The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 707

Xu Tiancai had just returned from Tuge's place.

He had barely gotten home when someone came to tell him that something had happened to him.

"What happened?"

Xu Tian's facial expression faltered for a moment.

Inquire of the guards who came to report.

"I heard that General Tuge and his men sneaked out of the post station in the middle of the night to go to a brothel, where they beat someone to death and then escaped."

Xu Tian was stunned when he heard the news.

"What? This Tug!"

He had just arrived in the Great Tang Dynasty when this happened.

He really is a troublemaker.

Without saying a word, Xu Tian left the mansion.

He went to investigate with several guards.

They all went there, and the brothel was already surrounded by people.

They entered with their tokens.

The brothel madam saw that Xu Tian was an official.

Moreover, the manner in which he acted suggested he was a high-ranking official.

He quickly went up and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, you must make the decision on this matter."

"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with my brothel!"

"That man killed them all on his own."

"Moreover, if this gets out, our brothel will be unable to continue operating."

The mother knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

But in the end, they all excluded themselves.

I was afraid of being tainted by this incident.

Xu Tian then called over several of the men inside.

Inquire one by one.

"My lord, to be fair, that spoiled brat was indeed in the wrong, but you shouldn't have killed him."

After asking several of his colleagues, Xu Tian finally understood the whole situation.

It turns out that Tuge had taken a liking to a girl, but she was snatched away by a spoiled brat.

He got into a fight with the other party over a disagreement and killed him.

Xu Tian is not a member of the Ministry of Justice, so this matter is naturally not his responsibility to interfere.

"Report to the official!"

He immediately sent his guards to report to the authorities.

This matter caused a great uproar in Chang'an.

Almost everyone in the streets and alleys knows it.

The one who was killed was the son of an official.

This matter naturally escalated into a major incident.

It has even reached the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed the fault of that纨绔 (a spoiled brat), but this general is also far too reckless and arrogant."

"They actually came to visit a brothel in my Great Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Yaojin never left any room for maneuver in his words.

Say anything.

"If we seek the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we should arrest him first and convict him of a serious crime."

"Even if we kill him, their emperor won't dare to do anything to us."

Cheng Yaojin was furious.

Although both of them were at fault in this matter.

But when they got here...

It became Tug's fault alone.

Because he did kill someone.

Most importantly, he, a great general, actually escaped.

This is simply intolerable.

In a fit of anger, Li Er directly handed the matter over to the Minister of Justice.

The newly appointed Minister of Justice was recommended by the Prime Minister.

Because the prime minister has now fallen from grace, these people have been implicated to some extent.

Not only were getting things done hindered, but even interpersonal relationships were impeded.

"Now that this matter has been handed over to our Ministry of Justice, we must handle it well."

The Minister of Justice was all talk and no action.

He then led a large number of officials into the brothel.

The people in the brothel were already quite frightened by this incident.

Upon hearing that the Minister of Justice had arrived with a large entourage, they realized...

One by one, they were so frightened that some fainted and others peed their pants.
