The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 482

I think this method is excellent.

It allows me to vent my anger and also recoup some of the costs.

Why not?

So he readily agreed to the strategist's plan.

"Master, this method is good. Go and do it! But remember to make sure it's done flawlessly."

He now knew that Xu Tian was an extremely cunning person, so he naturally had to be careful in everything he did.

Although the method mentioned by the deputy general was good, it was simply too slow.

The strategist's method was extremely shortcut.

All he needs to do is set off at any time to steal things from Xu Tian's house.

Moreover, those were all gifts from the Emperor, so even if they were stolen, Xu Tian wouldn't dare to publicize it openly.

After nightfall, the strategist dispatched several elite guards from the general's mansion.

They infiltrated Xu Tian's residence directly.

They stole 100 taels of gold from Xu Tian's warehouse and also took several other items that looked quite valuable.

When the guards retrieved these items, the general was overjoyed!

"Hmph! Xu Tian, ​​I'd like to see how you're going to get out of this mess."

He said it coldly.

He then ordered his guards to hide all of these things.

He wanted to see Xu Tian get anxious.

Many things have happened in Xu Tian's residence these past few days.

However, all of these things are related to the Great General.

Because of the incident of breaking the blood coral, Xu Tian knew that the general must hate him to the core.

He will definitely not let this go and will come looking for trouble again.

He summoned his guards.

"These days you must guard the courtyard well and not let any strangers into my Xu residence."

As soon as he said this, the guard immediately said, "The steward just came to report that several people came to apply for the position of guard today, but the boss found an excuse to send them all away."

The guard had just finished speaking.

Then they heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Before Xu Tian could speak, someone outside shouted, "My lord, something terrible has happened! The mansion has been robbed!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian was instantly stunned.

This is another case of a stranger coming in to apply for a guard position, and yet another case of being robbed.

Could anything else happen in his residence?

Without hesitation, he followed the butler directly to the storeroom.

On the way, he asked the butler.

"What exactly happened? Wasn't the warehouse always guarded?"

That's all his belongings.

If the contents inside are stolen, then he, and indeed everyone in his household, will go hungry.

These days, who would want to follow an official who has no money?

Maybe when they heard they were out of money, everyone ran away.

The steward said, "The guard had diarrhea for a while because he ate something, which delayed him. When he came back, he found the storeroom door wide open, which is why he came to find me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian understood.

The thief came prepared.

Moreover, this person knew his residence very well.

He couldn't figure out who could have done these things to him.

Except for the general who had just had a falling out with him.

Xu Tian did not hesitate and immediately ordered his steward to report to the authorities.

The butler was taken aback.

Why didn't he think of that before?

He quickly ordered his servants, "Go to the yamen immediately and have the yamen officials come here."
