Triali was so embarrassed that he had not dared to appear in public in the camp until now, fearing that the soldiers of the Eighth Legion would kill him outright. But he quickly cleared his throat and put on a very stern look in front of Lucuras, "Hey, don't think you're done with the business, Your Excellency the former Governor of Silesia. ”

The tuna turned to the side, smiled, and said very easily, "What?" Is it a routine accusation? Excuse me, what are the charges you will place on my head? ”

"You are greedy, you abuse your private power, and you are not good at war." When Tri Ali said these words, he lacked confidence.

Lucuras pressed in front of Tri Ali and said in a calm voice, "You're joking, aren't you?" Rik Danicus. When I was nineteen years old, I inherited four hundred Tallents, and I had seventy villas in Rome, Naples, and Campeña, and I scattered them so that I could organize an army of ten legions at any time to serve me for a whole year. And now you accuse me of being greedy? As far as I know, most of the crimes of embezzlement appear in the so-called civilian spokesmen who incite public opinion, self-proclaim, and only climb up to the public, once they get an errand in a certain province, they are desperate to make money and lend money, and some people embezzle 30 million sedres in one term, and only those who are born without something will have persistent greed for it. Oh, I wish I wasn't talking about you, Terry Ali, for I heard that you came from a slum and have always been a good character. ”

At this moment, Triari was sarcastically defeated by Luculas, and just when Pompey was in a very disadvantageous situation, a voice came from outside the barn door: "I am willing to confess my brother-in-law's crimes!" ”

Claudius once again walked in with that wicked and handsome smile, and Pompey and Triali snickered when they saw this. Then it was Luculas's turn to be horrified, and he pointed to his wife and brother and said to Pompey, "Why did you let this bastard out, he instigated a mutiny, fornicated with Pontus, he should be in the chariot at this time." ”

"Brother-in-law, you are abusing your private power, and you are ready to block my tongue so that your true face cannot be revealed to the world." After Claudius finished speaking, he shook off the file in his hand, which recorded many of Lucuras's "crimes" in detail: for example, when he went to Libya and Egypt to raise grain, he had private dealings with the local kings and accepted a lot of gifts, of course, the word "bribe" was changed to the dossier; another is to accuse him of embezzling the spoils of war without distributing them to his subordinates; Another example is that after he achieved a great victory, he deliberately appeased the enemy, used it to delay the war, win greater honor for himself, and so on.

Luculas read them one by one, his mood becoming more and more sad and angry, and Claudius was very proud, and took the opportunity to make up for it: "My honorable Excellency, I am afraid that even if you return to Rome, you will not even be able to enjoy a little triumph." As soon as he finished speaking, Lucuras broke out, he lifted his brother-in-law's collar, and shouted: "There are also accusations against my brother Marcos in the weishenme, what does the current dispute have to do with Marcos!" If you dare to harm my brother, I will swear a blood oath in front of the statue of the goddess of revenge, and chase me to the Yellow Springs Hades, and I will not forgive you! ”

Claudius also panicked, this file was stuffed to him by the mysterious man that night, and he didn't read the details of the contents in detail, and he didn't know that there was actually an accusation against Lucuras's brother Marcos, and he couldn't help but secretly complain: those who know know that Lucuras's brother Marcos, who is slightly mentally retarded, and by virtue of the family's glory, once served as the official of Sulla's degree, and now this file accuses Marcos of dereliction of duty during his term of office (inevitably, because he is mentally retarded), and the internal language is very intense- But everyone knows that the source of Lucuras's anger is Marcus, and the whole city of Rome knows the love between their brothers, and if anyone dares to touch Marcus, Lucuras will turn into a roaring war elephant that rushes into the clay pot shop.

"Calm down, be quiet, my dear old friend Lucuras, you don't look like a natural nobleman at the moment." Pompey spoke again, and then he made a showdown with Lucuras: "Now it is the town council that will make a complaint against you, and the final outcome will be determined when you return to the city of Rome." But now you must pardon your brother-in-law Claudius's sins, and if the stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to your family and your reputation - rest assured, Claudius will continue to serve under my account. Lucuras laughed and said to Pompey, "Let him serve under you?" This is the most haode news I've heard today, and congratulations, Pompey. ”

"Besides, Luculas, don't you have any suspicions at this moment when you see this meticulous and seamless accusation file?" Pompey's words woke Luculas up, and he muttered to himself, "There are a lot of knives and pens in them, they are only in my personal letters and documents, can it be?" ”

At this moment, the crowd where Calabis was located was like a frying pan, and Claudius also stared at curious eyes, trying to search for who the mysterious person that night was. Kelly, the shield-wielding slave, directly and unceremoniously drew the scimitar worn at his waist, ready to break the traitor into pieces.

"All lay down their weapons, this is just an ordinary case that goes through the motions!" Pompey scolded majestically, and Kelly slowly returned to his master's side, sheathing his scimitar. Then Pompey smiled, raised his finger slightly, and pointed at Calabis.

As a result, Calabis's hair stood upside down, and a chill ran down his spine, "O conscience of heaven and earth, great Pompey, we used to have never had a relationship in our lives, but in fact, during this time, the only content of my life was to fight with Porti and enjoy the bliss of swallows, how could I collect Lucuras's treasures and write such a dossier!" I don't have any grudges with Lucuras, on the contrary, I hope to go to Rome in the future and be taken care of by him. By the way, I've only recently learned about the law, and this thing is so full of excitement that I can't write it even if I want to! Thinking in his heart, his mouth trembled with anxiety.

"Get out of the ranks." Pompey continued to smile, "It's okay, as you asked in your letter, I promise you won't get any harm." ”

"I" was just as Calabis was about to take a step to defend himself to all the people, when one of his side slowly walked out and said, "Yes, it was the contemptible who wrote the sins of Luculas on this file for the sake of the justice of the Legion. ”

"Hey!" Calabis had a huge exclamation mark in his heart, and then he looked at the "traitor" who stood up beside him:

That's right, it was his voice, and Claudius heard it—Lucuras's personal herb slave, the Jewish Galileean, Demetrius!
