Chapter 34: The Tightened Noose (70,000 Red Tickets Plus Update)

"How did Matt die, and is there still a living mouth?" Lucius's voice sounded calm and cold.

"The bodies were so close to the vineyard that only the children survived, supposedly, a group dressed as ...... The men of the Roman army attacked them! The children had returned to Pompeii earlier, and now there were rumors that you had tried to cover up your ...... "The steward's head was almost to his chest, and his voice was getting lower and lower, and he could feel a storm forming in his master's calm."

"Head, we've heard about it, what do we do now?" As soon as Shepis came out of the study, he saw Xiu and Yiyun surrounding him with solemn faces.

"Wonderful!" Shepis raised his arm, looked at his hands, and clenched his fists, "You know, I haven't felt this excitement in a long time! ”

"I didn't expect that reincarnation to move the tiger away from the mountain continuously, just to blame Lucius for Matt's death, head, do you think those nobles in the city will believe it?" Yi Yun said excitedly.

"Matt's death is just an introduction, the nobility of Pompeii is not stupid, in fact, such a concentrated large-scale uprising on Fiblom Day, the death of so many rich merchants and nobles who run gladiator schools, but was quickly suppressed by Lucius, many people would have doubts in their hearts. But for the suspicion of a governor, many nobles will not declare, this is politics. Xiu said with emotion.

"Well, Lucius's plan was actually successful, and no nobleman dared to question Lucius directly about this suspicion, they needed time to communicate and confirm. In a few days, once the Roman Senate recognized Lucius's work in suppressing the uprising, this hidden undercurrent would quickly subside, and no nobleman would oppose a future consul for the sake of a dead man. Shepis said self-deprecatingly.

"But Lucius's plan was seen through by the reincarnation at a glance, and pierced the thin crack left by Lucius into a huge hole, so that the nobles of Pompeii City clearly saw the truth and forced Lucius into a dead end step by step!"

"He's just lucky, what if Lucius hadn't led his troops to that Matt's vineyard?" Yi Yun pursed her mouth and said unconvinced.

"The number of slaves on the estate was so large that it was impossible for Lucius not to take it seriously. If Lucius doesn't go to the vineyards, then I guess that reincarnation will really lead the gladiators to start liberating the agricultural orchards on the outskirts of Pompeii one by one! The virtual can become real, and the real can also become virtual, and that reincarnation has used the 'potential' to the extreme, amazing! Shepis said appreciatively.

"Head, I now understand why a high-end team like ours has entered this low-end space-time intersection, and there is also a symbolic mission to protect Pompeii, it seems that ~ after the comprehensive evaluation of the strength of the reincarnation by the two superstring spaces, our side is indeed at a disadvantage!" Xiu You said leisurely.

……

"Lucius is finished! Joseph, what are we going to do? Qin Long said excitedly.

"The gladiator corpses turned into torches, Matt's orphans who were spared. Hee-hee, that reincarnation is not only revealing Lucius's conspiracy to the nobles in the city, but also conveying the message that Lucius is about to be finished to us, the hidden rebel forces! Rose pulled the black robe on her body and said with a smile.

“…… Qin Long, Rose, you substitute yourself into Lucius's current feelings...... How is it, is there a sense of familiarity......" Joseph said with a wry smile as his face twitched slightly

"Old ......," Qin Long groaned in a low voice.

"Cole!" Roland, who had been silent, had a bright light in his eyes.

"This bloodless layout of killing...... It is indeed the style of the old K! The black veil on Rose's face shook slightly, obviously quite excited.

"I've been hearing you talk about this old K, is he really that powerful?" An honest male voice sounded.

"Brother Chen Hao, you just joined the team not long ago, and the replacement is our previous MT Li Gao's position, and it is not clear for the time being, the old K ......" Anon's eyes flashed, like the boy next door, and he smiled shyly.

……

"What did you say?" Lucius' eyes widened as he looked at the one-eyed officer in front of him, the leader of the Pompeii Reserve Brigade.

"Governor Lucius, I made it very clear, we will not bring troops to Claudia's manor to arrest people, and you have no right to persecute a Roman nobleman without real evidence." The one-eyed officer said calmly.

"This is an order, not a request, you ...... How dare you disobey the orders of a governor of a republic! Lucius trembled with anger and roared with a flushed face.

"Governor of the Republic? Soon it won't be! The one-eyed officer said coldly, "Lucius, do you know why, when the previous governor died, the reserve brigade acquiesced in you becoming the new governor of Pompeii, instead of avenging the previous governor?" Do you really think that the dinar you pay us is the deciding factor? ”

"Why is that?" Lucius's pupils narrowed, and he asked suspiciously.

"Our reservists are seasoned Roman veterans, and unlike the young soldiers, we have our own judgment! The intrigues and power struggles between you nobles have nothing to do with us, the winner is king, this is the political rule of the republic. We're willing to accept more pious commanders, but there must be a premise! The one-eyed officer said slowly.

"What premise?" All along, Lucius always felt that a layer of fog was shrouded in these brave and skilled reservists, as if only by uncovering this fog could he truly become their commander.

"Just as we can't understand the political~ struggle between the great nobles, you can't understand the feelings of our people for our comrades-in-arms, do you know how many brothers you have lost in planning and allowing the gladiator rebellion?

Two hundred and five reservists were killed, one hundred and thirty-two were disabled, all of whom had parents, wives and children, which could have been avoided! We are willing to sacrifice for the Republic, but we absolutely cannot accept your corpses as a stepping stone for you to enter the Senate. The one-eyed officer's roar was filled with anger.

"Do you believe the rumors, but you're coming with me to Matt's manor......" Lucius' voice stopped abruptly.

"Of course we know Matt wasn't the killer, but don't forget, the one who ambushed the gladiators was our reserve brigade. Don't tell me, the ambush of the rebel gladiators half a day in advance was a temporary news you received, originally we were just suspicious, but after Claudia summoned us, we were convinced that you were the devil, and we were not the young man from Nilo! The one-eyed officer said coldly.

"You must know that the governor of the republic has the right to execute officers who do not obey orders!" A cold glint flashed in Lucius' eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the personal guards in the courtyard immediately surrounded the one-eyed officer.

"Huh~~~Huh!" The one-eyed officer gave a sarcastic smile, and after a loud whistle, a large number of reservists immediately poured into the Governor's Palace, "Lucius, do you believe that half of the reserve hundred-man team here can level your Governor's Palace and kill all of your personal guards of two hundred people. But don't worry, I won't do that, the reservists won't get involved in politics, that's our principle. ”

"The envoys of Rome will be here in a few days, and by that time, all of you will be crucified!" Lucius shouted frantically.

"Lucius, you think too highly of yourself, every reservist is the most precious treasure of the Republic, and all of them have knighthood beyond citizens. The nobles of Pompeii have drawn up a report on this gladiator rebellion, and on this report to the Roman Senate they will be jointly signed by the twelve centurian knight reserves of Pompeii, and, of course, a special statement by the nobleman Bardax! The one-eyed officer turned and led all the reservists out of the Doge's Palace.

"Smack!" Lucius sat down on the chaise longue with blank eyes, and his face was flushed with a dead ash, but soon he seemed to remember something, and a gleam flashed in his eyes again, and he stood up through gritted teeth, "Let's see, I haven't lost yet!" ”
