The cronies, servants, and henchmen were arrested one by one, but Fan Wucheng in the Jiedu Mansion knew nothing about it. At this time, he was talking eloquently to Wang Kunjun and the other four committee members, elaborating on his plan to send more manpower to the five prefectures of Dingyan, increase capital investment, and strengthen cooperation with local merchants, with a view to opening up the westward trade route of the "Datong Commercial Bank" and finally allowing the Central Plains merchants to return to the Western Regions and realize the great idea of rebuilding the Silk Road -- the idea of opening up the Western trade route was that Fan Wucheng had already opened up the "Datong Commercial Bank" all over the north and south of the Great River, inside and outside the Great Wall, and it was difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to make a breakthrough in the short term in the areas under the traditional control of the Central Plains Dynasty. In order to demonstrate its own ability, to prove the importance of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and to expand the influence of the "Chase Trading Bank", a new development plan was put forward after some careful consideration.

Because the scale of this plan is too large and the manpower, material and financial resources required are extremely large, it is not the focus of the committee that focuses on the development of the team to realize the "Jianye No. 1 Action Jihua" at this stage and for a long time in the future. Now, in order to cooperate with the arrest of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, Wang Kunjun specially brought up this plan again, and summoned Fan Wucheng to Jiedu Mansion to discuss in the name of this.

Seeing that his grand plan had finally attracted the attention and interest of the committee, Fan Wucheng was naturally overjoyed. Without thinking much about it, he hurried to Jiedu Mansion with a few cronies and servants, and explained his views and plans to several members of Wang Kunjun in person. And it is precisely because this is a very large and complex plan that it is impossible to explain it clearly to Wang Kunjun and others. So much so that before Fan Wucheng began to explain, he deliberately stated to Wang Kunjun and others that if he wanted to understand this huge plan, it would not work in two or three days. If several brothers have something to deal with, please say hello to the younger brother in advance, so that the younger brother can arrange the speed of the explanation and divide the paragraphs reasonably. But how did Fan Wucheng know that it was something that Wang Kunjun and others couldn't ask for to keep his fourteenth man in the Jiedu Mansion for as long as possible, and how could the other party raise objections to the question he raised for a long time. So, after Wang Kunjun and other committee members agreed that it was okay and said that during this period, he could live in Jiedu Mansion, so as not to run between Fan's Mansion and Jiedu Mansion every day, Fan Wucheng nodded and agreed, and at the same time opened the thick stack of planning plans in front of him and began to explain endlessly. Little did he know that while he was in high spirits about his grand plans, his cronies and minions had been captured one by one, and all of them had been imprisoned in the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence.

At midnight on the 28th day of the 10th lunar month of the 8th year of Xiande, a carriage with an ordinary appearance and tightly sealed curtains and curtains slowly drove into the front door of a secluded house near the west city wall in Beiping City, and drove out of the back door shortly after. As the carriage departed, it was not until the early hours of the next morning that seven more carriages arrived. Moreover, these carriages are like an appointment, and they all repeat the behavior of the first carriage "front door in, back door out". Fortunately, the alley is in the middle of nowhere, and the surrounding houses and courtyards are mostly abandoned houses that have been uninhabited for a long time, so despite the strange behavior of these carriages, they have not attracted anyone's attention.

This secluded courtyard is the secret prison of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, and the eight carriages contained the servants and henchmen of Fan Wucheng's cronies who were arrested that afternoon -- although Fan Xiaosan and Fan Xiaoqi were also close associates of Fan Wucheng, because they were not on the arrest list authorized by the committee, although they were also controlled, they were not transferred to this secret prison, but were placed under house arrest in the office of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence. After dealing with Fan Wucheng and his cronies, it will be decided how to deal with them according to the situation.

Faced with the gloomy interrogation room, in the face of the terrifying torture instruments not far from him, in the face of the detectives of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence with a cold face and a serious expression, and in the face of the information in front of him that recorded his whereabouts in the recent period, whether it was Fan Xiaoer and other cronies and servants, or Liu Erxing and other henchmen, they were all quickly defeated in the confrontation with the interrogators, which made the time spent on their interrogation much shorter than previously estimated. This situation was somewhat unexpected by the agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, especially the three cronies and servants of the Fan Mansion, who had thought that they would be stubborn to the end and grit their teeth, were the first to confess and took the initiative to confess a large amount of information about their messaging with Liu Erxing, Gao Gui, and others that the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence did not have. Among the many interrogators, the only one who was resolute and did not completely collapse his psychological defenses until he put the confessions of several other accomplices, especially the cronies and servants of the Fan Mansion, was considered by the agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence to be the most unbearable and the most eloquent.

In the eyes of the detectives in charge of the interrogation, Gao Gui was weak and sick, and he used all kinds of torture tools, but he was afraid that the interrogation might be unbearable if it lasted a little longer. Unexpectedly, although this guy was weakened by the interrogation that lasted for several hours, and fainted several times due to fatigue, he just refused to wait, remained silent and did not say a word from beginning to end -- because this guy was not in good health, and it was very likely that he would be killed if he was tortured, so the detectives in charge of the interrogation could only use fatigue bombing to force him to confess, but did not dare to really use the torture instrument. Even later, in front of Fan Xiaowu's confession, Gao Gui had to nod and admit it, but it was Fan Xiaowu's confession that he confessed to what he said, and did not provide anything that Fan Xiaowu's confession did not contain at all -- such as the source of information involving military secrets that he could not access as a logistics officer. According to the noble saying, it is "a manly man, one person does things and one person is responsible", since the matter has been revealed, he is willing to bear the consequences for what he has done. Those who provide news to them are their good friends, and they cannot betray these life-and-death friends who risk killing their heads for the sake of righteousness in order to exonerate themselves.

Although Gao Gui was tough, the detectives in charge of the interrogation did not make him too embarrassed. On the one hand, everyone still admires such a man who values righteousness. On the other hand, and the most important aspect, it is that after this period of tracking and monitoring of Gaogui, as well as visiting and probing the people around him, the cadres of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence have roughly figured out who Gaogui usually contacts and his interpersonal network. On this basis, it is not very difficult to find the people who provide the information to them. Therefore, Gao Gui gritted his teeth and did not explain the new content, but the detectives in charge of the interrogation did not embarrass him too much - as long as he confessed to Fan Xiaowu's confession, he could already be convicted of leaking confidential information, and he would not be allowed to go unpunished.
