"Hell, who the hell killed all the people I set up to spy on Calpnia? There must be a conspiracy in this, and tomorrow, that old woman will definitely read Caesar's suicide note in the Civic Square, damn it! And I don't even know who Caesar's designated heir is now, but that person must not be me! ”

After Anthony's eyeliner was plucked out by Appis, the manic man could not stand it anymore, and he became angry in his mansion, angrily kicking his servants and maids, like a manic beast unable to control his emotions. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info This is related to that huge fortune, and even to the future of the republic.

"I see that Appis has recently raised a personal escort and gone to Octavian's house."

Domitius came in when Antony was in a frenzy, and he motioned with his eyes to the servants to go down first, and he had something to consult with the great general of the Roman legion.

"Appis?"

Antony was initially skeptical of Domitius's claims, but he soon regained his sense of what was at stake. Indeed, in a situation like this, only Apis dared to openly take refuge in Caesar's heir. Because everyone would be afraid of their own cavalry and the command of Caesar's legion behind them, only Apis could temporarily organize a convoy to protect Caesar's unknown heir. And only he dared to do it, yes, Anthony suddenly reacted. But it happened so suddenly, and Anthony barely had time to deal with it.

"Yes, and my men learned that three months before Caesar's assassination, Apis gradually sold his property and exchanged it for gold and silver reserves. Then Caesar was assassinated, and I suspect this is a strange coincidence. ”

Domitius was a Roman general who remained in Syria during Caesar's conquest of Egypt. Once had a relationship with Appis, knowing Apis's pride and frivolity, after Caesar's assassination, he firmly stood on Antony's side, and the information he provided undoubtedly pointed out the direction of the detective for Anthony in confusion.

"You mean that Apis may have something to do with the murder of Caesar?"

Anthony asked suspiciously.

"It's not impossible. I suspect that he may have teamed up with Brutus to plot the case, and then, long before Caesar's assassination, they forged a suicide note, appointed an heir, and then coerced Calpenia to publish it after Caesar's death, so that the whole of Rome fell into his hands. Anthony, if you think about it, Brutus and Apis are still related, and Brutus's sister is Apis's wife, and the collusion of all these conspiracies is not impossible. You've dealt with Appis, and you know how insidious and cunning this man is. ”

Domitius went on to remind him that his suspicions, though his own speculation, were very much in line with what Apis was doing at the moment. And if tomorrow Calpunia really publishes the suicide note under the escort of Apis, then Anthony has undoubtedly found an excuse and reason to slander and frame Apis.

"Yes, your analysis makes sense. And it is possible that Apis will also ally with Calpurnia. He, Brutus, Calpnia, and the unknown demon who was about to become Caesar's heir, may have conspired together to assassinate Caesar. In this way, the whole of Rome seemed to be scattered after Caesar's death, but as soon as they were united, the power actually passed smoothly into the hands of the new heir gang. Well, that's just too insidious. If this is the case, it is likely that Brutus' speech this morning was just a delaying tactic to hold me back, and then give Appis time to eradicate my eyeliner. ”

Antony took Domitius's train of thought and continued to dig deeper. Although it is just speculation, this logic seems to be very smooth, after all, Brutus and Appis, they were originally direct relatives. The Roman people were quite willing to believe in such logic. Because it's their mindset. Family interests.

However, despite the speculation, one night was not enough time for Anthony to investigate the connection. Moreover, given the pressure of public opinion, Anthony could not forcibly hold Calpurnia hostage.

……

"I, Gaius Julius Caesar, have made Gaius Octavius Turinus my first heir. He will receive three-quarters of my property. The remaining quarter of the property was inherited by Luchis, Pinaas and Quintos. If Octavian, the first heir, voluntarily renounces it, the inheritance goes to Brutus. When Octavian became the first heir, he also became me, Caesar's adopted son, and inherited my name. Three hundred sesterls were given to each Roman citizen of the capital, to be executed by the first heir, and my garden on the west bank of the Tiber was donated as a large public garden. ”

The next day, when Kalpurnia stood up under the protection of the guards and read Caesar's suicide note, the people were undoubtedly incredulous about Caesar's decision. Who was Octavian? This was the most curious question for the Roman populace, because almost no one knew Octavian before the publication of Caesar's testament in Calpnia. Even, before the suicide note was published, all Roman civilians thought that Antony would become Caesar's first heir, because during the Gallic War and the Roman Civil War, Antony made great contributions to Caesar and was also Caesar's most effective general. In terms of fame and status, Antony had more inheritance rights than this man named Octavian, and what was even more puzzling was that this heir of Caesar, Octavian Turinus, was even a seventeen-year-old boy at the moment.

And when the suicide note was announced, Anthony himself was undoubtedly very depressed, because Caesar's suicide note did not mention Anthony's name at all, which is simply incredible. What was going on in Caesar's mind? But no matter what, it was only at the moment when Anthony's suicide note was announced that he knew who the heir was and who Appis had been protecting.

"It's a bit complicated, Anthony, and our guess might be that something went wrong. Octavian was not a member of Brutus, and Atia was Caesar's niece, and it was impossible for her to assassinate her uncle in order for her son to inherit Caesar's power. In addition, letting Octavian inherit Caesar's power is obviously not something that conspirators should plan, Octavian is still just a child, what can he do? ”

When the suicide note was published in front of everyone, Domitius was undoubtedly surprised, and he leaned into Antony's ear and analyzed it with Antony melancholy.
