The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 652

Wu Chaoqun was too terrified to speak; he collapsed to the ground.

He could only stare blankly at the adult sitting in the high chair.

He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he said nothing.

"Wu Chaoqun, do you plead guilty?"

Hearing Xu Tian say this, Wu Chaoqun nodded.

"I confess, sir!"

Finally, he said, "Wang Lao Er hadn't received any money for the work he did for our family before. Before the New Year, he came to me again asking for money, and I was really angry about it. So I've been wanting to cause him trouble."

"This time too, because they saw that no one was taking care of his oxen, so they cut off the tongue of his oxen."

Xu Tian heard his explanation.

He struck the golden wooden board heavily.

"The case is clear, and the evidence is conclusive."

"This judge hereby pronounces the verdict: the matter of Wu Chaoqun causing the death of Wang Lao Er's ox is true. Wu Chaoqun is ordered to compensate Wang Lao Er with one ox."

"Those of you below, do you have any objections?"

The two men from Tangxia remained silent.

Wu Chaoqun was also punished for this incident.

He only had one ox at home.

But now this ox is to be awarded to Wang Lao Er.

Xu Tian was afraid that they would still harbor resentment towards him.

So he said, "I hope you can forgive and forget what happened in the future, and that the village will live in harmony."

Hearing this, the two had no choice but to put aside their differences.

The truth of the case was revealed in an instant.

And there was hardly any investigation at all?

That's how they figured out who the murderer was.

The villagers were filled with admiration for Xu Tian, ​​and the story spread far and wide.

People believed that Xu Tian was Bao Zheng reincarnated, and his good reputation spread rapidly.

"My lord, your illustrious name is now being sung throughout the streets and alleys."

Song Ren gave Xu Tian a thumbs up.

Xu Tian just smiled helplessly.

It was such a simple case.

People began to see him as the reincarnation of a contractor.

Xu Tian still felt somewhat helpless.

"Wait a minute, I still need to go to the school to check on the progress there."

Song Ren nodded.

Now, no matter where Xu Tian goes, he will follow him.

And there were also the guards around Xu Tian.

Every time he goes out, it's like he's on an incognito tour.

Xu Tiandu was a little unaccustomed to it.

"You guys don't need to come along later. Just stay inside the yamen."

He said to the guards.

Although the guards were worried about his safety, they could not disobey his orders.

He could only nod in agreement and stay inside the yamen.

Songren, on the other hand, stayed by his side and had gotten used to it.

The school is making great progress.

"Lord Xu, you've arrived."

The village chief has been overseeing the school's affairs here.

He was very happy to see Xu Tian arrive.

"Sir, may I ask about the case of the ox you handled before? Now the villagers are all talking about it, saying that you are the reincarnation of Bao Gong."

Xu Tian just smiled slightly.

"It's just a small case, villagers, that's too much of an overstatement."

The village chief quickly said with a smile, "It's our good fortune that you can stay here, sir."

They were terrified that Xu Tian would leave.

He is only temporarily serving as the county magistrate, and may leave at any time.

Now these people are really reluctant to part with him.
