The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 487

Xu Tian glanced at the man who had been following them and sneered inwardly.

Looks like this guy's got a tough tongue.

He immediately ordered Songren to arrest the man and take him back.

Song Ren accepted the order and then had the man arrested and taken directly to his residence.

"Sir, what should we do?"

They have already taken the man to Xu Tian's study.

Xu Tian sat in the chair, looking at the man in front of him with icy eyes.

"It's not too late to say it now, but if we wait a while, I can't guarantee that you'll be alive."

He didn't have much patience, because he had to investigate this matter thoroughly, no matter what.

Otherwise, he himself would be a threat.

Whoever did it, it threatened his own life.

With a wave of his hand, Song Ren grabbed the man's hand behind his back.

The man let out a scream, "Ah!"

Xu Tian said directly, "If you confess honestly, you can avoid some physical pain."

But no matter what he said, the man just wouldn't admit it.

Even if you kill me, I'll only say that one thing.

"I was really just passing by and didn't know I would meet you, sirs. I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I really don't know what you're talking about."

He still maintained his initial stance, refusing to admit that he was the one following them.

Because of this, Xu Tian and the others had no choice.

Song Ren looked at Xu Tian.

"Sir, what should we do?"

If he continues to refuse to admit it, they really have no way to deal with it.

Xu Tian gave a cold laugh.

"I don't believe he can keep quiet forever."

After saying that, he immediately ordered, "Lock him up and starve him for a day and a night. I don't believe he'll still have the strength."

After saying that, Songren took the person directly to the woodshed.

Pine nuts are back.

"Sir, will this method really work?"

Xu Tian nodded. This person was not a suicide squad member at all, so there was naturally a way to deal with him.

Only the suicide squads are truly formidable; no matter what, those people simply cannot defeat them.

But these people are different; they are either hired by others or they did it because their families were threatened.

No matter which one it is, he will eventually find a way to deal with it.

The following day, Xu Tian continued to do his job as usual.

They didn't even bother to ask how that person was doing.

Songren had been guarding the woodshed, and when he saw Xu Tian arrive, he quickly went to greet him.

"grown ups."

"Hmm! How was your day?"

"I've been hungry all day and don't look very strong, but I'm just unwilling to admit it."

It was clear how stubborn this guy was. Xu Tian didn't even glance at him and headed straight for the study.

That evening, Songren arrived. "Sir, that person has already fainted from hunger once."

It seems this person hadn't eaten anything before, which is why he was so hungry that he fainted from hunger after a day and a night.

Xu Tian gave the order directly.

“Bring him to the study.”

Songren obeyed the order, and in no time he brought the person directly to the study.

The man was so hungry that he was in a daze.

Even when walking, he was unsteady on his feet, as if he couldn't walk anymore.

When he reached the center of the study, he collapsed to the ground.

Songren didn't help him up; he just stood beside him.

"Why bother? To risk your life for such a person."

Xu Tian's voice was devoid of any emotion as he looked at the man before him and slowly walked towards him.
