Chapter 895

"I found the old Peregrino's Domus and solved his six guards. By the way, I didn't spend much effort in the whole process. I also visited his residence by the way. Unexpectedly, I found that Peregrino, who had been busy collecting money, lived a simple life. There were not many slaves in his family, and there was nothing of special value West. Considering that he makes a lot of money every year, I once suspected that Peregrino yuan is always a miser.

"But when I kicked open his door and put my dagger on his neck, the elder Peregrino just knelt down in front of me and begged for mercy, but didn't mention using money to buy his own life," Zhang Heng said. "This made me feel a little strange, because according to my previous experience, no matter how stingy people are about to lose their heads I'm willing to spend some money, unless... "

"Unless all the money he's made over the years is out of his hands." Lucilla raised her eyebrows. "He's making money for others."

"That's right, and what's more interesting is that when I asked him who he gave the money to, elder Peregrino gave me the name of our Centurion friend, which suddenly reminded me of another thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Rome has always been the territory of the blade of balance. It's not easy for hounds to let their assassins in. In addition, my teacher also told me that assassins who seem to be alone also need external support, including but not limited to contact persons, efficient information channels, especially the latter. They are big money burners. There is a place called beehive in the southeast city The organization is very mysterious, and their influence is not limited to the southeast city. It seems that there are also their people in the Senate. It can be seen that they spent a lot of money to collect intelligence.

"But unlike the other two forces, the beehive does not have any income, or to be more precise, it does not have any apparent income, which means that the owner behind the beehive needs to keep burning money. As far as I know, the owner behind the beehive is the hound. Their spokesman is a guy called the microphone, who used the doctrine of balance blade to test It's only here that I began to really doubt your husband.

"Then I began to investigate your husband. Since he was young and prosperous," Zhang Heng looked at Pompeii Yanus, "you came from a famous family, but actually by the time of your father, the family had declined. In order to revitalize the family, you entered the army and began to follow Aurelius. At first, you were just a humble centurion, but then you started to fight As he stands out and continues to make contributions, Aurelius appreciates you more and more and regards you as his confidant.

"However, the situation before you and me is a bit similar. Although Aurelius values you very much, you are not the only young general he is optimistic about. In fact, you still have a lot of competitors, among which there are many people who are better than you. But in the next two years, those young generals who are better than you died one after another for various reasons, and finally you became the leader The most dazzling existence of the generation, and Aurelius is more and more dependent on you.

"Although there are still many people in the army who are older than you and higher than you, they are all very old. They are basically old people in the Andoni era and will not pose a threat to you. There is only one person who is really in trouble."

"Luchius," Lucilla thought of something, her face suddenly changed. She had been standing in front of her dressing table, but she stepped back two steps to distance herself from Pompeii Yanus.

"Yes, Lucius, brother of Aurelius, CO emperor of Rome." Zhang Heng said, "at that time, the first man in the military had made great achievements in the war, and it was in his prime of life. He should have controlled the army for a long time, and he was the emperor of Rome, just like Aurelius. One day, you could only be inferior to him, so luchius died. On the way back to Rome from the front line, that unfortunate guy was very sad He didn't even make it to Rome with the plague

"You bastard killed my first husband?" Lucilla looked at Pompeii Yanus. At this moment, she even forgot her fear and roared, "I could have continued to be queen in the palace. After my father's death, Lucius will become the only emperor of Rome, and our child will be the next ruler of the Roman Empire, not my stupid brother."

Pompeii Yanus laughed and said nothing. Then he looked at Zhang Heng and finally said, "enough. You don't know me at all. You said before that you don't understand why I sent assassins to assassinate you. The reason is actually very simple, because of jealousy."

"What?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Oh, of course, I'm not jealous that you've been favored by Commodus from a common man to a noble man I don't care about this kind of thing at all. What I mean by jealousy is the instinctive reaction of being a man and a husband. "

"You mistook me for your wife's lover?" Zhang Heng suddenly realized, "let's not say whether I am your wife's lover or not. As far as I know, your wife has had many lovers before. You should not take this kind of thing in mind..."

"Do you know where they are now?" Pompeii Yanus leisurely said, "in order to get her, I can even kill the Roman emperor Lucius, not to mention those toys that she is tired of throwing away.""But if you really care about it, why don't you stop her in the first place?"

"Oh, you look down on her. Lucilla has never been controlled by anyone, even her father has not been able to control her. Otherwise, if it's just the pleasure of cheating, why does she want to make the whole city know that she is using this method to declare war on her father, who used her as a political chip to trample on her father She is like a flame, burning wantonly. She doesn't care if it will be ignited there, and that's why I can't help falling in love with her. "

Pompeii Yanus laughed, "in my capacity, if you want to find a gentle and obedient woman, it's a simple thing, whether it's a wife or a lover, but they don't have her charm, her wild and greedy, beautiful and relaxed, natural cruelty and ruthlessness. All of these interweave together to form her. There is no perfect woman in the world I fell in love with her from the first sight. I can't change her, and I don't want to change her. "
