Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Er's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously touched his left arm.
”Long live the prince.” At this time, Luo Lingwei did not ask Li Jun about this matter, but instead turned around and smiled at Ye Lianhe. ”This official has a request, I don't know if Your Highness would agree.”
Ye Lianhe naturally knew what Luo Lingwei was asking for, so he nodded his head with a smile and said, ”Senior Messenger is handling a case, of course this king will give his full support.”
”That's fine. I will borrow ten elite soldiers from the prince to temporarily serve as yamen runners. How about it?” Luo Lingwei cupped her hands.
”It's just a small matter. If Lord Messenger has his eyes on anyone, just call them out.” Ye Lianhe nodded.
Luo Lingwei cupped her hands in thanks and then casually picked out ten elite soldiers. These ten people were all guards of the manor, so they naturally knew who Luo Lingwei was, and they were usually taken care of by Luo Lingwei, so they were all full of fighting spirit. Although they were all wearing armor, they all took the initiative to stand by the side of the bailiffs.
”Alright, someone, take off Li Er's sleeve. I want to check if there are any injuries on his hand!” Two soldiers walked up to Li Er, grabbed his shoulder, and tore open Li Er's sleeve. There was a scar on his hand, and although it had already healed, it could be seen that the wound was not deep, but it was very flat. It was indeed a wound made by a sharp weapon.
”How dare you, Li Er, actually dare to deceive me. Who else is with you? Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson! ” Luo Lingwei frowned and said to Li Er.
At this moment, Li Er's face was sullen, but he still bit his tongue and said he was innocent. Luo Lingwei nodded her head, and pointed at Li Er: ”Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. People are bitter bugs, can't be beaten up, people can't be beaten up like wooden sculptures. Where is the executioner! ”
Luo Lingwei told them where the executioner was, and Xiaoqing replied. She then separated the crowd and bowed to Luo Lingwei, Ye Lianhe, and the others.
”Xiaoqing, I will pass this Li Er to you for a quarter-hour. No matter the method, I want to know who he is with to seek wealth and murder!” As Luo Lingwei spoke, she handed one of the tokens to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing cupped her hands in a salute, then took out a few nails and a small wooden board from her bosom and walked towards Li Er.
Then, she ordered two soldiers to hold him down on the ground, and then placed the wooden board on Li Er's palm. She then ordered someone to bring out a small hammer, and placed the nail on Li Er's hand.
”Empress, I am wronged … ”Ahhh!” Before Li Er could even finish his sentence, he felt a heart-wrenching pain on the back of his hand, followed by a deafening scream of pain.
Xiaoqing didn't hesitate at this moment and directly hammered the nail through the back of Li Er's hand, nailing it to the wooden board beneath Li Er's hand.
”You're not admitting defeat!” Xiaoqing asked again.
At this time, Li Er was in so much pain that he grimaced in pain, unable to say a word. Xiao Qing then took out another nail and was about to nail it down, when Li Er cried: ”I admit defeat! ”My move!”
