Chapter 349: An IOU

Someone on the side shouted to stop his hand and made a gesture of wanting to meddle in this matter, but Yu Xia didn't raise his head, and his subordinates still kept moving.

The steward of the king who was stepping under her feet, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he couldn't see his original face.

This king's steward usually dominates the market in all directions, but there are such miserable times.

The people who gathered around to watch the excitement couldn't help but think so.

Steward Wang's face was so swollen that he couldn't speak, and when he heard the tall and thin Taoist priest stand up to interfere in this matter, he immediately turned his head to look over, his eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were full of pleading.

"As a Xuan Master, you are so ruthless to ordinary people, I am reasoning with you now, I hope you can take the initiative to stop, if not, don't blame me for saluting first and then soldiering!"

The tall and thin Taoist priest couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw Yu Xia ignoring his words, as a disciple of the Qing Palace in Jiuxiao, he was supported by the people wherever he went, and this time he came out just to change his clothes, no one recognized him and didn't say anything, so he made a murderous little girl ignore it.

Yu Xia turned his head to look at him, but the movements of his subordinates still did not stop.

"Are you going to tell me to stop indiscriminately?"

When the tall and thin Taoist priest saw her face, he was stunned for a moment.

Although her complexion was dark, it was obvious that she was extremely weak, as if she had a serious illness, and that's it, and more importantly, he couldn't see the person's face.

He is a mystic master who specializes in physiognomy, and he actually met a person who can't see through faces?

It was precisely because of this that the tall and thin Taoist hesitated for a moment, and he was a little unsure of what Yu Xia's origin was.

With this uncertainty in mind, the original plan to make a move was temporarily suspended.

"If you have any grievances, just come through the channels, and someone will make the decision for you."

Hearing this, Yu Xia really withdrew his hand, pulled over a chair and sat down by himself, but his feet were still on Steward Wang's chest.

"Let me ask you, did you go to the dock a while ago to find trouble with someone named Yu Dayou?"

As soon as the steward heard Yu Xia's questioning, he knew why this evil god came. It's just that his skin is blue and his face is swollen now, and he can't speak, so he can only keep making a few meaningless sounds with "ahhhh

The strong men who had been thrown down also stood up at this time, bowed down and stood in front of Yu Xia, and nodded.

"There is indeed such a thing, but we found him because he owes us two thousand taels of silver to the gambling house."

Two thousand taels!

The surrounding people were in an uproar.

That's a lot of money!

Looking at this little girl's simple clothes, she doesn't think she is a rich and noble family, how can she afford these two thousand taels of silver?

Yu Xia sneered, "I don't know, when did my father owe you two thousand taels of silver!" ”

The man in charge immediately widened his eyes again, and called out "Ahhhhh

Yu Xia glanced at the few strong men who hesitated and did not speak, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a pill and stuffed it into the steward's mouth.

At first, Steward Wang thought that Yu Xia was going to make him take poison in public, and wanted to hide, but Yu Xia directly pulled his shirt vigorously and stuffed the pill into his mouth in a completely forced manner, and then Yu Xia pinched both sides of Steward Wang's cheeks with one hand, and pinched it neatly, and Steward Wang involuntarily swallowed the pill.

Steward Wang's face turned red, and he looked at the tall and thin Taoist priest with a pleading look.

The tall and thin Taoist priest glanced at Steward Wang, "What she gave you was the Nine Death Resurrection Pill, which is a very effective healing pill." ”

Steward Wang immediately withdrew his gaze and closed his voice.

He felt it himself, and it seemed that the wound on his body was less painful.

"The heroine is clear!"

Steward Wang was finally able to speak, "The two thousand taels are really not our gambling house to blackmail your family, I have an IOU here written in black and white!" ”

As he spoke, Steward Wang glared at a few strong men standing on the side, and the one who led before buried his head, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Yu Xia.

Yu Xia took the paper and looked at it, and it clearly read, "The twenty-fourth day of the first month of the year of Bingxin...... borrowed five hundred taels of silver...... ...... within 10 days If the payment is overdue, the interest will be doubled. ”

At the bottom is Yu Dayou's signature.

"So you mean, my father borrowed five hundred taels of loan sharks from your gambling house ten days ago, and now it's quadrupled, right?"

Yu Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at Steward Wang.

Steward Wang was stared at by her like this, and there was suffering in his heart, he looked at the scenery outside, in essence, he was still a steward for the owner, and he should take back the accounts that should be collected, otherwise he would not be pleasing to the owner.

So even though he was afraid of Yu Xia, Steward Wang still nodded stubbornly, "If you can really pay it back within ten days as you said before, you don't need to pay it back so much......

"How much do you have to pay back if it's not overdue?"

As soon as Steward Wang heard that there was a door, this little girl seemed to be very easy to talk to, and had the intention of repaying the debt, even if he couldn't charge such a high interest, he could return it within a limited period!

"That woman," Steward Wang rubbed his hands, he wanted to smile at Yu Xia, but because his face was swollen and painful, he finally gave up, "If it is not overdue, only two cents of interest will be charged, and six hundred taels of silver will be paid......"

"That's ......" Yu Xia looked at the Wang steward with a smile, "Your gambling house has brains, and if you lend out five hundred taels of silver, you will have one hundred taels more when you change hands." ”

Steward Wang laughed dryly, "The heroine is too famous." ”

"I didn't mean to praise you." Yu Xia restrained his smile, sank his face, and said coldly: "I have always known that some underground money banks privately lend money to ordinary people just to eat that high interest, but even then, the loan period must be at least one month. ”

"You have a big appetite in the gambling house, and in just ten days, the interest will be doubled?"

The people who will borrow money in the gambling house are some gamblers, who lose money at the gambling table, and are unwilling, and want to gamble two more with interest to win back, so they will start to borrow money.

The gambling house itself is convenient, and the amount of money that can be borrowed is relatively large, you only need to find an acquaintance as a guarantee to verify your identity, unlike the money bank outside, which is not a place where ordinary people can enter at all.

The reason why Heng Gambling House has a money lending business comparable to an underground money bank is to make money from these people.

As soon as gamblers gamble, they don't think much about the borrowing period, and they even think that they can earn the money back and pay it back if they change hands......

As a result, there are more people who borrow money from gambling houses but can't pay back the money.

What if you don't have the money?

Door-to-door debt collection, threats and intimidation, and people borrowing from relatives and friends, but they really can't make it up, so let these strong men go to the house to move things, and pick valuable ones to mortgage.

If you don't do it yet, don't you have a boy or a girl at home?

The girl is sold into the flower building, and if the kid is passable, he can also sell it as a small man, and then sell it to a big family, and then collect their monthly money every month.

All in all, gambling houses have a way of getting a poor family to spit out the money they want.

But they are famous, and those families who were rectified by them were alienated because they borrowed money from relatives and friends, and in the end they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
