The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 955

Xu Tian felt that these two cold logics were actually quite normal.

However, the most fundamental purpose is still not to provoke him.

Given this, how could Xu Tian possibly let them go?

Of course not, he's the kind of person who always seeks revenge.

He wouldn't really be that soft-hearted towards anyone.

Having obtained all the evidence, Xu Tian immediately took Cao Wang to Li Er to confess his guilt.

Cao Wang didn't dare to go with him at all.

"Your Highness, please spare me! If this matter really reaches the Emperor, he will be furious and will surely execute my entire family."

Xu Tian gave Cao Wang a cold look.

"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done those things in the first place. If you hadn't done those things, you wouldn't be suffering this kind of retribution today."

Ultimately, it was your own mistake that you made, and you have to take responsibility for it.

"If you don't admit your mistake, everyone will misunderstand this matter. Have you been bullied by the Ninth Prince? Or has anyone around you been bullied by him?"

"I'm telling you, you people are never satisfied. You have to create chaos to have any peace. Now, aren't you regretting it?"

Cao Wang pleaded for him in every way, but Xu Tian still had no intention of letting him go.

After all, this matter concerns Li Zhi's future.

If everyone misunderstands him, his future path will be extremely difficult.

So no matter how much Cao Wang pleaded with him, Xu Tian did not care.

Even when asked to spare him, Xu Tian did not back down in the slightest.

"Today, you must pay the price for what you've done. You already knew that was the Ninth Prince, so why did you spread rumors and speak ill of him back then?"

"Tell me, is there someone backing you?"

Xu Tian led the person directly to the Imperial Study.

Xu Tian also went inside.

Upon seeing the Emperor, Cao Wang's legs went weak, and he instantly collapsed to his knees.

Cao Wang immediately knelt down on one knee, prostrating himself on the ground.

"Cao Wang, do you know your crime?"

Cao Wang bowed and scraped, acting almost like a machine.

"I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness. I know nothing about this matter. If I had known it was so important, I wouldn't have dared to speak even if you slapped me ten times!"

Cao Wang immediately staged a crying scene right in the middle of the main hall.

She was crying so hard her eyes were streaked with tears.

Xu Tian couldn't believe that a grown man could do such a thing.

It's all just about wanting to live my own life.

He could only shake his head helplessly in the end.

Li Er simply couldn't stand this person's crying and fussing.

Finally, he ordered Cao Wang to be flogged thirty times and then thrown out.

Xu Tian believed that Cao Wang would learn his lesson and stop bullying him.

Although Cao Wang was always the one who got injured.

Xu Tian was quite kind; on the way back, he gave Cao Wang a ride and took him directly back to the inn.
