Roman Slave Owner

"Why are you so forthright? Are you worried about my trouble with the Scipio family?"

Li Wei smiled disdainfully.

"This really has nothing to do with the Scipio family. You must not wrong them. How can Scipio have so much money? It takes a lot of money to supply so many weapons and armor. Only Bendu can provide so much money."

Coponius said, "And... and it is very likely that Lysix is ​​also from Pontus. His identity is very mysterious. We all suspect that he is a Pontus noble in disguise."

Li Wei was silent for a while, and then said: "So that's the case, I believe you."

Hearing this, Coponius breathed a sigh of relief.

But Li Wei had a sneer on his face. If he was not sure before, now he is very sure that the Scipio family is definitely involved, and it is time to complete the final blow to Nashika.

"But I remember that when Lepidus sued me, someone from the Scipio family seemed to support him."

Li Wei said, "So I think that Lepidus must have colluded with him and participated in this rebellion."

"Li Wei, what are you going to do? Don't mess around."

Coponius said in horror.

"The Relius family has been friendly with Scipio for generations. I don't believe he is innocent. So..."

Levi took out a parchment, then took Coponius' finger, which had blood from him, and pressed down on the parchment in spite of his objections.

"Li Wei, you bastard, what is that?"

Coponius said angrily.

"Of course it's your confession."

Li Wei said with a smile, then drew out his long sword, and stabbed him fiercely on the neck.

Blood spurted out, and Coponius looked at him angrily, but finally closed his eyes helplessly.

"Remember that in the next life, don't fight against me, otherwise this will be your fate."

Levi said.

Li Wei quickly quelled the Naples rebellion and at the same time crucified thousands of pirates on the coast. The news spread quickly.

Lucullus and Crassus kept quelling the pirate rebellion everywhere, and after losing Naples, those pirates gradually disappeared.

Li Wei immediately ordered the armies of Lucullus and Crassus to station separately in various places to prevent pirates, and they came back to report.

At this time, the news of Pompey's defeat of Lepidus also came, and Rome won a comprehensive victory.

All of a sudden, housing prices in Rome skyrocketed, and the biggest beneficiary of this was of course Li Wei.

It didn't take long before the Roman Senate sent Serapio to announce the Senate's order.

"Patriarch, the Senate is very satisfied with your performance and said that it is time for you to disband the army."

After arriving in Dragon City, Serabio was not polite at all, sat on a couch and drank a glass of brandy.

"Did you say that I was allowed to hold a triumphal ceremony?"

Li Wei asked jokingly.

"How is that possible? There is no triumph in a civil war, and you are too young."

"Is defeating pirates a civil war?"

"If you want, I can refer this issue to the Senate."

Serapio laughed and said.

"Then what are they going to do with Nasika Scipio?"

Levi said.

"Still arguing, many people are against his execution."

Li Wei's face darkened immediately, those damn elders still plan to save Nashika's life, are they going to let him kill themselves before they can get rid of him?

"Go back and tell the Senate that pirates are still raging in the Campania region, Dragon City is still in danger, and I cannot disband the army."

Levi said.

Hearing this, Serapio's face immediately changed, "Master, are you really going to do this? Do you know what it means?"

"The number of my guards is too small. The guards of half a legion are not enough to protect the safety of Dragon City, so this time Dragon City was almost breached by pirates. In addition, I hope to lead my troops to wipe out the pirates. They committed a lot of blood in Dragon City. I must avenge my men."

Levi said.

"Is that what you asked for?"

"That's right, there are only these three requirements. To execute Scipio, the guards must be increased to at least 10,000 people, and I am authorized to encircle and suppress the pirates."

Levi said.

"Patriarch, do you want to think about it again? Not disbanding the army is a serious crime. If you are listed as a public enemy of Rome, there will be no room for maneuver."

Serapio said with a bitter face.

"Don't worry, the Senate will definitely agree in the end."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go back in a few days."

Serabio said.

He planned to persuade Li Wei again, otherwise the Senate would definitely be furious when the news came back.

"it's up to you."

But Li Wei did not change his mind in the end. After Serabio returned to Rome, he found that the Senate was holding a meeting, so he hurried to the Senate.

As soon as he arrived at the Temple of Jupiter, he found that the temple was wide open. Annius stood at the gate of the temple, performing the sacred duty of the tribunes of the people to seal the entrance and exit.

A group of Roman citizens watched the situation from outside the temple. When the Senate started, there were often citizens watching outside and shouting to influence the decision of the Senate.

"You're back."

Annius gave him a deep look, then stepped out of the way.

"Yes."

Serapio's smile was a bit bitter. After entering the Senate, he heard a heated debate going on inside.

"It's really outrageous. Pompey refused the army, saying that he had fled into Spain with his remaining crimes unaccounted for, and he wanted to lead troops into Spain."

"Who does he think he is, dare to disobey the order of the Senate."

"I think he should be listed as an Enemy of Rome."

"I object, Pompeo has his reasons for doing this."

"..."

Serabio smiled wryly, and they really joined forces. No wonder Li Wei asked him to cooperate with Pompey's forces to jointly pass these bills.

At this time, the consul Corta who presided over the meeting, Caesar's uncle, noticed Serapio's arrival.

"Silence! Silence, everyone! Our special envoy Serabio is back, why don't we hear what he has accomplished?"

Kota said loudly.

The Senate slowly fell silent, and then everyone looked at Kota.

"Serapio, has Li Wei disbanded the army?"

asked an elder.

"No, he said that the pirates in Campania have not been cleared, and there are still pirates raging. Moreover, Dragon City's strength is too weak to guarantee its own safety. He still insists on his own three requirements."

Serabio said.

Hearing this, the Senate was silent.

Pompey refused to disband the army, and Li Wei also refused to disband the army. What are they going to do?

Are they going to rebel?

"How can they do this? They are..."

An elder said angrily that he was about to accuse them, but he did not accuse them.
