The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 655

Xu Tian summoned Da Rong for questioning alone.

He found Da Rong's behavior suspicious, and among so many villagers, he was the only one who refused to be checked.

Everyone doubted him.

Xu Tian then asked a few questions.

"Da Rong, are you feeling itchy right now? And do you have a lot of red bumps on your body?"

Da Rong was stunned for a moment. Ever since he had damaged the fields last night, he had been feeling itchy all over.

He didn't know what was going on either.

I thought some kind of bug had crawled on me.

So the itching all over the body is due to poisoning.

Moreover, those red bumps were particularly large, which is why he was afraid of being examined.

It was because he was afraid that people would see the red bumps on his body.

He looked at Xu Tian and swallowed hard.

He never imagined that these strange symptoms were actually the result of Xu Tian putting itching powder in the field.

"grown ups!"

Before he could even ask the question...

Xu Tian continued to ask him questions.

Do you feel thirsty right now? Do you really want to drink water, but even if you drink a lot, you'll feel thirsty again very quickly?

Upon hearing Xu Tian's question, Da Rong's eyes widened instantly.

He nodded, but quickly lost his confidence.

"Lord Xu? This..."

A faint smile appeared on Xu Tian's lips.

"Da Rong, did you destroy those villagers' fields?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's confident question, Da Rong completely lost his breath.

He nodded heavily, a look of regret on his face.

“Da Rong, do you know that the villagers have been complaining these days, all about the damage to their fields?”

Da Rong nodded.

However, his mood seemed somewhat strange.

"And do you know? If these fields are destroyed, the local people will have no harvest for a year, and everyone will starve to death on the streets."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Da Rong's expression changed instantly.

He looked somewhat sad.

There was also some self-blame.

He immediately knelt down in front of Xu Tian.

"My lord, I know that doing this is wrong."

After Xu Tian's questions, Da Rong confessed without being asked.

At the beginning, he hadn't thought about these issues at all.

He never imagined that the villagers would starve to death on the streets as a result.

If everyone in this village starved to death.

Then his sins will be enormous.

But he didn't think that much at the time.

All I need is someone to give me money.

Moreover, the person gave quite a lot of silver; the deposit alone was one tael.

Da Rong told Xu Tian, ​​"Someone gave me money to do this."

"Xiao Min really didn't think that much at the time."

"They said they could get more silver by destroying the villagers' fields. I thought that after getting that silver, I could compensate the villagers. That way, no one would go hungry."

Xu Tian felt that Da Rong in front of him was just too naive.

At that time, who would still want his money?

He destroyed all the crops that people had worked so hard to grow.

"Who exactly is the person who gave you the silver?"

Xu Tianwen Da Rong.

Da Rong shook his head. "I don't know that person either. I just met him at the inn that day. He knew I was short of money, so he helped me."

Da Rong likes to drink, and he has accumulated a lot of debt.

He wanted to use the money to pay off his debts first.

So, upon seeing the silver, he instantly became envious.

He did whatever that person told him to do.

They hadn't even considered the consequences.

Xu Tian looked at Da Rong.

I never imagined that someone was behind this.
