Chapter 407: The Game Rules of the Dark World
"Hmph? Why doesn't it matter? You should tell everyone here yourself how much usury you have lent us!"
At this time, Calais II spoke without hesitation.
"Calais II, what you said, it was not I who begged you to borrow money from us, it was you who insisted on begging us to lend you money.
Now that you say this, it will make Captain Qin Chuan misunderstand, thinking that we are buying and selling by force! "
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Brad had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.
After the conversation between the two, Qin Chuan and others actually learned some inside information.
It seems that Calais II borrowed a lot of usury from Piekro, and because he was unable to repay, he forced the debt on the people of the whole country.
"At the beginning, my father only asked you to borrow money for a temporary need, but I didn't expect that you would do bad things secretly, so that our country fell into an unprecedented economic crisis.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Calais has become such a situation, you have an unshirkable responsibility! "
At this time, Calais II reprimanded him again with a strong attitude.
"Calais II, are you going to turn against us?"
Seeing this scene, Brad immediately darkened his face and said.
"Hehe, is it important to turn back or not? If I don't speak clearly in front of everyone today, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to see the sun tomorrow.
Rather than just die in ignorance, I might as well tell the truth. "
Calais II said firmly.
But at this moment, he seemed to have shown that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
So after seeing Calais II's attitude, Brad panicked for a while.
"Huh? Brad, is there such a thing?"
At this time, Qin Chuan also immediately questioned after feeling that there might be something strange about it.
"Captain Qin Chuan, it was Calais I who asked us for a loan, and my master at that time was Lord Lou Field.
Later, after Master Lu Field died, I became Piecolo's subordinate.
And although Mr. Lu Field died, all his businesses were taken over by Piecolo. "
Brad quickly explained.
"You mean you didn't force the other party to borrow money from you?"
Qin Chuan had heard about Piecolo taking over Lu Field's business for a long time, so he didn't find it strange at the moment.
"It's absolutely true. I can guarantee that if we coerce and lure the other party, we are willing to bear all the responsibilities."
Brad immediately raised his hand and swore.
"Calais II, I have sworn an oath, so what do you say?"
"Captain Qin Chuan, what he said is true, my father did take the initiative to ask them to borrow money.
At that time, our country's economy was relatively backward, so my father thought about whether we could borrow some money to open a route and do trade with neighboring countries.
But at that time, the shipping power was in the hands of Umit, so he opened his mouth and said that he had to pay a large amount of deposit to open the route.
At that time, our country didn't have that much money at all, so my father thought of going to Lou Field to borrow some money to pay the security deposit.
In addition, everyone also agreed at the beginning that after paying the deposit and waiting for the flight to open, the two parties will return all the money within one month after the normal trade begins.
But when we borrowed the money and paid the security deposit, Umit suddenly turned his face.
Today doesn't mean I'm busy, but tomorrow it means that this matter is still being processed, and it won't be done so quickly.
This delay lasted for several months, and during these few months, the money we borrowed from Lou Field had already multiplied countless times.
In addition, this route has been unable to open, what do you think we can use to repay the debt? "
At this time, Calais II also continued to explain.
"That's a matter between you and Umit, it has nothing to do with us!"
After hearing Calais II's words, Brad quickly retorted.
"Hmph, it's true that this matter is between us and Umit, but after I conducted a secret investigation, I discovered that it was actually your Master Lu Field who colluded with Umit in private to set up such a situation.
To open the route by itself, we only need to pay the boat rental fee and a little handling fee for opening the route.
But you have set a sky-high margin for us.
Then when we borrowed the money, you let Umit get in the way, making it impossible for us to conduct normal trade at all.
That's why it ended up with such a bad debt! "
After Calais II said this, Brad didn't know how to defend himself now.
Although what Calais II said was correct, this matter is not something that a small man like him can decide.
So at the moment, he could only look at Qin Chuan with embarrassment.
After all, Qin Chuan has a good relationship with Piekro, and Piekro seemed to have helped him a lot before, so now he can only hope that Qin Chuan will stop pursuing this matter.
After hearing these words, Qin Chuan also found it difficult.
In any case, although they are cheating, this matter is your wish. Since you are looking for usury to borrow money, you have to bear all the risks.
Another point is that both Umit and Lu Field are dead, so now he can't pursue the responsibility of these two people.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan asked again.
"Calais II, since you have paid back the money, why don't you pay it back? Why do you have to increase the taxes on the people every day?
Is it possible that they still have to find someone to come to the Kingdom of Calais to attack you for such a small amount of money? "
"Hey, Captain Qin Chuan, you have never been a family, you don't know the delicate relationship.
We are a country whose reputation plummets rapidly if it borrows money and does not pay it back.
In addition, at that time, Umit had mastered the world's shipping, and Lou Field was the creditor of many countries.
If I really dare not pay back the money, then they join forces, and my Calais kingdom will become an isolated island.
At that time, won't my citizens also face the situation of starving to death? "
At this time, Calais II said helplessly.
"Then you continue to borrow money from the other party to fill the domestic deficit, so that the debt is getting higher and higher, and then it is all backlogged on the people?
If this is the case, you can't shirk your responsibility! "
Immediately afterwards, Weiwei also took the conversation.
After all, in everyone's opinion, this incident was caused by his father alone. Even if it failed in the end, these responsibilities cannot be imposed on the common people.
"I only increased taxes on them on the surface, but I still let them have enough food to meet their food and clothing. This is the last thing I can do!"
At this time, Calais II said helplessly again.
