After Pannonax left, the little slave girl was still angry.

"What kind of person is this, we don't owe him money, why do you have such a stinky face, look at the previous Clinder, how polite people are."

"Hmm."

"Clint clearly told you that you can choose your own area, why did this Pannonax arrange it for you on his own initiative?"

"Hmm."

"I think he must have bad intentions, he didn't find you a good place, this guy doesn't look like a good person, don't let him give it, give it to ......" The little slave girl racked her brains.

"Plotted?"

"Yes, he must be plotting against you, I heard that these people in the palace are not simple, they think a lot, and they also like to plot against others." The little slave girl felt that she was playing at a super level this time, and she actually saw through Pannonax's trick at a glance, and she couldn't help but have a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was alone, and felt that at least at this moment, she was standing on the top of the truth.

"Hmm."

"Don't you have anything else to say but um?" The little slave girl was a little speechless.

"And what do you think I'm supposed to do?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.

"At least go find Clint and tell him about the good things Pannonax has done, and Clinder will definitely not let him go."

"Uh-huh."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think Clinder would be unaware of what Pannonax had done?"

"What do you mean?" The little slave girl was a little dazed when she heard this, "But wasn't Clint not present at the time, he was in a hurry to leave." ”

"You're right when you say that we have nothing to do with Pannonacus and we don't owe him any money, so why should he treat me so badly that he even risked a possible beating? Especially considering that I will most likely become a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the future. ”

"yes, why?" The little slave girl was puzzled.

"Because Clinder told him to do it." Zhang Heng smiled.

"Huh?" The little slave girl always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, she finally grasped the key point, "But we don't have any grudges against Clinder, and we don't owe him money." ”

"But there's a chance I'm in his way." Zhang Heng said lightly, "Our small group, the rights we have come from His Majesty the Emperor, and although His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme ruler of the empire, the rights he has are not unlimited, in other words, one more person joins, and he will take away some of the rights, of course, but in this case, Clinder may not need to be so anxious to target me, but probably because His Majesty the Emperor once paid a private visit and came to me in person, which made Clint feel threatened." ”

The little slave girl opened her mouth wide and felt like she was listening to a story from another world.

Since he said this, Zhang Heng simply explained it directly, "If he goes down to deal with me in person, of course it's easy to say if he wins, but if he loses, he will become very passive, and he will have one more enemy, which is not cost-effective for a mature politician, so he chooses to smile at me and let Pannonax be the bad guy who targets me everywhere, so that once the situation is not right, he can abandon Pannonax, and I won't go to him for trouble after I win, On the contrary, it is possible that he has a crush on him because he once reached out to help me in difficult times, so that the worst guy is just one more political ally of his. ”

"That's it...... Is it like this? The little slave girl stammered, "What about Pannonax, is Pannonax willing to be a shield?" ”

"Of course I am not reconciled, but if I want to climb up, it is a routine operation to take the blame for the boss, if he helps Clinder solve my trouble, Clinder will naturally give him benefits in his future in the future, this is something you are willing to do, for people of his level, if you want to get benefits, you always have to take some risks." Zhang Heng said as he picked up the bread that he hadn't eaten before.

"He was deliberately provoking me before, probably wishing I could do it, so that I could create a stain on me, Commodus's first impression of me was good, but I was only a gladiator before, and he didn't know if I could afford to take on a big job, and his first job was actually his investigation of me."

The little slave girl couldn't help but shudder, she couldn't imagine that people's hearts could be so complicated.

The person who is smiling at you on the surface is likely to want to kill you behind the scenes, but what she can't imagine is that someone is still in the mood to eat the breakfast he didn't finish before.

"It's so dangerous to work for the emperor, then you better stop doing it, it's a big deal that I'll go to work in the laundry, and we can also make money." The little slave girl was worried, "Or if we leave the city of Rome and find a different place to live, what about Syria?" I knew a friend from the gladiator school who was from Syria and she described it to me. ”

"Just to make money, I earn more from performing in the Victor Arena." Zhang Heng finished eating the bread and peeled off another fig, "Anla, this is just a small matter, I can handle it, we are in Rome, not going anywhere." ”

"But...... But according to what you said, that guy named Clinder has already done something to you, and even if he doesn't succeed this time, he will still get you in trouble. ”

"Of course, it must not be easy for him to ask Pannonax to choose the area for me."

"What then?" The little slave girl had a sad face.

"Let's go and see it first," Zhang Heng finally finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth.

He didn't wait until it was dark to report on the patrol.

The main reason is that Zhang Heng is not familiar enough with the city of Rome, and he needs to do some homework in advance, so as to effectively prevent the patrol from being controlled by Clinder and providing him with wrong information.

However, Zhang Heng was a little worried this time, because the patrol team in charge of this area wanted to do a good job of law and order here more than anyone else, but the problem was that they really didn't have this ability.

Because it was probably the most chaotic part of Rome, inhabited mostly by Jews, and there were many other minorities who looked very different in appearance, but one thing was the same, and that was poverty, and because of poverty, it was also the place where crime was most frequent.

There are murders almost every night, and there is more than one, those criss-crossing alleys, at night, they become out of sight, it is an excellent place to kill, and the murderer after the murder, directly find a place for a cat, can not be found at all, with the patrol team's manpower, it is simply impossible to find out this place, in fact, once it is night, the patrol members do not dare to go out alone.
