Roman Slave Owner

The only thing that can stop them is the Citizens' Assembly, but this time Pompeo and Li Wei returned with a big victory, which is the opportunity for public opinion to rise, and it is estimated that counting on the Citizens' Assembly will not be of much use.

Thinking of this, he didn't even have the desire to eat, so he pushed the meal aside.

"Father, we must not let them succeed. If this continues, Li Wei's power will grow stronger and stronger."

Keller said.

Hearing Li Wei's name, the eyes of a teenager sitting beside him flashed with hatred.

He is Scipio Metellus. Both his grandfather and father died at the hands of Li Wei. He and Li Wei are truly at odds.

"Then what can you do?"

Metellus said with a sullen face.

"We have to find a way to break up the alliance of the Big Three."

Keller said.

"How to dismantle it?"

Metellus asked.

"I think we can start with Pompey. He has been away from Rome for many years and does not understand the changes in Rome over the years. If he knows, he will be very vigilant against Li Wei. At that time we can support Pompey and even Crassus and Li Wei We do it right."

Keller said.

"You're right. Pompey is a very proud man, and he won't be willing to be suppressed by Li Wei. But there is one thing you don't know. The three of them married each other on purpose yesterday."

Metellus said with a gloomy face.

"What did you say? They actually plan to marry?"

Keller couldn't help being shocked.

"That's right, but Li Wei didn't agree. He said he would let the children fall in love freely, but neither Pompey nor Crassus planned to give up."

Metellus said.

At this time, he felt very fortunate, but fortunately Li Wei did not agree, otherwise they would have no chance.

"They must not be allowed to marry! We must find a way to destroy their marriage!"

Kyle exclaimed.

"You are right. Once they get married, Rome will be their world."

Metellus had a serious look on his face.

"Publius Crassus and I are good friends. I'm afraid he won't agree to marry Portia."

At this moment, Scipio Metellus suddenly said.

"Why?"

Metellus asked.

Scipio Metellus was about the same age as Publius, only a few years older than him, so perhaps he could offer some special advice.

"Publius attaches great importance to blood. Portia is only the daughter of a slave. He will not agree to marry a daughter of a slave, even if her father is Li Wei."

Scipio said.

Hearing this, Metellus and Keller's eyes brightened.

"Yeah, that's just wonderful."

Metellus said happily.

"We can tell Li Wei this sentence quietly, and he will definitely be very angry."

Kyle said with a laugh.

"That's right, he will definitely drive Publius out, and the relationship between him and Crassus will be over."

Metellus narrowed his eyes with a smile,

Like an old fox who stole a chicken.

"Little Pompey had slept with several female slaves a long time ago. He told me this himself."

Scipio Metellus continued.

"Hahaha, this is really great. I don't believe that Li Wei knows this, and he is still willing to marry his daughter to them."

Metellus laughed happily.

"Scipio, you did a good job today."

Kyle gave a thumbs up.

"It's nothing, I just know some news that you don't know."

Scipio said with a smile.

Metellus and Keller discussed how to tell Levi the news to achieve the greatest effect. Listening to the conversation between the two, Scipio showed a happy smile on his face, and he was finally able to hurt Levi. up.

"Although we can provoke the relationship between the three of them, this is still a temporary solution to the forces suppressing Li Wei. In just ten years, Li Wei will have unparalleled influence."

Scipio continued.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Metellus asked.

Scipio glanced at the slaves waiting around, "You guys go down first, remember to keep a guard on the gate, no one will be eavesdropped."

The slaves responded and filed out.

"Only Levi's death can end this."

Scipio said in a low voice.

Metellus and Keiler looked at Scipio in shock. They did not expect that this young man, who was not yet an adult, would say such a thing.

Metellus poured himself a glass of wine to suppress his shock, but his hands shook so badly that he spilled it all over his body.

He wiped the red wine on his body in embarrassment, and it took a long time before he stabilized his emotions.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if this matter gets out?"

Metellus said.

"I know, it's nothing more than death."

Scipio said.

"It's not just you who will die, think about the fate of your whole family."

Keller said.

Hearing this, Scipio couldn't help clenching his fists.

Just because his grandfather had a slight delusion about the method of making sugar, Li Wei sent someone to kill him.

Killing his own grandfather is not enough, he even killed his exiled father, it is really hateful.

"He is not a reasonable person. Once he thinks that you sent someone to assassinate him, whether it is true or not, he will definitely go all out to kill your whole family. I will pretend that you didn't say this. Come, let's have dinner .”

Metellus said.

"Assassination is beyond the rules of the game. Over the years, very few people have assassinated political opponents."

Keller also said.

After talking, Metellus and Keller started to eat. Their reaction was completely beyond Scipio's expectation. He thought they would happily agree.

He thought for a long time, and finally said what he was holding back.

"Grandpa, those nobles who were exiled by Sura came to me."

Scipio said.

Metellus paused for a moment, then continued to eat.

"What do they want from you?"

"They want to be able to go back to Rome."

Scipio said.

"You're sure there are no rebels in Spain."

Metellus said with a cold snort.

"Absolutely not! They said that as long as you can help them come back, Grandpa, they are willing to follow your lead."

Scipio said.

"It's hard."

Metellus said.

Both he and the Big Three of Rome were Sulla's generals back then, and they were naturally wary of these nobles who were exiled by Sulla, not to mention that they were more or less involved in the Lepidus Rebellion.

If they hadn't been too deeply involved with the nobles of Rome, they would have all been killed in the first place.

"Did they propose to assassinate Levi?"

Kyler asked.

"Yes."

Scipio said.

"You tell them that I can't do anything about this matter, they should think of other ways. Also, you'd better stay away from them, in case they do something crazy, don't implicate us."

Metellus said.

Scipio looked sad, he didn't expect that Metellus and his son would not support his decision.

"Okay, we still have to go to the Senate. Keller, let's go."

After eating, Metellus wiped his mouth and said.

"OK."

Keller said, and they left here after speaking.

Today is the day when the Senate convenes to discuss Li Wei and Pompey's early competition for the consul, and they cannot be late.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Scipio looked unwilling.

What cowards!

He thought for a while, then got up and left here, went down the Palatine Hill alone, and came to an inconspicuous tavern in the Sula district. At this time, there were only a few people in the tavern.

"Have a beer!"

Scipio chose a table and sat down.

"Please wait."

The eyes of the proprietress of the tavern lit up, and soon a female slave put a bottle of beer in front of his table.

"Please enjoy."

A flattering smile appeared on the slave girl's face.

Scipio nodded and drank his beer.

The beer tasted bad, but Scipio gulped down the mug anyway.

"Did they agree?"

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big beard sat beside him with his head bowed.

He was wearing a woolen cloak that smelled like sheep, which made Scipio's nose very uncomfortable.

"No, they are worried that your failed assassination will implicate them."

Scipio said.

The middle-aged man couldn't help curling his lips, they are still really careful.

"Can you kill Li Wei? As long as you don't implicate them, I believe they would like to see Li Wei die."

Scipio said.

"Then what about our request?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and asked.

If the pirates who attacked Dragon City were there, they would have discovered that this middle-aged man was not their second-in-charge Relius?

At this time, his face was full of vicissitudes, like a middle-aged uncle, who was not as energetic as before.

"I promise to do my best to convince them."

Scipio said.

Relius shook his head, "You are too young, your words have no weight."

"That's the end of the enmity between you and Li Wei? How much property and land does his church occupy, and the villa where Li Wei lives now belongs to your family."

Scipio said angrily.

Relius glanced at him indifferently, "You don't have to provoke me, we won't make a move until we see no benefit. After these years of wandering, many people's desire for revenge has faded, they just want to go home."

go home?

Scipio gave him a blank look, how could they do that? Don't they have a deep hatred with Li Wei?

"I still say the same thing. If you agree to our conditions, we can assassinate Li Wei. If you don't agree, we won't mess with him. If you change your mind, you can come here to find the lady boss, and she can contact me. "

After speaking, Relius left here.

"Bastards! They're all cowards! Cowards!"

Scipio couldn't help cursing, and his handsome young face became hideous with anger.

The proprietress gave him an indifferent look and ignored him.

Inside Crassus' villa, the family of four of Crassus is dining.

A beautiful lady feeds a four- or five-year-old child herself. She has a golden wig, an extremely plump figure, and a pair of light gray eyes full of love. She is Crassus' wife Kornie Leah.

Publius sat on the lower head of Crassus. After a few years, he has become a handsome boy.

"By the way, Publius, let me tell you something. You and I will go to the Vatican tomorrow, and you'd better dress up nicely."

Crassus said.

"Is there a problem?"

asked Publius.

"I'm going to tell you about a marriage. What do you think of Portia?"

Crassus asked.

"Portia? Levi's daughter?"

Publius frowned and said.

"Yes, what do you think? I discussed it with your mother yesterday, and she agreed with it."

Crassus said.

"Why Portia, her mother is a slave, and slave blood runs in her veins. I will not marry her."

Publius said.

Crassus was stunned, "What did you say? You don't want to marry Portia?"

He tried to get Li Wei to give him a chance, but he didn't expect that he would eat a turtle in front of his own children.

"Yes, Li Wei is a great Roman general, and I admire him very much, but it is absolutely impossible for me to marry a descendant of a slave."

Publius said.

Seeing Publius' proud expression, Crassus was really angry.

"Do you know how much I paid for this matter? What about the descendants of slaves? Little Cato is also a descendant of slaves, and he is also highly respected by people. What's more, her father is Li Wei!"

"Now I can still have some influence in Rome, but what about twenty years later? At that time, Li Wei's influence will far exceed mine! I'm doing this for your own good!"

Crassus said angrily.

"I don't need you to be nice to me."

Publius said.

"Okay, it seems that I spoiled you so much before that I didn't even listen to what I said."

Crassus was really furious.

After speaking, he was going to hit Publius with something, but was stopped by Cornelia.

"Crasu, he is still young and not very sensible, let me talk to him."

Cornelia said.

"Okay, now I'm going to the Senate to attend the meeting. But let me tell you, you have to do this matter, and you have to do it if you don't. If you can't do it well, I will give all my property to Tibi I won't leave you a penny."

Crassus said bitterly.

Hearing this, Publius couldn't help being surprised. He looked at his younger brother who was eating next to him.

Tiberius still didn't understand what this meant, so he gave him a happy smile.

How can this be?

Crassus was able to have a huge influence thanks to his property. Without those properties, his future would be over.

Thinking of this, Publius' face became cloudy and uncertain.

Inside the Vatican, Li Wei looked majestically at the teenagers in front of him.

These two little boys and four little girls, the two little boys are Pompey and Publius Crassus, and the four little girls are their nieces.

"Hello, Uncle."

Several teenagers said respectfully.

"Um."

Li Wei snorted coldly from his nostrils and said.

At this time, his complexion was quite unfriendly. It was too shameful to fall in love at such a young age.
