Andrew was about to criticize a few words, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the other party is indeed a profiteer, this is really true. But there are some things that can only be assured.

"It's good that you understand, I hope you can understand Mr. Arthur's distress, you were so rude just now......"

Before he could finish speaking, Levi turned his head and looked at the "dead fat paper" on the other side with his back to him. "What, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation just now, and I was a little hysterical. Alas, I don't know what's going on lately, the quality of sleep is not very good, and people are more irritable, please forgive me, I can't help it. If I had slept better last night, I guess it wouldn't have been like this. His tone softened. I owe money to others, and this waist is not straight.

Arthur didn't look back, still with his back to him, but he replied.

"May I take your words as a formal apology, my lord?"

"It's okay for you to think so. ”

"Okay, so we can talk. This rather powerful middle-aged man turned around at this time. He looked at Levi, who was yawning, which made him smile.

For some reason, after the "confrontation" just now, the only unhappiness in Arthur's heart disappeared. On the contrary, he developed a little affection for Levi. He knew that dealing with such outspoken people could sometimes be a little naïve, but it was better to be simple. Simplicity means not having to think too much.

"Lord Levi, now that you understand the situation, I wonder what you think?" Arthur got straight to the point.

"Before I think anything else, you can tell me a little bit about how much my dad owes you. ”

Levi yawned and didn't go around the corner.

"According to the contract, the money you are going to pay me is the real-time market price of 30,000 tons of full-grained wheat, and it must be the first few batches of wheat from your valley that were harvested in early autumn. Arthur raised three fingers, then changed the gesture to "six," "According to the current real-time price, it is about 60,000 gold vars." (Converted to RMB, it's about 60 million.) One gold war, equal to about 1,000 yuan. ）

"What, so expensive?!"

Levi was taken aback, "My dad is so capable of being a loser, it's amazing!" sighed, he immediately waved his hand at Andrew, signaling "Come closer, and come over with your ear."

The gray-robed old man looked at his gestures, although he was not happy, but he still followed his wishes. As he took a step, he smiled awkwardly at Arthur to the side.

"Hey, Lao An, did this dead fat man lie?"

"It's not true, but he did pick up a bargain at this time. ”

"How?"

"Your Excellency, you don't know. Because of the flooding in the valley this year, the harvest was not good. The price of the grain harvested last month has increased by at least three-tenths compared to previous years, which means that you have to give a lot of money for nothing. ”

"What's the point? Why do I have to pay back the money, and it's affected by the weather?"

"It's really affected by the weather, because the money you have to pay back is the market price of the wheat. When the wheat rises, so does the money. Andrew waved his hand to one of the maids to Levi's right, who immediately approached the throne and handed the robe old man what he was carrying.

Spreading out the parchment printed with vermilion lacquer in his hand, he pointed to one of the passages where there was a text, "You see, the deed clearly states that the money to be repaid is 'the market price of 30,000 tons of wheat produced in the valley in that year', and there are a series of restrictions at the back. At this point, he really didn't lie to you. ”

"Is this too weird?" Levi was stunned, "I've never seen anyone borrow money like this." ”

Andrew explained: "You really haven't seen it. You know, nearly 20 years have passed, and it wasn't the same then. After a pause, he continued, "I'll explain briefly. The reason why your father borrowed this money back then was also to protect himself in times of chaos. Twenty years ago, the entire valley, including our Limestone Realm, was affected by the Crusade. At that time, our king and the rebel faced each other, although our king was destined to return to heaven and the people's hearts were wanted, but the rebellion was also rich and powerful, and there was a dispute for a while. In order to raise military funds, both sides abolished the old currency and issued new ones, resulting in the emergence of three or four different vars in the kingdom at one time. That's going to happen! That's why most of the borrowing at that time was done in this way. Money can depreciate a lot overnight, but it's not much different. ”

"So it has such a history. Levi nodded. He suddenly heard a cold snort, and saw that the "creditor" waiting on the side was a little impatient, and his heart became anxious, "Don't say how much of these, then how much money do we have now......

He stopped talking for a moment, because he saw Andrew's mournful sigh.

"Not enough money?"

Andrew nodded, his voice lower, "It's not enough, it's a lot, it's a lot." Our limestone collar has not had a good harvest this year, and you have helped a wave of victims before, so we only have about this number in our coffers now. He raised four fingers.

"Only 40,000?" Li Wei was about to exclaim, but when he saw the other party shaking his head at him, he took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "Four thousand, isn't this a joke?"

"Do you now know why I was on Mr. Arthur's side just now?

But he heard Levi say: "Looking at him, he is not a person who cares about this bit of oral fault, you think too much." Shall I be polite to him, and he will be able to forgive the bill? This made Andrew look at him.

Arthur on the other side couldn't wait any longer.

"Lord Levi, I wonder how you discussed?"

"Right away, right away......"

Levi lowered his head again and began a new round of whispering. "Then Lao An, can this account be repaid?" Instead, he looked at the two rows of heavily armed guards under the throne, where they were now encircling Arthur.

"No!" Andrew shook his head resolutely, and he spread out the paperwork in his hand again, "Look at who the witness is on this paper?"

Seeing that the old man in front of him spoke in a serious tone, Li Wei glanced at it, and he was also taken aback. "Just kidding, it's the King? Oh, it's my Majesty. Your Majesty actually signed it, this ...... Isn't this incredible?" He snatched the paperwork and read it again, sweating profusely, "What, if you can't pay the money, your title will be cut?"

Andrew sighed and continued to explain.

This document is actually the second one. It was signed twelve years ago and is the second after being witnessed by His Majesty. The original version of the contract stipulated that begging was to be made in the fifth year after it was signed. If it weren't for His Majesty's intervention, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long......"
