Roman Slave Owner

"Li Wei, you know this is impossible! You are an ally of Pompey, and you cannot betray him."

Menmuse tried to suppress his anger and said.

"Aha, it turns out that you still know that I am an ally of Pompey. I thought you had forgotten it long ago. Now that you need me, just say that I am an ally of Pompey. If you don't need me, just kick me aside .”

Li Wei said with a sneer.

"Li Wei, you know that Metellus is Pompey's father-in-law, you can't let me take action against Pompey's father-in-law."

Menmuse said.

"So those veterans under your hand shot at me?"

"That's their own decision."

"Menmuse, don't play tricks with me. You know what I want, give me what I want, and Pompey will send no less men and supplies than I need. If I don't get what I want Yes, let me go to Spain to fight in Pompey's place."

Levi said.

"Li Wei, I hope you can think about it carefully."

"This is the result of my consideration."

Menmuse sighed for a long time, "Okay then, I will tell Pompey about this and wait for my news."

"You better go faster."

"Li Wei, can we do this?"

After Menmuse left, Geta asked.

"It's all up to this point, so there's nothing good or bad about it."

Levi said.

He was sure that Pompey and Crassus were aware of these matters, and cooperated with Metellus very tacitly.

Lebiris finally announced his self-exile. The news caused a sensation in Rome, and some people even poured a lot of dirty water on Li Wei.

However, people have also seen Li Wei's fierce counterattack, and some veterans are not willing to get involved in this muddy water.

The ten-member committee finally came back, and after reporting at the senate meeting, all the elders talked a lot.

Serabio and others protested angrily, because the content of the report pointed to Levi intentionally or unintentionally.

A faint smile appeared on Metellus's face, and then he gave Sidigus a wink.

Sidious nodded knowingly, then stood up with a smile: "Seniors, everyone knows the content of the report. It is a pity that a respectable person seems to be involved in this bribery case. Although I don't quite believe it, I still think that this matter should be brought to light, and the people have the right to know the truth!"

"And I have received some reports that the military expenses of 300 talents during Li Wei's expedition to the East are unknown."

There was a bang in the Senate, as if a frying pan had exploded, and Sidhigus really pointed the finger at Li Wei.

"Sidigus, do you know what you are doing? You are slandering the heroes of the Romans!"

Serapio said angrily.

"Damn you, Sidhigus!"

"Sidigus, you are a vile viper!"

"..."

Many elders shouted loudly,

Among them were Li Wei's followers, some elders who owed Li Wei money, and some neutral elders.

Although they didn't want to see Li Wei's power being extremely powerful, they also didn't want to see Li Wei being so slandered. They felt that Sidigus was too much.

Sidhigus' face was ashen, and some people even scolded him directly, whether he still has the demeanor that a veteran should have.

A faint smile appeared on Metellus's face, and he shrank back quietly.

"Silence! Silence! Note that this is the Senate, please pay attention to your appearance!"

Sidious said loudly.

"Get out! I swear against you!"

Some elders cursed loudly.

Seeing that he couldn't control the scene, Sidious said loudly: "Guards! Guards!"

Several guards heard the shouts and were about to go in, only to find Geta blocking the passageway.

"Geta Tribune, please step aside."

said a guard.

"You can't go there."

Geta said coldly.

The guards couldn't help looking at each other. The tribunes of the populace had the sacred duty of guarding the passage.

Geta won't let them pass, and they really can't.

If they insisted, they could be charged with assaulting a tribune of the populace, which was a capital offense.

Seeing Geta blocking the guards, Sidhigus sneered again and again.

What's the use of you, can't the guards stop him from prosecuting Levi if he doesn't come over.

"Sidigus, are you sure you want to do this?"

Serapio asked with a cold face.

"Yes, I just want to give people a truth."

Sidious said humbly, while giving him a defiant look.

"Do you know that according to the teachings of the holy religion, the prophet is the spokesperson of the true God in the world. The prophet you slandered is blasphemy!"

Serabio said.

Sidhigus was slightly taken aback, he did not expect such a statement.

But so what, will the Senate recognize the teachings of the Holy Church?

"If you think I'm blasphemy, you can invite the Delphic oracle. I'm a devout follower of the Roman Catholic Church."

Sidious said disdainfully.

"Very well, you are dead."

Serapio said coldly.

Sidious snorted coldly, he was not afraid of them.

"Senior Metellus, as a consul, I suspect that you were corrupt and accepted bribes during your tenure as the governor of Shannan Gaul. I request the Senate to investigate this."

Serabio said.

"casual."

Metellus said lightly, have you finally reached this point?

The meeting of the Senate finally ended in chaos, and then it spread at an astonishing speed.

Almost all the Romans were extremely shocked, and it was simply unbelievable that someone would sue Li Wei.

In Li Wei's villa, after listening to everyone's words, Li Wei's face was very calm, and he had already been mentally prepared for this.

"Tomorrow Sidigus will hold another senate meeting and decide to call you to the senate for investigation."

"Tell them I'm not going."

Li Wei said lightly.

Serapio opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end, just like Scipio did in those days.

"I am the prophet of the holy religion, and I represent the holy religion, and the holy religion cannot be insulted."

Li Wei said coldly.

He wondered what to do? It is to let the veterans break their dog heads like Pompey and Caesar, or simply assassinate them.

This is indeed a good idea, but it is too low.

So he decided to follow his method, and he could further promote the holy religion and harvest a wave of faith.

"So what are we going to do? Sue him?"

Serabio said.

"It's too cheap to sue him. At most, he's exile, so don't sue. And we may not win. If we lose, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Holy Church. I have my own opinion on this."

Li Wei said, "By the way, what do you think of the conditions for agreeing to those veterans?"

"this……"

Serabio knew what Li Wei was talking about, and now, at the time of the transition, some veterans came to his door, hoping that Li Wei's retainers, tenants, veterans and even believers could support them.

This is the largest resource in Li Wei's hands, and Li Wei said at the time that it could be considered.

Now that he is in trouble at home and abroad, if he distributes these resources to his retainers, it may be even more difficult to get through.

Seeing Serapio's reluctance to answer, Li Wei smiled and said, "You don't want to offend them?"

Serapio smiled mischievously, those treasurers, tribunes of the people, and justices were like carrots and pits, and I don’t know how many retainers were staring at them.

If he knew that he agreed to give these positions to other people, he would definitely scold him behind his back.

"If we only keep the civilian tribunes and give up all other positions, how many elders do you think we can win over?"

Levi asked.

"There are at least 20 more, and if the operation is good, there may be 30."

Serabio said.

More than 20 people, plus the elders controlled by Pompey, were able to regain more than half of the Senate.

"Promise them we will keep only the tribunes of the populace."

Li Wei said, "No matter what, I can't let Napos go, I must make old Metellus pay the price."

"All right."

Serapio let out a long sigh of relief, this villain can only be done by Li Wei.

The next day was sunny and sunny.

Some people were giving speeches in the Civic Square. At the time when the new consul, treasurer, and civilian tribune were born, many people were desperately trying to win the support of the Roman citizens.

At this moment, Li Wei appeared on the Civic Square with some guards.

Seeing Levi, many people were very excited.

Although Li Wei has been on the cusp of the storm, many people still support Li Wei very much. They are his admirers.

They surrounded Li Wei and expressed their love for Li Wei.

"Everyone, today I am here to announce a divine prophecy, and just last night, the true god issued another divine prophecy to me."

Levi said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Some people looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect that Li Wei came to announce the divine metaphor.

"The behavior of Sidhigus has angered the true god. The true god said that war will sweep Rome and the honor of the Romans will be tarnished. This is the punishment for the Romans."

Levi said.

The crowd couldn't help being in an uproar, they didn't expect that the true god would issue such a metaphor.

"Prophet, who will defeat the Romans?"

someone asked.

"This true god did not give clear instructions."

Li Wei said, "In addition, as a prophet, I declare that Sidhigus is the public enemy of the Holy Church and a blasphemer. All believers of the Holy Church must not support him or trade with him, and he should be cursed. Those who violate it will be expelled from the church. "

Li Wei continued, and after finishing speaking, he ignored the inquiries of the Roman citizens and left here with his guards.

What happened in the square quickly spread, causing people to talk about it.

The first oracle of the true god enabled Li Wei to conquer the east, and then conquered a vast area.

The second oracle is so terrifying that the whole of Rome is about to fall into flames of war. Is this true?

"I really don't know what it means. Could it be that he only uses divine metaphors to scare people?"

After learning the news, Sidhigus said angrily, "If he doesn't come to the Senate for investigation, we must not just let it go."

How dare you declare yourself a blasphemer, and let so many people curse him, it's too much.

Metellus also found it very strange. If he were Li Wei, he would have many ways to deal with it, but he didn't expect Li Wei to declare Sidhigus a blasphemer.

Metellus said: "That's true, you can block his door."

"Don't be joking, so Geta will definitely fight desperately."

Said Sidious.

The others dared not beat him, but Geta absolutely did, because Geta was also a tribune of the people.

"What are you afraid of? If you need manpower, I can support you."

Metellus urged.

Sidhigus shook his head. Metellus, an old guy, has bad intentions. He was using a gun to make him so stupid.

The reason why he dared to deal with Li Wei was because Li Wei was not crazy yet, and was still following the rules. Once he was pushed into a hurry, he would use any means.

"You can invite the oracle of Delphi, and only the oracle can deal with it. Look how bad Napos's situation is, maybe he will be kicked out of the Senate."

said Sidious, laughing, prodding him a little.

Metellus' face darkened immediately, but he shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate. The two major religions are not suitable for direct confrontation."

"What are you afraid of? How can the Holy Church be our opponent? Our Roman Catholicism is the mainstream."

Metellus shook his head. Li Wei is the prophet and founder of the holy religion. Once he uses the oracle of Delphi to deal with him, the consequences are really unpredictable, and the two finally broke up.

***

On the Civic Square, a veteran is desperately promoting to the public, hoping that everyone will support him as a judge.

At this time, a person dressed as a priest suddenly asked in the crowd: "This senator, what do you think of Sidhigus suing the prophet? Do you support Sidhigus?"

The elder turned his eyes and said immediately: "I firmly oppose Sidhigus's approach. I never believe that Li Wei will be corrupt. This is a slander against Li Wei."

Then the elder began to attack Sidhigus wantonly. The Holy Church claimed that there were 160,000 believers in Rome, including 40,000 citizens. As for the entire Roman territory, there were 200,000 Roman citizen believers.

He was crazy to choose to support Sidhigus, of course he tried every means to win the support of these believers.

Moreover, he made a deal with Li Wei behind the scenes. Li Wei promised to mobilize 5,000 tenant farmers to support him, and it was reasonable to oppose Sidigus.

"Actually, I have always had a good impression of the Holy Communion, and I am also a staunch supporter of Levi."

Afterwards, the veteran did not forget to sum up.

The priest nodded in satisfaction, then walked over to the others who were speaking and asked them the same question.

Those people also made the same choice, not even one who supported Sidhigus.

After Levy declared him an enemy of the Holy Church, only a fool would take a chance on the fire.

The "Roman Gazette" immediately reported on the matter, and almost everyone was attacking Sidious, and they were famous.

After learning of this incident, Sidhigus couldn't help being furious.

"Bastards! They are all a bunch of bastards! How could they do this!"

As a person who knows how to please the people, he certainly knows the dire consequences of this going on.

If everyone attacks him, as the saying goes, he will be destroyed and his bones will be condemned by thousands of people, and he will die without disease.
