The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 489

Xu Tian's men knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.

There wasn't even a sound.

The general's mansion was as empty as if no one was there.

The General of the State knew that Xu Tian had arrived, but he did not want to see him.

It wasn't until the goalkeeper announced it a third time.

General Zheng slowly stood up.

"Just tell him that I am ill and ask him to come another day."

He didn't want to see Xu Tian, ​​so he wanted to feign illness to refuse.

Xu Tian heard the guards come out and say that the General Zhenguo was ill.

Even a fool would know he was lying.

Not to mention Xu Tian, ​​such a smart person.

He knew immediately that the general didn't want to see him at all.

Otherwise, why was the door closed when they arrived? Now they're saying they're sick and don't want him to come.

"Another day"—who knows when that "another day" will actually be.

He absolutely had to see him today.

So, Xu Tian's face fell.

He said directly to the guard, "Go in and tell your general that I have brought someone with me. I think the general must really want to see him."

After saying that, he pushed the man out.

However, the guards in the general's mansion did not recognize this person.

He had no choice but to go in and report to the general again.

"General, that Lord Xu is not leaving, and he said he has brought several people that the generals want to see."

Upon hearing this, the General of the Nation frowned deeply.

"who?"

Who could he possibly want to see?

"Have you seen that person?"

The guard nodded. "It's a thin man; he looks like a commoner."

Upon hearing the guard's description, the General of the State was taken aback.

But in the end, he still couldn't figure out who this person was.

"Let him in. I want to see what tricks he's up to."

Xu Tian entered the General's Mansion with the guards.

Moreover, he was accompanied by the person who had been following him.

When the General Zhenguo saw that person again, he frowned slightly.

He never expected that this person would fall into Xu Tian's hands.

Moreover, it seems that Xu Tian already knows everything.

The general gave that man's face a cold glare.

The man lowered his head slightly, not daring to look the general in the eye.

He knew that none of these people were people he could afford to offend.

Not to mention this general, he wouldn't dare to provoke even the general's guards.

"General! Have you heard that our treasury has been robbed?"

Xu Tian deliberately asked this question.

The general gave a cold laugh. "Why is Lord Xu's warehouse always being robbed? It seems that the capital city needs some reforms."

But then he heard Xu Tian snort coldly!

"If they were just ordinary petty thieves, they could be dealt with, but they can't withstand the interference of some high-ranking officials. Let alone dealing with them, they wouldn't even dare to speak up to the county magistrates."

If this incident hadn't been caused by the General, his matter wouldn't have been suppressed for so long without anyone taking action.

Clearly, the county magistrate had already discovered something.

It was because the investigation reached the General that he dared not continue investigating.

They kept putting it off.
