"He was beaten." Gu Jin'an was startled, his voice carrying an understanding that he had already suspected.
Young Master Dou nodded, "Yes, he was whipped twenty times by the Yulin Army, and his entire back was torn apart."
Back then, he had bought the rank of a Yulin Army Spear. Now returning to the Capital, he would invite a few Yulin Army members for drinks. He had a good relationship with them and could buy some news from the palace, so he knew quite a bit.
"The back completely torn apart!" Gu Jin'an was utterly shocked. How could this happen? Wasn't Lord Qi a favorite of the Emperor? Is the Emperor ignoring the words of his favored officials now?
He was very worried: "That must be a severe injury. I wonder if it will leave any internal damage."
Young Master Dou: "It shouldn't. The Yulin Army colonel performing the punishment knows Lord Qi is the Emperor's favorite and held back. It shouldn't have injured the internal organs."
