48 Hours a Day

When Daegius stood outside his lobbyist friend's door, he always felt strange, and he didn't know how things got to this point.

Clearly he only took a good job that didn't need to be bothered. As long as he lay still, he could be appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, but now he and Zhang Heng are looking for a red birthmark. However, as Zhang Heng said, this is it, he can only try to find the messenger behind the scenes. Otherwise, when Kang Maud gets angry, he will not only lose his job, but also affect the Emperor's trust in his family.

However, unlike his nervousness, Zhang Heng next to him looked relaxed from beginning to end, and even had the mood to gauge the guests moving in and out of the corridor.

Daegius is a little confused about what's going on with Zhang Heng. Don't you have to take any responsibility for the consultant if the copper statue doesn't deliver him as scheduled? Still ready to push things to his head, if that's the case, then he's too miserable.

Daegius banged on his lobbyist friend's door in a grumpy mood.

The latter was still napping, awakened by knocking on the door, climbing out of bed, spending a little time searching for clothes, stepping on the floor and squeaking, then hurrying to open the door and poke his head out.

“It's you, aren't you busy casting bronze statues, how come you have time to come to me?” Daegius' lobbyist friend was surprised to see someone outside the door.

“We're in a bit of trouble and need your help.” Daegius looked at Zhang Heng as he spoke. He didn't know how appropriate it was to say this, and Zhang Heng didn't say it, so Daegius just said, "We're looking for a man with a red birthmark on his face. ”

“People with red birthmarks on their faces?” Daegius' lobbyist friend shrugged, "Well... haven't you heard of anyone like that, anything else? ”

“Ah?” Daegius stunned, “No... nothing else. ”

“Good luck finding who you're looking for.” Daegius's lobbyist friend is closing the door as he speaks.

But the next moment, a hand blocked the door he was going to close.

“Mind if we go in and sit down?” Zhang Heng said.

“Honestly, I do mind. It's a mess.” Daegius' lobbyist friend rubbed some fluttering hair.

“It's okay, we're not here to talk to you anyway. Please say love.” Zhang Heng finished and walked in.

Daegius' lobbyist friend tried to stop him, but his little plate was quickly pushed aside.

“Ah, who are you? I don't even know you! Why did you break into my apartment?” Daegius' lobbyist friend screamed in excitement.

Zhang Heng ignored him and measured the small apartment, as its owner said, it was quite messy, bottles of wine and dirty clothes were thrown everywhere, there were two drunk women on the bed, in addition, this was a second floor room with balcony, the rent was high, and Zhang Heng's apartment by the river Tiber was a similar house.

“Uh, this is Zhang Heng, the gladiator champion of the Flavi Circular Theatre, and now advisor to His Majesty the Emperor.” Daegius tried to play the field, “this is my friend, Klaus, who was a lobbyist for the senators in the Senate. ”

“Gladiators? No wonder I like to work with brute force. I'm different. I eat with my head and mouth.” Klaus snorted, grinning.

“Your head, if it's really smart enough, should behave politely, or I'll probably throw you out of here in case I'm unhappy.” Zhang Hengyou.

Klaus's face changed slightly when he heard the speech. Instead of looking at Zhang Heng, he turned his eyes to his friend, Daegius, and said, “Can you explain this to me?! ”

“It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,” Daegius quickly explained, "We were tracking down a man with a red birthmark on his face. Counsellor Zhang Heng thought he was supposed to be working for someone with a high weight in the Senate. I know you know a lot of people in the Senate, so I came to you. ”

“You're really looking for something for your friends.” Klausla covered the sheets with two women in bed, "I made myself clear when you were outside the door, and I didn't know there was such a person. ”

“Well, think about it. It's important to us.” Daegius accompanied him with a smile.

And Zhang Heng on the other side also said at this time, "Listen to Daegius, when a bill is submitted to the Senate, you will put a needle lead in it to persuade those who would otherwise agree or disagree to change their position. ”

“Mm-hmm. What's wrong?” Klaus's attitude toward Zhang Heng is still bad, but because he fears that the other person will really throw himself downstairs, he won't dare to say any more provocative words.

“I'm sure it's full of unseen deals. How about I send two guards with you? ”

“How could you do that?!” Klaus was angry.

“Because I am an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor, it is also my job to investigate corruption in the Senate and to better develop the Empire. ”

“You will investigate the corruption of the Senate, even if you are an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor, and I do not believe you dare offend so many nobles.” Klaus laughed.

“Who said I was going to offend so many nobles, I just wanted to find a good reason to send someone to keep an eye on you.” Zhang Hengfang said, “I don't care how corrupt the Senate is or what your colleagues do every day. ”

Klaus was shocked and angry again this time. He finally knew what Zhang Heng was planning to do. Guys like them who were working privately to replace employers and make agreements with people. Low profile was their way of survival. If he followed the two guards behind him, he could do nothing, and the competition in this industry was fierce. If it wasn't for a month or two, he would be replaced by other lobbyists.

“If I were you, I'd answer his questions honestly.” Zhang Heng pointed to Daikius.

Klaus looked a little pale, then went to the table and poured himself a glass of water, drank it and relieved his emotions, then asked, "What are you looking for him for? ”

But Zhang Heng hasn't spoken yet, and Klaus himself continues, “Never mind, don't tell me, I don't want to know. ”

“It's a wise choice to be an ace lobbyist in the Senate.” Zhang Heng praised.

Klaus quickly wrote down an address on Saffron Paper and gave it to Daegius, "The man you're looking for, like me, is a lobbyist, forgive me for not telling you where he lives before, and what's most taboo in our business is minding your own business, one less thing. ”

“I understand.” Daegius took the note, and I'm sorry, “I said.“ I'm sorry, I'll buy you a drink when this is over. ”

“No, as long as you forget you have a friend like me, thank God.” Klaus calmed his face.
