Section 171 Suggestions

"Can you guess something more credible than what you see with your own eyes?"

"What did you see with your own eyes?" asked Rotia, "but don't be witnesses or confessions, because people can lie."

"It's a contract." The little girl replied in a low voice. "I saw several contracts... one was to buy magic messenger scrolls, with a unit price of 80 Jin'ori, and the other was to sell magic messenger scrolls... the unit price of 40 Jin'ori..." She suddenly raised her head and looked at Rotia's face.

"Akin?" Rotia immediately realized who the person involved in this matter was. But why did Ashu Rufate...

"Yes, a businessman named Ajin. He is the one who trades with Ash Rufat... Do you believe that almost all the magic messaging scrolls have passed this circle... There are millions or even more Jin Oli, because of this, falling into Ajin's hands."

"Incredible." Rotia remembered Ajin's fat face. If you want to say that Ash Rufate actually colluded with Ajin to play such a naughty trick... How can you say it, it is probably as incredible as seeing a hen with teeth.

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

"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Rotia. "Do you announce his crime of corruption and send someone to the front line to arrest him? Or... temporarily suppress all this, and wait until the war is over and he returns, and then throw it into his face with these sure-fire evidence?"

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

"You... like him, right?" Rotia's voice became serious. "Because of this, you don't know what to do. Because on the one hand, you saw the evidence, and on the other hand, you hope that there is another reason for this matter... isn't it?"

"But...but..." The little girl's voice was almost unrecognizable.

"Oh..." Rotia slapped her with her hands hard. "Teaching a little girl who has just started to fall in love is really annoying...annoying thing. OK," she put down her hand, "I'll tell the truth. If you question him, he will definitely not defend."

"Can't defend it? Why? Could it be that he really..."

"Of course not that. But I'm sure that as long as you question him, he won't defend himself. Because that man is too proud. He doesn't bother to defend anything at all."

"pride?"

"Yes, his pride is engraved in his bones. Did you not feel it at all? Do you remember the first time we met?"

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

"At that time, Byron wanted you in the Hawk City. If you handed over you, you wouldn't dare to say that high officials and generous salaries would be at least a large reward. But why didn't he do this? On the contrary, he had to take you away at risk. Do you really think... it was just a risky measure he took to get bigger? If, just if, he knew that there was no extra reward for taking you away, would he think he would sell you to Byron directly at that time?"

The little girl remembered the words Ash Rufate said to her in that forest hut. That time, Ash Rufate gave her a chance to give up the throne.

"No...he wouldn't do that..."

"Why didn't he do that?" Rotia asked.

"Because..." The little girl found that she could not answer this question. She thought so instinctively, but when she thought about it carefully, she found that she could not find the logical basis to support her idea. Could it be that it was because of the oath of loyalty that she fulfilled the obligation of a minister? But this made no sense. The little girl knew very well that Ashu Rufate had never regarded her as a queen before. He was just pretending to be perfunctory on the surface, and in private, he would scold her without mercy.

"Because he is very proud," said Rotia. "Because of this pride, he will do such things that have no benefits. There is no way, capable people are proud and will not easily bow their heads to others 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. This is not because he is stupid, but because he is proud. His pride does not allow him to regret..."

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

"Will...will this happen?"

"I believe this will happen." Rotia shrugged. "Even if there is a difference, it will not be a big difference. Now, you already know the consequences of this. Do you still want to do this?"

"I……"

Looking at the little girl's embarrassed and confused expression, Rotia couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha... OK, I won't tease you anymore. Is this a matter difficult to understand?"

"How...understand?" Rotia's sudden change made the little girl feel inexplicable.

"Well, this situation is the so-called 'going stingy'. Thinking is limited 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 this. Then I would like to 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 moment, so Rotia continued to say. "I guess you already know that when Byron evacuated the Hawk City, he took away all the money. So, where did the money now... come from?"

The little girl immediately came to her senses. When Ash Rufate was the Minister of Finance, she kept the situation of the treasury very confidential. Not to mention the origin of the money, the detailed income and expenditure situation, she refused to say clearly about the amount of the treasury funds. He even used a special secret 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 this money come from? At that time, Ashu Rufate did say that even if it was normal income and expenditure, the treasury would not make ends meet, let alone a lot of debts to be paid.

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 heard similar rumors. Everything is indeed as Ash Rufate said.

The little girl opened her mouth wide, so big that she could stuff an apple.

"Will King Oli fall from the sky?" Rotia smiled. "If possible, I must tell me such a good thing so that I can pick it up a little too. I just need to pick it up with both hands, and I can do it without a purse."

She laughed loudly, and the branches trembled.

"Since the money did not fall from the sky and there is no magic to turn stones into gold in the world, then," Rotia finally stopped laughing and continued. "The truth of the matter... there is no need to guess at all. There is only one possibility! The money was obtained by Ash Rufate. It can't be done with a few million. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of debt... it's almost ten million Jin Oli."

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

"I don't know this, but I know he is definitely a rich man, and he is a super rich man. Although he usually dresses up very ordinary, I once watched him with my own eyes, just like playing, and he casually found hundreds of thousands of gold orleys. Hundreds of thousands! It's worth jealous wherever he puts it, but he doesn't seem to care at all."

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

"I didn't say that. The only thing I can be sure of is that the money was definitely not borrowed - because there is no place to borrow it at all. We can only say that the money appeared for no reason. As for why it appeared for no reason, it can only be because of Ash Rufate. From this point of view, he made a business that was high and low to sell... Well, maybe it was just a recycling measure. If there was too much money, you could collect some of it through this method."

The little girl let out a long breath.

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

Looking at the little girl's back as she left easily, Rotia whispered to herself. "Oh, why do you suddenly have to solve the relationship problem for the little girl who is in love? Shouldn't I be stuck in the middle and provoke disagreement?" She smiled. "Forget it, there are no results anyway, there are four other women. I don't want to fight this kind of bad battle."

She followed the little girl behind her.

"By the way!" The little girl suddenly stopped. "I plan to meet her tomorrow...the other fiancées."

"The others?" Rotia realized the voice of the little girl. "Do you want me to accompany you?"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"I have to remind you, Your Majesty...that Countess Marian...is not easy to deal with."

"Who is Countess Marianne? Ah, I remember, it's the aunts of those women? Why is it difficult for her to deal with? I am the queen!"

"Don't you know? Countess Marian was originally a famous social figure in Eagle Falcon City. This time she returned to Eagle Falcon City and soon re-entered the social circle of the upper class. Although she is old, she has a wide range of people and is willing to spend money, she is now very influential, not the kind of out-of-towner who is new to the world who doesn't care about it."

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

"That means...even if you want to do something, at least it must be reasonable and not be honest. Because if you do something too excessive, it may not be hidden and will be known to everyone. When Ashu Rufate returns to Eagle City, he will definitely know the whole story... Let me remind you first, if you really do something too excessive... Ashu Rufate will not forgive you."
