Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 228 Key Persons

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Luculus rushed in.

Seeing Lukulusi's unfriendly expression, Li Wei waved the soldiers who were following him to retreat, and then asked, What's the matter?

I heard that you refused to disband the army and asked to encircle and suppress pirates?

Luculus asked.

Yes, the pirates have not been suppressed. Of course I can't disband the army. And all the pirates who invaded escaped. They must invade Rome to pay the price.

Li Wei said calmly.

Even if we want to encircle and suppress pirates, we can't do this. We should abide by the laws of Rome. We should let the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly decide who will encircle and suppress pirates.

Luculus said.

Hahaha! Hahaha!

Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help laughing, and then said loudly: Luculus, when Sulla was declared a public enemy of Rome by the Senate, why didn't you abide by the Roman laws? Why didn't you abide by the resolution of the Senate? Did Sulla abide by the law when he marched into Rome and drove Marius out? Now you're talking to me about his shitty laws!

Because I listened to Sura's words, I reduced my guards to 3,000 people. As a result, Dragon City was almost captured by a group of pirates. I have to spend hundreds of thousands of dinars every year to feed those orphans and widows. consequences of the law.

Those pirates are still at large, but you let me sit and watch others go to encircle them. Let me tell you, this is impossible! I will participate in this encirclement and suppression of pirates!

Lukulus was a little surprised when he saw Li Wei who was losing his composure. This was the first time he had seen Li Wei like this. No matter how difficult he encountered in normal times, Li Wei would be a little angry at most.

After the 10th, will you disband the army?

Won't!

Then what are you going to do?

March into Rome!

Hearing this, Luculus was dizzy for a while, why did he want to march into Rome again.

You must not do this? You will plunge Rome into civil war again.

Luculus said angrily.

All of this was forced by the Senate. Don't blame me for everything.

Levi said.

As long as you disband the army, all this will pass.

This is absolutely impossible!

Seeing Li Wei's extremely determined eyes, Luculus knew that he would never change his mind.

Is there no other way?

Luculus asked.

Hearing this, Li Wei's heart moved, In fact, there is another person who can change everything.

who?

Crassus, where is he?

The Senate can naturally overturn their own resolutions, as long as they unite with Crassus, they can reach more than half of the Senate.

Luculus quickly understood Li Wei's thoughts, he thought for a while and said, He went back to Rome two days ago.

This cunning fellow.

Li Wei couldn't help laughing and cursing, don't ask, he must have got some news,

So even the deputy general quit, and planned to be neutral from the outside.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Do you need me to help you convince him?

Luculus asked.

Are you going to help me?

Li Wei looked at him in surprise.

Yes, you, Pompey, and Crassus are all generals in the Sura family. I hope we can maintain unity.

Luculus said sincerely.

Li Wei smiled, how can there be such a naive person in politics, and Lucullus is probably showing his favor, no matter what he thinks, this is always a good thing.

Okay then, please.

***

Oh, it's going to war again, what's going on here.

After returning to Rome, seeing the atmosphere of war in Rome, even Crassus couldn't help feeling sad.

Once upon a time, the great Rome became like this, on the verge of civil war at every turn.

Father, I heard that many elders made speeches in the square, calling on the citizens to support Li Wei, and some called on the citizens to oppose them, and they even quarreled.

At this time his son Publius Crassus said.

This is a handsome young lady who looks only about ten years old.

I see.

Crassus said.

Then what should we do?

asked Publius.

Don't worry about them, just take care of our affairs.

Crassus patted his head and said, We'd better not get involved in this matter.

Publius looked at him suspiciously, and Crassus sighed.

This matter is really too dangerous, if it doesn't work out, he will die and his family will be wiped out, so he should stay neutral from the outside.

Although many people think that Rome has a high chance of winning, he doesn't think so.

Li Wei and Pompey are not easy to deal with. If they are underestimated, Rome will suffer a lot.

By the way, has the housing price dropped again recently?

Crassus said.

Yes, some more.

Publius said.

We should buy some. A few days ago, I heard that Li Wei bought a lot of real estate at a low price. It's a bloody profit. I'm not as good as him in fighting. How can I not be as good as him in making money?

Crassus said.

No one can figure out how much Li Wei earns a year, but people know that it will never be less than 20 million dinars.

This is a crazy number, almost equivalent to Crassus's entire family property, and Kesula felt that he needed to work harder.

At this moment, a slave came over.

Master, Elder Serabio please see me.

I didn't expect him to come so soon, let him in.

Crassus said.

Father, do you need me to avoid it?

Publius said.

No, you just watch from the sidelines.

Crassus said.

Not long after, Serapio walked in laughing.
