Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 87 Rumors

In addition, the intelligence team also undertakes tasks such as assassination, spying on intelligence, and inciting mass disturbances.

Li Wei provides 20,000 dinars to the intelligence team every month. With sufficient funds, the power of the intelligence team has expanded rapidly. Now it has more than 200 core members and nearly 1,000 peripheral personnel. The most daunting force in Capua.

However, Li Wei doesn't like assassination. What he likes is to deal with the enemy in an upright way, just like dealing with the administrator of Capua and the admiral of Campania.

He wants to deal with his enemies openly and aboveboard, and use his upright and incomparable momentum to give the enemy a strong shock.

"I see."

Morris said lazily, and then drained the wine in his glass.

What others don't know is that he is troubled in his heart.

Just when he left yesterday, Li Wei told him his plan to seek refuge with Sura, and asked him to carry out various deployments in Capua City according to this plan.

He was a little puzzled by this, why did he seek refuge with Sura?

Sulla's situation does not seem to be dominant, and its military strength is completely inferior to that of Rome.

Even though his commanding ability is excellent, Rome is not weak. The consul Scipio is a descendant of the God of War family, and he does not believe that Scipio is not his opponent.

The young man looked at the wine in his glass with envy. It was a good thing that could sell for 50 dinars a bottle. All he could do was twitch his nose and smell the aroma of the wine in the air. .

"Should we do it again tomorrow, so that Nobanus' hands will be stained with blood. It is too much to dare to deprive the Patriarch of his military power."

Markian, the curly-haired young man, said.

"What are you thinking, we are Capuan people, don't do this unless it is absolutely necessary."

Morris patted his head and said.

Today's young people are really, always like to go on crooked paths, and like to plot tricks at every turn.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, if you do something bad, it will leak out one day.

The more Morris thought about the words of the owner, the more reasonable he felt.

"It's okay to make trouble, but try not to bleed."

Morris said.

"knew."

"In addition, send people to spread the news that the Consul will sell grain at a low price tomorrow, and there is no limit to the sale. If you want to buy it, go to the Consul's mansion as soon as possible, and remember that the surrounding villages should not let go."

Morris said with a smirk.

Marcian looked at Morris with a shocked face. It was a very vicious strategy, with two mouths and one mouth, to force the consul to a corner. Those people knew about it and didn't surround the consul's mansion to death.

"I see, team leader, don't worry."

Markian said with a look of awe.

Nobanus sent the nobles and knights away with a gloomy face. He did not expect that he would beg for food from them as a consul, and they could push it off for three days, which made him very angry.

How does this make him fulfill his promise to the citizens of Capua.

"Someone must have colluded, otherwise their caliber would not be so consistent."

Brutus said.

"That's right, Li Wei is the only one who can do this in Capua."

Rustis said.

The head of Nobanus was even more angry. This damned scum, scum, did not stop even after he left, and kept making trouble for him.

"If we buy food from a nearby city, when can it be delivered?"

Nobanus asked.

"It will take three days at the earliest. Although we can buy some from nearby villages, it is not enough to meet the needs of Capua's 100,000 people."

Rustis said.

Do you want to sell the food of the army to the people?

no,

The army's food is only enough for a few days, and it's okay for the people to run out of food. If the army runs out of food, it will collapse that day.

It never occurred to Nobanus that he would be stumped by food.

"Buy food from the surrounding villages first, as much as you can get."

Nobanus felt his brain hurt, "Also, quickly send someone to negotiate with Li Wei, and try to trick him over."

He decided to take Li Wei down even if he took a little risk.

The next morning, Nobanus was awakened by a soldier before he woke up.

"What happened, so wake me up."

Nobanus said dissatisfiedly, he glanced out of the window, it is still not bright yet.

"It's not good, there are people everywhere outside, a lot of people."

The soldier said with a look of horror.

"Could it be because of food again?"

"yes."

"What the hell is going on with the Capuans? They blocked this place before dawn. Didn't they say that they will be resolved today?"

Nobanus felt that they were making a fuss over a molehill.

The soldier thought for a while, and finally restrained himself from telling the truth.

Nobanus went to the balcony again, just as he was on the balcony, his legs and feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

Looking from the balcony, the distance is dark and there are people everywhere.

How many people are there? How could there be ten thousand!

And it's not yet dawn, and when it's dawn, I'm afraid there will be more people.

Seeing the consul coming, the people below the mansion cheered loudly.

"Long live the Consul!"

"Long live Nobanus!"

"Long live Rome!"

"..."

Hearing the bursts of cheers, Nobanus' heart warmed. He felt that the people of Capua were still very kind and friendly. At least he had never enjoyed such a huge cheer in Rome.

He greeted the people very kindly, and showed what he thought was the most charming smile.

His actions caused even louder cheers below, but the soldiers next to him couldn't help covering their faces, I hope you can still smile next.

"Dear Consul, when will the food be sold at a low price, is it really unlimited?"

Hearing this, Nobanus' face slowly froze.

What the hell is cheap food? And unlimited? How could he not know about such a thing.

Give him a dozen if you have one.

"Yeah, I heard that there is a cheap food here, so I set off immediately, and I didn't even sleep."

"Me too. The current food price is really too expensive. If I had known before, the food would not be sold."

"Hurry up and start selling grain, we've been waiting all night, and we can't wait any longer."

"..."

Nobanus' face became more and more stiff, and the greeting hand slowly stopped.

Are you sure you are not joking, when did I say that grain is sold at a low price, and there is no limit.

I'm just saying to help you solve this problem.

Are you misunderstanding something?

"Everyone..."

Nobanus managed to force a smile, but what followed was a huge cheer.

"Long live the Consul!"

"Long live Nobanus!"

"..."

Life is so embarrassing, how do you let me speak.

I don't know if I deny it now, will I be scolded to death?

Nobanus maintained an awkward smile, waved his hand and slowly stepped back into the room.

Ignoring the cheers outside, Nobanus roared angrily: "What the hell is going on? Why do some people say that grain is sold at a low price?"
