"Batinius, since we have different opinions and positions, I don't think there is any need for today's debate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but there is one thing I can let you know first. The Senate had formed a fleet in the name of piracy, and gave full authority to Pompey to lead it, and made Pompey commander-in-chief of the Roman navy. ”

Secrelius unhurriedly revealed the latest news to Bartinius, however, this was not for him to tell Pompey, nor to win over the traitor of the Senate, this was just a piece of advice from Secrius to this former friend, this battle was not until the last moment, and no one knew the final result.

"You want to drive a wedge between Pompey and Caesar?"

Bartinius quickly reacted, the Senate faction is now grasping the contradiction between Caesar and Pompey, constantly deepening and highlighting this contradiction, and making Pompey the commander-in-chief of the navy is to curry favor with Pompey, making him feel that the Senate is his backer, and that Julius Caesar is unreliable.

The public and public opinion are now more and more inclined to Caesar's side, and as a rising star, Julius Caesar has managed to win the support of the common people, both in terms of his contribution to Rome and the welfare of the common people, both in terms of his previous consuls, these achievements are gradually catching up with Pompey.

Just like Sulla, who overtook Marius step by step, Pompey had a deep concern that history would repeat itself, so it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad for Caesar and this alliance.

"Yes, I am not afraid of such obvious intentions and actions, you know, my old friend, I am not telling you this to turn back and persuade Pompey, you do not have the ability, and besides, you are already on the side of Caesar. I'm telling you this just to let you know that this battle is far from simple, and that the Senate plays a pivotal role in Rome, and no one knows who the winner will be until the last moment. ”

Secrius calmed down, picked up the glass, and took a gentle sip of the red juice inside. All conspiracies will eventually turn into bloody and brutal battles. Just like the most vivid grapes, they will eventually be squeezed into a slurry and become this delicious wine, and the struggle is like this, the process is so cruel, to see who can enjoy the final fruit.

"I wonder, how am I on Caesar's side again?"

The fact that Pompey was the first Roman naval commander in chief was something that Bartinius really had no right to intervene in, but the Caesars that came out of the mouth of Secrius made Battinius deeply uneasy. What does this scheming senator know about himself?

"Well, since you're still pretending not to know, I'm going to tear off this veil of hypocrisy. The murder of Lucius, which caused a sensation in the city of Rome, was actually planned and controlled by you, and then, the slave you sent to the gallows, Aduneus, was later let go by you, right? ”

"Bloody mouth, full of deceit. The matter had already been concluded in the Department of Justice, and it was known throughout the city that the murder of Lucius was a voodoo act committed by Gray's slaves. ”

In the face of Secrius's accusations, Batinius was weak for a while, but he still insisted on his opinion. It's just that how did this cunning senator know that he had gone over to Caesar? Bartinius did want to know. But the more this time, the more you can't show your weakness and curiosity.

"You don't have to defend yourself anymore, on the day of the gladiator's execution, you bribed the people at the execution ground, and there happened to be my eyeliner in that execution ground. It's that simple. ”

Seeing that Batinius did not speak, Secrius took advantage of the situation to intensify his offensive -

"Later, through this incident, I began to investigate your motives for doing this. Why would a nobleman who had nothing to do with it take a risk to rescue a slave who had nothing to do with him? I followed this clue and searched and searched, and finally discovered your plot, Batinus. All the crimes, all the evidence, all the conspiracies, you planned and created them single-handedly. You even colluded with Aditya's daughter to get her to let go of the criminal, Aduneus. ”

"Enough!"

Batinus suddenly roared again, he did this thing seamlessly, why was a clue still found in the end? Just blame yourself for your carelessness in the end. **, Batinius cursed from his heart.

He thought it was all over, however, Victoria was right in her fears.

He should have followed this woman's advice and had more eyes. Now that Secrius has evidence that he is currying favor with Caesar, and the Senate is trying to find a way to separate Caesar and Pompey, at this time, if Secrius tells Pompey about this, then with Pompey's character, what will he do to himself? Batinius could hardly have imagined it, but at the same time he wondered why Secrius was reluctant to tell Pompey the truth when he knew the truth of the matter. Didn't he want to defeat himself and reduce the power of the three heads?

……

Batinius did not admit it, nor did he answer. However, his eyes, his demeanor, had betrayed him. Secrius was already certain that his guesses and the evidence he had were true.

"I'm not going to expose you, my friend. It will do me no good to expose you. I just want you to know that if I really wanted to kill you, then I could have done it a long time ago, and the reason why I haven't done it all this time is just to make you stop your crazy steps and return to your original self, not to be swallowed up by the ever-expanding desires. We are Romans, and we must not allow the corrupt winds of concentration of power to return to Rome. ”

Eventually, Secrius earnestly persuaded Batinius.

Batinius was defeated this time, and it was a complete defeat. Fighting with Graeus, he may be more scheming and scheming, however, he is still far from fighting with the backbone elders of the Senate. It's just that the desire for power is human nature and instinct.

"No, Secrius, even if you know this, Pompey would not doubt my motives just because of my friendship with the Gaius, and I believe that Pompey was not such a narrow-minded man."

Batinius defended himself with the only hope. However, he didn't know that there was a more secret piece of information, that Secrius already had-

"The Gaius family may be just one of many families related to Caesar, however, the boy named Octavian has become Julius Caesar's closest child, and may even become Caesar's adopted son, you can't disagree with this, maybe you don't know it yet, but the Senate knows it, and Pompey probably knows it."

In the midst of the shock, Battinius' luck suddenly seemed so pale that it was all accidental, and yet, when all the occasional events came together, Battinius was undoubtedly indisputable......
