"Obey, and the chief will love you." - São Paulo

————————————————————————

"Speaking of which, both Pocia and Seville seem to be worried about him, and Bocia recently accidentally revealed to me the address of Brutus's lodging, and she said that Seville always knows her son best, but she is reluctant to tell Caesar, is it through this form that you tell Caesar?" Poti said with concern.

"Shouldn't it be, my relationship with Caesar can still be closer to Seville? There were only one or two reasons she told me, one was that Brutus' actions would definitely be aimed at offending Caesar, so she didn't dare to tell Caesar, and the other was that she believed that I could solve the matter. After Li Bida finished speaking, he kissed Porti, and said that you should stay here these days, gather the wives of those veterans, and inquire more about the recent events in the streets and alleys of Rome, and I will put other things aside, no matter what, I will only deal with Portia's father.

Following the clues provided by his wife and mother, and with the help of the wives of veterans who were selling goods and gossiping for news, the net of finding Brutus gradually shrank, and Li Bida soon found his neighborhood.

In the dust raised by the street, the little pigeon and Van Lunjuna hid by the chicken coop on a certain street corner, while throwing walnuts and playing games, while constantly scanning the pedestrians on the street with four eyes, and finally Brutus, who was dressed in a cloak and dressed in an extremely low-key and mysterious manner, appeared at the side of the cistern under the arcade somewhere, accompanied by two slaves, and was instantly noticed by the little pigeon, and he whistled, and the two bear children who were with him kept a certain distance. Closely behind Brutus.

The most rear. On the gable of the courtyard that Brutus bends into it. When they ran down the steep slope of the Palatine Hill, the adoptive father of the little pigeon appeared with him, and threw each of them a small silver coin, and the two bear children excitedly picked up the silver coin, and ran to watch the dance in the tavern by the street.

"What is this place?" Walking to the foot of the gable, Li Bida, who saw the chalk marking, asked.

"This is the annex of Boness, the senator's senior father." One of his attendants, who was familiar with the streets of Rome, replied.

"Squatting here." Li Bida and a few of his entourage put on shabby clothes. Holding a cracked clay pot, he sat under the gable and pretended to be a beggar, his eyes fixed on the figures entering and exiting the courtyard of Boness.

Who would have thought that a moment later, from Bonis's door, Marcos, yes is Liberida's adoptive father, Tuna's younger brother Marcos, walked out with a childlike smile!

"What's going on, bastard." Li Bida cursed secretly and pinched his thigh with his fingers. Resisting the urge to go up and ask Marcos what was going on, it seemed that his patron was now in a state of semi-dementia. No one can control Marcos, otherwise how could he be involved in such an inexplicable incident?

Then he clearly saw that Marcos walked leisurely and walked until he reached the fork in the road in front, and the dumplings carried by several strong servants appeared, and Marcos immediately smiled, climbed up and talked and laughed at the people behind the curtain, and Li Bida's eyes stared at the sedan chair for a while, and he knew faintly in his heart. Then, several patriarchs stepped out one after another with nervous expressions, and the most embarrassed Brutus also came out with a cloak, his expression was a little uncertain, and he was very nervous, but when he saw Li Bida and several other "miserable beggars", he still stopped and sighed, and sprinkled a few Ass into the clay pot.

Brutus covered his nose with a little disgust to avoid the stench of their clothes, when he suddenly saw a bearded beggar with a very familiar appearance, but before he could confirm it, the beggar grabbed him, dragged him like an eagle catching a chicken, and dragged him to some abandoned alley in the recess of the gable.

As soon as Brutus wanted to resist, the cold dagger rested on his throat, "Say, where will Marcos be for nothing?" ”

"I don't know what Marcus is talking about, I heard it, you are Li Bida, my friend, you continue to be Caesar's minions, and you are embarrassed by my uncle?" Brutus judged the identity of the dagger's owner, and said with a red face.

Who knew that Li Bida bared his teeth and tightened the dagger deeper, until Brutus's neck was slightly bleeding, "I don't care what Caesar or Cato, you answer me now, and I will ask again - what is Marcos here for!" That's right, my adoptive father, who is a little mentally retarded. ”

"But I don't think he's mentally retarded at all, put the dagger down, put the dagger down." When Li Bida did what Brutus meant, Brutus clutched his throat, leaned against the wall and coughed a few times in a row, and then continued with a change of voice, "But when you say this, I think back to the two days when he came to Bonis's house, it is indeed a little strange, he speaks very fluently in public, but he almost never asks questions and answers in private. ”

"Doesn't Bonis know about him?"

"Perhaps, after all, we didn't know much about this man before - and besides, he openly said that he was speaking on behalf of his brother, Tuna Lucuras, so we didn't question it much."

"Fools, are you going to assassinate Pompey, or Caesar, or Crassus?" When Li Bida said this, Brutus was a little shocked: How does this guy know the purpose of our meeting? But now there was no point in concealing it, so he told his friends that Bonis and Byblos had joined forces with a group of senators to assassinate Pompey first, because Pompey was now Caesar's most powerful supporter, and then suppressed Caesar in the war of the Senate, accused him of his crimes, and finally convicted and executed him openly, just as Cicero did with Catiline.

After listening to Brutus's so-called "conspiracy", Li Bida smiled bitterly, pinched it twice in Brutus's robe, and quickly took out a self-defense dagger, plus an amber board, and then he looked at it, and there were indeed Bonis, Byblos, Brutus, Marcus, and of course, the ring seal of his patron Lucuras, if nothing else, it must have been secretly brought out by Marcos to stamp.

Brutus was about to come and grab it, but Li Bida threw the amber board to his companions who were standing at the mouth of the alley watching the wind, and as soon as the companions took it, they whistled and fled with the amber board.

"Don't push me." Brutus turned his hand to grab the dagger again, but was pushed by Li Bida in the opposite direction, leaning his back against the wall, and then Li Bida stepped forward like a ghost, hunched over and punched him in the lower abdomen a few times, Brutus's bile vomited out, and slowly slid against the wall and sat down.

"These punches are for your mother, and for you - you stampers, all of them have been used, and you don't know the way!" Li Bida said coldly. (To be continued......)
