The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 657

Xu Tian asked the question several times, but the person still didn't say anything.

"You might as well just give me a quick death. I've already said it, this was all my doing!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else!"

The man was kneeling below, looking like he had a stubborn bone in his body.

There's no way he could reveal who the mastermind is.

Xu Tian had figured it out.

"Do you think you can just stay silent?"

"What grudge do you have against the people in these villages that forces you to do this?"

Xu Tian looked at the person below the hall.

"Give me a reason that will convince me. Do you really think you can protect that person?"

The man below snorted coldly.

He would never tell anyone, no matter what.

Even if you kill me, it won't change anything! No one ordered me to do it!

Xu Tian's eyes turned cold.

"Really? You're that eager to die?"

Hearing Xu Tian say that, the man was still startled.

He didn't want to die.

It was simply because they wanted to avoid this calamity.

"Is it just because of a prank? Where did you get such a vicious mind? Are you going to tell me that you were like this from the moment you were born?"

The man's face turned pale instantly.

He could no longer find any reason.

I should have killed Da Rong sooner.

Otherwise, so much trouble wouldn't have happened.

"I just wanted to see how anxious they were. Seeing them so anxious made me happy."

The man's tone changed instantly.

"Do I need someone to tell me how to do such a small thing? When I first came here, these people weren't nice to me, and that little kid even hit me with a stick."

Xu Tian's lips twitched.

Is that really a valid reason?

That's utter nonsense.

How could he possibly believe that?

He glanced at the person coldly.

"Send him to the prison first. I want to see if he can still be so stubborn after being tortured."

The man felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing that they would all be subjected to torture.

But he knew that whether he spoke or not, he would die.

The first instrument of torture brought out is the lightest.

The man was still shouting desperately.

"Kill me! At worst, it's just a life. Eighteen years from now, I'll still be a hero."

Xu Tian gave a wink to the four people next to him.

He walked up carrying a red-hot sheet of iron.

"This form of punishment has been used before, hasn't it?"

Xu Tian stood up from the chair.

"I heard that in less than a breath, that person bit off his tongue and committed suicide!"

"Why is this torture device still here? Wasn't it said to have been put away because it was too cruel?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the man's pupils contracted slightly.

But even so, it was still a shock.

That man? He wouldn't say anything.

Xu Tiancai didn't care.

He stood in front of the man.

They took the torture device directly.

"Ah! This is really hot!"

He simply placed his hand beside him and tentatively probed the situation.

It shrank back in an instant.

It felt as if I had been burned by that sheet of metal.

Soon after, he ordered his men to bring out a second instrument of torture.

This is a splint.

A man could tell what it was for at a glance.

His body trembled slightly.

Xu Tian did not give him any chance.

They immediately ordered people to be put on torture instruments.

"I'd like to see how long you can keep up your stubbornness."

"How much did that person give you to make you defend him so fiercely?"
