- Centumaros and his Fifteenth Legion, who had high hopes from all Romans! The news of their destruction immediately plunged the whole of Rome into chaos.
You must know that in Pompey and the Senate's efforts to boast, Centumaros was a rare "military genius" and the hope of Rome in the next ten years.
But now this "hope" has been completely shattered.
The Romans did not know how Centumaros failed, but all kinds of rumors from the front were spreading all over Rome. The Romans had legends about the leader of the barbarians, a guy who always wore a skull mask.
It is said that this man was favored by the devil and had endless power. £® £® £® £® £® He also has two most terrifying helpers, one is the blood devil who can instantly take away the enemy's life, and the other is the "Vulcan Mask Man" who can summon the fire god Loki to help. £® £® £® £® £® The Romans still legend that the devil gave his three messengers a mission: to completely destroy Rome. £® £® £® £® £®
In an era like this, rumors are often the most terrifying, especially when ordinary people cannot get effective information at all. They couldn't imagine how an entire legion failed, and they could only retell the magical stories they had just heard from others with vividness and exaggeration.
And once such a story spreads, it is difficult to contain it. £® £® £® £® £®
The Romans loudly asked their Senate how to deal with the situation before them? How to deal with those barbarians? And a voice started to sound:
Since the governor of Gaul was appointed to conquer the barbarians, why should another province of Germania be appointed? How did this allow the invincible Caesar to concentrate on completing his work?
But such questioning was quickly refuted by Pompey's followers. They pointed out unceremoniously that even Caesar was no longer invincible in front of the barbarians, and he had also been defeated by the barbarians again and again. .
This kind of questioning makes the other party confused. However, the serious question is, does Rome still have an opponent that can deal with the barbarians?
The Senate could not answer, and Pompey could not answer either. £® £® £® £® £® He never dreamed that Centumaros, whom he used to deal with Caesar, would suffer such a terrible failure.
Before Servius arrived, Caesar was no longer a threat. But Pompey had a headache. The destruction of the Fifteenth Legion dealt a huge blow to his reputation. Coupled with the previous changes in the Poseidon Festival, Pompey's status in the hearts of the Romans has quietly changed.
what to do? Pompeo could not think of any good solution. £® £® £® £® £®
But after he was troubled for a few days, a piece of news finally cheered him up:
Theas. Meleus. Senator Splius is back, and he's bringing back two carts full of grain.
Without any delay, Pompey immediately sent someone to invite Congressman Splius to his residence. When he saw Splius again, the young Congressman said: "Pompeo, my friend I finally lived up to your expectations. Although it was very difficult to find food, I still managed to bring back two carts of food. I think you can explain it to the Senate."
"Thank you, Congressman Splius, you always try your best to help me when I need it" Pompeo forced a smile, then briefly asked about the situation on the road, and then continued He quickly turned to the topic: "Congressman Splius, have you heard about the terrible disaster in Germania?"
"Are you talking about Centumaros and his Fifteenth Legion?"
Seeing Pompey nodded, Wang Weiyi sighed: "What a terrible thing. Such a terrible thing happened to Roman soldiers. I heard that even Governor Centumaros fell into the hands of barbarians. , I really don¡¯t know how horribly he will be treated by the barbarians.¡±
"That damn fool, he completely failed my expectations" Pompey felt a little resentful when he mentioned Centumaros' name: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this now. Embarrassing. Now the whole of Rome is talking about this, and everyone is asking me to come up with a solution, but what can I do? Splius, what can you do? My solution to the problem?¡±
"I shouldn't be involved in such a thing, but your sadness makes me feel heartbroken" Wang Weiyi pretended to think about it for a moment: "The most important thing now is to stabilize Rome immediately. The situation, let the Roman citizens know that the failure of the front line is not your responsibility."
Pompeo was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
? ???The closest to the barbarians, besides Centumaros, was Caesar. Wang Weiyi smiled: "Before the Fifteenth Legion arrived, Caesar suffered defeats again and again. This greatly inspired the confidence of the barbarians." And I also learned from some channels that after Centummarus arrived, Caesar was very uncooperative. He kept making things difficult for the governor of Germania, and Centummarus could only betray him when he was completely unfamiliar with the situation. Fighting under such circumstances, I think it is difficult to win in this way. £® £® £® £® £® "
In just a few words, Pompeo understood it immediately.
It is indeed a good idea to put the responsibility completely on Caesar.
But the question is, what if this angers Caesar?
As if he saw the other party's doubts, Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Why are you feeling sad, Pompey? Caesar may be angry, but do you think he will betray Rome? I don't think so. Even if you take a step back, Caesar really If he betrays Rome, then he will inevitably become a public enemy of Rome, and the whole of Rome will regard him as an enemy. Isn't this what you want? "
For the first time in a few days, Pompeo's face showed a smile: "Spurius, my friend, what can you tell me to say? When I was most confused, you answered my inner doubts. .When I need help the most, you always give me confidence.
I can assure you that the alliance between you and me is unbreakable. "
"I can also assure you of my loyalty." Wang Weiyi smiled half-heartedly, and then suddenly asked: "Is there any news from Governor Centumaros?"
Pompeo's face darkened again: "Yes, it is said that the barbarians demanded a ransom of thirty ores, but Centumaros seems to have owed a huge debt, poor Singroa. When When news of Centumaros's failure came, she had to face a large number of creditors coming to her door every day. Where could she find thirty ores? Centumaros had disgraced the Romans.
This is his punishment! "
"Isn't the Senate ready to find a way for him?"
"The Senate will not pay thirty ores for a loser." Pompey said coldly.
"What a wise decision" Wang Weiyi said and stood up: "I think you still have a lot of things to do, such as how to divert the anger of Roman citizens. And I miss my time on the Palatine Mountain very much. Home, I'll take my leave now. Splius is always waiting for your call."
He knew that he had successfully persuaded Pompey. When Pompey decided to desperately shift all the responsibilities to Caesar, it meant that even the superficial peace between the two was gone. £® £® £® £® £®
Wang Weiyi returned to his home in Baladin Mountain again, and the butler Balras welcomed him in respectfully. He also told his master that during his absence, countless Roman nobles or wealthy people came to visit the senator. And they try their best to invite members to visit them at their convenience.
You know, Councilor Splius is now the most popular person in Rome. Who wouldn¡¯t want to know such a young and wealthy man?
Tierlia and Sylvia were also very happy when they saw Wang Weiyi. I haven't seen them for a while, and the sisters have become more and more beautiful. I don¡¯t know why
Wang Weiyi suddenly thought of the nights he spent with his sisters, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. £® £® £® £® £®
"Ah, Master, in the past two days, Singroya, the wife of Governor Centumaros, has come to see you several times and acted very anxiously. She repeatedly asked me to tell you that if you come back, please be sure to Go to her place once, she has something very important to ask you," Balras said at this time.
Wang Weiyi nodded. He knew very well why Singroya, who was in despair, was so anxious to find him. £® £® £® £® £®
"Hey, that's fifty dinars! Mrs. Singroya, I'm not forcing you, but you have to repay this debt and I don't care whether your husband is here or not!"
"That piece of silver jewelry belongs to me. Put it down for me. Centumaros owes me twenty dinars!"
"Are you crazy? Centumaros owes me thirty dinars, and this jewelry is mine!"
The mansion was in a state of chaos, with more than a dozen creditors desperately trying to force Singroya and plundering everything of value as much as possible.
Poor Singroya couldn't say a word and could only look at everything in front of him with tears silently. £® £® £® £® £®
What else can be said? Not long ago, these people looked flattering on their faces.
They want to be their husbandsThe triumphant husband can recover their investment to the maximum extent. But when the news came that her husband had failed and was captured, the expressions of these people suddenly changed. They appeared in their own homes like greedy wolves. First, they kept pressing for debts. After they had squeezed out all of Singroya's money, they unscrupulously took advantage of the mansion and the things in the mansion. .
They are simply robbing!
¡°Natis, the former supreme consul of Rome and the only spokesperson in Rome for Caesar, the governor of Gaul, has arrived!¡±
When this sound sounded, the creditors stopped what they were doing.
Natis walked in with a sullen face. He looked at the creditors: "Who allowed you to plunder the things here?"
When the creditors heard Caesar's name, they were a little scared and couldn't help but put down the things in their hands. Singroa thought she had met a savior, but she didn't expect that Natis' subsequent words would make her heart fall into the ice cave:
"Governor Centummarus owed Governor Caesar a huge debt. Now, Governor Caesar is Centummarus's largest creditor. According to Roman law, the largest creditor has the right to give priority to all the debtor's property. So. No one is allowed to take anything from here."
The creditors kept cursing in their hearts, but what could they do? This arrogant guy represents the arrogant Caesar!
But Singroya was completely desperate. But something that made her even more helpless had just happened.
"The ownership of this house will belong to Governor Caesar" TiØ said coldly: "Mrs. Singroa, you must leave here when the sun rises tomorrow. You can't take away anything here. One thing, including your slaves, is the divine right given to creditors by Roman law!¡±
"But, where did you want me to go?" Singroya cried out sadly.
"This has nothing to do with me" Natis' eyes suddenly fell on Singroya's neck: "Ah, there is also this necklace, it is worth a lot of money, and it also belongs to Governor Caesar, please take it off immediately."
"No!" Singroya covered the necklace around his neck: "This is my private property."
"You and Centumaros are husband and wife, so your debts should be borne by you." Natis showed no mercy: "If you are unwilling to take off your clothes, then I can only help you personally. Take it off."
"Singroa is about to collapse. God, where are you now?" Don't you see that your loyal followers are being oppressed by these shameless people?
The husband is in the hands of barbarians, and is perhaps now suffering terrible abuse. At this time, she could not even save her house and all her personal property.
When the news came that her husband had failed and that the barbarians demanded thirty ores as ransom, Singroa was completely panicked. She went to her husband and her friends to borrow money. But those guys who had been so flattering before Everyone made excuses to evade, and some even closed the door behind closed doors.
She can¡¯t find anyone willing to help her. Is there anything more tragic than this?
"That's the necklace I gave to Singroya. Who dares to take it off?"
Just when Singroya was in complete despair, a voice rang in a very timely manner. £® £® £® £® £®
"Spurius?" When he saw this person walking in, Singroa shouted like a drowning man grabbing a board.
"Who are you?" Nattis asked coldly.
"Congressman Theas Melius Splius." Wang Weiyi replied with the same cold voice.
When I heard that this person was the mysterious millionaire Splius, the room fell silent.
"Hello, Congressman Splius." Natis knew that this man had been having a heated fight with Pompey recently and that Rome was now Pompey's territory, so his tone became much more polite: "I am executing Caesar. Do you have any questions about the powers of the Governor?"
"Of course I want to ask what happened here." Wang Weiyi did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
Natis tried his best to sound respectful: "You have just returned to Rome, so you probably don't know it yet. Everyone here is a creditor of Governor Centumaros, and I, as the honorable The only spokesperson of Governor Caesar in the city of Rome can declare here that Caesar is the largest creditor of Governor Centumaros and that I will take over everything here on behalf of Governor Caesar, and this is the power given to Governor Caesar by the sacred Roman law. "
Wang Weiyi came to Singroa's side, he smiled and encouraged the helpless Singroa with his eyes, and then set his eyes on Natis again: "If you talk about Roman law, then I would like to ask "Is Governor Centumaros dead now?"
"No, not yet, he fell into the hands of the barbarians."
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Then I don't understand even more. Roman law stipulates that the debtor must be present before the creditors can execute their rights. Or if the debtor has no news for sixty calendar days, the creditors can also execute the same powers. According to my information, Centumaros has not been captured for more than sixty natural days, right?"
Natis was stunned, not knowing what to do.
"You, and all of you." Wang Weiyi's tone suddenly became extremely stern: "You blatantly flout Roman law. This is a very serious problem. Mrs. Singroa, as the wife of a provincial governor, A free man, an upright and respected Roman citizen, has been so insulted by you. I think if the Senate knew all this, it would not let it go. "
Nattis was a little angry. Although there were clear legal provisions, the Senate would not intervene in debt disputes. However, if someone like Splius came forward, the situation would become completely different.
He can completely use his relationship with Pompeo to cause trouble for them in the name of the law.
If you can avoid offending a person like Spurius, you'd better try not to offend him.
Natis suppressed the anger in his heart: "Dear Councilor Splius, since you said such words, I think I can only abide by Roman law. But when the sixtieth natural day comes, I The creditor's powers will have to be exercised unless on that day Mrs. Singroa is able to pay off all her husband's debts. Goodbye, Senator Splius."
"Goodbye, Nats, and have a nice day."
With Nattis gone, and Councilor Splius openly showing up, how can the creditors of Centumaros still stay here?
