Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1922: Prime Minister

Hall.

A dozen men in black were tied up and thrown on the ground. Long Yi held a whip in his hand, rolling up his sleeves, interrogating one of the men in black...

"Speak, who sent you? Why did you want to kill Madam Situ?"

The man in black kept his mouth shut, staying silent with a look of fearless resolve.

Long Yi raised the whip and lashed fiercely: "You stubborn lot, I’ve been interrogating you all night and haven’t gotten a word. Let’s see if your bones are harder than my whip."

After speaking, he lashed out several more times brutally.

"Nng... ah... ah...!"

At first, the man in black gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, but eventually couldn’t hold back and screamed.

This whip in Long Yi’s hand was not an ordinary whip. While ordinary whips are smooth, this one had many small spikes. Every lash on the body was excruciating. Moreover, the whip had been soaked in chili water, and the sensation of it hitting wounded skin was imaginable.

"Speak, who sent you here?"

"Ah...! It’s your grandfather." The man in black, a tough guy himself, screamed while wailing, refusing to confess.

"Damn it...!" Long Yi was furious, exhausted from a night of interrogation, yet hadn’t gotten a single word. He drew a knife from his body, intending to kill the man in black and be done with it.

At that moment, the steward walked in with Xuexue...

"Madam." Long Yi saw Xuexue and then lowered the knife in his hand.

A dozen men in black were tormented by Long Yi throughout the night. Their clothes were all torn, and their bodies were ridden with wounds, yet still refused to confess.

Xuexue furrowed her brow and said, "Stop beating them. They won’t confess."

Long Yi: "Are we just going to let them go? That’s too easy for them. Madam, you shouldn’t be so merciful, let me beat them to death."

Saying this, Long Yi wanted to go forward and beat them again.

Let go? Xuexue sneered internally. She never easily forgave those who offend her, not to mention these people came to kill her. Unless she went mad, she wouldn’t let them go.

However, she was planning to use these men in black to topple the Prime Minister, so she could only temporarily let them go.

Xuexue: "Stop beating them; they are useful."

Hearing this, Long Yi paused, turned his head, and asked, "They won’t say a word, how can they be useful? Might as well kill them."

"Leave this alone, go find a dozen carriages and send the bodies outside to the Prime Minister’s Mansion."

Long Yi was stunned again, foolishly asking, "Madam, why send the bodies to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?"

Xuexue didn’t speak, her beautiful eyes were cunning. She clearly saw that when she mentioned sending the bodies to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, the faces of these men in black changed.

Xuexue: "Where they came from is where they’ll be sent back."

Long Yi stared at Xuexue in amazement: "Madam, do you mean they’re assassins sent by the Prime Minister?"

Before Xuexue could speak, one of the men in black lying on the ground yelled out loudly: "It’s nothing to do with the Prime Minister; we came to kill this woman."

The other men in black hurriedly scolded him: "Fool, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The man in black realized his mistake immediately, lowered his head, and fell silent.

With this, there was no need for Xuexue to say anything. Long Yi realized that these men in black were indeed assassins sent by the Prime Minister.
