Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 346

The next day, there were cries in the streets of Rome!

The shocking news immediately attracted countless buyers!

“Give me a copy quickly!”

“I want a copy too!”

The “Roma Daily” was quickly sold out at an alarming rate, and the newsboy laughed from ear to ear. Today, he is going to make a fortune again.

“How is this possible? Saturnin was killed! This is too much!”

“What’s impossible? Can you live if you offend those nobles and knights? What a bunch of **** veterans!”

“A group of bastards, it’s a repeat of the incident of the Gragu brothers.”

“Li Wei and Lycias are still good, knowing that they are for the sake of our Roman citizens.”

“…”

Under the deliberate rendering of the “Roma Daily”, Saturnin became a hero for the welfare of the Roman people, while Metelus became the spokesperson of the evil dignitaries and knights. I don’t know how many people are angry with Metelus.

“Asshole! Li Wei! Do you have to do it with me right?”

After reading today’s “Rome”, Metluth said angrily.

He did not expect that Li Wei ignored the others and focused all the artillery on him, discrediting his impression in the minds of the people.

No, it must not be done, he must do something.

Re-declare a state of emergency and let Pompeo kill him?

This is impossible. Many elders will back down, and Pompeo will not agree.

Li Wei is not Saturning. Once he dares to do this, Li Wei will definitely blood the Senate. He even heard that Li Wei planned to order the army to enter the Senate yesterday. He is not the master of peace.

Mettrus walks around the house like a sleepy beast, what should he do?

Seeing that Mettrus was so angry, the slaves carefully avoided him so as not to offend him.

At this moment, Keller walked in, seemingly hesitant to speak.

“What’s the matter? Say it quickly.”

Mettrus knew his son better, knowing that something bad must have happened.

“Many of Li Wei’s elders gave speeches in Civic Square, condemning your behavior yesterday, demanding that you be tried, and saying that you are a public enemy of Rome!”

Keller whispered.

“That **** bastard!”

Mettrus scolded again, he smelled bad information from these behaviors.

With these intensive behaviors, Li Wei definitely wants to cause trouble.

“Let’s go to the Roman Forum to take a look.”

Mettrus said.

Keller nodded, then and Metluth took a few slaves down the mountain.

I met several elders along the way, and they all greeted Metelus very enthusiastically, but I don’t know why, Metelus always felt that their smiles were full of gloat.

After arriving in the square, he found that a large number of Li Wei’s elders were giving speeches here, and many Roman citizens were surrounded by them.

He squeezed into a crowd and found that Lycias was speaking generously to the people.

“Dear Roman citizens, yesterday was the darkest day in Roman history. A civilian protector who was dedicated to the welfare of Roman citizens was shamelessly murdered by Metellus.”

“Saturin and I are good friends and we know him very well. He is a very upright person. He always feels very sad to see so many impoverished Roman citizens on the streets of Rome. He told me that he hopes to help them. Let them live a better life, so the bill to restrict the use of slaves was proposed.”

“But his heart for the welfare of Roman citizens has been hated by some powerful people. Some people don’t like to hire Roman citizens. They prefer to use free slaves because they can make more money. So they bought it. A large number of elders, under the instigation of the evil Mettrus, killed the civilian protection officer.”

“Originally, I have always held great respect for the veteran of Mettrus. I always thought that he was a respectable person, a man dedicated to his life for Rome, but this time, I recognized him. True face. He never had the interests of Roman citizens in his heart! He only had golden power and power in his eyes! In order to please those powerful and knights, he could trample on the interests of citizens arbitrarily…”

Listening to Lycias’s speech, Mettrus couldn’t help but furious.

It’s really hateful, how could he slander him so much.

He looked at Lycias angrily, so angry that he wanted to kill him.

At this moment, there was a commotion around Metellus, and many people recognized him.

“Isn’t that Mettrus?”

“Yes, it’s him. I recognize him. He often speaks here.”

“I didn’t expect him to have the face to come here?”

“…”

Seeing the hostile eyes of the people around, Mettrus was a little panicked, and he quickly stepped back.

At this moment someone shouted loudly: “Metelus raised by the dog*mother*! The running dog of the powerful and the knight! The enemy of the people!”

Hearing these words, Mettrus’s heart trembled, and he retreated even faster.

“Fuck you**!”

“Enemy of the people!”

“…”

All kinds of vulgar words came out of their mouths. They are not outstanding people, but they are not stupid. They know who is really good to them. Metluth’s behavior is to sell their interests to please them. Powerful.

More and more people surrounded Metelus, which made Metelus extremely terrified.

“Go! Go!”

Mettrus shouted.

Under the protection of Keller and the slaves, he finally escaped from the crowd and ran up the mountain.

Mettrus was panting with big mouths, recalling the hideous faces of the people, his terrible fear.

He didn’t expect that he would become the enemy of the people.

This almost represents the end of a politician!

This is all the ghost of Li Wei! Damn it! He must avenge him!

Mettrus thought bitterly.

The death of Saturnin made many Roman citizens extremely angry. A civilian protector was killed by the Senate for their welfare. This is simply a shame to Rome.

Coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the “Roma Daily”, Mackian and Brutim sent a large number of people to provoke them, which even rushed people’s anger towards Metluth to the top.

Mettrus was completely infamous in Rome and became synonymous with villains.

Li Wei knew he had to strike while the iron was hot, and when the heat passed, it would be difficult to kill Mettrus.

A day later, the civilian protector, Lucias, convened a meeting of the Senate.

There was a chaos in the Hall of Hostilla, and they all had speculations about the purpose of Lysias.

Li Wei sat on his ivory chair and looked at Metluth coldly.

Mettrus was pale, he looked at Li Wei stubbornly with a vicious look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him.

It can be said that Li Wei completely ruined his political future and even caused terrible damage to the reputation of his family.

Crassou was more at ease, and Li Wei directed all the artillery fire at Metluth, not mentioning them as accomplices.

Although they are dissatisfied, they also want to get into trouble at this juncture.

Pompeo appeared at the entrance of the synagogue wearing a rimmed Toga, then sat down on his seat, and said softly: “Li Wei, today you are not going to sue my father-in-law, right?”

Li Wei frowned slightly, and it seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with himself.

“Pompeo, don’t you think it is too much for them to impose the death penalty on a guarantor of the same name without authorization?”

Li Wei said.

“But he is my father-in-law, can’t you let him go?”

Pompeo said.

Li Wei was calm on the surface, but he was scolding in his heart. This **** marriage, Brutim had better find evidence that Musia was fooling around with other people, or he would not let him go.

He thought for a while and said: “Pompey, I think we should have justice in our hearts and a bottom line.”

“Justice? The bottom line?”

Pompeo couldn’t help but sneer.

He was embarrassed to say this, Li Wei always encouraged him to lead troops to intimidate the Senate. If he wanted to say that the most lawless in the Senate was Li Wei, even Pompeo considered himself inferior.

“Li Wei, I really hope you let go of my father-in-law, otherwise I might reconsider our alliance.”

Pompeo said.

Li Wei’s complexion changed, and this guy was really unreliable.

“Pompey, I have always regarded you as my friend.”

“If you want me to be a friend, just let him go.”

“Metelus is the one who has been poaching me.”

“That’s Saturnin guilty of public anger.”

“…”

The two kept arguing, which attracted the attention of many people.

“Well, let’s not discuss this matter. Lycias’s prosecution has already decided a good thing, we will talk about it later.”

Li Wei said with an irony expression.

“Well then, but I won’t support you in this matter.”

“I see.”

The two finally stopped talking. Seeing Pompeo shook his head, Metluth’s heart was cold, and it seemed that Pompeo could not persuade him.

The Senate finally began, and after a brief introduction by Pompey, Lucias began to speak.

“Dear elders, I am extremely shocked by the death of Saturnin the day before yesterday. He is such a warm, upright and good man who has always been keen on working for the welfare of the people, but he has been…”

“Enough, don’t talk about rhetoric here. The killing of Saturnin is something passed by the Senate. It is reasonable and legal. Don’t show off your disgusting sympathy here.”

At this time, Keller said coldly.

“Keller, please don’t interrupt me.”

Lycias said dissatisfiedly.

“What’s wrong with me interrupting your speech? You are a hypocrite. Both you and Li Wei are shameless liars. Your conspiracy will not succeed.”

Keller said excitedly.

“Guard, this man interfered with the order of the Senate and drove him out of me.”

Lycias said loudly.

Hearing this, the Senate was immediately chaotic.

Some yelled at Lysias, some yelled at Keller, and some prevented the guards from entering.

“I think he is excusable, so forget it.”

At this time Pompeo said to Li Wei.

“Yes, provided that he must abide by the order of the Senate.”

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

“Ok.”

Li Wei made a gesture to Lycias, and Lycias knew that he could only let go of Keller.

Under the interference of Li Wei and Pompeo, the Senate became quiet again.

Lysias knew that no more sensational things could be said, and everything should be kept short, otherwise they would definitely spoil their speech with all their strength.

“In the name of the civilian protection officer, I formally sued the former consul, chief senator, and chief priest Mettrus who committed suicide and killed Saturnin without authorization. I demand that the citizens’ assembly be sentenced to death after three market days.”

As soon as Lucias’s words landed, the Senate was fried.

Li Wei and Lycias are so cruel, they even want to sentence Metluth to death.

“I firmly oppose it! This is shameless frame-up!”

“If you are right, he should be sentenced to death.”

“…”

Almost all the elders huddled together, expressing their own opinions, Keller jumped up and down, expressing his protest angrily, and some even fought.

Pompeo’s face was pale, and Mettrus’s face was desperate. With his current reputation, he was really likely to be sentenced to death at the Citizens’ Assembly.

When the veterans had enough vent, Pompeo said: “I think this is an extremely serious political incident, so one judge is not acceptable. At least three judges form a joint court.”

Three judges? Li Wei glanced at him lightly.

Disputes between Roman citizens and Roman citizens are handled by a special justice, and there is no need for three justices.

But this is a serious political incident, and 80% of them want to complicate this incident.

“I agree.”

“I agree.”

“…”

Some elders said one after another. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Levy looked at them and found that they were all elders of Metluth, Crassou, and Pompey.

Although Li Wei’s people opposed it, it is a pity that Mettrus and their elders accounted for an absolute majority. With their support, the resolution of the three justices to try the Mettrus case was quickly passed.

The news that Lysias formally sued Metellus spread quickly, which caused a huge wave among the Roman people.

When the glory of the current governor, chief elder, and chief priest was all in one, Metelus almost represented the pinnacle that the Romans could reach.

But he was going to be prosecuted to death. Almost all Romans talked about this matter, and it became the hottest thing in Rome.

“Li Wei! I want you to die! I want you to die!”

Metellus was like a wounded lone wolf, roaring angrily in his own home.

His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his eyes were full of endless hatred.

One by one the exquisite glassware was broken by him, and the table was kicked over by him.

Some cowardly slaves were so frightened that they dared not come close, but dared to avoid them far away.

After thinking about it, he ordered the slave to clean up the house, and then ordered Sibia Metelus to come.

Scipio was perturbed. He knew exactly what had happened recently, and didn’t know why Mettrus called him.

“Scipio, are you still in contact with those exiled nobles?”

Metluth asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong.”

Scipio said with a surprised look, did he change his mind.

“Tell them that as long as they kill Li Wei, I will do my best to help them return to Rome.”

Mettrus said coldly.

“no problem.”

Scipio said.
