Roman Slave Owner

"The first constituency ruled that the elder Metellus was guilty of maliciously using the emergency law to kill the civilian tribune Saturnin and announced his death sentence."

"The second constituency ruled that the elder Metellus was guilty of maliciously using the emergency law to kill the civilian tribune Saturnin and announced his death sentence."

"The third constituency ruled that the elder Metellus was not guilty of maliciously using the emergency law to kill the civilian tribune Saturnin and acquitted him."

"..."

One result after another came out, Metellus finally closed his eyes in despair.

"Now I formally announce the vote. Twenty-eight constituencies acquit him of the death penalty and seven acquittals. In the name of the Lord Justice, I formally declare the elder Metellus guilty of the death penalty and sentence him to be crucified, Do it immediately."

Tuskus said solemnly.

"This is so funny, what kind of judgment is this! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!! I am the chief priest! I am the chief elder! You can't treat me like this!"

Metellus laughed crazily, and tears flowed gradually with a smile.

At this moment, several executioners rushed up, dragged Metellus to the side of the cross, held him down, and hammered the nail down with a hammer.

"ah!"

Metellus let out a scream.

Many people couldn't help closing their eyes, even Pompey was no exception.

Although he wasn't afraid of these things, the person on the cross was his former father-in-law.

"Li Wei...I tell you, you will not end well...the gods will curse you."

Metellus said with a wry smile.

Although it was not the first time he saw a prisoner being crucified, he was still greatly shocked.

He knew that he couldn't lose, otherwise this might be his end.

In fear and despair, Metellus completely lost his life.

There was not much joy on Li Wei's face, but he said loudly: "The next case is the case of Keller, Napos and Scipio Metellus suspected of hiring people to assassinate Consul Li Wei."

In the Vatican, the rising sun turned the clouds in the distant sky into red.

In a warm room, Li Wei leaned on the bed and hugged Emilia, quietly doing bad things with his big hands until Emilia woke up.

"What are you doing? Hate."

Emilia tried to free his hand, but couldn't.

"I'm thinking about our future."

Levi said.

It has been 10 days since the trial of the Metellus family. Under the trial of the Citizens' Assembly, the family has all obeyed the law and received due sanctions.

Citizens' meetings were held non-stop for the next few days because of the many problems accumulated in the previous months.

Cases were tried one after another, and 20 financial officers were selected. Li Wei became the big winner among them, and 10 of them were his retainers.

This made Li Wei seriously consider whether he would do this frequently in the future, so that the Senate would soon be full of his own people.

In addition, all his proposals were passed, and the Citizens Assembly officially authorized him to become the governor of the three provinces for a term of 5 years, allowing him to increase the strength of 10 legions to expedition against Germania and other barbarians, and allocated a total of 100 million dinars.

He had fully achieved his purpose, but the deaths of the Metellus family had touched him deeply.

Since Marius and Sulla started the era of great purges, political struggles in Rome have become more and more cruel, and the fate of the losers is often very miserable.

He is about to leave Rome for 5 years, but he is very worried that someone is doing things behind his back, so he decided to calm down some possible hidden dangers.

"After I leave Rome, everything here will be handed over to you."

Li Wei said, while gently stroking her indescribable parts with his hands.

"Is it true that all the armies, senators and tenants are delivered to me?"

Emilia said with joy, she knew how much power this was,

You can call the wind and rain in Rome.

"If you don't give it to you, who will you give it to?"

Li Wei sighed and said, "But Yulia is the number two person besides you, and little Li Wei is the number three person. If Yulia, Sibel and Monimie oppose you together, your order will be invalid. "

Hearing this, Emilia pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Hate, I don't want to work with them."

"Snapped!"

Levi slapped her butt lightly.

"Be good, don't make trouble. Big things may happen in the past five years, and I will try my best to help you deal with them, or you may die."

Levi said.

"What's going on here? Is it the oracle of the true god?"

Emilia asked quickly.

"Very blurry, I can't see clearly."

Li Wei sighed and said, "We must try our best to keep the peace in Rome. If we find any sign of chaos, we must suppress it as soon as possible. If you lose the battle, you should find a way to escape to me with your life. Remember that life is the most important thing. Dragon City has no It doesn't matter, but without you, I would be alone."

Emilia was frightened by him, she stammered and said, "What will happen... Is it so serious?"

"Someone might want to make a mess."

Levi said.

"Can you not go?"

Emilia hugged his neck and said.

It is not necessary for a consul to take office after serving as the governor. For example, Pompey did not take office after he became the governor. He also lent his soldiers to his father-in-law, Julius Caesar.

Li Wei was a little hesitant, whether he should give up his ambitions and live in Rome for a few years, and wait until the Holy Church grows stronger before making contributions.

But thinking of the resolution of the Citizens' Assembly calmed these thoughts, and it would be a pity if he gave up so much effort to get to this point.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to help you solve this problem."

Levi said.

"Who will make trouble?"

Emilia asked.

"Catiline, and perhaps Crassus."

Li Wei said that he didn't know what the Catiline Rebellion would look like after being instigated by his little wings.

But if he is their own enemy, they will definitely make full use of the chaos of Catiline, and then deal the biggest blow to themselves.

"Then what should we do?"

Emilia exclaimed that she hadn't expected Crassus to be involved.

Although Crassus is not as good as Li Wei, he is also a very powerful figure in the Senate.

"I'll find a way to get rid of them in advance, and I'll leave you with two more. These two are wizards who lead troops. Although they can't be trusted for the time being, they can be used."

Levi said.

"who?"

"Caesar and Publius Ventidius."

"Caesar, I know, you said before that he is very powerful. Who is that Ventidius?"

Emilia asked.

She felt that Li Wei was too unreliable, and only gave it to some disloyal people. As for Ventidius, she had never heard of it.

"He will be a very powerful general in the future. I will introduce him to you in a few days."

Levi said.

Publius Ventidius was not a simple character. He was the only person in the era of the Republic who defeated the Parthian army head-on.

After Parthia defeated Crassus, she was extremely arrogant and sent a large army to attack Rome. As a result, she suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Ventidius, and she was definitely a famous general in Rome.

"All right then."

Emilia said.

Now she doesn't feel that the power Li Wei gave her is so good, but instead feels that it is a heavy responsibility.

After eating, Li Wei suddenly learned that two inspectors asked to see him.

After thinking about it, Li Weilue knew their purpose, so he ordered someone to bring the inspector here.

Soon two inspectors came in, both of them were about 50 years old.

An obese man with a Mediterranean haircut is none other than Inspector Gerius.

The other was thin, with a shrewd and cunning look in his eyes from time to time. He was another inspector, Liantulus.

"Consul Li Wei, we strongly protest your ten-member committee. You are exceeding your authority and have seriously violated our rights. It is the right of the censor to inspect the property of the elders, and there is no need for a ten-member committee. .”

As soon as he entered Li Wei's room, Gerius said angrily.

"You two, please calm down and sit down to talk."

Li Wei said with a smile.

A while ago, the two were so frightened that they disappeared, but they finally ran back now.

The two glanced at each other, then sat down.

Li Wei ordered the slaves to serve them some wine, but they were all angry and refused.

Li Wei waved his hand to let those slaves go down, and the next words were not suitable for others to hear.

"I know this is the right of the two, but don't the two find that a large number of senators are burdened with a large number of debts, which is against the law of Rome?"

Levi said.

"Li Wei, don't play tricks. Who doesn't know about this, but there are too many senators who are in debt. Most of the senators have a lot of debts. Do we want to drive them all out of the Senate?"

Gerius said dissatisfied.

"That's why I didn't sue both for negligence."

Li Wei said lightly.

"you……"

Gerius stood up angrily, Li Wei was such a jerk, he really drove them out, and they became old enemies.

"I know that it is difficult for the two of you to make up your mind to drive those indebted senators out of the senate. How about entrusting this difficult job to me. In order to take care of you, I have put your names on the list of ten people."

Levi said.

"Li Wei, do you know that they decided to reconvene the Senate meeting to reject your ten-member committee?"

Liantuslus said.

"I know, so I have decided to hand over this matter to the citizens' assembly, and the ten-member committee will be authorized by the citizens' power to remove those incompetent elders."

Levi said.

The two inspectors looked at him speechlessly, and they really called a citizens' meeting every now and then.

Since the revision of the divination method, no one seems to be able to stop Li Wei from doing anything wrong.

"What do you two think? As long as you cooperate with my work, I can provide you with generous rewards."

In fact, Li Wei can completely get rid of them and do it alone, but he knows that it is not an option to always offend people like this, he should compromise if he can, and do PY transactions if he can.

"What can you give us in return?"

Liantulus asked with a flash of light in his eyes.

"The two seem to be able to become consuls again soon, and I can provide them with full support."

Levi said.

"make a deal."

Liantulus said very decisively.

Li Wei glanced at him appreciatively, he was indeed a man of current affairs.

"I... that's fine, but you can't fire our friend."

Gerius thought for a while and said.

He knew that there was no way he could stop Levi, who was in charge of the Citizens' Assembly, so he went downhill.

"No problem, then we have a happy cooperation."

Li Wei stretched out his hand.

"Pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant cooperation."

***

After getting the consent of the two inspectors, Li Wei immediately announced the news very happily, and the Senate was in chaos.

Especially those veterans who owed a lot of debts, while cursing Li Wei, while crossing the sea, each showed their magical powers and tried their best to get through this hurdle.

In a hotel, Geta and some friends were drinking, at this moment, Catiline walked over angrily.

"Geta, why did you disqualify me as a veteran? I offended you somewhere."

Catiline said angrily.

After seeing the person coming, Geta was not angry, but said with a smile: "It turned out to be Catiline, you misunderstood, and you have nothing to offend us. We are just doing business, sending some seniors who have a lot of debts Just get out."

"You nonsense? I don't have any debts. You are lying."

Catiline said excitedly.

"No debt? Shall I show you the IOU? Just a month ago, you borrowed 50,000 dinars from a knight. 3 months ago, you borrowed 80,000 dinars from Denis .8 months ago..."

Geta said disdainfully, and then spoke out his debts one by one.

With the help of the intelligence team, he is very clear about these things. You must know that Catiline is their key monitoring target.

Catiline blushed with anger, he didn't expect Geta and the others to know their debts so well.

He was born in a down-and-out aristocrat, and he finally climbed to a high position, so how could he be willing to lose his position as a veteran.

"It's not that I owe debts alone, so many elders owe debts, why don't you drive them all out of the Senate."

Catiline argued.

"We are doing it. In addition, I welcome you to provide all kinds of evidence. As long as there is evidence, I promise to drive them all out of the Senate."

Gaita said.

"Are you sure you really want to do this? You are making an enemy of me!"

Catiline said angrily.

"No, you got it wrong. I have no intention of being your enemy. We just act according to the law."

Gaita said.

I don't know why, but he likes to imitate Li Wei's tone more and more. He always talks about doing things according to the law, which sounds very forceful.

If it had been someone else, he might have thought about it and asked if he would go over to his side, but Catiline let it go.

He was named by Li Wei alone, and he must be kicked out of the Senate.

"I hope you don't regret it."

Catiline said bitterly.

"If you want revenge, please feel free."

Geta spread his hands and said.

He is not afraid of Catiline, even Metellus was killed by them, Catiline is nothing.
