Section 171 is built yì

"Can you guess something more credible than what you see?"

"What did you see with your own eyes?" asked Rhodia, "but don't be a witness or anything like that, because people can lie." ”

"It's a contract. The little girl replied in a low voice. "I see several contracts...... One is to buy the magic teleportation scroll for 80 gold Oli per unit, and the other is to sell the magic teleportation scroll...... Forty gold Oli each......" She suddenly raised her head and looked at Rhodia's face.

"Akin?" Rhodia immediately realized who was involved. But why did Ashrufat ......

"Yes, a merchant named Akin. He was the one who made the deal with Ashrufat...... Can you believe it, almost all of the magic teleportation scrolls go through this lap...... There are millions or even more of them in the hands of Akin. ”

"Incredible. Rhodia remembered Akin's chubby face. To say that Ashrufat would collude with Ah Jin to play such a nasty trick...... It's probably as incredible as seeing a hen with teeth.

Rhodia thought for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Rhodia. "Declare him guilty of embezzlement, and send someone to the front to arrest him? Or ...... Suppress this qiē for the time being, wait until the war is over, and then throw these ironclad evidence in his face and ask him?"

"I ......," the little girl's voice softened. "I don't know ......"

"You...... Like him, don't you?" said Rhodia's voice. "Because of this, you don't know what to do with yourself. Because on the one hand, you see the evidence, and on the other hand, you hope that there is another reason for this...... Isn't it?"

"But...... But ......" The little girl's voice was almost indiscernible.

"Oh......" Rhodia slapped her hand hard in the face. "It's really ...... to teach a little girl who is just starting to fall in love with her relationship problems Annoying things. Well," she put down her hand, "I'll be honest, if you question him, he'll certainly not defend himself." ”

"Won't defend himself? Why? Is he really ......?"

"Of course not that's what it meant. But I'm pretty sure that as long as you question him, he won't defend himself. Because that man is so proud. He didn't bother to justify anything. ”

"Pride?"

"Yes, his pride, but it is engraved in his bones. Don't you feel it at all? Remember the first time we met?"

In fact, the little girl knew that it was the second time they met, but there was no need to mention these details at this time.

"Byron was wanted in Eagle City. If you are handed over, I dare not say that the high-ranking officials are generous, at least a large reward will not be escaped. But why doesn't he do it? instead, he runs away with you at the risk. Do you really think...... Is it just a risky measure he took for the sake of a greater gain? If, just if, he knew that there was no additional reward for taking you away, do you think he would have sold you directly to Byron at that time?"

The little girl remembered what Ashrufat had said to her that night, in the forest hut. On that occasion, Ashrufat gave her a chance to relinquish the throne.

"No...... He's not going to do that......"

"Why wouldn't he do that?" Rhodia asked.

"Because ......," the little girl found herself unable to answer the question. She instinctively thought so, but when she thought about it carefully, she found that she could not find a logical basis to support her own idea. Is it because of an oath of allegiance that he does the duty of a courtier? But it doesn't make sense. The little girl knew very well that Ashrufat had not seen her as a queen at all. He was just pretending to be perfunctory on the surface, and in private, he would scold her mercilessly.

"Because he's proud. Rhodia said. Because of this pride, he will do such things that have no benefit at all. There is no way, capable people are arrogant, and they will not bow their heads to others lightly and lose loyalty. In short, it is precisely because of his pride that he will do all kinds of thankless things. For example, if he agrees, even if it is a loss, he will definitely do it. It's not because he's stupid, it's because he's proud. His pride does not allow him to repent......"

She paused, looking at the little girl. "So, if you go and question him...... Then there must be only one result. He will listen to you coldly, then turn around and leave without saying a word. ”

"Yes...... Will that be the case?"

"I'm sure it will be so. Rhodia shrugged. "Even if there is a difference, it will not be very different. Now that you know the consequences, do you want to do it?"

"I ......"

Looking at the little girl's embarrassed and confused expression, Rhodia couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Haha...... Okay, no more kidding you. Is this hard to understand?"

"How...... Understand?" Rhodia's sudden change made the little girl feel inexplicable.

"Well, this situation is the so-called 'drilling the horns'. Thinking is confined to a narrow range, so I can't figure out the truth of the whole thing. In fact, just take a step back and diverge your thinking...... Well, it seems that you can't see through that. Then let me remind you, Her Majesty, your treasury...... Where does the money come from for people to embezzle?"

The little girl couldn't come back to her senses for a while, so Rhodia continued. "As you already know, when Byron evacuated Falcon City, he took all the money with him. So, now all this money ...... Where did it come from?"

The little girl immediately came back to her senses in the next moment. When Essurofat was Chancellor of the Exchequer, he kept the state of the treasury very secretive. Not to mention the origin of the money, the details of income and expenditure, etc., and even the amount of funds in the national treasury is not clear. He even just used a special code to express to the little girl at the meeting, "We can spend this money" or "We can't spend this money".

But, where did the money come from? At that time, Ashrufat did say that even if it was a normal income and expenditure, the treasury would not be able to make ends meet, let alone a large amount of debts to be repaid.

This is not a lie. Because it doesn't take much wisdom to know the situation at that time, in fact, even the mother-in-law has heard similar rumors. A qiē is indeed as Ashrufat said.

The little girl's mouth opened wide, big enough to fit an apple.

"Will Giorlie fall from the sky?" said Rhodia. "If you can, you must tell me about this kind of good thing, so that I can pick up a little bit of it. I can just pick it up with both hands, and I can do without the money bag. ”

She burst out laughing, and the flowers trembled with laughter.

"Since money doesn't fall from the sky, and there's no magic in the world that turns stones into gold," Rhodia finally stopped laughing and continued. "The truth of the matter...... Then there's no need to guess at all. There was only one possibility! The money was obtained by Ashrufat. That's not a matter of a few millions, not to mention anything else, in terms of debt alone...... It's almost 10 million Gioli. ”

"Where did he get all that money?" the little girl finally came to her senses and asked.

"I don't know, but I know he's definitely a rich guy, and he's the kind of guy who's super rich. Don't look at what he usually dresses up, but I once watched him with my own eyes, and I casually touched hundreds of thousands of gold Oli as if he were playing. Hundreds of thousands! It's worth a little bit of a blush wherever it is placed, but he doesn't seem to care at all. ”

"You mean, he ...... with his own money"

"I didn't say that. The only thing I know for sure is that the money was never borrowed - because there was nowhere to borrow it. We can only say that the money appeared for no reason. As for why it appeared for no reason, it could only be because of Ashrufat. From this point of view, he is in the business of buying high and selling low...... Well, maybe it's just a recycling measure. If you have too much money, you can get some of it back through guò. ”

The little girl let out a long breath.

"It's too late, let's go back. "It's good to be young, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground, and the next moment, the little girl looked energetic again.

Looking at the back of the little girl leaving easily, Rhodia whispered to herself. "Oops...... Why is it that all of a sudden, I have to solve the relationship problem for the little girl who is just starting to fall in love? "Forget it, it didn't work out anyway, there were four other women. I don't want to fight this kind of bad fight. ”

She followed the little girl's lead.

"That's right!" the little girl stopped suddenly. "I'm going to see you tomorrow...... The other fiancées. ”

"How many others?" Rodia realized the little girl's words. "You want me to stay with you?"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"I have to warn you, Your Majesty...... The Countess Marianne...... It's not easy to deal with. ”

"Who is the Countess Marianne? Ah, I remember, it's the aunt of the women?

"Don't you know? This Countess Marianne was a well-known socialist in Eagle Falcon. This time she returned to Eagle Falcon City and quickly re-entered the social circle of high society. Don't look at her age, but she has a wide range of people and is willing to spend money, now she is very influential, not the kind of outsider who no one cares about when she first arrives. ”

"What does that mean?" the little girl was still puzzled.

"That means...... Even if you want to do something, at least do it in a reasonable way. Because if you do something too excessive, you won't be able to hide it, and you'll make it known to everyone. By the time Ashrufat returned to Eagle City, he would know the whole story...... Let me remind you if you really do anything excessive...... Ashrufat won't forgive you. ”
