Dekius had never been to Dongcheng before, but he had already heard about this place.

Even the coachman was a little reluctant when he heard that the destination of the two was here, and Zhang Heng had to add extra money to let the carriage send him and Daikius over.

And Daichius held back all the way, and after getting out of the carriage, he couldn't help but speak, "Didn't you say that you want to find out who the people behind Cobb are, why did they come here, as far as I know, there are criminals, villains and poor people living in this place, and they should not be able to make Cobb obedient." ”

"Yes, you're right, but that's what we're targeting."

"What, are we targeting those criminals and villains?" Dekius wondered.

"No, we're targeting the latter one."

"Poor?"

"Yes, as I told you before, mines like those require a lot of manpower, and slaves alone can't meet their labor needs, and sometimes a slave who is physically fit and able to work is not cheap, and if he dies, he will lose a lot of money, and if you hire the poor, you will not have to worry about it."

Dekius finally reacted this time, and suddenly realized, "You want to find the poor people who worked in the mines before. ”

"That's right." Zhang Heng nodded.

But soon Daichius became sad again, "But this place is so big and so chaotic, how can we find the people who work in the Binotta mines?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

Zhang Heng waved his hand as he spoke, and called a little ghost who was playing with his companions on the street, and the little ghost wanted to slip away from the first moment he saw Zhang Heng, but unfortunately he couldn't slip away, and he could only obediently come over when he saw this.

Zhang Heng whispered a few words in his ear, and then placed a copper coin in his palm.

As a result, the latter grabbed the copper coin and ran away.

"Uh...... I don't think he'll ever come back. Dakius said as he watched the imp run away.

"yes, he's not coming back." Zhang Heng agreed.

"So what do we do next?"

"You can wander around the neighborhood and have some fun or something, I'll visit a friend and see if there's any other place where you can get the copper mine you need, I'm used to having both hands ready for everything, and then we'll meet at the Blackwater Bay Tavern and meet the people who work in the mines." Zhang Hengdao.

"I ...... I don't think we should split up. Hearing this, Dai Chius was shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't even have time to ask Zhang Heng how he found someone working in the mine at the Blackwater Bay Tavern in the future, but hurriedly said, "You are not a Roman, you may not know the power of this place, Fabino of the Runa family was hired as an assessor of the patrol, and he came here to inspect on the first day of his appointment, and he also brought two guards, but he was robbed in the street, not to mention, he was beaten badly, and his engagement ring was lost, you are the gladiatorial champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, you may not be afraid, But we're apart, and I'm not sure you'll ever see me again. ”

"Take it easy, my friend, you're coming with me, a lot of people here have seen it, and no one will beat your idea, I promise." Zhang Hengdao.

"How can you guarantee it?" Dai Jius didn't believe Zhang Heng's words at all, and grabbed his money bag, he was suspicious no matter what he looked at now, and felt that a mob would come out of the crowd at any time, kick him to the ground, and then rush up to pick him up.

Zhang Heng was helpless, fortunately, at this time they happened to meet a patrol team passing by, and now the staffing of the patrol team is usually two patrol members, leading a group of good people hired with money, Zhang Heng stopped the two patrol members and asked the two to accompany Dai Chius, so that Dai Chius agreed to act separately.

But even so, Dachius didn't dare to really run where to play, he asked the two patrol members to take him directly to the patrol's station, and then calculated that the time was almost up, and asked the patrol to escort him to the Blackwater Bay Tavern.

Daikius trembled the whole time, lowered his head, stared at his shoes, for fear that if he didn't look right, he would bring some kind of murder to himself, and when he arrived at the Blackwater Bay Tavern, Daikius saw a lot of ruthless characters who were not easy to mess with at first glance, making him feel like a little white rabbit who had strayed into a weasel pack.

Daichius hurriedly ordered a glass of wine, and then found a corner to nest in, but fortunately, he didn't wait too long after that, and Zhang Heng's figure appeared at the door of the tavern.

Daikius didn't know if it was his own delusion, when Zhang Heng appeared, the Blackwater Bay Tavern seemed to be quiet for a moment, and no one made a sound, until Zhang Heng made a gesture, and the tavern became lively again, and then Zhang Heng came to Daikius's table and sat down.

"You're done?"

"Uh-huh." Zhang Hengdao.

"Well, can we find other sources of ore?" Dekius was clearly concerned about this as well, as the start of construction at the Binota mine was still far away, and it was at stake that he could complete the task assigned by Commodus on time.

"It's not easy, someone has been secretly buying copper ore in the city of Rome recently, and the price of copper ore has soared a lot, and this is secondary, the main problem is that there seems to be no stock in various places."

"So we can only hope that the Binota mine is back in action?" Dekius looked a little frustrated.

"It seems so." Zhang Heng took the wine he ordered from the waitress, but his expression was not in a hurry.

And the next moment, two men in shabby clothes with a restrained look walked into the tavern and walked towards Zhang Heng and them, and the older one said, "Are you looking for us?" ”

"Yes, please be seated." Zhang Heng pointed to the opposite position, then took out two gold coins from his arms and flicked them to the two of them, "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask you a few questions and answer them truthfully, this is your reward." ”

"Wait, who are they?" Daichius asked, surprised.

"We are workers working at the Binotta mine." The older miner's eyes flashed with ecstasy when he received the gold coin, and after thanking Zhang Heng, he replied, this is a huge amount of money for him, no, it is a huge amount of money for most people living in the southeast city, he got such a large sum of money in front of everyone, and he was immediately worried about whether he could keep it, but this money was given to him by Zhang Heng, which means that no one dares to snatch this money from his hands.

However, Daikius, on the other side, was really nervous, and quickly asked the two of them to put away the bright gold coins, and at the same time looked left and right to make sure that no one noticed what was going on here before speaking.

"You're miners at the Binota Mine? But how is this possible? Dai Jius turned his head to look at Zhang Heng, "You only spent a copper coin to find them?" ”

"Of course not, I didn't spend a copper coin, that's my token." Zhang Heng said as he took the copper coin he had given to the little ghost from the old miner's hand, which was the copper coin with his head printed on the little slave girl given by Commodus before, but then this version was abandoned by him, and the remaining copper coins were melted down and recast, so Zhang Heng used the only remaining one as his token, basically whoever holds this copper coin is equivalent to his messenger.

And in the entire southeast urban area, no one dares to ignore what he said now.
