The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 768

Just as Li Wanjun was about to be imprisoned by Li Er.

Xu Tian heard about this.

Upon hearing the news, he and Claire rushed to Li Er's tent.

Claire met the person who admitted to the massacre of the city years ago.

However, he was not the one who actually massacred the city.

This is just a scapegoat that person found.

She stated directly, "Someone saw the face of the general who massacred the city back then. If you are really that person, I will take you there to identify him now."

Li Wanjun never expected that someone would still be alive after the massacre of the city.

If he were recognized, his entire family would be killed by Dai Rongpei.

No? He can't take that risk.

You can't let your own actions lead to the death of your family.

Li Wanjun did this to save his family's lives.

“Princess, it is I, Li, who have wronged you and your people. Today, I am willing to atone for what I did.”

Whoosh!

Before anyone could react, Li Wanjun instantly drew the longsword from Claire's hand.

In an instant, he slit his own throat.

He apologized on the spot and then committed suicide.

Claire never expected that Li Wanjun would do such a thing.

She was completely terrified.

Xu Tian felt there was something strange about this. Why would Li Wanjun suddenly confess? And why did it happen just as Claire was about to take him in for identification?

He actually committed suicide.

It seems he was afraid of being recognized by that person, the one who massacred the city back then.

No, it should be that he was afraid of being recognized; he wasn't actually one of the people who massacred the city back then.

That's why he committed suicide so hastily.

Xu Tian believed that things must be like this.

He turned around and looked at Li Er.

"Your Majesty, I believe there is something fishy about this matter. I hope Your Majesty can entrust this matter to me and allow me to investigate it fully."

Although at the beginning, Li Er believed that Li Wanjun might be the real culprit who massacred the city back then.

But now that I think about it, there is something strange about this matter.

Xu Tian brought it up, and Li Er immediately nodded in agreement.

"However, you must be careful when doing anything."

Xu Tian has been assassinated more than once.

Although those people never got anything good out of it.

However, if you walk on water for too long, your shoes will eventually get wet.

He was still quite worried about Xu Tian.

Xu Tian cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

He was not afraid of powerful figures, and naturally he was not worried that the assassins could hurt him.

Claire has always wanted to find out who the real killer is.

Xu Tian said she wanted to investigate the matter, and she immediately knelt down in front of Li Er.

"Please, Your Majesty, release me so that I may go with the Prince to investigate."

Although she was a free person here, she had been detained by the guards under the guise of protection because of her assassination attempt on Li Er.

Li Er glanced at Xu Tian's side and finally agreed to Claire's request.

"Very well, only when you figure out the truth yourself will you stop misunderstanding me."

"Very well! You may investigate this matter together. I will grant you some special privileges. Whoever the ultimate culprit is, I will give you and your people an explanation."

After spending these days together, Claire had come to realize that the monarch before her was indeed a wise ruler.

However, it's uncertain about his subordinates.
