"Citizens of Rome, allow me to inform you here of a truth, a terrible fact, a conspiracy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOur esteemed senator, the senator you love, Carrenus, is in fact a liar, a deranged liar, a liar who has lost his faith and sense of honor! ”

"Oh...... No! Tribune Appis, you are deceiving us here again? You're a liar! ”

In the afternoon in the Roman Civic Forum, Apis once again stood on the podium and spoke out. Soon, crowds of onlookers poured in from all directions. Some of them are true patriots, some are just onlookers who can't read a single word, and some are aristocrats who pass by here to find out. And at this moment, all eyes were naturally focused on the eye-catching position in the square, the young man who was giving a speech.

At first, Apis's speech was not stopped or opposed. Until someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout out. Speech against Appis.

"Whether it's a liar or not, I'm not here to defend or argue. Now, I want to show you some physical and human evidence, citizens, citizens, you must keep your eyes open, because what you will see next will be an imperishable fact, and you must fight for it, because the laws of Rome cannot be trampled on, and our interests cannot be taken away from others! ”

In the face of the uproar in the audience, Appis did not argue about anything. Instead, the human and physical evidence prepared in advance was brought to the podium.

The first to appear were the leaders who had instigated the civilian uprising on the day of their capture by Sylvie and Luculus, who were not tied hand or foot, but were forced to step onto the podium.

"Yes, the tribune is right, he was falsely accused. The stolen goods that you saw that day were actually sent by Carenus, and that the tribunes did not take bribes from the noble leaders, as I testify that the stolen goods are now in the basement of Karl's warehouse, and some of them have even been used. However, none of these people, except for the servants of Karenus, had ever entered the place, and everyone could verify it on the spot. The goods, the goods, should be said to be the same as the ones I showed you that day. ”

"Is this the truth?"

The crowd began to stir, but there were still people who did not believe it, because the witness who came to the stage had marks of being beaten on his face, and people suspected that he had been beaten and forced to go on stage to testify on behalf of Appis.

"That's the truth, because I have a list here. The list that Karenus used to assassinate, to persecute you. It has Carrenus' autograph on it. You can take a look. ”

Appis said, gesturing to Sekras beside him.

The pine plank, with its many names, began to circulate, and at the same time, the ruffians came forward and made confessions in the square one by one, at the request of Appis. Thinking of the threat made by Appis beforehand, no one dared to resist temporarily.

"I tell you, Karenus will take my life, and my family will suffer!"

"But if you don't testify, I can take your lives right now. You're under my control now, don't you understand? Without Karenus' hands, I can go to your family now. And at this time, your master may still be sleeping in his warm and comfortable bed, cuddling the woman. By the time he learns about your arrest, it will probably be a few days away. Also, do you think you have exposed yourself and been captured by his enemies, so that you can still use him in the future? There are so many gangs in the city of Rome, why does that Carrenus trust you again and cooperate with you? Maybe they'll send someone to kill you because you know too much? Have you thought of that? ”

The ruffians remembered what Apis had said to them, and in desperation, they could only stand on the podium one by one and tell what they knew and what they had done. Even if the audience is an angry crowd...... But Apis also promised them that if they came forward to testify today, they would each be given a large sum of property, enough for them to leave Rome and live in Greece.

"Oh! It's true! ”

In the audience, some civilians began to exclaim.

And just in time, Crane stepped forward under Appis's arrangement and began to tell the inside story of the arena gladiatorial fight......

"There is one more appalling thing, citizens, which you will never hear of as I am going to tell you below, and it is about what happened in the Roman Rotundum. Every game we watch, in fact, is just a show, the outcome of the gladiatorial fight has already been decided, and your bets will only flow into their pockets again and again! ”

Klein came to the stage at the right time and announced the inside story of the gladiatorial battle in the arena, which caused an exclamation from the audience. At this juncture, adding fuel to the fire is also what Appis has arranged in advance......

"Don't exclaim, citizens, I am a gladiator who has been fighting in the Colosseum for a long time. My name is Klein Leous. The reason why I dare to publish my name here at this moment also means that I am not afraid that those who manipulated the results of the Colosseum will come to me for revenge, in fact, I have been hunted down by them once, and it was the tribune Apis who saved me. ”

"Hoo ......"

The townspeople, the peddlers, the women, and even the homeless and beggars in the audience began to listen intently to Klein's speech. Because if what the gladiator said is true, then the inside story that he is going to reveal next is in everyone's vital interests, because the gladiatorial games of the Colosseum are gambling, and in Rome, almost everyone has participated.

"Go on, brother."

Klein glanced at Appis beside him, and Apis gave him a look and whispered softly. Immediately afterward, Klein began to shout to-

"The reason why I was hunted down was because the Colosseum was a stage, and gladiators were like clowns, they fought each other bloodily, however, it was just a show, and the real result was already doomed! You will bet your hopes, your money, on a certain gladiator before the fight, and hope that he will fight bravely. However, most of the gladiators they bet on were informed before the match that he had to lose! Because, then, your money will go into the pockets of the damned nobles, into the pockets of Carrenus! ”

"No!"

Halfway through Klein's speech, the crowd began to exclaim. If the politics of Rome are not about their direct interests, then the inside story that Klein revealed directly touched their most sensitive nerves, manipulating the arena, which means that all your interests are drained into the pockets of the nobles before the game starts. And you are also kept in the valley and deceived like a fool.

The crowd began to stir up in anger, and that was what Apis was trying to achieve...... (To be continued.) )
