"Is that so?!" Davers sneered and said loudly, "I'm afraid that none of your former colleagues in Turriyi will agree with the reasons you said. The destruction of the city of Turiyi is due to the fact that the hearts of the citizens are occupied by the death of their relatives and friends and the fear of their enemies, and they are driven by certain people with ulterior motives to drive out truly capable leaders! The generals they elected in panic were helpless against the difficulties, and it was the ordinary people who were driven by profit and unwilling to fulfill their promises to grant free people citizenship, which led to the subsequent series of tragedies! All this is said - the main culprit of the destruction of the old city of Turiyi is the citizens of Turriy and the citizens' assembly they formed!! ”

Kunogorata sighed softly, and at this moment the face of his tragic daughter suddenly came to his heart, and he felt sad for a moment.

Polyxis was speechless for a moment, and reluctantly said, "That...... That's just a special case—"

Davers loudly interrupted his explanation: "The citizens of Dionya want to participate in government, of course it is possible, haven't we always done it!" The Laws of Ionia have stipulated that 'Citizens of Ionia, regardless of their rank, may hold public office in the Dionian Union without restriction.' And we're going to have more bills to make them more involved in the executive decision-making of Dionia." But—"

Davers suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "The Dionian Senate will never indulge the people, let them have unlimited freedom, and thus wantonly destroy the order and overall interests of Dionya for their own personal gain, and even be used by some people with ulterior motives to destroy the Dionian Alliance that we have worked so hard to build!" Anyone who tries to spoil the good life of the Ionian Union today will be severely punished by the Senate! No mercy!! ”

Davers's categorical words exploded in Polyxis's heart like a giant thunder, making him tremble and whisper, "...... If you say so, most of the city-states of Greece will be destroyed because—"

There was a bang, the door of the venue was slammed open, and Polyxis subconsciously looked back, only to see Turii's patrol captain Matonis hurrying to the rostrum in front of the venue.

What happened?! This was not only a question for Polyxis, but also for some of the elders in the room.

Davers squinted his eyes at the podium, tapped his fingers on the back of his chair, and thought: It's finally here......

Cornerus listened to Mattonis's whispers, his face growing with consternation, and from time to time he glanced at Polyxis, which made him start to fidget.

After Matonis reported the situation, Cornerus had never encountered such a thing before, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to ask the audience for help: "Master Davers, please come here." ”

Davers stepped forward unhurriedly.

Seeing the whispering exchange between Davers and Cornerus on the rostrum, the senators were even more curious and puzzled, and they all stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, wondering what they were talking about, and vaguely heard Davers say firmly: "...... No! Everything is executed according to the laws of Dionia! ……”

At this time, Cornerus was heard shouting, "Senior Judge Trito Demos, please come to the stage." ”

The patriarchs were in a commotion, speculating to each other: what was going on?

The three of them exchanged ideas on the podium, and occasionally Trito Demos asked Matonis, who was standing aside, about the situation.

Finally, Davers returned to his seat, Trito Demose remained at the podium, and Cornerus pondered how to speak, he cleared his throat and carefully organized his words: "Hmm...... Well...... Ladies and gentlemen, just now—"

"Cornerus, please speak quickly! I'm in a hurry! Scombras shouted, and the senators laughed, and the tension in the room seemed to be dispelled somewhat.

But Cornerus still had a serious expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, there was an incident in the city of Turiyi just now, where a freed slave was chased and killed, and ran to the temple of Hades to ask for help......

The patriarchs suddenly stirred. Although the Dionian Alliance has not been established for a long time, it is not without murder cases, but it is the first time that "the victim runs to the gods for help" like this, after all, it has alarmed Hades, making it necessary to deal with this matter more carefully.

When Polyxis heard the words "emancipated slaves," a strong uneasiness rose in his heart, and he moved his ass back and forth as if there were nails stuck in a wooden chair.

"The patrol of the city, led by Lord Matonis, quickly rushed to the temple and, under the identification of the freed slave, rushed to the scene of the murder, and arrested several men who were present who tried to resist. After an urgent interrogation, the suspect's confession was basically the same as what the freed slaves said...... "Trito Demos had already taken over Cornerus's words, and his eyes were like two cold rays of light shining straight into the center of the venue: "Master Polyxis is the one behind it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Like a cat with its butt on fire, Polyxis jumped to his feet and shouted: "This is a false accusation!" This is a frame-up! ……”

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, we will have to go through a more detailed investigation to know." Trito Demos was calm, but his tone was like a knife: "Because what they have revealed involves more serious crimes, saying, 'You, Lord Polyxis, frequently give freedom to slaves, not out of good intentions, but in order to control them, use your position to deceive the Ministry of Agriculture, rent fertile land for them, and then most of the income from the land goes to you...... if this is true, it is already a grave violation of the Dionian law, 'You shall not unlawfully occupy land!'" Don't restrict the freedom of others! …… and several other laws'! ”

Polyxis's heart was pounding, and he defended in panic: "It's not like this! This is not true! I...... I didn't coerce any slave, no! They are all voluntary! Right! It's voluntary! They...... Volunteered to give me back a portion of their earnings as a thank you for the freedom I gave them! Believe it or not, some of the slaves I once freed have become full citizens! ……”

"We will also investigate the situation you said, and we will never let a noble senator be wronged! But the laws of Dionya are the same for everyone, even if you're a senator! Now that you are involved in this case, we will temporarily restrict your freedom until the matter is finally resolved. Trito Demos said with a blank face, and several patrolmen had already entered the venue, and under the leadership of Mattonis, they were ready to step forward to take Polyxis hostage.

Polyxis desperately tried to break free, and in the afterglow he saw Davers who was looking at him coldly, and his heart suddenly realized, and he immediately made a dying struggle against the elders around him: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a conspiracy!" Davers's conspiracy! He saw that my efforts threatened his dictatorship, so he used this despicable means to frame me! Everyone, help me! Please help me! Otherwise, if I fall today, it may be your turn next! You ......"

The patrol members forcibly "helped" him out, and his words were still echoing in the venue.

Polyxis, who had been triumphant before, was knocked into the dust in a blink of an eye, and this sudden reversal was too exciting, and the patriarchs looked at Davers with complicated expressions.

Davers didn't care what Polyxis said, and leaned back in his wooden chair with a leisurely expression.

And then, the words of Toritto Demos made Enarilus, Ophelis, Masisacus and other senators even more frightened: "Considering that this case involves too many people, after consulting with the Archon, it was decided that the whole city will be under martial law and forbidden to go out until the matter is over!" ”

The Senate meeting ended in shock, and while everyone was still panicking and talking, Davers had already strode out the side door of the room.

"Wait for me, Lord Davers! Listen to me......" Enanilus, who was usually steady, shouted in a tone that was almost pleading, and chased after him. It was followed by Oriffith, Masisacus and others.

Kunograta showed a sneer, turned around and wanted to walk out of the door, but saw Bulkos sitting behind him in a daze, muttering, "How could Polyxis do such a thing?" ……”

In this senate, Bulkos and Ansitanos were among the few senators who did not fall into the grave when Kunogorata was shipwrecked, so Kunogorata said: "The rich of the past cannot bear the poverty of the present." ”

Bulkos looked up in astonishment, and Kunograta had already walked out of the venue with brisk steps.

…………………………

On this day, the people of the city of Turrij were shocked to see the patrol go out in all directions, searching the mansion of Polyxis, and then restricting the freedom of the senators such as Enanilus, Oriffis, and Masisacus.

In the afternoon, an urgent message came from Crimea that "there was a cry for the emancipation of slaves and the rescue of the temple of Hades", and without waiting for the decision of the Senate, Protsilaus, the Governor of Crimea, who had received a secret order from Davers in advance, had ordered the patrol to arrest a few former Crimean nobles. And the news that came back made Orik Puz and Preades fall down.

In fact, Davers's spy organization, led by Aristiras, had already taken care of everything, and just needed a high-sounding reason to throw it out.

The news that "nearly ten senators have been detained" is like a political earthquake in Turii, which has caused the people to talk and rumors to spread.

How could Hermes, who was in the inn, not feel the violent tremors in the city of Turiyi, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and quickly packed up his belongings, and prepared to take a boat back to Sicily at once.
