Chapter 230: Pull into the water
"Did I do anything to make you suspicious when we went to see Klaus?" Dachius asked.
"No, not strictly speaking, it's not you, remember what I was doing before we came in?" Zhang Heng asked.
"You're looking around and looking at the people in the hallway...... Oh, you saw Andrea's people. Dekius said.
"I don't know who those people are, and I'm not even sure what their purpose is, but my friends in the southeastern city told me that those guys had been following us, and that the killer had killed him a few minutes before we arrived, in other words, someone realized that we were about to find the final answer, so they rushed to kill him to prevent him from talking nonsense, but this raised another question."
Zhang Heng said, "Even if they are following us, how do they know our movements so clearly?" ”
"That's when you started to doubt me?" "So casually fabricated the claim that Amidio was likely to leave evidence." ”
"Well, it's not a fabrication, the possibility of this kind of thing is not small." Zhang Hengdao.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll really find out the evidence he left behind and hide it secretly later?" Dachius couldn't help but ask.
"We're in the same room, my friend, do you really think you can hide your every move from me?" Zhang Heng sighed and said.
Dachius was silent.
"The only question that bothers me now is, how deeply are you involved in this matter?" Zhang Heng looked at Dai Chius, "Personally, I tend to think that there is an agreement between you and Andrea, but my understanding is limited, because as things develop, your look of surprise doesn't seem to be disguised, unless you are an incomparably good acting master." ”
"I think your childhood energy has contributed a little bit to your acting career, but it shouldn't completely fool me, especially after seeing Amidio's corpse, your fear and shock are real. Therefore," Zhang Heng snapped his fingers, "I was a little surprised that you didn't hesitate to hide my necklace after that. ”
After a moment of silence, Dechius finally spoke, "What you know about me is only hearsay, and you don't know my actual life, and if there is an opportunity in front of me to take my beloved away from my family, I will not miss it in any way." ”
"If you really have the bargaining chips you can bargain with Andrea, and why do you think you won't fall into Amidio's fate?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Besides, I'm curious about what Andrea promised you to come to his side." ”
"He told me that as long as I wasn't nosy, he would offer me a stable and decent job when it was over, so that my wife and I could move out of here." Dekius said.
"That sounds good, you should do as he says, leave the necklace alone, stay by my side and continue to play Watson's role." Zhang Heng said sincerely.
"But I want more, I also want to get ahead and get into the Senate so I can really hold my head high in front of my father and that bastard brother, and if, if that necklace is really important physical evidence left by Amidio, I have the capital to negotiate with Andrea." Dachius clenched his fists.
"Courage is commendable." Zhang Heng praised, but then he changed his words and added, "It's a pity that I don't have any brains." ”
“…………”
"Okay, I have a rough idea of your place in this matter, and now it's time for us to settle the ore matter." Zhang Heng clapped his hands and said.
"Are you going to find Andrea to have a showdown with him?" Dachius asked.
"Amidio is dead, if you were Andrea, would you admit that the mine was your own?"
"Probably not." Daikius said truthfully.
"That's right, even if I take you to the door to confront him, he won't recognize it, and strictly speaking, he just told you not to meddle, and he didn't tell you what to do, you just took the necklace for free play."
"And how do you convince him to get the Binotta mine back in work?"
"Knowing who the main messenger behind the scenes is, it is very simple to let the mine resume work, I don't need him to admit that he did this, as long as he also catches his sore feet, we can treat others in the same way," Zhang Heng smiled, "But you still don't know the specific process, you can continue to fulfill the agreement with Andrea, don't meddle in things." ”
"I ...... I don't quite understand. "Aren't you going to hold me accountable for this?" ”
"Yes, you've been my Watson for a while, after all, and it's not in my interest to hold you accountable." Zhang Heng said, "In addition, you can rest assured, even if Andeya knows that I am dealing with him, he will not suspect you, but from now on, you have to tell me in time if there is any news, and I may also have something to do with you, but don't worry, I will pay you when I want you to do something, you want to enter the Senate?" I might be able to help you with that too. ”
…………
After learning who the main messenger behind the scenes was, Zhang Heng immediately made a plan to fight back, but before that, he had to do one thing first, that is, to muddy the water and pull a person into the water by the way.
Early the next morning, Zhang Heng went to visit the patriarch Diwobraye, who was still very cautious, as a well-known neutral faction in the Senate, he had also heard of some people secretly fighting with the newly enthroned young emperor during this time.
Adhering to the consistent attitude that no one should be offended, he welcomed Zhang Heng, the new consultant, to visit, but he was not very enthusiastic, so he chatted casually in the front hall, but then Zhang Heng proposed to go to the study to see his collection, and Diwo Braye was not good at refusing in person, so the two stayed in the study for a while, and then probably felt bored, Zhang Heng proposed his farewell.
So Diwobraye, who breathed a sigh of relief, sent Zhang Heng to the front hall and watched as the Oriental left his Domus.
As a result, as soon as Zhang Heng went out with his front foot, he went straight to Cobb's residence on the outskirts of the city, and he also relied on Cobb's residence for half a day as concocted, which made Andrea, who was secretly monitoring Zhang Heng's whereabouts, very nervous, of course he knew that Divobraye was the biggest buyer of Cobb's farm.
Although he asked Amidio to negotiate with Cobb, willing to help Cobb pay the liquidated damages of the mine, and was also willing to pay Cobb another sum of money, but the mine is only a small part of Cobb's business, and the majority of his income still comes from his farm.
However, Andrea still has a trace of luck, after all, the old fox Diwo Braye has been neutral for so long, there is no reason to suddenly join the battle now, of course an Andya Diwo Braye is not afraid, but you must know that Andya is only the one who has been pushed to the forefront, and there are more heavyweight political alliances behind him, otherwise Andrea, a small city magistrate, would not dare to shake the imperial power alone.
Divobraye probably wouldn't have been so blatantly hostile to them, otherwise he would have had to hug Commodus's thighs from tonight onwards, and this might just be the Oriental man's bluff.
However, another day later, Andeya got the bad news that the sewer pipes in his area had been damaged by unknown people last night.
