Roman Slave Owner

After Pompeo left, Emilia walked in with a child.

"Has Pompeo gone? Did he talk about Musia."

Seeing the blazing gossip fire in Emilia's eyes, Li Wei looked helpless.

Regarding this kind of thing, not only men are interested, but women are even more interested. He has seen Emilia and the others discussing it with joy more than once.

"Yes, by the way, these days if you want to go out and bring more manpower, I'm afraid Metelus and the others will jump the wall in a hurry and seek revenge from you."

Li Wei said.

"Ok."

Emilia said.

Pompeo's reaction did not exceed Li Wei's expectations, he really proposed to divorce Musia.

It is said that the Metluth family is very dissatisfied, but it is a pity that they can only endure this important juncture.

In the Vatican, Levy's confidants are discussing the upcoming citizens' assembly.

"Only one of the three justices is ours, and the other two are theirs. In addition to the fortune-telling officers, they are also theirs. They will definitely use divination to prevent the normal convening of the citizens' assembly. If we mobilize a lot of us People who are likely to waste money."

Cicero said.

"Don't worry about the fortune-teller's problem, I will deal with it."

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "The key is the two justices."

"Judge Aquilinus is from a down-and-out nobleman. He owes a lot of debts. I think we can start from that."

Mackian said that he has become more obese over the years, and his whole person has developed horizontally.

It looks chubby and joyous.

"Who owns his debt?"

Li Wei asked.

"In the hands of several lenders in Rome, including Crassou. I think we can buy part of his debts and use this to threaten him. If he doesn't listen to us, we will make his debts public and drive him away. Out of the Senate."

Mackian said.

"But many veterans owe debts. If we do this is to break the unspoken rules, we will be opposed by the veterans collectively."

Cicero said.

Ma Jian did not answer, but looked at Li Wei quietly. After all, Li Wei had to make up his mind.

Li Wei thought for a while and said: "Just do what Mackian did, and acquire all the debts except for Krassus. Remember to keep it secret and don't attract the attention of Mettrus and the others."

"Ok."

Mackian said with a smile.

In fact, he had already acquired part of Aquilinus' debts. Since Brutim's rise, he has put more and more pressure on himself.

So Mackian finally took the initiative, and he decided to do it beautifully.

"As for the other Justice Claudius Marcherus, he is a very conservative nobleman, a typical nobleman. He despises all foreigners and is a strong supporter of Metellus. It is very difficult to persuade him. "

Cicero continued.

Li Wei couldn't help but frowned. Marcherus was a very powerful family of Claudius and played a very important role even in the last years of the Republic.

"His family is very rich and hardly has any shortcomings. He also has a few lovers, but it is difficult for us to threaten him with this kind of thing."

Mackian said helplessly.

"Cicero, you go talk to him and see if you can win him over, such as supporting him and his son as consuls, justices, and the conditions can be more generous."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Well then."

Cicero said.

"For this civic assembly, our original plan remains unchanged. I will secretly increase the Crusaders from the two legions to come over. They will dress up as ordinary people and try not to attract attention. In addition, another 3,000 tenants will be transferred to attract people. Their eyes."

Li Wei said.

Since the Spartacus Rebellion, he has only reduced the crusaders of one legion, mainly to prepare for the expedition after serving as the governor, so that the crusaders he gathered in Rome are close to 3 legions.

Coupled with a legion stationed in the Vatican, basically as long as the citizens' assembly can be held, he will win.

"Well then."

Everyone said one after another.

While Li Wei and the others were discussing how to deal with Mettrus, there was also a very secret conversation in the Mettrus family manor.

"Master, they said, Li Wei has not been able to come out in his castle recently. They can't find a chance to assassinate. They hope you can find a way to transfer Li Wei out of the castle, and only then will there be a chance of assassination."

A slave said to Scipio Metellus.

This slave was very young, about the same age as Scipio, and was his personal slave.

"I see, I will find a way. Let them find out Li Wei's route to the Hosteria Synagogue, and I will inform them the day before the Senate's meeting."

Scipio thought for a while and said.

"Yes, master."

He left here after speaking.

After he left, Scipio's face became distorted.

Mettrus is a coward, he said the assassination of Li Wei.

But it didn't take long for him to regret it, saying that the assassination plan had to be postponed, otherwise his suspicion would be too great.

How could Scipio tolerate this kind of thing? He wanted Mettrus and Li Wei to fight, and only in this way could he avenge his family's destruction.

Thinking of this, he left here to find a relative in his own family.

There were countless marriages between the Scipio family, and although the Scipio family fell, their family influence was still there.

In the guest room of a hotel, Mackian showed a warm smile on his face and stood up to welcome Aquilinus' arrival.

"Dear Justice Aquilinus, I'm so happy that you are here."

Aquilinus was tall and thin, with gray eyes, and wearing a well-fitting Toga. His eyes were full of disgust when he looked at Macian, which made Macian a little dissatisfied.

"Mackian, can you tell me why my debt is in your hands?"

Achillinus said in a sharp tone.

"The reason I think you are very clear. Archon Li Wei wants you to support him. He doesn't need you to do too much, as long as you declare the signs of good fortune on the day of the citizens' assembly.

Mackian couldn't help frowning and said, this is such an arrogant fellow.

"This is impossible. This is disrespect to the gods. I will tell the truth about the celestial phenomenon that day."

Achillinus said unceremoniously.

Mackian sneered and told the truth about the sky. Is he a fool?

"If you refuse, I will disclose your debt. I think you should understand the consequences."

Mackian said unceremoniously.

"At least 80% of the elders owe debts. You are fighting the entire Senate."

Achillinus couldn't help but furiously said, this **** vampire dared to threaten himself.

"What about being an enemy? I will drive you out of the Senate first."

Mackian said disdainfully.

With Li Wei backing, he is not afraid of breaking the unspoken rules.

"you……"

Achillinus was so angry that he was speechless, what should he do?

He kept thinking, and soon his eyes lit up, and then he came up with an idea.

"Well then, I promise your terms."

"This is really great. I don't think you will regret your choice. I promise you that if you want to be a consul, the Patriarch will definitely support you."

Mackian laughed.

Achillinus sneered, if Li Wei said it would be the same.

But he did not intend to expose his big words, but said: "I hope to be able to carry out debt relief, you know that I am not well off recently."

"Of course there is no problem, not to mention debt relief, even if it is completely cancelled, it is fine.

Mackian said that he was not afraid that Aquilinus would not ask for it, but that he had no desires.

So he negotiated specific terms with Achilles, but what he didn't notice was that a trace of deep contempt flashed through Achillinus' eyes.

As the morning sun rises, the sun dyes the sky a golden tint.

Many shops in Rome have not yet opened. In the attic directly above a shop, Relius is talking to a few people.

These people are Romans and Spaniards.

Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, there was a suffocation in their expressions, and they looked like warriors who had survived a hundred battles.

"Li Wei will come to the Senate meeting soon. You have seen his portrait. Remember we only have one chance. We will run away if we miss a hit."

Relius said to them.

"Got it."

Those people said one after another.

"Also, don't get caught."

Relius continued.

"Don't worry, even if we are caught, we will commit suicide and we will never be a boon."

Said a Spaniard.

"That's good."

Relius had a gentleness in his eyes. These people are true warriors, but today they are going on a dangerous mission. I don't know how many of them will survive.

Then everyone began to prepare. Four of them left here and walked to the opposite house.

They had already rented a few houses here as a cover, and as soon as Li Wei arrived, they would assassinate them.

Relius took a deep breath, and his four companions pulled out a box from under the bed, revealing the bows and arrows inside.

Relius took out a small porcelain bottle, and then they put their arrows into the porcelain bottle one after another.

When the arrow is taken out again, the arrow becomes black. This is a secret poison. Although it cannot be called a blood seal, as long as it hits, the target will never survive.

Soon the shop below opened up as usual, and they hid in their room, waiting for Li Wei's arrival.

It didn't take long for them to receive news that Li Wei was coming.

Li Wei was riding on a white horse and was talking to Cicero.

He was surrounded by 200 guards. Although the tension had passed, he still brought a large number of guards due to his guilty conscience.

"So Marcherus refused."

Li Wei said.

"Yes, no matter how generous my offer, he just won't agree."

Cicero said with a wry smile.

"He really is a stubborn guy."

Li Wei couldn't help but said.

Cicero smiled awkwardly, he didn't know what to do.

"By the way, Cicero, is your daughter engaged?"

Li Wei asked.

"No, what's the matter?"

Cicero said.

"What do you think of my son? Would you like to let them get along?"

Li Wei said.

Cicero looked shocked. He felt as if he was hit by a falling golden pie. How could Li Wei have this idea.

"Of course...no problem, just why would you like her?"

Cicero said quickly, of course he is very happy to be married to Li Wei, the benefits of which are beyond mention.

"I think Tulia is a nice person."

Li Wei said.

Of course, this is not the case. This is still because of Pompeo's wife's derailment, and the feeling of cuckold is very bad.

He didn't want his son to be cuckold, so he wanted to date him a good wife.

Cicero's daughter was married very early in history, and her life was unfortunate.

Not only did she die early, her husband had an affair, but she had never heard of Tulia's unfaithful husband.

He didn't want to see Tulia embarking on the unfortunate path of her previous life, so he didn't mind helping her, it was a help to his son.

Cicero was overjoyed with Li Wei's Tiyi Cicero. He and Li Wei eagerly discussed how to create opportunities for their children.

Relius stood by the attic window and watched all this quietly, getting closer and closer.

Then they made a gesture to their companions across the street~www.readwn.com~ They bent their bows and arrows almost at the same time, and then aimed at Li Wei below.

Relius had already started to leave the room and headed downstairs.

Li Wei didn't know anything about this, but a guard behind him discovered it and let out a violent shout.

"Be careful!"

Before Li Wei could react, he was thrown off the horse by the guard, and then slammed his head on the ground, followed by the sound of arrows shooting into his flesh.

"Tortoise shell formation! Tortoise shell formation! The hundredth team protects the general! The 200th team pursues the enemy!"

A squadron leader shouted.

One by one shields protected the top of Li Wei impermeably, and arrows were shot on the shields, but they were all blocked by the shields.

Cicero looked at all of this with horror. Fortunately, the enemy's target was not himself, otherwise he would be dead.

He quickly got off the horse and hid in a shop next to him.

At this time, a large number of guards had already rushed into the residence where the assassins were located, and then fought with some assassins who couldn't escape.

The other guards dragged Li Wei into a shop, still surrounding him with shields.

At this time, a lot of blood flowed from Li Wei's head, and his head hit the ground and broke.

Li Wei looked at all this angrily.

Bastard! Someone dared to assassinate him! This is simply unforgivable.

At this time, he glanced at the soldier who was protecting him, and the blood flowing from him had turned black.

This made him scared for a while, but fortunately he escaped the catastrophe.

Before long, a centurion came to report.

"Report to the Patriarch that we killed 4 assassins. We had captured two alive, but all of the two assassins committed suicide."

"Did anyone run away?"

"There seem to be... two."
