The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 642

What must his mother have been feeling?

He couldn't imagine it.

In front of the county magistrate, Xu Tian showed great concern for the man in black.

It even involved the elderly mother in the family of the man in black.

You should know that for these killers, their families are their weakest point.

That is also their weakness.

Now that Xu Tian already knows about the man in black's family.

This means that they had already used this matter to threaten the Night People.

The magistrate's heart tightened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Upon returning, he immediately assembled a team.

Mianmian must kill the person who poisoned her.

What he didn't know was that Song Ren had been following him all along.

Xu Tian knew everything about his every move.

"Did he believe it?"

Xu Tianwen's bodyguards.

The guard nodded and said, "The magistrate is completely convinced. Now, I am gathering men to kill that man in black."

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

He put down the file in his hand.

His face was completely calm.

He knew exactly how to act in front of the county magistrate.

He will surely believe that the man in black has confessed.

If he believes it, he will definitely poison the Night People and kill them to silence them.

"Continue to monitor the situation and report any developments promptly."

The guards accepted the order and withdrew.

Xu Tian continued flipping through the files in his hands.

These files are all about this disaster.

Countless people were displaced, and some even went so far as to have their remains never found.

Xu Tian has already reported to the imperial court, which has dispatched a large number of people for the search and rescue.

But so many days have passed, even if they find it, it's probably not alive.

Regardless of the outcome, they have to do it.

The next day, the county magistrate wanted to visit the man in black again, but was stopped at the door by Xu Tian's guards.

"I'm sorry, Magistrate, but the magistrate has said that no one is allowed to enter without his order."

The county magistrate was furious, but dared not retaliate.

"Oh, in that case, I'll come back after I get permission from the adults."

The guards treated him with considerable politeness.

After all, these were all arranged by Xu Tian.

As soon as he stepped out, the magistrate saw someone decocting medicine inside the small house.

He then ordered someone to go in and inquire.

From the corner, a voice said, "My lord, I've overheard that the person is preparing medicine for the man in black in the dungeon."

Upon hearing this news, the county magistrate was overjoyed.

Then, he took out the arsenic he had prepared earlier.

"No matter what method you use, get this stuff into the medicine."

The subordinate accepted the order and left.

Xu Tian had been sending people to follow the county magistrate.

He was naturally fully aware of his movements.

Even when the county magistrate sent someone to put arsenic in the medicine, his men saw it clearly.

The man then reported this to Xu Tian.

When the county magistrate heard that Xu Tian was coming, he quickly retreated.

Xu Tian ordered someone to carry the items inside to find the man in black.

The dungeon was cold and damp, with rats constantly crawling around inside.

You can even hear the squeaking of mice fighting.
