The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 729

Xu Tian completely defeated the people of Waquan Village, and in the process, he also amassed a considerable amount of wealth.

Song Ren recorded all of his wealth in the dossier.

This was then reported to Xu Tian.

“The money they obtained was ill-gotten gains. Therefore, all of this money should belong to the common people.”

"Songren, tomorrow you should post a notice so that the people whose property was robbed by Waquan Village can come and claim their money."

Song Ren nodded and replied, "Yes."

Then walked out.

Xu Tian opened the file and saw that it contained huge sums of money.

"It seems they've won over quite a few people over the years."

"No wonder the people in that area are suffering so much. If it weren't for that guy, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who has been protecting his younger brother, this kid's entire village wouldn't have risen to prominence so quickly."

Xu Tian muttered to himself.

The next day.

Song Ren immediately complied with Xu Tian's order and posted the notice.

After seeing the notice, the people flocked into the Prince's Palace.

They were all laughing so hard their mouths were practically closed, and even their eyes were squinting into slits.

"Your Highness, you are truly a reincarnation of Bao Zheng!"

After they were all brought into the Prince's Mansion.

After receiving their money, the people knelt down to express their gratitude to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian helped them up.

"This is my duty, my fellow villagers. There's no need for you to do this. Take your belongings back and live a good life."

The people were all in tears.

In the past two years, they have not only been oppressed by the bandits of Waquan Village, but they have also suffered in silence and had nowhere to seek redress for their grievances.

Now Xu Tian has not only wiped out all the bandits in Waquan Village, but also recovered all their wealth.

They treated Xu Tian as if he were their second parents.

"What is your name?"

"Earth melon! Hehe."

The man who got to the wheel stepped forward; he looked somewhat mentally challenged.

He always adds a "hehe" laugh when he speaks.

Xu Tian remained on the sidelines the whole time.

These people all have names in the financial records.

Xu Tian glanced at the man in front of him, but noticed something was wrong with the way the man was standing.

He beckoned Songren over.

Did you ask for that person's name?

Song Ren nodded.

But when he heard Xu Tian ask that question, he also felt that something must be strange about the matter.

"Your Highness suspects that person."

Xu Tian nodded.

"Did you see that man's attire? He's dressed in commoner's clothes, but look at his boots."

Song Ren followed Xu Tian's gaze.

It dawned on him.

"That is?"

Xu Tian snorted, "That's right, he was indeed wearing military boots."

What kind of common people can afford to wear military boots? These people can't even afford to eat, how could they possibly have the money to buy military boots?

Songren then walked over to the man's side.

"Who are you?" He grabbed the man's wrist.

Even with only half the force applied, the man was still unable to break free.

"I, I am naturally a villager of Chengtang Village!"

Although he was stammering, there was no longer any fear in his eyes.

A smile suddenly appeared on Song Ren's lips.

"The villagers of Chengtang Village?"
