"Now that there is evidence of Fonteus, do you dare to say that you have never meant to hurt the guardian family? Not only did he steal Leo's seal, but he also incited rebels to plot to kill him. Little Phillips continued to hurry up and asked questions from the judgment bench, "In the face of such a treacherous person, I think my prosecution should be completely correct, and it should be accepted by all the judges. I will deprive Turinus of his rights to fire and water forever, and detain him in the dungeon of Turyanum, where he will not have to see the light of day any longer. ”

"Today's topic should be over, because now that the sun has completely set, prosecutor, are you telling us not to see the light of day now, or should we continue the discussion tomorrow." At this time, Pisso held his forehead, very distressed but did not give up hope, and tried to use the "procrastination trick".

"Could it be that the Aemilius family still wanted to take advantage of this night and use a large number of gold purses, Piturinus, when I have already unmasked the latter? Then I have a question, who will you bribe next, and who can you bribe? As he spoke, little Phillips jumped and pointed at Pisso, "Is it the respected Inspector, he wears a purple trimmed robe, as long as you say a word, Turinus will be innocent, can you say it as much as you can!" ”

As a result, Pisso immediately covered his face with his long sleeves and denied the other party's accusations, "Then is it the Second Consul, His Excellency Panza?" You have always been Caesar's most relied on clerical confidant, are you also like Caesar's veterans, who can't see Turinus punished? ”

"My status as a jurist and rhetorician of the Republic will be far more long-term than that of Caesar's subordinates." This was Panza's clever answer, and he pretended to consult the file. Buried in his head and stopped talking.

Then. In the angry scolding of "Turinus is a jackal" outside the courtroom. The weak-hearted judges blocked themselves one by one with the sleeves of their robes, and leaned back helplessly, dodging. But Leo under the patio was in pain, bowed his head, and still didn't want to believe the facts in front of him.

The high priest also collapsed from his seat, and the elders around him kept whispering in his ears, proposing all sorts of ideas for disposing of Turinus, and Cicero sneered.

"All the listeners. I have now courageously revealed this great conspiracy, and I understand that you are very interested in the private infighting and strife among the Roman nobles, so I would rather risk my life to speak out in order to express the idea that, according to the principles of the Bronze Table, even the noble nobles, whose private actions are bound by the power and destiny of the state, are legal? Is it reasonable? Don't be a spectator, but a judge of the tragedy – the Romans loved the legendary rise of the aristocracy, but they loved their dramatic collapse! Little Phillips walked to the colonnade of the courtroom. With these extremely inspiring words, he shouted to all the people outside.

His call was well answered. Unable to sit still, he turned his gaze again to the High Priest, hoping to get an answer from him, but the High Priest covered his head and did not make eye contact with anyone—it was Cicero beside him who robbed him of his sight, and said "vixerunt" very noticeably, and made a gesture around his neck.

Vixerunt, which means "survived", was the most famous phrase that Cicero said to the people during the execution of the Catiline, and it is now clear that he wanted to apply it to Turinus.

And in the sound of the angry tide, Turinus, in his excitement, resentment and despair, realized that no matter how much he defended the situation, he had fallen behind, he had been set up for a long time, and the only one who could save him was the guardian.

"I swear to the chaste god of Vesta that I have absolutely no intention of harming the guardian family, even if I have been tempted and courted by the powerful sea god Neptune and the sun god Apollo like Vesta, I have never lost my chastity - my loyalty and love to the guardian family, I am willing to give up the sea and the sun like Vesta, and I must uphold the most resolute love in the world." In a panic, Turinus was half-kneeling, holding on to the doorpost, holding up his fingers, and began to swear at the gods, his tears and snot intertwined, which immediately moved many of the judges, clerks, and even the people outside the court, "Everyone, what is more painful than being framed and suffering an unjustified injustice?" I am about to be defeated by some inexplicable perjury, and I implore all men, whether they are senators, knights, or the people, to think carefully and return their innocence and liberty to me in time, and I am willing to withdraw from the five-year consulship election to satisfy the framing of the political enemies in the shadows. Isn't it enough for me to give up glory and self-motivation and seal myself up in a grave like death for five whole years? ”

Who would have thought, little Phillips laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke, he gently took out the last stack of papers, to give Turinus the last and most fatal blow, "This is Turinus's letter to his father in the Greek war zone for the past year, for fear of humiliation on the lintel, my biological father did not appear in this sacred temple, and the current situation is cruel enough for him." Originally, my father tried his best to cover up these scandals, and he longed for his stepson Turinus to change his mind, and in his letters he constantly exhorted him to do good and abandon evil thoughts. However, not a single qiē has any effect. ”

At this moment, Turinus crawled on the ground like a lightning strike, wailing, as if he was going to snatch the letters from the hands of little Phillips, and shouted, "These are completely personal letters, which also carry the thoughts of many of my immature and arrogant young people, and now you have taken him out, on what basis should you condemn me?" ”

Dillos hurriedly grabbed the original young Caesar, and then several courtroom servants also came up and unceremoniously pushed him to the door again, and arrested him.

Over there, little Phillips read aloud in public,

"How can a foreigner become the uncrowned king of the republic? As a result, my stepfather thought that the country was already terminally ill, and it was time for our family to come out and save it. ”

"Leo is only a man of lower birth than Agrippa, his mother is said to have been a slave girl who was a good man, and this 'young master' was born in a shabby apartment, and it seems that the republic is really going to be controlled by the descendants of the freed slaves."

"The most ridiculous thing is Corinna"

At this, the high priest suddenly stood up with a pale face, and Turinus slumped on the floor when he saw this. (To be continued......)
