Chapter 863 Messenger

Decius had never been to Dongcheng District before, but he was already familiar with this place.

Even the coachman was a little reluctant when he heard that the two of them were going here. Zhang Heng had to pay extra money to let the carriage send him and Dechius here.

Daichius held it in for a while, and after getting off the carriage, he still couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say you want to find out who is the person behind Cobb? Why are you here? As far as I know, everyone living in this place They are criminals, villains and poor people, and they should not be able to make Cobb obey."

"Yes, you are right, but our target is them."

"What, are our targets those criminals and villains?" Decius asked confused.

"No, our target is the one at the back."

"Poor?"

"Yes, I told you before, mines like those will require a lot of manpower. Only slaves cannot meet their labor needs, and sometimes the price of a strong and capable slave is not low. , if you die, you will lose a lot of money, but if you hire poor people, you won’t have such troubles.”

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

"That's right." Zhang Heng nodded.

But soon Decius became frowning again, "But this place is so big and chaotic, how can we find the people working in the Binotta Mine."

"You don't need to worry about this."

As Zhang Heng spoke, he waved and called a kid who was playing with his companions on the street. The kid wanted to run away from the first moment he saw Zhang Heng, but unfortunately he still couldn't. I could only walk over obediently.

Zhang Heng lay down and said 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 will come back." Daichius said as she watched the kid run away.

"Yeah, he won't come back." Zhang Heng nodded in agreement.

"Then what do we do next?"

"You can wander around and have some fun or something. I'm going to visit a friend and see if there are any other places where I can get the copper ore you need. I'm used to being prepared for everything. Then we'll be in Blackwater Bay Let’s meet in the tavern and meet the people working in the mine together,” Zhang Heng said.

"I...I don't think we should split up." Daichius broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. He didn't even have time to ask Zhang Heng how to find people working in the mine at the Blackwater Bay Tavern. He said hurriedly, "You are not a Roman, so you may not know how powerful this place is. Fabino from the Runia family was hired as the assessor of the patrol team. He came here to inspect on the first day he took office. He also brought two guards. As a result, you were robbed in the street, beaten severely, and even lost your engagement ring. You are the gladiatorial champion of Flaviy Amphitheater, so you may not be afraid, but now that we are separated, I am not sure whether you can still survive. See you again."

"Relax, my friend, you came with me. Many people here have seen it. No one will have any ideas about you, I promise." Zhang Heng said.

"How can you guarantee that?" Daichiusi didn't believe Zhang Heng's words at all and grabbed his money bag tightly. He was suspicious of everything he looked at now. He felt that a thug would jump out of the crowd at any time and kick him over. on the ground, and then swarmed him and stripped him naked.

Zhang Heng was helpless. Fortunately, at this time, they happened to encounter a patrol team passing by. Nowadays, the patrol team is usually staffed by two patrol members, leading a group of experts hired with money. Zhang Heng stopped them. He asked the two patrol members to accompany Decius, so that Decius agreed to split up.

But even so, Decius didn't dare to really go anywhere to play next. He asked two patrol members to take him directly to the patrol station. Then, thinking that the time was almost up, he asked the patrol to take him Escorted to Blackwater Bay Tavern.

Decius was trembling with fear throughout the whole process, lowering his head and staring at his shoes, fearing that a wrong look would bring about some kind of fatal disaster for him. When he arrived at the Blackwater Bay Tavern, Decius even saw There were many ruthless characters who were not easy to mess with at first sight, making him feel like a little white rabbit who had strayed into a pack of weasels.

Decius hurriedly ordered a glass of wine, and then found a corner to nest. Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, and Zhang Heng's figure appeared at the door of the tavern.

Daichiusi didn't know if it was her imagination. When Zhang Heng appeared, the Blackwater Bay Tavern seemed to be quiet for a moment. No one made a sound. It wasn't until Zhang Heng made a gesture that the pub became lively again. After getting up, Zhang Heng came to Daichiusi's table and sat down.

"Have you finished your work?"

"Uh-huh." Zhang Heng said.

"How about it? Can we find other sources of ore?" Daichius is obviously also very concerned about this matter. After all, the start of the Binota Mine is still far away, which is related to whether he can complete the work of Commodus as scheduled. Delivered tasks.

"It's not easy. Recently, someone has been secretly purchasing copper ore in the city of Rome. The price of copper ore has soared a lot. That's not all. The main problem is that there seems to be no inventory everywhere."

"That means we can only hope that the Binotta Mine will reopen?" Daikius looked a little frustrated.

"It seems like this." Zhang Heng took the wine he ordered from the waitress, but he didn't look too anxious.

The next moment, two men wearing shabby clothes and reserved looks walked into the tavern and walked towards Zhang Heng and the others. The older one said, "Are you looking for us?"

"Yes, please sit down." Zhang Heng pointed to the seat opposite him, then took out two gold coins from his pocket and gave them to the two of them, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you a few questions, just answer them truthfully. , this is your reward."

"Wait, who are they?" Decius asked with a surprised look on his face.

"We are workers working in the Binotta mine." The elderly miner's eyes flashed with ecstasy after receiving the gold coins. After thanking Zhang Heng, he replied, this is a huge sum of money for him, no, for For most people living in the southeastern city, it was a huge sum of money. He got such a huge sum of money in full view of everyone, and he was immediately worried about whether he could keep it. However, Zhang Heng gave him the money. , which means that no one dares to take the money away from him.

However, Daichius on the other side was really nervous and quickly asked the two of them to put away the shining gold coins. At the same time, he looked around to make sure that no one noticed what was going on here before speaking.

"You are miners at the Binotta Mine? But how is this possible?" Daichiusi turned to look at Zhang Heng, "You only spent one copper coin to find them?"

"Of course not. I didn't spend a single copper coin. That's my token." Zhang Heng said as he took the copper coin he gave to the kid from the old miner's hand. It was a gift from Kang Maode. The copper coin with his image printed on it was given to the little slave girl, but later this version was discarded by him, and the remaining copper coins were melted down and recast, so Zhang Heng used the remaining one as his token. , basically whoever holds this copper coin is equivalent to his messenger.

And in the entire southeastern city, no one now dares to ignore what he said.
