"If Divobraye is not willing to help you, why do you think I will help you?" Andea said coldly.

"Because as you know, I've been in the patrol team in the southeast city for a while since I got free from the arena, and I've been exposed to a lot of cases, and based on my experience, after this kind of damage to public facilities happens once, it's likely that it will happen a second time." Zhang Heng said meaningfully, "And next time, I'm afraid it won't be a good one or two days." ”

When the city magistrate heard this, his heart suddenly felt cold, and he knew that it was Zhang Heng who was threatening him.

Just as he wouldn't admit that the matter of the Binotta mine had anything to do with him anyway, Zhang Heng obviously couldn't admit that the sabotage of the sewer pipe had something to do with him, so he just reminded the city magistrate from the side.

But the city magistrate heard the hidden meaning behind Zhang Heng's words, if the matter of the Binotta mine could not be solved, then he, the city magistrate, should not want to be in peace, and this was the critical moment for him to prepare for the promotion of financial officer, even if he had political allies behind him to help, if his political performance was ugly at this time, he would lose the support of the people.

And once he loses the support of the people, no matter how strong his political support is, he will not be able to risk the condemnation of the world to force him to the position of financial officer.

Andrea knew she was being pinched in her underbelly.

At this time, he has two ways, one is to carry it to the end, although Zhang Heng can not complete the errand, but the price is likely to be to lose his political career, and now it is not one or two people who oppose Commodus, but a political force gang, although everyone is secretly fighting against His Majesty the Emperor, but everyone's purpose is actually different.

Some people hope to overthrow the young emperor and gain more power, while others just want to show his muscles to Commodus, but in the end, he advocates taking a step back and using both soft and hard measures, as long as he can keep his existing power, and there are also some people who want to muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters......

As for Andrea, Andera chose this camp in order to get close to some of the core figures in this camp and get more benefits, but at the same time he will also weigh the risks and costs, for now, it is obvious that if he continues to carry it hard, his personal interests will be greatly damaged, so it will be meaningless for him to insist.

Therefore, Andrea had no choice but to choose another path, and after a period of silence, he spoke, "You don't have to worry about the mine, I heard that the collapse is not serious, and there will be a ...... or two No, you can get back to work today. ”

"Good." Zhang Heng then nodded and said, "I also know some people in the patrol, and I will ask them to help keep an eye on the sewer pipe, if someone dares to do sabotage, we will definitely help you catch someone." ”

"Then you're going to have to work hard." Andeya almost gritted her teeth and said this word of thanks.

And Zhang Heng didn't seem to hear the grinding sound of the municipal official's teeth, and said with a smile, "I'm glad that we finally reached a consensus so that the matter can be resolved satisfactorily, then I won't bother you anymore, and then I will go and tell Dai Chius the good news of returning to work tonight, and ask him to gather the craftsmen in advance." ”

Zhang Heng got up from his seat after speaking, "After all, we have delayed a lot of time before, and we have to hurry up if we want to deliver the work on time." ”

Andeya struggled for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand before Zhang Heng left, "I have seen your heroic posture in the arena, but I didn't expect your political ability to be so good, if someone underestimates you in the future, I believe he will regret it." ”

Zhang Heng also changed his previous aggressive posture and shook hands with Andrea, "I am also amazed by your emphasis on public affairs, and I believe that you will also become a financial officer smoothly in the future." ”

…………

It took Zhang Heng only three days to restart the construction of the bronze statue, which had been suspended for a long time, and finally completed all the work before the deadline.

Fifty-two freshly baked bronze statues of Commodus, standing in an open space on the outskirts of Rome, gilded by the rising sun, were inspected by the young emperor, accompanied by his wife, to confirm that they looked as imposing as he was.

In this way, when these bronze statues were transported to the provinces, especially those in remote places, the people of the empire living there could also admire the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.

"You've done a great job, once again, perfectly completed the task I gave you, and you'll never let me down, will you?" Commodus then patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and looked at his wife on the side, "What kind of reward do you think I should give him?" ”

"I've just done my part, Your Majesty." Zhang Heng bowed slightly.

"And rewarding those who do things well is also my duty as an emperor." Commodus responded wittily.

Queen Christina thought for a moment and said, "I heard Lucyla say that you are still performing in the Victor Arena, so you shouldn't be short of money, because you are a gladiator and don't use slaves much in your family, but you shouldn't have a wife yet......"

Commodity's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and the mandarin duck spectrum was the traditional art of all emperors.

Zhang Heng was also taken aback, and hurriedly hurried before Commodore spoke, "...... I actually have lovers. ”

"Oh, yes, whose girl is it?" Queen Christina was piqued with curiosity.

"It's one of my female viewers, civilians, and we've been dating privately for a while." In order to prevent Commodus and his wife from pulling red lines for themselves, Zhang Heng had to casually make up a relationship.

Christina wanted to ask further, but noticing the impatience on her husband's face, she finally put down her gossip and returned to the elegance of a queen.

Commodus continued, "I heard that you now live by the Tiber River, which has a nice view, but it is too far from the palace, and I sometimes need my advisor to be by my side as soon as possible, and you are renting, and if you want to really integrate into the city, you still need to have a house of your own, in that case, I will give you a Domus." ”

"It's too precious, Your Majesty." Zhang Hengdao.

"No, this is what you deserve, you handled the affairs of the southeast city well before, the consultant is your position, but it is not a reward, and the house is not strictly speaking, just to give you a place to stay, and I will pick a fief for you when I go back," Commodus said with great interest, "but the land near the city of Rome has been divided, and there is still a lot of land in the local provinces, but it is too remote, you have to find someone to take care of it for you, and I will pick and choose it for you when I go back." ”

Zhang Heng also had to admit that although later historians were accustomed to portraying Commodus as a useless and useless emperor, betrayed his relatives, had a bad habit, and his death was extremely humiliating, but for now, the young emperor standing in front of him was at least really good to his own people.

I was already thinking about finding a fief for him, you must know that having a fief means that Zhang Heng has completely separated from the commoner and become a nobleman in terms of identity, and considering that he has only been out of slave status for more than four months, this speed is like riding a rocket.
