The streets of the southeastern suburbs look as bad as ever.
The muddy and dirty road, mixed with urine and human and animal feces, stinks to the sky, and children in ragged clothes run around barefoot in it, while their fathers don’t know what worse environment they are working in. Their mothers would stand on the side of the street to see if they could receive any business after finishing their housework.
Fabino took out the handkerchief he had prepared and covered his nose and mouth to avoid being smoked over. The imperial decree prohibiting the dumping of excrement was obviously not implemented here.
Fabino remembered that about five or six years ago, a serious plague just broke out here, killing about one-third of the lives. Fabino originally thought that there would be fewer people here. At that time, some The place did look a little lifeless, but I didn't expect that with the influx of new immigrants and the birth of a group of newborns, it would become more lively than before.
Fabino also had to admit that in terms of vitality, this ghost place is quite tenacious.
But when he cast his eyes on the street in the distance, his mood turned sour.
Because it was the place where he was robbed and beaten when he came to the southeast city for the first time. Because Fabino was the only son in his family, he had been held in his hands before. He had never heard a serious sentence since he was a child, let alone being He was pressed to the ground and beaten, and he seemed to have eaten a few mouthfuls of mud in his panic. It took Fabino a full half a year to convince himself not to be obsessed with what ingredients were in that mouthful of mud.
However, every time he revisited his old place, some shadows still appeared in his heart uncontrollably.
But fortunately, when he felt uncomfortable, he could regain his lost sense of security by turning around and looking at the guards behind him.
However, when he turned his head the next moment, the sense of security that he had just found before he had time to warm up was thrown out of the sky again.
"What's the situation?!" Fabino's expression changed drastically. "Has the law and order in the southeast city deteriorated to this extent? Roadblocking and robbery have been upgraded to the army. As for it, just to rob me?"
A group of people dressed in armor and armed to the teeth with weapons in their hands appeared from the other side of the street, steadily approaching Fabino's side.
And following Fabino's words, the guards around him also became nervous, and they all drew out their weapons, looking like they were facing a big enemy. They are naturally not mediocre to become the guards of the Fabino family. Well, many people have military experience, but it is because of this that they can better see how difficult the opposite group is.
The opponent is not only excellent in weapons and equipment, but also has an unusual temperament. Obviously, they are all people who have seen blood. Although the number is similar to them, it is still uncertain whether they will win or lose.
The captain of the guard was very responsible, lowered his voice and said to the two patrol guards, "You two take the adults away first, and we will help you drag the rest."
So Fabino, who was in a daze, was caught between two guards and was about to flee for his life. Fabino even started to make a draft in his heart. He didn't want to go home anymore, and planned to run directly to the Senate Go to file a complaint, saying that the big and small forces in the southeast city are ready to rebel.
Afterwards, one of the bad guys came out and said respectfully, "Master Fabino, where are you going?"
"A... Aris?" Fabino was stunned when he heard the words, and finally recognized the person.
The main reason was that the sunlight shining on the armor was so dazzling that he couldn't see the faces of the group opposite him at all, and Fabino didn't think about the patrol team at all, he was so familiar with Aris' group. All of them looked more bitter and bitter than him, important people, no money, no money, and lack of armor, they looked like a group of beggars, and they were nothing to do with the elite team in front of them. It doesn't matter.
But I didn't expect that after two months of absence, the man who was helpless about the situation in the southeast city and could only sigh for a long time had returned to his former demeanor in the army, and what surprised Fabino even more was that the rest of the patrol team also A great change has taken place, and I can no longer see the timid look before, but all of them are full of confidence, which actually gave Fabino a feeling that they seem to be very reliable.
Fabino shook his head, and quickly drove this absurd idea out of his head, no, no, no, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion.
It's not that he looks down on Aris and his group, but because he, as an assessor, is very aware of the difficulties Aris and the others are facing. In Fabino's eyes, Aris cannot be blamed for this matter. Who would face such a situation? There is nothing to do about the bad situation. The southeast city has been in chaos for a long time, and several emperors have done nothing. It is not realistic to point at Aris and his group to save the world.
But sympathy is sympathy, and Fabino still gave the patrol team a score according to the actual situation. As for the allocation of funds and manpower to the patrol team, it was not his responsibility, and he could not control it.
That's why Fabino is very strange now. He didn't plan to run away after he recognized the person, but he couldn't help asking, "What the hell are you doing? Where did you steal this armor? Why don't you hurry back and return it? It’s not how you deal with the inspection, it’s not that I don’t know your situation.”
"Master Fabino misunderstood, this is our own armor." Zhang Heng also walked out of the crowd at this time.
"Oh, you are the gladiator who came to the patrol team to help, I have seen your performance, you are really good." Fabino did not hesitate to praise Zhang Heng, "Especially when you are dealing with that hair When you were a crazy bison, you were able to win the final victory with only one rope, which is more powerful than all the gladiators I have ever seen, but did you offend someone, or why was the first job assigned here?"
"No, I asked to come here on my own initiative, because I learned about the situation in the southwestern city area from Klinde and wanted to do something for this place." Zhang Heng said.
"Do you want to do something for this place, do you want to burn it all down with a fire?" Fabinozchi said, "This will purify the sins of this place."
"No, I want to bring order back to the neighborhood."
"Hahaha, I still want to build a pyramid for myself," Fabino laughed halfway, closing the corners of his mouth, "Wait, are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Zhang Heng took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Fabino.
The latter's face darkened, and he waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm different from other people in the Senate, didn't Aris tell you, I don't like this, it's the first time you do it, I won't hold you accountable, but if you dare to bribe again next time, I will definitely have someone arrest you."
"No, you misunderstood, this is not a bribe, I just give you back what belongs to you." Zhang Heng said,
"Huh?" Fabino raised his eyebrows, took the wooden box suspiciously, and couldn't help being stunned after opening it, because he actually saw in the wooden box the engagement ring he had lost six years ago, and some miscellaneous little things. All the gadgets were lost in that robbery that was called the shadow of his life.
"In addition, we also caught the gangsters who robbed you back then, but unfortunately three of them have died, but the first criminal is still there, and they are locked in the prison where the patrol team is stationed." Zhang Heng added, " Would you like to see it?"
