Roman Slave Owner

Take your people to the Maximo Manor and tell Elder Morkel that Yulia is my woman, not an ordinary slave. Take care to protect her safety.

Levi said.

As ordered.

The centurion said quickly.

After the centurion left, Li Wei asked about their situation.

Lebiris and Annius told their situation in detail.

After arriving at the manor, they were quarantined.

Then I was questioned by Capo and several elders. I asked a lot of questions, and they were very detailed, and I made records.

By the way, there is one more thing. Capo said that he hopes you will go to him tomorrow and accept the investigation by him and the Committee of Ten.

Liberias said.

I see.

Li Wei said helplessly, is it finally his turn?

****

****

The busy city of Capua was bustling, and Regulus sat on his shoulders with a slightly sad expression on his face.

Sensitive, he felt the calm before the storm since it was announced that there was an ominous sign and that the Senduria Congress had to be postponed.

First, his knight relatives scolded him and wanted to sever ties with him.

In the past two days, he visited several Capua Senate elders, hoping to get their understanding and support, but without exception, he was rejected.

No one wants to offend Li Wei at this juncture of life and death, they can already imagine the scene of Li Wei's rage.

This made Regulus feel chills. Now Capua is like the eye of the storm, and others can't hide, but he plunges into the eye of the storm.

At this moment, several guards in armor appeared in front of him, blocking his shoulders.

Who are you? Why are you blocking my way.

Regulus said with a cold face.

Dear fortune teller, our Patriarch wants to see you.

said a guard.

Who is your master?

Regulus said.

Levy.

said the guard.

Regulus' expression changed, and he said after a while of silence: I'm very humble, I have something urgent, let's talk about it next time.

I suggest that you better go and meet, otherwise someone will go to the Senate to sue you tomorrow. Our Patriarch knows all about the dirty things you have done.

The guard said with a threatening face.

Regulus couldn't help being furious. He didn't expect that this ordinary guard would dare to threaten him, but in the end he suppressed his anger rationally.

Alright then, lead the way.

The guard sneered and led them into an alley.

There are a large number of guards in the alley, and the entire alley cannot stand.

When the guards saw them, they took the initiative to give way and let them pass.

go in.

The guard led him to a tavern and said.

Regulus opened the door and walked in, and found that it was a very ordinary tavern.

There were not many people inside, only Li Wei and two female slaves were sitting at a table.

It's finally time for you, dear Diviner Regulus, please sit down. We have enough time to discuss, and no one will disturb us. I have reserved this tavern for a whole day.

Li Wei said with a smile.

In his previous life, he only dared to think about such a local tyrant in his dreams, but today he really did it, but he didn't feel any excitement.

He could buy a hundred of these taverns at any time if he wanted to.

I'm sorry for the bad omen, but I assure you it's true, it's the omen of the gods.

Regulus said with a straight face.

Li Wei looked at him with weird eyes,

Then he said, Do you think I'm an idiot?

Regulus was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Can you tell me what gave you the confidence to dare to prevent the opening of the Senduria Conference?

Levi asked.

Actually, I have always maintained goodwill towards you, and none of this is what I meant.

Regulus said.

It's hard for you to convince me of your kindness. Tell me why?

Levi stared into his eyes and asked.

me……

Regulus was speechless for a long time.

It seems that you are still lucky. As far as I know, several of your properties are suspected of tax evasion.

Li Wei flipped through the papers in front of him and said.

These are all slanders.

Regulus said calmly.

If it was just these threats, Regulus would not be afraid at all.

Those nobles have done a lot of things like this, and it's no big deal even if they are exposed.

And you have illicit relations with several senators and wives of knights in Capua, including senator Torcatus, senator Corus, senator Centumalus, Lurianus The senator, and the wives and daughters of several wealthy knights. I have to say Regulus the augur, you are a charming man.

Li Wei said with admiration.

A drop of cold sweat broke out from Regulus' forehead. These elders are powerful figures in Capua.

If these things were exposed, it would probably cause their displeasure, which would be extremely detrimental to his official career.

You have no proof.

Regulus said in a panic.

As long as you are willing to investigate these things, there will definitely be.

Levi said.

Regulus was silent for a while. For this kind of stealing between nobles, it is necessary to distract the maids under his hands. Just ask about the itinerary of the two parties, and it is easy to match up.

And this kind of thing does not necessarily require evidence, as long as there is suspicion, they are likely to divorce.

Just like Caesar divorced his wife immediately after being cuckolded, the reason is only that the wives of the Caesar family should not be suspected.

In the past three years, you and your son have faced a total of 8 lawsuits, among which the property of the partners was embezzled, and the most important one is...

A devilish smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

Although Regulus held on, there was still a hint of despair in his eyes.

You were accused of sexually assaulting a young girl. A noble fortune teller would rape a young girl. That day was Goddess Bona's Day. You are blasphemy, and this is a capital offense.

Levi said.

The so-called Bona Goddess is the god of fertility, so only women can participate in the Bona Goddess Festival, and men must leave their homes on that day.

Fake! Absolutely fake! It wasn't Goddess Bona's day, and I gave her money, it was just a deal. I won the lawsuit, and she gave up the appeal.

Regulus said sharply.

But that's not what I got. Two of my patrons are her relatives, and three are her friends. They all ask me to be her master, which makes me very embarrassed. You know, a patron must To provide legal aid to his followers, I sometimes think, Is it necessary for me to call a citizens' assembly for you to have a public trial on these matters.

Li Wei said with a smile.
