At this time, Fulivia suddenly appeared in front of the door of the room, and she held on to the pillar and looked at Anthony, her face turned pale with fright, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

This frightened Anthony also stood up and asked Fulivia what was going on, if she had encountered a terrible evil spirit, but Fulivia couldn't speak at all, and it took a long time to say, "Marco, you won't believe what you see, never." ”

So Anthony walked to the crooked cloister with twelve points of suspicion, but at the end of the two rows of columns and the firelight, standing under the fresco, a man covered in a cloak, slowly removed the cover, and said to Anthony, "Long time no see." ”

"What's going on!" Anthony blurted out this sentence

In front of the port of Brindisi in May, it was the most prosperous scene, the workers on the docks were half loading and unloading the ships, half staying under the rain of the warehouse, discussing all kinds of rumors about the death of Caesar, and one of them was foaming, "According to me, on Capitol Hill now, it is still the Gentile general Lybidaeus, and Antony, and Brutus are wrestling, and to be honest we really don't know which side to support, Lypida's law had brought the greatest benefit to the provinces, and now many Italians and Gauls supported him; Antony, on the other hand, was closest to Caesar, and the Senate seemed to value him as well; What Brutus did in the end is really sympathetic! ”

The others began to complain in opposition, "What is there to sympathize with that fellow Brutus, I heard that Caesar treats him as a son." Instead, he tricked Caesar into the theater. Murder him with others. ”

"You worms don't understand. This is where the Brutus family is worthy of respect, they will not be bought by personal feelings, otherwise Rome would have been a kingdom and not a republic a long time ago, and which of you would like to stand in front of Caesar and call him king? The spitting man retorted excitedly, and they all shook their heads, after all, the title of "king" was a taboo name in the minds of the whole country, no matter what class. It's like being spelled, and greatness like Caesar is not just because he is quite tyrannical, and as a result, he is cut off by the people closest to him?

As a result, unconsciously, several young people stood in front of this group of people, the leader was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the rest were about the same age as him, and then the yellow-haired one who took the lead asked the person opposite who was talking. "They killed Caesar because Caesar was a tyrant. Or was it because Caesar had rather tyrannical ideas? ”

The man looked up, touched his rude beard, and thought to himself that this group of people probably had returned from studying in Greece, where homosexuality was commonplace, and now the Romans were all contaminated with what they were, and when I was your age, I went out to prostitute all day long, instead of holding hands with a few young men, so I retorted, "No, although I sympathize with Caesar, he really wants to be a tyrant!" ”

"Then the Senate should have pronounced a public sentence on him, instead of gathering a few ill-intentioned men and assassinating him despicably." The yellow-haired one said with a bit of anger.

As a result, the next one hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Look at Turinus, the people in Italy really think this is what they think about this public case, I think our debate can be over, and now we should go to Sicily and Sardinia to continue our study." ”

When the group had left, the dockers gave up arguing about political affairs, and after all, they were just uninformed gangsters, and began to play the game of dice again.

When he reached the stable where the mules and horses were tethered, Leo whispered to Octavian, "You should be cautious of Turinus, we can all understand your pain and anger, but here there are spies and killers who can appear at any time, because you are the heir to Caesar's vast fortune, and an attack on you can happen at any time." ”

"Leo is right, we should bypass Brindisi, it's too big for us to contain, but it's also convenient for the enemy, you need to be good now." Agrippa said the same.

Afterwards, Meecenas said that near the port of Brindisi there was a small town called Lubi, which was inconspicuous, but which had all the facilities of life, and where we could go for the time being, "My father has a few estates there, and then I will send my cavalry to Rome to inquire and bring back the news, and see if there is a trap waiting for us ahead, and we will act as long as we wait for the orders of His Excellency Lipida." ”

"Okay, but let's not be too negative, after arriving at Rubi, we will reveal our identities and announce our candidacy for this year's tribune, Caesar's children will not hide it, not to mention that justice and fortune are still on my side." Octavian then stepped on his horse, raised his whip, and said.

In the midst of the laughter of the children, the group entered the gates of the beautiful town of Lubi, which was surrounded by shrubs and streams, and Octavian suddenly said to Mecenas, "How much is your father's estate here worth?" ”

The other party shrugged his shoulders and said that I don't know, but 500,000 to 1 million Cestricks is still enough, and Octavian said directly, "My dear friend, now you can resist all of them and lend them to me, and I will immediately double your uncle's inheritance." Maecenas was slightly surprised, but did not say anything, but soon came to the front of the manor, the slaves and miscellaneous servants inside, seeing that it was the young master who came, hurriedly lined up to greet him, and thought that these young masters were tired of living in the academy, and came to live and rest for a while, but Mecenas's words below surprised everyone, "Call the steward to come to me, bring the financial slaves with me, and I will sell all these manors in three days." ”

The stewardship of his house moved quickly, since the young master ordered it to do it, anyway, it was the industry that moved, not the people, and in less than two days, in front of Octavian, there were already 200,000 Cestricks in gold and silver cash, and some were still in the process of transferring.

"Not enough." Octavian said.

The next is Leo, because Li Bida also has several fish pond properties here, and Leo has sold all these properties without saying a word.

On the fifth day, when they had about 600,000 Cestris in their hands, Octavian nodded, and then he hired a mule cart and a brigade of slaves, and went to the municipal council of the place, and knocked directly at the door of the local council of presbyterians, "I am Caesar's heir, and now I beg you to allow me to hold a great feast for all the citizens of Lubi, as well as the veteran colonies stationed in this city." ”

Several elders in the town hall stared at the group of teenagers with wide eyes, and if they hadn't seen them bring a large sum of money, eighty percent would have thought it was a boring prank. (To be continued......)
