Zhang Heng didn't expect Commodus to come to him so soon, it stands to reason that Bino's assessment report was handed in, and it would be two days before it arrived in Commod's hands at the earliest.

Therefore, during this time in the middle, Zhang Heng also gave himself a vacation, and took the little slave girl to wander around in Rome, they went to Perfume Street first, the little slave girl was a little curious, she saw Zhang Heng open the bottle of perfume on the shelf, and then put it back after sniffing.

"Why, don't you like it?" The little slave girl asked with a wink.

"Oh no, I just want to smell them." Zhang Heng said as he picked out the bottle and paid for it, and then threw the bottle of perfume to the little slave girl, "I'll give it to you." ”

"Really?" The little slave girl happily took the perfume and opened it while Zhang Heng was not paying attention and applied it to her hair.

After that, the two walked out of the perfume shop, first to the square Matthius, and then to the portico of Octavia, a place far from the center of the city, with no bazaars and apartment buildings, and instead a large area of greenery, temples, and sculptures, perfect for picnics and leisure.

The vast portico surrounds the verdant atrium, with the temple of King Jupiter and Queen Juno in the center, the frescoes and stucco portraits on the portico tell the ancient myths and legends, and the bronze statue of Alexander the Great in the distance, which is full of tranquility and solemnity for visitors and devotees to walk under the porch or stop in front of the sculpture.

The little slave girl found a piece of grass and sat down, took out the lunch she had carefully prepared, and chatted with Zhang Heng about lunch or not.

The little slave girl hadn't thought about happiness when she was in the Victor Arena before, but at this moment she felt that she had indeed reached out and grabbed happiness.

"Are things going well with the patrol?" The little slave girl asked, taking a bite of bread.

"Well, although there is a little deviation, it is basically in line with my previous plan." Zhang Heng said, "Maybe it should be said that it went more smoothly than planned." ”

"Then you're going to do something for His Majesty the Emperor next?"

"If nothing else, it is." Zhang Heng nodded.

"That's great, you can reveal the true face of Clint to His Majesty the Emperor." The little slave girl was clearly still thinking about Clinder, the two-faced villain.

Zhang Heng smiled dumbly when he heard this, "How can it be so simple, if I tell the emperor to listen to the emperor, will the emperor believe me?" ”

"Because I believe in you." The little slave girl said confidently, "You are much more credible than Clinder, no, I shouldn't compare you together, you are not comparable at all." ”

"That's because you've lived with me for a long time." Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not afraid of a guy like Clinder, and his main target is not me, and we will even have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”

The little slave girl was confused when she heard this, pursed her lips and was about to say something, but the next moment she saw that the main owner she was talking about just now actually appeared in front of her alive, and was walking towards her with the guards, the little slave girl was startled, thinking that Clint had some witchcraft, and heard all the bad things she had just said from a long distance, and now she was going to bring someone to arrest her, so she hurriedly ran behind Zhang Heng.

"Your days are very leisurely, it's really enviable, but I'm afraid you will have to say goodbye to such days from now on." Clint said to Zhang Heng with a smile.

"Huh?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with your performance in the southeast city, let me take you into the palace to meet you, but your people are really hard to find, I went to your residence, I didn't find anyone, and I went to the patrol again, but I heard that you went on an outing, I thought you might be here, it seems that my luck is good, come with me, don't let Your Majesty wait." Clint Road.

Hearing this, Zhang Heng stood up from the grass and said to the little slave girl behind him, "There's no way, let's stop here today, you go home first." ”

"Then you, you have to be careful." The little slave girl looked at Clint with some concern and whispered.

Zhang Heng followed Clinder to the palace in a carriage, but before entering the palace, Clinde stopped the carriage and asked the coachman to park the carriage in a place where no one noticed.

Clinder then cleared his throat and said, "I know you've heard some rumors. ”

"What rumors?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"For example, only unfortunate people who have offended or have no background will be sent to the patrol of the southeastern city, which is like a penal colony in the city of Rome."

"Oh, I'm ......" Zhang Heng had just spoken, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Clinder.

"This is true, although this statement is not accurate, but it is not far off, the problem of the southeast city has been around for a long time, and to be honest, neither I nor His Majesty the Emperor thought that someone could solve the trouble there."

"I didn't either, I just made an agreement with the big forces there to restrain the criminal activities on the surface a little." Zhang Hengdao.

"You are too modest, in short, I wanted to arrange you to the area on the north bank of the Tiber River, because the security there is the best, and you can easily complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, but as you know, we were only halfway through the conversation that day, because I had an urgent matter, so I could only let Pannonax take charge of the affairs of your constituency, but a few days later I was very shocked when I learned that you were assigned to the southeast district."

There was a look of guilt on Clinder's face, "Forgive me, I didn't find you in the first place, because I didn't know how to face you, I mean, Your Majesty put me in charge of this matter out of trust in me, but you were assigned to the Southeast District in the end, I will undoubtedly bear a lot of responsibility for this, but I was not idle in those days after that, and I still did something for you." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, I investigated Pannonax, and guess what?"

"How?"

Clinder lowered his voice and put his mouth to Zhang Heng's ear, "I found out that he is from Ottrus, he hides very deeply, the two of them are only contacted by letters, and they will be burned every time they read it, my people tried their best to get a letter that Panonax didn't have time to send after he finished writing, you can read it yourself." ”

After Clinder finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of papyrus full of words into Zhang Heng's hand, and in addition, he also handed Zhang Heng a letter written by Pannonax, so that the latter could compare the handwriting on it, and then said with concern, "Can I take the liberty of asking, is there any grudge between you and Otrous?" Because I have absolutely no idea why he's targeting you. ”

"I don't have a clue about it." Zhang Heng said, "I heard that Aoterus is a very mysterious person, he has never seen the head of the dragon, I don't even know what he looks like and where he is, how can I make a feud with him." ”

"That's right," Clint nodded, "but be careful in everything, although everyone is doing things for Your Majesty, but it is inevitable that some people will have some other thoughts, you usually have to pay attention to safety, I heard that Oterus's subordinates have a group of people, hiding in the dark, specifically for him to do some unsightly things, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me, I also hope to give you some compensation for the previous things." ”
