Chapter 5 Debt Default
"Not being able to prevent my lord from being humiliated is the greatest shame of the cathars, and even if he dies ten thousand times, he can't wash it away. Lisa's sobbing, the black-robed Shure slowly walked into the reception room with a gloomy face, "Only by purging you and other sinners who blasphemed our lord can we make up for one ten-thousandth of my crimes." ”
"Brother!" There were still tears on her face, and the girl's heart was already surging with infinite joy, her brother was back, it was her brother who was back!
"Lisa is too big to hold it. Xiuer gently hugged the girl's light and soft body, kissed her delicate forehead gently, and then held her shoulder and looked up and down, nodded and said, "Good job, good handling." ”
"Really?" the girl's eyes sparkled as she looked up at her brother's dusty face. Because he was worried about me, he returned from Shuangshan City in one day and two nights, and walked the road of ordinary people for three days and three nights, my brother must have worked very hard, but why am I so happy? Even hearing my brother's praise, I am more happy than usual.
At this time, the girl has completely lost the embarrassment when she was scared and cried just now, and she shrunk on the chair like a little rabbit a few minutes ago and sobbed, as if she was pretending.
It's not the same, it's just pretended.
"Of course, it's very good, especially the sentence that I still have three silver coins, which is simply a sublimation of artistic conception. "In front of a group of people, no one praised his sister, without the slightest concern about the identity of those people's creditors," as soon as this sentence came out, it was equivalent to an eviction order, no matter how tough they were, as long as they still wanted to live and run a normal business in the future, they could only leave obediently. ”
"The only flaw is that you can cry a little more subtlely, and the expression of fear can be a little more aggravated, yes, yes, yes, this is the expression, so that you can arouse their guilt to the maximum. ”
No one interrupted Shure, but everyone's expressions were strange, including Sister Talina, who followed up, and looked at Shure's expression as if he was looking up to a god and worshipped, well, worshipping his shamelessness.
"However, although your method is very good, there is a small problem. Holding Lisa's soft little hand, Shul whispered, "I can only delay for a while, and when the limelight passes, they will come back and continue to entangle, even if they leave trouble, if you want to send them away completely, you have to use other methods." ”
Lisa listened very carefully, like a studious student, although the knowledge she learned made Tarina want to hit people when she heard it, and Lord Shure was good at everything, but sometimes she didn't look like a priest.
"If you want to repay your debts, no, no, no, what to say, if you want to deal with creditors, you have to be adaptable. In a scene like the present, well, twenty-one, there are a lot of people, and they are all kind, and it is impossible to send them all at once, so we must treat them differently and break them all. If you look closely, how many camps are these 21 creditors divided into?"
"Four. "Obviously, the smartest of all, Lord Lisa, has thought about it a long time ago, and gave the answer at the first time.
"It's actually five, but there's nothing wrong with thinking of it as four. Xiuer curled the corners of his mouth with a smile, not shying away at all, in front of the creditor, educating his sister how to fool the creditor, "If you want to delay the debt, crying and pretending to be pitiful is the most basic trick, the effectiveness is not high, and it really takes effect from time to time, in addition to you, there are many ways to play the pity to the extreme." For example, deal with the simplest enemies, a few of them. ”
Shure was referring to the people who had just confronted Lisa, their luxurious clothes showed that they were rich, but they liked to show their wealth on the table, they were too outward and calm, typical middle-level businessmen, and they were at least the second generation.
Indeed, these people are all relatively famous merchants in the Rose Capital, their parents and even their grandparents, who started as small merchants, owed a lot of materials on credit during the difficult times of the temple, and also provided some loans, and in their generation, although there was no more contact, but the debt was retained.
"They're tougher, but it's actually to hide their inner weakness, these people who don't have the strength and power to support them, and don't have enough money to close this gap, if you are tougher than them, they are afraid, for example, like this. ”
While teaching the younger sister to be crooked, he approached those people with a smile, and the beard seemed to be the most courageous one, swallowed his saliva heavily, and plucked up the courage to say: "Shuer, I, I warn you not to mess around, I have your IOU in my hand, no matter where you go to judge, you should pay back." ”
said that he also raised the old IOU in his hand, as if he was emboldening himself.
"The contract is, heh, I happen to have it here. With a sneer, Shuer said with his hands behind his back, "Three years ago, I signed a supplementary agreement with each of you, and I paid a premium of 15% of the original arrears in exchange for the right to repay the arrears in installments, and repay the fixed amount of arrears every month until it is completely settled, right?" ”
"Uh......" A few people could only nod, this was also notarized in the Contract Temple.
"And in order to give you peace of mind, it is specifically stated in the penalty clause that if you violate the agreement, you need to add a penalty of 5,000 gold coins, and the arrears will be settled at once. But fortunately, I paid the monthly loan in full, right? ”
"But you seem to have forgotten one thing, this penalty clause is not only valid for me, but also for you. ”
"After signing the supplementary agreement, you are not qualified to ask us to pay off the arrears at once, otherwise it will be a breach of contract. ”
Several people's faces turned pale for a while, indeed, they happily agreed to the supplementary agreement, and they were also overjoyed because Shuer took the initiative to ask for the punishment clause, because there was no responsibility they needed to pay on the surface, and they completely ignored that they were also covered by the punishment clause.
It wasn't until Xiuer said that they realized that this guy had been guarding against today's situation since three years ago.
"You guys are quite courageous, you signed a supplementary agreement, and you still dare to come to my house to bully my Lisa, and make her cry, I think we are really going to go to the contract temple. ”
"Wait, didn't she mean to pretend to cry? You see, it's all like nothing now. ”
"Really? Lisa......"
"Wow~~~"
"Look, what's wrong? I still want to shirk my responsibility, let's go, let's see you at the Contract Temple. ”
"Don't go, you don't want to go, two months of repayment, everyone, send it tomorrow, today's thing should not have happened." If you don't see the money before 11 o'clock tomorrow at noon...... Hehehehehe. ”
As a result, the largest wave of people were blasted out of the reception room in frustration, full of remorse.
"A couple of uncles and aunts. Shuer's mood was obviously better, a holy smile appeared on his face again, and he walked up to the second wave of people, took an old woman's hand, and pressed the palm of the holy light on the top of the old woman's head, and the holy power washed the old body, "It's been a few months, everyone is okay." ”
These people were dressed plainly, typical commoners, and were quite familiar with the people of the church. They were all shopkeepers or craftsmen in small shops in the city, such as grocery stores, food stores, tailors, stonemasons, etc., from whom the church had bought its necessities in recent decades, and who had incurred a lot of debts.
For these old people who are more close to the church, Shur will certainly not be as unreasonable as before, and behave like a pure priest, greeting each old man with courtesy.
"Aunt Mary, it's been a long time, did you receive those herbs I asked Little Jack to bring you a few days ago? The weather is going to get cooler, now start to use those herbs to warm your knees, this winter will not be so difficult. ”
"Mr. Andorra, is your headache better? Be obedient, don't drink so much anymore, I would like to invite you to Lisa's rite of passage, you must take care of yourself. ”
"Boss Seren, congratulations, my daughter is finally married, now I can finally rest assured. Do you still like my congratulatory gifts? Hehehe, it doesn't matter, I copied it by hand, and it's not troublesome at all. ”
He was very familiar with everyone, and no one was left out in the cold, until he greeted the last one, and Xiuer said solemnly: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, we don't blame everyone's thoughts at all." ”
"Usually everyone knows that we are difficult, so they are willing to tolerate us, but now that we have money, of course we should come and ask for it, this is a very normal idea, I fully understand. ”
"However, in the name of the goddess, I swear like everyone that the legend is that we are going to sell the territory of the gods, that is a complete rumor, as believers of our lord, we dare not and cannot sell the territory belonging to my lord. ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, we really can't pay off now, but I promise you that I will do my best to pay off the money owed to you as soon as possible. If you still have a little bit of faith in me and Lisa, and in Goddess, please give us more time, and we won't let you down. ”
At this point, the shopkeepers, who were already close to each other, had nothing to say, not to mention that in fact, each of them had signed similar supplementary terms, and Xiuer didn't treat them like he did to those people just now, and he had already saved face for them, so they were naturally embarrassed to continue to entangle, so they could only leave with guilt.
"Here are the two of them, hehe, please go back. "Shuer is facing the third wave, and it is also the smallest wave of people, there are only two people, ordinary clothes, ordinary appearance, and the identity is completely invisible.
The two of them actually just sighed, turned around and left without saying a word, and came in from the very beginning to the end, without even saying a word.
"They're the best to deal with. Shul shrugged, an expression he had anticipated.
"Why?" Lisa looked at Shul with adoration on her face, her brother was really omnipotent.
"They specialize in lending, and they just come here to see, maybe we will find them to borrow usury when our heads are hot? Now we find that there is definitely no chance, of course we can only leave. ”
"Huh, now that the easy things have been solved, the ones that have been broken are almost the same, and the rest is the most difficult to do. ”
