48 Hours a Day

Daegius had never been to the East Side before, but this place was long overdue.

Even the driver was reluctant to hear that their destination was here. Zhang Heng had to add extra money before the carriage sent him and Daegius.

And Daegius held his breath all the way down, and after getting off the carriage, he couldn't help but say, “Didn't you say who was behind Cobb? Why are you here? As far as I know, there are criminals, villains and the poor who live in this place. They shouldn't be able to make Cobb do what he says. ”

“Yes, you're right, but our goal is them. ”

“What, are we targeting those criminals and villains?” Daegius didn't understand.

“No, our goal is the one behind us. ”

“The poor? ”

“Yes, as I told you before, a lot of people will be needed in mines like those, only slaves will not be able to meet their labour needs, and sometimes the price of a healthy slave will be low, and if he dies, he will lose a lot of money, and if he employs the poor, he will not suffer. ”

Daegius finally reacted, suddenly realizing, "You want to find the poor people who used to work in the mines. ”

“Exactly.” Zhang Heng nodded.

But soon Daegius became sad again, "But this place is so big and so chaotic, how can we find someone who works at the Pinota mine? ”

“You don't have to worry about that. ”

Zhang Heng waved as he spoke and called a kid who was playing on the street and his companion. The kid tried to escape from the moment he saw Zhang Heng, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape. The witness could only walk over nicely.

Zhang Heng lay down in his ear and said a few words before placing a copper coin in his palm.

As a result, the latter grabbed the copper coin and ran away with his legs.

“Well... I don't think he's coming back.” Daegius sent the kid away with his back.

“Yeah, he's not coming back.” Zhang Hengzheng agreed.

“So what do we do now? ”

“You can go around and have some fun or something, I'm going to visit a friend and see if there's anywhere else I can get you the copper mines you need. I'm used to doing everything with my hands, and then we meet at the Blackwater Bay Tavern and meet up with people who work at the mine.” Zhang Hengdao.

“I... I don't think we should split up.” Daegius was in a cold sweat when he heard that he couldn't even ask Zhang Heng how he found a miner in Blackwater Bay Tavern after that, but he was in a hurry and said, "You are not Roman, you may not know the strength of this place, Fabino of the Lunia family was hired as an assessor of the patrol, came here to inspect on the first day of his tenure, he brought two more guards, he was robbed in the street, not to mention, he was severely beaten, his engagement ring was lost, you are the gladiator champion of the Flavi Circular Theatre, you may not be afraid, but we are separated, I am not sure if you will see me again. ”

“Relax, my friend, you're here with me. A lot of people here have seen it. No one will hit you, I promise.” Zhang Hengdao.

“How can you promise?” Daegius, not believing Zhang Heng's words at all, grabbed his wallet. He was now suspicious of anything. He felt that at any moment a mob would come out of the crowd, kick him to the ground, and then pick him up with a hug.

Zhang Heng was helpless. At this time, they happened to encounter a patrol passing through here. Now the patrol is usually staffed by two patrols, leading a group of good players who paid for it. Zhang Heng stopped the two patrols and had them accompany Daegius, so that Daegius would agree to split up.

Even so, Daegius did not dare to go anywhere, and he asked the two patrol members to take him directly to the patrol's compound, and then counted the time, and asked the patrol to escort him to the Blackwater Bay Tavern.

Throughout the whole time, Daegius was fearful, lowered his head, stared at his shoes, scared of an incorrect look, and brought him a massive death disaster, and by the time he got to Blackwater Bay Tavern, Daegius saw a lot of bad characters, making him feel like a little white rabbit who had fallen into the wolf swarm.

Daegius hurriedly ordered a glass of wine and then found a corner to nest in. Good thing he didn't wait long after him, Zhang Heng's figure appeared in front of the tavern.

Daikius did not know if it was his illusion. When Zhang Heng appeared, the Blackwater Bay Tavern seemed quiet for a moment. No one made a sound. Until Zhang Heng made a gesture, the tavern became lively again. Then Zhang Heng came to Daikius' table and sat down.

“Are you done? ”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Well, can you find any other sources of ore?” Daegius is obviously also concerned about this, after all, being a long way from starting work at the Notta mine, which is about whether he will be able to accomplish the tasks assigned to him by Conmoord on time.

“It has not been easy, and the price of copper ore has soared considerably in Rome in recent times, and secondly, the main problem seems to be that there is little stock everywhere. ”

“So we can only hope to start over at the Pinota mine?” Daegius seemed a little frustrated.

“It seems so.” Zhang Heng picked up his order of wine from the waitress, but he was not in much of a hurry.

And the next moment, two men, dressed in worn old clothes, with an arrogant face, walked into the tavern and turned to Zhang Heng and they said, "Are you looking for us? ”

“Yes, have a seat.” Zhang Heng pointed to the opposite position and then pulled out two gold coins from his arms and bounced them to two people. “Don't be nervous. I'm just asking you a few questions. Just answer them honestly. This is your reward. ”

“Wait, who are they?” Daegius asked in surprise.

“We are workers working at the Pinota mine.” The elderly miner received a glimmer of ecstasy in the eyes of the gold coin and thanked Zhang Hengju for answering. This was a huge sum for him. No, it was a huge sum for the vast majority of people living in the southeastern city. He got such a large sum of money in front of the public, he was worried that he could no longer keep it. However, Zhang Heng gave it to him, which means that nobody dared to take it from him.

However, Daegius on the other side was really nervous and quickly asked the two of them to put away the swinging gold coin, while looking around to make sure no one noticed what was going on here before opening their mouths.

“Are you miners at the Pinota mine? But how is that possible?” Daegius turned his head and looked at Zhang Heng, "you found them after spending only one copper coin? ”

“Of course not. I didn't spend a coin. That's my letter.” Zhang Heng said that he had taken from the old miner the copper coin he had previously given to the kid. This was the copper coin with his head printed on it, but then this edition was abandoned by him, and the rest of the copper coin was melted and recast. Zhang Heng then used the only remaining one as his credit. Basically, whoever held this copper coin was his messenger.

And the whole southeastern city, no one dares to ignore what he said out there.
