Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 348
The masked men thought for a while, tied them together in a very shameful way, and then discussed how to deal with this matter.
Some people think that people should be killed, and Pompeo is not easy to provoke.
Some think that they will be kidnapped directly by knocking a large sum of money, so as to demand a huge ransom from the Rabinus family and Pompey.
Listening to their discussion, little Rabinus struggled desperately, wanting to advise them not to kill anyone, he was willing to pay the ransom.
As for Pompeo’s revenge, at least it must be fatal.
At this moment, there was a sound from outside, and they immediately became quiet.
Outside the gate, a member of the security team asked questions very politely. They received a report from a child. There was a scream from the house, so they came to ask.
“There is nothing here, you can go.”
Said an urn sound in the house.
But Sabinus, the captain of the security team, was not credulous. He looked inside through the crack of the door and found that there was no one inside, and even the answerer was hiding in an invisible place.
That’s… blood!
He found a blood stain in the corridor leading directly to the room inside, and Sabinus immediately realized that something was wrong inside.
His thoughts turned sharply, and then he said, “I’m very humble. Excuse me, let’s leave now.”
He made a gesture to his team members, beckoning them to leave here.
The team members did not ask knowingly, and followed him out of here.
After arriving at a safe distance, Sabinus said with a serious face: “There must be a problem inside, I found blood in it.”
“Then what shall we do?”
One of the team members asked.
“Look for a ladder from a nearby tenant, then climb the wall and go in.”
Sabinus looked at the yard. The wall of the yard was very high, but if there was a ladder, he should be able to get in.
His team members nodded in agreement, Sabinus was smart and capable, and they were all very convinced of him.
So they found a family to borrow a ladder, and then quietly approached the house.
They leaned the ladder against the wall, and a team member climbed up the wall cautiously, but found nothing, even the person who was talking to them disappeared.
He gestured to the teammates below, and then jumped directly into it.
He was about to open the door, but found that the door was locked and could not be opened without the key.
In desperation, he had to motion them to jump down.
Two more team members jumped into it. When Sabinus climbed up the wall, some masked men suddenly rushed out of the attic on both sides of the house.
They held crossbows in their hands, and then pointed at the guards who had jumped into the yard.
“Be careful!”
Sabinus exclaimed.
The security team members in the yard also discovered this situation. One wanted to hide in the house, but found that the house was locked.
A crossbow fired and shot the exposed team member into a sieve. Only two team members hid behind the porch and were not shot.
At this moment, the door of the downstairs room opened, and six masked men rushed out, armed with daggers, and killed the members of the security team.
Seeing this, Sabinus was shocked. There were more than ten people who showed up here. How many people are there in the enemy?
Sabinus hesitated, should he jump down?
If he jumped down with the team members, he might all die here.
At this moment, a few more rushed downstairs to join the battle group, all of them armed with short swords, facing the siege of more than a dozen people, the two people were quickly killed by the chaotic sword.
Sabinus looked at all this with a look of horror. He didn’t expect his three team members to be killed by them so quickly.
The masked men upstairs set their arrows again, and then aimed at him.
Seeing this, Sabinus quickly jumped down the stairs.
“Captain, what’s going on inside?”
A team member asked, they had heard the screams inside.
“There are a lot of people in it, hurry up and call for support.”
Sabinus said palely.
The player nodded, and then quickly left here.
“What about them? Why don’t they rush in.”
A team member asked.
“Don’t go in, there are a dozen robbers inside, they have daggers and crossbows.”
Sabinus said.
Hearing this, the players were shocked, and they knew that the players inside were dead.
Sabinus kept thinking, these enemies are by no means ordinary people, could it be that where did he come from a robber?
Rome in this era is like China at that time, and there are many robbers everywhere.
Before long, he heard nothing inside.
He looked into the yard through the crack in the door, only to find that there was nothing moving in the yard, except for a corpse.
Uncertain, he climbed the stairs again, no one inside.
He still didn’t go in, what if it was the enemy’s trap?
When the brigade’s support arrived, they rushed inside and found 5 bodies and a pair of naked men and women tied up.

Rome was a complete sensation, and no one of the people eating melons thought that this would happen.
Pompey’s wife and son of the elder, Yehehui met a robber, not only the death of his personal slave, but also the death of three guards.
A big case involving 5 lives, involving Pompeii, a senator, an affair, a vendetta, and a conspiracy, is even more bizarre than the most bizarre novel. It makes the people who eat melons climax and fully satisfies the gossip desires of the people. The limelight of the event even overshadowed Saturnin’s death.
“Roma Daily” followed up on this incident for three consecutive days. The three-day newspapers were sold out and printed before they were out of stock.
Vatican, with a gentle smile on Li Wei’s face, sitting on a chair.
The wine in his hand spins into a beautiful whirlpool, and he is chatting with Rufus.
“Rufus, I’ll give you the bottom line. What I have dealt with Metellus has nothing to do with restricting the use of the Slave Act. There is only a personal grievance between me and him. I assure you that my people and I will never Support any laws restricting the use of slaves.”
Although Rufus was a little skeptical, he was grateful on the surface: “This is really great. You don’t know how heartache I was when I knew you supported Saturnin. I have always regarded you as my idol. , My heart was broken at that time.”
“I hope you can explain this to your friends.”
“Extremely happy.”
Li Wei laughed, “Since the misunderstanding has been solved, I think we will become good friends again.”
“Of course.”
Rufus said flatly.
Although he is a very famous knight in Rome, he is still a far cry from Li Wei, and Li Wei is very worthy of him to explain himself.
“You know that a citizens’ assembly will be held in 18 days to try Metellus. I sincerely hope that you and your doorstep can remain neutral. I don’t know if you can do it.”
Li Wei said.
Rufus did not immediately agree, but looked embarrassed.
“What’s wrong, do you want to support Metellus?”
Li Wei’s face changed immediately.
“Of course not. I’m counting the date. I seem to have something to leave Rome that day.”
Rufus said quickly.
“Haha, isn’t it? This is really great. I have a very close relationship with many kings of the East. You know the slaves there are very cheap. If you want to open up business there, I can write you a letter of introduction. “
Li Wei said.
“This is really great. Recently I have always wanted to import some oriental goods, such as Parthian carpets, Chinese silks. Many Romans like these things. But my purchase channels are very poor, and the prices they give They are all very tall.”
Rufus said.
“It’s very simple. I can write a letter to some of my protectors for King Antioch and Armenia. I think they can provide you with stable and cheap channels.”
Li Wei said.
“Really? This is simply great. Thank you so much!”
Rufus said with a smile.
He didn’t expect this kind of benefit. He didn’t want to participate in the big boss fight, and just took the opportunity to leave Rome to avoid the limelight.
So Li Wei asked for paper and pen and wrote a few letters to him, and Rufus thanked him very much before he left.
Soon after he left, a guard came to report.
“Report to the Patriarch, Pompeo is visiting.”
“Really? Ask him to come in.”
Li Wei said with a smile. He didn’t expect that he would endure for three days before coming home. He really could bear it.
It didn’t take long before Pompey, wearing a rimmed toga, walked in.
His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he looked at Li Wei angrily as soon as he entered.
“My dear friend, you are finally here, come sit down.”
Li Wei said with a smile, as if he hadn’t seen his angry expression.
It can only be said that this is really a tragic child, because of his own reasons, the thing about his cuckold has spread throughout the Mediterranean and has become known to everyone.
“Li Wei, tell me if you did this thing.”
Pompeo said angrily.
“Musia’s matter?”
Li Wei asked.
“Yes.”
“How is this possible? How could I do such a thing! I have always regarded you as my friend, although you often do things that are sorry for me.”
Li Wei said dissatisfiedly.
“Why is it such a coincidence? Your man just sued Mettrus, and his daughter immediately exposed this kind of thing.”
“Pompey, you must tell evidence in everything. If there is no evidence, it is slander! Even if you are my friend, you can’t slander me like this.”
Li Wei looked really angry.
“Do you dare to swear?”
“Of course, if I swear in the name of the true god, will you believe me? As long as you believe me, I will swear.”
Looking at Li Wei’s sincere eyes, Pompeo still didn’t quite believe it.
“I know you are very angry, very angry, but this is not the reason to push everything to my head. I don’t believe that this kind of thing will happen. Although I have a bad relationship with her, I always think she is a good wife and mother. , I didn’t expect all this to be an illusion.”
Li Wei said.
“Enough, don’t mention her again.”
Pompeo said angrily.
“Well, we won’t mention her. I have wine here, would you like a drink?”
Li Wei said.
Pompey took a glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one go.
“Would you like some whiskey, the wine is not strong at all.”
Li Wei said.
“Ok.”
Soon Li Wei asked someone to bring his treasured whiskey, and then gave him a glass.
“This is a good wine I have treasured for 5 years. I would not entertain him for ordinary people.”
Li Wei said.
Pompeo drank the glass of whiskey, then let out a grunt* of contentment.
“It’s really good wine, is there any more?”
Pompeo said.
“Of course, I will give you a few bottles if you like.”
“Then I’m not welcome.”
Pompeo looked at Li Wei bitterly while drinking, which made Li Wei’s heart flutter.
“what happened again?”
“Did you read the “Roma Daily” these days?”
Pompeo asked.
“Look, I know what you want to say. Actually, I sent someone to talk to Cicero yesterday and asked him to delete the thing about Musia. But today he sent someone to tell me what people have the right to know the truth. To persuade me not to interfere with these things is nothing short of bullshit.”
Li Wei said.
Pompeo snorted, and Li Wei’s face was getting thicker and thicker as Cicero’s cartilaginous head could say such things.
“When will the news about Musia stop appearing in the newspaper?”
Pompeo said.
He knew that it was best not to play with Li Wei, and directly approach him for the most tangible results.
“I promise that from tomorrow, there will be nothing more about Musia in the “Roma Daily”.”
Li Wei said solemnly.
Pompeo nodded, and the purpose of his coming could be regarded as achieved, so the “Roma Daily” **** him off.
Li Wei persuaded him to drink while saying: “If you feel unhappy, just drink more. It will be much better if you get drunk and sleep.”
Pompeo didn’t speak~www.mtlnovel.com~ After taking a big sip, he screamed: “That **** Musia, she dare to do that kind of thing.”
“She was really too much, and I heard that she didn’t just meet little Rabinus.”
Li Wei said.
Pompeo’s face changed immediately, and he took a deep look at Li Wei.
“Who else?”
“Appius Claudius Purker.”
Li Wei said.
In fact, he was extremely surprised when he knew the result. He didn’t expect that Appius, who looked steady, could be so romantic.
“Bitch!”
Pompeo scolded viciously.
Li Wei looked at him with pity on his face. The saddest thing about a man is that the whole world knows that his wife Hongxing has gone out of the wall, and he is the last one to know, even if someone has heard of it, he would not dare to tell him about it.
“If you want to retaliate against them, I can help you.”
Li Wei said.
“Okay, if you need your help, I will come to you.”
Pompeo said.
In the end, Pompeo left without a few drinks. Li Wei did not ask him if he planned to divorce. He believed he would make a wise decision.
As for whether Pompeo will turn his face against him because of this incident, he thinks it is highly unlikely.
In the last life, Caesar gave Pompey and Crassou green hats, and instead of turning their faces, they became allies.
Publius Claudius Purker gave Caesar a green hat, and they did not turn their faces. Instead, they became allies afterwards. The foreigner’s style in this regard is really hard for Li Wei to understand.
He doesn’t also expect Pompey and Metellus to turn their faces, as long as he stays neutral for a short time.
He wanted Mettrus’s allies to leave him one by one, so that he would die at the citizens’ assembly.
