Roman Slave Owner

Hearing this, Menenia felt a pity for the poor man.

Africa is indeed in a mess now, and it is not surprising to encounter robbers.

Li Wei asked her about the situation here, and found that it was located near the city of Utica. Unexpectedly, she turned around and returned to the city of Utica.

Soon he learned of their relationship with the Scipio family, which made him feel lucky, but luckily he lied.

Under the care of Menenia, Li Wei recovered quickly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk in a short time.

During this period, Menenia changed his dressing from time to time, which made him very grateful.

In a garden, Li Wei was lying on a deck chair, quietly admiring the beautiful scene.

At this time, North Africa is not full of deserts like later generations. The two things that the Carthaginians are best at besides commerce are agriculture, and their agricultural technology is very developed.

The food produced can not only be self-sufficient, but also have the ability to export.

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Dad, why are you so happy today?

Of course it's a good thing. Our family is saved. Metellus has adopted Scipio's grandson as his adoptive grandson, and Metellus' eldest son Keleur has come to Africa, and he will stand for us so that we will not suffer to unfair treatment.

Really? That's really nice.

The Metellus family is a wealthy family in Rome, and they have countless marriages with various wealthy families in Rome, and they are under Su La's subordinates. Even Li Wei has to be cautious.

The voice said triumphantly.

So we don't have to go back to Rome?

That's right, there's no need to go back for the time being. Rome is in a mess right now, so it's better not to go back.

The girl regretted for a while, but she missed Rome very much.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from beside him.

Who are you? How are you here?

His father pointed to a young man lying on a deck chair.

The young man glanced at him lazily, Hello, my name is Gliuss, and it was your daughter who saved me.

The somewhat rich middle-aged man glanced at his daughter.

The girl glanced at him. Although she hadn't seen him for a few days, she could still roughly recognize him.

Yes, I did save a person a while ago.

Daughter, let me tell you, it's very chaotic outside now, don't go to rescue people casually, maybe you will save one of Dumigios' followers sometime.

Seeing that Li Wei was not an assassin, the middle-aged man immediately became lively.

Li Wei was speechless for a while, it seems that your backer Scipio is the accomplice of Dumigios.

Father was about to die at the time, and he would have died if he hadn't been rescued.

The girl said pitifully.

Then you have to ask him about his background, boy, what do you do?

Camillus asked sharply.

I am a poor Roman merchant. I met robbers on the way, and my money and goods were all robbed.

Li Wei said very pitifully.

So now you can't repay my daughter for saving her life.

This... seems to be it.

Li Wei found out that he is penniless now, and is it really good to repay the kindness?

How many days have you lived here? How much food did you eat? How much medicine did you spend on me?

The middle-aged man said with a shrewd look.

Li Wei was speechless, did he meet Grandet?

Dad, don't do this.

The girl anxiously pulled her father's arm and said.

Daughter, don't worry about this matter. Kid, my daughter saved your life, you eat mine, drink mine and take mine, shouldn't you repay me?

The middle-aged man continued.

Li Wei nodded helplessly, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Look at him nodding himself.

The middle-aged man said to the girl, the girl covered her eyes in shame, it was really embarrassing.

Then what will you do?

I can read and do arithmetic.

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Will it be recorded?

This should be possible. I have read a lot of ledgers.

Li Wei said that he often checks the family's account book, but he has never actually operated it.

Yes, what else do you want?

The middle-aged man said with a smile, those who can read and count these days are talents.

I was also a soldier.

What position?

If you tell the truth, you have commanded six legions and thousands of cavalry, and you don't know if you will be killed. This possibility is very high.

I was a soldier.

Li Wei said helplessly.

A worthless guy.

The middle-aged man said with contempt.

Li Wei touched his nose with a wry smile, and was actually despised.

Remember to report to the guards tomorrow, and you must also go if the accountant needs help.

Actually, I can write an IOU, up to ten days, and I will pay back ten times.

Levi said.

Ten days? After ten days, I'm afraid you'll run away without a trace. Don't do this with me. I don't know how many ways like yours to avoid debts in my life. To tell you the truth, I was Over taxpayers.

The middle-aged fat man said very disdainfully.

Li Wei was sweating profusely, this man is really...

The middle-aged fat man threatened and lured him again, and finally Li Wei reluctantly agreed, and he left triumphantly. Of course, no salary was mentioned at all.

It seems that Li Wei didn't ask him for it, and he planned to rely on it.

I'm very sorry, my dad is like this, it makes you laugh.

The bright girl said with an apologetic face.

It's nothing, I don't care.

Li Wei said, this is nothing compared to the grace of saving lives.

If there is nothing wrong with your injury, then go now.

Emilia said.

Actually... Actually, it's not necessary. Are you going to Utica in a while?

Levi asked.

That's right.

The bright girl said.

When the time comes, you can take me with you.

Levi said.

He was really afraid of meeting Wufa, even if he did, maybe he could use these people to deal with it.

No problem, do you have relatives in Utica?

The girl was Emilia and said.

Why do you say that?

Otherwise, why would you say that you will pay back ten times within ten days?

Hahaha... yes, there are relatives.

Li Wei said quickly.

At the same time, I complained in my heart, and sure enough a lie needs to be covered with more lies.

What do your relatives do?

...

Two days later Camillus went to Utica with his daughter and a bodyguard, where it was said that the son of Metellus had arrived.

When they came outside the city of Utica, they found that a large number of soldiers were carefully checking.

what happened?

Emilia asked.

It is said that two soldiers hijacked one of Li Wei's distinguished guests and stole his gold ring. If you want me to say that he deserves it, he actually went to Li Wei's place as a guest.

Menenia said.
