"You mean he was lying?" Celsis blinked.

"Undoubtedly! But I did not send anyone to the address of Katane, which the freedman said, to continue the investigation. According to the law, he has cancelled the report, and the inspection team has no need to continue the investigation, and I I don’t want to alarm some people..." Diocasis whispered secretly: "I can spend so much money to make a father forget his daughter’s disappearance... Celisis, don’t tell me, you guessed it. I don’t know who is behind the scenes."

"Pavogres!" Celisius blurted out.

Diocasis fingered Celisis and said excitedly: "I also think it's the guy who you told us many times about his'abusive slave girls'!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in with the plate, and the two immediately stopped talking.

"Celicis, taste this before drinking." Diocassis couldn't wait to grab a palm-sized oyster. No matter it was hot, he used a fork to carefully pick up the white oyster in the shell. The flesh, put it in your mouth, chew it carefully, then take a sip of the remaining soup in the dry shell, and pick up another one.

"This stuff is so soft, I can't get used to it." Celsis said, grabbing a roast leg of lamb and biting off a piece.

"You don't understand this. Do you know who invented this ‘steamed oyster’?"

"I am not interested in knowing."

"Hehe..." After Diocasis had eaten several times in a row, he showed a satisfied expression, and then pretended to say mysteriously: "It's your majesty!"

"Really?!" Celiston was surprised.

"Do I still lie to you! Seven years ago, when His Majesty Daves went down to inspect the naval port that was being built in the Tarantum Port, he saw that this stuff was everywhere on the reef beach, and the laborers were still trying They were smashed, mixed with sand and volcanic ash, and prepared to be poured into boulders to facilitate the construction of a dock. His Majesty immediately stopped their behavior, saying that they were spoiling good things and asked the guards to collect the oysters. Please come and inspect together that night. The admirals of the admiral had an oyster dinner and told them that eating this food can improve the ability of men... Since then, Christia’s restaurant has added another dish-steamed oysters, on oyster meat Coated with various sauces and boiled in boiling water, the taste is really beautiful!"

The intoxicated look of Diocassis made Celicis stunned: "It turns out that the words'eating oysters can improve men's abilities' were said by your majesty. I thought it was made up by restaurants to sell such things. Of."

"Otherwise, how could your Majesty easily deal with two beautiful princesses and give birth to so many children. Besides, without this thing, I would not dare to go to the brothel frequently." Diocasis said jokingly.

Diocasis didn’t dare to take this. He turned his head and looked at the closed door, and said sternly: “Don’t be kidding, talk about business. You want me to check it for you. Fergus?"

"It's not for me, it's for yourself!" Diocassis pointed at him with his finger and smiled slightly: "Don't you want to go to Turie at the end of the year?"

Selicis opened his eyes when he heard this.

The "Go to Turei" mentioned by Diocasis is not to go for fun, but to participate in the Dionian Guardian Conference at the end of each year, but it is not the guardian of every city. Officials can participate, and there are quotas. A city like Naxos has three custodians. Only outstanding custodians can be elected. Reflecting the suffering of the people, safeguarding the interests of the common people, exposing violations of laws and regulations, corruption and fraud are the main responsibilities of the civil servants. The main jurisdiction that Celisis is responsible for is restricted by the Laodixian family. Most of the problems have not been solved well, which has affected the public's perception of him. Naturally, he is not among the three guardians elected by the Naxos people every year.

According to the law: the civic officer is mainly responsible for the Damo where he is located. Of course, he can also participate in the affairs of other regions when other civic civic officials do not act or need assistance. This time, if Celesis can use this incident to seize Paphrolith's braids, frighten Laodixian's family, and avenge the free people, it will certainly attract the attention of the people of Naxos.

Thinking of this, Celsis’s eyes were a bit more enthusiastic. He leaned forward and said: "You, the inspector, have given up on this case. I, a civic officer, apart from shouting injustice and inciting Besides the people, what role can I play? I don’t have the right to forcibly search people’s homes!"

"Celicis, as the guardian of Prosdemo, the people there are closely related to you and can get some news that I can’t get. You are familiar with the environment there and can avoid the family’s Attention, achieve what you want..." Diocasis talked eloquently, then he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "I’m telling you an important news. A good friend of mine was at Laodixian’s house yesterday afternoon. I saw two Laodicean slaves appearing from behind the hill in their field. When I saw my friend, I was very panicked and turned around to run away... This situation is suspicious, I am afraid it is related to the missing girl. It’s not that they imprisoned the girl somewhere in the mountains or--"

"Kill her!" Celsis squeezed the lamb's leg bones in his hands: "Do you remember that I once reflected to you that'Pafergrice abused female slaves and may even murder female slaves." Matter?"

Diocasis nodded: "Now you have a chance to confirm this rumor."

"Is that friend of yours Galademus?" Celisis asked again cautiously, seeing Diocassis slightly surprised, so he said: "Because I knew he was the only one going there yesterday afternoon. The village where Raodixian’s family is located checks the fields. Since he said it, I’m relieved."

Selicis resolutely said: "I'll take care of this!"

"Great, let's have a toast! I wish you all the best!" Diocasis raised the jar.

………………………………

For seven days, Prosdemo was as calm as usual. The farmers carefully looked after the wheat fields that were about to mature, waiting for the harvest.

The city of Naxos is quite lively. Stromboli participates in the farewell banquets organized for him by his colleagues and businessmen every day, while the people in the city cheer for the Naxos final rugby championship team. And sincerely wish this team will go to Turei to participate in the Dionian Kingdom Rugby Finals after the Hades celebration ceremony on September 9th.

At dusk on the eighth day, three people trek through the mountains west of Meyaluo Town. The man in the middle was Celsis, who carried a pickaxe on his shoulder. The slender man in front of him kept observing the surroundings, and at the same time he kept smashing the weeds and branches that almost covered the mountain road with the long stick in his hand.

"Uh, Afitis, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we found it! Didn't you forget the place?!" The man behind couldn't help complaining.

"Provalles, I tell you, I have a good memory. I still remember clearly what happened ten years ago, let alone just a year ago, let’s talk about the situation on that day. It's so special, how could I forget it!" Afitis retorted.

"But what if you look at the wrong place? Look, the dense trees here make me dizzy." Provalles said unconvinced.

"I am the best archer in the Eighth Army Light Infantry Brigade. My eyes are so good that I can see your face clearly from a mile away!" Afitis said confidently.

Provalles snorted and wanted to say it again. Celsis in the middle asked: "Afitis, how far is it from where you said?"

"Quickly, Captain." Afitis pointed to the front with a wooden stick: "Go around this mountain beam, and you will reach the back mountain of Laodixian's field."

Selicis looked forward. The dense trees obstructed his vision, and he couldn't see the way forward at all. The sunset light penetrated the next beam of light from the gap between the leaves, making the surroundings look a little gloomy.

He asked a little worried: "Will the sun go down when we get there?"

"No, it won't be dark until nine o'clock this season, it's completely too late!" Afitis said confidently.

As soon as he crossed the mountain beam, Afitis motioned for the two to hunch down.

Standing on the top of this mountain, the line of sight immediately became extremely wide, and the scenery of the mountains and forests in front of him could be seen in full view.

Afitis pointed to the front and whispered: "I went hunting in the mountains a year ago. It was here that I saw Pafergus and his slaves burying something in the col on the opposite side..."

"Why didn't you go and dig it?" Provalles couldn't help asking.

"That's Pafogres! His father is the senator of the Kingdom Senate, and his brother-in-law is also the senator of the Senate, and even the former conqueror of Catania. I wouldn't have gotten into these troubles! If not! Captain, you have asked many times, and I won't come today!" Afitis had some fear in his eyes.

Celicis patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Afitis observed for a while and said, "There is no one on the mountain in front, let's go down."

"We have been observing for several days. It was because we confirmed that there are no more slaves from Laodixian on the opposite mountain in the past two days!" Provalles said.

"Speak as little as possible after everyone goes down for a while!" Celisis reminded.

The three of them walked down the narrow mountain road and finally came to the mountain col.

"It's just ahead." Afitis said a little excitedly. He walked forward with difficulty against the weeds that were almost a person tall.

The trees in this area are more luxuriant, so the light is darker, and the faint sound of running water can be heard. Only by careful observation can you see a small stream that is squiggly under the shade of rocks, fallen leaves, and withered grass. Flowing into this mountain col, there are densely packed red insects dancing in the black and red stream, which makes people creepy, and it also makes people understand why this piece of grass grows so fast that the land is too fertile.

The three of them walked forward strenuously, stepping on the soft soil, one foot deep and one shallow foot.

"Ah!" Provalles exclaimed.

"What's the matter?" Celisius asked hurriedly back.

"Something...something climbed on my feet!" Provalles was shaking all over.

Selicis took a look at the grass carefully, and a huge toad was lying on his feet.
