The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 718

Moreover, these screams came from the mouths of his guards.

Xu Tian looked at the men in black who had rushed in.

He picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his lips, his thin lips parting slightly in a curved upward motion.

A man in black leaped up, and Xu Tian gently raised his hand, actually catching the man's sword between his fingers.

The man in black was startled. He had used all his strength, but the prince in front of him had easily caught his sword.

Bang!

With a slight exertion of his fingers, Xu Tian broke the sword in two.

The man in black's eyes widened instantly.

But he didn't have a chance to come to his senses.

The remaining tip of the sword in Xu Tian's hand flew out instantly.

Xu Tian's hand landed on the man in black's shoulder.

"You only have yourself to blame for following the wrong master."

After he finished speaking, the man in black collapsed to the ground.

Then, several guards in the courtyard, plus a pine nut.

They easily defeated more than a dozen men in black.

Two of them had already been killed by Xu Tian.

"Go find someone from the Ministry of Justice."

The guard quickly obeyed and left.

Tug was already trembling with fear.

He originally had a one-on-one plan, which was foolproof.

But to my surprise, Xu Tian seemed to be completely unharmed.

Soon, the guards he had sent out returned.

This time, it was people from the Ministry of Justice.

Without saying a word, they immediately dispatched a dozen or twenty officials over.

Xu Tiandu suspected that this was not something the Emperor had done.

The guards immediately arrested all the remaining people and took them to the Ministry of Justice for torture.

Xu Tian saw the mess his garden was in.

"Just clean it up."

The Minister of Justice personally visited the site and discovered that Tuge was among them.

"General Tug, what brings you here?"

Tuge looked and realized it was the Minister of Justice.

He instantly felt that he was saved this time.

"Your Excellency, this time, you must save me."

The Minister of Justice laughed, but his laugh was utterly wicked.

"General Tug wants me to release you, but do you know who we've captured this time?"

"I can't afford to offend the people the General has offended."

"General, you want me to release you. Do you think I dare?"

The Minister of Justice looked amused, and even when he looked at Tuge, his expression was meaningful.

Tuge immediately understood what the Minister of Justice meant.

If someone wants the Minister of Justice to release them, they must offer some kind of gesture.

"Minister of Justice, look! I'll give you money, I'll give you all my money."

He originally intended to save some money to make a comeback.

However, there is no better way now.

He couldn't really die in the Tang Dynasty.

The Minister of Justice glanced at Tuge and smiled.

"This number!"

He held up a few fingers.

Tug asked, "Five hundred?"

The Minister of Justice shook his head.

"Only 500? How can that be worthy of General Tug's status?"

"What I want is five thousand taels of real gold and silver."

The Minister of Justice is taking advantage of the situation to make exorbitant demands on Tuge! But things have already come to this point.

Tug could not possibly risk his own life.

He could only swallow his anger and resentment.

"Okay, five thousand it is."

This time, he suffered a double loss, losing both his wife and his troops.

Not only did they not gain any benefits, they also suffered heavy losses.

He wrote a letter in his own hand, saying, "If you, Minister, just take this to my subordinates, they will naturally give you every penny of the money."

He even had some doubts: did this Minister already know about his wealth?
