Roman Slave Owner

"Untie him, a Roman should not be treated like this."

A fake smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

Several soldiers quickly stepped forward to untie the rope for him, and then Li Wei asked someone to arrange a seat pull for him.

After this action, Varius looked at him much better.

"Varyus, can you tell me what your purpose is here? If you can tell me your purpose truthfully, I will consider interceding for you and remove you from the public enemy of the state."

Levi said.

"Of course it is to contact the pirates and Pontus to fight against Rome together."

Varius said with a sneer.

Li Wei looked surprised, he didn't expect Varius to recruit so readily.

But soon he understood Varius' purpose, and the 12 legions under Li Wei were really terrifying.

Once the pirates are wiped out, Li Wei leads these legions to attack Sertorius, and it will be a disaster for Sertorius.

Therefore, it is best to drag both the pirates and Bendu into the water, so as to relieve the pressure on Seidoliu to the greatest extent.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Levi asked.

"I have a personal letter from the King of Pontus, and I can give it to you."

Varius said.

After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the soldier, who handed it to Li Wei.

After reading this letter, Li Wei was overjoyed. It was a letter written in Greek, so Li Wei could understand it.

With this letter, he has sufficient reason to attack Bendu.

"Are you willing to go to the Roman Senate to testify? If you are willing, I promise to do my best to help you get rid of the crime."

Levi said.

"no problem."

Varius said with a smile.

Although they knew each other was hostile and knew each other's purpose, this did not affect their cooperation in the slightest.

Luculus shook his head, morality.

After Varius was sent back to Rome, the Senate immediately held a meeting to question him.

"Varyus, are you sure that your letter is genuine and not faked by someone else?"

A patriarch Picasso asked.

He used to be Sura's capable general, and besides that, he had another well-known identity, that is, Caesar's future father-in-law.

"I swear to the gods, this letter is absolutely true."

Varius said with a smile.

"Sedorius really wants to jointly attack Rome with King Mithridates VI of Pontus?"

another elder asked.

"Yes, I personally met the King of Pontus, which he promised himself."

Varius said.

The elders asked one question after another, and Varius answered every question. Almost everyone confirmed that King Pontus did intend to join forces with Sedorius to attack Rome.

Serabio immediately began his speech, "Dear senators, the situation is now very clear. Bendu has joined forces with Sertorius to try to destroy Rome. I suggest that General Li Wei be given absolute command and allow General Li Wei Attack Pontus after destroying the pirates, let the king of Pontus pay for his actions with blood."

"I object. The offense needs a seasoned and experienced veteran to lead the team. Li Wei is really young, and he is not suitable."

At this time Bisso said.

Everyone looked at him with some surprise. Bi Suo was a capable general of Su La's faction. It was a bit surprising that he actually came forward to oppose Li Wei.

"I don't know who is the experienced veteran that Bi Suo mentioned? It must be you."

Serapio sneered.

Picasso blushed, but he didn't say anything, it seemed that he had hit the nail on the head.

"Li Wei's record proves that he is a very capable general. Hannibal led the army to attack Rome in his twenties, so age is not a problem. I decided to convene a citizens' assembly and submit a proposal to the citizens' assembly to allow General Li Wei to command all but All the armies except Italy and Spain, and leave to him the power to fight the East or not."

At this time Annius said.

hear here,

All the elders were in an uproar.

To command all armies except Italy and Spain! What a power!

"I object! This power is too great!"

"Even a dictator has no such power!"

"..."

Many elders spoke out against it.

But Annius sneered, after all, this matter is still decided by the citizens' assembly, and your opposition is nothing.

"Annius Tribune, I will never allow you to propose such an absurd proposal. I will use my consul's power to cancel this citizens' assembly."

At this time Octavian said.

The consul has the power to cancel all officials, treasurers, and tribunes of the people to call the assembly.

Annius took a deep look at him, "Are you sure?"

Don't think that Annius is a soft persimmon. The tribunes of the populace have the power to veto the proposals of the consuls. Ordinary consuls will not easily offend the tribunes of the populace.

"I am sure."

Octavian said.

Annius cursed secretly, don't blame me for being rude to you in the future.

But he had anticipated this, so he turned his gaze to Kota.

Kota coughed lightly, and then said helplessly, "Consul Octavian, why are you acting like this? I don't think it's good."

To be honest, their family has a good relationship with Octavian, and even the political views of the two sides are close, so he really doesn't want to make trouble with Octavian.

"Are you going to support him? Are you not afraid that he will become another Sura?"

Octavian said.

"Octavian, you have gone too far."

Serapio said angrily.

Many elders also had ugly faces, after all, many of them were pushed up by Sura.

Octavian realized his slip of the tongue, but he had no intention of apologizing.

"If you're going to cancel his town hall meeting, then this town hall meeting will be called by me instead."

Kota said.

Octavian can cancel other people's convening of the citizens' assembly, but he cannot cancel his, because he is also the consul.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Octavian said bitterly.

"Yes."

Kota said.

"You will regret this."

Octavian said coldly.

Kota smiled, at least now he will not regret it.

There are always a large number of people in the Roman Forum, and politicians one after another give speeches to the people here. This is the place where their dreams start.

Serabio and Cicero were each addressing a crowd in order to promote Annius' bill.

"Great Roman citizens, the current food price has dropped by more than half compared to three months ago, can anyone tell me why?"

Serabio said to the citizens.

"It's because Li Wei wiped out the pirates."

said a citizen.

"What he said is right, it's because of Levi! The great Levi! Because Livi wiped out almost all the pirates within three months, the Egyptian grain ships can continuously transport grain to Rome. We To eat such cheap food."

Serapio said loudly.
