The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 720

"Innocent, Your Honor, my son is innocent."

"It was clearly that woman who was unfaithful, who let the wolf into the house and caused the death of my grandson."

"Sir, this case was not judged in this way at all."

"We refuse to accept this! We refuse to accept this!"

Unexpectedly, the Minister of Justice did not reopen the case.

He roared, "Arrest that old woman!"

The man who had just been given 30 lashes suddenly roared, "Let go of my mother! Don't touch her!"

The Minister of Justice, without distinguishing right from wrong, directly beat people.

This angered many and led to a public uprising against the Minister of Justice.

Someone in the crowd recognized Xu Tian, ​​the man who had been wrongly accused, and his relatives knelt down in front of him.

"Please, sir, save the tree family!"

Then, all the people in the surrounding area knelt down.

We implore Xu Tian to seek justice for the people.

The Minister of Justice snorted coldly.

"Lord Xu, oh no, you should be called Your Highness now."

"However, no matter how high your official rank is, you have no right to interfere with our Ministry of Justice's handling of cases!"

He looked at Xu Tian, ​​completely disregarding him.

Although he is now a prince, he is only one without real power.

He was someone who could be beheaded if the emperor was displeased.

Why would they be afraid?

Besides, he has powerful backers.

He wouldn't be afraid of someone as insignificant as Xu Tian.

"Sir, is this how your Ministry of Justice handles cases?"

Xu Tian took a step forward and stood directly in the center of the courtroom.

He looked at the Minister of Justice with a questioning expression.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the Minister of Justice said directly, "Your Highness, this is originally a case of our Ministry of Justice. You should leave it to us to handle."

His attitude was not devout at all; in fact, it was quite arrogant.

He then gave orders to his men.

"Get all these troublemakers out of here."

"If they don't go out, beat them with sticks."

"I refuse to believe that anyone would dare to be arrogant in front of me!"

It's unclear whether he was addressing the public with these words.

This was also said to Xu Tian.

He still thought Xu Tian was just an adult from that academy.

Xu Tian sneered inwardly.

They went straight to court.

He said to the Minister of Justice, "Do you think you, the Minister of Justice, are more important than me, a prince?"

He snorted again.

"Then I must ask Your Majesty, how exactly are these official ranks divided?"

"Now even a mere Minister of Justice can ride roughshod over me."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the Minister of Justice was taken aback.

He originally thought that Xu Tian had no right to interfere in matters concerning the Ministry of Justice.

But he never expected this.

Xu Tian actually entered so forcefully.

"Your Highness, this..."

Xu Tian didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

They went straight up the steps.

He drew his sword.

"Minister of Justice, this is the Imperial Sword. Seeing this sword is like seeing the Emperor of Swords."

Hearing Xu Tian's words.

The Minister of Justice felt his legs suddenly go weak.

He had heard of this imperial sword.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian actually brought it with him.

"The imperial sword can behead princes and nobles above, and corrupt officials below."

"Sir, which category do you belong to?"

Xu Tian's tone sounded sinister.
