When Luo Lingwei saw this monk, she couldn't help but clap and laugh. When the monk saw the people who were about to sit down, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood that he was finished this time.
"Xiaoqing, I'll leave this monk to you. We don't have much time left. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll have him explain everything." Luo Lingwei said to Xiaoqing.
After Xiaoqing received the order, the two scouts brought the monk to the back of the group. Xiaoqing took out a hairpin from her bosom and asked the quartermaster for a bit of salt. Xiaoqing ignored him and instead ordered someone to hold his hand down. Using a hairpin, she pierced a hole in his finger, and then after that, she sprinkled the salt on it. Because all of this happened so suddenly, the monk only felt that his finger was already numb from the pain. His ten fingers were linked to his heart. The pain almost caused the monk to pass out from the pain.
At this moment, not to mention the monk, even the two soldiers who were holding the monk down felt their scalps tingle.
"I just cut your finger. If you don't answer honestly later, I'll cut off all ten of your fingers and soak them in chili and salt water. Do you understand?" Xiaoqing looked at the monk expressionlessly, as if she was looking at an animal waiting to be slaughtered.
Ever since her revenge, Little Qing had changed. Although he couldn't see it on a normal day, he would still show signs of violence from time to time. Because of this, Luo Lingwei also provided Little Qing with a lot of psychological counseling, but it was all useless. But luckily, Ye Lianhe gave Luo Lingwei a suggestion. Since he couldn't change Xiaoqing's current situation, he couldn't let her hold back. Thus, Xiaoqing helped Ye Lianhe research some torture tools that could be used in the dark.
Due to Xiaoqing's extremely high talent as a craftsman, many of the torture instruments she produced made it so that Night Ripper was very satisfied. There were even some torture instruments that, as executioners, would feel fear and trepidation upon seeing them. On this trip, Luo Lingwei also let Xiaoqing take responsibility for the execution of the punishment. Because of this, Xiaoqing's violent mood was somewhat alleviated.
The monk had never experienced any kind of suffering. Now that he was frightened by Xiaoqing, he almost peed his pants in fright. At this moment, he was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic. In a few moments, he told everything that he knew.
After receiving the information, Xiaoqing went to report to Luo Lingwei.
Only now did Luo Lingwei realize that this Zen Master Wu Xin had been planning for a long time. Over the years, while colluding with the local rich and powerful families, he had also contacted the local thugs. It was as if the Bright Heart Temple of today had already become a filthy place where many of the fugitives became monks. However, they still licked their wounds like they did in the past.
However, the one-on-one battle from before had now turned into an organized team. Previously, the money used to build the Enlightenment Heart Temple was not only used to repair the temple halls, but was also used by Zen Master Shu Xin to buy weapons and build a fortress.
At this moment, the 'Enlightening Mind Temple' was like a fortress on a mountain. Even a good soldier would find it very difficult to defeat it in one breath. In this way, it was no wonder that Zhang Long had been reduced to such a miserable state.
After obtaining this information, Luo Lingwei sat on the horse and looked at the Enlightening Mind Temple's map. She couldn't help but shake her head as she smiled. Although this Zen Master Wu Xin was a ruthless person and was able to imagine that he would have today's situation, in the end he had never experienced a battle formation.
"Send the order to prepare the oil of fire. A group of people will be responsible for setting the mountain on fire. The rest of the soldiers will be waiting in ambush at the foot of the mountain. Since they're hiding here, we'll burn them together with them!" Luo Lingwei passed down the order.
When everyone heard this, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. As expected of a famous general, his actions are decisive and his expectations are godly. If it were anyone else, they would have thought of how to attack the mountain. However, they had overlooked a problem. These people were already dead. There was no point in attacking the mountain in such a manner. "If it was a fire attack that could completely destroy the enemy and conserve most of their strength, then the only other option left would be a fire one.
Before long, after the arrangements were made, a group of people surrounded the mountain and started setting it on fire. An hour later, the fire began to spread in the wind.
At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers were lying in ambush, patiently waiting. Time slowly passed. Finally, after four hours, a group of about seventy to eighty people ran out from the forest. They were all bald, wearing monastic robes, carrying blades and spears, and a few even had armor.
When these monks came closer, Luo Lingwei immediately ordered them to shoot. There was only the sound of "sou" and "sou" as the rain of arrows passed by. The monks fell to the ground one by one. Only a few of them had not been shot. At this moment, the two sides were fighting and did not dare to get up.
"The Empress has decreed it!" Those who want to live, don't die! " The messenger on the side shouted out to the soldiers, who rushed forward to capture the remaining monks.
This battle was a great one, but the fire within the mountain was too great. At this moment, there was no way for them to interfere.
"Empress, what should we do with this fire?" Zhang Long, who was standing to the side, watched the raging fire and could not help but feel worried.
At this moment, Lil 'White, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry. The fire will be extinguished if it rains tonight."
"Oh?" Luo Lingwei not only turned her head to look at Little White, but also doubtfully asked, "How did you know that it would rain tonight?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "To return to Sister Weiwei, Xiao Bai has been learning to pick herbs since childhood. Every time we enter the mountain, we have to look at the clouds on that day. If there are clouds going all the way east and west, and if there are clear skies over there, if the clouds are like waves rising up into the sky, it will rain in three days. In the morning, Little White had already seen it. In the morning, there was still fog in the mountains, so once the fire started, the fog in the mountains would naturally be driven up into the sky by the fire energy. Adding on earlier today, the clouds had already formed into a lake of water.
As Luo Lingwei heard this, she could not help but sigh with emotion. As someone who had received modern knowledge, he was actually not as knowledgeable as an ancient person.
After catching the group of monks, this matter was finally brought to an end. At this moment, the group of prisoners returned to the city.
That afternoon, they returned to the city. At this moment, half of the county magistrate court had been burned down by the fire last night. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to work there anymore.
However, in this way, Luo Lingwei's wish was fulfilled. She ordered people to place these thieves and monks together with Zhao Hu last night to capture those rich and heartless rich people and place them on the streets of the county city.
Because the Brightheart Temple was very famous within a hundred mile radius, many of the commoners were pilgrims. After hearing about this, they all came to see if it was true or false.
Among them, there was a young man in his twenties who seemed to have gone crazy when he saw this group of bandits. He was either crying or laughing.
