The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 894

Meanwhile, in the Tenth Prince's residence, the loss of the steward's jade pendant had caused unrest among everyone.

When Li Shen's wife returned to the mansion and saw the steward making such a fuss, she asked him why.

The housekeeper was very heavy-hearted.

He directly explained the whole story.

"Your Highness, you must do me justice! I don't know which blind servant stole my jade pendant."

Li Shen's wife glanced at the guards gathered there.

Although the Tenth Prince's residence already has enough guards.

But nowadays, almost all the guards are in the courtyard.

"Is anyone guarding the woodshed right now?" Li Shen's wife asked.

One of the guards replied, "Reporting to Master, there are still two newcomers watching over the woodshed."

Li Shen's wife breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone was watching over them.

He then told the housekeeper to look for it again the next day.

"What time is it already? Why make such a fuss? Whatever it is, let's do it tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she said to the steward, "Come with me to the woodshed first."

Now is the crucial moment. If Cheng Nianhua can succeed tonight, then they will have nothing to worry about.

As long as Xu Tian can die, she doesn't care what price she has to pay.

Because once Xu Tian dies, Li Shen will be released from the prison.

When they arrived at the woodshed, there was no one guarding it anymore.

It's quiet outside; there's not a soul in sight.

There were no guards, not even a fly passed by.

"Go in and take a look quickly."

The Tenth Prince's Consort then sent someone in to investigate.

Those who went in didn't dare to lift their heads when they came out.

"What about people?"

The Tenth Prince's wife was already trying her best to suppress her anger.

“They’re gone. There’s no one left inside.” After saying that, the guard knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Everyone in the Prince's residence knew how formidable the Tenth Prince's Consort was.

Now the whole family has disappeared.

I'm afraid all the people they sent to guard here will be killed along with them.

Even the butler was so frightened by the news that his legs went weak.

He collapsed to the ground.

The Tenth Prince's Consort turned around and looked at the steward.

Her hands were clenched tightly with anger.

"Is this what you've done? I, the Crown Princess, entrusted this place with heavy guard, but I never expected you to transfer everyone away just for your own jade pendant."

"Its crime should be punished."

After uttering those words through gritted teeth, she suppressed all her anger and said with eyes full of fury, "Drag the steward out, and because of the thirty-year-old, beat all the guards who are on duty here tonight to death with sticks."

Upon hearing this result, the housekeeper fainted from fright.

If it weren't for the fact that I've been a housekeeper here for decades...

He would probably be beaten to death with sticks just like those guards.

But thirty strokes of the cane is already quite severe.

With his old bones, he simply couldn't withstand it.

Li Shen's wife was furious; she was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

Now even her only bargaining chip has been taken away.

She knew it was Xu Tian who did it.

But how difficult it would be to bring these people back.

Xu Tian must have already made preparations.

If they try to arrest people again, they will only be walking into a trap.
