Roman Slave Owner

It's just that he didn't wear his commander's red cape, but was just dressed as an ordinary officer.

At this time, Li Wei could be said to be furious. This damned Publius dared to speak ill of him in front of so many officers. He was simply damned!

"How long has he been doing this?"

Li Wei asked with a sullen face.

"I didn't know it at first, but then I inquired about it. It's been at least a year."

Lucias said in a low voice.

"boom!"

Li Wei slapped the table in front of him fiercely angrily. If nothing else happened, it started from the day when usury was restricted.

He remembered that he had warned their brothers that he let them go because of Claudia's face, but he didn't expect that they would not repent at all.

The sound he made attracted the attention of many people, including Publius and several officers next to him.

Publius looked at Lucias in surprise, this person looks familiar...

No, he is Lucias, Livi's adjutant.

Publius' face changed drastically, so who is sitting next to him? The back looks more and more familiar.

At this time, Li Wei turned his head with a cold expression.

It really was... him!

"General... Army!"

A centurion said with a look of fear.

He never thought that Li Wei would appear here, and they were still arranging him just now.

The other officers also stood up, looking at Li Wei uneasily.

Li Wei stared at Publius, and then asked loudly: "Tell me, did Lucullus really say that we robbed 50,000 talents?"

Publius blushed and turned pale, and finally said in his heart: "Yes, he did say that."

"Do you want me to call him over to confront him!"

Li Wei said angrily, who does this guy think he is? How dare he lie to his face.

No wonder he caused trouble for the Pulkel family, and seduced Caesar's wife, and even wanted to kill him.

"Even if he comes, he dare not tell the truth. You are a general, how dare he offend you."

Publius said.

At this time, more and more soldiers gathered, and when they saw the conflict between Li Wei and Publius, they all remained silent.

After Publius' continuous brainwashing over the past year, many of them thought that Li Wei had embezzled a lot of money.

If it wasn't for the victory to cover up all the contradictions, they would have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Li Wei.

"All the trophies are counted by two treasurers, who are appointed by the Senate. If you don't trust the general, you have to trust the two treasurers."

At this time Lucias said.

When the Roman army went out, the senate would appoint a treasurer to help the general handle various financial and logistical issues, and at the same time have supervisory duties. For example, Luculus was the treasurer of Sulla, and Marius fought against the Numidian king Jugurta At that time, Sulla was Marius' treasurer.

However, because Li Wei's army was too large, the Senate appointed two treasurers.

"They have already been bought by you."

Publius said.

Hearing this, Li Wei really became murderous.

He decided to kill Publius this time, even if he was Claudia's younger brother.

Now that he had made up his mind, his face calmed down instead.

Publius' heart suddenly jumped, he knew that he had offended Li Wei to death this time, maybe he was going to kill himself.

Seeing more and more soldiers gathered around, Li Wei said loudly: "Dear Roman soldiers, I never knew that when the Roman army achieved such a great victory, there were people who slandered me like this behind my back. We did get a lot of A lot of valuables are being liquidated, and a lot of that wealth will be handed over to the state.”

Those soldiers listened to Li Wei's words silently. They understood this truth, but they were more concerned about how much money they could get, which was their biggest purpose of joining the army.

"However, I assure you that each of you can get at least 2,000 dinars of wealth."

Levi said loudly.

Hearing this, the soldiers were extremely shocked.

2000 dinars?

There are so many!

You must know that the annual salary of Roman soldiers is only 112 dinars, and they have to prepare their own food. They can't save money every year, and they may have to pay back.

This 2,000 dinars is almost the greatest wealth they can get in their lifetime!

Many Roman soldiers talked excitedly, and their dissatisfaction with Li Wei was swept away. The lovely dinar is enough to defeat any rumors.

"So you don't need to worry, you just need to fight with peace of mind. We can go home next year, and then we will get more money than 2,000 dinars."

Levi said.

"Long live the General!"

I don't know who yelled.

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live the General!"

"..."

Those soldiers shouted excitedly, they voluntarily extended their service, isn't it just a word of money for the foreign war plan?

Levi can bring them huge amounts of money, and that's enough.

Before leaving, Li Wei stared at Publius coldly.

He's already thinking about changing his position, and then assigning him a mission that must kill him.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, there are simply not too many ways to kill one of his men.

Publius' face turned cold. He saw the deep malice in Li Wei's eyes, which made him feel extremely uneasy. Maybe it's time to discuss countermeasures with his elder brother.

"Can you come in for a moment, General!"

Luculus' voice came from outside Levi's office.

Two days had passed, and Livi sent Lucias to send his transfer order, but there was news that Publius had disappeared.

Li Wei immediately signed the order to arrest Publius, if you dare to be a deserter, don't blame me for punishing you to death.

"come in."

Li Wei said lightly.

Soon Luculus and Appius Pulkel walked in together.

After seeing Appius, Li Wei's face immediately turned cold.

Publius has spread rumors about him for a year, and he doesn't believe that Appius doesn't know, which is also not a good bird.

"Are you here to lobby for him?"

Levi asked.

"That's right, it was just a misunderstanding. At that time, I sent him out on business, and the people under him didn't know about it. He was definitely not a deserter."

Luculus said with a wry smile.

"Since it's not a deserter, that's fine. I can cancel the arrest warrant for him. Now I order him and Appius to be transferred to the 3rd Brigade in Thrace. I have received news that Mithridates is hiding in the Caucasus A Scythian tribe in the deep mountains, now I order them to immediately lead the third Thrace brigade to encircle and suppress this Scythian tribe."

Li Wei looked businesslike.

It’s just that he unabashedly expressed his own malice. The Caucasus of this era is colder than later generations, often at minus 20 degrees, and the mountains are often blocked by heavy snow. At this time, there is not much difference between letting them go deep into the Caucasus and letting them die.
