"I can't help it. I, as an inspector, don't seem to have much weight. It's so difficult to meet the governor. I have no choice but to say this."
The white cat clone's voice was flat, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The squirrel made the voice of a middle-aged woman and said with a smile, "You are joking, Mr. Inspector. You have the authority to inspect the entire Pingyang County. You can go anywhere and see anyone. I was concentrating on my training just now and didn't hear the guard's report. I'm sorry."
The white cat clone remained noncommittal.
The squirrel showed the guardian's token and opened layer after layer of barriers.
The white cat stepped inside.
Following her, I climbed up the spirit tree and entered the tree hole.
After making tea, Squirrel asked with a smile in the voice of a middle-aged woman, "I heard that after the inspector left me last time, he has been living in House No. 1, Jiazi, to practice. Is he satisfied with House No. 1, Jiazi?"
The white cat clone said, "Not bad."
The squirrel asked, "I wonder why the inspector came to see me this time?"
Spirit Stone... Of course, the White Cat clone couldn't say this directly, so he talked about the account book, "I came here specifically to look through the accounts of the sale and rental of spirit houses on First Street."
Squirrel's eyes narrowed. "Accounts? Didn't the inspector say last time that he didn't need to look at them? Why did he ask to look at them now? Did he find any problems?"
The White Cat clone said, "I heard that there weren't originally so many spirit houses on First Street. There were many illegally built spirit houses that were not recorded in the accounts. The spiritual stones earned from the sale and lease of the illegally built spirit houses all went into the personal pocket of the town garrison commander."
The squirrel's eyes immediately turned cold, and he spoke in a cold voice of a middle-aged woman, "What do you mean, Inspector?"
The white cat clone said calmly, "In order to prevent the town garrison commander from being slandered and to prove his innocence, I have to check the accounts."
The squirrel's eyes sharpened as he stared at the white cat clone.
The atmosphere in the tree hole suddenly froze.
The white cat clone was not afraid. Although it could not beat the squirrel clone, it was a patrol officer and the squirrel clone did not dare to do anything to it.
After a moment.
The squirrel's sharp eyes faded a little, and he asked, "Whose rumor did the inspector listen to?"
The white cat clone said, "I heard it from others."
"Just because of hearsay, the inspector is going to check my accounts?"
"As the governor of the city, I don't want rumors to spread about you. Of course, I have to help you prove your innocence, so I must check the accounts."
"Haha, the inspector really cares about me."
"Of course. I was appointed as an inspector by my superiors. I am very concerned about everyone and everything in Pingyang County."
"Master Patrol Officer, don't forget! Last time you took two thousand spirit stones from me, and the key to House No. 1."
"What two thousand spirit stones? I don't know what you are talking about. As for the key to House No. 1, I will return it to you."
"It's pointless for you to pretend to be confused like this, Inspector. To tell you the truth, when I gave out the spirit stone and the key, I specially used the image retention technique to record it. Inspector, do you want me to use it to show you?"
The squirrel gave a middle-aged woman's sneer.
Having said that, it means that the relationship has been completely torn apart!
Xu Lian's white cat clone was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that he had been tricked when he collected the spirit stones and keys last time.
However, he who is barefoot is not afraid of those who wear shoes...
Although he was a little surprised, he did not feel panicked. "The governor is really good at this."
The squirrel said coldly, "I did this to prevent the inspector from going back on his word. If the inspector and I get along well, this photo will never be spread out."
The white cat clone said, "I would like to live in harmony with the town garrison commander, but he doesn't take me seriously at all. He has privately built so many spiritual houses and obtained so many spiritual stones through sales and leasing, but he only gave me 2,000 spiritual stones and treated me like a beggar. Isn't he being rude first?"
The squirrel said, "So what? I have already kept the photo. Even if you took a spirit stone from me, it is still my responsibility. Besides, I also have the right to use the best house. If this gets reported to the higher-ups, the inspector may lose his position and be held accountable."
The white cat clone said, "You can hand the photo over to the higher-ups. I will certainly be punished, but don't think you can stay out of it. You privately built a large number of spiritual houses and used them for sale and rental. You pocketed a lot of spiritual stones. I believe the higher-ups are more interested in you."
The tree hole became quiet again.
The squirrel and the white cat were staring at each other, wary of each other, and each had something on the other.
The squirrel picked up the small teacup and took a sip.
The white cat didn't drink it... because he was worried that it was poisoned.
Neither side spoke, and there was silence.
Waiting for the other party to lose patience.
A long time passed.
The squirrel finally spoke again, using the voice of a middle-aged woman, "To tell you the truth, I privately built a spiritual house, rented and sold it, and obtained a large amount of spiritual stones. How could I dare to have such a big appetite alone? The people above me have taken a lot of spiritual stones from me. Even if you report the matter of my privately built spiritual house, I may not be punished!"
Xu Lian's white cat clone said, "Before I became the inspector of Pingyang County, have you ever heard of me in Pingyang County
The power of my clone is not very strong. With your perception, you should have noticed it long ago. This is also the reason why you only gave me two thousand spirit stones, right
I'll tell you the truth, I was appointed Pingyang County Inspector as soon as I joined the Yi Cult. You have someone above you, but don't I have anyone above me?"
The squirrel was silent again, only his eyes were flickering, as if he was thinking about the consequences of the fallout.
After a moment.
The squirrel spoke in the voice of a middle-aged woman. "Tell me how many spirit stones you want before you give up. I hope this is the last time. If you ask me for spirit stones again in the future, I will have to fight you to the death and see who has the stronger relationship."
Xu Lian's white cat clone said, "I also hope this is the last time. I want to see your sincerity. If you still want to send me away with two or three thousand spirit stones, then you are looking down on me. I can only fight you to the death and make a scene in the upper level."
"How much do you want? Don't be too greedy. Most of the spiritual stones I got from building the spiritual house were given to the people above me. If you want too much, I can't give it to you."
"Don't ask me how much I want, but how sincere you are."
Both sides are testing each other, one hopes to give less, the other hopes to take more.
The squirrel hesitated, raised one of its front paws, and pointed three toes. "That's the most I can give you."
Xu Lian’s white cat clone understood it at a glance.
It can't be three thousand, and it can't be three million.
That can only be 30,000 and 300,000.
Thirty thousand is too little. You know, the price of a Class C house is about thirty thousand. He had a falling out with the garrison commander and went to so much trouble. It is impossible that he would only give him thirty thousand, right
Of course, thirty thousand is not too little. Even powerful families like the Tong family and the Lin family have only accumulated ten thousand spirit stones after many years of accumulation.
If it's 300,000, that would be more sincere.
"make a deal."
The White Cat clone did not ask whether it was 30,000 or 300,000. If he asked, it would seem that he was too unsophisticated... Besides, the other party had already said that this was the maximum amount he would give. Even if he asked, he could not give more.
The squirrel waved its claws, and a Qiankun bag appeared on the coffee table.
The white cat clone stretched out his claws to take it, probed with his mind, and took a look. It was indeed 300,000 spirit stones. "This shows a bit of sincerity. We will still be friends in the future."
The squirrel snorted in the voice of a middle-aged woman, "Friends, there's no need. We should keep out of each other's way."
Just now, we have already torn our faces apart, so there is nothing more to talk about.
The squirrel didn't even bother to pretend to be polite. He was too lazy to send the white cat out and just ordered it to leave.
The white cat had no choice but to leave the tree hole, get out of the barrier, walk swaggeringly on the street, and return to house No. 1 A.
