Zhang Heng didn't expect Commod to come to him so soon. Logically speaking, Bino's assessment report was handed over, and it would be as soon as two days later to reach Commod.

Therefore, during this period, Zhang Heng also gave himself a vacation and took the little slave girl to wander around the city of Rome. They went to the Perfume Street first. The little slave girl was a little curious. She saw Zhang Heng open the perfume bottles on the shelves, and then put them back after sniffing it.

"Why, don't you like it?" the little slave asked with his eyes blinking.

"Oh, no, I just want to smell them." Zhang Heng said, picking the bottle and paying for it, and then throwing the bottle of perfume to the little slave, "I'll give it to you."

"Really?" The little slave took the perfume happily, and took advantage of Zhang Heng's inattention and put some on his hair.

Afterwards, the two walked out of the perfume shop, took a walk around the Plaza de Matius, and then headed to the Octavia Porch. This area is far from the city center, with no markets or apartment buildings, and is replaced by large green fields, temples, and sculptures, which are very suitable for wild travel and leisure.

The vast porch is surrounded by the lush atrium, and in the center is the temple of the king of god Jupiter and the queen of god Juno. The wet murals and plaster portraits on the porch are telling the ancient myths and legends. There are bronze statues of Alexander the Great in the distance. Tourists and believers either shuttle under the porch or stop in front of the sculpture, full of tranquility and solemnity.

The little slave found a piece of grass and sat down, took out the lunch he had carefully prepared, and had lunch with Zhang Heng and chatted with each other.

When she was in the Victor Arena, the little slave girl never thought about what happiness was, but at this moment she felt that she had indeed reached out to capture happiness.

"Is the patrol still going well?" the little slave asked, biting the bread.

"Well, although there was a little deviation, it basically conformed to my previous plan." Zhang Heng said, "Maybe it should be said that it is smoother than the planned one."

"Then are you going to do things for His Majesty the Emperor next?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is the case." Zhang Heng nodded.

"That's great. You can reveal Clinder's true face to His Majesty the Emperor." The little slave obviously was still thinking about Clinder, a two-faced villain.

Zhang Heng laughed silently when he heard this, "It's not that simple. Do I believe me if I tell the emperor to listen to it?"

"Because I believe in you." The little slave girl said with confidence. "You are much more trustworthy than Clinder. No, I shouldn't compare you together. You have no comparison at all."

"That's because you and I have lived for a long time." Zhang Heng shook his head, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm not afraid of guys like Clinder, and his main goal is not me. We even have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

The little girl slave was confused and pouted and was about to say something, but the next moment she saw the master who was just talking about appeared in front of her, and was walking towards her with the guards. The little girl slave was startled and thought Clinder had some witchcraft. He heard all the bad things he had just said from a distance, and now he was about to bring someone to catch her, so she hurried behind Zhang Heng.

"Your days are very leisurely, it's really enviable, but I'm afraid you will say goodbye to such days from now on." Clinder said to Zhang Heng with a smile.

"Um?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with your performance in the southeastern city. He asked me to take you to the palace to meet you, but it is really hard to find your people. I went to your residence and didn't find anyone. I went to the patrol team again. As a result, I heard that you were on an outing. I thought you might be here. It seems that I have good luck. Let me go with me quickly and don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry." Clinder said.

Zhang Heng stood up from the grass and said to the little female slave behind him, "There is nothing to do, let's get here today, you can go home first."

"Then you, you have to be careful." The little slave looked at Clinder with some concern and whispered.

Zhang Heng followed Clinder in a carriage and headed straight for the palace, but before entering the palace, Clinder stopped the carriage and asked the coachman to park the carriage in a place where no one paid attention to it.

Then Clinder cleared his throat and said, "I know you've heard some rumors."

"What rumors?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"For example, only those who offend someone or those who have no background will be sent to the patrol team in the southeastern city, which is like a land of exile in the city of Rome."

"Oh, I..." Zhang Heng had just spoken, but was interrupted by Clinder before he could say anything.

"This is true. Although this statement is not accurate, it is not far from the same. The problems in the southeast urban area have been around for a long time. To be honest, neither I nor His Majesty the Emperor expected anyone to solve the trouble there."

"I didn't, either, I just reached an agreement with the major forces there, and slightly restrained the criminal activities on the surface." Zhang Heng said.

"You are too modest. In short, I wanted to arrange you to the area on the north bank of the Tiber River before, because the security there is the best, and you can easily complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, but as you know, we only talked halfway through that day because I encountered some urgent matters, so I could only let Pannox take charge of your constituency. As a few days later, I was very shocked when I learned that you were assigned to the Southeast."

A look of guilt appeared on Clinder's face, "Forgive me, I didn't find you as soon as possible, because I don't know how to face you. What I mean is that Your Majesty asked me to take responsibility for this matter out of trust in me, but you were finally assigned to the Southeast District. I undoubtedly have to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter, but I was not idle in those days after that, and I still did something for you."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, I investigated Pannox, guess what?"

"how?"

Clinder lowered his voice and put his mouth to Zhang Heng's ear, "I found that he is Otrus's man, he hid it very deeply. The two of them only contacted by letters, and they would burn it every time they read it. My people tried their best to get a letter that Pannox had not had time to send out after writing. You can read it yourself."

After Clinder said that, he stuffed a piece of papyrus with words into Zhang Heng's hand. In addition, he also handed Zhang Heng a letter from Pannox to let the latter compare the handwriting on it. Then he said with concern, "Can I take the liberty to ask, do you have any grudges between you and Otrus? Because I have no idea why he is targeting you."

"I have no clue about this," said Zhang Heng. "I heard that Autrus is a very mysterious person. He has always been seeing the dragon and has no head. I don't even know where he looks. How could he make enemies with him?"

"That's right," Clinder nodded, "but it's best to be careful in everything. Although everyone is doing things for His Majesty, some people will inevitably have some other thoughts. You should also pay attention to safety. I heard that Otrus's subordinates have a partner who hides in the darkness and does something shameful for him. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me. I also hope to give you some compensation for the previous things."
