Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

Tavernal remembered the visiting letter sent a few days ago, and there were two days before the agreed time of the visit, but Pantalone came here ahead of time.

If you don't say hello before you come, you're not afraid that I'm not at home?Tavernaar nodded towards Susan, "I see."

She walked out of the hall on the first floor. As soon as she went out, she saw someone standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Pantalone was still the same, wearing a large windproof cloak, with smooth black hair, part of which was blowing on the side of his face with the cold wind.

Seeing her appear, Pantalone pushed his glasses and smiled.

"It's been a long time, Tavernaer, it's rude to come here, don't you mind?"

Chapter 179 Crazy Test

For the rich man's visit, although it was unexpected, Tavenal was quite calm, and after a few greetings at the door, he invited him into the study.

Knowing that this is the rhythm of the two adults wanting to talk about business, the maid left the room after bringing tea to the shop.

After sitting on the two single sofas in front of the fireplace, Tavernal maintained his usual calm look, drinking coffee, and quietly waiting for Pantalone to speak first.

Pantalone pressed his back against the back of the sofa, exhaled with a relaxed expression, looked at the steaming coffee on the small tea table and the crackling fireplace, and sighed sincerely: "Your place is really suitable for doing nothing. , Lie down and drink some tea like this, it’s a relaxing enjoyment.”

You seem to be implying that I am fishing at work... Tavernal's eyes turned slightly, and he held the ceramic cup in his palm, "If you like, you can come here often."

"Then I will remember it, and I will always come to bother you when I am free." Pantalone followed the conversation and continued to smile when he saw Taverna's slight movement:

"I'm just kidding, the executive officer doesn't have so much free time, I just want to come, I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities."

A certain No. [-] seat who was really idle looked up at the ceiling with a little guilt, admiring the patterns on it.

This chandelier is so pretty.

"It's been three or four days since Tavenal returned to Solstice Winter, have you gone to report on your work?"

Pantalone smiled again and asked a question that Tavernaar didn't want to answer.

Which pot is not open and which pot is to be carried, my original plan is to go again in a few days, it is definitely not the last time I hung up the Queen's phone and felt guilty.

"It requires some preparation." Tavernal's flat gaze fell on Pantalone's narrowed eyes with a smile, "I have always had a question."

"Oh, please tell me." Pantalone nodded as if speaking well.

"Will you encounter trouble when you maintain this expression and look at people and the road, for example, the field of vision is not wide enough?"

The air was silent for a moment.

The only sound in the room was the sound of burning wood. .

Tavernaer could see with the naked eye that Pantalone's originally squinted eyes were dull and confused for a moment, as if he hadn't expected that the problem Taverneer was talking about would be this.

This issue is indeed of concern to many people.

It's just that they didn't have the courage to ask, and they were not qualified to ask Pantalone to answer such questions.

As for others with similar status, they are not interested.

"You are the first person to care about my vision. To be honest, I am surprised."

"Just curious." Tavernall didn't explain too much, this was indeed her true thought.

"Speaking of this, hehe, I have a special way to see a lot of things." Pantalone reached out and lightly touched his almost closed eyes behind his glasses. Time flickered.

It's like blinking.

Tavernall understood in seconds.

"So that's it, I understand." Tavernaar herself has a similar method. As long as she wants to, it is not difficult to open her eyes in any corner of her body, but considering that other people may not be able to accept it, it will bring unnecessary problems. troublesome things, she maintained the current state.

"I have other questions." Seeing his easy-going manner, Tavenal expected that the other party would not turn his face casually, and immediately began to push forward.

"Your curiosity is no less than that of Dotorre."

Pantalone still didn't refuse, but just sighed.

This is different. Although I am curious, I am not obsessed with the truth. Tavenal secretly drew a line with someone in his heart, and continued to speak without changing his face: "What do you think about the reimbursement form I submitted recently?"

"..."

The smile on Pantalone's face that has been maintained since entering the door is almost unstoppable.

Tavernar opened his eyes wide, leaned forward, and put his hands on his knees.

"Your question is really embarrassing me. Although I can't bear it, you are running around for His Majesty after all. It is understandable that the cost is higher."

He smiled frankly and sincerely, but the corners of his mouth sank a little compared to before.

Seeing that Tavernall seemed to be planning to add something again, Pantalone's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"The main reason is that the helpers sent to me by Dottore are quite destructive. The most bills currently are compensation for damages. I have been worried that you will be angry about this."

Pantalone: ​​"..."

Thanks, got annoyed already.

But it turns out that there is still a relationship with Dotorre here, which he did not expect. Although he remembered that Dotorre was quite contemptuous of Tavernall at the first award ceremony, he did not expect that now he is getting along with him. Looks pretty good.

Pantalone's fingers tapped subconsciously on the armrest of the single sofa, re-weaving the network he knew.

However, he does not want to stay any longer for the time being.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the other person to speak first, but I never thought that this person is really good at chatting. It was obviously not like this when I asked for something from myself before.

I'm afraid it was intentional.

Taking a deep breath, Pantalone interrupted before Tavernall could speak: "I am here to ask for your assistance in certain matters."

Are we finally getting down to business?Tavernaar also put away his playful mentality, crossed his fingers across his abdomen, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Pantalone watched her finally get serious, and shook her head helplessly, "As for Zhidong's current management system, you have seen it in the past two years, what do you think?"

Tavernall replied without thinking too long: "The inevitability of history."

"Inevitable. Hehe, you are really sure. In a country directly governed by the gods, this is indeed a necessity from top to bottom."

Chapter 180

It is inevitable from top to bottom...

Tavenal closed his eyes slightly, "I think, no one will disobey Her Majesty the Queen in this matter."

Tavernal had been in the Royal Library for a long time before. On the one hand, it was to increase the real history of the "Book of Narratives" to enhance his own strength. And a deeper understanding of the world.

Although most of the history recorded in books is to observe the world through the eyes of the writers, which will add more or less subjective color, but for Tavenal who owns the "Book of Narratives", the authenticity of history is obvious.

She is also aware of the changes in the direction of Solstice in the past hundred years, and Pantalone's rapid industrialization to the peak after he took office. No matter how you look at it, such success represents the Queen's silent acquiescence and even support.

The reason why the Ice Queen needs Zhidong to take such a path is unknown.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the industrialization and technological level of Zhidong should be far behind that of Kanria 500 years ago. If even Kanria cannot resist the catastrophe with advanced technology, then she is still Where did the reason for such a decision or where did the confidence come from?

Tavernall doesn't know.

She also didn't know the details of the Kanria catastrophe.

Why did Tianli order the gods under his jurisdiction to go to Kanria? Is it really just as Thor said, because of the so-called full-strength running?

It didn't take much time for the thoughts in Taverna's mind to flash, and Pantalone's words continued.

"It's just a pity, after all, not everyone can understand this."

His words obviously meant something, and Tavernall pretended to be listening, waiting for the next article.

Pantalone hooked the corners of his mouth, and the ring jewel on his finger gleamed under the reflection of the fire in the fireplace. There was a kind of self-confidence and calculation on his body, and his eyes that were not fully opened well concealed his true emotions. .

"I overheard someone saying that you encountered a little accident on the way back from this trip. With all due respect, your treatment of these people is still too lenient, so that they dare to resist you."

"The Zhidong Propaganda Department seems to be in a little trouble recently. Although I fully believe that you and your subordinates have the ability to settle it, I have an easier and more once-and-for-all solution."

Pantalone smiled earnestly, as if she was really just making a suggestion, and had no intention of intervening forcefully without permission.

This sincerity of returning the decision makes his words seductive, as if he is not plotting anything but just giving a suggestion in a conversation with a friend.

Makes... irresistible.

Tavernal also responded with sincerity.

"I'm struggling with this, can I hear your thoughts?"

The smile on Pantalone's face deepened a bit, and he slowly took out a document with a little incense smell from the inner pocket of his clothes, and put it on the coffee table in Tavernal's hand.

Tavernaar took the document right away, although it could be ignored, but the tactile sensation between his fingers and the paper was quite wonderful, the paper is probably not cheap, and the ink used for writing really showed the breath of money everywhere.

Letting his thoughts fly without a trace, Tavernall focused his attention on the content of the document.

On one or two pages, the names and biographies of the nobles were clearly displayed in front of her eyes.

Including when and where they did what dirty and dirty things, and how they hurt the people of Zhidong and the interests of Zhidong.

The information that can only be obtained by spending a lot of time and energy is simply recorded on paper in a straightforward manner, but even so, the content is shocking enough, as if all the evil deeds that humans can think of included in it.

"This is..." Tavernall only glanced at it briefly, and knew Pantalone's plan.

In addition to publishing books, Zhidong Propaganda Department also plays the role of news media.

Pantalone understood this very well long ago.The advertising space for several months at the beginning made him a lot of money, and he further realized the importance and influence of the right to speak.

Looking at the inspector who was only a few steps away, sitting on the sofa with slightly raised eyebrows, showing some interest, this colleague who did not make much achievements before taking office but has an extremely stable position after taking office, squinted all the time. The closed eyes seemed to be opened a little bit, trying to see the other party more clearly.

"To give back to those eyes that hate you, it's time to give them foolish answers, isn't it?"

A voice so gentle that it was almost gentle sounded in the room with only two people, like a poisonous snake hissing and whispering.

Half of Pantalone's face was reflected in the firelight, and a shadow inevitably appeared on the other half of his face. The shadow swayed with the beating of the flame, and for a while set off the smile on Pantalone's face a little scary.

Like a spider in the dark, lying on a well-arranged web, it seems slow and lazy, but as long as the prey enters the web, the poisonous fangs will open.

Under Pantalone's gaze, Taverna put down the documents in his hand, "Indeed, they have been at ease for too long, and they seem to have forgotten that their identity and being able to come to this point is only the kindness of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Since Her Majesty's kindness cannot make them recognize the torrent of the times, let's help them."

Tavernal seemed to laugh, and all Ruowu's chuckles were very clear in the room, but Pantalone couldn't find out how she made the sound, a whisper passed by her ears like the wind, like a hallucination.

He saw that Taverna's eyes were different from the majesty and coldness of Her Majesty, and seemed to contain endless wisdom and knowledge.

In the same staring gaze of the other party, Pantalone rarely had the illusion that all his plans had been seen.

A moment of absentmindedness appeared on his incomparably gentle face.

It wasn't until Tavernaer rang the bell with the wind element, and as the study door was pushed open, Pantalone escaped from that strange feeling.

"Give these to Victoria, she knows what to do." Tavernaar turned to the housekeeper and explained.

"Yes, my lord."

When the butler left with the documents, Tavernaar turned to Pantalone again, saw the thoughtful look in the other's eyes, and said directly without explaining: "My lord, you can think about the next thing. This process won’t take too long.”

Chapter 181 The calculations from a hundred years ago

"Trust your judgment. I will make preparations in advance. Well, I have been bothering you for a long time today. I still have some things to deal with at the bank. I regret to say goodbye."

The goal has been achieved, and there is no need for Pantalone to stay here. His time is still very precious due to his official duties.

Tavernaar didn't hold back either, and sent him to the door out of courtesy.

"It's really pleasant to get along with a colleague like you. I also wish you a smooth life in the future. For example, you don't need to worry about compensation for various losses."

There was already a carriage waiting at the door, and Pantalone said something meaningful before going up.

Awareness means he doesn't want to see the reimbursement claims that come up every now and then. ap.

Tavernar spread his hands and nodded sincerely: "With you as the backing of our fools, I have never worried about this aspect, and it is thanks to you."

Pantalone: ​​"?"

Does he mean that?

"I'm honored to be able to help you."

Pantalone left this sentence with a half-smile, and got into the carriage without stopping.

The mood is suddenly bad, and the plan has been completed according to the predetermined method, but I still can't be happy.

The carriage drove to the end of the road and disappeared at the corner of the street.
