Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 208 Controversy

"I object, Sura is not holding any public office and has no right to a state funeral at all."

A senator said, "And Sulla marched into Rome twice. He made a very bad start and killed a large number of Roman nobles and knights. He is a dictator through and through. He is not worthy of a state funeral at all. , he is a butcher! An executioner!"

"You old bastard, why didn't you tell Sura when he was alive, you dare to say it after he is dead, I think you are a coward at all."

Dorabella said loudly.

"You... you... Dolabella, please pay attention to your image. Otherwise, be careful that the inspector will impeach you!"

Dolabella's remarks made the senator almost faint with anger.

"Don't do this to me, a sinister villain is a sinister villain."

Dorabella said disdainfully.

"In any case, he listed thousands of Roman citizens, nobles, and knights as the public enemies of Rome. He has committed many crimes. I firmly oppose the state funeral for him. And I think that the exiled nobles should be rehabilitated and all of them should be recalled. "

At this time another elder said.

"Let's talk about this matter after the vote at the Citizens' Assembly. We don't count."

Serapio said angrily.

"Yeah, let's talk about it after the voting at the citizens' meeting. I remember that the time for the citizens' meeting is coming soon. Let's see the real chapter at the citizens' meeting."

Lepidus said with a laugh.

Serrabio and the others were all pale. If Sulla survived, many Roman citizens would be afraid of Sulla, and they might not dare to support Lepidus and the others.

But now that Sulla was dead, Rome was more and more reverting to old ways.

At least the Roman citizens are very eager for the "Wheat Law", and they will definitely support Lepidus with all their strength. Things are not going well.

Things did not go beyond their expectations. Whenever Lepidus gave a speech in the square, the general public cheered enthusiastically. It seemed that the Sula faction would fail completely, which made the elders of the Sula faction very worried.

On the contrary, due to the rising public opinion of the populist faction, some veterans of the Sulla faction even began to show their favor to Lepidus, intending to jump off the big ship of the Sulla faction that was about to be torn apart.

This dealt a fatal blow to the upcoming citizen assembly, so Serabio sent another person to tell Levi the news.

"Someone defected so soon?"

Li Wei said very unhappily, what a bunch of short-sighted guys.

At the beginning, Sulla divided the labor and cooperation among the citizens who went to Rome. Some people contributed money and others contributed. Once someone defected, then these things would be messed up.

Can those exiled nobles be allowed to come back, and then take back their property?

Of course not! Those properties have been donated by Li Wei to the church or Longcheng School. This is the core of his career, and he cannot give up no matter what.

At this moment, a lot of voices suddenly came from outside.

"Report to the Patriarch, many officers from outside have come to see you."

At this time, the guard standing outside said.

"Let them in."

Levi said.

Not long after, hundreds of officers walked in with Geta, Plautus and others.

"Patriarch, we Lepidus are likely to win the Citizens' Assembly, and those exiled nobles will come back to take back their lands."

Gaita said.

"Yes, this possibility is very high."

Li Wei said with a headache on his face.

"Patriarch, we must not let them succeed! We have all fought for so many years to obtain such a little land, how can we let them get it back? We will never agree."

Geta yelled.

As the former head of the First Capua Legion, Geta still lived in Dragon City, but he definitely got the most land. Of course, he couldn't tolerate such nobles taking back their own land.

"That's right, we will never agree."

Annius and the others also shouted, they are all people who have been allocated a large amount of land, so of course they cannot tolerate this.

Hundreds of officers roared angrily, which startled Li Wei.

Li Wei couldn't help being furious, are you trying to force the palace?

But soon he thought of one thing, yes, he can definitely use this to direct one thing.

He kept thinking, and a plan soon appeared in his mind.

"You're right, we really can't agree."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me, you just follow my orders."

Everyone glanced at it, and then said loudly: "Respect the order of the master."

The controversy in the Roman Senate was spread in all directions through the "Roman Daily". The news that Lepidus's proposal to recall the exiled nobles and return their property is likely to win the Citizens' Assembly has aroused the worries of many people. .

Especially in those veteran colonial cities established in Sula, this matter has been widely spread.

Everywhere in the city and in the village the Roman Gazette was posted, which contained an analysis of these matters.

After hearing the news, those veterans of Sura were all shocked and angry.

They are all the occupants of those properties. If those properties are returned, each of them will suffer heavy losses, and even be displaced.

At this time, a news spread in these colonial cities again. Li Wei planned to plead for everyone, but he lacked support.

Hearing this, a large number of veterans traveled hundreds of miles to Longcheng to petition Li Wei, hoping that he could take care of this matter.

"Patriarch, you have to be the master of this matter for us. I fought with you for Sura for two years, and I even limped my feet. It was hard to get a little land, so that I can get enough food and clothing. If the land is taken back, then I will Got to be on the street."

A centurion said pitifully.

Hearing this, Li Wei frowned.

Because of his bravery in battle, the centurion allocated a lot of land, and bought at least a dozen slaves to cultivate the land. That little life was a nourishment, which is not as miserable as he said.

But he still had a heartache on his face, "You are very reasonable, but you are not ignorant of my situation. Recently, Lepidus is going to sue me at the citizens' meeting, and I can't leave the defense zone without authorization, otherwise it will be another Sin."

"That bastard Lepidus pretended to be Su La's cronies back then. Now he wants to take our land. He really deserves death. We have already discussed that we will not leave this time when we go to Rome, unless Lei Bida dropped the lawsuit against you and publicly apologized to you."

Another military tribune said solemnly.

This military tribune belonged to Sura's army, and many of them also came to Dragon City after hearing the news.

Hearing this, Li Wei was even more satisfied.

But still with a reserved look on his face, "This is not very good."

Camillus, who was not far away, looked contemptuous, pretending, you continue to pretend for me.

"What's wrong, the big guys have discussed it a long time ago, and this time I must give you a sigh of relief."
