Li Ji and Li Siniang are actually a little temperamental, but they are not harsh people, but the yellow-haired boy in front of him is really hated.

Now she wears a lot of clothes that Lao Luo bought for her, although Lao Luo did not deliberately buy clothes for Li Ji alone, but the military men who have been influenced by secular culture in later generations actually have some aesthetic cultivation, plus there is no shortage of money, when he was in Smyrna, Lao Luo led everyone to loot some ready-to-wear shops, and the clothes purchased for Li Ji were also part of it.

Lao Luo's concept of choosing clothes is different from that of people in this era, there are no taboos or professional avoidance ideas at all, how beautiful and practical the selection is, and Li Ji doesn't understand these twists and turns of the Romans. Therefore, the Persian clothes with boots and colored robes and pointed round hats were very popular with her.

Wearing such a favorite dress, and it was bought by a heartfelt man, Li Ji was immediately annoyed by such a bastard talking nonsense. Fortunately, before she could get angry, Lao Luo's order had already been given.

And Lao Luo's methods were even more unexpected than she expected, the idea of hanging people on the flagpole was simply amazing. God knows what Lao Luo thought, from hanging people on the cross on the island of Crete to now hanging people on the flagpole, there is no such punishment in later generations.

Li Ji, who came to her senses, was a little worried, this is not her own place, the other party dares to be so rampant, it is definitely not a good match, "Third brother, you won't cause any trouble, right?" ”

"Siniang, don't worry, if you can't die, you'll be fine." Lao Luo looked up at the nephew of the so-called governor who was hanging on the flagpole, and the guy was already colorless and shrunk into a ball on the flagpole.

More than a dozen of the troublemakers just now were tied up by ropes and thrown into a pile, and the soldiers on guard also looked at this scene with a smile, and the lively crowd around them was talking about it, saying what language they had, Lao Luo could only vaguely understand a few, probably many people here were businessmen passing by.

Alke, who had already bypassed to find out the news, ran back at this time, "Boss, I have inquired clearly, and the person hanging on it is indeed the nephew of Governor Augustus, whose name is Antiano Farrell, who is a bastard who does all kinds of evil, and has a very bad reputation in this Ankara city. ”

"Well, anything else?" Lao Luo nodded, this kind of thing can run rampant for a while, there must be someone behind it, otherwise where does this incompetent thing come from?

Alker breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "It is said that the governor Augustus Farrell is also an outsider, and he has only been here for two years, but it is said that he has the background of the Senate, but there are few local people who listen to him. ”

"So it seems that this Augustus Farrell doesn't have a good control over the local territory, and his nephew can't manage it well."

"That's right, the most influential local in Ankara is the sheriff Hex Fediliani, who has been in the military for many years and has a lot of appeal among the garrison and citizens."

"So this Sheriff of Hux is more authoritative than the Governor?" Lao Luo thinks that this thing is very common, and it will not be the same in later generations, and the examples of foreign parties being completely hollowed out by the local party should not be too common.

"It should be, but it's hard to know the details, after all, we've just arrived here." Alker told the truth, after a long time, he also understood the master in front of him, and he was not worried about being blamed for his recklessness.

In fact, after listening to half of Alke's report, Lao Luo had a bottom in his heart, the matter in front of him is not a matter, what is the nephew of a governor who has been set up? What's more, this nephew is still unreasonable, no matter how barbaric this era is, the superficial truth is always needed, otherwise this empire in front of him would have fallen a long time ago.

When Hux came to the empty field of Lao Luo's camp, he only saw a yellow hair hanging on the high flagpole, which was crying wolf, and a large group of people were surrounded by people watching the excitement and talking nonsense.

The custom of watching the excitement is not unique to the East, no matter when and where, there are always some guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and there are also people who like to gossip. In later generations, this is called a rumor, and here in Ankara, it is a big bustle, the entire square area is full of caravans from all sides, a few are not caravans, but also civilians who rely on caravans to survive, once this kind of lively rumors go out, Ankara's situation is not too good.

From the position of the leader to the position of sheriff, Hux is no longer a pure soldier, governing the army is one thing, governing the government is actually a troublesome thing, he is now staring at the title of sheriff, but it is the power of the governor.

Hux gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd of onlookers, but it was not good to use violence to expel these people, the social status of Roman merchants was not comparable to that of Eastern merchants, even the emperor or king could not break the law against merchants. What's more, half of Ankara's military spending depends on the taxes and fees paid by these merchants, and without the merchants, there is no need for this military town to exist.

Walking under the flagpole and looking up at the guy who was hanging on the top with a hoarse voice, Hux couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at the same time, the guy above was the nephew of a political opponent and had never respected himself, and he was annoyed that these daring guys in front of him didn't leave room for themselves at all.

The camp in front of him is still being arranged, and the overall look is clear at a glance, Hux can tell who the leader is from more than 100 people at a glance, no way, even if Lao Luo's dress is in line with this era, the temperament in his bones is different, the kind of man who came out of the army, the toughness in his bones can't be mixed in the crowd, even if he is surrounded by former gladiators, he can't hide it. Hux, who was also from the military, immediately found the right opponent.

Of course, Lao Luo had already seen Hux who was surrounded by guards, but he didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to talk, and directly assigned Helton to greet the visitor, and the casual instructions were for him to play at will. That's right, it's Helton, who used to sell horses, and that guy has the air of a businessman, which is perfect for ushering in.

Helton had nothing to fear, and walked directly in front of Hux: "Dare to ask, but Your Excellency the Archon?" ”

Hux withdrew his gaze from Lao Luo, and the guy in front of him who was a businessman made him even more unhappy, "I'm Sheriff Hux, are you the leader of the caravan?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Sheriff, our leader is a little annoyed with the people around the camp and is thinking about how to clean up these bastards." Helton is a bastard, for him, it is nothing but death, and what can the official in front of him do to himself.

"You...... I can't talk to you, call your leader over," Hux suppressed his anger, and the leader of a small caravan set up a fight with himself, but the matter in front of him was obviously unreasonable, even if there was an army in the rear, Roman law was not a joke.

"Your Excellency, your local security is not good, do you want to hold us accountable?" Helton's words directly exposed the truth, and he had no good impression of the Roman army and officials, which was not at all merciless.

"It's my responsibility to govern the place, and it's not your turn to evaluate." If you can describe Hux's expression, it is estimated that it will take a long paragraph, well, the more figurative metaphor is to imagine a bull with fire in its nostrils.

Lao Luo's hearing is better, and he heard the conversation between the two sides from a distance, he really didn't expect this slippery "" Helton can actually say that the other party is speechless, but if he continues to talk about it like this, it is the rhythm of turning his face. Lao Luo walked up behind Helton, put his arm on his shoulder, pushed him away, and said directly to Hux: "I am Bartoll, the leader of the caravan, and Your Excellency is Sheriff Hex?" ”

Helton's obedient sideways side gave way to Lao Luo and stood by Lao Luo's side.

"I'm Sheriff Hux." Hux couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression when he saw a taller and stronger yellow-skinned man standing in front of him, but his duty did not allow him to retreat, but the anger in his heart sank rapidly, and he replied with a steady breath, and then pointed to Antiano hanging on the flagpole, "I wonder if Mr. Bartol can put him down and talk first?" ”

Lao Luo was reluctant to passively solve the problem, the guy in front of him was still a little self-contained, but he agreed to the other party's request, and his momentum immediately weakened, "Your Excellency Hex, I don't know if you have a family?" ”

Maybe it's because of the other party's military temperament, or maybe it's because the other party's words are quite kind, Hux's anger has disappeared a lot, but the content of the other party's language makes him a little puzzled, "What does Mr. Bartol mean?" ”

"How would you react if someone insulted your wife? What to do with the person who insulted your wife? Lao Luo was a little calm at this time.

"Huh?" Hux's brown eyes immediately woke up, there was a trap in the other party's question, and if he answered, he would definitely fall into the language trap, if he didn't answer, was he letting someone bully his family? This is a cunning fellow, who actually avoided talking about the horses, but seized Antianus's words and attacked directly, but "Well, if someone insults my family, I will make the other person regret why he is still alive." ”

"Well, Lord Hux, congratulations on our common opinion," Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was not a reckless person, so the problem would be easily solved, he also waved his hand at the guy hanging on it, "That guy insulted my family, according to Roman law, how do you say it should be solved?" ”

Hex didn't have the responsibility to endorse Antiano, but the issue of policing was within his purview," he ...... According to Roman law, forty lashes or hanging, exile, depending on the circumstances......"

"Thank you, Your Excellency Hux, for your legal inquiry," Lao Luo's mood was not to mention how pleasant, this Hux was really cooperative, "but the whipping is avoided, my family doesn't like the smell of blood, the position is higher, the wind will be more refreshing, I let him hang up, I just hope he can clear his head." ”

If Hux could understand Lao Luo's expression, he would definitely scold loudly, the ghost has a tacit understanding with you, can it be said that Orientals are so cunning? Clear your head, what the hell, it is estimated that if you don't get frozen overnight, you will at least get seriously ill. But this has nothing to do with himself, the other party did not deliberately offend him, nor did he deliberately make trouble. There is no need to ask for trouble yourself, as for the unlucky ghost above, let his governor uncle solve it himself.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard for this little thing, and it is almost time for dinner, so please allow me to invite you to have dinner with us." Lao Luo looked at the other party and was silent, and immediately understood the loosening of the other party's attitude, and I don't know if it will offend the other party's taboo when he treats and gives gifts in the future, but as a newcomer, inviting the chief executive to have dinner together is always a channel of communication, even if he is not ready to stay for a long time.

"Well, it's okay, it's all because of a misunderstanding, welcome Mr. Bartol to Ankara." Hux can put the governor in the air, and he is not a person with a stiff brain, the other party's invitation can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill, and he does not need to offend a passing god of wealth, not to mention that the other party is definitely not a soldier next door, and there is no need to worry about the problem of fine work. His Excellency the Sheriff, who wanted to open it, simply talked to himself and accepted Lao Luo's invitation with a smile.

As for the unlucky ghosts who were hung on the flagpole, and the gangsters who were tied up and thrown aside, no one cared about them at all.
