Chapter 865 Do You Mind if We Go in and Sit Down?

When Decius stood outside the door of his lobbyist friend, he always felt something strange, and he didn't know how things came to this point.

Obviously he just took a good job that didn't require much effort. As long as he lay still, he would be appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. But now he and Zhang Heng were searching the city for someone with a red birthmark. But as Zhang Heng said, At this point, he could only try to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, if Commodus got angry, he would not only lose his job, but it might also affect His Majesty the Emperor's trust in his family.

However, unlike his nervousness, Zhang Heng beside him looked very relaxed from beginning to end, and was even in a mood to look at the tenants coming and going in the corridor.

Daichiusi was a little unclear about what was going on with Zhang Heng. Didn't he, as a consultant, take any responsibility for not delivering the bronze statue as scheduled? He was still prepared and planned to blame everything on him. If that was the case, it would be too miserable for him.

Decius knocked on the door of the lobbyist friend's house with a feeling of anxiety.

The latter was still taking a nap at the moment, and was awakened by the knock on the door. He climbed out of bed, spent some time groping for his clothes, and stepped on the floor until it creaked. Then he hurriedly opened the door and stuck his head out.

"It's you. Aren't you busy casting bronze statues? Why did you come to me when you had time?" Daikius's lobbyist friend was a little surprised when he saw the person outside the door.

"We are in some trouble and need your help." Daichiusi glanced at Zhang Heng as he spoke. He didn't know how appropriate it was to say this, and Zhang Heng didn't say anything, so in the end Daichiusi just said , "We're looking for someone with a red birthmark on his face."

"A person with a red birthmark on his face?" Decius' lobbyist friend shrugged, "Uh... I've never heard of such a person. Is there anything else?"

"Ah?" Decius was stunned when he heard this, "No...there is nothing else."

"Then I hope you find the person you are looking for as soon as possible." Decius' lobbyist friend said as he closed the door.

But the next moment a hand blocked the door he was about to close.

"Do you mind if we go in and sit down?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Honestly, I don't mind. It's very messy inside." Daikius' lobbyist friend said, rubbing his somewhat disheveled hair.

"It doesn't matter, we're not here to talk to you about love anyway." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he walked in.

Decius's lobbyist friend tried to stop him, but his small frame was quickly pushed aside.

"Ah, who are you? I don't know you at all! Why did you break into my apartment?" Decius's lobbyist friend screamed excitedly.

Zhang Heng ignored him and looked around the small apartment. As its owner said, it was indeed quite messy. Wine bottles and dirty clothes were scattered everywhere, and there were two drunken women on the bed. In addition, this is a room on the second floor with a balcony, and the rent is high. Zhang Heng's apartment by the Tiber River is also similar.

"Well, this is Zhang Heng, the gladiatorial champion of Flavius ​​Amphitheater, and now he is still the advisor to His Majesty the Emperor." Decius tried his best to smooth things over, "This is my friend, Klaus, he is the elder The elders in the court serve as lobbyists.”

"Gladiator? No wonder you like to rely on brute force to do things. It's different for me. I rely on my head and mouth to eat." Klaus snorted and sneered.

"If your head is really smart enough, you should be more polite, otherwise if I get upset, I will probably throw you out of here." Zhang Heng said leisurely.

Klaus's face changed slightly when he heard this. He did not dare to look at Zhang Heng, but turned his eyes to his friend, Daikius, and said angrily, "What's going on? You Can you explain it to me?!"

"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding," Daichiusi quickly explained, "We are tracking a person with a red birthmark on his face. Advisor Zhang Heng thinks he should be working for someone with high authority in the Senate. I know you know many people in the Senate, so I came to see you."

"You really make trouble for your friends." Klaus pulled the sheet over and covered the two women on the bed. "I made it very clear when you were outside the door. I didn't know there was such a person. people."

"Well, think about it carefully, this matter is very important to us." Decius said with a smile.

Zhang Heng, who was on the other side, also spoke at this time, "I heard from Dechius that when a bill is submitted to the Senate, you will thread the needle and persuade those who originally agree or disagree to change their views. position."

"Uh-huh, what's wrong?" Klaus still had a bad attitude towards Zhang Heng, but because he was worried that the other party would really throw him downstairs, he didn't dare to say any more provocative words.

"I believe this must be filled with a lot of shady deals. How about I send two guards to follow you all the time?"

"How could you do this?!" Klaus said angrily.

"Because I am an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor. It is my job to investigate corruption in the Senate and make the empire develop better."

"You want to investigate corruption in the Senate. Even if you are an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor, I don't believe you dare to offend so many nobles." Klaus sneered.

"Who said I would offend so many nobles? I just wanted to find a suitable reason to send people to keep an eye on you." Zhang Heng said lightly, "I don't care how corrupt the Senate is, nor do I care about your colleagues. What do you do every day?"

Klaus was shocked and angry this time. He finally knew what Zhang Heng was planning to do. Guys like them who work privately on behalf of their employers to reach agreements with others, keeping a low profile is their way of survival. If there are two guards behind them , then he can't accomplish anything, and the competition in this industry is also fierce, and he will be replaced by other lobbyists within a month or two.

"If I were you, I would answer his questions honestly." Zhang Heng pointed at Daichiusi.

Klaus's face changed several times, and then he walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it to relieve his mood, and then asked, "What are you looking for him for?"

But this time, before Zhang Heng could say anything, Klaus himself continued, "Forget it, don't tell me, I don't want to know either."

"As expected of the ace lobbyist of the Senate, a wise choice." Zhang Heng praised.

Klaus quickly wrote an address on the papyrus and handed it to Decius, "The person you are looking for is a lobbyist like me. Forgive me for not telling you where he lives before. Fuck us." In this industry, the most taboo thing is to meddle in other people's business, and it is better to do less than to do more."

"I can understand." Decius accepted the note and apologized, "I can't help it this time. I'll treat you to a drink when the matter is over."

"No, as long as you forget that you still have me as a friend, thank God." Klaus said solemnly.
