Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 344
After Mettrus left, an unusually fat knight came over.
This is a very wealthy knight and he is also very famous in Rome.
“Rufus, welcome.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
Rufus and Levy shook hands tightly. Rufus hesitated and asked: “Levy, I heard that you have a good relationship with Saturnin.”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
Li Wei said.
“Pompeo has vetoed his citizens’ assembly. It is said that Saturnin intends to present his bill at your citizens’ assembly. Is this true?”
Rufus asked.
Li Wei did not answer immediately, but thought about it. To his surprise, it was Pompeo who vetoed Saturnin’s citizens’ assembly.
This made Saturnin had to find Li Wei, hoping to let him propose the bill in the citizens’ assembly, and he had agreed to Saturnin.
“Yes.”
Li Wei said.
“Why do you want to do this? We all respect you. You know that doing so will harm the interests of many people.”
Rufus said dissatisfiedly.
Li Wei’s face was embarrassed, and he didn’t expect him to smash himself face to face.
“The civilian protection officer has the right to propose his own bill, my friend. And his bill only concerns the construction industry, I believe he will stop there.”
Li Wei said.
“Even if he stops here, will others follow suit?”
Rufus said.
Li Wei remained silent, as things that touched the interests of the ruling class would often be stifled as soon as they showed signs.
For example, in the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States, the American police are very cruel to them.
There was also the reform of the Gracchu brothers, which was finally destroyed by the Senate.
“Li Wei, I hope you don’t walk with Saturnin. He is a lunatic, trust me, he will not end well.”
Rufus said.
Li Wei did not speak, and half an hour later, the shop officially opened for sale.
The 30 half-length mirrors and 500 small mirrors prepared by Li Wei were robbed, once again becoming a myth in the Roman business world.
He didn’t mind Rufus’ words, but still expressed his support for Saturnin in accordance with the agreement.
But I didn’t know, but Metelus and the others were pleased.
They moved quickly, secretly contacting a famous knight and nobleman.
Those nobles and knights are extremely angry about this, as long as they basically everyone is a slave owner.
Although Saturnin’s decree did not threaten their interests for the time being, each of them saw signs of danger.
“Rufus, you have also seen that Levy did not respect your interests. He even allowed Saturnin to submit the **** bill at his citizens’ assembly. This was a terrible start.”
Mettrus said with concern, “Saturin has won the hearts of the people and people have expressed their support for him. If he wins, more people will follow in his footsteps and improve more restrictions on the use of slavery. This way your losses will be great.”
Rufus’s face is very ugly. He is not only engaged in the construction industry in Rome, but also a major slave trader. Saturnin’s bill will cause him great harm.
“What do you want me to do? It’s impossible for me to do it right with Li Wei, his influence is too strong.”
Rufus said.
“You don’t need to come forward to fight him, you just donate a little money to us, and we promise to kill Saturnin so that this kind of bill will never appear.”
Mettrus said.
“How are you going to kill him?”
Rufus asked with interest.
“The state of emergency law, we need money to buy off the elders. As long as the Senate declares a state of emergency, we can kill Saturnin, just like we killed Gragu.”
Mettrus said with a smile.
Emergency law? This is really a good thing.
A smile appeared on Rufus’s face.
“How much do you need?”
“The more the better, you know that Li Wei controls nearly half of the elders. It is not easy to draw the elders from him.”
“I can donate money, but I don’t want my donation to spread.”
“no problem.”
“Also, let Saturnin die a bit miserably, and I want posterity to take warning.”
Rufus said viciously. .
“as you wish.”
When Rufus left, Mettrus smiled.
Unexpectedly, he donated 500,000 dinars at once. It seems that he really hates Saturnin to his bones.
These days they have won a huge amount of donations, and it’s time to teach Li Wei a lesson.

“What are you talking about? Elder Longinus? You want to pay it back? We don’t need you to pay it back.”
Inside a luxury hotel, Brutim said with a shocked face.
Some time ago he gave Longinus 300,000 dinars, and now he has to pay back the money.
Is he crazy?
“No, no, please be sure to let me pay back the money. Didn’t we sign a contract some time ago? I hope you will return that contract to me.”
Longinus smiled awkwardly.
“tell me why?”
Brutim stared at him and said.
He didn’t believe that someone would give 30 dinars for nothing, unless someone offered a higher price.
“This…this…”
Longinus looked embarrassed.
“If there is no suitable reason, it is difficult for me to explain to Li Wei.”
Brutim said.
“Someone gave me more money, and they said they wanted me to support the Senate to enter a state of emergency.”
Longinus said.
“State of emergency?”
Brutim looked shocked. Of course he understands what an emergency is?
Only in very dangerous situations will the Senate declare a state of emergency, and once it enters a state of emergency, it often means killing.
“Who gave you the money? Why did you enter a state of emergency?”
Brutim asked quickly.
“It is the veteran of Rabinus. He said that Saturnin’s bill has threatened the security of the country, and they may want to kill Saturnin.”
Longinus said.
“Rabinus…”
Brutim couldn’t help frowning. Rabinus was a neutral veteran and had always opposed Saturnin’s bill.
But it is impossible for him to spend so much money, which means that there may be other people behind him.
“Do you know who gave Rabinus the money?”
Brutim asked.
“I do not know about this.”
Longinus said.
Brutim knew that this matter was very important, and he couldn’t be the master at all, so he said a few words to Longinus, and then reported the situation to Li Wei.
“Rabinus? State of Emergency Law?”
After listening to Brutim’s report, Li Wei looked solemn.
He didn’t expect that someone planned to use the state of emergency method to deal with Saturnin, which was really ruthless.
It is absolutely impossible for Rabinus to manipulate all of this behind his back.
“Should we agree to Longinus’ request?”
Brutim said.
“Let’s wait for a while and look at the situation. If I guess it’s right, maybe there will be a lot of people coming to pay back the money.”
Li Wei said.
“Ok.”
“In addition, you should send someone as soon as possible to find out who is behind all this. Only those who have the ability to do all of this should be your highest priority task.”
Li Wei said that he already had a suspicious target in his mind, because the Senate had such strength and only four people.
In addition to him and Pompeo, it was Crassou and Metluth.
“Ok.”
After Brutim left, Li Wei felt a little heavy.
The enemy’s offensive is very fierce. Perhaps it is a wrong decision to support Saturnin.
Although the Senate meeting passed the decision to recall Leberis some time ago, he still felt that the gain was not worth the loss.
He thought for a while, wrote a letter, took off the ring, stamped it, and handed it to a guard.
“Send this letter to Longcheng.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”

The estrus of the matter did not exceed Li Wei’s expectations, and a large number of elders demanded to pay back the money.
This makes Li Wei feel very embarrassed, it seems that things are getting more and more difficult.
It didn’t take long for Brutim to find out who was behind the scenes-it was Metluth and Krasu.
“Patriarch, what should we do? Many veterans have blocked my door. They gave me a deadline and asked me to come up with a contract within two days.”
One day, Brutim came to report.
It’s just that he looked very embarrassed, Li Wei found a lot of scars on his neck and face.
“What’s the matter with your face? You got hit?”
Li Wei asked curiously.
“Yes, I was blocked by more than a dozen people yesterday. They warned me that I must accept payment from the elders, or I will die.”
Brutim said with an ugly face.
“They are too much, they dare to threaten my people.”
Li Wei couldn’t help being furious, he knew these people couldn’t wait, because the date of his citizens’ assembly for Saturnin was getting closer and closer.
“Today you go back and take a hundred people back from the castle, and let them protect your safety. Also, find out who the people are, and I allow you to retaliate against them.”
Li Wei said.
“Thank you, Patriarch.”
Brutim said with surprise on his face that he believed in the strength of the intelligence team and it was absolutely easy to find out those people.
“Then shall we agree to them?”
“Promise them and tell them to allow them to pay back the money in two days.”
Li Wei thought for a while and said, he also wanted to see what tricks they planned to play, but it was a pity that Saturnin.
“Ok.”
“By the way, how are things going with Musia?”
“I have been watched very closely by those people these past two days, and I don’t have time to do this.”
“After doing this, we must do things for Mousia as soon as possible. Recently, Pompeo and them have gotten closer and closer.”
Li Wei said.
“I see, Patriarch.”
The elders finally paid off all their debts, which made them finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole of Rome finally became turbulent.

The sun was shining brightly, and a Roman legionary lined up neatly outside the Vatican.
Their arrival caused panic among many people, but after seeing the unique dragon-shaped sign, many people calmed down.
Before long, the door of the castle opened wide, and they all moved into the Vatican.
“Plautus has seen the Patriarch!”
“Glius has seen the Patriarch!”
Inside a palace, the heavily armed Plautus and Glius said respectfully.
“Very well, I am relieved when you come, how many people have you brought.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
“I brought a dragon city guard from a legion.”
Plautus said.
“I have brought five brigades of Crusaders, and they have been installed in batches in various cathedrals in Rome.”
Grieus said.
“Good job.”
Li Wei nodded and said.
“Patriarch, why are so many people transferred to Rome? Don’t you be afraid of protests from the Senate?”
Plautus asked. Since they had just arrived in Rome, they knew nothing about the situation in Rome.
“I’m just in case, some people want to play with fire, I want to tell them the end of playing with fire, in case they do stupid things.”
Li Wei said with a sneer.
Plautus and Glius looked at each other, what does this mean.
“Someone wants to play the state of emergency law.”
Li Wei said.
“Does anyone want to kill you?”
Plautus said with a shocked look.
“Who is right? Someone might want to kill me by the way.”
A Ruoruuowu smile appeared on Li Wei’s face.
“Please order from the Patriarch, who is unfavorable to the Patriarch, let us kill them all.”
Grieus said.
“It’s alright, it’s only possible. They haven’t done it yet, it depends on the situation.”
Li Wei said, “During this time, you have stationed part of your troops in the Vatican and part of the city in Rome. I will see what tricks they play.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
The news that Roman soldiers from a legion had arrived at the Vatican spread through Rome like a whirlwind, which made the situation in Rome tense.
“Asshole! What is he doing?”
Mettrus furiously said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ lawlessness! It’s lawless! “
Krasu was angry with fear in his eyes.
Does Li Wei know their plan?
“Should we convene a meeting of the Senate and order him to drive all the guards back to Rome, and now we have regained control of the Senate.”
Keller said.
“It’s no use, civilian protection officers will veto this order.”
Mettrus shook his head and said, the news that someone was going to deal with Saturnin had spread secretly.
It caused great dissatisfaction among some civilian protection officers, and they expressed great dissatisfaction with this behavior.
“We can’t wait any longer, we must act as soon as possible, the big deal is to give up the plan against Li Wei.”
Krasu said.
“Ok.”
Mettrus said.

The sky was full of dark clouds, then thunder bursts and light rain began.
At Li Wei’s home, everyone had breakfast.
It’s just that the atmosphere is a little dull. Everyone knows the changes in Rome these days, which makes them worry about it.
At this moment, Saverio walked in.
“Report to the Patriarch, Archon Pompeo sent someone to inform that the Senate meeting will be held in the Hostilla Hall. Please go as soon as possible.”
“Really? It’s finally here.”
Li Wei took a napkin and wiped his mouth, with sneers on his face.
“You must be careful.”
Emilia said with a look of concern.
“Remember to bring more people.”
Monimee said that they all knew that this Senate meeting was unusual.
“I know, don’t worry, I will be fine. Remember to close the fort door tightly. No one can enter or leave until I return.”
Li Wei said.
