48 Hours a Day

After Pannonax left, the little slave was still grumpy.

“Who is this guy? We don't owe him any money. Why are we holding such a stinking face? Look at that Clint before. He's so polite. ”

“Mmm.”

“Clindelming told you you could choose your own area. Why did Pannonax arrange this for you on his own initiative? ”

“Mmm.”

“I think he must be in a bad mood. It's not a good place to find you. This guy doesn't look like a good person. Don't let him give it to you, give it to you...” The little slave strangled his mind.

“Forget it? ”

“Yeah, reckon it, he's definitely trying to reckon with you. I've heard that people in these palaces are not easy, they think especially, and they like to reckon with others.” The little slave felt that she was playing super level this time, and she actually saw through Pannonax's trick at first glance. She couldn't help but create a feeling that everyone was drunk and I woke up alone. At least at this moment, she felt herself at the top of the truth.

“Mmm.”

“Don't you have anything else to say but um?” The little slave is a little speechless.

“What do you think I should do?” Zhang Heng questioned.

“At least go find Clint. Tell him what Pannonax did. Clint won't let him go. ”

“Mm-hmm. ”

“Mm-hmm. What do you mean? ”

“Do you think Clint wouldn't know what Pannonax did? ”

“What do you mean?” The little slave was a little confused, "but Clint wasn't there, he was in a hurry to go. ”

“You are quite right to say that we have no quarrel with Pannonax and do not owe him money. Why does he want to provoke me with such a bad attitude and even risk being beaten to death? Especially considering that I will most likely be the Red Man before His Majesty the Emperor. ”

“Yeah, why?” The little girl, Nubes, can't help it.

'Cause Clint made him do it. ”Zhang Heng smiled.

“Ah?” The little slave always felt something was wrong, thinking that she had finally caught the key point, "but we didn't have any resentment with Clint, nor did we owe him money. ”

“But I might get in his way.” Zhang Hengfang said, "Our small group has rights from His Majesty the Emperor, who, although the supreme ruler of the Empire, does not have unlimited rights. In other words, if one more person joins, he will walk away from part of the rights. Of course, it may not be necessary for Clint to be so hasty against me, but it is probably because His Majesty the Emperor has personally come to me on a personal visit and made Clint feel threatened. ”

The little slave opened her mouth and felt like she was listening to the story of another world.

Now that he has said this, Zhang Hengsoo clearly explained, "If he wins against me personally, of course, but if he loses, he becomes passive and has more enemies, which is not good for a mature politician, so he chooses to smile at me and let Pannonax be the bad guy against me there, so that if things go wrong, he can abandon Pannonax, and I won't go to his trouble after winning, but maybe he will be fond of me because he has helped me in difficult times, so that the worst guy is just one more political ally. ”

“Is this... like this?” Little slave stutters, “then Pannonax, would Pannonax be willing to be a shield? ”

“Of course I don't feel comfortable, but trying to climb up, giving the boss a backing pan is part of the routine. If he helps Clint solve my problem, Clint will naturally give him a benefit in his future. This is something that I would love to do. For people at his level, it's always risky to get a benefit.” Zhang Heng said as he picked up the bread he hadn't finished before.

“Before that, he was deliberately stimulating me, and I guess I had to do it, so that I could make my stains. Conmoord had a good first impression of me, but I was only a gladiator before, and he didn't know if I could afford it. The first job was actually his examination of me. ”

The little slave couldn't help but tremble, and she couldn't imagine how complicated her heart could be.

The person who smiles with you on the surface is likely to want you dead, but what's even more surprising to her is that someone is still in the mood for breakfast that he didn't finish before.

“It's so dangerous to work for the emperor, so why don't you just quit? I'm in the laundry room, and we can make money.” The little girl is worried, "or we leave Rome to live somewhere else. How about Syria? When I was in gladiator school, I knew a friend who was from Syria, and she told me about the scenery there. ”

“I make more in the Victor arena if I just make money.” Zhang Heng ate the bread and peeled off another fig, “It's okay, it's just a small thing, I can handle it, we're in Rome, we're not going anywhere. ”

“But... but according to you, the guy named Clint has already done it to you. Even if he doesn't succeed this time, he's going to get you in trouble. ”

“Of course, the area he asked Pannonax to pick for me would not be easy. ”

“What should we do?” The little slave looked sad.

“Go check it out first,” Zhang Heng finally finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth.

He did not wait until dark to report to the patrol.

Zhang Heng was mainly unfamiliar with Rome City and needed to do some homework in advance, which would effectively prevent the patrol from being controlled by Clint and provide him with the wrong information.

However, Zhang Heng was a little worried this time, because the patrol team in charge of the area wanted to put the security here better than anyone else, but the problem was that they really didn't have the capacity.

Because it's almost the most messy part of Rome, mostly Jewish, and there are a few other races that look different, but one thing is the same: it's poor, because it's also the place where crime is most frequent.

Almost every night there is a homicide, and there is more than one. The alleys that cross each other become unreachable at night, which is the perfect place to kill, and the murderer, after the murder, directly finds a place, a cat, can not find it, with the patrol's personnel, trying to find out that this place is purely heavenly night tan, in fact, once the night arrives, the patrol team members dare not go out alone.
