Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 42 Unlimited Jurisdiction

"How could they do this? We are Roman soldiers, and they dare to put a bounty on our heads."

"Too much, we must sue them."

"No wonder they are so desperate, if I will."

"..."

Aulus gritted his teeth, it was too much.

"Are you still fighting?"

asked a centurion.

"Of course we did. This time there are too few gaps. As long as we make more gaps, we will win."

Olus said.

"No, they're filling in the gaps."

someone said.

Olus looked back and found that some slaves were already clinging to the city wall and throwing large bags of soil towards the gap, and the gap was filled back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With no more hesitation, Olus said, "The third and fourth teams, let me go."

So these garrisons attacked the wall again, but what frightened them was that the enemy was too fierce. Although they attacked in, they were quickly killed.

Those enemies looked at them as if they were walking dinars, and they rushed towards them desperately, fearing that others would preempt them.

If it wasn't for Li Wei to stop them, they would have already rushed out of the manor.

The morale of the entire army was extremely low, and Aulus also looked helpless, what should he do.

At this time, Guta was extremely anxious. He had dragged on for so long, why hadn't Aulus breached the manor yet?

Know that time is their life.

He sent someone to investigate the situation, and after reporting back, he seemed to have lost his soul.

Unexpectedly... unexpectedly defeated.

How good this is!

At this time, a large number of people appeared in the distance.

Dozens of Capua elders, some on horseback, some in a carriage, followed by the guards and slaves at home, and many of them were armed.

Then came the great crowd of Capuan citizens, old and young, men and women, but mostly grown men.

"Senior Scipio, Senior Nias, are you all right?"

A Capuan elder said in surprise after seeing Scipio.

"It's okay. Fortunately, your people came in time, otherwise you don't know how things will end."

Scipio said gratefully.

"this is what we are supposed to do……"

"Guta, you bandits actually robbed a child's property."

At this time, one of the people behind said.

"Bandits! Robbers! Kill them all!"

"Kill them!"

"..."

The citizens following those elders suddenly became angry, and they took the stones they had prepared long ago and threw them at Guta and others.

The sudden change stunned many people. A stone hit Guta's head and woke him up.

"Vertical shield! Quickly erect the shield! Tortoise shell array!"

Guta said.

Those soldiers stepped forward immediately, put up their shields, and protected Guta and Saiyanus in the middle.

Even Scipio and the others were implicated, and they fled far away in a panic.

"Citizens of Capua, please stop and listen to me."

A Capuan elder said loudly.

But they didn't listen to him at all, and still threw all kinds of things at Guta.

"Stop it all, if you throw it again, I'll kill you!"

Guta roared loudly.

Of course, this is just a threat. If he dares to kill Roman citizens in front of many senators, no one in Rome can protect him.

"Don't listen to him, everyone, he dare not kill people."

Sure enough, there will always be expert advice from the crowd at the right time.

People continue to hold stones to them,

Someone has even rushed in the direction of Olus.

"It's over! It's over!"

Guta said that the ending is already doomed, and Aulus cannot be the opponent of these Roman citizens, even if the opponent is unarmed.

"We withdraw!"

Guta withdrew with the soldiers, and the crowd stopped after only a short distance.

Then the crowd cheered, "This is a victory for the people!"

The elders couldn't laugh or cry, but they knew that all of this was just a superficial appearance, Li Wei manipulated all of this, and they even manipulated them to send Guta and Saiyanus to the cross.

***

***

The night was as cold as water, and the bloody day finally passed.

A large number of bonfires were lit outside the manor, and Li Wei slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the citizens of Capua who came to help.

After sending Scipio and others away, Li Wei thought carefully about his gains and losses during this period, and he realized that he had underestimated these politicians, and he really dared to risk his life at a critical moment.

"Li Wei, let's not do this again in the future, why don't we find a chance to make peace with them."

Yulia said with red and swollen eyes that she didn't know how many tears she shed today because of Li Wei.

"Why do we have to make peace? Obviously we will win."

Serapio said with a smile.

Serabio didn't know where to hide that day, and he didn't show up until after the event.

"We're going to win? How is that possible?"

Julia asked suspiciously.

"You explain to him."

Levi said.

Serabio nodded, and then said: "Today's event is a big event, destined to shake the whole of Rome, and even attract the investigation of the Roman Senate. But no matter how things go, as long as the owner is willing, Guta and Saiyan Nous is an exile at the very least, and their families are doomed. Not even the Senate and the consuls can save them."

"why?"

Julia asked.

"This starts with our judicial system. Our general cases are judged by judges and juries, and when major incidents occur, the Senate can judge. But there is another special case, that is, the death penalty!"

Serabio said.

"Our law stipulates that all death sentences can only be sentenced by the People's Assembly, which includes the Citizens' Assembly and the Centuria Assembly. Moreover, the trials of the Citizens' Assembly and the Centuria Assembly (Centuria Assembly) are exclusive, that is, Their judgment is final, and not even the Roman Senate can change it. As long as we call the Capua Centurion or Citizens Assembly, then we will win."

Yulia couldn't help but suddenly realized that it's no wonder that Li Wei was desperately recruiting people some time ago. She thought it was just protecting property, but it turned out to have this function.

There are only more than 20,000 Roman male citizens in the entire city of Capua, and there are not many surrounding towns and villages.

As long as Li Wei can mobilize the relatives and friends of the guards, he can easily pull 20,000 to 30,000 horses. In fact, Li Wei didn't know this before, and he only knew it after Serabio explained it to him.

Yulia suddenly discovered a terrifying fact.

"Whether the owner sues someone, he will definitely win, even including letting them die."

"In principle it is."

Serapio said with a smile.
