Dachius waited until his wife was asleep before he got up from the bed, got dressed again, and then looked at his lover on the bed, as if he had made up his mind, and walked out of the room lightly.

He walked through the dark antechamber, trying not to wake up the slaves sleeping there, and waited until Domus walked out of his house to breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked left and right to make sure that he was not being watched, and then Democius went south along the street, and he did not go too far, because the area near it was basically inhabited by the upper Roman nobility.

This area is also almost the most expensive area in the whole of Rome, and you can't buy a house here if you have money, you have to have status, and the family of Dechius also moved here after the rise, and their Domus belongs to the smaller kind.

In contrast, the place where Daichius now went was much more luxurious, which showed that its owner was quite famous even in the Senate, so Daichius tidied up his clothes before visiting the house.

But before he could knock on the door of Domus, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

"From a friend's point of view, I really wouldn't recommend that you do that."

Dekius was taken aback, especially when he realized whose voice it was, and he almost lost his mind.

"You, when did you come here?"

"I've been here for a while," Zhang Heng said, "I have to say, the environment here is very good, I like the small fountain outside your house, it's very cute." ”

"But why didn't I see you?" Despite his efforts to be as calm as possible, his heart was pounding.

"Because I don't want to scare you, although in the end it looks like I did." Zhang Heng said with some regret, "It's so late, why don't you sleep at home, why did you run out?" ”

"Uh, I'm kind of ...... Can't sleep, you know, a lot of things happened today, that guy named Amidio is still dead in front of our eyes, I ......"

"Haven't you seen an executioner in the arena before?" Zhang Heng said curiously.

"Yes, but it's not like this," said Daquius, "and if Amidio dies, we may be in danger." ”

"Hah, so you went out for a walk with all your heart, and accidentally scattered outside the residence of the mayor Andrea." Zhang Heng said, "This explanation sounds very reasonable. ”

Hearing this, Daikius was silent, and then he raised his head and asked Zhang Hengdao, "Then why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to prevent you from doing something stupid, and by the way, I've solved the matter of the bronze statue."

"How to fix it?" Dekius was surprised, "Do you know who's behind this?" ”

Zhang Heng didn't answer Dai Kius's question, but stretched out a hand and said, "Give me back the things first." ”

"What's that?" Daikius's heart tightened, but he still didn't let go.

"The necklace you stole from Amidio's room tonight."

"I didn't steal anything...... Wait," Daichius seemed to think of something, her eyes widening, "where did you put the necklace?" ”

"Yes, so can you understand why I stopped you from asking you to go to see Andrea, if you take this necklace to negotiate with Andrea, I'm worried that you really follow in the footsteps of Amidio," Zhang Heng blinked and said, "That necklace is not any evidence left by Amidio, it's just, uh...... Someone else gave me a gift, and I threw it into the crack of the bed board. ”

The main reason is that Zhang Heng didn't have a good choice at that time, and if he didn't throw the necklace that Lucy gave him, he could only throw his own props.

"You're planning to frame me?" Dekius looked incredulous, "But when did you suspect me?" ”

"I didn't design to frame you, because there are three possibilities, the first is that you didn't fulfill your duty as Watson, and you were careless and didn't find the necklace, which of course didn't happen, and second, you found the necklace and then notified me, I really want you to do it, because I'm going to compliment you for it, and third, it's the current situation, you took the necklace without telling me, and I need to stop you from doing stupid things in time."

Zhang Heng said, "As for when you said I suspected you, to be honest, I did believe you very much at the beginning, your family became a nobleman with the support of the previous emperor Aurelius, and has always been a die-hard supporter of the royal family, which means that in the bronze statue incident, you should have stood with us, but when I got to know you further, I found your family environment quite interesting."

"Your mother is a slave and ...... I'm sorry I said that, it's not a very good-looking kind, so your birth was actually an accident, your father got married to your mother after drinking, and your mother was kicked out of the house by the mistress after giving birth to you, you can imagine that your childhood was not very happy, in fact, until now, your position in this family is more like a parasitic fence, fortunately you have a wife who loves you very much and is understanding, but unfortunately your brother is a bastard, he will harass your wife when you are no longer there, soI can't help but wonder how much you belong to your family. ”

"Did you do your research before you came to see me?" Dakius looked serious.

"No, I came straight to you when I came out of the palace." Zhang Hengdao.

"But we haven't been together all the time since then, when are you ......," said Daichius, who was stunned for a moment and came to his senses, "In the southeast block, you said you would go to a friend to see if you could solve the ore problem, and we were separated for a while at that time. ”

"Yes, yes, you're much smarter than you seem. I know a guy who is said to be ubiquitous, specializing in all kinds of news, and not just in the southeastern city, so I asked him for information about you. "Zhang Hengdao,

"And this solves one of my biggest doubts, if the bronze statue is not delivered on time, your family will undoubtedly suffer, especially a new nobleman like your father who relied on Aurelius to become a senator, once he loses the emperor's favor, the family may soon decline, but I guess, this is not bad news for you, you and your family's interests are not aligned."

Zhang Heng paused, "Of course, this doesn't mean that you will necessarily stand on a different side from your family in the matter of copper mines, strictly speaking, I really began to suspect that you were when we went to meet your friend Klaus." ”
