Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

"You have no power to condemn me! I am a magistrate appointed by Gaius Caesar himself! You have no authority to rule my ......"

After completing a new round of military deployments, Apis did the final work before leaving. And on the last journey of Tisdos, he took people to the house of the old nobleman Labrius, and raided the home of the former magistrate of Tisdos. (The city is locked down) the old nobleman shouted loudly trying to break free from the guards. Like a beast trying to break free from its cage. Growling and roaring.

"Gaius Caesar is a true great man, a saint, but what are you doing? Don't you know that forgiving your enemies is the greatest kindness? Do you know only about killing and conquest by force? ”

Labrius was almost carried out, still screaming words of generosity. It attracted many onlookers from residents. Until he met Appis at the door of the villa......

"But I'm not Caesar, and I'm not a saint."

Facing the traitor Labrius, who jumped over the wall in a hurry, Appis responded lightly.

Afterwards, two sturdy Praetorian Guard soldiers tied the fine-skinned nobleman to the carriage and galloped towards the center of the town.

All those who had welcomed Agrippa into the city were now brought to the town square to be tried and punished by the legions.

"Loyalty and faith, courage and glory. Citizens and freemen of Rome, this is our spirit and our eternal creed. However, what are these traitors of Tisdos doing? For the sake of his own desires and power, he plunders the assets of others, and even makes deals with demons to bring suffering and pain to the city. These are the same people who are being escorted to the square today, who have betrayed you and who have betrayed me. Surrendered Tisdos to Agrippa and his legions. It also brought killing and plundering into the city. And all this is just for the dirty profit transaction! ”

In the warm sun, Appis stood in the middle of the square and spoke loudly. This was the ancient Roman method of judging dissidents, and Apis had long since integrated into it. At this moment, in front of him are the black and oppressive city residents. They all stood in silence in the square, listening to Apis preach the wording. In fact, they are all masses who have suffered in this war. Agrippa allowed the Numidian army to enter the city, undoubtedly freeing the dogs of the Houla, and most of the city's inhabitants were savagely plundered. So at this moment, when Appis caught these "traitors" who collaborated with the enemy in the square, everyone held their breath and quietly listened to the speech of the commander of the Northern Army. It can be said that the hatred of these traitors is shared by everyone.

"Do you think you are honorable and righteous yourself, Appis? Don't forget who started this war, and don't you forget all the evil you did in Spain? Encourage the local barbarians to plunder the city, and then take your so-called righteous army into the city to suppress the bandits. How disgusting, how wicked......"

As soon as Appis finished speaking, Labrius, who had been arrested, began to spit out loudly.

Labrius originally thought that Apis would be furious when he heard this, and stop his speech, so that he could use this as a breakthrough to ridicule Apis. Let people see the face of the righteous liberator in front of them. However, in the face of Labrius's questioning and scolding. Appis, however, was calm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard it just now, Lord Labrius said that I will use the barbarians to make trouble, and then send legions to suppress and provoke war. So, I would like to ask you, do you believe such words? Do you believe him and think that I am a butcher and a tyrant? Did I bring you war and disaster? Bringing it to the people of Rome? ”

Apis knew the true purpose of Labrius' sudden blow. Indeed, Labrius was right when he said that he had indeed occupied all of Spain by such disgraceful means. But if you are angry at this time and stop him from talking, then you will fall into his trap. Why stop a prisoner from finishing his sentence? Undoubtedly, what the prisoner said was right in his own hands. Appis thought for a moment, and did the opposite, simply letting Labrius finish speaking, and then pretending to be indifferent, and calmly asking the people.

The inhabitants of Tisdos suffered from the chaos caused by the opening of the city of Labrius, and Appis was so calm. The people quickly reacted, thinking that this dying aristocrat was spewing blood from his mouth and jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"Nope! Kill him!! ”

Loud shouts soon erupted from the crowd. Soon, the crowds began to surge. "Kill him! He's a demon! The clamor demanded that Labrius be killed in one wave after another.

At this moment, the tied up "traitor" Labrius was dumbfounded.

"I am the magistrate of Tisdos, duly appointed by Gaius Caesar, and you have no authority to judge me! I am a Roman nobleman and cannot be killed and enslaved! ”

The grumpy crowd soon became agitated, and there was a great tendency to rush up and hurt people. At this time, Labrius could no longer be calm, and shouted angrily. His toga was covered with a mess of hair on top of his head, like a pile of dead grass, and his toga was even stained with jet-black dust. Frightened and angry, he looked at the mob in front of him. Yes, a group of commoners was going to rush up and kill a nobleman who, in the eyes of Labrius, was already a mob.

Appis ignored him, and the Praetorian Guards threw him into the midst of the angry civilians.

In a few moments, Labrius's white robe was torn, and the angry civilians trampled him under his feet, kicking countless pairs of legs and feet from all sides. Even the shouts of Labrius himself were drowned out in the tumultuous crowd.

The other accomplices were horrified when they saw such a picture, and some of them were even trembling and slumped, and a foul yellow liquid was flowing from under their clothes......

……

A few days later, Labrius and his accomplices who were plotting the mutiny were killed one by one by angry civilians. The corpses were even thrown into the black, smelly sewers and left to rot. Appis took advantage of the situation to seize the property of these nobles. And give one-third of it to every civilian in the city of Tisdos in a public and high-profile gift. For a time, the waves of cheers came and went. The other local nobles, who were not affected by the catastrophe, were terrified and leaned more towards Appis's side, fearing that one day a hungry mob would rush into their homes, smash their mansions, and rob them of their property. Of course, for these people, Apis gave full assurances, and even left the security team to ensure the safety of their homes. After all, it was impossible to fight a war with civilians, and it required sufficient money and supplies from the nobles...... For mobile phone users, please browse M.
