The confession stated that Dou Zimo was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of gambling debts. Later, he was forced to pay his debts by the casino staff. Later, the shopkeeper Niu paid off his gambling debts for him, and thus they became acquainted with each other as an insider.
But Dou Zimo only knew that his boss was Shopkeeper Niu, but he didn't know who was the power behind Shopkeeper Niu.
"Let's go and see this Shopkeeper Niu." Zheng Xian stood up and said.
Shopkeeper Niu still stood firm. He was whipped, branded, and tortured with tongs one after another, but he still stood firm without saying a word.
When Zheng Xian came in, his men brought in a chair and he sat down carelessly opposite Shopkeeper Niu, who was tied to a wooden frame, his body covered in blood.
Zheng Xian snorted coldly: "Manager Niu, you are also a smart man. You know that this is just a snack for Hu Yasi, and the show that comes later is exciting. I have no other intention in coming here, I just want to see your performance, you guys continue." The last sentence was said to the people in the interrogation room.
This torture lasted for more than an hour. During this time, Zheng Xian did not ask him a single word, as if he had just come to be tortured.
At this time, an officer from the Tiger Yamen outside sent a document, saying that Manager Niu was dying.
Zheng Xian opened the document and read: "Niu Dachun's original name was Niu Chengye. He has run the Niu Family Oil Mill for fourteen years. Fourteen years ago, Niu Chengye was the housekeeper of Zheng Juzhong, the Prime Minister during the reign of the Emperor Emeritus. After Prime Minister Zheng's death, Niu Chengye left the Zheng residence and later opened a Niu Family Oil Mill on Qianjiemen in the capital, which remains to this day."
Niu Chengye, the shopkeeper, was terrified upon hearing Zheng Xian's words. The Tiger Yasi was truly remarkable; he had discovered his past in such a short time.
Zheng Xian put away the letter and said, "Manager Niu, you don't have to say anything. You know that even if you don't say a word, we, the Tiger Yamen, will be able to find out who is behind you. I don't know why you have been holding back like this. You can continue to be silent." Then he said to his men, "Try to use all the tortures we have in the Tiger Yamen. Don't worry about torture to death. If he wants to be a tough Tiger Yamen, we will grant his wish!"
After saying this, Zheng Xian prepared to leave the interrogation room without even looking at Manager Niu. Fan Guangtu and Wang Dabao also followed him out.
This is a signal. Whether you confess or not is of little significance to us, the Tiger Yasi. Even if you don't tell us, our Tiger Yasi's vast intelligence network can still uncover the mastermind behind your actions. You have been abandoned.
Finally, Shopkeeper Niu could no longer bear it and said weakly, "I confess! I confess!"
