Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 316 Rejection

If this continues, his reputation will be ruined. How can a person mess up in the political arena without his reputation.

It must not go on like this!

Thinking of this, he took a few guards and walked towards the square.

"Sidicus, I curse you to hell."

At this moment, a passerby suddenly cursed at him loudly.

Sidious gave him a gloomy look, then led the guards forward.

There have been too many things like this happening in the past few days. People often curse him loudly on the road, because they are believers in the holy religion, and they followed the prophet's order to curse him.

Those passers-by also looked at him with strange eyes, and some people's eyes were full of malice, because they were also believers of the holy religion.

Some people were full of mercy and offended the 16 All Saints believers in Rome, and the days to come will never be easy.

With different eyes, he came to the Civic Square.

At this time, Sidhigus was in an extremely heavy mood. If he faced this kind of look every day in the future, he didn't know if he would go crazy.

He regretted it a little, maybe he shouldn't get involved in this matter.

Seeing Sidhigus coming, many people surrounded him.

Some people look gleeful, seeing high-ranking officials being unlucky is something that many ordinary people like to hear.

Some people have a malicious look on their faces, it is obvious that they are believers of the holy religion.

At this moment, Sidhigus noticed that a senior man had just finished his speech and was about to leave, so he greeted him.

"Senior Anthony."

But I didn't expect that the elder's face changed drastically when he saw him, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and then his face was full of anger.

"Sidigus, you wretch. You sue the Great Prophet, you devil-bewitched..."

The elder accused Sidigus in front of everyone, and now Sidigus is a taboo in the square.

Everyone was blaming him, and even if you didn't want to talk about him, there were always a few people in the crowd who brought up him, and they had to attack him, and nobody wanted anything to do with him.

Sidhigus's smile froze on his face. He remembered that half a month ago he had a drink with this elder, but he didn't expect to turn his face and deny him now.

The elder attacked him fiercely, and then left in a hurry after drawing a line with him in front of everyone.

Sidhigus' face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and things seemed to be worse than he imagined.

Soon he got some distracting thoughts out of his mind, and then started his own speech.

"Dear fellow citizens of Rome..."

"Sidigus, you blasphemer."

But just as the speech started, someone cursed loudly.

Sidious tried to control his emotions, continued to speak, and kept defending himself.

But the swearing among the crowd became louder and louder, and more believers came here in the organization of some people, and they kept swearing.

Sidious was livid,

He was worried that he would not be able to control his emotions, so he could only end the speech in a hurry and left here.

What on earth should he do?

He never thought that things would develop to this point? I have become the biggest victim of this matter.

If this continues, his political career will be completely over.

Will Metellus help himself? But this matter seems that he can't help himself, he must not go on like this, he must save himself.

With a dazed look on his face, he turned a blind eye to the malicious eyes of those passers-by.

Before he knew it, he came outside Li Wei's villa.

He thought for a long time, and said to the guard of the villa: "I am Sidigus, the tribune of the people, and I hope to see Li Wei."

The guard at the door gave him a cold look, and finally went in to report.

After a while, the guard came out.

"The head of the family said that he has nothing to talk to you about, so you should leave."

"Please be sure to report again, saying that I am willing to withdraw my charges and hope that he can meet me."

Sidious said earnestly.

The guard was unwilling, and finally Sidhigus begged for a long time before the guard agreed to go in and report.

"Oh, he's willing to drop his charges."

Li Wei was very surprised. He didn't expect Sidhigus to put his posture so low and beg for mercy so soon.

At this time, he was teaching little Li Wei's studies, and little Li Wei's eyes were rolling around.

Recently, Li Wei has been personally teaching his studies, which is much stricter than Cicero, which makes him miserable.

"Dad, just go and see him."

Little Li Wei had a flattering smile on his face.

"Okay then, but don't think about playing, go to your mother and finish all these homework."

Levi said.

Little Li Wei's face immediately collapsed, "Alright then."

Not long after, Sidhigus walked in with a haggard face, and Li Wei lay on the couch without getting up to greet him.

There was no angry expression on Sidhigus's face, but a smile on his face.

"Dear Levi, I am very sorry for what happened before. I only sued you because I misheard Metellus' report."

"I am deeply sorry for this, and I am willing to withdraw my complaint, as long as I can earn your forgiveness."

Said Sidious.

"If an apology works, what do you need a judge for?"

Li Wei said with a sneer.

Sidious was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that he was willing to withdraw the prosecution, and Li Wei was still unwilling to let him go.

"Do you think I sue if I want to sue, and withdraw the lawsuit if I want to withdraw it? You think the divine metaphor is used casually!"

Levi said.

Sidhigus' face turned livid, "Then how can you let me go."

"Tell the truth to everyone, then sue Metellus, and sincerely repent to me, so there is only a slight chance of winning my forgiveness."

Li Wei said jokingly.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Sidhigus asked coldly, this is not forgiving him, this is simply putting him to death.

"Sidigus, you think too highly of you. Maybe you think you have the ability to confuse people's hearts. But in my eyes, you are nothing. I want to deal with you at least dozens of ways, but I don't want to use it." .”

Levi said.

Sidious looked at him fiercely, turned around for the last time, and left here without looking back.

Li Wei looked at him coldly. Some people just didn't know themselves and planned to participate in this terrible political struggle.

It is not so easy to want to leave the field easily after causing so much damage to one's own reputation.

Today he wants to kill the chicken for the monkeys to see, so that those who want to deal with themselves think twice.

After leaving, Sidigus immediately went to see Metellus.

"If you don't want to help me, I will withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow."

Sidhigus said straight to the point.

Now what he wants most is to protect himself, and he has no interest in finding evidence of Li Wei's crime.

"Sidigus, don't worry. Come, sit down."

Metellus said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't expect Li Wei to force Sidhigus to this point casually. He knew that he had to take action, otherwise Sidhigus would definitely not be able to withstand this pressure.

"Don't play around with me, I just want to know how you plan to help me."

Sidious sat down and said.

"Don't worry, I decided to send someone to invite the Delphic oracle, so you are satisfied."

Metellus said with a smile.

"You... you really want to do this?"

Sidious said with a look of shock.

"Yes, just a while ago, the church in Rome announced that all schools would be open to the children of Roman citizens for free. Some missionaries are lobbying those Roman citizens everywhere, encouraging them to send their children to church schools."

Metellus said in a low tone.

"What did you say? He's crazy!"

Sidhigus' face changed completely.

"Yeah, even I think he's crazy! The city of Rome has 200,000 citizens. Once they send their children to church schools, there will be no place for us after these children grow up for many years."

"At that time, no matter whether the aristocratic party or the populist party, they can only wag their tails in front of him, just like what happened to you today. The so-called party struggle is a joke in his eyes."

Metellus said.

Sidigus blushed, "We must not let this happen, it's just how he has so much money."

"Those Eastern monarchs donated a large sum of money to him every year. He didn't keep a penny, and donated it all to the church. According to my estimate, the money is at least seven or eight million dramaks. The Eastern Expedition At that time, he also donated nearly 100 million dinars of property to the church, and these properties would generate a lot of income every year. If I donate a little more every year, I estimate that the church can use more than 15 million dinars a year."

Metellus said.

Sidhigus couldn't help but take a breath. This has exceeded the tax revenue of many provinces for a year. Once these incomes are invested in missionary work in Italy, the effect will be terrible.

"He is so terrific in doing the facts, and he doesn't leave any way for others to survive. The Greeks actually worship him very much, and some even worship him as a god, but now the Delphi Temple can't do it even if they can't think of it."

Metellus said.

Said Sidhigus: "Why don't we learn from him, we can also establish missionary schools."

Metellus shook his head, "This is impossible. The Roman Catholic Church fights on its own, and no one will obey the other. Running a school costs money, who will get the money? Once specific interests are involved, then this matter It's difficult."

Sidious nodded, admitting that he was right.

Just like the temple of Jupiter and the temple of Apollo, they do not interfere with each other, and sometimes they even rob believers.

Everyone hopes that there are more believers in their own family, so that believers can donate more money.

There are so many gods in Rome, it is impossible to unify them.

*** On Mount Vesuvius, the morale of the rebel army was extremely low.

Graber learned from Cyrus' lesson and had been besieging Mount Vesuvius for over a month.

In the past month, the slaves drank all the wine and the accumulated fresh water. If it hadn't been for a heavy rain in the middle, they might have collapsed due to lack of fresh water.

What on earth should they do? Spartacus kept thinking about how to solve this problem.

From the top of the mountain, he looked at the Roman military camp below. The Roman army not only surrounded the road down the mountain with ditches and earthen walls, but also set a large number of traps.

A few days ago, he led part of the rebel army to carry out sneak attacks at night, but he didn't kill many enemies at all. On the contrary, he suffered heavy losses.

At this moment, a very beautiful woman came over with some grapes.

She is a Greek slave who has recently defected and has a great affection for Spartacus.

Spartacus understood what she meant, but he always refused. He couldn't be sorry for Sarah.

"Here are the grapes I picked for you, come and eat them."

The female slave held the grapes and said.

Spartacus looked at her dry lips due to lack of water, and was very moved.

"I'm not thirsty, you can eat, you need this more than me."

Spartacus said.

After all, he is the leader of the rebel army, and drinking water can still be guaranteed.

The woman's eyes dimmed immediately, and the whole person became extremely depressed.

"By the way, where did you pick these grapes?"

Spartacus asked, and at this time he found that the grapes were very fresh, as if they had just been picked.

"The cliff in the back mountain, do you want me to take you to see it?"

The woman's eyes lit up immediately, and she seemed to come alive.

"Well, if there are more grapes there, we can organize people to pick more grapes."

Spartacus said.

The female slave led him to the back cliff, and she pointed to a cliff and said, "It's right there."

Spartacus took a look and found that a large number of vines stretched all the way to the cliff of the back cliff.

It's just that the grapes on the cliff have been picked long ago, and there are only a few grapes on the cliff.

"You're off a cliff,"

Spartacus looked at him with a complicated expression, and the female slave smiled and nodded, as if to show his merit.

"Don't do that next time, it's dangerous."

Spartacus said.

He looked down the cliff, and saw that the cliff was very steep, basically at a right angle of 90 degrees, and it was impossible to climb up and people could not go down, so the Roman army did not send anyone to monitor it.

Looking at the vines hanging in the air, his heart suddenly moved.

People can actually go down, as long as they can use the rope.

"I see."

The female slave said shyly.

At this moment, Spartacus shouted like crazy: "I have a solution! I have a solution!"

Then he picked her up and kissed her hard.

"Thank you, you saved me and everyone."

Although the female slave didn't understand what happened, she had a happy smile on her face.

Spartacus quickly called all the generals to the cliff and talked about his plan.

"What did you say? You have a solution?"

Ixion said in shock.

"Yes, you see, there are a lot of vines here. We can use these vines to twist into ropes, and then we will use these ropes to go down the mountain."
