The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 651

The villagers all kindly tried to dissuade Wang Lao Er.

Out of fear, he broke the law and went to jail.

Then his whole family would be truly finished.

They all thought that Wang Lao Er had gone mad because his ox had died.

They actually dared to come here; they've broken the law.

Soon, someone from the county government filed a complaint against Wang Lao Er.

"Who are you here? What brings you here?"

Xu Tian looked serious.

Looking at the person below the hall.

The man looked to be around thirty years old, with a shifty and cunning appearance.

He boldly said, "Sir, there are people in our village who sell beef from plowshares."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian immediately smiled.

"Really? Tell me quickly, what is it?"

The man then revealed the whole truth.

They also revealed the fact that Wang Lao Er was selling beef.

They also sent Xu Tian to investigate Chao.

He said, "Sir, if you had arrived any later, the beef would have been sold out."

He looked very anxious.

They were afraid that by the time Xu Tian and his group went to check Chao's place, the beef would already be sold out.

Xu Tian snorted coldly and shouted, "Guards, arrest him!"

Upon hearing this, the man was instantly stunned.

"Sir, what are you doing? You should be arresting that Wang Lao Er, not me."

"Sir, are you mistaken? The person selling beef is not some commoner!"

He originally came to file a complaint, but he didn't expect the adults to arrest him instead.

This is just so strange.

Xu Tian didn't listen to his explanation and immediately ordered his men to lock him up.

That person was still screaming even in jail.

"I'm innocent, Your Honor! I'm innocent!"

He still didn't know what had happened.

Originally, he wanted Wang Lao Er to go to jail, but now he's the one who's in jail.

Afterwards, Xu Tian found Wang Lao Er.

They released the person who had just been sent to prison.

The moment that man saw Wang Lao Er, he became furious.

"Sir, yes, that's him. He's the one who's been brazenly selling beef in the village."

"Everyone knows that selling beef is illegal. Wang Lao Er, he's knowingly breaking the law."

He knew perfectly well that breaking the law knowingly was an even more serious offense.

He was just waiting to see Wang Lao Er go to jail.

I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to come out in this lifetime.

Because his family simply couldn't afford to release Wang Lao Er.

Xu Tian knew about the entanglement between the two. Because they had quarreled, the other party held a grudge, which was probably the main reason why this person killed Wang Lao Er's ox.

"Who is below? State your name."

He struck the golden wooden board heavily.

Yelled.

The people below felt a sudden tremor.

"My lord, I am Wu Chaoqun, also known as Wuyong. I am suing Wang Lao Er for selling beef from farms."

Before Wang Lao Er could even announce his name...

Xu Tian struck the golden wooden door heavily again.

“You audacious Wu Chaoqun, you killed Wang Lao Er and his family’s ox, and now you’re suing Wang Lao Er for selling the ox. Your crimes are unforgivable.”

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the man surnamed Wu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Little did he know, the adults were fully aware of what he had done.

These things are very secretive.

And how did this case turn into him killing Wang Lao Er's ox?

"My lord, this..."

"Wu Chaoqun, are you still not going to confess? We've come this far, and you still refuse to admit it. This only makes your crime more serious."
