48 Hours a Day

Municipalities originated in the Roman Republican era and were initially reserved for the civilian population, mainly responsible for the maintenance of the temple and the management of the archives, after which nobility could also become a municipality as it evolved, while the responsibilities of municipal officials changed somewhat.

From the management of archives to the maintenance of temples, to the maintenance of municipalities, public facilities and even part of policing throughout the city, in the Republican era, municipal officials were unpaid and often had to stick a lot of money in themselves. Being a municipal governor like Caesar had been bankrupt, owed an ass debt, and even prevented from leaving Rome by the debtor.

Of course, Caesar is not a fool, and of course he won't do anything good.

Municipal officials are one of the most effective ways to gain popular sentiment and acquire political capital. For example, if you pay yourself to build a road, you will of course all be thankful for Caesar's considerable reputation during his tenure as a municipal governor, which was thrown out by real gold and silver, which makes it easy to understand why Caesar went bankrupt at that time.

Municipal magistrates are also the predecessors of treasurers and magistrates, and while not necessarily the first to become treasurers or magistrates, according to statistics, treasurers and magistrates of municipal origin are indeed the mainstay of politics.

Andrea has been a municipal governor for three years, and this year he is expected to be promoted to treasurer, and he certainly doesn't want to miss anything at this critical juncture.

So I heard that he arrived at the scene the first time after the sewer was damaged. The good news is that the damage was not serious and it was estimated that he could fix it in two days. The bad news is that he would have to pay for it himself if he didn't want it to become a stain.

Of course, he can still afford this money, but the problem is that Andrea doesn't know who destroyed the sewer pipeline, and he doesn't know if the group of people will come to destroy it after repairing it. As a municipal administrator, he can mobilize some people, but he is responsible for a large area, almost half the city, and it is impossible to have people guard every section of the sewer pipeline. This is stupid, and there are many public facilities in the city besides the sewer pipeline.

Andrea was most worried about who was targeting him, so that the other party could do more. Passive defense could not be defended. Andrea now faced the same problems as before Zhang Heng. He needed to find out who was behind the dark hand before he could devise a strategy for the next.

And Andrea spent the afternoon putting up a list of potential offenders, and found that a recently renowned Orientalist was at the top of the list, plus Zhang Heng had just visited Elder Divobrayeh yesterday and turned around and went straight to Cobb's residence, and Andrea had to start accepting the reality that her hands and feet at the mine had been exposed.

And now someone is dealing with him in a way that makes him feel very familiar, just like what happened at the Pinota mine.

Divobrayer, is this old fox gonna stand up for it?

If Andrea had only suspected before, he would have believed 70% after receiving Daegius' "secret message," because Daegius said that Zhang Heng had not taken him to Diwabraye, but only told him something before he left that his little character should not be involved.

This is also the real reason why Andrea feels he was sold by Divobrayer, in the usual style of that old fox, if he really colludes with Zhang Heng, he definitely doesn't want to make a big bang drum, all irrelevant people know that it is in his interest to exclude Daegius.

As if to corroborate his guess, Zhang Heng came outside his Domus in the afternoon.

The other side is no longer the gladiator who used his life in the arena to entertain people. Being an advisor to Khanmoud means that he has set foot in the empire's power layer. Even if both sides are hostile, Andrea will have to welcome Zhang Heng into the house.

The mayor wanted to chill, but Zhang Heng said directly, “Shall we go to your study? ”

Andrea subconsciously wanted to refuse, but at this point in his head flashed through a sewer accident not long ago, eventually nodding his head.

So they came to Andea's study, and Andea closed the door, and there were only two of them left in the room. Later or the municipal governor first asked, breaking some silence, “Don't know what Counsellor Zhang Heng came to see me about? ”

“Oh, I was shocked to hear of a little accident at the sewer not so long ago, and just passing by, I thought I'd come by the door and see if I could do something about it.” Zhang Heng did not wait for Andrea's invitation and pulled the chair straight in.

“Counsellor Zhang Heng is really very polite.” What flashed in the eyes of the municipal governor, Cold Road, "my people have taken control of the situation and believe it will be fixed soon, there is nothing left to help. ”

“Well, I came to Rome shortly after, more than two months ago, just a gladiator, so much is still studying… so if I'm wrong afterwards, I hope Mr. Municipality understands.” Zhang Hengton went on to say, “A friend told me that it was not too complicated to want to stand on the political scene in Rome. Just do one thing right, that is to make friends. Today, your friend is in trouble, you reach out for him, so tomorrow, when you are in trouble, there will naturally be friends to help you solve it. Everyone is for me, I am for everyone. ”

“What are you trying to say?” The mayor frowned.

“I am making friends as he said,” Zhang Hengdian stalled, "you should also know that I am now in charge of copper statue casting, but there was a little trouble in the process, the Pinota mine collapsed, our ore supply was cut off, and work has been suspended for some time, I want to get back to work quickly. ”

Zhang Heng looked into the other side of Andrea's eyes as he spoke.

The mayor laughed, “What does this have to do with me? Besides, you already have friends. Didn't you let Divobrayette take a word with you and settle it soon? ”

“I didn't say you had anything to do with this. As for Divobraya, I didn't know him. I went to him yesterday, but he turned me down.” Zhang Heng shook his head, “so I can only come to you and take a chance. ”

Andrea almost didn't say anything, but he came to this mouth. Zhang Hengblaye didn't even admit his relationship. Without Diwoblaye's help, how could he have touched his Domus the next day?

If Andrea had previously had only 70% suspicion of Divobrayeh's involvement, it was now 10% after Zhang Heng denied it, because it was filled with a unique array of Divobrayeh dares not to do it properly, nobody wanted to be guilty.
