48 Hours a Day

These vents are not noticeable, they are basically on the back of the idol, they are basically invisible without going around, and in addition to the vents, you can see that the tablet itself is movable, which means that the base of the idol is not solid, but is constructed with an arched structure like the Flavi Circular Theatre.

Zhang Heng removed the tablet and saw that the space below was very small, basically accommodating only one child under the age of 14. In addition, Zhang Heng also found some bread scum and a bowl of fresh water that had not been finished.

But besides that, Zhang Heng couldn't find anything else, so he went around behind the temple, where the priests lived.

The young priest, who had previously opened the door to welcome him, has now gone back to bed and entered the Dreamland, where, in addition to him, there are two slightly older priests and six followers of miscellaneous work.

Zhang Heng completed the search of their residence without waking them up, however, not much had been gained, so he retreated back to the statue's hall, opened the bronze gate, and left the temple silently.

A minute later, Zhang Heng stood in front of Juno's temple.

He was preparing to reinvent the technique and threw out the stones in his hand, but the next moment the temple door suddenly opened itself.

A woman dressed as a priest walked out of there with a group of children.

Zhang Heng had no time to climb to the roof. In a hurry, he could only roll aside and roll directly to the edge of the cliff. When the gate was fully open, he hung his body directly on the cliff and climbed the rock wall with one hand.

He moved quickly, but because of the sudden accident, the first child to step out of the door discovered something. The child stopped and looked somewhat suspiciously at the cliff where Zhang Heng was hiding.

“Priest Vera, I think I saw something. ”

The priestess named Vera looked in the direction indicated by the child and found nothing unusual, and then said, “It's just the wind, Mosmir. Let's get out of here. Tomorrow you all have to get up early. ”

Mosmir blinked and did not feel that what he saw was the wind, but listened to the priestess and continued to walk forward, while the other children followed him.

When all the children left, the bronze door did not close immediately, but a male priest came out of it, but compared to the female priest, he did not pay much attention to etiquette. After seeing the children leave, he went straight to the edge of the cliff, untied his pants and was about to release water.

But it didn't occur to me that it wasn't his urine that came out first, it was his blood.

A dark shadow with the smell of death did not know when to go around behind him, slit his neck and held his back so that he could not scream when he died. The male priest reached out and grabbed the killer's sleeve, seemingly wanting to leave the killer here, but he only lasted a few seconds and gradually lost his strength.

Zhang Heng then laid aside the male priest who had become a corpse. He grabbed the other priest's right hand and looked at him. He had a number of cocoons on the male priest's forefinger and thumb, and also had scars on his arm. Obviously, he had previously undergone rigorous military training and possibly even participated in the war. Rather than being a priest, he was a soldier in a priestly coat.

And in terms of his appearance and skin, he should not have been born in Rome, but, if not surprisingly, the elite that Autrus brought from the border, and one of his most trusted guards.

Zhang Heng knew that this time he was touching the right place.

Speaking of which, Zhang Heng can find Otruth's hideout and thank Clint, if it wasn't for the information that Clint revealed when he was chatting with him in the dungeon that night, Zhang Heng really couldn't find this place.

Clint describes Otrus as having witchcraft that can get into a person's head, knowing what you're thinking, and having had the experience of being irrigated before, Zhang Hengdang thought Clint was talking about Otrus' use of vomiting agents.

But the problem of prying a person's mouth with the plant alkali in Donghuan is huge. The first is the problem of toxicity. Although I don't know what means Otrus neutralized some of the toxicity, it didn't make the toxicity completely disappear. There may not be much problem drinking that glass of alcohol with Zhang Heng's physical qualities, but it's hard for ordinary people to say.

Also, in terms of efficiency, this is not a good way to gather intelligence. Otrus needs to give the target a drink of formulated medicine and wine, and find a way to take the target to a place where no one else can begin the questioning, so that he can question seven or eight people in one day, and it is impossible for him to know, as Clint said, the secrets of both civilians and nobles.

And Zhang Heng didn't think that Otrus would waste Dongxiao on civilians.

He should have other means of gathering intelligence, more like a special means of responding to certain emergencies.

Beyond that, Clint mentioned three years ago that Otrus had eaten, that dock workers on the banks of the Tiber River were raising wages and paralyzing traffic on the river, and that Otrus had not been able to get any news in advance.

These things don't seem to explain anything when they come apart, but when they come together, the answer comes out.

- Otrus is gathering intelligence through the temple.

Temples and bathhouses are probably few places open to the poor and aristocrats, and are two of the places where people like to discuss secrets the faithful don't hesitate to say their most secret wishes when they pray, and likewise many people like to talk about business and some private matters in the bathroom.

And Zhang Heng ruled out the baths because of what Clint called the embarrassment of Autrus three years ago. He couldn't get word of the dock workers beforehand because most of them were Jews, either Jews or Christians, who didn't come back to pray to the Roman gods.

At the same time, Zhang Heng was more inclined to the temple, and another reason was that Otruz had been sentenced to death by a sentence of the court priest. If his father hadn't finally sent him away, he would have died at the age of four, and eventually he had lost his prince's identity even though he had survived, and could never live in the sun again.

After many years, he returned to Rome and regained his power. Zhang Heng was not convinced that he would not retaliate against the priests in the temple, so that he could reasonably take control of the temples and turn them into his own intelligence-gathering place.

Zhang Heng's hiding place found under the stone seat of the Jupiter statue is the best proof, and the children who were previously taken away by the priestess should be Autrus' ears.
