The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 649

It would be impolite to refuse Xu Tian's offer.

He temporarily took over the position of county magistrate.

Moreover, the prime minister enthusiastically supported this matter.

Xu Tian knew this perfectly well.

What exactly is the prime minister thinking?

He simply didn't want Xu Tian to go back.

Now he and Xu Tian are mortal enemies.

If Xu Tian were to return to the imperial court, it would pose a significant threat to him.

Therefore, if Xu Tian cannot go back, it will be very advantageous for him.

Therefore, he was the first to disagree with Xu Tian coming back.

They strongly supported him, and he became the county magistrate there.

Song Ren stood next to Xu Tian.

"My lord, I have heard that the Prime Minister has been strongly advocating for you to be the magistrate of this county."

Xu Tian simply smiled and let it go.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere anyway."

Xu Tian said dismissively.

But Song Ren was somewhat unhappy.

He felt that his adults shouldn't be in this place, as it seemed to be a disservice to him.

But since Xu Tian had already said that, he had nothing more to say.

After all, he was just a servant.

After finishing everything, Xu Tian prepared to go to the school.

Just then, the sound of drums could be heard outside.

Who is beating the drum outside?

Xu Tian inquired.

The constable hurried out to check, and soon he came back in, accompanied by an old man.

Upon seeing the government office, the old man immediately knelt on one knee.

"My lord, you must do me justice!"

The old man had tears in his eyes.

Xu Tian gently tapped the golden wooden board.

"Who is here in court and what is the matter they are accusing?"

The person below then stated his name and what he wanted to say.

"My name is Wang Chao, but everyone in the village calls me Wang Lao Er."

“Yesterday, someone cut off the tongue of my cow, and the cow died because it couldn’t eat.”

“My dear, your whole family depends on this one cow for survival.”

What Wang Lao Er said is not wrong.

These people were already poor; some families could support their entire household with just one cow or one horse.

But if the cow or horse dies, his whole family will be ruined.

"You must stand up for me if I'm beaten! I have no idea who is so wicked. Sir! You must save my family's lives."

At this point, he directly implicated his entire family.

However, Xu Tian also knew the answer in his heart.

What Wang Lao Er said is true. If the murderer really can't be found, then this whole family will really starve to death on the streets.

"Please get up, sir! Please tell me the whole story."

After the old man finished speaking, Xu Tian asked another question.

Do you have any enemies?

This was clearly done on purpose.

If it's someone he has no grudge against, then that person must be sick.

Therefore, Xu Tian believed that as long as he could find the person with whom he had a grudge, he could succeed.

We will definitely be able to find out the truth about this incident.

After Wang Lao Er finished speaking, Xu Tian had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

It seems that Wang Lao Er has offended quite a few people; he has offended almost several households in the neighborhood.

However, most of the time it's because of money issues.

Because there were so many people, Xu Tian couldn't guess who it was for a moment.

Left with no other choice, he gave Wang Lao Er an idea.

"After you go back, divide the cattle and sell them. That way, you'll definitely be able to find the real culprit."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lao Er was instantly terrified.
