Then, when Banks's children had fled, the old archon set fire to the empty mansion, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and Banks sat down in a circle chair in the middle of the fire, and let the flames burn.

When the firing squad entered the courtyard that had been reduced to scorched earth and rubble, they found Banks' smoky body, which was already damaged and unrecognizable, "What now?" "The other freed slaves, ask the centurion who took the lead, the rules have now been changed, and each criminal squad has two centurions, and about ten veterans, to guard against possible resistance by the public enemy.

Faced with the question of freeing the slaves, the centurion shook his head, stepped forward and used his sword to cut off Banksys's ring, along with his fingers, and then carefully identified it in the ashes, and said that it was okay - the inscription on it was not burned, and it could prove the identity of the deceased, and it could be cut off.

So the freed slaves rushed up and cut Banks's charred head with a knife, and the tendons in the cavity suddenly cracked, and the blood splattered on the people's bodies with a terrifying scream, and scared everyone half to death.

Banksy's children, for the next half day, did not run away, the brothers ran together, only to be sold by slaves, and their daughters were betrayed by their fiancés, all of whom were killed in the street, and their belongings were also looted.

By the time the heads of the Banksy clan were sent to the square, the four had already retired to the barracks to attend to business, so they were tasked with identifying and handing out the bounty. Entrusted by Pansa to the Attorney General, Savelinus. As a result, Savelinus took a lot of effort to deal with things. He noticed that there was always a group of soldiers around him, and when he saw that the sign was the Forty-Second Legion, he stood in a line twenty Roman feet away from his office, motionless.

When Savilinus was over, the group of soldiers, led by the centurion, approached and said to the judge, "Your Excellency Savilinus, there has been a slight change in the list of public enemies. It should be about you. ”

Now, even if Savilinus was a fool, he knew what this meant, and he was still dressed in the robes of the administrator, and he ran wildly in the square, his shackles panting after him, while the soldiers who had come to arrest him continued to chase after him without haste.

Perhaps the servants were too faithful, and wherever Saverinus ran, they followed him and surrounded him in the middle. The legal officer who keeps saying the words "never give up" and is exhausted. Kneeling at the third street corner, and then the rods were gathered from there, the judge reached out to the sky and begged the group to leave, so that he could take off his robes and flee quietly and unobtrusively.

As a result, before Savilinus could finish speaking, another group of soldiers who had been ordered rushed towards him, cut him to the ground, cut off his head, and threw him into the square—just now he was judged and rewarded, and in an instant he became a public enemy, a speed that was simply overwhelming.

These days, in every corner of the city of Rome, the voice of "We have found you" can be heard, the voice of death pronounced.

The priest Merut, who was also honored to be on the list of public enemies, was one of the initiators of the assassination of Caesar, who had almost become an archon, but was later replaced by Li Bida, and could only hide in Tibet for a few days, and finally he escaped to a doorman's building, which was a temple backed by the god of war, an inconspicuous and congested apartment building, full of slaves coming in and out, he and his friends hid in it, and actually hid from the spies and executioners for a while, where Merut was like the most humble person, nesting in a dark attic, eating the coarsest food, and the filthiest drinking water, and the hair could not be cleaned, and in the evening his doorman said to Sùmerut, "Stay here for the time being, and I will go and find a way out of the city, and now the rumors are a little lighter, for eighty senators have died, and their butcher's knives are tired, and if you go out of the city and stay in the country for a few years, I have heard that many have fled to Spain, or to Mauritania." Then the doorman took some money and went down the attic.

As a result, after the doorman left, Merut kept looking down in horror in the blinds nailed with broken wooden planks, and the more he felt that he was afraid that he would be sold by the doorman. Going to exchange it for 25,000 dinars? After thinking about it, Merut quietly put on a cloak made of rags, left the apartment building, and slipped towards his house.

To his amazement, his yard was still there, although all the slaves were gone, and there was no one to guard it, and what surprised him even more was that when he went into the atrium, he saw his wife safe and sound, and was cooking dinner with the two maids who had brought her from her mother's house, and his wife was also surprised to see her husband return, and hurriedly told him to hide in the high chimney behind the yard, and then asked Merut why he had returned, and she thought he had already run away.

"Because I didn't trust the doorman enough, I suspected that he had betrayed my whereabouts to the firing squad, so I had to run back. Speaking of which, I wonder why you didn't suffer, and why my courtyard is so well preserved. ”

Merut's wife's eyes were red, and she said that in order to protect herself, she dedicated herself to the centurion of the famous legion, and exchanged her chastity for thoughtfulness, hoping that her husband could forgive her, "There are still some belongings left at home, you can rest here for the time being, and tomorrow I will find a way to help you out of the city." Merut, blinded by the woman's sweet words, could only half-push and half-enter her chimney attic, but as soon as his wife reached the door, she pushed him in, and quickly tied the door, and then she called two maids with her hair to seal it off, and she ran out as fast as she could—half of what she said was true, that she had indeed hooked up with a centurion, and was now going to exchange Merut's head for a new dowry.

Here, Merut screamed, cursed, and pounded on the door, like a wild beast, and he cursed the mercilessness of the woman, and then he ran to the window where the chimney was as narrow as a slit, and saw the merciless and unrighteous woman, who was coming towards his house with the centurion and the firing squad, and he began to cry, and his eyes were bleeding, and then he trembled, and squeezed sideways through the window, closed his eyes, and fell like a bird, and fell to his wife's feet!

Merut's head was also cut off and sent to the square, but the betrayal of his wife did not end well, and when Merut's doorman returned, he learned of the misfortune of the asyman, and that night he infiltrated the house with a weapon, attacked the woman and the adulterer centurion, killed the man and woman together, and also cut off their heads, hung them on the verandah of the courtyard wall, and then committed suicide to bury the benefactor.
