Chapter 240: The Gift of Ortellus
Zhang Heng was still investigating the true identity of Aoterus, but he didn't expect to receive a gift from Aotrus first.
This gift was given to him by Ortrus when they first met.
But nothing happened for a period of time after that, Zhang Heng thought that Aoterus had forgotten about the gift, after all, Aotrus also said that Zhang Heng was likely to forget about the aftermath after drinking the glass of wine containing scopole.
So theoretically, even if he didn't fulfill his promise, no one would know.
However, people of the level of Otrus obviously don't like to break their promises, even if the object of his promise may not even remember it, Zhang Heng got a card at noon two weeks later, the card was not signed, just a clueless sentence "Your gift has been delivered, I hope you like it".
And in the afternoon, a shocking news suddenly broke out from the Senate, saying that the senator Diwobraye was suspected of accepting bribes, and the amount was not small, and the crime of accepting bribes was a very serious crime in Rome, depending on the amount of money, it was even possible to betray the death penalty and exile, although generally this crime appeared on the lower officials.
The real nobles basically have a way to wash themselves after receiving the money, not to mention a big man like Diwo Braye, he will not come forward to accept bribes in person at all, even if something happens, he can only track down the people below, otherwise the Jews will help Lockyd They don't have to worry about Di Voulaye becoming more and more greedy, it's a big deal to stab this matter to the Senate, and the two sides will be dead.
In fact, Lockyd had nothing to do about the vampire on the Jewish gang, otherwise he would not need to make an agreement with Zhang Heng, and was willing to let the patrol team and soap and others get development space in exchange for Zhang Heng to help him solve this trouble.
But this time, Zhang Heng learned from the news he received that the situation of Diwo Braye was very unoptimistic, the evidence that was exposed was very detailed, and there were many witnesses, and the most terrible thing was that the time when these embezzlements occurred was basically when Di Voulaye was a financial officer.
The largest amount of money was also related to the construction of a new park in the city of Rome.
The park was built by the previous emperor Aurelius in memory of his deceased wife, and the royal family was responsible for most of the funding, in addition to many donations from the nobility, of which Duvobraye secretly swallowed a third of the money as far as is known. And he used this money, which is equivalent to offending the royal family and many nobles who contributed later, and the situation is very serious.
However, the one who can enter the Senate is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is attacking Diwobraye, because the evidence taken out by the other party is too complete and perfect, and it is obviously premeditated, but even so, everyone in the Senate has to admit that the other party's hand is indeed very powerful.
Because even if it is forged, being able to falsify the evidence to this extent also shows that the energy possessed by the other party is very strong, generally at this time, the elders of the Senate will choose to stand behind Diwobraye, after all, the other party can use this trick to deal with Diwobraye today, and he can also use this trick to deal with them tomorrow, which person who can enter the Senate this year will be completely clean behind him, not to mention that Diwobraye usually hardly offends people, and his popularity in the Senate has always been very good.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that there were very few people who came out to support Diwobraye in the first place this time.
On the one hand, the incident happened suddenly, and everyone didn't get any news before, the evidence and accusations were suddenly taken out by a young senator who usually had no sense of existence in the Senate, and everyone didn't figure out which force was behind him for the time being, especially those nobles who had donated money in the park, and they wouldn't be in a good mood when they learned that their money had fallen into Diwobraye's pocket, and they immediately stood up to support him without reason.
On the other hand, it was because Divobraye sided with the young emperor in the Binotta mine incident, which also caused dissatisfaction on the other side, and the image of neutrality he had always created was weakened, and it was only because there was no solid evidence that no one came to trouble him during this time.
On the contrary, some elders close to the royal family stood up at this time and said a few words for Diwobraye, but in this way, it seems to be more solidified Diwobraye's position of falling to the royal family.
However, Divo Buraye has no choice now, with his previous connections in the Senate, no matter who intends to make waves, he can always get a little wind in advance, but this time the huge wave is coming at him, but before this he knew nothing, completely kept in the dark, which is a very terrifying thing in itself.
…………
Zhang Heng may be one of the few people in Rome who knows who did it to Divobrae at the first time, and he also knows very well that this is not only Ortrus showing favor to him, but also Ortrus's warning to him.
Ortrus played this hand beautifully, and while completing the gift agreement, he also showed his muscles with the help of this incident.
In just two weeks, Ortrus was able to unearth so much black material from Diwobraye, making an influential senator in the Senate so embarrassed, his planning and execution skills are top-notch, worthy of being the chief adviser of Commodus, Clinder has always taken Oterus as a competitor, but in Zhang Heng's view, the gap between the two sides is probably bigger than imagined, and it is not a level at all, although the outside world calls the two Commodus's right-hand men, but in fact, the influence of the two on Commodus is completely different.
When Zhang Heng thought of this, his expression suddenly moved, and he realized what he had left behind before.
This is actually an obvious thing, but because Zhang Heng himself has a certain understanding of the history of Rome, he ruled it out at the first time.
There is only one possibility for someone who comes from an aristocratic background and does not arouse Commodus's suspicions, but is willing to trust unconditionally.
- That's Commodus' relatives.
The relatives here are not distant cousins like Clinder, who have a thin blood connection to Commodus, but rather brothers like Lucyla, who are the same as Commodus. At the same time, unlike Lucyla, because of his physical disability, Commodus's own brother can never replace Commodus on stage, but can only live in the dark and assist Commodus.
Only when all of the above conditions are met will Commodus trust Otrous so much.
Zhang Heng quickly thought of a person, Commodus's twin brother.
