After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan quickly agreed, "Don't worry, sir, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Youxiao came to Fan Yongdou's side, lowered his head to look at him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a relaxed tone: "This time it's your turn. Tell me, how do you want me to deal with you?"

"Now you and your family are all in my hands. What do you think is better, that the whole family be executed? Or should we do the same as that man just now, and drag them all away and torture them to death?"

"The men in your family might be able to do it, but there are so many women in your family. If this falls into the hands of my men, they will be thrown into prison. Oh, it's cruel just to think about it."

Fan Yongdou raised his head and looked at Zhu Youxiao, his face flushed, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"You're sensible." Zhu Youxiao looked at Fan Yongdou with admiration, then stood up straight and said, "I want to know how long you've been doing this business? Who are you doing business with? And who did you bribe? How did you get them to open the loopholes for you?"

"Besides that, I'd also like to know who else is doing this business in Zhangjiakou? Are these people cooperating with you?"

"You actually want to kill everyone?" Fan Yongdou looked up at Zhu Youxiao, his face full of disbelief.

Fan Yongdou asked, "Are you crazy? Do you know how many people are involved in this?"

Shanxi merchants are a very large group, not just Fan Yongdou.

Fan Yongdou was born and raised in Zhangjiakou, his family having lived here for generations. But he wasn't the only one truly doing business in Zhangjiakou. Because Fan Yongdou was a local tyrant, he loomed larger and more prominent.

But the real people behind the scenes were all Shanxi merchants. Unlike Fan Yongdou, many of them were officials, and some even had close ties with the officialdom.

For example, Wang Zaijin, the governor of the three borders at that time, came from the largest Shanxi merchant family, engaged in salt and various smuggling businesses; and Zhang Siwei, the chief minister of the cabinet at that time, also came from a family that did the same.

Since realizing the benefits of power, the merchants in Shanxi began to cultivate their own people and send their children to school. Even if their own children were not good enough, they would pay officials to educate their children and package themselves as scholars, while doing business in private.

If it's just one or two, it's no problem. But if they all start moving, it's a big problem. Even the Duke of Edinburgh can't handle it.

Fan Yongdou looked at Zhu Youxiao and felt even more afraid.

The person in front of me is a lunatic!

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said, "I know who you are talking about, and I also know who is behind those people."

"It doesn't matter. No matter who it is, no matter who is involved, you can tell me. As for the final result, I will let you see. Remember one thing: times have changed."

Fan Yongdou still couldn't believe it, but in the current situation, he had nothing to say. It was not worth it to hide it for those people. The most important thing now was to protect himself.

Fan Yongdou looked up at Zhu Youxiao and asked, "If I tell you everything, can you save my life?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. You know what you've done, and you should also understand the situation of your family. Your life is definitely not going to be saved."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Look at the two people next to you. Do you think your life can be saved? But if you are willing to speak out, I can give you a preferential treatment."

"What preferential treatment?" Fan Yongdou looked up at Zhu Youxiao and asked.

Fan Yongdou hadn't expected his life to be in jeopardy. After all, the secret had been exposed. Judging from the people who had been arrested, most of his crimes had probably been uncovered.

The reason why this playboy said all this and was willing to talk to him was simply because he wanted him to confess more people.

"I can leave you with an heir." Zhu Youxiao looked at Fan Yongdou and said with a smile, "I can also spare the women in your family and keep them from being imprisoned. How's that? Isn't that a good offer?"

After hearing this, Fan Yongdou fell silent.

This condition is indeed good, but people always don’t want to die.

Fan Yongdou looked at Zhu Youxiao and said with a smile, "Okay!"

"I say, you should have searched my house, right? I believe you should be able to find an account book, but it only contains my own evidence, so I can't say anything about others."

"But Zhangjiakou is a very small place. I know exactly who's doing what business here. I can tell you."

"As for the officials, do you think that only the officials here are involved? That's impossible. How high are the officials here? They can't protect us."

"Who wouldn't be jealous of such a big business? Those high-ranking officials have their eyes on this place and naturally know the income from our business. They definitely can't refuse to pay, and they can't give less. So if you want to investigate, you might find it all the way to the capital."

"I don't care." Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "No matter who it is, I don't care."

"What a courage!" Fan Yongdou said admiringly, "Where do I go to confess? Right here?"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head.

It is impossible to let Fan Yongdou speak here.

Turning to look at Cui Yingyuan, Zhu Youxiao said, "I've handed him over to you. Interrogate him thoroughly, don't use torture, and don't let him die."

"Yes, sir." Cui Yingyuan agreed quickly.
