The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 673

Upon seeing this evidence, Li Er was instantly enraged.

He simply threw all the scrolls in front of the prime minister.

"Prime Minister, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation today?"

The prime minister was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected Xu Tian to be able to produce so much evidence.

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Er was furious and ordered the prime minister to be imprisoned.

"I have always trusted you completely, but I never expected you to do such a thing."

The prime minister never expected that all of his evidence would fall into Xu Tian's hands.

After thinking for a moment, he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. These are all false accusations against me by Xu Tian. I did not do any of these things at all."

Xu Tian felt that this prime minister was utterly shameless.

He has already presented all the evidence, but he still won't admit it.

"Your Majesty..."

The prime minister was still begging for mercy from below.

In addition, Xu Tian was falsely accused.

Li Er slammed his hand on the chair.

"Prime Minister, you have truly disappointed me."

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?"

The prime minister immediately collapsed to the ground.

He still wanted to put up a final resistance.

Unexpectedly, Li Er did not give him any chance.

"Your Majesty, it was my momentary lapse of judgment that led me to covet a small portion of the project funds. I beg Your Majesty to consider the contributions I have made to the court and Your Majesty over the years and to grant me leniency!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

To save his own life, the prime minister then flaunted his merits and achievements in court.

Everyone who was on his side stood up and pleaded for him.

Li Er, mindful of the prime minister's contributions to the court over the years, waved his hand helplessly.

"Very well! Considering your contributions to the court and the people over the years, Prime Minister, I will make an exception for you today."

"I will spare your life in the hope that you will correct your ways in the future. If you commit the same mistake again, I will certainly not forgive you."

Xu Tian also understood why Li Er would let the prime minister go.

It's simply because of the current power and influence of the prime minister.

If it were at this moment, the prime minister would be cut in half at the waist.

At that time, those who are loyal to the emperor will face criticism.

Xu Tian did not stay in Kyoto for long.

After this incident, he quickly left Chang'an.

It takes three days to get to the county seat of Chang'an District.

He fell asleep without realizing it during the bumpy journey.

When he woke up, they had already entered a forest.

Why did you stop here?

They stopped in the middle of the woods, and he asked the pine tree outside, puzzled.

Song Ren had already drawn his sword.

Seeing this, Xu Tian frowned slightly.

"My lord, please go in first. There are assassins."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, an arrow whizzed past their ears.

Xu Tian shook his head easily, dodging the attack.

Then a second arrow flew in.

Song Ren swiftly raised his sword and knocked the arrow away.

Bang!

Then came the sounds of weapons rubbing against each other.

Immediately, more than twenty men in black came up around their carriage.

Xu Tian gave it a very light tug.

He had just left Chang'an when he encountered the assassin.

He had just offended the prime minister.

Now, as soon as they left the city, they encountered assassins.

He suspected that the prime minister was behind it.

With a spin, Song Ren took to the air, and upon landing, he swept the ground horizontally.

The several men in black around him were quickly killed by him with a single sword stroke.

"Tell me, who exactly sent you?"
