From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 340 Intimidation
Leng Xiyao did not answer them, but glanced at Qin Shouyi who was lying on the ground groaning: "How much does he owe you?"

The two thugs looked at each other, and then one of them came out and carefully looked at Leng Xiyao's face, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins, and ten thousand gold soul coins in interest."

"The interest on 10,000 gold soul coins? How long has he borrowed the money from you?" Leng Xiyao was a little surprised. If the interest on a loan of 100,000 could increase to 10,000, how long would it take for the loan to be owed?
The thug who spoke blushed: ".One day."

".Are you robbing people? The interest rates for loan sharks are calculated on a yearly basis, but you charge on a daily basis?"

Leng Xiyao was quite speechless. 10% interest a day? Even loan sharks are not this shady!

If this is owed for a year, wouldn't the debt be three million directly?

Seeing Leng Xiyao's bad face, the thug quickly added: "Miss, you don't know that although we are a loan business, we have clearly marked the price. This kind of thing is consensual, there is no hidden routine, and the interest rate is set for these gamblers. For other ordinary people who need money, the interest rate is not so high, otherwise it would be a scam. You are not unaware of the strength of the Spirit Hall to crack down on this kind of thing."

"It's called interest, but it's better to consider it as a day's profit. If these gamblers win with the money they borrowed from us, we should get the profit from it. If they lose, it's their own fault. There's nothing wrong with us using 'legal' means to get our money back."

Leng Xiyao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. There was nothing to blame them for, as it was only natural to pay back debts.

A gambler does not deserve sympathy no matter how miserable his fate is.

Although the Spirit Hall has abolished slavery, those who owe money and cannot pay it back must be forced to work for the creditor to repay the debt until the principal of the debt is paid off. At the same time, the creditor needs to guarantee their basic living and give them the minimum income stipulated by the law to repay the debt. This is equivalent to a slave with a guaranteed minimum treatment. It cannot be said to be miserable, but it is probably impossible for them to live a good life.

As for the interest on the debt, it will naturally be cancelled. People are so poor that they have to pledge themselves as collateral to their creditors. If they continue to be charged interest, how can they survive?

Just make sure the creditors don't suffer any losses.

In terms of protecting human rights, the Spirit Hall has done a pretty good job.

Leng Xiyao thought about it, took out a rifle that was fully enhanced with psychic energy, and threw it over. "Okay, I'll pay off the money he owes. This thing should be worth 100,000 gold soul coins, right?"

"Enough, enough, of course it's enough!" The thug's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he quickly picked it up.

After working in the money lending business for a long time, one will inevitably have to deal with some precious treasures. The thugs are naturally people with good eyesight and know the value of these things. After a little operation, the money that can be sold for is probably far more than 100,000 gold soul coins.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Rifles that have been enhanced by psychic energy are already very rare. Such fully enhanced rifles are hard to find in Wuhun City. Therefore, after confirming that Leng Xiyao had no intention of further trouble, the two thugs left contentedly, fearing that she would regret it.

"Okay, stop pretending. I have something to ask you." Leng Xiyao walked to Qin Shouyi and kicked him twice without any courtesy.

This bastard is so slippery, perhaps because he has done too many bad things. He is wearing a very tough lining, and those debt collectors only dare to hold back when hitting him, so it naturally doesn't hurt him at all.

Qin Shouyi opened one eye, looked at her, and then closed it again, obviously not wanting to talk.

Seeing this, Leng Xiyao grabbed his collar and lifted him up, then took out a dagger and gently scratched his neck, jokingly saying: "You don't think I'm here to save you? One hundred thousand gold soul coins are nothing to me. I just wanted to get rid of those two people. My real purpose is to help Lanlan collect the debt."

After hearing this, Qin Shouyi opened his eyes wide in horror: "You...you know everything?"

Qin Shouyi naturally recognized the girl in front of him. If he just looked at her appearance, he would not be sure. But when she mentioned Qin Menglan, how could he not know who she was?
He didn't know how powerful and influential Leng Xiyao was now. He only knew one thing, that is, the little girl who had beaten him up with the dog was kidnapped by some powerful person, and the money-loser he picked up also ran away with her.

Originally he thought that the matter was over, but who would have thought that Leng Xiyao was not only stronger than those two Soul Sect thugs, but that she could also make something worth more than 100,000 gold soul coins with just one move. This was beyond his imagination.

Leng Xiyao could only judge that Lan Lan was not this bastard's biological daughter based on her martial spirit, but there were always exceptions, just like Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao. If he really was the biological father, she couldn't just leave him alone. This would undoubtedly be an extremely uncomfortable thing.

I didn't expect him to admit it directly.

Leng Xiyao looked at him coldly: "If you are Lanlan's biological father, then you are worse than a beast at best, but if not, then it is human trafficking. I can kill you ten times and it won't be too much. When she was still young and ignorant, you sold her to that kind of place countless times. Are you still a human being?"

Qin Shouyi knelt down involuntarily, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, and his whole body began to tremble. How could he not know that the other party had come to call him to task?

The friendship between Qin Menglan and Leng Xiyao has obviously exceeded the scope of ordinary friends, so much so that they even talked about such unbearable past events. Now that they come to her house, I am afraid they will die.
He didn't repent for what he had done, he was just simply afraid of death.

He even wondered why he couldn't sell it directly at the beginning, which left him with such a big disaster, but he never thought about who gave him the life he has now.
Seeing Qin Shouyi shaking like a sieve and unable to speak, Leng Xiyao changed the subject and smiled, "But no matter what, it was you who picked up Lanlan and saved her from starving to death in her cradle. Therefore, I am willing to give you a chance to live~"

"I want you to tell me everything that happened when you picked up Lanlan. If you dare to hide anything and I find out, believe me, you will die a miserable death!" Leng Xiyao smiled sinisterly and threw the dagger to the ground casually. It sank directly into the ground less than a few centimeters next to Qin Shouyi.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Qin Shouyi stared at the dagger, he was so frightened that he dared not to try to be sly.

After calming down, Qin Shouyi fell into memories.
