Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Feng Yu saw some local people around, so he deliberately said in Latin: "We traveled all the way, passing through some Roman towns, and also saw some small-scale gladiatorial performances and competitions. But in my impression, the audience seems to be full .And I have also heard that the people in Rome are very keen on gladiatorial competitions. But why is the whole arena less than [-]% full now?"

Sure enough, before Simmons, who knew Latin, answered with a translator, a local man responded loudly:

"Foreigner, you may be coming to Rome for the first time, of course you don't understand! Today is Tuesday, and there will be no important gladiatorial matches during this time period, so naturally the attendance rate is not high. Come back on the weekend, let alone find it The seat is too big, I’m afraid you won’t be able to squeeze in. Besides, even if the seats are 3%, there are still [-] people watching, right?”

Feng Yu smiled, ignored him, and waited patiently with the crowd for the start of the gladiatorial competition.

With the sound of Roman trombones, the killing stage in the middle of the arena finally kicked off.The first beast show started.

More than a dozen beast fighters with strong physique but without armor protection came to the center of the field with shields, big swords, and javelins, and then released a few wild boars from the other side.Without any accident, these beast fighters beheaded several wild boars to the ground, and then they killed a bear and an African lion.

Feng Yu and others have seen these performances before, and they are quite bored.Dian Qing grumbled: "I thought the gladiatorial performances in this Roman capital would be more exciting than ordinary towns, but I didn't expect it to be similar. We have also seen such boring performances in some larger Roman cities."

Simmons also responded: "That's right, with weapons, shields and even javelins, and a dozen people, what kind of a hero is he to kill unarmed beasts. It's really boring."

Not only them, some of the rest of the audience in the stands couldn't bear their temper and started booing.First there were one or two people, and then more and more people joined in, and finally it was all together.Some people in the rows behind Feng Yu also urged: "Hurry up and serve the main course, serve the main course, get off the beast fighter! Come on, the gladiator!"

With the sound of percussion instruments, those beast fighters withdrew to the outside of the arena, and at the same time a group of slaves ran into the arena, dragging the corpses of those beasts out with all their might.

Then, a host of the arena with a bald head and a purple red robe ran out.Standing on the high platform above the gate of the arena, he reported to the audience the details of the two sides of the next gladiatorial match: "In the next series of matches, the African lion Putney, who has a record of 99 consecutive victories, will Enter. He will once again turn today's gladiatorial arena into an altar leading to his path to freedom and glory. The first match is..."

Hosting an impassioned and eloquent introduction to Hu, the real wrestling finally began.

Time flies, and there have been five games in a row.The first three games were many-to-many with different numbers, the fourth was one-on-one, and the fifth was one-to-three.The gladiator named Putney participated in these five games from beginning to end.

Feng Yu found that this gladiator named Putney, who was as strong as a bull and handsome, was the focus of everyone's attention.Whenever he kills or crash-lands an opponent, the audience erupts into thunderous cheers.Especially in the third game, the emotions of the audience reached their peak.When Putney pulled out the dagger from the corpse of the last opponent, the audience seemed to be boiling...

Chapter 999

Even everyone like Feng Yu is a seasoned veteran.The skill of the gladiator Putney still amazed them.

Dian Qing praised: "This person's first few victories are nothing in the eyes of a certain person, but the last one against three is an eye-opener. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, no matter how big the personal gap between the two sides is, It is also very difficult to fight against three people alone. It is not the same as two people against six people, or three people against nine people. What's more, the other three people are also professional gladiators, and their skills are better than ordinary people. But he can understand each other so easily in a short period of time... Strong, really strong. In my opinion, among the brave and good generals in our Liang Kingdom, there will not be more than ten who can reach this level at the peak of their physical strength. "

Feng Yu smiled and said: "It's a pity that such a person can only do meaningless fights in the arena, just for the entertainment of the bystanders." After hearing what he said, everyone silently nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the bald, purple-robed host had arrived on the high platform, and at the same time he brought another person beside him.While announcing the victory of the African lion Putney, he grabbed the hand of the person beside him and raised it up, saying: "This is the glory of Putney, and it is also the pride of his master Congratulations to Mallor, commander of the Apennines fleet." !” The audience burst into cheers again.

Feng Yu yelled in Latin among the crowd: "It turns out that gladiators also have owners. I always thought they were raised in the arena."

The talkative locals beside him responded immediately: "Foreigners, this is short of knowledge, isn't it? If the gladiators are raised in the arena, how much will it cost? You must know that the arena has no income at all, and the daily expenses are all spent on it. The money allocated by the financial officer to pay. This is secondary, and more importantly, if the gladiators are all raised by the arena, then who can guarantee that each match is not a pre-arranged fake match. Especially that A game in which no one dies in the end, and one side surrenders and gives up as the result?"

When everyone was reminiscing about these words, Simmons next to him suddenly said: "No, the name of the commander of the Apennine Fleet that I seem to have heard is not the name."

The person who made the mistake before said: "Hey, the fleet commander has been dismissed long ago. Since the coalition forces of His Majesty Alexander's Legion and the Liang Army killed Macrinus in Byzantium and put down the rebellion, they returned to Rome. That one was fired. This one is new."

Feng Yu moved in his heart and said: "Oh? But with such a huge fleet armed in his hands, he can surrender power so obediently."

The man sneered and said: "If you don't pay it, you have to pay it. The Apennines fleet suffered huge losses in the Black Sea Battle. How can it have any strength to compete with His Majesty Alexander. This is not the key point. The key point is that many people recognized Macrinus back then. The position of emperor, now that His Majesty Alexander has returned to the city of Rome, although they once again stand on His Majesty’s side anyway, but they have to find a stepping stone for their previous behavior, scapegoat! Otherwise, they will not be able to justify it. So this strength has been greatly damaged, and it will be made public The Apennine fleet that supported Macrinus with practical actions naturally became the target of public criticism."

Feng Yu finally said: "So that's the case, thank you little brother for explaining."

The game in the arena ended immediately, and the group returned to the hotel named Cedar.As soon as he entered the door, the hotel owner greeted him and said, "Oh, why did the distinguished guest just come back? There is a messenger from the consul's office here, saying that he needs to find the distinguished guest. He has been waiting here for a long time."

Feng Yu stepped into the lobby, and sure enough, he saw a man dressed as a Roman official leaning on a bench with a backrest.When he saw Feng Yu and the others, he immediately stood up and asked, "Are you the guests from Liang Guo?"

Simmons on the side replied on behalf of Feng Yu: "Exactly."

"Then which one of you is Feng Hu?"

Feng Yu immediately replied, "This is Feng Hu, my humble servant."

The official sent an invitation card to Feng Yu respectfully and said: "This is an invitation card from His Majesty Alexander. Please be sure to arrive at His Majesty's official residence before ten o'clock tomorrow morning to attend the banquet."

Afterwards, Feng Yu asked the official about the matters that should be paid attention to in detail when attending the banquet, and then sent him away.

Feng Yu said to everyone: "Tomorrow I will go to Alexander's mansion to attend a banquet, and I can only take two people with me. Which of you is willing to go with me?"

When he said this, most people scrambled to go with Feng Yu. After all, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to visit the place where the Roman emperor lived and see what the Roman palace was like.

In the end, Feng Yu selected Dian Qing and another personal guard, but left Simmons and the only translator behind.Feng Yu's consideration is that there are too many people at the banquet, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.On such a sensitive occasion, one must not say wrong words or miss words, otherwise it will cause unimaginable consequences and a bad situation.In this way, it is most suitable for those who do not speak Latin.

Early the next morning, Feng Yu, Dian Qing and the others asked the owner of the Cedar Hotel to hire a carriage after having breakfast.Seeing that there was another business coming, the boss introduced the five-horse carriage in the hotel to Feng Yu with a smile on his face.Just when Feng Yu was about to choose the best and most expensive one, there was a sound of horseshoes in the courtyard outside the door, and a resplendent and magnificent two-wheeled carriage drove into the courtyard.

Feng Yu thought for a moment that Alexander must have sent someone to pick him up.Sure enough, the groom who was driving had already shouted: "Is this the Cedar Hotel? I am from the official residence of His Majesty Alexander, and the manager of the official residence sent me to pick up a man named Feng Hu."

Feng Yu responded, and then led Dianqing and the two of them out. The lost hotel owner had to shake his head and leave with a sigh.When Feng Yu walked out of the gate, the girl named Bonnie was struggling to carry a bucket of water and walked into the house. Seeing Feng Yu hesitated to speak, she hurriedly avoided Feng Yu's sight.

Feng Yu was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to her, he boarded the carriage one step at a time, Dian Qing and another guard also boarded the carriage.After the groom yelled a few times, the pack horse pulled the cart and turned around to go out, heading all the way towards the palace.

When Feng Yu arrived at the gate of the palace, someone was already waiting to lead him to the palace.Only then did Feng Yu realize that all kinds of luxury cars had been parked in a long row.From time to time, men and women wearing all kinds of gorgeous costumes bypassed the fountain at the entrance of the palace, climbed up the marble stairs, and walked towards the palace.It's just that none of them have the same treatment as Feng Yu - arrange someone to greet and lead the way.

When he arrived at a hall with a front garden, Feng Yu found that there were three huge dining tables in the hall and the garden outside, a total of six huge dining tables.He looked at the chairs next to each dining table, and knew that each table could accommodate 41 people.That is to say, there are at most 240 people participating in this banquet mainly to welcome yourself.

Chapter 1000 Absurd Appointment

The official residence of the Roman consul, that is, in the Roman palace.Feng Yu was led by Alexander's servants to sit on the long table in the middle of the hall, and sat on the right side of the head seat. Obviously, Feng Yu was regarded as the most important guest today.

Feng Yu's two followers, including Dian Qing, were arranged to sit on a long table in the garden.Of course, they were not regarded as Feng Yu's servants, otherwise they would not be eligible to sit at the banquet.

Feng Yu sat alone in his seat, and saw the continuous stream of guests sitting in their seats led by the servants.After a while, more than half of the people sat at Feng Yu's table.These people were all sitting upright, although curious eyes kept sweeping towards Feng Yu, but no one spoke to Feng Yu.Although it can be seen from their eyes and body movements that they are all acquaintances, they also don't say a word to each other.

Feng Yu knew that this was Roman etiquette. Before the host of the banquet announced the official start, even acquaintances would not whisper to each other. Strangers should only communicate with each other after the host introduced each other.

At this time, a fat body squeezed over, and sat down on Feng Yu's right—except for the main seat, which was the only seat adjacent to Feng Yu.Feng Yu turned his head and saw that it was Gaius, the chief senator of the Senate whom he met only the day before yesterday.Gaius obviously knew that Feng Yu would be sitting here, and he smiled naturally on his greasy face, and nodded to Feng Yu.Feng Yu just wanted to say hello, but he thought of the local customs and etiquette, so he also nodded to Gaius as a return gift.

Then, Tribune Quintus also came. He sat diagonally opposite Feng Yu, and there were two empty seats on his right, directly opposite Feng Yu.

Feng Yu thought to himself that these two positions should also be extremely important figures in Rome.A burly middle-aged man with a blue-shaven chin without a beard was led by a servant to sit in this seat.Feng Yu couldn't open his mouth to ask questions, so he could only think wildly about who this person was, and calculated his ranking, whether it was the censor of the Roman Empire or the treasurer.The other seat must be another "official".

Soon, the six long dining tables were full, except for the main seat reserved for Alexander on Feng Yu's table, the seat on the opposite side was still vacant.Feng Yu thought to himself, why is this person who doesn't know whether he is a financial officer or a supervisor so arrogant?The banquet hosted by the Roman emperor was about to begin, but no one was seen yet.I'm afraid there was an accident on the road?

At this time, a man wearing a gorgeous servant uniform came out and sang: "The emperor of the Roman Empire, the first citizen, the protector of the Roman people, and the successor of the Roman sages, His Majesty Alexander has arrived!"

It was only at this time that there was a burst of noise in the originally quiet venue. This sound was the noise made by people moving their chairs when they stood up.Feng Yu naturally stood up with the crowd, and then Alexander stepped out from the back hall.Feng Yu also went to the countryside and imitated others and raised his arms to salute Alexander.

At this time, Feng Yu found out that Alexander was accompanied by a beautiful and glamorous woman in her mid-mature.After Alexander and the woman had entered the table, everyone sat down together.The woman was sitting directly opposite Feng Yu.

Feng Yu quickly turned his mind to guess what the relationship between this woman and Alexander was.couple?Impossible, the age gap is too big, Alexander is only in his twenties.The reverse is also possible, but there are so many women and men, it is almost impossible to change ordinary people in this era, let alone the Roman emperor.Mother and child?This is somewhat possible, but in this way, the age gap between the woman and the man is a little smaller.They could only be siblings, but I didn't hear that Alexander had a sister, and I never heard of the host bringing his sister to this kind of banquet.

When Feng Yu was wondering, Alexander had already opened his mouth and said: "Today I invited you all to a banquet, not for anything else, just to welcome this guest who came all the way from the Eastern Liang Kingdom. The hero who forced the Celts back to the north bank of the Danube. Of course, everyone must have known that he is now a citizen of our great Rome. So this banquet is also to celebrate and congratulate him..."

While delivering the opening speech, Alexander motioned Feng Yu to stand up like him.When Feng Yu stood up, applause broke out in the hall and garden.After the opening remark was finished, I introduced to Feng Yu one by one some important people near Feng Yu at the same table.Of course, these people included Gaius, the head of the Senate, Quintus, the tribune, and Proseus, the censor, the young man with a clean shaved chin.Of course, there are financial officers, officials and others.

Finally, Alexander introduced the woman sitting directly opposite to Feng Yu.Only then did Feng Yu know that this woman was really Alexander's mother Amias.She is also the only daughter of former Emperor Severus.

After Alexander finished these cutscenes, the banquet gradually became lively, and people began to chat with each other in low voices, Alexander clapped his hands, and the manager in gold and silver shouted loudly again: "Serve! "The male and female servants brought up plates of exquisite dishes, meals, and altars of grape wine one after another.

The banquet began, and people toasted each other frequently.This is not much different from the oriental banquet customs.As Feng Yu was the host and guest, it was natural that people would toast him.Alexander alone toasted him three times.Although Feng Yu didn't need everyone to return his respects, he still had to raise his glass frequently to some important people.Although the wine was far less powerful than the spirits Feng Yu drank every day, he also started to get a little drunk.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and people changed from whispering to talking loudly.At this time, Alexander stood up again with the strength of wine and said: "As a new citizen and a new hero of the Romans, His Excellency Feng Hu must have a position. Therefore, taking this opportunity today, I announce a new appointment---the appointment of Feng Hu. Tiger is my chief guard."

As soon as he said this, the lively scene suddenly became quiet.The expressions on some people's faces have obviously changed.According to Roman rules, the head of the guard will also serve as the head of the Guards Legion, and this position was held before Macrinus assassinated Caracalla and usurped the throne of the emperor.Now Feng Yu, as an unknown person who just came to Rome, was appointed to such a key position, controlling thousands of soldiers and horses of the Guards.Everyone knows it's inappropriate and absurd.

Several important people around Feng Yu stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, hoping that someone would come forward to oppose the appointment.However, the scene remained calm for a while...

Chapter 1001 Palace Controversy

In the hall of Alexander's mansion, the tribune Quintus gave the chief elder Gaius a wink.What he meant was that Gaius began to oppose Alexander's decision.If the important appointment of the consul feels inappropriate, the chief elder has the right to submit it to the Senate for discussion.So Gaius took the lead in opposing Alexander's appointment of Feng Yu.

Unexpectedly, Gaius was fiddling with the knife and fork at this time, buried his head in eating and drinking, and pretended not to see it.Seeing that others had no intention of speaking, Quintus wanted to persuade Alexander himself.Unexpectedly, at this time, someone spoke first: "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked up and found that the person who spoke was Alexander's mother Amias.Alexander nodded slightly to Amias and said, "Does mother have any objections?"

Amias smiled and said, "Where. I don't have any status in Rome's political circles, so I can't dictate what I want. I just think that he is your bodyguard from the perspective of this guest from the far east. There are a lot of inconveniences. First of all, he is new to Rome, and he is not familiar with the place of life in Rome. He may not even speak Latin fluently. How can it be convenient to dispatch the soldiers of the Guards Legion in the province of the Chief of Guards and deal with people from all aspects of Rome? .Secondly, he brought so many entourages. If he becomes the head of the bodyguard, how will these entourages be arranged? I heard that none of these entourages have the status of Roman citizens, so it is impossible to arrange them into the mansion. Let them enter the mansion with His Excellency Feng Hu. Most of them also cannot speak the language, so it is very inconvenient. If they are allowed to return to the country in the same way, do you know whether Your Excellency Feng Hu agrees?"

After Amiyas finished speaking, he cast his eyes directly on Feng Yu, waiting for his answer.

She said so, and Feng Yu couldn't answer otherwise.And Feng Yu didn't want to be the head of this Laoshizi's bodyguard.Although this position has an extremely important position in Rome's political and military circles, it is also conducive to the realization of Feng Yu's plan.But it always has the nature of a servant who serves others, and Feng Yu doesn't want to wrong himself.In addition, once he entered the palace, his every move was under the noses of others, and he had to be careful in everything he did, avoiding people's eyes and ears.Feng Yu didn't want to be so restrained either.Now that Amiyas has spoken, how can Feng Yu not push the boat along the way, but just go down the slope?He immediately responded:

"Your Royal Highness is right. It is really inconvenient for me to enter the mansion as the Chief of Guards. In addition, I came to Rome to travel around and appreciate Western culture and customs. Once I become the Chief of Guards, I have to be tied to the palace all the time. So please Your Majesty take it back."

Rome does not have the title of empress dowager, but Amias is the daughter of the former emperor Severus and the younger sister of the former emperor Caracalla, so it is most appropriate for Feng Yu to call her the princess.

Everyone at the same table felt relieved when they saw Feng Yu saying this, but Alexander still didn't speak, but slowly sipped the bright red wine with a crystal wine glass.

But someone had already started, so everyone was not as silent as they were at the beginning, and expressed their opposition to Alexander tactfully.Only then did Alexander put down his wine glass, and asked Amias: "Then what position does mother think should be arranged for him? Such a hero, and because of his admiration for our country, he must not be left alone."

Amias continued to smile and said: "Your Excellency Feng Hu can kill hundreds of Celtic barbarians at the foot of the Alps with dozens of entourages. Presumably you must have experience in leading troops. And the military capability is extraordinary."

Feng Yu immediately replied modestly: "As for the princess, extraordinary military ability is really not enough. The battle in the Alps was somewhat lucky. And not only dozens of people like me participated, but dozens of soldiers from Rome also participated. , and the reinforcements arrived in time, this great victory is possible. Otherwise, the lives of me and dozens of others would have been lost at the foot of the Alps. However, I did have experience in leading troops in Liang State, this is because according to Liang State As a rule, everyone in the royal family needs to go through a certain amount of experience in the military."

Amiyas turned his head and said to Alexander: "It's just right, didn't we just start forming a new legion in Milan? Let Feng Hu be the head of this new legion."

Alexander was about to say yes, but Quintus said: "Your Majesty. As a foreigner who has just been naturalized, Feng Hu, I think it is not appropriate to hold such an important position in the army. I think that first Let His Excellency Feng Hu first practice in the Rome city government office, and after he is familiar enough with Rome and we are also familiar with him, it will not be too late to appoint him as a military officer."

The young Alexander obviously had a clumsy speech, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Quintus's blunt words, so he took up the wine glass in a concealed manner and sipped it in small sips.Feng Yu thought to himself, this Western culture is really different from that of China, if it were in the court of Daliang, even political opponents who are not at odds would generally not talk like this.

At this time, there was a faint smile like a silver bell in the hall.Feng Yu looked up, and it turned out that it was Amias who was smiling. She had already said, "It's understandable that the tribunes don't trust His Excellency Feng Hu. It's just that we don't need to be so worried. We had only one city in Rome 1000 years ago. At that time, the citizens were only the ancestors of the Roman nobles who now accounted for less than [-]% of the country's population. Now we have not only expanded the territory to the entire Latin territory, but also turned the Mediterranean Sea into an inner lake The vast land along the coast has become the territory of Rome. And our population includes not only Latins, but also Greeks, Phoenicians, Jews, Armenians, Persians, etc. Hundreds of races .If we are only limited to believe in our own population, it is impossible to achieve such achievements. Even now, there are even many Celtic, Germanic, and Slavic barbarians in the Roman legions for our use as mercenaries. Many of them They are already in the positions of centurion, thousand commander, and even legionary commander. You know, these barbarians are now the biggest foreign trouble in Rome. We can even trust these barbarian soldiers. Can't the visitors from the Liang Kingdom trust me?"

Gaius also chimed in and said: "The princess is very correct! What's more, a newly formed army is not an important position, and it can pose any threat. I agree with Feng Hu for this position."

Seeing such a situation, Quintus himself had no reason to refute, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, acquiescing to Amias' opinion.

Chapter 1002 Hotel Conflict

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Alexander put down the crystal cup and said, "That's it, Feng Hu will become the first head of the Milan Legion. The official letter of appointment will be issued in a couple of days."

Then he stood up again and said, "Come on, let's all have a toast to the new commander of the new army." The rest of the people quickly got up and drank together with Alexander.When everyone else sat down, Quintus did not sit down, and said slowly:

"However, before the head of the Milan Legion can obtain the letter of appointment and formally take office to hold the inauguration ceremony, there is still one thing to do. That is the naturalization ceremony. Because in order to be the head of the Roman Legion, you must have Roman citizenship, and citizenship needs to be held at the naturalization ceremony It can be regarded as officially obtained after that. In the ceremony, you need to swear to the god you believe in, to the Romans, and to everyone in the world, and you can only officially obtain the qualifications of Roman citizenship after you cannot betray Rome."

Feng Yu replied indifferently: "It's natural. I follow the arrangement of the tribune and complete this ceremony."

The banquet continued, but no business was discussed.But Feng Yu mentioned the matter of the lead water pipe on the sidelines, and he said: "I lived in the city of Rome, and I just found out that there is a well-developed water supply system here, which makes it extremely convenient to get water."

The people around him thought that he was going to praise Rome, and they couldn't help but show some pride on their faces.Unexpectedly, Feng Yu changed the subject and said again: "However, I found out that the pipes for conveying water are made of lead. This..."

Gaius next to Feng Yu said: "Brother Feng Hu, you are all Romans now, so you don't have to hesitate if you have something to say. Please say it straightforwardly, we don't care."

Feng Yu went on to say: "It seems inappropriate to use lead as a water pipe. Because the lead is poisonous and harmful to the human body."

After hearing his words, everyone nearby who could hear him laughed.Among them, diagonally across from Feng Yu, the middle-aged man with a shaved chin---Prosecutor Proseus said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, there is nothing poisonous about this lead. This water supply system has been built for almost 100 years, and it has passed." Several generations. If it was poisonous, the city of Rome would have been dead. In my opinion, this is caused by the fallacy of oriental medicine."

Feng Yu continued to explain: "Lead poisoning is neither acute nor fast poisoning, but chronic poisoning, that is, it will cause damage to the human body after a long period of time. In addition to causing premature aging, physical and mental strength will decline in advance. go down."

But everyone still didn't seem to believe Feng Yu's words, and someone jokingly said, "Oh, no wonder you are over forty and still look so young. It turns out that you haven't drunk much of our self-supplied water in Rome before." The words immediately elicited roars of laughter.Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Feng Yu had to give up, but he didn't know that Quintus secretly remembered this matter in his heart.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Feng Yu and Dian Qing, who were already somewhat drunk, returned to the Cedar Hotel in the carriage of the ruling mansion.

When Feng Yu got off the carriage, he heard the noise in the hotel.Feng Yu hurriedly stepped into the hall to take a look, only to see Simmons grabbing the hotel owner by the neck and yelling loudly.The rest of the people confronted a dozen servants of the hotel with sticks.

The hotel owner's face turned pale with fright. He was not afraid that he and others would be beaten by the other party, but that his own people would attack the other party. The other group of people obviously had a close relationship with the Consul's office, so they must not offend casually.

He yelled loudly in his mouth: "You are not allowed to do anything! Whoever does it, I want him to look good!" Then he said to Simmons: "Guests, please calm down first, maybe this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Simmons sneered and said, "What misunderstanding, I have confirmed it, and there are witnesses. You black hearted boss of a black shop, let us drink so much poisonous water."

The hotel owner argued anxiously: "Oh, what is this talking about. We really went to the reservoir to get water for you horse-drawn horses. There is no basis for what you said, and you can't make random guesses. You said you have someone Witness, who is the witness? If you don’t say it, it can’t be yourself. Oh, I see, you must be looking for an excuse to ask for the money back, so you are not paying attention..."

"You still dare to quibble, it seems that if you don't teach you a lesson today, you won't tell the truth." When Simmons was about to fight, he was stopped by Feng Yu: "Stop!"

Only then did everyone realize that it was Feng Yu and the others who had returned, and the hotel owner said with a smile on his face: "Oh, the distinguished guest has finally returned. You, the entourage, are trying to frame us out of nothing in order to get back the gold coins you tipped us. ..."

He was interrupted by Feng Yu before he finished speaking: "Don't interrupt." Then he asked Simmons and others: "What's going on?"

Simmons said: "Today I got news that the water they gave us for daily use these days is not the water that was promised to be taken from the cistern, but from dozens of steps away under the name of the same boss. The water was brought from a restaurant. I went to investigate it myself at noon today, and I found out that it was true."

The hotel owner hastily defended again: "He is completely bloody, he just wanted to steal those gold coins into his own pocket, that's why he just said that."

But Feng Yu sneered: "I may be skeptical about whoever you say is going to steal your money. I don't believe him alone. This person comes from a wealthy family, and his family's property is enough to buy your thousand hotels. enough."

The hotel owner's expression sank when he heard Feng Yu say the same, and said to Feng Yu: "Our hotel respects customers, but we can't allow people to make trouble for no reason and blackmail. I know that you have friendship with people in the government office, and even It may be the guest of His Majesty the Emperor. But the city of Rome is not like your eastern countries. It is a place of law. Rules are rules. What's more, our small shop is not without support in the political and military circles. I don't frighten you. Now, if you want to make trouble, Just produce evidence, personal evidence and physical evidence are all right, you can’t talk empty teeth and blood. You can come and go freely if you don’t want to stay, and we will refund you the hotel money according to the rules according to the number of days. But don’t think about the money for fetching water. I have to go back, because it is a tip, and there is no reason for a tip to be refunded."

The people on Feng Yu's side saw that the innkeeper didn't admit to being cowardly, but instead became more domineering and even more angry.The fists they had already put away were clenched and stretched out again, and the dozen or so staff and servants of the hotel also raised the sticks in their hands, and the battle was about to break out.

At this time, Feng Yu turned to Simmons and asked: "Who is the person who provided the information, you can tell it directly here."

Unexpectedly, Simmons showed a embarrassed expression on his face

Chapter 1003: Slave Bonnie

Facing Feng Yu's question, Simmons showed a embarrassed expression on his face and said, "I can't say this here."

Feng Yu immediately understood what Simmons meant, and then said in Chinese, "Just tell me in Chinese, they don't understand either."

Simmons still shook his head and said, "My lord, it's still not possible. I swore to that person and I will not reveal his identity to anyone."

At this time, Feng Yu's face changed slightly, but he was not forcing Simmons.Based on what he knew about Simmons, this person kept his promise, and as long as he made an oath, he would never break his promise even if it cost his life.It was also for this reason that Feng Yu took him with him as a trusted personal companion.
