The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 948

That would be a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of his entire family.

Li Zhi simply waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave.

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door from the outside.

Li Zhi immediately let the man in.

"Are all the dishes served?"

Li Zhi asked.

The waiter shook his head.

"Your Highness, the last dish was personally served by our boss."

Li Zhi nodded.

"You don't need to leave. You can stay here and serve!"

When he heard that Li Zhi wanted him to stay and serve him, the waiter was overjoyed.

Those who serve these important figures will receive generous rewards.

The man before them was none other than the current Ninth Prince.

He had plenty of money on him.

A moment later, Xu Tian walked in from outside.

He was holding the last dish, the grand finale, and after bowing, he placed it directly in front of Xu Tian.

Li Zhi slammed his hand on the table.

He shouted loudly at Cao Wang.

"Cao Wang, don't you know who the person sitting in front of you really is?"

Cao Wang was startled, wondering what he had done wrong. After being told this, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

It was also because they felt guilty.

Cao Wang felt his whole body trembling.

Li Zhi pretended to know nothing and yelled at him, "Do you know that the person in front of you is a prince personally appointed by the Emperor? You didn't even bow to His Highness the Prince. Do you think it's too tiring to carry your brother's neck all the time?"

Cao Wang was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

He had heard of Xu Tian's identity before, but because of a past conflict with Xu Tian, ​​he had never taken him seriously.

Every time I see him, I treat him like any other ordinary person.

More importantly, he never considered Xu Tian a friend.

It can only be a hostile situation from the very beginning.

Therefore, he never bowed to Xu Tian.

Li Zhi saw that Cao Wang still hadn't taken any action after listening to him speak.

Li Zhi stood up abruptly and glanced at the dish placed in front of Xu Tian.

Of all the dishes on this table, only that one dish was poisoned.

Li Zhi looked at Cao Wang in front of him, feeling extremely resentful.

To help Xu Tian vent his anger, he directly asked Cao Wang.

"Cao Wang, are these all your specialty dishes?"

Cao Wang nodded.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, concluding that Li Zhi was simply attracted by the dishes before him.

They completely forgot what had just happened.

So he quickly gave the Ninth Prince a serious explanation.

Li Zhi pointed to the dish in front of Xu Tian and said, "Since it was made by a chef from the Western Regions, it can't be too bad."

"You eat the whole dish from that plate."

Cao Wang looked in the direction Li Zhi was pointing; that dish was exactly the one he had poisoned.

Cao Wang's eyes widened instantly.

If he were to eat this dish, it would surely cost him his life.

"Your Highness, there is a rule in my shop: the dishes served to customers must never be tasted by the staff first."

Li Zhi knew that this old fox was deliberately avoiding the issue.

He wanted to save his life, but Li Zhi had no chance of letting him go.

"Since I, Your Highness, have ordered you to eat this, you'd better eat it right now, otherwise I can suspect that there's poison in your food."
