The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 872

It should be noted that Xu Tian came prepared this time.

If he resists, Xu Tian could execute him first and report later.

Xu Tian's search of Li Shen's home this time yielded conclusive evidence, leaving Li Shen utterly shocked.

"Xu Tian, ​​how dare you frame this prince?"

"This is not my ill-gotten gains at all; it is money you embezzled. These boxes should be in your residence; how did they end up in mine?"

Xu Tian watched as Li Shen tried to argue his way out of it.

"How did the prince know? These boxes should belong to my residence. Did the prince move these boxes into my residence before?"

Li Shen remained silent.

Xu Tian led the person directly to the Imperial Study.

Li Shen cried out that he was wronged in front of Li Er.

"Father, I am innocent! Xu Tian has wronged me! Please do justice for me!"

Li Shen scrambled and crawled toward Li Er.

“Father, these things originally belonged to Xu Tian’s family, but I don’t know why they ended up in my courtyard.”

Xu Tian stood to the side watching Li Shen spout nonsense.

Li Er already knew the whole story.

He was utterly disappointed in his son.

"Li Shen, things have come to this point, and you still dare to lie to me with your eyes open. You really are a filial son!"

Li Er was furious.

He then immediately ordered Li Shen to be imprisoned and punished.

Li Shen collapsed to the ground.

He didn't even realize what was happening.

That's how things have turned out.

All of this was done by Xu Tian, ​​and he now sees Xu Tian as a thorn in his side.

But there was nothing that could be done about him.

I originally intended to punish him, but I never expected that I would end up reaping the consequences of my own actions.

He absolutely cannot let Xu Tian off easily.

"Father, I am innocent!"

Even after he knew he was being dragged out, he was still shouting.

Li Er waved his hand, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Of all his sons, three have already become rebellious.

He then let out a long sigh.

"Xu Tian, ​​you should go back first. I want to be alone for a while."

Xu Tian returned to the mansion.

This time, the butler redeemed himself by doing good.

He did not blame him.

After all, he was also burdened by his family. "From now on, if your family ever needs money again, you must tell me immediately."

The butler nodded directly.

He has learned so many lessons from this incident.

He would never dare to do that again. He knew the prince was clever; even they had been discovered by the prince before they even started.

But to his greatest relief, nothing happened this time.

Xu Tian simply told him to leave.

"Work hard in the manor from now on, and treat your family the same way you did before. Don't let them feel like they're a burden to you."

The butler thanked him and left.

"Your Highness, the Tenth Prince will surely hold a grudge about this incident, and his allies will definitely help him, I wonder?"

Songren said worriedly.

Xu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Although he doesn't think he can overcome every difficulty.

However, with extra caution, it's still possible.

Dealing with people like Li Shen.

He also needs to be cunning.

You must already know everything. Right now, all I can do is protect the people around me.

Then protect yourself.

Whatever Li Shen plans to do to him, whether it's revenge or whatever.

He had to strike first. Killing Li Shen was impossible, but he still had to handle this matter properly.

Songren was worried that the Tenth Prince would be a threat to Xu Tian, ​​as that person's cunning and shrewdness were unmatched by ordinary people.

Even after entering prison, he still wouldn't calm down.
