The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 658

He knew in his heart that if it wasn't out of a desire to protect, then it was out of fear.

This man is afraid of that person.

The person who made him do this must have immense power.

He ordered people to be severely tortured.

"what!"

A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, suddenly erupted from the cell.

Because the soundproofing here is excellent, and it's underground, people outside won't hear a thing.

No matter how loudly he shouted, no one knew.

After several screams, the man finally twitched his shoulders a few times.

"No, stop grabbing me, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Yes, it was a high-ranking official from Chang'an who ordered me to do this!"

"I...I don't know who he is?"

His body was shaking uncontrollably.

My whole body was in excruciating pain.

Xu Tian looked at him suspiciously.

"You don't even know who he is, yet you're working for him?"

"We usually do it if we get paid. I really don't know who that person is, I only know that he is a high-ranking official in Chang'an."

Xu Tian didn't believe a word the man said.

He suspected that this person might be the prime minister.

However, since there was no substantial evidence, he could not arbitrarily accuse someone.

Moreover, he was the prime minister of a country.

Because we can't get anything out of them anymore.

He didn't know if this person was honest or not, or who had sent him.

I was meditating in my mind.

If we release this person, we can definitely find out the real culprit behind it all.

After returning to Chang'an, he will definitely go to find that person.

Otherwise, that person sent someone to find him.

Both possibilities exist.

So he ordered his guards, "Release him."

The guard beside him was stunned.

He finally managed to capture him, and he hasn't gotten anything out of him yet.

Xu Tianxia issued an order.

They had no choice but to comply.

"My lord, this..."

The guard was somewhat reluctant.

After that person is released.

Xu Tian then had another person follow him.

“After he goes back, he will most likely go to find the person who sent him.”

"Keep a close eye on him, and make sure nothing happens to him."

The guards took the order and left.

This matter was spread among the villagers.

It quickly reached the ears of the Prime Minister of Chang'an.

"This person absolutely cannot be allowed to live."

He didn't know what information Xu Tian had gotten from that person.

But no matter what, that person cannot be kept.

He was afraid that Xu Tian would follow the trail and find more clues from this person.

He then gave orders to his men.

"We must get there in time and kill that person before Xu Tian finds out about those things."

"Remember, don't leave any clues."

He also knew that Xu Tian was extremely intelligent.

It's very possible that even the slightest clue could lead him here.

If this matter is discovered, he will not only fail to harm Xu Tian, ​​but will also get himself implicated.

He sent an assassin directly to take care of that person.

"At any cost!"

After the assassin left, the prime minister began to devise new ideas.

They wanted to come up with another way to deal with Xu Tian.

This method is not enough right now.

No matter how difficult things are for Xu Tian over there.

He absolutely cannot let him return to Chang'an.

He must die there.

His subordinates offered a suggestion: "Prime Minister, why not start with Xu Tian's school?"
