The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 719

Tug thought the Minister of Justice's calculations were incredibly accurate! He actually knew how much money Tug had.

Faced with death, he could only use money to redeem himself and a few others from leaving.

Song Ren then went into the study to report to Xu Tian.

"Your Highness, I just saw those people being released by the Minister of Justice."

Xu Tian nodded nonchalantly.

"Oh, I see."

He knew the Minister of Justice would release the man.

I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because he has now become a prince, although he still needs to visit the academy from time to time.

But I go there very rarely now.

The emperor would summon him at any time.

Regardless of the affairs, big or small, within the palace.

They would all consult with him.

He has now completely become the emperor's right-hand man.

As he walked down the street, Songren walked beside him.

Several guards wanted to come along, but he arranged for them all to stay at his home.

He didn't want too many people around him.

So compelling.

Xu Tianzheng is eating on the street.

I heard a lot of noise next to me.

So he ordered Songren to go and take a look.

Songren returned quickly.

"what happened?"

He asked Song Ren.

Song Ren bowed respectfully, "My lord, many people over there are discussing something."

"Oh! What's the matter?"

So many people gathered together, and some were crying and shouting that they were wronged.

Xu Tian felt that there must be some great injustice involved.

Otherwise, no one would be so bold and unrestrained as to make a scene on the street.

You know, this is Chang'an Avenue.

Even the Emperor himself could pass by at any time.

Songren then told him what he had heard without hesitation.

"Everyone was talking about the Minister of Justice, saying that he had wronged an innocent person."

Xu Tian did indeed have some past grievances with the Minister of Justice.

He stood up before he had even finished eating what was left.

He wanted to see for himself how the Minister of Justice actually tried cases.

"Don't you all know? As long as you have money, you can even kill someone and not pay with your life."

"This is a lesson our newly appointed Minister of Justice taught us."

"Don't talk nonsense. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they might pin some crime on you. You won't even know how you died."

"That's true. This sir has an extremely high ability to distort the truth."

"I think Old Wang is doomed this time."

"Sigh, what can he do when he ends up with someone like this?"

"He only has himself to blame for not being discerning. As a result, he let the wolf into his house, which not only killed himself but also his whole family."

As Xu Tian walked among the crowd, he heard these words, and the people spoke ill of the Minister of Justice.

His brows furrowed slightly.

The Minister of Justice was in the courtroom when he heard people below shouting that they were wronged.

He struck the golden wooden board heavily.

"How dare you! Who's the adult, you or me?"

"You can't just casually utter the words 'wrongful accusation'."

"Guards, give him thirty heavy lashes."

"If you're still not satisfied, I'll add another 30 strokes."

Someone whispered from below, "Isn't this just coercing a confession through torture?"

Someone nearby quickly bumped into him.

"I don't want to live anymore."

The person who had spoken earlier quickly shut up.

Xu Tian had no idea that everyone was aware that the Minister of Justice was twisting the truth and judging the case.

Suddenly, I heard an old woman shouting from below.
