Roman Slave Owner

Sidigus, what do you mean? Do you look down on me? Don't I have the right to express my opinion fully.

Having received Li Wei's instruction, he was of course desperately procrastinating for time. At this time, he just took the opportunity to make a fuss and fully express his dissatisfaction.

I dare not speak swear words. If I speak swear words, I may be expelled from the Senate.

I just put the ugly words in front, and you can speak.

Sidious said with a sneer.

Belieus snorted coldly, and then began to speak.

But before he had spoken ten minutes, Sidiousus interrupted him.

Elder Belieus, how long are you going to speak?

This is not very clear, you have to let me finish. Why, is there something wrong with this?

Belieus said arrogantly.

Sidious looked at him viciously, I advise you not to delay.

What is delaying time, you are insulting me! You are depriving me of my right to be a senior!

Belieus said loudly.

Sidhigus didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, Guard, there is an elder here to disrupt order.

Hearing this, as soon as a few guards were about to come in, hundreds of elders stood up with a crash.

What do you mean, Sidhicus?

Why don't Belieus express his opinion?

Who do you think you are? How dare you be so overbearing?

...

Hundreds of elders quarreled, and the entire Senate immediately became like a vegetable market.

The complexions of Sidigus and Metellus became very ugly. I didn't expect Li Wei to have so many supporters.

Li Wei looked at them with a smile on his face, and wanted to fight me, how could it be so easy.

The guards also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Sidhigus glanced at Metellus, and Metellus nodded inconspicuously.

Sidious said loudly: Everyone, stop arguing! Stop arguing! Listen to me!

But those elders were about to take the opportunity to make trouble, so how could it be so easy to stop.

It took a lot of effort before he calmed down those elders.

I'm very humbled, Elder Belieus, you can speak now.

Said Sidious.

That's about the same.

Belieus said triumphantly, as if he had won a big victory.

So Belieus continued to speak, but he stopped after speaking for more than 20 minutes.

Next, every time it was the turn of Li Wei's veterans, they would desperately stall for time.

It was finally getting dark, but there were not even a hundred elders who spoke.

Dear elders, in view of time constraints, we must end this senate meeting, and we will continue today's topic tomorrow.

Sidious said with a blank face,

Then he left here first.

But you kept sneering in your heart, you really thought you could win, it was just a pointless struggle.

Seeing this, the elders got up and left one after another.

Some veterans even warmly greeted Li Wei, after all, Li Wei is a rare visitor here.

After expressing his apologies to those elders, Li Wei came to Crassus.

Crasu, we should talk.

All right.

Crassus said.

They found an unoccupied corner, and Serabio and several other elders guarded them to prevent others from coming.

Someone noticed this scene, and the pace of leaving slowed down.

Li Wei looked at Crassus quietly, making Crassus feel guilty for a while.

Crassus, can you help me with this?

Levi asked.

Crassus said with a look of embarrassment: Li Wei, I am very humble. You know that I just swore that I am a very devout person. I donate a lot of money to various temples every year, even you I have donated money to churches.

Li Wei took a deep look at him, Since this is the case, I must abide by my oath.

Hahaha, this is really great. I believe this small matter will not affect our friendship. How about I buy you a drink in a few days?

Crassus said with a laugh.

No, you know I'm going to be very busy these days.

Li Wei said with a smile on his face.

At first, he was a little sorry for planning to take away the honor that belonged to him, but now he has no guilt at all.

Understand, understand.

The two said a few words, and Crassus left here.

At this moment, Metellus came over.

Li Wei, it's been a long time.

Metellus said with a smile.

Yeah, we haven't had a good chat since you came back from Spain.

Li Wei smiled and said: I think we also went to the battlefield together back then, why did you do this? Do you need to fight me to the death?

Li Wei, I think you misunderstood me. The reason why I am like this is not what you imagined.

Metellus shook his head, I have read your Holy Scripture and carefully observed your holy religion. Your holy religion is really too extreme and does not give other religions any chance of survival.

If the Holy Cult grows stronger, it will destroy the current Rome, and people's way of life will change dramatically. As long as you are willing to change the teachings of the Holy Cult and integrate it into the Roman gods, I can apologize to you.

Li Wei looked at Metellus in shock, he never thought that Metellus dealt with him for this reason.

However, Metellus is a sensible person. Since the Catholicism unified Rome, Rome has entered the dark middle ages.

He didn't copy all of Catholicism, he made a lot of improvements to Catholicism, especially the part about science and technology.

He did plan to replace the polytheism of Rome with the Holy Church, and then become the first pope himself.

If that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about.

Li Wei said that the holy religion is a thousand-year meal ticket he planned for his descendants, and it must not end like this.

Metellus gave him a complicated look, Li Wei, you are the pride of Rome, why do you do this? Is Rome not good now?

I want to do the greatest cause in the history of mankind, and I want to eclipse Alexander in front of me.

Li Wei said with a smile.

Metellus looked at Li Wei in shock, he had never thought that Li Wei had such ambitions.

But thinking about Li Wei's status as the first person in Roman history, he does have the possibility of success.

Li Wei has his own plan. After becoming consul, he will go on an expedition to Germany and Britain. The Germans are very strong, but if he uses gunpowder, it will be easy to defeat the Germans.

Then expedition to Parthia and India to realize an Alexander-style expedition.

Coupled with the establishment of the Holy Cult, he really can't think of anyone whose achievements can match him even two thousand years later.

Really, your ideal is really admirable.

Metellus said, But what I want to say is that no matter what you do, you will lose this round.

Maybe I can't win this game, but I must have the last laugh.

Li Wei said with a smile.

That's not necessarily the case, let's wait and see.

Metellus said, and left here.

Looking at his leaving back, Li Wei shook his head.

How could Metellus understand the horror of the Holy Order? The Holy Order has taken root in Rome, and in the words of later generations, it has entered an irreversible stage.

Even if he died, it was only a matter of time before the Holy Church took over Rome.

But he didn't expect that the Roman Catholic Church would start to fight back so soon. It seemed that they were not as incompetent as he thought.

I knew it should be more wretched to develop for a while, but it's a bit late now.

Now that the two major religions are already in conflict, the only way is to go forward bravely and solve the Roman Catholicism as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Wei decided to start a plan that he had always buried in his heart.

It's time to sound the horn of the general attack!

What did you say?

At this time Serapio came over and said.

It's nothing, Metellus said that he dealt with me because of the holy religion.

Levi said.

Serapio looked surprised, and he didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Because of that oath, I will not intervene in this matter, you need to come forward the whole process.

Levi said.

no problem.

Serabio said.

Go to Menmuse and ask Pompey's people if they are willing to help us.

Levi said.

I'm afraid it's not easy. You know that Pompey is the son-in-law of Metellus.

Serabio said.

Do your best and obey the destiny.

Levi said.

Serapio nodded, and then went to find Menmus.

Back home, Emilia asked about the Senate meeting, but was appeased by Li Wei.

He called his own intelligence chief Ma Ji'an, who has been pampered all these years, and Ma Ji'an's figure has a tendency to develop horizontally, which makes Li Wei even more unhappy.

Markian told me why more than 100 elders owed me money during my expedition to the East. Three years have passed, and now only more than 100 elders owe me money. What are you doing during this time?

Looking at the roaring Levi, Ma Ji'an was in a cold sweat.

Knowing that his boss was very unhappy, he quickly explained: Patriarch, this is actually the case. I have already developed more than 200 elders. But I don't know why, many elders have paid off their debts during this period, so The number of talents plummeted.

How is this going?

I suspect that someone has paid back the money for them, most likely Metellus and the others.

Li Wei's frown deepened. It seems that Metellus and the others have planned for a long time.

Why didn't you report earlier?

I can't find a clue, and I don't even know who paid them back.

Makian said with a wry smile.

Forget it, be more careful next time.

Levi said.

It seems that as the local snakes of Rome, those nobles are still very energetic.

Patriarch, do you want to put some eyeliner in Metellus's house?

Seeing no one around, Makian whispered.

In the past, Li Wei had always strictly prohibited him from placing eyeliner in the homes of those nobles and elders. He knew that there was no impenetrable wall in the world. Once this thing was found out, it would cause public outrage, and even he couldn't afford it.

No, it's not necessary.

Li Wei said, Are you familiar with Catiline and the others?

The Senate still has forces that are independent of the Big Three and Metellus and others, and Catiline is one of them.

Catiline was able to rebel in later generations, naturally because a group of elders under him listened to him.

He still wanted to go to the Pulkel family, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. If there is no news for such a long time, he must be a traitor.

Very familiar, I often attend the banquets held by him. He is very generous, and many elders have a good relationship with him.

Markian said.

Li Wei sneered, boldness needs money to support it.

Now Catiline is able to be bold, because the money earned during the turmoil in Sulla and the governorship has not been spent.

Once the money is spent, he can only borrow on a large scale.

If you can't pay off the debt, huh, huh...

You contact him in your own name and ask him if he is willing to help Lebiris in this matter. As long as he is willing, I am very grateful.

Levi said.

OK.

With that said, Makian left here.

Looking at the empty palace, Li Wei felt a little depressed. He had a premonition that things would not go well.

If he were Metellus, he would have made a very careful plan before launching a swift attack. The development of the matter did not exceed his expectations.

Menmuse refused. He said that he could only remain neutral at best, and he could not take action against Pompey's father-in-law.

Serabio said.

I see.

Li Wei's eyebrows were wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

what should we do?

Serapio asked.

Li Wei didn't answer, and at this moment he was also a little confused, what should he do.

Not long after, Marcian also came back, and he also brought the news of Catiline's refusal. It seems that Metellus's plan is very thorough.

The hall fell into dead silence for a moment, but soon Li Wei's eyes ignited a high-spirited fighting spirit.

Since we have lost on this battlefield, we must find it in other battlefields. We must use all the resources in our hands to make Metellus pay for his actions, and we must make his two sons die of pain. , our goal is to have at least one of them exiled.

Levi said.

no problem.

Serabio said.

The two had been discussing for a long time before Serapio left in a hurry.

***

On a road outside Pompeii, two troops were fighting fiercely. Memius commanded a group of crusaders, desperately blocking the attack of a group of gladiators and slaves.

Since the Spartacus uprising, Li Wei sent the crusaders to Pompeii to protect his former subordinates.

Memius led his centurion on an escort mission, intending to send some villagers to Pompeii, but he was intercepted by some gladiators on the way.

After defeating Senas, Spartacus became famous, and a large number of slaves went to join him. His army strength has grown to more than 3,000, and his strength is far from what it used to be.

There were more than 500 people who came to rob this time. If some villagers hadn't joined Memius' centurion, they might have been defeated long ago.

But in the face of the gladiators who have an absolute advantage, their situation is still precarious.

Everyone work harder, they're going to die soon,

Kress shouted that he had seen the decline of these crusaders.
