Roman Slave Owner

Inside the Vatican, golden sunlight shines through the glass.

Li Wei stood by the window, listening to Bruttim's report.

"So those nobles and knights are very dissatisfied with me."

Li Wei said lightly.

"Yes, they all support Metellus."

Bruttim said respectfully.

Li Wei was silent for a while, and he kept ordering Brutium to pay attention to the reactions of the people and dignitaries.

The reactions of the people and the dignitaries were diametrically opposed. The people were extremely supportive of his actions, while the nobles and knights were all against him.

He knew that public opinion was important, but nobles and knights had to be wooed, because they were the real rulers of Rome.

Once the nobles and knights opposed him, he would never want to control the Senate again, and he would even struggle in Rome.

"Find a way to ask those knights and nobles to come out and meet, and I will explain this to them personally."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Obey, Patriarch."

Brutium said.

"What's going on with Mucia?"

Levi asked.

"She has an appointment with one of her concubines to-morrow."

"Really, you must seize this opportunity. Remember, there is only one opportunity in many cases."

Levi laughed.

"Obey, Patriarch."

Brutium said, and left here.

Li Wei sighed softly, but Pompey shouldn't be too surprised by his gift.

In a residence in Suburra District, Brutium was giving tasks to a dozen men who looked very capable.

"Our mission today is very important, we must succeed. Don't expect another chance. Failure today means failure forever. Don't take chances, understand?"

Bruttim said with a serious face.

"Understood."

"Understood."

"..."

Those tough men said that they were extremely excited when they thought of today's mission.

Catch Pompeo's wife having an affair, why not make people excited?

Brutim nodded. These men are all elite soldiers selected by him, each of them is the elite of the intelligence team, and they have specially practiced many times. I believe they will have an extraordinary performance today.

"You have all stepped on that residence, and you already know this residence very well. Now let me tell you about their activities. Mucia will bring a maid every time she comes, and little Labinus will also bring A slave, and these two are watchmen for them."

"They usually stay in this residence for about two hours before leaving. We need to make sure that they have done that before we start to act, and we need to make sure that we leave evidence."

"This time we are going to pretend to be a robbery. You must act professionally, pretending to be a robber, and accidentally encountered this incident..."

Brutium kept talking.

Those men also listened attentively, and occasionally there would be smiles on their faces that men could understand.

After finishing speaking, Bruttim thrust a dagger into the table, and said viciously.

"Remember, the bigger the trouble today, the better. But you must make today's affairs rotten to your stomach. If anyone dares to reveal a little bit, you will all die. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"clear!"

"..."

Those men quickly said with serious faces that they knew the intelligence team's capabilities very well. Unless they remained anonymous for the rest of their lives, exposure would mean death.

"Okay, let's start preparing now."

Brutium said.

While those people were getting ready, Brutium also started putting on makeup.

He glued a beard on himself, got scars on his face, and put on Arab clothes to look like an Arab.

Then began a long wait, they chatted quietly, only Brutium looked outside occasionally.

At this moment, there was a hawker's cries from outside, which was the signal for the target to appear.

"Here we come! Don't even talk!"

Brutium said.

Those men stopped chatting one after another, and then closed their eyes to rest.

At this moment, two men walked past, and they came to a house diagonally opposite.

A young man dressed as a slave opened the door of the house, and the two walked in.

Not long after, two women wearing veils walked through below and walked into the gate of the house.

Bruttim whistled lightly, made a success gesture, and then waited for a long time.

***

Augustinus was a slave of the Labienus family and had been a Labienus slave since his grandfather's grandfather.

Different from other slaves, starting from his grandfather, their family has gradually been trusted by the Labinus family, and has assumed various important responsibilities of Labinus.

In his generation, he was chosen by Labinus to be his son's personal male slave, and grew up with his son.

Of course, Augustinus knew that this was a great honor, because the personal male slaves were often the most trusted by the master, and the master would entrust the most private matters to them.

If nothing else, after Labinus Jr. inherits the family business, he will become the steward of the Labinus family.

He even had the chance to be free, something Augustinus had always longed for.

What made him regret was that although the young Labinus was handsome and unrestrained, he had received a complete aristocratic education since he was a child, and he was a personable person.

It's a pity that there is a problem that is not a problem, and that is lust.

Although he was married, he had secret relationships with several Roman ladies.

Of course, this is the normal state of Roman nobles. How many nobles are not like this?

But what worried him was that he hooked up with Pompeo's wife.

You must know that Pompey, as the current consul and one of the three giants of Rome, has a high position and power, and he is not a person to be trifled with.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and Augustinus still guarded the gate for them faithfully.

At this moment, faint groans came from upstairs, which set Augustinus's heart on fire.

This is Pompey's wife, it's exciting to think about it.

He walked back and forth a little anxiously, glanced at the female slave who was busy around in the distance with a strange look, and then sighed long.

Ten minutes later, the upstairs also gradually calmed down, and Augustinus calmed down the fiery heart.

But not long after, a strange voice came from upstairs again, and Augustinus cursed secretly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Augustinus immediately became vigilant. Instead of opening the door, he asked behind the door, "Who is it?"

This is an iron gate, and it is completely impossible to see the situation inside from the outside. It is extremely private, which is one of the reasons why Labinus Jr. bought this house for trysts.

"Hello, I'm a neighbor nearby, can I have the honor to meet the owner of this house?"

A hearty voice came from outside the door.

"Sorry, I'm not interested, please don't disturb us."

Augustinus said coldly.

"But... I seem to have seen little Labinus come in here just now. I am the younger brother of his friend Priscus. Was it him who came in just now?"

The voice continued.

Augustinus couldn't help frowning. Priscus was indeed a friend of Labinus Jr., but the relationship was very ordinary.

I didn't expect his younger brother to live here, which was really a surprise.

"I'm very humble, you probably have the wrong person."

Augustinus thought for a while and said.

"You are Augustinus? I recognize your voice, don't I?"

The voice continued.

Augustinus's heart was in a mess. For gods, no matter how many times he went out, he couldn't meet any acquaintances, and he even recognized his voice.

Should he remind the master that disturbing the master at this juncture is likely to anger the master.

At this moment, there was a scream from behind.

Augustinus looked back and saw several men wearing silver masks crawling out of a tunnel, and three of them were rushing towards this side, holding a gleaming dagger in their hands.

Augustinus couldn't help exclaiming, how could there be a tunnel here.

"Don't bark! If you bark again, I'll kill you!"

A man said in a deep voice, and then pointed the dagger at his chest.

Augustinus quickly raised his hand, hesitating whether to remind the people outside, maybe he can call the police for himself.

At this time, a person had already stuffed his mouth with a rag, then covered his eyes with a black cloth, and tied him tightly.

"If you want to live, don't say or do anything."

A masked man tied him up and whispered in his ear.

Augustinus nodded hastily, hoping that the people outside the door are smart enough to discover the abnormality inside.

At this moment, the door was opened.

Augustinus's heart was cold, the man outside was actually with them, the more he thought about it, the more frightening he became.

Several masked men dragged him into a room and tied him to a table.

He also heard a murmur not far away, which seemed to be the voice of Mucia's maid.

In addition, there were a few breathing sounds, and they just stood here quietly without any communication.

Augustinus became more and more terrified, who are they? It doesn't look like a robber at all.

Several masked men stooped up to the attic, and there seemed to be no movement outside, and they were still immersed in the intense exercise.

One of them signaled them not to move.

So they all hid themselves, and then remained motionless, as if there was no one there, only the loud voices inside.

When they reached the peak, one of them made a gesture suddenly, and then the two of them stepped forward and kicked down the door fiercely, and there was a sudden scream from inside.

A pair of naked men and women are looking at the rushing person in fear in a very easy-to-harmonize posture. The room is in chaos, clothes are thrown everywhere, and there is even a smell in the room. A strange taste.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

A red-haired masked man with a foreign accent said exaggeratedly.

Then the other men laughed.

"I don't know if he can hold that thing up in the future."

One said with a big laugh.

"What are you going to do?"

Little Labinus was about to collapse, how could this happen.

"Stop the fucking bullshit, hand over all the money or we'll kill you."

The masked man with the red beard said viciously.

Both Labinus Jr. and Mucia breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a robbery, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Several masked men rushed forward and tied them up. Labinus and Mucia did not resist and let them get themselves up.

Then some people have already started to act, they rummaged around, looking for all their belongings.

At this moment, a masked man walked towards Mucia with lewd eyes, causing Mucia to scream in fright.

"Bastard! If you scream any more, I'll kill you!"

A masked man slapped her hard and said, then found a rag and stuffed them into their mouths.

Another person stopped the masked man with a lewd face, "We only rob money, not sex."

The masked man hummed twice, and finally agreed.

"Remember, I'm going to get the cloth out of your mouth next, you'd better yell, or you'll end up like this."

The man with the red beard and mask stepped forward, said to little Labinus, and then slammed the dagger into his hand.

Little Labinus uttered a scream, but luckily he was stuffed with cloth, so it didn't spread far.

He nodded desperately, and then looked at his hands in horror, from which a large amount of blood was flowing.

These robbers are really cruel!

"Tell me where is your money?"

The man with the red beard mask asked.

Labinus Jr. quickly handed over his and Mucia's money to them, since this was just a place for a tryst and there was not much money at all, which of course made the robbers very dissatisfied.

"Bastard! Are you lying to us? You only have so little money?"

The red-bearded masked man slapped little Rabinus hard and said, making little Rabinus dizzy. His face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his handsome face had long since disappeared.

Little Labinus wanted to cry, "Everyone, my family really only has this little money. If I have money, I will definitely give it to you. Why don't I ask my slave to take you to withdraw the money?"

The red-bearded man became even more angry, and gave him a slap in the face, "Do you think we are fools? You let slaves take us to withdraw money?"

At this moment, a masked man suddenly rushed in from the outside, he said excitedly: "Boss, we have caught a big fish. The slaves downstairs are recruited, you must not have thought of their identities?"

Hearing this, little Labinus and Mucia felt desperate, don't do it.

"What are their identities?"

The man with the red beard mask said doubtfully.

"He said that the man was Labinus Jr., the son of the patriarch Labinus, and the woman was Mucia, the wife of Pompey, the current consul and one of the three giants of Rome."

The room was silent at first, and then the masked men were shocked.

"This is impossible!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"..."

Little Labinus looked desperate, and Murcia fainted directly.
