Roman Slave Owner

Dear Elder Serabio, you and General Levi will not support Cota's motion.

Lamia asked nervously.

Serabio gave him a cold look, and said disdainfully, It depends on your performance.

Lamia's face was very ugly, and compared to Li Wei, Kota was even more hateful.

Li Wei just cut off their money once, but Kota wanted to smash their golden jobs completely.

Lamia managed to force a smile, As long as you can oppose Kota's proposal, our grievances will be resolved.

You are not qualified to have a grudge against General Li Wei.

Serapio snorted coldly and said, this is imminent, Lamia still can't recognize the situation, what an idiot.

Lamia was furious. Lamia was a prominent figure in Rome, but he did not expect to be so despised by Serapio.

Tell me who sent you to the Senate to sue Lebiris, and I promise not to let our people support Kota in the Citizens' Assembly.

Serabio said.

Are you seeking revenge on them?

Lamia looked around and found that many elders did not leave, but watched them from a distance, and quickly stopped planning to inform them.

Yes.

Serabio also discovered this.

That's impossible! If you want to fight us, do as you please.

Lamia said with a sneer, and left here after speaking.

You really don't know how to live or die, you think I won't know if you don't tell me, the people from Makian have been staring at you these days.

Seeing his leaving back, Serapio thought coldly.

At this moment, Hortensius came over.

Serabio, what happened today has nothing to do with me, I assure you that I was absolutely not involved in it.

Hortensius whispered.

I trust you.

Serapio glanced at him and said.

Forget about Asia, and I don't want any compensation. I hope that if one day I want to be a consul, Li Wei can support me.

said Hortensius.

I will pass on your words to General Levi.

Serabio said.

Hortensius nodded and left.

Soon, several veterans came over to tell Serabio that they were not involved in this matter, and they may not have invested much, and they did not want to be misunderstood by Li Wei.

Serapio trusts them on the surface, but in fact he only trusts Marcian's investigation.

The last one to leave the Senate was Consul Cotta, and Serabio walked over on his own initiative.

You didn't tell me you wanted to legislate against usury.

Serapio said with some dissatisfaction.

I'm humbled, but my term is coming to an end and I want to be able to make a difference. I don't want to just leave the consulship.

Kota said with a smile.

It's going to offend a lot of people.

Serabio said.

But I think it's worth it.

Kota said.

Seeing Cota with a firm face, Serabio was a little envious.

Kota knew what he was after. He wanted to pass the usury restriction bill named after him. Although this offended many nobles and knights, it also established a huge prestige for the Kota family among the people.

In this way, even without Li Wei's help, his younger brother can use this bill to become a consul, and the Kota family has even benefited from this bill for generations, making the Kota family's reputation even higher.

At this time, Serapio was extremely eager to become a consul. He also hoped to pass a bill named after himself like Cota, and he wanted to make the Serapio family proud of himself.

Will you help me?

Kota asked.

In fact, without my help, you will succeed, won't you?

Serapio said with a smile.

Kota smiled and left the place.

A banquet was being held at Serabio's house, and all the veterans of the Li Wei family gathered here.

Discuss how to deal with the next situation.

Senus hadn't left Rome yet, and was also invited to this party.

In addition, current officials such as Annius and Cicedo also participated in full.

Everyone, just now Ma Jian has introduced the forces that have been in frequent contact with Lamia recently. Two of them said that they were not involved, but I still can't trust them. I will ask them for confirmation next.

There are now three companies that are definitely involved, Serabio said.

Looking at these three, Serabio has a headache.

Because one family was the Claudius Pulker family, he had faintly heard about the relationship between Li Wei and Claudia that was beyond friendship.

Let's not talk about the Purkel family, let's talk about the other two first. One of them is Picasso, and the other is Villes.

Serabio decisively decided to cross out the Pulker family first and focus on dealing with the other two.

As for whether to deal with the Pulkel family, let Levi make up his mind.

Villes is a follower of the Metellus family, next year's magistrate, if we deal with Viles, will we have a full-scale conflict with the Metellus family?

Annius said.

So what if he is Metellus' servant? Since he dares to play tricks behind his back, he will have to bear the consequences.

Serabio said in a cold voice, Remember, we don't need to be afraid of the Metellus family, but the Metellus family should be afraid of us.

Hearing this, all the elders were extremely proud.

After years of continuous development of Li Wei, his strength far exceeds that of the Metellus family.

If it weren't for the fact that the Metellus family is a veteran nobleman with a wide network of connections among the nobles, Metellus would not be their opponent at all.

But Pompey is Metellus' son-in-law.

An elder reminded.

This made Serabio couldn't help frowning. He knew the alliance between Li Wei, Pompey, and Crassus, and he even participated in it himself.

The alliance of the Big Three is his most important reliance. Once Pompey is involved, things will be difficult.

Don't worry about this, I will communicate with Menmuse.

Serabio said, We have collected evidence of corruption when Villes was a treasurer. We just need to find someone to prosecute him. Cicero, will you be our defense attorney?

no problem.

Sitting on the side at this time, Cicero said without much sense of presence.

Serapio nodded, We not only want to deprive him of his position as a military officer, but also exile him, and let him know the consequences of daring to stab the owner in the back. As for Piso...

Bi Suo is Su La's lieutenant general, and has a good relationship with many veterans of Su La's faction, so he is by no means an easy character to deal with.

Annius, you draft a bill. Didn't Cotta want to call a citizens' assembly? You proposed a motion to impeach Picasso at the citizens' assembly on the grounds that he, as a senator, secretly intervened in Asiatic usury affairs, which violated Roman law. .These days I will mobilize all public opinion to prepare for the impeachment of Bishop.

Serabio said.
