The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 880

The thought of Xu Tian dying filled him with immense joy.

They knew that as long as Xu Tian died, they would be able to help Li Shen ascend to the throne.

At that time, let alone Li Zhi, even if all the princes were gathered together, it would be of no use.

They will eliminate those princes one by one.

Those stumbling blocks were nothing to them.

The only obstacle now is Xu Tian.

But Xu Tianyue is about to perish.

They refused to believe that anyone could save him from this predicament.

They rescued him from prison.

Even if someone wanted to rescue him, they could probably only save Xu Tian's body.

The Minister of Justice was taken to the prison.

He looked down at Xu Tian, ​​who was locked inside.

He burst into laughter.

His voice could even be heard outside the cell.

"Xu Tian, ​​you never thought you'd end up like this, did you? Let me tell you, this day next year will be your death anniversary. Today, you will surely die."

The Minister of Justice looked brimming with confidence.

He refused to believe that Xu Tian could escape alive once he was on his own territory.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, he would never let Xu Tian escape from here.

A frail scholar like Xu Tian would probably be left barely alive after being subjected to torture.

Then they can frame him for another crime.

Even if he dies, he will be infamous for eternity.

Xu Tian slowly raised his eyes.

He looked at the treacherous villain in front of him.

"Minister, you're afraid, aren't you? Afraid that once I leave here, you'll be the first person I settle accounts with."

Xu Tian spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Although they already had all the evidence.

However, even Li Er has already spoken.

They should investigate this matter thoroughly before holding anyone accountable.

If they come at this time and arrest Xu Tian to extract a confession through torture...

This completely goes against His Majesty's wishes.

If the Emperor were to punish them, they would be unable to bear the consequences.

Therefore, Xu Tian believed that they probably didn't have the guts yet.

The Minister of Justice snorted coldly.

"Xu Tian, ​​you can only blame yourself for being a busybody. If it weren't for your meddling and your poor judgment of character, you wouldn't be in this predicament today."

"Even if you descend to the Yellow Springs, never come looking for me. The one who truly killed you was not me."

The Minister of Justice did not take any action, but began to shirk responsibility.

He wasn't afraid of the living, but he was afraid of the dead.

If Xu Tianzhen really becomes a vengeful ghost after he dies and haunts him, he feels it's best to clarify things as soon as possible.

Because the person who really wanted to kill Xu Tian was Li Shen.

He himself was determined to kill Xu Tian.

But he didn't have that right.

Xu Tian is, after all, a prince.

The Minister of Justice directly ordered his subordinates, "Bring Xu Tian to me. I need to ask him some questions."

The guards under his command quickly opened the cell door.

Xu Tian was not taken out by them.

The Minister of Justice shouted loudly.

"Whose servants are you anyway? Do you dare disobey my orders?"

After some coercion and enticement, the guards prepared to bring Xu Tian out.

At this crucial moment, Li Zhi appeared.
