C198 (2/2)

”Servants, be seated for Zhi County.” Luo Lingwei did not know why this county was so special to her, but after seeing the people here, she had guessed that this county was certainly not a bad place, so she did not intend to torture him.

Zhixian got a seat, immediately felt fear and trepidation, went up to kowtow and thank, then sat down. Meanwhile, the venerable Zen Master was standing in the middle of the crowd, looking awkward and in a dilemma.

”Ascending Hall!” After waiting for everyone to rest for a moment, Luo Lingwei slammed the wood and shouted.

Following the majestic voice of the person standing in the queue next to them, the one who had been ordered by Luo Lingwei to be temporarily locked up, Monk Yuan Zhen, was brought up.

Even though it had only been one morning, this Daoist Master Yuan seemed to have become a completely different person. When he came to the main hall, he was looking around with his shifty eyes and a bald head.

”Brave Monk, I ask you, why did you slander me this morning? You said that I stole from your temple!” Why aren't you recruiting them from the ground! ”

Luo Lingwei shouted at the monk.

At this moment, Monk Yuan Zhen was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, ”Empress, please spare my life. This matter was caused by my two inferior disciples. I was also kept in the dark. Please forgive me.”

Seeing this, Luo Lingwei sneered: ”You monk, I gave you a chance, yet you kept quibbling. It seems you want to force me to use torture!” ”Come on, take this monk down and beat him forty times. If anyone dares to show favoritism, they will be punished together with this monk!”

When these words came out, the two sides sent people to pull the monk away. Not long after, Yuan Zhen's pitiful cries could be heard.

After hitting twenty times, this monk was unable to hold back and could only confess.

”Empress, this little monk admits defeat!”

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei ordered someone to drag him up.

”Empress, this little monk admits defeat. I beg of you, please stop hitting me.” Yuan Zhen said in a sobbing tone.

”Hurry up and say it!” Luo Lingwei slapped the wood and shouted.

Only then did Yuan Zhen hurry to speak.

”In reply to Empress, yesterday, when this little monk saw the Empress arriving, he knew that the carriage and horses were worth quite a bit of money, so he ordered his two disciples to take this opportunity to steal it away in the dark. However, they encountered two guards and experts, and my disciple, Chuu Chuanming, was captured and ran back to the temple to report the news.

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei nodded and said: ”So, you're not a proper monk?”
