"Appis, the mastermind behind the civilian rebellion has been discovered, and it is the same Karenus you have been suspecting. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the early summer, just after the heavy rain, Seklas and Apis wore thick black cloaks and walked on the muddy roads of the Roman city, where there were no people, so they didn't have to worry about being recognized, and Apis's head was covered with a thick black cloak, and passers-by could only see the deep eyes under the black rags. And it is impossible to see who the face covered by the cloak is.

"Have you caught the evidence? Or only the witnesses were caught? ”

Looking at the road ahead, Apis asked in a low voice.

"There are only witnesses, or rather, not even witnesses, although under our torture, several of the civilian representatives who took the lead in the cackling compromised and told us who was behind them, but Russell asked them to correct Carrenus in public in the Civic Square at that time, but they were unwilling, and the two civilian representatives even committed suicide on the spot, and were stopped by Russell."

In the deserted streets, Seklas was on crutches and reported to Appis on the progress of the investigation. And since the day of the riots in Civic Square, this situation has long been guessed by Appis. When Caesar was in Gaul, he was able to completely take the initiative in intelligence, because of the primitive tribal form and simple social structure of the Gauls, they did not have so many intrigues and political intrigues, or in this regard, the Gauls really could not fight the treacherous and cunning Romans, and now, the battlefield has changed to Rome itself, in the Senate, there are no other talents, the conspiracy is exhausted, and there is never a shortage of people who deceive me, in such an environment, Caesar's intelligence network and manpower seem to be more than enough but not enough. And after such a major event as a civilian uprising, the people of the Senate must have been prepared in advance to silence the representatives of the civilians involved, or at least in the way of threatening their families, so that even if they caught witnesses, they would not dare to point out their masters to their faces on market day.

"We need witnesses, and we need evidence. Yes, we need this, otherwise, in Rome we will never have the opportunity to appear in public. ”

Appis shook his cloak and said depressedly. The current situation can be said to be even worse than the situation in Gaul. Fortunately, after going through so much, Appis's psychological quality is hard enough to withstand such pressure.

In the early morning street, two people continued to move forward in the deserted alley, until a man's cry of pain sounded in front of them.

"Check it out."

Before Sekras could react, Appis whispered.

The narrow alleys, lined with towering houses, five stories high, block out almost all sunlight, and if someone were to commit an assassination here, almost no one would notice it. And thinking of the bloody storm in the city of Rome at this moment, Apis guessed that such a thing was not impossible.

When the two of them reached the end of the alley, they found that in the dirty and smelly alley, a group of ruffians were beating a big man lying on the ground. The tough guy was knocked to the ground, tried to get up again and again, and was beaten down again and again by the group, and the muffled sound of the club hitting his body lingered in the early morning alley, at a point where almost no one would pass by. So, violence and bloodshed took place.

"A bunch of ruffians. It looks like it's debt collection again, or revenge. ”

Sekras hid behind the wall and cursed.

"Shall we get involved?"

A few punches and kicks were especially loud in this early morning alley. Sekras then asked. Appis saw that the veteran seemed to have the urge to make trouble, even though his feet were not yet completely healed. But the nature of the ruffian is difficult to change.

"No, we are public figures ourselves, come and see, it's not any intelligence worth using, don't go to the troubled waters."

Seeing the strong man in the corner being beaten by a few ruffians armed with clubs, and nothing more than that, and nothing worth using, Appis thought about giving up. However, in the next second, the sound from the dark alley caused Appis to stop again......

"***! I'm going to kill you! Kill you! ”

The familiar voice of the beaten tough guy made Appis stop, this voice seemed so familiar, but it seemed like a fragment of a long time?

"Bastard! Tell your master, even if he is ...... Kill me...... I won't give in, I won't ask him for another penny! Because he is...... A dog! ”

The beaten man was still unyielding, even if the people who surrounded him had lost their strength and were too lazy to fight again, some people even took out a dagger, wanting to directly deal with this annoying guy.

Klein?!

It was only then that Apis remembered where the voice came from. It was indeed a distant time, when I first came into this world, when I was still a slave, a gladiator slave. And Klein was his first friend, a best friend. A gladiator who is a bloody warrior in the arena will not be less affectionate than a comrade in the legion. Moreover, Klein also saved his life in the arena!

"Stop."

The sharp dagger shimmered in the morning mist with a terrible cold light. Appis shouted just in time to stop the ruffian's hand from slaughtering the tough guy on the ground.

……

"Here comes a good deed, brothers."

Appis's loud roar immediately caught the attention of several ruffians in the alley, who all looked up at the dark figure coming around the corner.

Appis and Sekras came out of the shadows, both of them cloaked in high black cloaks, and the ruffians couldn't see their faces. And Sekras threw away his crutches directly, moved his muscles and bones, and seemed to plan to move, people who have been fighting in the barracks for a long time, have been away from the barracks for too long, and they always feel uncomfortable. And at this time, it happens to be a good opportunity to solve the itchy hands, as long as Apis agrees......

However, Appis didn't want to solve the problem with his fists.

"The two opposite, there's nothing to do with you here, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, otherwise, your internal organs will be thrown here and fed to the rats and insects here."

The leading ruffian shouted loudly, he waved his fist and held the dagger in one hand, it was clear that he had done a lot of murder. The momentum still reveals a strong gang flavor. Just like the underworld often said in later generations, Rome at this time did not have this name, but only called itself by such and such a gang. Appis knew what this group of people was doing, and he took money from people to ward off disasters for others.

"Here are five hundred dinars, take them, go back and carry your women to sleep. The man whom you beat is dead. ”

Appis replied simply, and at the same time, reached out to Sekkras for a bag of coins.

Despite his reluctance, Sekras reached into his clothes and pulled out the heavy bag of solid dinars.

"Five hundred dinars, you want to send us away? Who are you? When are we riffraff? ”

The leading ruffian shouted loudly again, but the dagger in his hand had already been put away. Obviously, for money or people, these ruffians chose the latter.

Appis noticed this movement and continued to shout in a loud voice—"One thousand dinars." ”

"Aphes, are you crazy? For a debtor, to pay a thousand dinars? You wait here, I'll go up and beat them, this money can be saved. Let me go to the Lenario brothel to get comfortable. ”

Epics' generosity made Sekras depressed, and the veteran of the Legion endured his inability to give vent to his lust and reluctance to the silver coins, protesting against Apis's civilized behavior.

"Bring it."

However, Appis ignored Sekras's displeasure, snatched the money bag with one hand, and threw it in front of the group of ruffians in front of him.

"Now, he's yours."

The ruffian at the head shouted triumphantly at Appis, picked up the money bag, and left satisfied. Only the tough guy lying on the ground covered in wounds in the deep alley not far away was left. He almost picked up a life from the brink of death. (To be continued.) )
