Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 44 Prosecution

"We should send more people to escort, lest Li Wei send people to intercept."

Guta Road.

"You're right, I didn't think carefully."

Saiyanus thought for a while and said.

Guta called some guards and asked them to prepare to send the letters to Rome overnight.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Olus asked.

"Are you going to send it so late?"

"Of course, we are racing against time, and this time things really went wrong."

Guta said solemnly.

"Don't worry, with Consul Qin Na standing on our platform, he will definitely not dare to do anything to us."

Saiyanus said with a smile, but Guta found that his smile was a bit far-fetched, he was definitely not as confident as he appeared on the surface.

After Saiyanus left, Guta said to Aulus: "I will remove your military status in the past few days. You should prepare and go to Egypt with your mother in a few days. I haven't received any letters from me. , never come back."

Aulus looked remorseful: "Father, it's all my fault."

He also knew the seriousness of the matter, he was not Guta, and Li Wei would never let him go.

"It doesn't matter, the big deal is exile, and it's not about life and death."

Guta said with a wry smile.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time that he was cheated. At this time, he regretted a little. Maybe he should have been stricter with Aulus before.

***

The next morning, everyone knew what happened at Levi's estate.

Guta mobilized the garrison to encircle and suppress Li Wei, and some people said that it was to snatch Li Wei's sugar formula. More than 400 people died in the battle between the two sides.

All kinds of gossips are flying all over the sky, and the whole Capua is in panic.

Serapio sat on a shoulder carried by eight slaves, with hundreds of guards sent by Li Wei guarding him.

All kinds of nasty things happened in Rome in the middle and late Rome.

For example, the Gracchi brothers who carried out reforms were murdered, and the very famous Cato Jr. once went to the Mars Square to compete, but Pompey sent people to lock him up in the small black room. This shows the darkness of politics.

For Serabio's safety, Li Wei sent a large number of guards to protect him.

Serabio is very proud of this, and the days of this kind of angry horses in fresh clothes, shouting and embracing, are exactly what he has dreamed of.

Moreover, Li Wei also promised him that as long as Saiyanus is eliminated, this year's Capua administrator belongs to him, and no one can take it away.

How can this make him not ecstatic, this is his dream, so he decided to do things for Levi wholeheartedly.

After arriving at the Capua Senate, all the elders were already waiting for him here.

Today he will speak on Livy's behalf, calling for a Congress of Senduria to hold a public trial for Guta and Seianus.

Seeing those complicated gazes, Sera smiled slightly, "Dear elders, an extremely evil thing happened yesterday in a manor belonging to minors. Our Capua administrator Saiyanus And Campania Admiral Guta coveted the minor's property, and even sent troops to snatch it, causing the death of more than 400 Roman citizens..."

As an excellent lawyer, Serabio's speech was rhythmic and powerful.

The elders listened carefully to his words, and soon they were surprised.

Li Wei actually planned to prosecute Guta and Saiyanus at the centurion meeting, not the citizen assembly where he had an absolute advantage.

why is that?

Soon they understood why, and gasped.

Li Wei really hated them, and was willing to give up his advantage in order to lure them to stay for trial.

Old Tullius rubbed his swollen head, he didn't want to see this scene from the bottom of his heart.

Because this represents the arrival of Levi's era,

Whether it is him or those veterans, their lives will be in Li Wei's hands.

But there was nothing he could do to stop it, and now his time was numbered, little Tullius hadn't grown up yet, and he had to make a super-heavyweight ally for him in Capua's transition of power.

"My dear senators, the above is the wish of me and my plaintiff, the honorable knight Levi. Justice must be done, and evil must be punished. We hope that the senate will support our decision to call a meeting of the centurion. The case will go to trial.”

The Senate was quiet for a while, then several applause broke out, and finally the applause became louder and louder, resounding throughout the Senate.

The corner of Serapio's mouth curled slightly, this is the taste of power, even the elders have to bow their heads.

"I think Serabio is absolutely right that the impact of this incident is so bad that the entire population of Capua must be brought to trial."

"That's great, Saiyanus and Guta must be punished as they deserve."

"..."

All the elders praised.

After a long time, the speeches of the elders finally stopped.

I don't know how many people are lamenting in their hearts, the rise of Li Wei is already unstoppable.

"I now declare a vote on this matter."

said old Tullius.

"I support."

"..."

"85 votes in favor, 8 abstentions, 7 against. Finally I announce that the Senate of Capua supports the public trial of the Capuan administrator Seianus and the admiral of Campania at the Congress of Centuria, time Just after the 16th.”

"Another thing is that some of our patriarch's disciples have asked the military tribunes Aulus and the military tribunes Mato, the military tribunes... They demanded a public assembly and sentenced them to death. And I hope that Let the criminal officials send people to temporarily detain them to prevent them from escaping."

Serabio continued.

There was no public prosecutor system in ancient Rome, and everything was prosecuted by private individuals, and some people also sued celebrities as a means of fame.

Li Wei didn't want to come forward in this matter himself, so he asked a few followers to come forward and sue.

"No problem, I support this resolution."

"I support."

"..."

They were not surprised that Li Wei would sue Olus, but they did not expect to sue several other military tribunes.

"I still have a few cases here, involving the administrator's wife and several relatives, several relatives of the admiral of Campania and some followers, a total of 13 people, I hope to be tried by the Grand Duke."

Serabio continued.

13 people!

All the elders took a breath, and Li Wei used his unlimited judicial power again.

This is killing the whole family!

"Are they all... death sentences?"

A famous elder said in a trembling tone.

"That's right."

Serapio said lightly.

"This... isn't it too much?"

Another elder said.

"I remember that your son seems to have married a relative of the administrator. Are you dissatisfied with our decision?"

Serapio glanced at him and said.
