Chapter 163: The Resentment Society
Zhang Bai agreed with Hetri's idea, if there were people in the palace, there was no need to risk sending people into the palace, and they could also understand the situation in the palace. This was a great thing, but he suddenly felt strange about the bracelet.
In this Three Kingdoms era, the one who bought the clock must be the rich, and he was afraid that the rich would not love copper things, so he deliberately found a few gold necklaces, processed them into watch chains, and installed them on copper pocket watches.
Because he made it himself, he was very impressed, and now the eunuchs actually asked themselves for the watch chain?
"Hetri, didn't I have a gold bracelet for my pocket watch before? Why do I want it now, are those eunuchs insatiable?"
"It doesn't seem to be exactly, it's not wrong that those eunuchs are greedy for money, but I have checked those pocket watches, and there is indeed no gold watch chain, and the number of pocket watches is not right, the total number of pocket watches sold to the Sega family from the store is a table clock, five pocket watches, each pocket watch has a gold bracelet, but there is only one table clock and three pocket watches in the palace, two are missing, and all the pocket watches have no bracelets. β
"According to what you mean, could it be that the Sega family got interested in getting rich and embezzled watch chains? Brother, this family is the number one wealthy family in the local area, and it is reasonable to be greedy for a few gold watch chains?"
"Thisβ" Hetri also felt strange, but he didn't know how to answer, and said after a while, "Otherwise, could it be the great butler of the Sega tribe, who coveted these chains?"
"It's unlikely, the butler knows that this pocket watch is dedicated to the palace, he shouldn't have the courage to covet the royal tribute. Zhang Bai thought about it and said, "The matter of the watch chain must be strange." β
......
In the morning, before the Roman infirmary opened, Yu Ji was asked by Titus to help take care of the patient, Yu Ji knew Titus's character, he spoke like a cannon and was easy to offend people, and he didn't mind, just like Titus said, the patient is the most important.
The patient's injuries themselves were not a big deal, just sword wounds and fractures, and bleeding profusely. In this case, since the condition has been stabilized, there is no life-threatening situation.
What he really cared about was why he had these injuries.
Sword wounds everywhere, the injuries are very serious, but none of them are critical, relying on these sword wounds alone, it can only make people bleed to death, murder will not be done like this, but it is like an attempted torture.
And, judging by the appearance of the wound, the wide wound left a few traces of patina, apparently caused by the Roman short sword. How could a well-trained Roman soldier not be able to kill a single person with four swords?
There is also the case of fractures, such fractures are very similar to the injuries of a martial arts fight, but this patient does not have the aura of a cultivator at all, and looking at this injury, it can only be explained by street fighting.
The above problems are not a big problem individually, but when they are linked, it is a little weird.
That is to say, there was such a person, who had no cultivation and was not good at martial arts, but he singled out Roman soldiers with weapons to fight, and the Roman soldiers stabbed him several times, but they couldn't stab him to death, so they broke his ribs and arms.
This story is so ridiculous that the front and back don't match the tenon.
According to Titus, the person who sent him called himself the Roman Emperor, and if it was the emperor's guards, such an elite army, facing an ordinary person, would probably kill him with one sword, and the possibility of not dying even with four swords did not exist.
The strangest thing is that His Majesty has so generously admitted his identity, which is a hasty practice in a country other than Rome.
Yu Ji thought about it for a long time, but didn't figure it out, so he transmitted the sound and informed Zhang Bai of what happened here. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bai replied: "That's right! Everything makes sense." β
"There are a few things that can be completely sure of the authenticity. Zhang Bai gave Yu Ji an analysis: "First of all, the people who sent people to treat their injuries can definitely be the Romans, which Titus can prove. Secondly, the person who leads, whether he is a real Roman emperor or not, he must be an immortal cultivator, and in this regard, you and Dao Lao may testify. β
"These two things are already very telling, plus two real situations that may be related. The first is that there is a Roman envoy who is haunting Peshawar, and the second is that there was once a young elder in the Eastern Prince's Palace, Lu Weisa, who is a member of the Roman royal family. When these things come together, there is a possible outcome.
It is very likely that Lu Weisa was in Peshawar as a Roman emissary. β
"We don't care whether this conclusion is likely or small, and there are only two ways to confirm the results, one is to look for clues and continue reasoning, and the other is to see with our own eyes. β
Yu Ji was a little nervous when he heard this, and asked, "Do you want to meet him directly?"
"That's true, then, I'll send someone to watch outside the infirmary, and if the man who claims to be the Roman emperor comes back, you can take a white cloth, like a bed sheet or something, and dry it in front of the window, and when my people see it, they'll follow them and find out where they are, and we'll think about how to deal with them then." β
"Well, that's good!" Yu Ji felt that this plan was very safe, and immediately agreed.
Here Zhang Bai immediately left the Suraj mansion and rushed to the beggar's den at the gate of the city, he told Father Sotel about the monitoring of the medical hall, and asked him to find a few clever and trustworthy people to be on duty day and night, and specially suggested that it was most suitable for Zabad to be the leader, because he was the son of his father, and he could absolutely trust it.
At the same time, he also suggested that Gu Fei should lead a few more people to monitor the Sega family's mansion, and be sure to understand the situation of each entrance and exit clearly, and keep an eye on it to see who is entering and exiting the gate.
Sotel did as he did.
After all the arrangements were completed, he once again transmitted Yu Ji: "The medical hall is likely to have been targeted, Uncle Dao and Dao Labor must be careful, please tell Titus, someone will definitely find him to see a doctor in the next two days, just go at that time, but don't take Uncle Shi and Dao Lao with you, it is safe to go alone." Don't use the voice of transmission, let him pay attention to only treating the sick and saving people, and don't leak out of his words and deeds. The most important thing is not to be greedy for merit and rashly go to find out the news. β
"We've been targeted, we've been discovered so quickly?" Yu Ji said in surprise.
"In my guess, the other party should only be suspicious, Uncle Shi must not mess with himself, just need to do everything as usual, but Daolao has the aura of a monk, and it is weaker than Shilong to be easily discovered, so it is better to show up less. It also needs to have a public identity, such as a buddy, a doctor or something, and it is no longer possible to appear as a seriously ill patient, for fear that someone will interrogate you. β
"Even if he is a doctor, he will say that he is my apprentice, anyway, he has learned a lot of medical skills recently. Yu Jidao.
"So much the best!"
