The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 721

Xu Tian not only used his status to overpower the Minister of Justice, but he even drew his imperial sword.

The Minister of Justice immediately knelt on the ground.

His whole body started to shake.

Xu Tian stated frankly, "I will take on this case."

"Guards, remove the title of Minister of Justice, strip him of his official hat, and lock him up for me."

The guards of the Minister of Justice completely ignored Xu Tian's orders.

Song Ren walked up without hesitation.

They removed the official hat from the Minister of Justice and arrested him.

A man from the Ministry of Justice came up from the side.

"Your Highness, this matter is probably inappropriate."

Upon hearing what the man said, Xu Tian merely glanced at him indifferently.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there anything wrong with me arresting an official who treats human life like dirt?"

After saying that, he simply waved his hand, letting Songren take the person away on his own.

Several officials from the Ministry of Justice came forward.

"Your Highness, please forgive him, considering that this is only the first offense committed by the Minister."

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

"First offense?"

"Stop talking. Now that this matter has been decided, there is no room for negotiation."

Song Ren has already taken the person directly to prison.

The people below began to clap and cheer.

Xu Tian then accepted the case.

The defendant's wife was brought to court.

Following the testimonies of several people, it was revealed that the woman murdered her entire family for another man. The evidence was irrefutable.

Xu Tian immediately threw the man into death row.

The man was acquitted.

He looked at the woman who had been taken away, his expression filled with sorrow.

The Minister of Justice had only been arrested for less than an hour when Princess Dingrong arrived.

Xu Tianzhen had no idea that Princess Dingrong was the source of the Minister of Justice's arrogance.

Because he has a princess backing him up.

That's why they've always been so unscrupulous and arrogant.

They don't even respect the law.

When Princess Dingrong arrived, she did not see the Minister of Justice.

The local people are all talking about this.

She already knew more or less in her heart.

"The Prince?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Princess Dingrong's face.

Xu Tian simply nodded slightly.

That's enough to say hello.

Princess Dingrong was the emperor's beloved daughter, so naturally she was a bit arrogant and domineering.

Moreover, Xu Tian had seen it before and knew it was very good at dealing with palace maids.

"What brings Princess Dingrong here?"

Without saying a word, Ding Rong sat down in the chief seat.

Ding Rong glanced at Xu Tian, ​​then coldly snorted.

"After hearing that the Prince has stripped the Minister of Justice of all his powers? This princess doesn't know whether this is true or not?"

Xu Tian answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

"Oh, I've long heard of Your Highness's virtue and talent. Meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

"However, regarding the position of Minister of Justice, I still hope that you can reinstate him."

"After all, the position of Minister of Justice can't just remain vacant forever, can it?"

Xu Tian glanced at Princess Dingrong.

“The princess is absolutely right. However, the Minister of Justice is of questionable character. Even if I agree, the people may not agree.”

Judging from Princess Dingrong's tone, she wanted to reinstate the Minister of Justice.
