The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 957

"Cao Wang, you really don't consider yourself human!" Xu Tian muttered to himself.

He still didn't know who had done it, but it was definitely related to Cao Wang.

What he didn't expect was that Cao Wang had already cleared himself of the matter.

Xu Tian escorted all these people to the gate of Cao Wang's mansion.

Cao Wang was stunned when he heard the news.

He naturally knew who these assassins were.

If it weren't for his current mobility issues?

They had already gone down, giving Ma Wenyu a swift kick.

"I warned you long ago not to be too arrogant. But you wouldn't listen to me. Now look what's happened. You've fallen into the hands of the Yang Dynasty. Let's see if you'll even survive."

Cao Wang had already witnessed Xu Tian's prowess, so he naturally knew that Xu Tian was ruthless and would never let go of those who had harmed him.

They have all hurt Xu Tian now, which is why Xu Tianchao did such an angry thing.

Xu Tian quickly found out about this, and ultimately all the suspicions pointed to Ma Wenyu.

At first, Xu Tian thought that this matter was related to Cao Wang, but after investigation, he found that it was done by Ma Wenyu alone.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent, sir! Please save me!"

Xu Tian showed no mercy and arrested Ma Wenyu on the spot.

"Boss Xu, please let me go. I was confused for a moment and didn't mean to kill you."

"I really just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect those assassins to actually attack you."

Ma Wenyu is still trying to exonerate himself from his crimes.

But Xu Tian didn't buy it at all.

Xu Tian only knocked these men in black unconscious; he did not kill them.

"Songren, take all these people with you. When they wake up, they can be important witnesses."

He nodded.

Xu Tian didn't stand on ceremony with him at all and directly sent Ma Wenyu to the authorities for investigation.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that he had no way to escape, Ma Wenyu was so frightened that he immediately shifted all the blame onto Cao Wang.

“My lord, this matter was truly forced upon us by our master; it was not something that Xiaoming did voluntarily.”

When facing death, who wouldn't want to have a shield to protect themselves?

Cao Wang overheard the servants saying that Ma Wenyu actually wanted him to be a scapegoat.

I was filled with indignation.

“This Ma Wenyu is really shameless. I told him long ago that doing this has nothing to do with me, but I didn’t expect him to push all the blame onto me.”

Meanwhile, Ma Wenyu was still proclaiming his innocence.

“Your Highness, as you know, we commoners have no official status whatsoever. If the master didn’t instruct us subordinates to do these things, how could we dare to do them on our own?”

Cao Wang was soon summoned by the county magistrate, and he was immediately jolted awake from his illness.

At this moment, even my buttocks no longer hurt.

He knew it must be because Ma Wenyu had wronged him, and the county magistrate believed him.

The yamen runners who came to summon him carried him directly to the county yamen.

Cao Wang cried out that he was wronged.

"My lord, I've been wronged!"

Cao Wang knelt on the ground, pleading for his innocence while looking at Ma Wenyu.

"Sir, this matter was entirely decided by Ma Wenyu on his own."

"When he was doing this, the villain had already warned him not to get involved with the villain in any way."

"But I never expected that this despicable person would try to shift the blame onto me."
