Chapter 869 The Secret in the Ledger
The time agreed with Said was three days later.

During these three days, Equation has already mentioned to Cynthia about leaving Nile in three days.

Knowing that Equation is about to leave, Cynthia felt very sad, but there was nothing she could do, she couldn't keep Equation locked in her palace, he always wanted to return to her hometown.

Reluctant to leave Equation, Cynthia has been with Equation every day for the past few days, except when sleeping, she is always entangled with Equation every step of the way.

To be honest, for a princess like Cynthia who is full of exotic styles and is so active, sometimes Fang Fang really feels a little distracted.

But Fang Fang also knew in his heart that maybe he would never come to Nile again in the future, so he should not do such merciless things.What should I do, every day is to teach Cynthia to learn English and Chinese, as for the relationship, I don't know.

On this day, the two talked about leaving while chatting in the yard.

Cynthia was always a little worried. Based on her understanding of her elder brother, she was definitely not the one who would let Equation and Liana go so easily.

"There is worry in your eyes." Fang Fang said.

"Yeah, I'm worried about you and Lianna, what if my elder brother doesn't keep his word?" Cynthia didn't dare to think deeply.

Fang Fang said: "The account book he asked me to steal must have a very important relationship with him. Only when Lianna succeeds, can I know the secret in it."

"By the way, what about Liana?"

Cynthia suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Liana this afternoon.

"I have already sent her to the home of the Chancellor of the Exchequer." Fang Fang said, "We should be able to reach Nile City by the time it gets dark."

"I wish her all the best."

Cynthia closed her eyes, made a gesture of begging God Amon, and prayed for Liana, hoping that she could return from the chancellor's home smoothly.

Equation is still very reassuring about Liana. Her specialty is infiltration and infiltration. She can complete the task in the face of modern strict guards, let alone infiltrate the mansion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

……

The third day was the day when it was agreed to meet Said again.

Just after dawn, a figure quietly returned to Cynthia's palace.

At this time, the room of Equation was already empty, and in the hall of the palace, Equation and Cynthia were waiting for Liana to come back.

Seeing Lianna who returned smoothly, Fang Fang finally let go of his heart.

"Is it done?"

"Ah."

Liana put the ledger she brought back on the table.

Cynthia immediately flipped through it, and at a glance, it was just a bunch of dense numbers, but after a closer look, she was surprised to find that all the records on it were related to military expenditures.

"These are military records!"

Surprised, Cynthia held the account book and looked at it seriously.

But after reading it for a long time, I didn't find anything special. It's just such a record about military expenditure. What's so worth my elder brother's attention.

"Lianna, are you sure it's this one?" Cynthia asked suspiciously.

"It can't be wrong. According to Said's request, it is this military expenditure record." Liana said.

Fang Fang speculated: "Your elder brother cares so much about this military expenditure record. Is he afraid that his crimes will be exposed, or is he holding someone else's hand?"

Cynthia shook her head and said, "This... I don't know either."

"Let's take a look at what is recorded on it."

Equation took over the account book from Cynthia. He was originally in finance and was particularly sensitive to numbers. After reading a few pages, he discovered that the account book recorded the most contacts with the army as an armory factory.

Nero's army will purchase more than [-]% of the weapons from this weapon factory every quarter, and the amount is basically fixed.

But in one quarter, the cost of purchasing weapons reached ten times the average level, as high as 500 million gold coins.

"This armory belongs to your elder brother, right?"

"How do you know?" Cynthia looked at the equation in surprise.

Equation explained: "It's very simple. This arsenal controls almost all the weapons procurement of the army, and your elder brother cares so much about this account, which shows that these accounts are closely related to him."

Cynthia asked puzzledly: "Even if this is the case, there is no need for the elder brother to do so."

"If it's just a little greedy for money, it's really not like this for a prince." Fang Fang pointed to the sudden surge in the account book and asked, "Can you recall any important things that happened this quarter?" ?”

"Let's think about it..." Cynthia nodded her peach cheeks, thought for a while, and said: "That winter, the 20 Nile army and the northern barbarians fought a decisive battle in the northern border, but the [-] army was defeated overnight, causing countless casualties. The northern barbarians crossed the border and drove straight in. Seeing that the city of Nile was in danger, fortunately my second brother stepped forward and regrouped the troops to organize a counterattack, so the northern barbarians were repelled."

Equation took a closer look at the date of that account, and it was recorded on December 12.

"On what day did the big battle happen?" asked Equation.

"December 12, if I remember correctly," Cynthia replied.

"Can't go wrong!"

"what?"

Cynthia is still at a loss here, but the equation already has an answer.

There is no doubt that the large-scale procurement of weapons came first, and the great war with the northern barbarians came later.

Why would a [-]-strong army be defeated overnight? Regardless of the difference in combat power between the two sides and the difference in command between the generals, it is impossible for such a situation to occur.

The only thing that can be explained is that those weapons are of extremely poor quality.

Because of Said's self-interest, after receiving a huge number of weapons orders from the front line, he made them in a rough manner, shoddy them, and sent substandard weapons to the front line, which led to Nero's defeat.

After listening to the guessing and analysis of the equation, Cynthia couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, it might really be that way.

"If your second brother hadn't led the troops to repel the northern barbarians, I'm afraid Nile would have fallen." Fang Fang said.

"My God, I just feel creepy when I hear you say this." Cynthia couldn't help shivering.

Liana has been listening quietly by the side, and said at this time: "I know why Said cares so much about this account book. If this matter is exposed, not only will he no longer be crowned prince, but he may even be crowned prince. Nothing to do."

Fang Fang said: "Thanks to your second brother's efforts to turn the tide in the end, after the war, no one pursued and investigated the big defeat. Otherwise, your elder brother might have ended up at that time."

Cynthia's shock at this time can no longer be described in words, she never thought that her eldest brother would do such a thing.
