Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 356
“We have news that Mettrus intends to flee. Archon Li Wei got the news, so he sent people to surround them. Sure enough, he found that he was taking more than a thousand veterans to kill, so he disarmed those veterans, and then Temporarily restricts his freedom. After only waiting for the citizens’ assembly three days later, he will be freed immediately.”
Anius said.
The elders almost vomited blood, and it was the first time they heard such a shameless explanation.
If it weren’t for you to lead an army to surround Metellus’ mansion, would he need to flee? It’s a good cause.
“Then what are you doing here?”
Pompeo’s face darkened. This is the Li Wei he knows. This is Li Wei.
“I’m here to inform you that Archon Li Wei decides to hold a meeting of the Senate tomorrow. There are several proposals to discuss with you.”
Anius said.
“Don’t pretend to be a fool here, you are clearly engaged in a mutiny.”
Said a veteran.
“This veteran is really good at joking. Where is the mutiny? Everyone is free to come and go except the Metellus family. If you don’t believe me, I can take you away. If someone dares to attack you, you kill me first. .”
Anius said.
Everyone is confused, what the **** is Li Wei doing?
“We can go now?”
A veteran asked.
“Yes, but I hope you can catch up with the Senate meeting the next day.”
Anius said.
The veteran couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Are you a lie? I’m not going!
“Then can we send someone to meet the Mettrus family?”
Pompeo asked.
“Of course you can, but it’s better to have a limit on the number of people. Only one person can be sent to visit at a time, so as not to run away in the crowd.”
Anius said.
Pompeo thought for a while, and immediately sent a slave to Mettrus’s house to find out the news.
The slave looked unwilling, but finally had to leave here on a horse. Anius didn’t stop it, but told him to report his name there.
“We are leaving now, you won’t stop us.”
Said a veteran.
“I swear in the name of the true god, I will never meet, but please remember to attend the Senate meeting the next day.”
Anius said with a smile.
The veterans looked at each other. Could it be that they really misunderstood Li Wei.
“You follow us, we are leaving Rome now.”
Pompeo said coldly.
“No problem, if you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask me.”
Anius said.
So under the leadership of Anius, they walked down the mountain.
After reaching the bottom of the mountain, they found that Rome was full of panic. A large number of Romans helped the old and the young to walk outside the city, and there was news that Li Wei wanted to purge the veterans who opposed him.
This allowed them to completely lift their hearts, and the situation was indeed very serious.
One ridiculed Anius: “Look, don’t we think we will wrong you.”
Anius smiled slightly, did not excuse, just led them forward.
Soon they found a group of crusaders, they lined up neatly, patrolling the streets of Rome.
After seeing Pompeo’s army, they immediately became vigilant.
“I am the veteran of Anius. I am now escorting Pompeo and his party out of Rome on the order of Archon Levy. Please clear the way.”
Anius said.
“Ok.”
A centurion looked at him and said, then the crusaders immediately stepped aside.
Pompey glanced at it, snorted coldly, and immediately ordered the army to move forward, just so few people, they were not afraid.
The crusaders didn’t attack them in the end, which made the elders breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they didn’t tear their faces.
Along the way, they found a large number of Crusaders, they were at least as a unit of a hundred people, but the number they encountered was at least one legion.
Sure enough, Li Wei transferred the army into the city of Rome. They patrolled the streets in an organized way, stopping some mobs who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. The whole of Rome was like a military-administered city.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Anius, they came outside the city gate without any hindrance.
After coming outside the city gate, some veterans were lost. What does Li Wei mean?
“Everyone, I will send you here. Remember to attend tomorrow’s Senate meeting.”
Anius said with a smile.
“No, you can’t let him go, maybe there is an ambush outside.”
Gabinius said.
Many elders nodded, which is in line with Li Wei’s cunning personality.
With their more than 3,000 troops, it is easy for Li Wei to make dumplings outside of Rome.
So the elders asked Anius to send them another ride, but Pompeo didn’t answer the call, but fell into deep thought, which is not in line with Levy’s style.
“If you want me to **** one more trip, there is no problem, but I don’t know why Rome is in chaos now. I need to bring some crusaders to protect my safety.”
Anius said with a smile.
Some elders laughed. You can’t figure out why, what innocence is pretending here.
“No problem, you can bring ten crusaders.”
Pompeo said.
Although he didn’t understand what Li Wei was up to, he felt better to be more cautious.
“no problem.”
Anius laughed.
So called some crusaders at the door, and followed Pompeo and them away.
Watching Pompeo and them leave, someone soon told Li Wei the news here.

At the beginning of the entire operation, the intelligence team was operating at high speed.
One by one, the Vatican and Mackian were so busy that they gathered all the news and reported them to Li Wei.
“Unexpectedly, Pompeo also escaped.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
“Yes, it seems that Pompeo has a false name and has not seen through your tactics at all.”
Mackian said flatly.
“Don’t underestimate him.”
Li Wei frowned and said.
“It was my fault.”
Ma Jian’s heart suddenly burst, and said quickly.
“How many elders ran with him.”
Li Wei asked.
“Our people found 15 senators and a guarantor with a common name. Here is their list.”
Ma Kian said, and then handed a piece of paper to Li Wei.
Li Wei glanced at it and said, “Cross out their names.”
Just on the wall of this room are white sheets, with the names of the elders written on those papers.
The names of many elders have been crossed out, including Krasu, Marcherus, Dumichius, Aquilinus and others.
A guard immediately found Pompeo and their names on the wall, and then their names were crossed out one by one.
“Unexpectedly, more than 100 veterans have already escaped. It seems that the game is a bit big this time.”
Li Wei said with a smile, his lips curled up, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
“It’s better for them to run, and no one will mess with you tomorrow.”
Mackian smiled.
Li Wei nodded, his purpose is very simple, is to scare away some veterans.
But the elders can’t all run away, and if they can’t, the quorum of the elders will not be reached.
“How many of our guests are there?”
“Currently there are 305.”
Mackian said quickly.
“They are probably too anxious to wait. It’s time for us to meet the guests.”
Li Wei said with a smile, and when he finished speaking, he walked out the door with Ma Jian.
A palace in the Vatican was warm like spring, and a large number of elders sat on a table with secret expressions, whispering the news they had received, completely turning a blind eye to the delicacies delivered by the slaves.
“What do you think Li Wei is going to do? Bring us here for the birthday party.”
“What else can I do? Of course, I want to win over us. You see, the veteran here is either Li Wei’s or is neutral. Even if he wants to be a dictator for life, he needs the veteran to decorate his appearance.”
“That’s right, I don’t know what happened to the veterans who opposed Li Wei?”
“That means it must be listed as a public enemy of the country, and then the family property was taken.”
“It’s terrible.”
“That’s right.”
“…”
These elders have all experienced the Sula and Mario Rebellion, and remembering that what happened in the first place may have happened to them, everyone’s face is extremely ugly.
Since some people who insisted on opposing Li Wei were extremely quiet at this time, there was no sign of anger, but they were shaking constantly.
While listening to the words of the elders, Katilin was drinking sullen wine with a gloomy expression.
What few people know is that he has received a divine metaphor that Rome will be ruled by three nobles of the Korneli clan, one is Qinna, one is Sura, and one is him.
If Li Wei becomes a life-long dictator, does it mean that the gods have changed and he will lose the opportunity to rule Rome?
At this moment, Li Wei appeared in this palace holding Monimi’s arm.
“I’m really sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time because of some things.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
Today’s Monimee has been meticulously powdered, radiant and beautiful, but the veterans have no intention of paying attention to her beauty.
“Nothing, it should be.”
“Don’t say waiting for a while, you should just wait for a day.”
“…”
Many elders said one after another, Katilin looked contemptuous.
He found that the most powerful flatterers were the veterans who often opposed Li Wei, and now he knew that he was scared when the knife rested on his neck.
But there are also elders who do not buy it. At this time, a veteran with white hair and beard stood up and shouted: “Li Wei, what do you mean? Why do you want us to come over?”
The elders looked at the elder and found that it was a very famous elder Labirius.
He is famous not because he was a consul or something, but because he lived long.
This year it is said that he is over 70 years old, which is very rare in Rome, where the average age is only over 30 years old.
Because of his old age, he often relied on the old and sold the old, and was a hard-core supporter of the nobility.
Li Wei’s face immediately cooled down, “Oh, is someone forcing you? If you don’t want to come here, you can leave at any time, I promise no one will stop you.”
“If I leave, I will be killed soon, right.”
Labirius said with a big laugh, as if he was dead.
“I don’t know why you said this.”
Li Wei said in astonishment.
“Why did you send so many crusaders into Rome?”
“They want to participate in the citizens’ assembly. They are Roman citizens. It is their legitimate right to participate in the citizens’ assembly.”
“You are talking nonsense, you obviously want to purge those veterans who oppose you!”
Labirius said excitedly.
“This is impossible! No such thing! You are naked slander!”
Li Wei’s face turned black immediately, and he looked even more excited than Labirius.
“Hahaha, you have to conceal it at this juncture. It really makes me look down on you. Why is it the first person in Rome.”
Labirius said with a laugh.
“Elder Rabbilius, you can eat food indiscriminately, but don’t talk nonsense, otherwise I will sue you for slander.”
Li Wei said coldly.
“Slander? Hahaha! This is really the biggest joke of the year! People in Rome know it, dare you say this is slander!”
Rabbi Rius was even more excited, he felt that Li Wei was too shameless.
“What’s the matter? Is there such a thing?”
Li Wei asked loudly.
“Returning to the Patriarch, it seems that something is true. I don’t know who is slandering the Patriarch, saying that Patriarch, you want to cleanse those senators who oppose you. As a result, many knights and senators fled Rome.”
Mackian said.
“What are you talking about? It turned out to be such a thing! It’s really unreasonable, who is slandering me! I must find him out! I must sue him!”
Li Wei said angrily.
“I will send someone to investigate immediately!”
The veterans who watched Li Wei and Ma Jian’s double acting ~www.mtlnovel.com~ couldn’t understand it.
What exactly is going on?
Could someone really wronged Li Wei!
But it’s impossible. The slaves in their house have heard the Crusaders say that they want to purge the veterans who oppose Li Wei.
“Elder Labirius, although I don’t know who is slandering me in this matter, I hope you will stop saying this, or I will really sue you for defamation!”
Li Wei said with a serious face.
“I think the consul is right, otherwise I would like to ask Elder Labirius to give an example of a veteran who was purged.”
At this time, Elder Cicero stood up and said.
“This… this… Elder Metelus must have been cleansed by you.”
Elder Labirius thought for a while and said.
“You misunderstood, we received the news that the veteran Mettrus was planning to escape, so we hurried to send someone to stop it. It turned out that this was really the case. You don’t know, he found more than 1,000 veterans who planned to kill us. It’s not that we have a lot of people, maybe our people will all be killed by him. Now he is in his own home, if you don’t believe it, Senior Rabirius can visit him.”
Cicero spoke freely.
Labirius couldn’t help being stunned, and the elders were also in an uproar. What is going on?
Did they misunderstand Li Wei!
This is impossible!
A veteran may misunderstand him, but it is impossible for such a diverse elder to misunderstand him.
“Dear veterans, this is definitely a misunderstanding! I don’t know who is spreading the rumors and I will reserve the right to investigate the truth of this matter! Besides, I promise that there will be no cleaning up of the veterans. If you don’t believe me, you can look for it. A veteran is dead.”
Li Wei said loudly.
