Roman Slave Owner

woo woo woo woo……

A low-pitched horn sounded from behind the carriage, which made Guta wonder, do they still have reinforcements?

At this time, there was another roar in the carriage, but it was suppressed by the sound of horns and fighting.

A number of guards and soldiers fell down. Although Li Wei's number was small, his strength was extremely strong, and he maintained a tight formation, so he did not fall into a disadvantage for a while.

It's rubbish.

Guta couldn't help cursing, it seems that these soldiers are really slack, if they knew about it, they would have drilled them hard.

At this moment, the carriage door opened, and an elderly figure appeared at the door.

Stop it all, I'm Appius Claudius Pulkel, the former consul and elder of the Roman Senate.

Seeing this figure, some soldiers were stunned. Why are the elders of the Roman Senate inside?

Guta was also taken aback, how could this be?

More and more soldiers stopped, and the prestige of the Roman Senate resounded all over the world, and they did not dare to fight in front of the elders.

What exactly is going on?

Guta said suspiciously.

At this time, another elder stepped down from the carriage and looked at the ancient tower with angry eyes.

That is Elder Maximo, why are there so many people hidden in the carriage?

And he seemed to have sent someone to pretend to be Maximo's guard just now!

Guta, you are so brave. You dared to openly murder Knight Levi and Priest Regulus. If I hadn't been here, I'm afraid you would have succeeded.

Pulker yelled.

No... I got the news that Li Wei hijacked Priest Regulus, and I came here to rescue him.

Guta said quickly.

Rescue, you clearly know that Regulus is in the carriage, but you still order the soldiers to throw javelins at the carriage. Is this your rescue method?

Maximo said angrily.

Thinking about how dangerous it was just now, if it wasn't for the iron sheet on the outside of the carriage, at least he would have been injured this time.

I have to say that Li Wei's carriage is of such good quality that he even wants to get one.

me……

Guta was so questioned by Pulkel that he was speechless.

Regulus was also very angry. Guta's murderous intent could be seen even by a soldier, let alone him, which made all the guilt in his heart disappear.

Priest Regulus, come and tell him, have you been kidnapped by Li Wei?

Pulker asked.

No, two respected elders, I was with you just now, can't you see if I have been kidnapped?

Regulus said.

Admiral Guta, what else do you have to say?

Pulker asked.

Guta felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell to the ground.

It's over! It's almost over this time!

At this time, a lot of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and a lot of horseshoes approached quickly.

Not long after, hundreds of cavalry came here and surrounded Guta and his men.

Until this time, Li Wei was completely relieved.

Looking at the cavalry who arrived quickly, the speed is too fast.

Could it be... This is a trap!

Guta finally fell to the ground.

The news that Guta led troops to attack Li Wei and the two veterans' convoy spread completely, and the whole Capua was shocked. This is really audacious.

Saiyanus' mansion did not know how many porcelains were broken.

Thousands of Roman citizens gathered outside the estate of Patriarch Maximo.

The bodies of the guards who died yesterday were displayed in front of the manor, and the angry people shouted slogans,

Ask the consul to severely punish the admiral of Guta.

Standing quietly on a balcony, looking at the crowd outside the manor, Capo couldn't help shaking his head.

This ancient pagoda can really cause trouble for him, but what should he do?

Consul Capo, Elder Maximo and I personally experienced what happened yesterday from beginning to end. Guta's crimes are very obvious. He intended to kill Li Wei and Regulus, and caused the death of fifteen Roman citizens. This crime is simply appalling and he must be severely punished.

Purker said.

Looking at the righteous Pulker, Capo felt a headache.

He protected Li Wei from the beginning to the end, and his position speaks for itself.

I see.

Capo said perfunctorily.

And after days of investigation, we found no signs of collusion between Li Wei and Su La. I think the case can be closed.

Pulker continued, The conclusion that an underage knight colluded with Sulla is simply too absurd.

Capo didn't speak, and he also felt that Pulker had a point.

But he doesn't like Li Wei's rebelliousness. He hopes to keep pressure on Li Wei and let Li Wei let Saiyanus go. This is his promise to Qin Na.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Those Roman citizens handed over a chest to the guards, who carried it into the manor.

What is this?

Capo looked at the box and said.

This is the blood book of more than 20,000 Capua citizens. They were extremely angry at Admiral Guta's reckless behavior. They jointly requested the consul and the Senate to impose capital punishment on Capua.

said a guard.

Blood book?

Capo looked shocked.

It might cause ridicule for things like the blood book that were played badly in later generations, but it is definitely a new thing now.

Capo opened the box and found that there were sheets of papyrus inside.

On the papyrus is an individual's signature and handprint, all signed in blood.

Looking at the bloody papyrus, Capo's hands trembled slightly.

What a powerful method, this is not only forcing Guta, but also forcing him.

If he continues to shield Guta and the news spreads, some people will accuse him of violating the will of the people in the future.

Pulkel was also surprised, this guy Li Wei actually played this trick, it's really amazing.

This is the will of the people of Capua and I think it's time to make a decision.

Purker said.

The will of the people of Capua?

There was a hint of sarcasm on Capo's face, I'm afraid it's his will.

Does it make any difference?

Purker said meaningfully.

Capo was silent. Facing the pressure of the two consuls, Li Wei was desperately resisting and not letting Saiyanus go, which made him very dissatisfied with Li Wei.

At this moment, a guard hurried over.

Report to the Consul and Elder Pulkel, just now the Consul of Guta made a confession. He admitted that he tried to kill Li Wei several times because of his greed for Li Wei's wealth.

said the guard.

What did you say? Is it true?

Capo looked shocked.

Pulker's eyes lit up, and it was done.

Yes, he is explaining everything, all the elders invite you to go over.

said the guard.

Let's go.

Capo said.

When they came to an interrogation room, the dejected Guta was explaining how he and Saiyanus conspired with Li Wei's property.
