Gu Jinghui didn't react to the earlier words, but was annoyed by the latter: "How could the Xu family end up like this, engaging in such a business? Do they not care about their descendants?"
Hong Ye hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Marquis may not know, but in the Capital City, those who make a living by lending money at high interest have significant connections, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to collect their debts."
Gu Jinghui was stunned.
Qin Yuan had seen quite a bit in her past life and had heard a little about it, she said: "I've heard this before. Those who can run a casino usually have connections in the government office, and they must pay a lot of silver to officials every year. With the protection of the office, the casino can continue to operate, otherwise, who wouldn't want to get a piece of such a profitable business? Those who lend money at high interest in casinos must also have some skills."
