Roman Slave Owner

The Romans attached great importance to funerals, and they would hold up ancestor masks or statues during funerals, but there is one very special statue today, that is the statue of Marius.

Since Marius was declared an enemy of Rome and his ashes were dug up and scattered in the Tiber, the presence of his statue here is extremely sensitive.

Many citizens along the way saw the strange expression of the statue, and according to the Roman tradition, they joined the mourning team one after another, and the size of the whole team became bigger and bigger.

How did they get the statue of Marius out? Whose idea was that?

Serabio said with a headache.

Who else but Caesar?

Li Wei said with a smile.

The emperor was really ruthless sometimes. Marius killed his two uncles, but because Marius was extremely popular among the people, Caesar wanted to inherit his political legacy and used Marius to gain momentum for himself more than once in front of others. It can only be said that he is naturally ambitious.

But he also knew how to measure, and he didn't mention Mario a word from the beginning to the end, just like there was no statue in the procession.

He is really messing around, but the Senate is probably going to be nervous again.

Serapio said dissatisfied.

The Senate doesn't have the mood to pay attention to this anymore, they are having a headache for Spartacus.

Levi said.

Recently, the Senate has been holding meetings to discuss this matter. Apart from despising Senas, many people also regard the extermination of Spartacus as a sweet potato. They have been arguing about this, and until now, no results have been discussed.

What the hell did Sainas do? So many people lost to a group of slaves.

Up to now, Serabio still can't believe the result of this battle. Those are two battalions of Roman soldiers.

He's really careless.

Levi said.

Many of us want to conquer Spartacus, what do you think?

Don't go, let them fight, don't underestimate Spartacus.

Why? He's just a slave?

Serapio said suspiciously.

But Li Wei had already seen through his plan. He knew that Serapio was moved. He always wanted to make contributions. Foreign troops could not beat him or a group of slaves?

You'd better stay in Rome honestly, ordinary people are no match for Spartacus at all.

Levi said.

Serapio looked disbelieving, but he didn't argue.

By the way, Spartacus offered to exchange Sarah for prisoners, did you agree?

Serabio said.

A while ago, Spartacus sent a prisoner to Dragon City to speak and made this request.

It can be discussed, but it needs to be delayed.

Why?

Li Wei's face is straight, and it can't be said that Rome will always lose.

It's not worth changing so few captives now, if you want to change, just change a little more.

Caesar, how can you get out the statue of Marius,

Don't you know he's the Enemy of Rome?

At this time, a knight on the side of the road accused angrily.

Caesar gave him a cold look and continued to walk forward.

In a strange atmosphere, the whole team came to the Civic Square.

Since Marius' descendants were all dead, Caesar, the aunt's closest male descendant, made the speech.

Dear citizens of Rome, consul Serabio, and general Livy, thank you for coming to my aunt's funeral. My aunt came from a very ancient family, the Caesars, whose paternal line goes back to Egypt. Neas is even the goddess Venus, so she is a descendant of Venus...

Facing the crowd in the square, Caesar began to talk eloquently.

At this time, he was personable, handsome and unrestrained except for his hairline receding a bit.

It attracted everyone's praise, it is really extraordinary, and the Caesar family has another outstanding descendant.

Among the crowd, a man wearing a hood was slowly moving towards Li Wei, but was stopped by some guards not far from him.

Seeing a guard with a bad face, he took out a small note and said softly, Please give it to Li Wei.

After speaking, he turned around and left here, the guard looked confused.

He glanced at the small note, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly found Li Wei.

What's this?

Li Wei took the small note in his hand and said.

Just now someone asked me to hand it over to you.

said the guard.

Li Wei opened it for a look, and his face changed slightly after reading it.

What's wrong?

Serapio asked.

Li Wei thought about it, tore off the name part, and handed it to him.

After reading it, Serapio was also taken aback.

They actually want to sue Lebiris. No, their real goal is you.

Serapio saw through their real purpose at a glance.

It finally came. After Scipio defeated Hannibal, he was prosecuted by two civilian officials. After Pompey returned from the East, he was also suppressed by the Senate. suppression.

Who said that the West has no masters with high achievements, who are jealous of the virtuous and capable?

It's all bullshit!

Li Wei knew that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

You're right.

Who sent this message?

Secret.

Levi said.

He didn't expect Priscia to remind him such important news, and it seemed that he had to repay him.

Call Geta, Lebiris, Marcian, and Cicero over later. Let's have a meeting, and you will go too.

Levi said.

Serapio nodded, he knew it was indeed a big deal.

In Li Wei's villa on the Palatine Hill, Geta, Cicero, Lebiris and others gathered together. After they heard the news, they talked a lot, thinking that their real target was Li Wei.

Liberius was ashamed and annoyed, accepting bribes was something that every governor did, so why sue him alone.

Okay, everyone, be quiet. Whatever Lebiris did, I approved it. I know all about these things.

Levi said.

Everyone fell silent, and Lebiris glanced at Li Wei gratefully. What he was most afraid of was the kind of boss who would throw the blame when something bad happened, and it was obvious that Li Wei was not that kind of person.

Metellus and the others are very smart. They just stared at accepting Galacia's bribes and did not expand the scope of attack. This made it easier for many seniors to accept. And since they launched an attack, they must have made sufficient preparations. This year's Governor of Asia is theirs. people, I think they must have found a lot of evidence.

Li Wei said with a sullen face, But you don't have to worry, we will do our best to intercede for you.

I... I see.

Lebiris said with a bitter face that he wasn't too worried.

I just didn't expect that he, who used to be a military judge, would sue for accepting bribes. If the veterans knew about it, they didn't know how to arrange him.

Cicero, will you be the lawyer of Lebiris?

Levi asked.

no problem.

Cicero said.

I'll leave this matter to you. Besides, we can't wait for them to attack Lysiris wantonly. They broke the rules by doing so. We must fight back! Resolutely fight back!

I also have their black materials in my hand. Since they have torn their faces, don't blame us for being rude.

Li Wei pointed to some documents on the desk and said that since Appius Pulkel told them that they were dealing with him, Li Wei ordered Marcian to collect their handles, and indeed he collected a lot.

Geita, take a look. If they sue Lebiris, then we will attack Keller and Napos. At that time, I need you to sue them to the judge, and you will be a lawyer, Cicero.

Livy gave some materials to Geta and Cicero.

Cicero's face was a bit unnatural. He had always admired the nobles like Metellus, but he didn't expect to end up on the opposite side of them.

OK.

Geta glanced at the material and said.

In addition, I will contact people from Crassus and Pompeo, hoping that they can support us in this matter.

Levi said.

After some deployment, everyone also knew their tasks.

At this moment, Lucias hurried in, with panic on his usually calm face.

Patriarch, I don't know who spread the news of your alliance with Crassus and Pompey.

Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help being shocked.

What did you say?

The matter of their alliance has been kept secret, but in fact there are quite a few people who know about it.

Metellus is definitely one of them. As the leader of the noble party and Pompey's father-in-law, he has too many news channels.

And the timing of this news was too subtle, could it be aimed at him?

Thinking of this, his face immediately darkened.

I don't know when, the news of Li Wei's alliance with Pompey and Crassus spread, and it spread all over Rome.

They controlled a large number of senators, and through these senators they manipulated the senate and controlled the whole of Rome.

As soon as the news came out, Rome was in an uproar.

A large number of elders made impassioned speeches every day in the Civic Square, condemning this behavior, thinking that this behavior had endangered the interests of Rome, and Li Wei was very troubled by this.

One day, the sun was shining brightly, and there was laughter and laughter in Li Wei's villa because Emilia was pregnant.

This made Emilia's high-hanging heart finally relieved, and Li Wei also felt very fortunate that he didn't need to take medicine anymore.

Sarah, you did a good job. You don't have to pay attention to the rumors outside. Even if Spartacus rebelled, it has nothing to do with you.

Emilia said to Sara.

Thank you madam for your concern.

Sarah said with a smile, and then glanced at Li Wei.

Probably only Emilia dared to say this kind of thing. If it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would not be able to bear this huge pressure.

Li Wei, if my stomach is a boy, what do you think his name should be?

Emilia's face was full of maternal radiance.

How about calling Gaius? Gaius Levi.

Levi said.

Emilia gave him a dissatisfied look, Gaius is like Tom and Jack in America, he is so ordinary.

Shout out to Gaius in Rome, and there will definitely be a lot of people who turn back.

I think it's good to be called Appius, many nobles use this name.

Emilia said.

All right then.

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

The selection range of Roman names is too narrow, and they are those few over and over again.

At this moment, a guard walked in.

Report to the Patriarch, the envoy of the Senate is asking to see you.

Let him in.

Levi said.

What's going on at this time? Could it be the case of prosecuting Lebiris?

Impossible, at least on the surface, this matter has nothing to do with him, so it is probably a matter of forming an alliance.

Obey, Patriarch.

Soon a strange elder walked in. There were too many elders in the senate, even he couldn't recognize him.

Hello, respected Li Wei, please go to the Senate if there is something to do.

The elder said very respectfully.

Do you know what it is?

Levi asked.

Sidigus filed a complaint with the Senate, saying that your alliance with Pompey and Crassus endangered the interests of Rome, and the Senate decided to question you and Crassus.

The elder said.

Senate inquiry?

There was a weird smile on Li Wei's face, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Is Crassus there too?

Yes, Crassus is being questioned by the Senate, and he has acknowledged the existence of the alliance.

The elder said.

Levi...

Emilia gave him a worried look.

Don't worry, nothing will happen. Do you think someone in Rome can touch me? Be careful not to fluctuate too much, it will affect the child.

Li Wei said softly.

Emilia nodded, then watched Li Wei leave here with a worried expression.

Outside the Temple of Jupiter, some people were watching the excitement outside the temple. After seeing Li Wei, they quickly gave way.

They cheered and expressed their support for Levi, who waved to them.

Be careful, maybe this is a conspiracy.

Geta, who was guarding the passage, said in a low voice.

Li Wei nodded and walked in.

Today's senate meeting was held very suddenly, and there was no sign of his questioning.

If he hadn't been prepared, he might have been confused.

Li Wei glanced around, and there were more than 400 elders gathered in the whole temple, which looked like a dark place.

Crassus was being questioned by the Senate. Facing the inquiries of the elders, he didn't have any fear and looked calm.

At this time, he found a person, it was the old Metellus with white beard and hair.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and the wrinkles on his face have become deeper. With a snub nose and tiger eyes, and neat silver hair, he looks very energetic.

He also saw Li Wei and nodded with a smile.

Crassus, you are sure that your alliance has done no harm to the interests of Rome.

Said an elder.

This...probably not.

At this time, Crassus also saw Li Wei, rolled his eyes and said, his expression seemed a little flustered.

That is to say, you think that your alliance may cause harm to the interests of Rome.

The elder was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

Li Wei almost sneered, Crassus, how could you say such conscientious words, there is something tricky in them.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Crassus suspiciously.
