Chapter 45: Why
After Zhao Yunlong killed Sun De, he did not immediately go to the place where Yuan Yan lived, but first went to the street outside to buy a little heart and came back.
He won't go home empty-handed, go to other people's homes as a guest, and take a little pastry no matter what. After purchasing, he went straight to the direction that Yuan Yan had pointed out earlier.
Soon, he was back in the slums. On the way, before they had gone far, there was a quarrel ahead.
"What do you want to do, in broad daylight, you dare to grab things openly!" Yue Qiuxue's voice came from the front.
"What is it to rob things clearly, it is natural to repay debts, she has no money to repay, is there any problem with us coming over to move things?" The man's dissatisfied voice came from the front, "If you can't get used to it, just help pay it back! It seems that you should be a cultivator, the cultivator must have a lot of money, you can help her pay it back!"
Zhao Yunlong frowned, his steps quickly accelerated, and he soon came to this place of quarrel.
When he came here, he saw Yuan Yan holding two young children, standing in the house and looking at the men with an angry face. The two young children in her arms trembled as they hugged her thighs, their eyes full of horror.
Yue Qiuxue stood in front of Yuan Yan, her eyes full of anger, her willow eyebrows were raised, and her slender hand pressed the scabbard, looking like she was about to draw her sword.
"What's going on?" Zhao Yunlong walked over and glanced at them, the people who came to collect the debts were not ordinary people, they were all some cultivators, and their cultivation was not high, only three or four layers of cultivation in the refining period.
If Yue Qiuxue made a move, they would definitely be beaten down, and they wouldn't even have a chance to resist. When there is a huge difference in cultivation, where can you resist?
However, they are all small characters, looking up and down at Yue Qiuxue's gaze, full of filth, if they didn't know Yue Qiuxue's identity, they would have done it a long time ago.
"Senior brother, you're back!" Yue Qiuxue explained angrily: "Yuan Yan owed them the money, originally wanted to pay it back, but who knew that the money owed had doubled several times!
Zhao Yunlong glanced at them lightly, and the coldness in his eyes made the latter tremble in his heart. For some reason, just one look made them feel cold in their hands and feet, as if they had fallen into an ice valley.
Zhao Yunlong didn't talk to them, but carried the pastries, came to Yuan Yan and squatted down, and smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, come, this is a snack for you." ”
The two young children, a boy and a girl, looked quite cute, obviously dragon and phoenix fetuses. However, in appearance, there is no resemblance to Yuan Yan, it is very obvious that it will not be born to her, let alone her younger siblings, and it is very likely that they were adopted.
There was no one else in this dilapidated house, and if they were, they would have come out long ago. After all, the two young children stayed at home alone, and no matter how they said it, adults were present, but now only Yuan Yan was present, and it was obvious that Yuan Yan was adopting.
This kind of scene is not uncommon in the slums, and it is quite common.
"Hmm......" When the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses saw this snack, their eyes lit up, and they swallowed their saliva fiercely, obviously attracted to it.
"Come, bring it into the house and eat it. Zhao Yunlong handed the dim sum to the two of them, and they didn't take it first, but looked up at Yuan Yan first, and first saw if Yuan Yan was willing to let them take it.
"Childe...... Thank you very much. Yuan Yan saw Zhao Yunlong's gaze, and probably knew what Zhao Yunlong meant, that is, he didn't want this scene to be seen by children, which was easy to cause fright.
"You can take it into the house and eat it, if I don't call you, don't come out, you know?" Yuan Yan smiled softly at them.
"Okay, sister!" the two of them took the snacks and trotted all the way in, and the previous fright quickly improved, and the child was so simple, and there was something delicious to eat, and he must have been attracted to it immediately.
After they entered, Zhao Yunlong turned his head to look at them, and said indifferently: "It is natural to repay debts, this is true, I agree very much." But...... What does it mean to multiply it?"
Several men who were collecting debts looked at each other, looked at them and sneered: "This is what I said before! If you don't repay it when it's due, it will increase fivefold, and now it's the next day, and you haven't paid back the money, of course you have to double it!"
"Nonsense! You didn't say it at all before, you only said that it was overdue, and you would only add a little bit, at most one percent, but now you told me to double it five times!" Yuan Yan bit his lip tightly,
"We said it, but you didn't hear it clearly!" Tian Feng, who was the leader, stood up and smiled wickedly.
"No, it's impossible! You definitely haven't said it, just say add a little bit, just say only add one percent......" Yuan Yan was a little angry, so angry that tears were about to fall.
"Yicheng, what a joke! If you don't believe it, go out and ask clearly, the Yuan Crystal that we Detian Yuanzhuang generally borrows is five times overdue for one day, and ten times when it is overdue for two days!" Tian Feng sneered again and again, quite confident, looked at them and said coldly: "You two, either help her return the source crystal, or move the things, plus even she has to go with her!"
Their eyes were all fixed on Yuan Yan, the original target was her! As for Yue Qiuxue, they really wanted to arrest her, but they all seemed to be cultivators, and the background was not simple, where it was like a slum, there was no problem in arresting it.
Zhao Yunlong generally knows what's going on, this Detianyuanzhuang is a black shop! The overdue interest, he must not have said in detail, it is clear that he wants to pit Yuanyan.
"You, you bully people! The one who lent me Yuanjing before was him! It was all he told me, and he told me that the overdue period would be increased by up to one percent!" Yuan Yan raised his hand and pointed at the man behind Tian Feng.
"Tut-tut, little girl, I haven't said that. Do you have evidence? Everything is based on this piece of paper, not verbal, understand?" The man took out the paper that Yuan Yan had drawn before, but there was no special content written on it, and there was no overdue rule written on it.
However, the rules of Detian Yuanzhuang are really five times overdue! It was just a verbal promise, which made the simple Yuan Yan believe it.
This man's expression is as cheap as he wants, and it is very obvious that he is cheating people!
Zhao Yunlong stretched out his hand and hooked, and a suction force sucked the piece of paper over, and they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't react.
Zhao Yunlong glanced at it casually, it was indeed painted by Yuan Yan, and there was no superfluous explanation on it, but there were not many source crystals borrowed, roughly only ten like this. But if you multiply it fivefold, that's fifty.
Fifty source crystals are basically equal to the five months of living expenses of an ordinary person's family! This is not the key, the key is that it is not finished, and the remaining one day overdue will be increased by five times, and it will be increased tenfold by two days. Even if there are only two left, it will be increased by five times, and it will become ten again, how can it be finished if it rolls like this?
Working in that Fengming Pavilion for a day is just to earn a source crystal, which is so miserable. According to this calculation, it is basically difficult to repay, and the interest has exploded, how can it be repaid?
"Ten source crystals, according to the overdue interest mentioned before, it is now twelve. Zhao Yunlong picked up the source crystal that Yuan Yan had given him before and threw it at Tian Feng's side.
The source crystals that Yuan Yan gave before really had ten, which happened to be able to buy one healing pill. He added two more to it, just enough to pay off the debt. One of them is a late fee, and the other is a simple interest.
At this moment, he also knew why in the previous life, Yuan Yan did not come to him. It is very likely that they were pitted by this group of people and then taken away. They took advantage of this to arrest Yuan Yan, I'm afraid that if they go to a place like Chunlou, where can they still come to him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong's gaze became colder and colder. However, he knew that these were just small characters, and the real big ones were in the back.
