Roman Slave Owner

"It's really useless, leaving a centurion team to continue chasing, and the others will go back with me with all the bodies."

Li Wei couldn't help cursing.

"Yes, Patriarch."

So Li Wei took these people and their bodies back. When Mackian and Brutim heard the news, they were terrified, and the intelligence team immediately started operating at high speed.

The whole Rome was a sensation, and someone dared to assassinate the Roman consul, it was simply bold.

The Senate sent an envoy to express their condolences and expressed their willingness to cooperate fully with Li Wei to find out the truth, but Li Wei did not comment.

Two days later, Makian reported to Li Wei with trepidation, "According to our full investigation in the past two days, two of these assassins were under the Roman nobles who were sentenced to exile by Sura that year, and the other three may be Spanish. There is another person whose identity is unknown. So their identity is very clear, and it is likely that Saiduo left the remnant."

"They can't assassinate Patriarch you for no reason. To say hatred, they hate Pompeo even more. Therefore, their motives are problematic. I guess they are instigated by the Roman dignitaries who have hatred with Patriarch you."

"We also carried out a key screening of the rich and powerful in Rome, and found that the most likely one was the Metluth family."

"why?"

Li Wei asked, he didn't think he would do such a stupid thing with Mettrus's IQ, after all, the suspicion was too great.

"Because Scipio Metellus' personal slave died. It is said that he was killed after stealing very valuable things from the house, the day before yesterday."

"After receiving this news, I conducted a intensive screening of the whereabouts of Scipio's personal slaves, and found that his whereabouts were very different from before."

Mackian said, "He has been to a small hotel in Subra district several times in the past half month. This small hotel is the property of a knight, but the knight used to be attached to an exiled nobleman who was sentenced by Sura. "

"We found some shop owners near the hotel and asked them to identify the bodies. They said they had indeed seen these people living in that hotel."

After speaking, Mackian respectfully waited for Li Wei's instructions.

"Scipio! Metellus!"

Li Wei was shocked. He didn't expect that they would be so bold and sent someone to kill him.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Send someone to arrest the owner of that hotel. Besides, you go and hand over the information to Metellus. I see how he explains it."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Mackian said.

"Snapped!"

Metelus slapped Scipio severely, and a bright red palm print quickly appeared on Scipio's face.

"Tell me, what's going on? I didn't tell you! Did you stop your hands!"

Metellus' eyes were full of anger. He didn't expect that Scipio would still act on Levi. If you succeeded in the assassination, it would be fine, but he was still alive.

Don't drag me down if you're looking for death!

A gleam of hatred flashed in Scipio's eyes, but it quickly passed away.

"He is wronging me! I did not do this! I swear to the gods!"

Scipio said with a weeping face.

"Do you dare to lie to me? Do you think I'm an idiot? I was so arrogant before, I didn't expect you to do such a thing."

Mettrus said angrily.

Keller looked at all this frowning. Pompeo was divorcing Musia. He didn't expect Scipio to do such a thing again. The Metlus family was really unfavorable.

But no matter how Mettrus questioned, Scipio always denied it, which made Mettrus even more angry and even punched and kicked him.

Keller quickly stopped him, "Father, I think I still think about how to solve this matter."

Mettrus held back his anger. He thought for a while and said: "This kind of thing cannot be admitted anyway. If it is admitted, then with Li Wei's personality, he will never give up easily. He will definitely think that we are also involved. among them."

"Will he also send an assassin to assassinate us?"

Keller said.

"It definitely will."

Mettrus said.

Li Wei has a criminal record, and that's how old Scipio died in his hands.

In addition to the Mucia incident, 5 people died all at once. If it weren't for Li Weigan, Mettrus would resign from all positions.

Keller looked at Scipio dissatisfied, it was his behavior that put the lives of the members of the Metluth family in danger.

"So I decided to send you to comfort him and explain this to him. In addition, you should not go out anywhere these days, and call Nepos back, lest he find a chance to assassinate you."

Mettrus said.

"Ok."

Keller said.

"Besides, you send someone to contact those assassins, let them go quickly, don't let me see them in Rome."

Mettrus said to Scipio.

The corners of Scipio's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing.

In the Vatican, Li Wei leaned on a bed with gauze wrapped around his head, as if he was not healed from a serious illness.

Cicero and others stood beside Li Wei, looking at Kyle with a nasty expression.

"Dear Archon, our family is deeply shocked by your assassination, and we are willing to cooperate with you to find the assassin. But I promise that the assassin has absolutely nothing to do with our family, and we will never do such a frantic thing. ."

Keller said softly.

Li Wei's face turned black immediately, and Getta and the others were also furious.

"What are you talking about? The assassin has nothing to do with you? Do you treat us as idiots?"

"You are insulting us, you know, you bastard."

"..."

All kinds of foul language were sprayed out at Kyle. Many of them started in the last minute, and coupled with many years of military service, they were not a gentleman and courteous person.

If it hadn't been for several years of cultivating one's mind and nature in the Senate, it might have only made the curse worse.

"Are you sure you have nothing to do with the assassin."

Li Weiqiang held back his anger.

"Yes, we have absolutely nothing to do with the assassin. Our nobles who have passed on for hundreds of years will never do this kind of thing. There must be some misunderstanding in this. I am willing to cooperate with you in investigating things about the assassin. "

Keller said.

Li Wei looked at him angrily. He didn't expect that the Mettrus family would refuse to admit it, so don't blame him for being rude.

His elders scolded again, and Li Wei waved them to stop.

"Very well, I hope you don't regret it, you can go."

Li Wei said.

Keller kept saying all kinds of sorry words, and finally left here in the angry eyes of everyone.

"Patriarch, this matter must not be forgotten, we must retaliate and go back."

"That's right, they all committed assassinations. If we don't retaliate and go back, who else will look at us in the future."

"..."

Everyone said one after another.

Li Wei thought for a while, and finally waved his hand, "What are you going to do? We are all disciplined and law-abiding people. How can we assassinate at every turn?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and it seemed like it was not your turn to observe discipline and law.

You twice led your troops to force the Senate to agree to unreasonable demands, according to Roman law, you have long been a traitor.

"We must salute me first, Lycias, you go to the Senate to sue Metelus, Keller, Nepos, and Scipio Metelus for allegedly assassinating me and demand that they be sentenced to death. The most important thing for the family Neatly, we can't let Metelus go on the road alone."

Li Wei said.

If an assassination is really carried out, it must be carried out secretly.

Isn’t it stupid to say that you want to assassinate Mettrus’s family in front of so many people?

No matter what, on the surface you should pretend to be just and bright.

Everyone looked at each other, never expected that Li Wei would say such a thing.

"Ok."

Lycias said.

"You should also cooperate in making this matter a little bit lively. We must let people know that the Metluth family is innocent and that no one in the family is a good thing. Don't let this matter cool down before the citizens' assembly is held. "

Li Wei said.

Everyone quickly agreed, and Li Wei ordered a few more words before they left here.

The atmosphere in Rome was full of tension. Mettrus's family was either ill or kept behind closed doors, and even the Senate’s meetings were no longer attended.

The civilian protector, Lucias, formally sued Mettrus and his family for allegedly sending someone to assassinate Levi, demanding a trial at the citizens' assembly and sentenced them to death.

This incident caused a sensation again, and a large number of details were disclosed by the "Roma Daily".

The relationship between Scipio Mettrus' personal slaves and those assassins, coupled with the reaction of the Mettrus family, seemed to confirm this.

Many people believe that Levi will not let the Mettrus family go, but the days have passed, and Levi still did not take any action. Until the day before the Civic Assembly to try Mettrus, Achillinus suddenly made an appointment. Mackian came out to meet.

"What are you talking about? You have to pay back the money."

Mackian said with a shocked look.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

Achillinus smiled and said, the pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Where did you get the money, that's 450,000 dinars."

Mackian said.

"I picked it up accidentally, you say my luck is good."

Achillinus said with a smile on his face.

Mackian looked at this guy fiercely, this **** guy, who actually gave him the money.

Either Metelus or Crassus, probably Metelus, because he and Metelus met in secret more than ten days ago.

"I hope to be able to pay off those debts today."

Achillinus said.

"no problem."

Mackian gritted his teeth and said.

After a handover, Ma Jian hurriedly reported the problem to Li Wei.

"So we haven't settled the two justices."

Li Wei sighed long.

"Yes it is."

Mackian said dejectedly.

"In that case, forget it."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Then what shall we do tomorrow?"

Mackian said.

"Ryokan."

Li Wei said.

Mackian opened his small round eyes wide, and didn't understand what Li Wei meant.

"A failure is not terrible, as long as we laugh at the end."

Li Wei said with a smile.

The melodious horn sounded, and a large number of Roman citizens rushed to Mars Square outside the city from various urban areas.

Although this civic assembly is very important, in fact there are not many people attending, and many people have to run for life.

Mettrus came to Mars Square early, and he didn't want to hear the horns at the door of his house. This was a shame to the Mettrus family.

At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in Mars Square. They were wearing ordinary clothes, sitting or standing, but they still couldn't conceal their military temperament.

Mettrus sneered. Did Li Wei think he was playing a trick to hide from the sky?

In fact, he was very clear about Li Wei's actions, and today he is going to let Li Wei return without success.

Before long, a large number of Roman citizens came to the square, and the square became crowded.

At this time, Li Wei and Cicero also came, accompanied by a large number of guards.

Since the last assassination, Li Wei has always been accompanied by a large number of guards wherever he goes.

Mettrus walked to Levi's side. Seeing Mettrus coming, Levi and Cicero stopped talking, but looked at him with hostile eyes.

"Li Wei, it seems that you are well prepared today. The number of people attending the citizens' assembly today is at least 30,000 more than usual."

Mettrus said with a smile.

"It's just a trivial matter. If necessary, I can increase them by 100,000 at any time."

Li Wei said.

The corners of Metelus's mouth twitched straight ~www.readwn.com~ But he admitted that Li Wei does have this ability.

"Although you secretly sent so many people, do you think you won today?"

Mettrus said.

"I may not win today, but I will definitely win in the end."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Let's see how we should talk about it. I apologize for the last assassination, but I can guarantee that I will never know about it."

Mettrus said.

"Why do you want to make peace? Obviously I won."

Li Wei said, "You can prevent the citizen assembly today, but this month is already May, and two months later is the day when the financial officer and construction officer are elected. I don't believe you have the ability to stop the citizen assembly all the time.

After listening to him, Mettrus felt bad.

"Can you keep them in Rome?"

"Of course, haven't you heard a saying that if you have money, you can do whatever you want."

Li Wei said.

There are only four legions, he can fully support it, and he can transfer a crusader from another legion.

Coupled with the growing congregation in Rome and those who resent him for killing Saturnin, it can be said that Metluth is dead.

"you……"

Mettrus was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Metelus, going against me is the biggest mistake of your life."

Li Wei said coldly.

Mettrus gave a cold snort, and then left here.

He knows that the matter is big, he can indeed prevent today's citizens' assembly from convening.

However, the trial of death penalty cases is generally incidental before the convening of the citizens' assembly, that is, as long as the citizens' assembly is convened in the future, then he must attend.

And the closer he is to elect a financial officer and a construction officer, the pressure on him will inevitably be greater.
