As soon as Master Ma Jiu walked out of the gate of Qianxi Building, he heard the visitor whispering a few words in his ear and then he knew why Xu Xing had invited him.

He looked up at the third floor, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then retracted his gaze and got into the carriage.

"Go to Dali Temple."

Han Bin was the warden of the Dali Temple, and now he has died under unclear circumstances. Lord Xiao, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, found out about the huge gambling debt, so it is right for him to be questioned.

However, what he said was somewhat different from what he told Xu Xing.

The manager of the gambling house who was brought back was only responsible for part of the gambling, and Han Bin’s loan was not borrowed from him. After a few visits, when Xiao Hengshan realized that he had found the wrong person, the real person he was looking for, Ma Jiuye, came on his own initiative.

Generally speaking, gambling houses and brothels have financial backers behind them, who are rich and powerful, or whose money is dependent on some powerful person. Therefore, when beating a dog, look at the owner; if you don't look at the monk, look at the Buddha. Xiao Hengshan will not give the cold shoulder to others as soon as he arrives.

What's more, these places are major taxpayers to the court. They have sound procedures and operate reasonably. There is no need for him to offend anyone by just asking them questions.

Xiao Hengshan was also stunned when he saw Ma Jiuye. Scholars don't swear, but he couldn't help but cursed "damn it" in his heart. He was very moved and wondered if this was really the manager of the casino?

Master Ma Jiu politely greeted Xiao Hengshan and didn't even look at his subordinate beside him.

"Master Jiu, please take a seat. I'll serve you tea."

The treatment of Master Ma Jiu is very different from that of the small steward.

"I would like to thank Lord Xiao for his kindness."

Take your seat.

Serve tea.

Xiao Hengshan didn't beat around the bush and asked Han Bin directly.

Master Ma Jiu told Xiao Hengshan the source of Han Bin's debt, but in the end he said: "I thought he was an official and worked at the Dali Temple. Even though he owed a lot, I didn't dare to go to the government office or look for his family."

This really raises the government's reputation very high.

However, Han Bin was not the only one who was in debt from gambling.

Xiao Hengshan had heard about the scandals that had occurred in the past.

However, he did not expose Ma Jiuye's words. After all, if he was really lying to cover up something, there must be a deeper secret behind it.

"I want to see the account book of Han Bin's debts."

This is not a negotiation.

Master Ma Jiu nodded happily: "The government is checking the accounts, and I will naturally cooperate. I will send someone to accompany me back to the gambling house to collect the money later."

We operate with integrity and are not afraid of your investigations.

Ma Jiuye's willingness to cooperate made Xiao Hengshan a little uncomfortable. Although there were still many doubts, he still let Ma Jiuye go back.

Among those who went with him, there were naturally people from the government office who went to fetch the account books.

Xiao Hengshan quickly got the account book.

Han Bin initially borrowed only one hundred taels. Two days later, he borrowed another two hundred taels, and then... the debt became out of control.

And the interest on each loan is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger...

Xiao Hengshan turned to the last page and was stunned for a long time when he saw the huge number.

A small prison warden owed a huge gambling debt, but was willing to work for others. After killing someone, he committed suicide to protect the person behind the scenes...

The emperor is now ill and will not see anyone, and this matter hides a huge secret. What should he do?

Xiao Hengshan was overwhelmed, and so was the King of Qi who received the news.

Dali Temple is too fast!
