Chapter 824 Working for the Emperor Turns Out to Be so Dangerous

The little slave girl was still angry after Pannonax left.

"Who is this guy? We don't owe him any money. Why do we have to put on such a bad face? Look at that Clind before, how polite he is."

"Um."

"Klind clearly told you that you can choose the area on your own, so why does Pannonax arrange it for you on his own initiative?"

"Um."

"I think he must have evil intentions. He didn't find a good place for you. This guy doesn't seem to be a good person. Don't let him do it. Give..." The little slave girl racked her brains.

"Plot?"

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

"Um."

"Besides um, don't you have anything else to say?" The little slave girl was speechless.

"Then what do you think I should do?" Zhang Heng asked.

"At least go find Clind and tell him the good deeds Pannonax has done. Clind will definitely not let him go."

"uh-huh."

"What do you mean hmm?"

"Do you think Clind doesn't know what Pannonax did?"

"What do you mean?" The little slave girl was a little confused when she heard this, "But wasn't Clint there at the time? He had something urgent and left."

"What you said is quite right. We have no grievances against Pannonax, and we don't owe him any money. Why would he treat me so badly, even at the risk of being beaten? To anger me? Especially considering that I will probably become a popular figure in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the future."

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

"Because Klinde asked him to do it." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Ah?" The little slave girl always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, she finally grasped the key point, "But we have no grudge against Clind, and we don't owe him any money."

"But I might block his way." Zhang Heng said lightly, "The rights that our small group has come from His Majesty the Emperor, and although His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme ruler of the empire, the rights he has It’s not unlimited. In other words, if one more person joins, they will take away part of the rights. Of course, if this is the case, Clinder may not have to be so anxious to target me, but it is probably because His Majesty the Emperor once paid a private visit in person. He came to me and made Klind feel threatened."

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

Now that he has said this, Zhang Heng simply explained it clearly, "If he goes to deal with me personally, it will be easy to win, but if he loses, he will become very passive and have another enemy. This is for a For a mature politician, it is not cost-effective, so he chose to treat me with a smile and let Pannonax be the bad guy who targets me everywhere, so that if things go wrong, he can abandon Pannonax , and I won’t go looking for trouble with him after I win. Instead, I may develop a good impression of him because he has reached out to help me in times of difficulty. The worst thing about this guy is that he just has one more political ally. .”

"Is this... like this?" the little slave girl stammered, "Then Pannonax, is Pannonax willing to be a shield for others?"

"Of course I'm not willing to give in, but if you want to climb up, taking the blame for the boss is a routine operation. If he helps Clinder solve my problem, Clinder will naturally benefit him in the future. This is It's something that you and I agree on, but for a person of his level, if you want to get benefits, you have to take some risks." Zhang Heng said as he picked up the unfinished bread.

"He was deliberately provoking me before. He probably wanted me to do it so that he could stain me. Commodus's first impression of me was good, but after all, I was just a gladiator before, and he didn't know that I was Whether I can take on the big responsibility or not, the first job was actually his assessment of me."

The little slave girl couldn't help but shudder. She never imagined that people's hearts could be so complicated.

The person who smiles at you on the surface may very well want to kill you behind your back, but what makes her even more surprised is that someone is still in the mood to eat his unfinished breakfast at this moment.

"Working for the emperor turns out to be so dangerous, so you'd better stop doing it. At worst, I can work in the laundry room and we can make money." The little slave girl said worriedly, "Or we can leave Rome and find somewhere else. How is life in Syria? When I was at Gladiator School, I met a friend from Syria Province, and she described the scenery there to me."

"In terms of just making money, I can earn more by performing at the Victor Arena." Zhang Heng finished eating the bread and peeled off a fig. "Okay, this is just a small thing. I can handle it. We are in Rome." , not going anywhere.”

"But...but according to what you said, the guy named Klind has already attacked you. Even if he fails this time, he will still cause trouble for you in the future."

"Of course, the area he asked Pannonax to choose for me must not be simple."

"What should we do?" The little slave girl looked sad.

"Let's go take a look first and then talk," Zhang Heng finally finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth.

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

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

But this time Zhang Heng was a little overly worried, because the patrol team in charge of this area wanted to improve the security here more than anyone else, but the problem was that they really didn't have the ability.

Because this is almost the most chaotic place in the whole of Rome. Most of the people living here are Jews. In addition, there are many other minority races. They look a lot different in appearance, but one thing is the same, that It's just poverty, and because of poverty, this is also where crime occurs most frequently.

There are murders almost every night, and there are more than one. Those criss-crossed alleys, which become invisible at night, are perfect places for killings. After committing the murder, the murderer simply finds a place to kill a cat. , couldn’t be found at all. With the patrol team’s small manpower, it would be impossible to investigate this area. In fact, once it was night, the patrol team members did not dare to go out alone.
