Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 39: The Senate of Capua

The two cavalry sent by Li Wei looked a bit ugly, but they were not easy to urge.

Seeing how this old man is about to die at any moment, it's really rare to be able to come.

But fortunately, it is not far from the Senate, they have found a large crowd gathered outside the Senate, there are at least 3,000 people.

Among them were a large number of young men with swords, as well as some old men and women, who chanted slogans of severely punishing the robbers.

Who are these people?

asked old Tullius.

It's our family's guards and some righteous citizens. They should have known about this, so they came to support.

said one of the cavalrymen.

Tullius and his son Qiqi rolled their eyes, bullshit righteous citizens are either relatives of the guards, or people who spend money to invite them to make a big impact.

In fact, he guessed right. Li Wei knew that some of the newly recruited untrained guards were useless, so he directly asked them to go directly to the Capua Senate from other manors to put pressure on the Senate.

At the same time, it also allows them to contact their family members, relatives and friends, which is also an opportunity to earn extra money. Li Wei gave each person a high commission of 5 dinars a day.

Give way, and let the respected elder Tullius go in.

exclaimed one of the cavalrymen.

The Roman citizens and their relatives and friends immediately made a way for Tullius and his son to enter.

Dear elders, you must severely punish the evil Guta and Saiyanus.

Severely punish corrupt officials!

Punish the robbers severely!

...

The citizens shouted loudly.

I see, and I, Tullius, will do justice.

The old Tullius made a promise to everyone while lamenting the strength of Li Wei's power.

Casually gathered 3,000 people to besiege the Senate, and it would be fine in the future.

At that time, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will be able to be mobilized casually. Thinking of this, old Tullius gasped, the young man is formidable.

A group of slaves carried old Tullius inside, and his son helped him up the steps.

After entering the Senate, the inside has long been turned into a vegetable market, and there are excited noises everywhere.

It's outrageous. Guta dared to mobilize an army to attack a noble knight in Capua and openly snatch the sugar formula. Is there any reason for this?

At this time, a tall elder with a white beard spoke impassionedly.

There was a humming sound from below, and old Tullius sat down with difficulty in his seat.

Little Tullius gave him a longing look, and left the place.

This is not a place for him to stay. The old Tullius knew the meaning of his look. The price Li Wei gave was too attractive, so little Tullius couldn't help being tempted.

Hey, old friend, why are you here?

At this time, a middle-aged man with light gray eyes and gray hair came over and said.

It was his friend, Capua Senator and ex-administrator Clausus.

Such a big thing happened, can I not come?

said old Tullius.

Let me guess, maybe Li Wei promised you something.

Clausus said with a smile.

That's right, didn't he promise you benefits?

said old Tullius.

He said, if I help him this time, then I will win his friendship. If I want to go to Rome to compete for civil tribune, treasurer, builder, or priest, high priest, he will help me once.

Clausus said.

He had no intention of hiding it, he had a very good relationship with old Tullius, and such behind-the-scenes transactions were very common in Rome.

Old Tullius was silent for a while,

Said: He gave me similar conditions, except that he added a Capua administrator or owed me a favor, and he could give it to my son.

What did you decide to do?

Clausus asked.

Old Tullius laughed at himself, what can he do? His body is already failing, and he can only place his hope on the next generation.

When he was young, he was very ambitious. He once traveled to Rome to study, hoping to let the family break out of Capua, become a member of many powerful people in Rome, and bring the family to a new peak.

It's a pity that the water in Rome is too deep and the competition is too fierce. It didn't take long for him to return to Capua in despair, and then develop in Capua with peace of mind.

But now Li Wei gave him a chance. Li Wei's strength is very strong, stronger than the combined strength of all the elders present here.

It is even stronger than 98% of the rich and powerful in Rome. This is completely powerful enough to overwhelm and crush everything.

Just like what Li Wei said, one force will drop ten meetings.

If it weren't for Li Wei's unstable foundation, Saiyanus and Guta would both kneel down and call grandpa.

As long as Li Wei is willing to go to Rome, he will become the honored guest of almost every dignitary, and no one wants to offend such a terrifying power faction like him.

Just like Scipio, as long as there is even a trace of political ambition, no powerful person will easily offend Li Wei.

In fact, old Tullius felt that Li Wei's operations were too rough. If he had as much money as Li Wei, he would be sure to raise 20,000 or even 30,000 Roman citizens to work for him.

At that time, not to mention the chief justice, even the consul will be in his pocket.

Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed in old Tullius' eyes, but soon the greed disappeared.

Guta and the others are indeed going too far.

Old Tullius said lightly.

You're right.

Clausus said with a smile.

The senators in the senate continued to argue, and it was too late to vote because the senators were not present.

Saiyanus was about to pass away, even if Qin Na stood behind him, it was useless.

After this incident, the ancient pagoda will peel off its skin even if it is not dead.

As people in the system, they all know how terrifying Li Wei's strength is.

Old Tullius and the others were still at ease, waiting for the elders to arrive.

At this moment, a guard rushed in in a panic.

A big deal has happened! Senators, a big deal has happened!

What happened?

someone asked.

Guta actually arrested Scipio and Nias elders.

said the guard.

Falling leaves could be heard in the Senate House, and then countless people gasped. Even old Tullius was stunned.

This is impossible!

How could he do that?

That's the elder of the Roman Senate!

...

Everyone broke out, and the elders of the Roman Senate shocked the entire Mediterranean.

When going to other countries, even the monarch has to be respectful and give a lot of wealth.

The envoys of other countries often only know the Senate, but they don't pay much attention to the consuls.

And the Senate has a big killer, that is, the Senate Final Judgment (also called the Emergency Law, the final advice), once this big killer is used, the Senate can order the consul to kill anyone without a trial .

Gaius Gracchus, who carried out reforms, and his followers died on this final verdict of the Senate.
