Tian's arms, the Minister of Works narrowed his eyes and asked with some dissatisfaction.

They broke their promise!

Pooh!

villain!

The Minister of Works silently condemned Xu Tian's behavior in his heart.

“It’s very simple. Let us go first. You can send someone with you, or you can follow us yourself. Once we reach the corner, you can leave with the evidence.”

Xu Tian was worried that Wan Jin, who had been imprisoned for many days, was already exhausted and that carrying him would definitely slow them down.

"to make."

After some thought, the Minister of Works did not think Xu Tian's request was excessive.

Conversely, if he were Xu Tian, ​​he would have simply taken the evidence and run away; who would let him stay here?

"Okay! One of you can follow behind us now, but keep the distance as you are now."

Xu Tian estimated that they were about ten meters away from the Minister of Works' men. If the other party followed them closely, they would be easily restrained.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant of the Minister of Works stepped forward. He and the Minister of Works exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Xu Tian squinted; he had a feeling there was something fishy going on between the two.

The Minister of Works kept his word. After obtaining the evidence, he did not pursue Xu Tian and his group. Instead, after they left his territory, he smiled and ordered, "Cut them out completely!"

"Yes!"

The men who came out with the Minister of Works were not just ordinary servants; they were all assassins from the martial arts world, forming their own faction. He had gone to great lengths to kill Xu Tian and Wan Yuan's wife.

At a command, the men removed their disguises and rushed out, their silver scimitars gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

"Run!"

Sensing a murderous intent, Xu Tian turned around and shouted, only to bump into the servant who was following them.

"roll!"
