Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 63: The Fortune Teller

"Remember that manor, I want it tomorrow."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"you you……"

Saiyanus' face immediately turned dark, as if he was constipated.

But in the end, he could only agree, this damn bastard, why didn't he die.

In the dark night, a large number of torches were burning in Levi's manor, and teams of guards led hounds to patrol the night.

After Li Wei's emphasis, the security work of the manor was upgraded again.

In one of the halls, a huge chandelier composed of 14 wicks illuminates the entire hall extremely brightly, and olive oil is burning quietly with crackling sounds.

Li Wei's face was very unhappy. He was waiting for the return of those who were taken away by Capo for questioning. It was already dark, but they hadn't come back yet.

"Patriarch, you don't have to worry. What Kabo wants to know most is whether you have any connection with Sura. This is very important to him and Qin Na. He will not favoritism on this point."

Serapio comforted him.

"I see."

Li Wei sighed and said.

It makes sense, but politics is very dark. Look at what Marius did after he occupied Rome, right?

Killed a large number of senators and knights, did they oppose Marius? No!

Just because they failed to prevent Sulla from passing a bill persecuting him, he took it upon them to kill in Rome, and even his relatives, the two uncles of Julius Caesar, were killed.

What is he, Li Wei? If it weren't for the guards of the two legions, he can guarantee that the first thing Capo came to Capua would be to ask for his head.

Therefore, we must strengthen the loyalty education of the guards, and we must never let the guards have what happened last time.

"What's the matter with that fortune teller, why did he fight me?"

At this time, Li Wei remembered what old Tullius said in the arena today. After asking old Tullius, it was a ghost made by a fortune teller.

As for the ominous omen, Li Wei didn't believe it at all. The history books of later generations were clearly written about what divination was, and nobles and knights fought for a long time for the right to divination.

Unlike the priests in the East, the priests in Rome are like a position rather than a profession. They are no different from civilians and officials except for divination.

Just like Caesar once served as the highest priest and high priest in Rome (also translated as the chief priest), seduced other people's wives, and borrowed money wantonly. He was no different from ordinary people, and even his moral level was not as good as ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Wei has no respect for those sacrifices.

"His name is Regulus. He was originally a poor nobleman. His ancestors came from Rome and moved to Capua about fifty years ago..."

Serabio introduced the augur.

After the Punic War, because Capua took refuge in Hannibal, the aborigines of Capua were either reduced to slaves or deprived of their citizenship rights. The current citizens of Capua basically moved from other places, including Li The same goes for Vi's family.

After listening to Serapio's introduction, he had a certain understanding of Regulus.

This is the struggle history of a down-and-out nobleman. Although the family was poor at the time, their noble status was very popular.

Especially in a small place like Capua, this family married a wealthy knight family.

This is the favorite thing for the down-and-out nobles and knights to do. The knights get the so-called "noble" blood, and the down-and-out nobles get financial support, which not only alleviates the plight of their own family, but even has a chance to make a comeback.

The combination of Mario and Caesar's aunt is an example. The history of the Caesar family can be traced back to the founding of Rome.

The mother of Romulus (also translated as Romulus, etc.), the king who founded the city of Rome, was the daughter of the king of Aruba.

At that time, the Julius family was a prominent family in the Kingdom of Aruba.

A century later, Rome broke through the Kingdom of Aruba, and all the nobles of the Kingdom of Aruba were forced to move to live in Rome.

The Romans did not make them slaves, but let them continue to be nobles, including the Julius family.

Later, the Caesar family gradually declined, and Caesar was born in a civilian area. He couldn't even afford Greek slaves as teachers.

Although Marius was born as a commoner, he has already achieved great success, not only becoming a judge, but also serving as the governor of Spain.

However, his career as a commoner was not smooth sailing, and he was squeezed out by the elders and aristocrats countless times.

Not only did he fail in the competition for the mayor, but even the competition for the judge was in jeopardy.

So he learned from the painful experience and married Yulia, the aunt of Caesar the Great, from the Caesar family, a down-and-out noble at that time.

Facts have proved that this is a win-win decision. Since then, Mario's official career has been extremely smooth, and he was elected consul seven times, the most elected consul in Roman history.

The Caesar family also rose again with the help of Marius' prestige. One of Caesar's uncles was elected consul, and even Caesar's father became a judge.

Even though Marius killed Caesar's two uncles, Caesar still used Marius' prestige to promote his official career a few years later.

The same goes for the down-and-out nobleman. They used the wealth of the knight family, and this family has a rising trend again, of course it's just a trend.

If Li Wei wanted to, he could slap him into the dust with one slap.

This is not arrogance, but extreme self-confidence.

"I'm just so easy to talk, he is afraid of Saiyanus, but not me."

Li Wei said with a sneer.

"Probably Qin Na and Capo stood behind Saiyanus, which gave him an illusion."

Serabio said.

"It seems that we have to find a chance to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey."

Levi said.

Serapio couldn't help being startled, what does it mean to kill a chicken for the monkey to see?

"Activate all our relationships, and check the details of this Regulus for me."

Levi said, "I want to know what mistakes he has made, and his relatives."

"I see."

Serabio said.

Even if the astrologer is dealt with, Capo still has the ability to prevent his centurion meeting from being held. Thinking of this, Li Wei has a headache.

What on earth should he do? Do you take one step at a time?

Absolutely not like this! He must take the initiative!

Li Wei kept thinking, and finally came up with a good idea.

After hearing his strategy, Serabio also felt that it was very reliable, even if it failed, there would be no loss.

So under the perfection of the two, the feasibility of this strategy is getting higher and higher.

At this time, there was a sound from outside. Lebiris and the others came back, but not all of them came back.

Yulia and Geta were still detained there, which made Li Wei almost curse out of anger.

He wasn't too worried about Geta, even if a big man suffers a little bit, it's nothing.

But Yulia was a woman, and he hoped nothing would happen, so he immediately called for a centurion.
