The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 535

After the trial concluded, Xu Tian faced the two young masters.

He felt that Lu Yanxi's way of solving cases was too straightforward; he would just believe whatever the witnesses said and casually get away with it.

The Grand Tutor's son was quite perceptive. He noticed the suspicious points in the case and began to question people, eventually uncovering the truth.

So he said, "In this literary contest, Yu Shu wins!"

Upon hearing this result, Lu Yanxi was extremely dissatisfied.

Why did you rule in his favor?

He was just uncomfortable that Yu Shu had won, because he felt he would never lose to Yu Shu.

He was particularly unhappy when he heard Xu Tian say that Yu had won or lost.

Xu Tian looked at Lu Yanxi.

"The matter is already quite obvious. Do you think I shouldn't have ruled in favor of Yu Shu?"

After Xu Tian said that, Lu Yanxi suddenly found herself speechless.

He looked dejected.

"Yu Shu, let's go!"

After it was over, he left with Yu Shu.

Watching them leave, Lu Yanxi was seething with hatred.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

He didn't know exactly where he went wrong.

We clearly need to hear the witnesses' testimony!

He turned around and glared fiercely at the people behind him.

The constables were all frightened and trembled.

Xu Tian took Yu Shu for another stroll on the street.

“Master, after what happened today, Lu Yanxi must have developed a deep hatred for us.”

Although Yu Shu didn't have a good relationship with Lu Yanxi, he felt that Lu Yanxi had offended Xu Tian, ​​and he was actually quite happy about it.

Because he knew Lu Yanxi's father and also wanted Lu Yanxi to become Xu Tian's apprentice.

After this incident, their relationship will become even more strained.

Then Lu Yanxi would definitely be even less willing to become Xu Tian's disciple; he certainly didn't want to become fellow disciples with Lu Yanxi.

Xu Tian looked at Yu Shu and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, it's okay."

He knew what the prime minister was thinking, and after this incident, he was even less willing to take Lu Yanxi as his apprentice.

Moreover, he has already come up with the best solution.

This time, Lu Yanxi failed.

The prime minister must already know.

So he used that as an excuse to refuse him.

Morning next day.

in the hall.

The prime minister brought up the matter of having Lu Yanxi become Xu Tian's apprentice again.

Xu Tian said directly, "Prime Minister, if you insist on doing this, you can let your son study at the academy for a period of time first."

The prime minister kept pressing him.

He felt extremely annoyed.

However, a direct refusal would certainly offend the prime minister.

He didn't want to get into these troubles.

Therefore, I could only politely decline.

However, almost every day during the morning court session, the prime minister would ask him the same question.

The prime minister already knows about yesterday's events.

But he didn't know what happened next.

So he asked, "I wonder what the outcome was of the case handled by the two young masters yesterday?"

He didn't want his son to lose to the Grand Tutor's son.

The conflict between him and the Grand Tutor stemmed from a disagreement between their sons.

If his son were to lose to the Grand Tutor's son, Xu Tian would certainly not accept his son.

Therefore, he hoped his son would win.

Xu Tian gave a cold laugh to himself.

He knew what the prime minister was thinking.

The prime minister was a strong-willed man and naturally hoped that his son would be like him.
