The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 486

"My lord, your visit today is truly an honor to our humble abode."

The county magistrate, with a fawning expression, greeted him with clasped hands and a bow.

He knew exactly why Xu Tian had come, but since he couldn't solve the problem, Xu Tian could solve it himself.

That way, he won't offend either side.

He didn't mince words with Xu Tian and got straight to the point.

"I wonder, what about the matter of the lost silver from this prefecture a couple of days ago? How is it going?"

He sat down in the chair, picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, but didn't drink it.

The magistrate looked troubled. "This, sir, this matter is indeed quite difficult."

Xu Tian sneered inwardly.

This is not a difficult matter at all; it is clearly something that the county magistrate cannot handle on his own.

He remained calm and pretended not to know anything about it.

However, he has no intention of letting the matter rest.

The magistrate opened his mouth, but said nothing.

After a long silence, he looked at Xu Tian.

I feel that this matter cannot be left unresolved.

However, if he were to deal with it, he would offend even more people.

"My lord, please tell me what's so difficult about this matter? Is it really that we can't deal with a thief even under the Emperor's nose?"

Xu Tian's cold voice rang out, giving the county magistrate absolutely no chance.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the county magistrate realized that he couldn't just give a perfunctory answer.

However, he said, "My subordinates have already ordered an investigation, but there has really been no progress on this matter."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Xu Tian's expression change.

The magistrate dared not offend Xu Tian, ​​so he quickly changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to search and give you an explanation."

Xu Tian remained expressionless, but inwardly he scoffed!

"Since the magistrate has said so, there's no point in me continuing to ask questions here. I hope the magistrate will not forget what he said today and will investigate this matter thoroughly."

But we can give him a satisfactory answer.

At present, the county magistrate dares not offend the general, but he also dares not offend him.

As soon as Xu Tian left the yamen, he realized that someone was following him.

When he came out, he only had Songren with him.

Sensing they were being followed, they deliberately turned into an alley.

"Sir, please go first!"

Songren knew that these people's goal was Xu Tian, ​​and that once Xu Tian left, they would be powerless to do anything about him.

With his superior martial arts skills, he was confident he could easily capture the person who was following them.

Xu Tian didn't intend to leave, but said, "There's no need. Just get that person up."

Since he took office, many things have happened. And all of these things are related to the general.

With a flash, Song Ren soared into the air and landed in front of the person who had been following them.

The man was startled when he saw the pine nuts.

But he didn't give him a chance to escape, and grabbed the man by the throat.

"You'd better not move, or I can't guarantee I'll spare your life."

Song Ren's cold voice rang out.

He gave the man no chance to escape, and strangled him tightly.

Song Ren dragged the man directly to Xu Tian's side. "Sir, the man has been caught."

In his hand was a thin man who looked like he weighed very little.

But the man didn't seem to have any intention of admitting guilt.

"Who are you people? Why are you arresting me for no reason?" He was still hoping for a chance to escape.

Xu Tian snorted coldly, "Tell me, who sent you?"

The man wasn't about to admit it so easily. He coldly replied, "I was just passing through. Who could have sent me?"
