Chapter 234 Interrogating Mei Qianluo

The next day.

The rising sun casts a mild radiance.

Zheng Ming got up lazily, and under the service of Wei Yu, he put on a neat suit.

As soon as he stepped out of Fengyi Hall, Yuhuatian was already waiting outside the door.

"His Majesty!"

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go, let's meet those guests from yesterday."

Afterwards, a group of people passed through the side entrance of the palace and walked towards the Jinyiwei yamen.

"Your Majesty, this is the proceeds from previous house raids, and the money has already been sent to the inner treasury."

While walking, Yu Huatian took out a booklet and handed it to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming opened the booklet and glanced over it.

"That's quite a lot!" He chuckled lightly.

This rebellion affected many people. The royal family alone had seven princes and more than a dozen county kings, as well as many official families and honorable princes.

Counting only silver taels, there are hundreds of millions of taels, and there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, shops and yards, and land deeds for farming.

In terms of money alone, it is more than that of Bailianzong, but the most precious thing of Bailianzong is not floating money, but those exercises, cultivation resources and so on.

Now Zheng Ming finally understands what is "Heshen falls, Jiaqing is full".

"Is this only from Kyoto?" Zheng Ming asked.

"Well, Dongchang is responsible for the ones outside the capital, and it will probably take a few days to get the statistics." Yu Huatian said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

It's just that there are so many in Kyoto, and if you count the ones outside of Kyoto, it is estimated to double.

With this money, he can finally flex his muscles.

What can you do with money?

As an infrastructure maniac, Zheng Ming had brought this attribute into full play when he was in Shanhai County. Now that he is sitting on the Dali throne, he will naturally continue to have such an excellent attribute.

But if you want to build infrastructure, you have to prepare one thing first.

"Little Fuzi, go to the Ministry of Industry and ask, how is the cement research going?" Zheng Ming asked Xiao Fuzi next to him.

The manufacturing process of cement is actually very simple. It is nothing more than calcining clinker from limestone, clay, iron ore and coal, and then grinding it into cement.

Zheng Ming didn't know the exact ratio, but he only needed to know a rough idea, and the rest could be handed over to the Ministry of Industry to study slowly.

Now the Ministry of Industry has set up a research department to specialize in the research of all kinds of strange things, and cooperate with the ordnance research department in charge of the governor's government.

Regarding the process of cement, Zheng Ming had actually ordered people to study it when he was in Shanhai County, but the finished product was somewhat inferior, the strength was not high enough, and the key manufacturing process was not simple enough.

So now Zheng Ming handed it all over to the Ministry of Industry for research.

Xiao Fuzi responded, and immediately called a servant, and gave a few instructions.

With money in hand and no panic in his heart, Zheng Ming is in a good mood.

The predecessor of Jinyiwei Imperial Prison was the Shadow Guard Prison, which was located under the Jinyiwei Yamen, and it was the most heavily guarded prison in Dali.

However, it is not an easy task to imprison the Grand Master and the Great Grand Master. In order to prevent the prisoners among them from escaping, Zheng Ming specially asked Gong Shuchou to strengthen the prison and set up more organs.

Stepping into the imperial prison, I immediately felt a burst of dampness, and Zheng Ming didn't care.

Under the guidance of Xie Chen, they soon reached the bottom of the prison.

More than a dozen cells are already full of people.

Miao Yun and others from the Wuman tribe, Feng Rumeng and others who made trouble in the capital before, and Mei Qianluo who just moved in yesterday, are all here.

The chains passed through their lute bones, and their bodies were covered with dark red blood, looking very miserable.

Of course, when Zheng Ming appeared in the corridor, everyone in the cell raised their heads, each with different expressions.

Hate, numbness, pleading, etc., are all different.

"Your Majesty Li Huang, the villain knows that he is wrong, and the villain is willing to serve His Majesty Li Huang. I beg His Majesty to let the villain go."

A shrill begging for mercy sounded, breaking the lifeless silence.

Zheng Ming followed the sound and asked, "Who is he?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this person is Feng Rumeng, the grand master of the Great Jin Dynasty. When I asked Xin Yuanchen to kill him last time, this person wanted to enter the palace to steal, but was captured by Lord Baifeng." Xie Chen explained.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, but ignored it.

You want to go out after entering here, what a joke.

If the great master sincerely surrendered, he might be able to forgive him. Of course, the premise is that he is sincere enough, and it would be a disaster not to let it out.

As for Grandmaster, just stay here honestly.

Afterwards, Zheng Ming came to Mei Qianluo's cell.

"If you want to kill or cut, Li Huang can do whatever you want, there is no need to treat me like this." Mei Qianluo said with a sad expression, lowering her head.

Zheng Ming smiled slightly, and said, "Ms. Mei can be considered a heroine, why is she so decadent? I won't kill you."

"But you won't let me go." Mei Qianluo raised her head, revealing a pair of dim eyes.

"Perhaps people from the Heavenly Outer Sect will come to rescue you." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

Mei Qianluo shook her head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Li, don't need to test, I will not betray the Heavenly Outer Sect."

"Really?" Zheng Ming smiled lightly.

"Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that life is worse than death."

"Jinyiwei has hundreds of torture methods, but I think these are nothing. If you want to defeat a great master, physical pain is far less effective than psychological pain."

He looked at Mei Qianluo who was locked in the cage, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bundle, whip, candle~~
Ahem, I am a good young man, how could I have such evil thoughts.

"What do you want to do?" Mei Qianluo looked a little panicked.

Zheng Ming said with a smile: "There are many men in Jinyiwei Prison, you know."

Mei Qianluo is a woman, her biggest weakness is her body.

It is said that although Mei Qianluo is older, her appearance, posture, and temperament are far beyond comparison.

"Li Huang's actions are against the way of benevolence and sages." Mei Qian gritted her teeth in frustration, and raised her head full of hatred. A pair of deep eyes penetrated the slightly messy hair and stared at Zheng Ming's face. .

Zheng Ming shrugged and said casually: "As my enemy, don't you find it ridiculous that you actually tell me the way of benevolence and saintliness?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. After three years, maybe there will be a few more children in this prison, but I don't know who their father will be."

"Hey, such a blessing really shouldn't let a traitor succeed, thank you, why don't you come?"

Behind him, Xie Chen burst into cold sweat on his forehead.

"Your Majesty~ I dare not."

Zheng Ming flicked his sleeves and said, "Coward."

"Facing a peerless beauty like Mrs. Mei, you dare not dare."

"Death under the peony flower, it is also romantic to be a ghost."

Xie Chen lowered his head and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the minister's wife is Princess Yuanhe."

"..."

Zheng Ming looked up at the damp ceiling.

Careless, I forgot that this guy is still my brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law asked the second brother-in-law to do such things, ahem, it is really a pit sister.

"Madam Mei really doesn't want to?"

He looked at Mei Qianluo again.

Mei Qianluo bit her lower lip, her face was pale, her eyes stared fiercely at Zheng Ming's face like a wounded lion.

Humiliation, such humiliation made her feel extremely angry, she wished she could kill Zheng Ming with her eyes.

Feeling the two venomous gazes, Zheng Ming said flatly: "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

He waved his hand and said, "Thank you, you can make arrangements."

"I obey the order." Xie Chen said without hesitation.

Mei Qianluo suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want to know?"

She doesn't want to experience the feeling that life is worse than death.

The corners of Zheng Ming's mouth were slightly raised, and he secretly praised himself in his heart.

Risby!

It worked perfectly.

"Where is Tianwaizong?" He asked.

"Outside the sky." Mei Qianluo said.

Zheng Ming frowned, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Ms. Mei is still unwilling to cooperate?"

Mei Qianluo's eyes moved helplessly, as if he was still hesitating.

After a while, she slowly raised her head, her pale lips moved slightly, and said, "The Heavenly Outer Sect is in the land outside the sky, not in the Nine Realms of China."

Zheng Ming was shocked and asked, "How to get to Tianwaizong?"

"Outsiders can't go." Mei Qianluo said.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Ming asked puzzled.

Mei Qianluo took a deep breath, looked up at him, and said, "I can tell you everything, but you must let me go."

"Let me live."

The psychological defense line has been defeated, and at the same time, the desire to survive has been stimulated.

Zheng Ming smiled gently and said, "As long as you tell me everything about Tianwaizong, I will let you live well. And I will not restrict your freedom."

Mei Qianluo's dim eyes became a little brighter, and said: "The Heavenly Outer Sect doesn't exist, it's just a cover created by us in Nine Regions Shenzhou for convenience."

"The real Tianwai Sect is called the Tianyun Dynasty, but the Tianyun Dynasty has been destroyed, and we are just the remnants of the Tianyun Dynasty."

"We live in a small cave, and if we want to enter the cave, we have to go through the portal, but the stone of the cave is in the hands of Emperor Zun, and only Emperor Zun can open the portal."

"Without Emperor Zun's permission, outsiders cannot enter at all."

Zheng Ming was stunned when he heard this.

There seems to be a lot of information contained in these words.

In particular, the existence of the small cave surprised him even more.

"Small cave? An independent space?"

"It can be understood in this way." Mei Qianluo explained: "There are many caves in the world, big and small, good and bad. The small cave we live in is a very ordinary cave. almost."

"Is that fairyland also a cave?" Zheng Ming said with his eyes brightened.

However, Mei Qianluo denied his guess and said, "No, the land of immortality is the place of cultivating immortals."

"Where is the place to cultivate immortals?" Zheng Ming asked.

Mei Qianluo said lightly: "Starting from Jiuyu Shenzhou, sail southeast for [-] miles and you will arrive."

"Wait! Let me stroke it."

Zheng Ming frowned and said, "First of all, Immortal Land and Jiuyu Shenzhou are in the same world, right?"

"Yes!" Mei Qianluo said.

"Then, the so-called fairy land is located [-] miles southeast of the Nine Realms Divine State, right?" Zheng Ming asked again.

"Yes."

"There are still many caves in this world. Although these caves are independent spaces, they are attached to this world, right?"

"It can be understood in this way." Mei Qianluo replied.

"The fairy land is the legendary land of Shang Yu?" Zheng Ming asked again.

However, this time Mei Qianluo shook her head and said, "No, the land of Shang Yu is a land of spiritual desolation just like the Nine Realms of China."

"What's the meaning of the land of spiritual waste?" Zheng Ming asked.

Mei Qianluo said: "It is a place where there is no aura of heaven and earth, or where the aura of heaven and earth is weak, and it is called a land of spiritual desolation by the cultivators of the fairyland."

Zheng Ming lowered his head and asked again: "What is the fairy palace?"

"It should be an assessment palace set up by a certain fairy land force to select disciples."

Mei Qianluo lowered her head and said, "We haven't been to the Fairy Palace, so we don't know much about the Fairy Palace."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "The Tianyun Dynasty used to be a dynasty in the Immortal Land, right?"

"En." Mei Qianluo said.

"The reason you want to collect the Emperor's exercises is to return to the fairy land." Zheng Ming said again.

"En." Mei Qianluo's voice was a little low.

"The aura of the Nine Realms Divine Land is so thin that it is impossible for people to break through to the level of a Grand Master, and the cave we have is the same. Therefore, Emperor Zun wants to break through to the level of a Grand Master through the Emperor's Kung Fu."

Zheng Ming laughed when he heard this.

In this way, the emperor mentioned by Mei Qianluo is also a great master.

It's just that the cultivation base of the great master doesn't pose much threat to him.

"Besides these, what else do you know about Xiandi?"

Mei Qianluo shook her head, and said: "I don't know much, I have never been to Xiandi, and we have cut off contact with Xiandi for more than 3000 years, and our understanding of Xiandi only stays in the records."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

"If you want to go to the fairy land, how should you go?" He asked again.

"Fly over." Mei Qianluo said.

"Can't you use a boat?" Zheng Ming frowned slightly.

Although [-] miles is far away, it is not too far away. If you sail by boat, if there are no accidents, you should be able to reach it in a few months.

Mei Qianluo said in a low voice: "There are many monsters in the sea area, the closer they are to the fairyland, the more they will attack the ships."

"According to our ancient records, there are monsters over a kilometer in size in the sea area of ​​Xiandi, and they can set off huge waves in a breath."

Zheng Ming couldn't help but clicked his tongue. There are still such things as monsters.

Afterwards, he pondered for a while, and asked: "3000 years ago, how did you come to Jiuyu Shenzhou from Xiandi?"

Since they came from fairyland, there is naturally a way to cross the vast sea.

Mei Qianluo said in a low voice: "Take the flying boat, but our flying boat has been damaged and can no longer sail."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

I know almost everything I should know, and the rest are some detailed questions. Zheng Ming didn't continue to ask, but handed it over to Xie Chen.

"Arrange a better cell for Mrs. Mei, so that I can entertain you."

He gave an order, then turned and left the prison.

This time the harvest is not small, and then he has to reorganize his thinking.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zheng Ming sat on the dragon chair and began to meditate.

Immortal land is still a bit far away for him and Da Li, so it's better not to think about entering the immortal land on a large scale in a short time.

However, some arrangements still need to be made. You can arrange people to enter the fairyland in advance to get a feel for the specific conditions of the fairyland.

The Immortal Palace is undoubtedly the best channel to enter the Immortal Land.

"So the key point is still in Xianling Palace." Zheng Ming tapped on the table, thinking.
