Roman Slave Owner

In Rome, women cannot be guardians. That is to say, after the death of a Roman child's father, even if his mother is not dead, he can still be regarded as an orphan and can find another guardian.

Luculus, who was wearing a white toga, stood up and read the eulogy loudly.

I don't know when it started, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and then rumbling thunder sounded.

Light rain gradually began to fall in the sky, and Luculus' voice echoed in the square in the rain, appearing solemn and solemn.

After the reading, several strong and strong elders resisted Sulla's body, then left Rome, and walked to Mars Square, the God of War outside Rome.

Along the way, the bugle player played mourning music, and Li Wei, the elders and the army followed the bugle player, and then came to the God of War Mars Square outside the city.

There was already a great pyre on which the senators laid Sulla's body.

"Want to be cremated?"

Li Wei said in a low voice.

"The tradition of the Cornelius clan is burial, but the Senate disagreed. When Sulla dug up Mario's body, some people said that he was worried that his body would be desecrated, and said that he should be cremated first and then buried."

Serabio said meaningfully.

Mario's remains were thrown into the Tiber River by Sura's order, so don't you want Sura to feel better?

Li Wei was contemptuous for a while, and the political struggle in Rome had reached the point where the dead were involved.

The pyre was quickly ignited, and then burned Sulla's body to ashes.

Finally, he was buried in the central cemetery of Mars Square, where the emperors of Rome were buried.

Finally, a tombstone was erected with the epitaph written by Sulla himself.

There is revenge for revenge, and kindness for kindness.

Even the capital with interest, double repayment.

The state funeral is over, but there is still an atmosphere of panic throughout Rome, and some nobles and knights have fled Rome.

Because the more than 80,000 soldiers did not leave Rome, some camped in Mars Square, and some wandered in the city of Rome. They had to attend the Citizens' Assembly, and Lepidus held a Citizens' Assembly to vote to deprive them of their land.

Those angry soldiers tried every means to vent their anger, and the whole of Rome was trembling in their anger.

Faced with this situation, the Senate held an emergency meeting again to discuss countermeasures.

Outside Lepida's villa on Mount Sirio, hundreds of veterans were pointing at the villa and cursing.

"Lepida, what do you think you are? You actually want to confiscate our land. Let me tell you the truth, if my land really disappears, I will kill you sooner or later."

"You insidious villain, how did Sura promote you back then, and you actually betrayed Sura. The thing I despise most in my life is a betrayer."

"Don't think that you are the leader of the Ping faction. Even if you are the leader, we will kill you sooner or later."

"..."

Hearing all kinds of obscenities and even life-threatening words, the door of Lepida's villa was always closed, not even opened.

In the villa, Lepidus' face was ashen,

He knew that starting today, his prestige was really lost.

He was openly insulted by so many people and dared not speak back, but secretly how many people were laughing at him.

He was still worried about this, and he was most worried about Li Wei instigating these veterans to have a massacre or something.

He believed that those veterans would definitely be able to do it. Over the years, some veterans were not good at management, and even participated in gambling. They had already wiped out their own lands and hoped to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos. He had seen this kind of thing too much up.

At this time, twelve guards with guns came here to escort Catullus. Seeing this guard of honor, those veterans certainly knew who was coming.

But they still unceremoniously stopped Catullus' team, and a veteran representative in his thirties came out.

"Consul of Catullus, what are you doing here?"

"Veterans, I am here under the order of the Senate to persuade Lepidus to give up holding the citizens' meeting. His idea is a bit inappropriate, and it has caused too much loss to everyone's interests."

A gentle smile appeared on Catullus' face.

"is this real?"

A veteran said in surprise.

"That's true. In fact, many elders do not agree with this. It's just that Lepidus and a few people insist on going their own way. I hope everyone can keep calm and believe that the Senate can handle this matter well."

Catullus said.

The old soldiers looked at him suspiciously. The high officials in Rome really broke their hearts. They didn't trust anyone at all except a few people.

"Let's get out of the way and let the consul go in. No matter what he said is true or not, if someone dares to deprive us of our fields, we will fight them."

exclaimed a centurion.

"That's right, if anyone dares to take our field, I will kill their whole family."

"Kill all their families!"

"..."

Those veterans shouted one after another.

Looking at these arrogant veterans, Catullus was extremely embarrassed.

But he still maintained a good demeanor and knocked on Lepida's door.

After discovering that it was Catullus, they hurriedly opened the door.

When Catullus saw Lepidus again, he almost did not recognize the consul.

With bloodshot eyes and a decadent expression, he was grabbing a bottle of brandy and gulping it down. It was a world of difference from the high-spiritedness of the previous few days.

This made him sigh secretly, although he and Lepidus had political disagreements, but seeing him like this was quite sympathetic.

"What are you doing here? To see my joke?"

Lepidus said with a laugh.

"No, the Senate hopes that you can cancel the convening of the Citizens' Assembly, stop suing Li Wei or pass those laws. Now the development of things has exceeded our expectations, and the elders hope that Rome can restore stability."

Catullus said.

"Why? What qualifications do they have to cancel the citizens' meeting I convened? What mistake did I make and they want to treat me like this? Is Sulla's massacre right? If you want me to say that those elders are a group of cowards, they are a group of cowards, Seeing so many soldiers, they wish they could kneel on the ground and lick their feet..."

Lepidus said angrily.

"you're drunk."

Catullus said.

"I'm not drunk, tell me the truth, am I right?"

Lepidus grabbed Catullus by the collar and said, the smoky smell of alcohol came to his face.

Catullus smiled wryly, it seemed that it was impossible to persuade him today.

Late at night, a grand banquet was being held in Lukulusi's villa.

The people of Sura's family were celebrating their great victory this time. Various ladies and ladies gathered together, and the elders under Li Wei also participated in it.

They have been familiar with this for a long time, Serapio is having a hot fight with several ladies, and now he has completely let himself go.
