Chapter 635

~2 min read 251 words

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes fell into Lin Shi's eyes, seeing only determination.

She took a deep breath, looked coldly at the courtiers with her phoenix eyes, and then her voice rang out.

"Men, grant the steel needles!"

She looked at Lin Shi and said loudly.

"The country has state laws, and the family has family rules. You are holding the Great Proclamation to enter the palace to file a petition to the Emperor according to the Founding Emperor's rules, wanting to accuse the entire Supreme Court, so I will also follow the Founding Emperor's rules."

"But what I can be sure of is that if what you said is true, I will give you an explanation, and everyone involved, none of them will be able to run!"

Instantly, Lu Wen's whole body shook, and fine cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Soon, the black roller was lifted onto the main hall, about half a person wide, and its surface was covered with small steel needles.

Shangguan Wan'er said unbearably, "The Founding Emperor's move was not to kill people, so the surface of the steel needles was passivated. The person doing it is experienced, but the pain is not something an ordinary person can endure!"

"Are you sure you want to continue accusing the entire Supreme Court?"

Not accusing officials would greatly reduce resistance; one could be granted extra-legal grace, and the hundred officials would not be aggressive. Continuing to insist on justice meant suffering the punishment of rolling on steel nails!
