Chapter 1002 Hotel conflict

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Alexander put down the crystal cup and said, "That's it, Feng Hu will become the first commander of the Milan Legion. The official letter of commission will be issued in one or two days."

Then he stood up and said, "Come on, let's have a drink for the new commander of the new army." The others quickly stood up and raised their glasses to drink with Alexander. When everyone else sat down, Quentus said slowly:

"However, before the commander of the Milan Legion has to do something before he receives the letter of appointment and formally takes office, he must do something. That is the naturalization ceremony. Because to be the commander of the Roman Legion, he must have Roman citizenship, and citizenship needs to be considered formally obtained after the naturalization ceremony. At the ceremony, you need to swear to the gods you believe in, to the Romans, and to everyone in the world that you cannot betray Rome before you can officially obtain Roman citizenship."

Feng Yu replied calmly: "This is natural. I follow the arrangements of the civil guardians, and it is time to complete this ceremony."

The banquet continued, but no one talked about business again. However, Feng Yu mentioned the lead water pipe indirectly. He said: "I lived in the city of Rome, and I learned that there is a developed water supply system here, which makes it extremely convenient to get water."

Everyone nearby thought that he wanted to praise Rome, and he couldn't help but show some proud look on his face. Unexpectedly, Feng Yu changed his tone and said, "But I found that the pipe that transports water is cast from lead. This..."

Gayus next to Feng Yu said, "Brother Feng Hu, now you are all Romans. If you have something to say, don't hesitate. Please say it straightforwardly and we won't care."

Feng Yu continued: "It seems inappropriate to use lead as a water pipe. Because this lead is toxic and harmful to the human body."

After hearing what he said, everyone nearby who could hear him laughed. Diagonally opposite Feng Yu, the middle-aged man with a chin scratched, said: "Don't worry, you have no need to worry, what poison is this lead? This water supply system has been built for almost a hundred years, and it has been several generations. If it is poisonous, this Roman city should have become a dead city. In my opinion, this is caused by the fallacy of Eastern medicine."

Feng Yu continued to explain: "Lead poison is not a severe poison or a quick poison, but it will cause chronic poisoning, that is, it will cause damage to the human body after accumulation. In addition to causing people to age early, their physical and mental strength will decline early."

But everyone seemed to not believe Feng Yu's words. Someone joked, "Oh, no wonder you are over forty and still look so young. It turns out that you have never drunk much of our Rome self-supply water before." This sentence immediately attracted a lot of laughter. Feng Yu saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he had to give up. However, he didn't know that Kuntus secretly remembered the matter in his heart.

Until the afternoon, Feng Yu and Dian Qing, who were already a little drunk, returned to the Cedar Hotel in the carriage from the ruling residence.

Feng Yu got off the carriage and heard the noise in the hotel. Feng Yu hurried into the hall and saw Simmons grabbing the neck of the hotel owner and yelling loudly. The rest of the people confronted each other with more than a dozen servants holding sticks in the hotel.

The hotel owner's face was already scared and silly. He was not afraid that he would be beaten by the other party, but that his own people would attack the other party. The other party's group of people obviously had close relationships with the consul's office and would definitely not offend him casually.

He shouted loudly: "No action is allowed! I want him to look good if anyone does it!" Then he said to Simmons: "Please calm down first with a distinguished guest. Maybe this is a misunderstanding or a misunderstanding."

Simmons sneered: "What misunderstanding, I have confirmed it, and there are still people who have proved it. You, the black-hearted black boss of the black shop, have let us drink poisonous water for so many days."

The hotel owner urgently argued: "Oh, what's the matter? We really went to the reservoir to pick up horses and get water for you guys. We have to speak with a basis, so we can't make random guesses. You said you have a certificate, who is the certificate? If you don't say it, it's not you. Oh, I understand, it must be because you want to find an excuse to ask for the money back, but you don't care about it..."

"You dare to argue. It seems that if you don't teach you some lessons today, you won't tell the truth." When Simmons was about to fight, he was stopped by Feng Yu: "Stop!"

Everyone then realized that Feng Yu and others had returned. The hotel owner said happily, "Oh, the distinguished guest has finally returned. In order to cheat the gold coins you gave us back, your servant insisted on making a false accusation from nothing..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Yu interrupted and said, "Don't interrupt first." Then he asked Simmons and others, "What the hell is going on?"

Simmons then said: "Today I got the news that the water they used for us in the past few days was not the water they had said to be fetched from the reservoir, but the water was fetched from a few dozen steps away for a wine shop under the boss's name. I went to investigate it myself at noon today, and it turned out that it was true."

The hotel owner hurriedly defended himself: "He was completely slandering. He just wanted to extort those gold coins into his own purse, and he said so."

Feng Yu sneered: "Whoever you say wants to extort your money, I may be skeptical. I don't believe it. This person is born in a wealthy family, and his family's property may be enough to buy your thousand hotels."

When the hotel owner heard Feng Yu say this, his face suddenly sank and said to Feng Yu: "Our hotel regards customers as the most respectful person, but we cannot let others make unreasonable troubles and extortion. I know that you have friendship with the people in the official office, and they may even be the guests of His Majesty the Emperor. But Rome City is not as good as your Eastern countries, it is a place where laws are discussed. Rules are rules. What's more, our small shop is not without a backer in the political and military circles, so it's not a big deal. Now, if you want to make trouble, you can take out evidence, both people and physical evidence, and you can't swear by empty words and white teeth. It's okay if you don't want to live there. You can come and go freely. We will refund the money for staying in the hotel according to the rules according to the rules. But don't want to go back the money for water, because it's a tip, and there's no reason to refund the tip."

When the people on Feng Yu saw that the hotel owner did not admit defeat, they became more domineering, and became even more angry. Their fists, which had already been put away, clenched and stretched out, and more than a dozen servants in the hotel also raised the sticks in their hands, and the battle was about to break out.

Feng Yu turned around and asked Simmons: "Who is the person who provided the news? Just tell me directly here."

Unexpectedly, Simmons showed a embarrassed expression on his face...
