When Zhang Heng finished questioning the group of money-robbing teenagers, the sky began to darken.

Zhang Heng didn't rush to the patrol to report, but took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to find a small restaurant, and solved the dinner first, he ordered a pickled anchovy, a barbecue plus a small piece of goat cheese, and a bowl of coarse oatmeal paste, so many things only cost less than six cesters.

Zhang Heng also took advantage of this meal to learn about the consumption level of this place.

The price here is only about half of what it is outside, but correspondingly, the amount and taste are so-so, and the raw materials used in the barbecue ordered by Zhang Heng are also a little suspicious, anyway, it doesn't taste like chicken or rabbit.

Of course, considering the cost performance, this is not a problem for the money-saving party, and the main thing that really prevents people from outside from coming to dine is the safety problem, especially after dark, being robbed and stolen is just a trivial matter, and it is possible to give away all the lives if you don't do it.

When Zhang Heng was eating, he saw two diners fighting to grab a waitress, the winner finally went up to the second floor with the beautiful waitress, and the loser staggered out of the restaurant with the back of his head covered, similar things abound everywhere, and Zhang Heng has no interest in watching it anymore.

After dinner, he went to the patrol station.

Said to be a station, but in fact it is a dangerous building, the previous owner was killed by the tenant on the top floor when collecting rent, the body was hidden under the bed, and it took half a month to be found, and the murderer was finally caught by the patrol team and sent to the arena to feed the lions, but what to do with the building became a problem.

Because the landlord who died lived alone, without a wife and children, the dilapidated building was eventually taken over by the patrol and became the patrol's station in the area.

And not only did the patrol members live here, but their families also moved with them into the rent-free apartment.

When Zhang Heng first arrived at the door, he thought that he was in the wrong place, because there were no signs related to patrols, and there were no facilities such as training grounds, and the only small open space was full of clothes to dry, in addition to two large jars of pickles and a half-repaired table.

"Stand there and don't move, I'll shoot you blind if you get any closer!" It was a little boy who spoke, at least in terms of his dress, with shaved short hair, wearing a short sleeve that was slightly large for him, and his face was bruised, presumably from a fight somewhere.

At this moment, he was holding a pair of slingshots in his hand and vigilantly aimed at Zhang Heng, and there was also an old dog beside him.

Zhang Heng raised his hand, signaling that he was not carrying any weapons, and said politely, "May I ask if this is the station of the patrol?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong with you, you've been beaten and your money has been robbed? Or was it both beaten and robbed? Or maybe you're here to report a crime? The little boy continued, but did not let his guard down, "You don't look like you're from here, why are you here?" ”

As a result, before Zhang Heng could speak, a voice came from behind the little boy, "He is a newcomer to the patrol, put away your slingshot, Weiya, girls shouldn't play with this kind of thing all day long." ”

"But I don't take a slingshot, who's going to defend this place when you leave the patrol." Veya disgruntled.

"This is where the patrol is stationed, and no bad guy dares to come over."

"Who said that we lost two clothes last week, and we lost half a bag of wheat last week, and ......"

"There is no solution to the theft," said the man who appeared afterwards, with some helplessness, "Half of Rome's thieves and thieves live here." ”

Although Panonax barely introduced any information about the patrol team to Zhang Heng, the latter had already learned the basic information of the patrol members through an afternoon.

He knew that the man in front of him was Aris, who had a burly figure and bronzed skin, who had fought the Macomani with Aurelius and fought bravely, but unfortunately he was shot in the calf not long after the battle, although he had no worries about his life, but he could no longer stay in the army to accumulate military merits, so he had to return to Rome and join the patrol to maintain law and order in the city.

It is said that his strength is good, but because of his leg injury, it is difficult to fight with people now.

Zhang Heng took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Zhang Heng." ”

"Aris." Aris also shook hands with Zhang Heng.

This time it was Via's turn to interject, and she exclaimed, "Zhang Heng? Are you the Oriental who won the championship at the Flavi Amphitheater?! Wait, you're new to the patrol? She turned to Aris, "Dad, why didn't you tell me that the most legendary gladiator in Rome was joining you?" ”

"Because this matter has nothing to do with children, do I need to report to you on every official business? Don't be like your mother, ask questions all day long. Aris said impatiently.

"But it's a big deal, haven't you been complaining that there are no people in the patrol who can fight, and it makes it difficult for you to enforce the law every time," Viya was full of excitement, "Now that you have the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, I can't beat you." ”

"The situation here is not so simple, and it is not something that can be solved by one person." Aris said, "Your mother is cooking dinner, why don't you go and help her?" Also, go and ask the people who are going to patrol at night to gather downstairs, and we are about to go. ”

"Your excuses for sending me away every time are terrible."

Although she said this, the girl still took the old dog upstairs, but when she left, she deliberately looked at Zhang Heng twice, as if she was looking at the monkeys in the zoo.

"Sorry, my daughter doesn't have any etiquette at all, and of course, there's probably no need for anything like that in this place." Arisdow.

"It's okay, I've been used to being looked at like this since I won the championship." Zhang Heng said, "Fortunately, it won't lose a piece of meat." ”

"That's good, I honestly didn't expect a big man like you to be willing to join a patrol in this area."

"I'm just a gladiator who has just been freed, not a big guy." Zhang Heng shook his head and said.

"But I heard that you are valued by His Majesty the Emperor, haven't you, I heard from the people above that you want to come here to accumulate some political capital, gild or something, but I have to regret to tell you that you may have chosen the wrong place."

"Why do you say that?"

"You heard what I said to my daughter just now, this place is in Rome, but it's completely different from the rest of the city, it's a huge stinking gutter, thieves, robbers, scoundrels...... Almost all the scum you can imagine lives here, and this place is not something that one person can change, not even if you're the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater. ”
