Chapter 184: New Job

The little slave girl opened the door, but instead of seeing the money, the person who delivered the money saw four heavily armed guards, which made her a little nervous.

"You...... Who are you looking for? ”

"Oh, may I ask if Zhang Heng, the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, lives here?" A young man who didn't look much older than Zhang Hengda squeezed in from behind the four guards.

"Yes, that's right." Zhang Heng's voice came from behind the little slave girl, and then he also walked over.

The little slave girl didn't look like she was looking for trouble, so she quickly opened the door and retreated to the corner.

Zhang Heng shook hands with the young man, and then let the other party into the house.

A smile appeared on the young man's face, "Hello, I have also watched your gladiatorial performance before, it is very exciting, especially the battle between you and the giant, it has transcended the description of words, it is definitely the greatest battle I have ever seen, maybe I can tell my grandson in thirty years...... Oh, I don't think I have introduced myself yet, I'm Clinder, an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Zhang Heng's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, he knew that Clinder, according to the information given by the old Persian trainer, Clinder and his target Oterus were Commodus's most trusted advisers, and could even be called Commodus's right-hand man, just one in the light and one in the dark, helping Commodus govern the country together and deal with threats from all sides.

Zhang Heng guessed that Commodus couldn't wait to recruit him, but he didn't expect Clint to come forward.

You must know that with Clinder's current position by Commodus's side, he must have a lot to do, and he could have sent a subordinate to find him, but the other party insisted on coming over by himself, which was obviously sending a signal of goodwill.

Zhang Heng invited Clint to sit down at the table, which was the only place in the house where guests could be entertained, and then asked the little slave girl to pour two glasses of water.

"I guess you already know what I'm here for, yes, our Imperial Majesty admires you very much, and I hope you can consider doing something for us." Clinder didn't talk nonsense, and as soon as he sat down, he revealed his intentions.

However, Zhang Heng did not agree immediately, but said, "Of course, I also hope to share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor, but as you can see, I am just a gladiator who has just been freed, and I am from a distant foreign country, and I don't know much about politics, so I am worried about ......."

"I can understand your concerns, but don't worry, my friend, this is not the kind of place that exudes the smell of decay in the Senate, there are greedy old guys everywhere, and I am only from a civilian background, mixed in the market, but fortunately we have an open-minded male lord who is not confined to his origin, and is willing to reuse people like you and me, give us a chance, let us grow." Clint patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder, "So you don't need to be anxious at all, as long as you have the ability, there will always be a place for you here." ”

"So where do I start?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Very well, it seems that you are ready for your new job, so I'll tell you exactly what you're going to do." Clint was still that polite and enthusiastic look, and spent a full quarter of an hour explaining in detail to Zhang Heng what he was going to do, and he was very patient with all questions.

Considering that Zhang Heng was doing things for the first time, his work was not complicated, and at the same time, it was not completely out of touch with his previous status as a gladiator.

In the second century AD, cameras and other technical forensic equipment did not appear, and how to maintain law and order in the city became a headache for every ruler, especially the population of Rome has exceeded one million, most of which are low-level, thieves, liars, killers...... Active in the streets, there are crimes happening almost all the time.

The patrol's job is to stop the crime in time and catch the fugitive as quickly as possible after the crime occurs, and the first job Zhang Heng received from Commodus was to assist the patrol team in maintaining law and order.

"Of course, you can't take care of such a big city by yourself, so you just need to pick a certain area." As he spoke, Clint took out a map of the city of Rome and unfolded it on the table.

But at this moment, a man dressed as a servant walked in from outside, leaned on Clinder's ear and said something, Clinde's face changed slightly, and when he looked at Zhang Heng again, he showed a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng took the initiative to speak, "The matter has almost been explained clearly, if you have any urgent matters over there, you can go and do it first." ”

Clinder seemed to be a little reluctant when he heard this, "Your Majesty is very concerned about your affairs, I specially pushed the arrangements for the morning, and I originally wanted to take you to the place of work to see it in person, but there was an emergency just now that I really have to deal with it, so be it," Clinder seemed to think about it, and beckoned a guard outside the door to come in, "This is Pannonax of the Praetorian Guard, he has dealt with the patrol team a lot before, you can ask him to help the staff officer in the matter of selecting the area, don't worry." ”

Clinder lowered his voice slightly, "...... It doesn't matter if you don't make too many achievements, as long as there are no major mistakes, Your Majesty, I will speak for you. ”

"Thank you very much." Zhang Heng also replied.

"Welcome to join us, it's always exciting to see the team grow." The corners of Clinder's mouth rose again, and the sunny young man seemed to be particularly fond of laughing, "Let's join forces and give the old antiques of the Senate who can only talk about their backgrounds a little color." ”

With that, he hurried away with his servant, while three of the four guards he had brought with him continued to follow him, while a man with a knife wound between his eyebrows remained, presumably the Pannonax from the Praetorian Guard that Clinder had spoken.

As a result, before Zhang Heng could greet him, Pannonax's face pulled down first, walked directly to the table, pointed to a place above, and said rudely, "The area you are responsible for is here, go and report after dark." ”

"Wait, but that lord said we could choose our own area?" Before Zhang Heng could speak, the little slave girl in the corner first hugged him.

Panonax showed a sneer on his face and looked at Zhang Heng like a vulture staring at its prey, "Are you here to work, or are you here to recruit?" Would you like to put you in charge of guarding the palace? ”

Zhang Heng waved his hand to stop the little slave girl from speaking again, nodded and said, "I know, then here." ”

Pannonax was a little surprised when he heard this, in his mind, Zhang Heng should be furious at this time, and if he doesn't do it, he will do it, you must know that the other party is the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, although he didn't see that performance, but he thinks that Zhang Heng's strength should be very good.

Such people basically can't restrain their desire to do it at the first time when they encounter trouble, because this is the easiest way for them to solve the trouble, but Zhang Heng doesn't seem to have any plans in this regard.

Panonax couldn't even see that Zhang Heng was forcibly patient, the latter looked calm, as if he had known that such a thing would happen, which made Pannonax a little uncomfortable, but it didn't matter, the pit he dug for Zhang Heng was not the only one, the other party could hide this time, and he couldn't hide next time.
