Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 357

The elders, look at me, and I look at you, who is it?

Labirius was also confused. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll go to the house of the veteran Mettrus.”

After talking about the veteran Rabirius, he left here.

Li Wei did not stop him, but said: “By the way, remember not to be late for the Senate meeting tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, some elders suddenly realized.

They finally understood Li Wei’s purpose. He was using the Crusade to scare away some veterans who opposed him.

Then take the opportunity to convene a meeting of the Senate, so that the senators who support him will have an absolute advantage, and no matter what the proposal can be passed smoothly.

But the Senate meeting must have more than half of the participation in order to be legally effective, so he forced some senators to avoid running out of them.

Katilin’s mouth opened wide in surprise, and it turned out that he could still play like this.

No wonder Li Wei kept creating tension some time ago.

The Crusades were continuously sent to Rome, and even the “Rome Daily” kept advocating that Levy wanted to purge the veterans.

However, there was a glimmer of joy in his heart, so he was still the third person to rule Rome.

At the same time, he is extremely contemptuous of Li Wei. If he were Li Wei, he would have been a life-long dictator, and he would play with them.

“Okay, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. You are welcome today, please enjoy the food I prepared for everyone.”

Li Wei said loudly.

There was a burst of cheers in the palace immediately, and the doubts in their hearts were relieved, and many elders were relieved.

Although some people slandered Li Wei, they also felt very grateful that the day like that kind of cleansing would never come.

In the middle of the night, a large number of veterans were stationed in a village by the Appian Avenue.

Pompey spent his dinner with a gloomy expression. Levy finally occupied Rome. What should he do?

Do you want to meet Li Wei in battle! It is not a simple matter to defeat Li Wei!

Moreover, Li Wei didn’t seem to have the right plan with him, instead sent someone to send him out of the country as a gift.

Up to now, Li Wei has not seen any sneak attacks, all of which reflect his goodwill.

The elders talked a lot, but they couldn’t discuss a charter, and finally decided to wait and see what happened in Rome.

At this moment, a slave came in.

“Master, I’m back.”

“How come back now.”

Pompeo asked with a sullen face, this was the slave who went to visit Metluth.

“Elder Metellus was fine, but was under house arrest. He had something to tell you. Later, when I was leaving, I ran into Elder Labirius, and he told me something very important.”

“what’s up?”

“We are in Li Wei’s plan. There is no plan to cleanse the elders at all. These are all rumors released by Li Wei. He wants to scare away those veterans who oppose him. His purpose is tomorrow’s Senate meeting and the citizens of the day after tomorrow. General Assembly.”

Said the slave.

“What are you talking about? Are you sure this is true?”

Gabinius said with a shocked look, how is this possible?

“Yes, I went to the homes of more than 20 elders again and found that they either escaped or were invited by Li Wei to attend Monimi’s birthday party. Elder Labirius was forced to attend. It was a birthday party, and he told me that it was Li Wei who was afraid that the number of old men who would attend the Senate would be insufficient, so he tried to force them to stay in Rome.

Said the slave.

The veterans looked at each other, how could this happen.

They were scared by a rumor from Li Wei and escaped from Rome. Who would dare to believe it? It is no wonder that Anius repeatedly emphasized his participation in tomorrow’s Senate meeting for this reason.

Pompeo was also pale, and he could fully imagine how Li Wei would laugh at him in the future.

“Prepare the horse, I want to go back to Rome.”

Pompeo said.

“Pompey, wait a minute. In case this is Li Wei’s conspiracy, maybe he is trying to trick you back and kill you.”

At this time, a senior veteran said.

Pompeo took a deep look at him. He knew the thoughts of this senator and believed him 80% of the time, but it was nothing to attend the Senate once less, because his fate was not important.

“Don’t worry, I know Li Wei. If anyone wants peace in Rome most, he is definitely one of them.”

Pompeo said.

“why?”

The elder asked curiously.

“Because of the holy religion, every day, the holy religion will be stronger. He doesn’t need to do anything. After a few years, he will be the uncrowned king of Rome. Twenty years later, it may not be impossible for him to be the emperor. He is the one of us who desires peace most.”

Gabinius said.

The elders couldn’t help but suddenly realized, and then cursed one after another.

It was so treacherous that they scared them to flee Rome.

“You wait here first, and then I will send someone to contact you after I confirm that it’s okay.”

Pompeo said, and left here after speaking.

The elders looked at each other, and finally decided to stay here.

Although peace is in Li Wei’s interests, if he gets his brain pumped, after all, his life is still very important.

A round of dark red sun hung high in the sky, and thick fog formed in the city of Rome at some point, covering the entire Roman giant in the thick fog.

The Roman Forum was filled with thousands of heavily armed guards, they talked loudly and laughed from time to time.

Some elders passing by saw them snorted and then entered the Hall of Hostilla.

Today’s synagogue is much quieter than before. After some elders arrived, they either sat quietly in their place or communicated in a low voice.

However, some elders were happy, and without those annoying guys, they felt that the bad weather could be tolerated.

Li Wei sat on his ivory seat and looked at it with a smile.

Pompey is not there, Crassou is not, Metelus is not, this is the Senate that I like.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the Hostilla Hall.

Seeing him, many veterans were overjoyed.

“Pompey! Why are you back!”

“This is great!”

“…”

Some elders came forward to surround him as if they had seen the backbone.

Pompeo greeted them with a smile, and after a few words, he came to his seat.

“I didn’t expect you to come back. It was beyond my expectation.”

Li Wei said with a smile.

“If you don’t come back, you will probably laugh me to death in the future.”

“It’s really possible.”

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

“I have to say that you played beautifully, but don’t you think it’s too much? How many people are scared to leave Rome.”

“This is just a misunderstanding. It may be that a certain messenger misunderstood what I meant and gave the wrong order. I apologize for that.”

“Do you think I will believe you?”

“Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed.”

“This is the most shameless thing I have ever heard in my life.”

“Thank you for your compliment.”

The two talked with a smile, looking like they were good friends, but they knew they would never go back.

Betrayed once is enough!

Then the two sides shut up and looked at the Senate quietly.

Seeing that the elder was almost here, Li Wei stood up.

“Dear elders, although some unpleasant things happened yesterday, these things have passed. The most important thing for us is to look forward. Now I announce that the Senate meeting can begin.”

At this time, two guards dragged a fortune-telling officer out. The fortune-telling officer was thin, looked pale, had no vision, and could not even stand steady. He was dragged by the two guards. Stand firm.

He glanced at the sky at the entrance of the synagogue, and then said, “The sign of the sky…good luck.”

“Next, I announce that the Senate meeting has officially begun.”

Li Wei said.

“Wait, what’s going on with him”

At this time, a senior veteran said.

Li Wei glanced at him and found that he was Labirius.

He snorted, did not speak, but glanced at Cicero.

Cicero stood up knowingly and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Why is he like this? I remember Oruenkus is in good health, how could he become like this.”

Labirius said.

“Yesterday… I hit my unfilial son, but I didn’t expect to get hurt.”

There was a smile on the face of the fortune-teller that was more ugly than crying.

“I do not believe.”

Labirius said.

When he finished speaking, he walked to the fortune-teller, Li Wei’s face was even more ugly, this **** fellow.

But soon he was stopped by Lucias, who was at the entrance of the passage, very close to the fortune-teller.

“Senior Rabbilius, what are you doing? Please go back to your seat and don’t disrupt the order of the Senate meeting.”

“You go away, I suspect he has been maliciously hurt, and I want to examine him.”

Senior Rabirius said.

“Guard, Senior Rabirius disrupted the order of the meeting and pulled him out.”

Li Wei said majesticly.

Soon the guards came up and dragged Labirius to walk outside the hall.

At this time, there were only a few people who were pro-Li Wei, the civilian protection officer, and there was no one to stop him.

“Stop it, I am the veteran, you can’t do this.”

“Li Wei, you can’t do this! You tyrant!”

“…”

Elder Labirius struggled desperately, but was dragged out by the guards.

Pompeo opened his mouth, but in the end he did not speak.

“Dear Archon, I… I have a question.”

At this time, a senior veteran cowered and said.

“what is the problem.”

Li Wei said lightly.

“Yesterday I went to meet with Elders Metluth and Elder Keller. They both applied for exile and asked me to convey this sentence to the Senate.”

The elder said.

Li Wei glanced at him deeply, “Are you sure you heard me right?”

“I……”

The senator looked around and knew that if he confessed, then he would offend Li Wei to death.

“I also heard.”

At this time another veteran said.

“I also heard.”

“And I.”

“…”

One veteran stood up and expressed support for that veteran, and finally the veteran nodded quickly.

Li Wei’s face gradually darkened, and he didn’t expect that at this point, there are still so many people talking to Mettrus, is it really going to kill talent.

“I think what they said should be true, it is better to let them go into exile.”

Pompeo said at this time.

Li Wei took a deep look at him and said: “It is up to the justices to decide whether criminals go into exile. Since Justice Aquilinus and Justice Marcherus are missing. Therefore, this matter is left to Tuskus. The judge is now.”

Tuskus was one of the three justices and Li Wei’s doorstep.

“No problem, I will visit him after the meeting, and I will personally confirm whether he really intends to go into exile.”

Justice Tuscus said at this time.

“I will accompany you when the time comes.”

Pompeo said.

Tuskus couldn’t help frowning, and if Pompeo personally accompanied him, then the matter would not be fooled.

“no problem.”

Li Wei said, and then winked at Lucias quietly.

Lycias nodded knowingly. The civilian protector had assumed the sacred duty of guarding the passage.

He immediately walked to the entrance of the passage, called a centurion, and quietly ordered a few words.

All this is in Pompeo’s eyes, which fills his eyes with haze.

“Dear elders, today I have two proposals that I want to submit to the Senate for discussion. It is now a new year, but the financial officer and the construction officer have not been elected. This has caused too much trouble for the country. I think we should convene citizens’ assemblies as far as possible and elect financial officers and construction officers~www.mtlnovel.com~ so I once again propose that in the citizen assembly on the next market day, a citizen assembly can be held regardless of the signs.”

Li Wei said loudly.

The Senate was silent, and they had been mentally prepared for Li Wei’s proposal.

Most of the veterans who opposed Li Wei were scared away. If Li Wei hadn’t stopped a lot of people, maybe all his supporters were left behind.

It seems that this proposal will definitely be passed!

“Another proposal is that, as far as I know, many elders owe a lot of debts. They are raising debts to become senators and concealing their debts. This not only harms the reputation of a senator, but also completely violates our country. The law. So I suggest that a ten-member committee be established to check this out and drive those unqualified senators out of the Senate. I have a list of the ten-member committee, and I suggest that this list be voted on.”

Li Wei said loudly.

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the Senate.

They didn’t expect that Li Wei actually intended to clean the elders, but used another method.

To know that debt is the norm for the elders, is he planning to set the table up?

“I firmly oppose it. It is the job of the inspector to check the assets of the veterans, and the committee of ten will supervise them.”

An elder said excitedly.

“Seconded.”

“Seconded.”

“…”

A famous veteran objected loudly, and Li Wei sneered. It’s up to you.

“Next, I announce to discuss the first topic. Due to time constraints, I hope that each veteran’s speech will not exceed 5 minutes. Dolabella, what’s your opinion?”

Li Wei didn’t care about them, but went directly to the topic.
