Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 139 Pompey’s Suffering

...Okay then.

It was just a little haggling, and a deal was settled.

Li Wei also heaved a sigh of relief, the things he had been worrying about were finally let go.

You sure like what Valens said, you like money very much.

Sura said with a smile.

Li Wei was taken aback, and then burst out laughing, such a misunderstanding is actually unresolved.

It's good to love money. I'm afraid those dictators dislike moral gentlemen or saints the most. On the contrary, they are extremely tolerant of people who are greedy for money.

By the way, I said before that I would give you 20 million dinars, and now it's time to cash in. Do you want money or real estate?

Sura asked.

Li Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is his biggest income so far.

He just thought about it for a while and said: I want to cultivate land, the best price is now.

If all the land is cultivated, I'm afraid there won't be that much.

Sura said with some headaches.

20 million dinars is a huge amount of wealth, but the current land price is frighteningly cheap.

He also planned to distribute the cultivated land to the soldiers who followed him in the war, not all to Li Wei.

I will give you arable land worth 5 million dinars, no more.

Sura thought for a while and said.

Okay then, let's exchange everything else for money.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, with this money, he just took the opportunity to sweep the goods. Whether it is buying real estate in Rome or others, it is a business that is sure to make a profit.

no problem.

Sura said with a smile, these are all paid by the state, and he doesn't have to pay a single cent.

The big things were agreed upon, and the two of them drank freely. The guests and friends enjoyed themselves for a while, and the tense atmosphere just now eased down.

By the way, Li Wei, you are not engaged yet.

Sura said a little drunkenly.

no, what happened?

Li Wei said, maybe there is another matchmaker.

Metela and her ex-husband have a daughter named Emilia who is as beautiful as a flower. I wonder if you would like to marry her.

Sura said.

Li Wei's complexion changed slightly. Didn't Sulla force Pompey to marry this woman in history?

Why did you fall in love with yourself again?

I remember she seemed to be married and pregnant with a child.

Levi said.

That's right, actually it's nothing. I can divorce her. I hope to become in-laws with you.

Sura said with a hint of drunkenness.

I'm sorry, I have no intention of marrying a divorced and pregnant woman.

Li Wei said very dissatisfied.

Although the Roman didn't mind divorced women, he still didn't like this kind of thing very much.

Really, forget it.

Sura said.

The reason why he forced Pompey to marry Emilia was mainly because Pompey's father-in-law was from the populist faction, and he did this just to sever the relationship between Pompey and the populist faction.

On the contrary, Li Wei didn't marry a commoner as his wife, and he couldn't force him. He really wanted to be in-laws with Li Wei.

The last banquet broke up a bit. When Li Wei left, there was a scream not far from the side, and Li Wei found out that it was a few soldiers who were interrogating the prisoners.

At the same time, there were people waiting for Su La to be summoned. They were carrying a bag with a lot of blood on it, which seemed to be a human head.

Why didn't anyone kill the only husband?

At this time, a childish voice came from the front.

Son, they hate him and are more afraid of him.

A middle-aged man said to a child.

Then why don't you give me a sword so I can stab him and free the city from slavery.

said the child.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly covered the child's mouth, signaling not to speak.

Seeing Li Wei looking at them, the middle-aged man quickly said with a smile, Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji.

What's his name?

Li Wei asked curiously, this little guy is so bold, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person in his clothes.

this……

The middle-aged man didn't want to say his name.

At this moment, the child broke his hand away.

My name is Cato, Marcus (Marcus). Borcius (also translated as Polchius, Borchius). Cato, the grandson of Cato the Inspector.

The child spoke in a childish voice, but with a determination on his face.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, my little ancestor, are you afraid that others will not know that you did this?

It turned out to be the moral gentleman who traded his wife for the other's daughter.

Li Wei gave the other party a 666 likes in his heart, little guy, you have a future, I am very optimistic about you.

For the sake of being part of the Bosius family, I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said just now. Remember my name, Lucius Bosius Livi.

Li Wei said with a smile, and left here after speaking.

It turned out to be him. I didn't expect that we would meet him here.

said the middle-aged man.

The great philosopher?

yes.

The recent Rome is too depressing, and Li Wei decided to leave Rome after Sulla's triumph and the ceremony of the dictator for life.

A little bored, he wandered around, only to find that Pompey's face was very ugly recently. Could it be that he really became a receiver?

So he found an opportunity to go to Pompey's villa on Mount Sirio, and found that Pompey was very drunk.

And what he drank was his own brandy, which was very good and worthy of praise.

Li Wei, do you think I'm timid and incompetent?

After seeing Li Wei, Pompey grabbed him and complained.

What happened?

Li Wei deliberately looked ignorant.

I am divorced.

Pompeo said in a low tone.

Ugh……

Li Wei sighed for a long time, the man is really miserable.

Sura asked me to marry Emilia, I dare not refuse.

Brother, I understand how you feel...

Li Wei patted him on the shoulder lightly.

I heard that Sura also made this request to you, but you refused?

Pompeo asked.

Yes, I don't like women I've never met.

Li Wei spread his hands and said.

You are better than me.

Pompey said, and then poured himself a drink.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Li Wei could still see his anger and unwillingness.

No wonder he supported Lepidus who opposed Sura afterwards, probably for this reason, I believe that few men can bear this kind of humiliation.

Seeing that Pompey was drinking badly, Li Wei asked his slave to come and take care of him, and then left.

In order to serve as a dictator for life and fight against the populists, Sulla did many things that chilled his subordinates.

But what does it matter to him, and Sulla did not always serve as dictator, but only reformed Rome's political system.

He worked hard to attack the political base of the populists, such as weakening the voting rights of free slaves, weakening the power of the tribunes of the populace, and repealing the decree that sold wheat to the populace at a low price.
