Li Yi arrived at the dungeon.
In the darkness, there were constant sounds of begging for mercy and wailing.
"I said!"
"I really don't say anything!"
"Let me go, please, let me go!"
"Please take the bucket away, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I said anything, please!"
"ah!"
"I really can't stand it!"
The little boss is already like a madman.
The wailing sounds also became feeble.
Even if we let him go now, he will no longer be the same as a normal person and has become a useless person.
The shrill scream moved all the internal machine monitoring experts present.
Cao Qingyan was surprised.
Everyone present has experienced how hard the bones of this little boss are, but what is the result?
Your Majesty used some tricks and he was defeated. He didn't even last for half a day before he surrendered.
It's really scary.
People who have not experienced it will never know the horror of waterboarding.
Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. There is another type called "mercury punishment," which is the most terrifying thing.
"Open the door!" Li Yi ordered.
"promise!"
The internal machine surveillance expert quickly opened the cell door and lit the torch immediately to restore the light.
The little boss, who was tied to the shelf, had been tortured to the point where he was no longer human.
From the looks of it, it seems as if all the seven souls and six souls are scattered.
When he was dragged out, he was completely disabled, lying on the ground, breathing frantically.
After a long time, he raised his head. His face looked like a withered one, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his spirit was broken.
"Your Majesty, I...I was wrong, please let me go, I will say anything, anything!"
He prayed frantically, and his appearance was no different from that of a madman. The ten fingers of his hands were scratched to pieces, the flesh was bloody, and the nails were gone.
This shocked Cao Qingyan and the others.
Isn't this kid going crazy after being tortured?
"Do you want to live?" Li Yi asked, his voice sounding like King Yama of the Underworld.
"I want to live. As long as you don't torture me with water, I'll say anything." He gasped for air.
The sound of dripping water had tortured him to the point of collapse, almost driving him crazy.
"good!"
"Tell me everything you know." Li Yi asked in a solemn tone.
The little boss was in agony, "I'll say it, I'll say anything!"
"The second young master just wants to take revenge on you. You destroyed one of his eyes and his future. It is impossible for a disabled person to serve as the head of the Zheng family, and the elders in the family will not agree, so he will use all means to deal with it. His Majesty takes revenge, and those aristocratic families and officials at all levels who have taken refuge in His Majesty are the first step."
"He should have started already!"
Li Yi's eyes were sharp, "Where is Zheng Xiangmo?"
Hearing this, everyone became nervous.
In just one day and one night, the entire Jiangnan Province's aristocratic families and officials at all levels suffered an almost devastating blow.
Dozens of aristocratic mansions were massacred, and more than a dozen officials were killed, with no less than a hundred people in total. If this continues, Jiangnan Province itself will be in chaos without Zheng Xiangmo's action.
Everyone present hated Zheng Xiangmo so much that even if they were killed, they would not be able to understand the hatred!
"I...I really don't know."
"However, I heard that he was recuperating in a temple."
"Yes, that's right there, a temple. I discovered it accidentally. All orders are issued from a temple."
The little boss was afraid that Li Yi wouldn't believe it, so he shouted heartbreakingly: "Really, I won't lie to you, really!"
temple?
Everyone was surprised.
First, he was surprised by Zheng Xiangmo's scheming to actually hide in a temple. In the past few searches throughout the city, only the temple, a place of pure cultivation, had been omitted.
Who would have thought that a temple to save all sentient beings would be the home of these murderous demons.
Another thing is that there are too many temples in Jiangnan Province. Almost all the people and officials in Jiangnan Province believe in Buddhism. There are no less than hundreds of temples in the entire Jiangnan Province. It is really difficult to find them. I don’t know how long it will take to find them, and it is easy to alert the snake.
"Come here!" Li Yi yelled
"No!" Cao Qingyan and the others shouted in unison.
"Quickly mobilize all the troops and surround Qingruo Temple immediately. No matter who it is, no one can enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
Li Yi's suppressed anger seemed to have found an outlet at this moment, and exploded instantly, "I want to kill Zheng Xiangmo with my own hands to comfort the souls of many people in heaven!"
Qingruo Temple?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this name.
Even the little boss showed an incredible expression, as if to say, how did you know.
The little boss kept an eye out. He only talked about temples. There were too many temples in Jiangnan Province. He searched for them one by one and couldn't find them for several days. Moreover, the Second Young Master would definitely discover them at this time.
But now, Li Yi mentioned Qingruo Temple in one breath,
It’s over! Your Majesty must know.
Li Yi lowered his head and looked down at him coldly, "You didn't expect that I already know your master's hiding place, right?"
The little boss was stunned and completely speechless.
Li Yi sneered, "If you tell the truth, I won't break your promise, but you are too smart, so you must die."
The next second, he shouted softly: "Someone, lock him in and continue!"
"Until he dies!"
"Ah!" the little leader exclaimed, "No, don't, kill me. Please kill me, Your Majesty, please give me a break. I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"It's too late!" Li Yi waved his hand and gave the order directly.
After leaving the inner machine prison dungeon, Cao Qingyan was still worried and said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Qingruo Temple is the largest temple in the capital of Jiangnan Province, and many people are believers in the temple. If we use troops, I'm afraid It will cause a big mess."
"Furthermore, Zheng Xiangmo has been operating in Jiangnan Province for so long, and he will definitely leave countless secret passages. If he attacks rashly, he may be alerted or even ambushed."
"Old slave, I think we should be prepared first."
I'm afraid Cao Qingyan is not the only one who thinks so. Suo Yi, Wu Songjiang and the others would probably think so too if they were present.
But the key point is that Li Yi doesn't think so.
Li Yi frowned and kept his gaze straight, "You want me to be a coward?"
"Ah, I don't dare!" Cao Qingyan knelt down to apologize.
Li Yi let out a long sigh, "I don't know, but do I still dare to wait?"
"Now Zheng Xiangmo is only attacking aristocratic families and officials at all levels in Jiangnan Province. What if he attacks the people of Jiangnan Province next time?"
"I can't just watch the people of Jiangnan Province suffer this, I can't bear it!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
They all knelt down.
They all know Li Yi's attitude towards the people. He can ignore anyone but the people!
Li Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's do this. Secretly mobilize the dragoons and internal machine monitors to move towards Qingruo Temple. Remember not to alert the enemy."
"No!" Cao Qingyan nodded in response.
Zheng Xiangmo has been found, the plan has been decided, and Li Yi returned to the palace immediately.
Just in case, the safety of the palace is also a top priority. Who can guarantee that Zheng Xiangmo will not jump over the wall and attack the palace?
Li Yi arrived at the palace and went straight to the harem, but after searching around, he found no trace of Ye Qingluan, not even Wu Sanmei.
"Where are the Queen and Concubine Wu?" Li Yi asked.
The maids all looked at each other and said they didn't know.
"Bold!" Li Yi's face changed drastically, "What do you do for food? The Queen and Concubine Wu don't know where they are. Why do I support you?"
The maids were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
No wonder Li Yi got angry, he was worried!
What time has it been? There is a chaos of war outside, and the Queen and Concubine Wu are missing. Isn't this fatal?
"Why are you still standing there, why don't you go look for it!" Li Yi was furious.
"snort!"
"Qingluan is really going too far. He doesn't even say a word when he goes out." Li Yi complained angrily.
Cao Qingyan suddenly smiled mischievously, "Your Majesty didn't return home last night, didn't he tell the Queen?"
"I...it's business." Li Yi's face turned red with embarrassment.
At this moment, a master of internal surveillance came quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I just found out that the Queen and Concubine Wu left the palace today. It was said that too many people have died in Jiangnan Province recently. They went I went to the temple to pray for blessings for the souls of the dead and to pray for Your Majesty."
When the two people heard this, they were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"What?"
Li Yi exploded instantly, almost roaring: "Went to the temple?"
