The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 493

Xu Tian has now completely broken ties with the General Who Protects the Nation.

The next day.

Songren took all of them directly to the county government office.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the county magistrate quickly went to greet him.

This is Xu Tian's favorite.

Moreover, he also knew that this person was a gift from the Emperor to Xu Tian.

Therefore, he, a mere county magistrate, was someone he simply couldn't afford to offend.

"I don't know..."

The magistrate hadn't finished speaking.

It was interrupted by pine nuts.

"Arrest these people. They were at the Xu residence last night and stole from the Xu family's storeroom."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate nearly dropped his jaw.

It should be noted that this was not the first time Yang Xu's residence had been robbed.

The last problem hasn't been resolved yet, and now another one has happened.

Even the county magistrate felt a headache coming on.

But he simply couldn't afford to offend these people.

Including these, all of these are matters under his jurisdiction.

We have no choice but to accept it directly.

He said to Songren, "Then I'll just lock these people up for now, okay?"

He didn't know who these people were; they couldn't possibly be thieves.

It doesn't look quite like it.

However, since he had already been arrested and caught red-handed, he simply treated it as theft.

But......

Just then, Xu Tian also arrived at the county government office.

He told the magistrate directly, "No need to wait, arrest them and punish them according to the law."

Those people were stunned for a moment when they heard Xu Tian's words.

But they were all fearless. Even when they heard that they were to be severely tortured, they remained undaunted and their expressions did not change at all.

The magistrate obeyed the order and immediately ordered the man to be arrested, using all the instruments of torture available in the yamen.

However, in the end, those people still didn't say anything.

The magistrate's brows were almost furrowed into a deep frown.

"Lord Xu, what do you think...?"

He was completely out of options.

All the instruments of torture have been used, but those people still won't say a word.

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

These people seem to be tough nuts to crack.

They're clearly the general's confidants; otherwise, they wouldn't be so stubborn.

Xu Tian went straight into the cell.

He moved a chair and sat outside the cell.

Looking at the person inside, the air in his eyes was icy cold.

"Speak, why did you steal from my residence?"

"Moreover, they know so much about my residence."

He already knew the truth, but none of these people were willing to admit it.

Now he has to use other methods.

Even the county magistrate has not appeared.

There were only three thieves, but it seemed that they had already conspired together.

Even the words they spoke were the same.

One of the men was singled out.
