88. Interest
In the open space not far behind the old man standing with his hands in his hands, there were two wooden crosses on them, on which were two people tied, one of them was a young man about twenty years old, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, at this time, Kidman's condition was not good, his **** upper body was covered with shocking blood marks, and the young man next to him was even worse, there was no complete skin on his body, and the young man also passed out because he couldn't bear the severe pain.
Kidman, who was tied to the cross, looked at the young man who had passed out next to him, his face was full of annoyance, he glared at the two warriors in front of him with leather whips, and shouted hoarsely: "Why did you do this, who gave you such rights, let us go immediately, otherwise when the city lord knows about this, he will definitely not be able to get around you." ”
"Hahaha......" The two warriors holding the leather whip in front of Kidman immediately leaned back and laughed when they heard Kidman's angry shout, and one of them laughed while not forgetting to whip Kidman fiercely.
"Whether you survive tonight is a question, and even if the lord of the castle knows about it, do you think the lord will punish us for your sake? One of the warriors stepped forward and slapped Kidman's face a few times with a leather whip, and said with a slight sarcasm.
"I've long heard that there is a principled brainstorm in the city guard, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. The other warrior also said with a sarcastic smile.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Kiman, ignoring the pain in his body, looking at the two warriors with leather whips in their hands.
Although he is only the most ordinary member of the city guard of Trines City, this does not affect his familiarity with the distribution of some forces in Trines City, these people in front of him are one of the several big forces in Trines City, but he can't understand why these people are so fearless, although the force behind them is very strong, but it is not strong enough to kill people in the city unscrupulously.
"Haha, don't you understand this, then I'll tell you bluntly, you are not worthy of your city lord to stand up for you, you are a small ordinary team member, you city lord can't be embarrassed for a small person like you and the head of my family. The warrior beside Kidman shook his head and said with a look of contempt.
"The city lord has always done things fairly, he is definitely not what you say, you wait, the city lord, he will definitely get justice for me. Kidman shook his head in disbelief.
"How to get justice? I don't think you have figured out the situation yet, it's your son who owes us money, and we're just here to collect it. The warrior with the leather whip chuckled.
"Sam owes you money, but that's not an excuse for you to make people like that. Kidman exclaimed.
"Smack......
The warrior with the leather whip whipped Kiman fiercely, and then said unhurriedly: "It's true that we beat your son like this, but this is not our intention, it was your son who not only did not pay back the money, but also hurt people, and we did it in desperation, but in the process of subduing your son, the shot was a little heavier, I think the city lord will understand us at that time." ”
"You fart!" Looking at the warrior who pretended to be innocent and spoke unhurriedly, even Kidman, who had never sweared, was so angry that he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"Look at you, look at you, we are all civilized people, how can we scold people, I am just telling the truth, not to mention ......"
"That's enough, stand down. Just when the warrior with the leather whip was about to say something more, the old man who had been standing on his armrests slowly turned around and stopped the man with a voice.
The man hurriedly replied respectfully, then stepped aside and said no more.
The old man glanced indifferently at Sam, who had passed out, then turned his head to look at Kiman, and said indifferently: "It is only natural to repay debts, since your son can't pay the money, then it's not too much to recover some interest on him." ”
"Sam has been beaten like this by you, is this just a recoup of interest?"
Looking at the annoyed Kidman, the old man chuckled lightly and said, "What? Do you think it's heavy? You know, your son has borrowed a total of 10,000 gold coins from the casino, and you have repaid the money for your son several times, you should know the interest on the money lent out by our casino, as of today, according to the interest of the casino, your son now owes us more than 2,000 gold coins for the interest alone, do you think this injury on your son's body can be worth more than 2,000 gold coins?"
Looking at Kiman, who had nothing to say for a while, the old man's face showed a trace of disdain, and he continued to say indifferently: "Your son's life is worthless to us, the reason why we beat him like this is just to make him have a longer memory, to be honest, we don't actually want to do anything to your son, after all, even if we kill him, it will not do us any good, it will only make us lose more than 10,000 gold coins for no reason." ”
Listening to the old man's indifferent words, Kidman's face showed a hint of displeasure, although he also understood in his heart that the other party was telling the truth, people like them who were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary were cheap lives, not to mention worth more than 10,000 gold coins, not even a hundred gold coins, so although he was very unwilling in his heart, he had nothing to refute, so he had to keep silent.
"But......" The old man suddenly changed his words, revealing a hint of curiosity and asked: "But it's not impossible for me to bypass your son, I heard that your family has a treasure map handed down from your ancestors, and it is said that with this treasure map, you can find the treasure left by your family in its heyday, I don't know if there is really such a thing?"
Kidman's face changed suddenly, he looked at the old man in shock, and asked in disbelief, "You...... How would you know?"
"Hehe, it seems that this is indeed the case!" The old man who had always had an indifferent expression finally showed a knowing smile at this moment, and after seeing the old man's expression, Kidman's face suddenly became extremely pale, and he exclaimed, "You...... You're lying to me?"
"Haha...... Hahahaha......" The old man laughed a few times with a smug face, looked at the pale Kidman and shook his head and mocked: "You should be glad that your family really has such a treasure map, if it weren't for this treasure map, do you think your son would still be alive until now? And you don't want to think about it, is it worth me to go out personally with your son's 10,000 gold coins? How could I just come here for the money your son owes?"
Now that he already knew that the treasure map was true, the old man didn't need to hide anything, he said it directly, and Kidman gradually seemed to understand some things, he looked at the old man with some discouragement and said: "You calculated everything tonight, and I now wonder if my son's addiction to gambling was also arranged by you, lending him money again and again, so that he can't extricate himself, and the purpose is for today, for the treasure map of our family." If that's the case, then you're terrible. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "You don't have to think of us so scary, your son was addicted to gambling at the beginning, it was not because of us, he was addicted to it, and it has nothing to do with us." But when he lost all your valuable stuff and didn't have any money to gamble, we found him, lent him money, asked him to flip through it, and we deliberately let him win some money in order to keep him addicted. ”
As the old man spoke, the memories of that time in Kidman's mind also poured out, he didn't know when his son became addicted to gambling, but once his son lost all the valuable things in the family, he beat his son in a fit of anger, and never gave his son a penny since, in his mind, this should be able to make his son quit gambling, in fact, it does have a little effect.
But not long after, his son became addicted to gambling again, saying that someone lent him money, and he also used the borrowed money to win some money, and since then his son has been out of control into gambling, even if he loses everything, he will ask those people to borrow money, because he believes that he will always win back, but this is not the case, not only did he not win, but he lost more and more. Until now, a huge amount of more than 10,000 gold coins is owed.
"You are so calculating!" At this moment, Kidman had nothing to say, the other party had taken great pains to calculate the treasure map in his hand, and he had already calculated it from so long ago, and he also had a deeper understanding of the horror of these people.
The old man shook his head, and said with a look of us also thinking about you: "Actually, we are also for the good of your family, such a treasure map is a treasure but also a source of disaster, you don't have the ability to have it, it is a source of disaster for you, now we help your family to clear the source of disaster, you should be grateful to us, and our head of the regiment also said, as long as you hand over the treasure map, not only the money owed by your son will be written off, in addition, we will give you 100,000 gold coins as compensation." Well, this condition is generous enough, exchanging a treasure map that is a source of disaster for you for 100,000 gold coins, this kind of good thing is not very common, and with these 100,000 gold coins, your family can also change places to live a good life, it is better than being a member of the city guard here. ”
Although the other party used a consultative tone, Kidman knew that he had no choice at all, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Very well, I just like people like you who know the times. Seeing that the other party agreed, the old man nodded with satisfaction, but then the old man showed a cruel smile, "But there are still some things to do before leaving." ”
The two warriors who were close to the old man with leather whips seemed to think of something after seeing the old man's sudden smile, and shouted in horror: "Don't ......"
