The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 687

Wang Er stared wide-eyed at the sword perched on his shoulder.

"Brother Cha, Brother Cha, I'm just here to deliver vegetables."

He clearly came in with the vegetable delivery team, so naturally he had to lie and say that he was delivering vegetables.

"The vegetable delivery guy! Our adults said we have to catch that vegetable delivery guy."

Wang Er was still completely bewildered.

Why did Xu Tian have to grab someone who was delivering the car?

And coincidentally, he came in right after the vegetable delivery truck.

Wang Er was immediately brought before Xu Tian.

He stared wide-eyed at everything before him.

"This... weren't you poisoned?"

His poison was extremely potent, even though it came from such a large well.

But if you put just one bag of it in, those who are poisoned will die within three days.

But he didn't expect that Xu Tian would actually be able to stand up.

Moreover, judging from the way he was walking, he didn't show any signs of poisoning.

Xu Tian sneered.

"Poisoned? Who told you I was poisoned?"

Wang Er was dumbfounded.

He had clearly heard before that Xu Tian had been poisoned.

But unexpectedly, he now claims that he was not poisoned.

Just as Wang Er was wondering about this matter.

The sword on his shoulder was already pressed against his neck.

"Hand over the antidote!"

Wang Er smiled at Xu Tian.

"What antidote? Does Your Excellency suspect that I poisoned it?"

"How could that be? I'm just here to deliver vegetables."

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

"Wang Er, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. We've already reached this critical juncture, and you still won't admit it."

"As long as you hand over the antidote and allow those constables to be cured, I can let this matter go."

"If you still refuse to listen to my magic tricks, then I will have no choice but to send you to the dungeon."

Upon hearing the word "dungeon," Wang'er's legs went weak instantly.

"grown ups......"

"How about it?"

"I will hand over the antidote now."

After Xu Tian gave the antidote to the constables, they were quickly cured.

He thus fulfilled his promise and did not do anything to Wang Er; he simply let him go.

"Sir, are you really just going to let Wang Er go like this?"

The official felt that this was tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

Xu Tian shook his head.

"It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies."

The moment he saw Wang Er, he understood.

Wang Er was unhappy with him because of what happened yesterday.

That's why they put the medicine in his county government office.

All told, Xu Tian has been here for more than half a year.

Now that the academy has been completed, he has personally invited several teachers.

At everyone's request, a local gentry member was invited to serve as the dean.

Li Er was also in a hurry to summon Xu Tian back to Chang'an because of some things that had happened in the court.

The villagers here don't want Xu Tian to leave.

On the morning he was about to leave, the villagers blocked the entrance to the county government office.

"Fellow villagers, all good things must come to an end. Now that His Majesty has summoned me back, if I delay, it will be a capital offense."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly made way.

They could only respectfully see Xu Tian off.

Li Er had thought things through thoroughly; as Xu Tian was leaving, he had already sent someone over to take over the position of county magistrate.

Xu Tian returned to Chang'an.

They entered the imperial city without stopping.
