Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 70 Good Luck

"Dear Consul, how dare I lie to you! Consul Cinna was indeed killed by rioting soldiers! Now the body is being transported to Rome! If I dare to lie to you, let the gods curse me!"

The soldier said in panic.

"How is this possible! How is this possible!"

Capo said angrily, is this the will of the gods?

Marius, the three giants who resisted Sulla back then, died, and Qin Na died, leaving him alone.

What on earth should he do?

Capo suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Thinking of Sulla who defeated the enemy in Greece, his pressure was increasing, and he had to unite more people to fight against Sulla.

At this time, he remembered, this young man with two legion guards.

"Call Li Wei over and say that I have something to say to him."

Capo said.

Not long after, Li Wei walked over with a puzzled look on his face.

What is Capo looking for at this time? Could it be that he was persuaded to give up suing Saiyanus, but how is this possible?

A rare smile appeared on Capo's face, and he patted Li Wei's shoulder affectionately.

"Li Wei, tell me what do you think of Sura?"

what does he mean? Although he didn't quite understand Capo's thoughts, Li Wei certainly knew how to answer.

"I don't like that person very much. I set up the guards of two legions. On the one hand, I want to protect my property. On the other hand, when I grow up, I will follow the consul to go to Greece and fight against Sula."

Li Wei said respectfully.

"It's really nice."

Capo looked relieved, "Then are you willing to form an ally with me? In the future, we will fight Sura together."

Li Wei looked confused, what does he mean by this? Why did he suddenly think of forming an ally with himself?

Didn't Purker say he was going to prevent the centurion meeting?

Could it be...

Li Wei suddenly thought of a possibility that Qin Na might be dead.

Calculating the date, it is about this time.

Only this possibility can prompt Capo to give up his support for Saiyanus.

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

Li Wei said quickly, "What about Saiyanus?"

"He covets your property. I used to do that to keep him from self-imposed exile. I actually did it to help you."

Capo smiled and said,

Li Wei almost spat out in disgust, help me? Do you really take me for a fool?

If it wasn't for Qin Na's death, it would be no wonder you would help me.

"Then can the guards of my two legions be kept?"

Levi asked.

"No problem, I will support you in the Roman Senate."

Hearing this, Li Wei verified his guess even more. Qin Na must have died to make Capo's attitude change drastically.

At this moment, Pulkel sent someone to call them, and the people below couldn't wait any longer, so the two hurried back to their places.

Li Wei found that Capo and Lupus whispered for a while, and Lupus' face changed drastically. After saying a few words, he fell silent, looking distracted.

Capo stepped up to the stage, then stared at the sky.

"Some people just don't understand and insist on going against the consul, so let me tell you in advance that today is a bad omen..."

Saiyanus said triumphantly.

But before he could finish his sentence, Capo exclaimed, "I declare today to be a good omen."

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers in the square, and some people even shouted "Long live Kabo", which made Kabo's face show a smile.

The faces of the elders were shocked. How could it be like this? Didn't he say that he would stop the centurion meeting from being held?

How did it become a good omen?

Saiyanus is like a duck with its throat choked,

The mouth is big enough to fit a duck egg.

He turned his head to look at the rostrum bit by bit with difficulty, "This...how is this possible..."

He clearly remembered that Capo told him that today must be a bad omen.

"good luck."

Li Wei did not forget to smile and stabbed him with a knife.

"Have any other officials detected ominous signs?"

Capo asked.

Li Wei put his heart in his throat again, the Roman system really restrained the conference too much.

Not only the presiding official declares the auspicious sign of heaven, but also other officials cannot object.

Several elders of the Roman Senate shook their heads, and even Lupus remained silent.

At this time, Regulus stood up in a timely manner, "The auspicious sign is auspicious."

Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, the event is settled!

"Now I announce that the Centuria Congress is officially held to judge the matter of Knight Livi's prosecution of Capua administrator Saiyanus and Campania admiral Guta."

Capo said loudly.

Guta's eyes dimmed, and his last glimmer of hope was shattered.

"I protest! Today is clearly a bad omen!"

Saiyanus was in a hurry and said loudly.

"The protest is invalid, the conference continues!"

Capo said with a dignified face.

Saiyanus almost fainted, how could things turn out like this, how could Kabo sell him.

Rome's judicial system originated in Greece. It is said that Rome sent people to Greece to study law, and it has been quite perfect by now.

Not only has the jury system, but also has the plaintiff's lawyer and the defendant's lawyer.

Of course, the jury is mainly composed of nobles and knights, sometimes all nobles, sometimes all knights, and sometimes both sides have half.

Nobles and knights fought fiercely for the jury's place.

However, the Centuria Congress is different. There is no jury here, or all citizens are members of the jury, and the crime of the accused will be judged by all the citizens present.

The square became solemn, and the plaintiff's lawyer Serabio spoke first.

Serabio had already drawn up a speech, and he accused Saiyanus and others in a cadenced tone, and called on the citizens in the square to convict them.

After the speech, Capo asked: "The defendant Saiyanus, Guta and several military tribunes, do you have anything to say?"

"I plead guilty!"

"I don't agree!"

Guta and Saiyanus said respectively.

Saiyanus stared at Guta with fiery eyes. It was this damned coward who betrayed him, but he still managed to keep him.

Guta was expressionless. He knew that whether Li Wei was willing to let him be Aulus depended on his performance.

"Silence! Silence!"

Kapo frowned and said, "Saiyanus, you go first."

"My lord consul, fellow elders, and the citizens of Capua, I absolutely do not agree with Li Wei's accusation. The reason why I appeared there was completely bewitched by Guta. He told me that Li Wei Wei and Sura colluded, and I was totally blinded."

Saiyanus said.

"I object. Saiyanus took the initiative to contact me about this matter. It was on the 5th two months ago. I remember clearly. He took the initiative to contact me at my mansion, saying that he had important matters to discuss with me. I will discuss..."

Guta said quickly.
