Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 194: Trial

   Cicero was also excited. He was determined to restore the glory of the family since he was a child. Of course, he had to embark on the road of politics.

   Unexpectedly, Li Wei promised the position of treasurer all at once. Although 20 treasurers will be born in Rome every year, this is the starting point for senior officials. After their term expires, they can become the veteran of the Roman Senate.

   "Okay, I promised."

   Cicero said.

   "Trust me, follow me you will have an extremely bright future."

   Li Wei said with a smile.

   "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

   Cicero raised his glass.

  The time for the court has finally arrived. The weather has become cold, but it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm.

  The court is located near the Civic Square, and the trial is open in the open.

   At this time, there were a lot of people nearby. People had already known the news that Leibida was suing Li Wei, and they all came to watch the fun.

   Chief Justice Cassius Longinus, wearing a rimmed Toga, is instructing the staff to set up the venue.

  Some members of the jury have already been present, and they are in groups of three or five, whispering about the trial.

   Although on the surface this was a battle between Li Wei and Leipida, it was actually a big collision between Leipida and the forces of Sula.

   But almost no one is optimistic about Leipida, because Sura’s power is too strong.

After slaughtering a large number of senators, Sura increased the number of senators from 300 to 600. Those who survived either remained friendly to Sura or were Sura’s people at all. Almost all of those who were stuffed into the Senate It's his men.

   Although Sura has resigned, he still has an unparalleled influence on the Senate.

   The jury is all selected from the elders, how could Leipida win?

   It didn't take long for Leipida to come here with 12 guards holding *****.

   Besides him, there are many people who look very familiar.

   "Isn't that a free slave of Nasika Scipio? I remember him."

   "And that tall man, I remember he was the son of an exiled veteran."

   "……"

   There was a lot of discussion. It seems that those anti-Sura forces have all gathered under the banner of Lepida, Lepida can also get more support, and he may even become the new leader of the civilian faction.

   In the face of everyone's discussion, Leibida's face was indifferent, and occasionally he would say a few words to the people around him.

At this moment, there was a commotion not far away, and then the crowd separated. Sura dressed in Toga with a grizzly nose and strode towards this side. Sura’s appearance made the scene silent for a while, even though things had already happened. Three years have passed, but many people still remember the massacre that year.

   Li Wei, who followed him with a smile on his face, didn't look like he was here for the trial, but as relaxed as he was on an outing.

   Then there were a large number of veterans, nobles, and knights. At least more than 100 veterans showed up here to express their support for Li Wei.

   This made everyone sigh, and it was indeed Sura, even if he resigned from the post of dictator for life, he still has unparalleled influence in Rome.

   Su stared at Leibida coldly, a hypocritical smile appeared on Lebita's face.

   "I didn't expect you to have so many people here. Although you have many people, I believe that justice will be postponed, but you will never be late."

   I X, this person is amazing, he immediately put himself in the position of the weak and won the sympathy of everyone, Li Wei secretly praised.

   Sura's face was gloomy, and the others started cursing directly.

   "Leipida, what do you think you are? If you weren't loyal to Sura back then, you could get to where you are now."

   "You hypocrite, how many properties did you buy at a low price? Now that you want to return the properties of public enemies of Rome, I have never seen a hypocritical person like you."

   "……"

   Listening to the scolding of those people, Leipida's face became hard to look.

   At this moment, a free slave stood up.

   "Everyone, please don't slander the respected consul Leibida. He ate our family property at a low price. He was commissioned by my master. Here is a letter from my master.

   Just after he finished speaking, another slave stood up.

   "Also, our house owner also entrusted the respected consul to keep the property. This is a letter from our house owner. Our house owner is willing to donate the real estate to the respected consul Leipida for free."

   "……"

   Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel dumb. Unexpectedly, Lei Pida contacted the owners of those properties. They should have made a lot of transactions secretly, and they were completely united under Le Pida's banner.

   Thinking of this, some people's faces became serious, as if they saw the dark clouds covering Rome.

   "How about it, are you sure?"

   Li Wei whispered.

"no problem."

   Cicero said disdainfully. With the help of Mackian, he found a lot of materials, and this little thing could not trouble him.

Hortensius looked at Li Wei with a bit of dissatisfaction. He thought that Li Wei would come and ask him to be his defense lawyer. He even waited for Li Wei to come and sold his favor. He didn’t expect that he would find Cicero. Could it be that Because he defeated himself in the last court confrontation?

   "Quiet! Please keep quiet! Now that everyone is here, then the court officially opens!"

   At this time, the extremely obese Justice Cassius Longinus said.

   Those jurors were in place one after another, and the whole jury consisted of 50 senators from the Roman Senate.

   Li Wei and others also took their seats.

   "The defense lawyer of the plaintiff is here to speak."

   "Dear justice, jury, and distinguished citizens of Rome, something that shocked Rome happened just three months ago..."

  A thin-looking lawyer stood up and talked freely~www.novelmt.com~ launched a strong complaint against Li Wei.

   Li Wei couldn't help but curl his lips. This man was a very famous lawyer in Rome, but unfortunately he was far from Hottensius and Cicero.

   After the lawyer finished speaking, the audience was silent.

   "The plaintiff's lawyer has finished speaking, and the defendant's lawyer, Cicero, will speak next."

   Cassius Longinus said, and gave Cicero an encouraging smile.

   Cicero stood up immediately, facing the many Roman people and noble officials in the cold wind, he did not panic at all.

   After more than three years of studying in Greece, he has grown a lot.

"Dear Roman citizens, honorable justices and jury, I think the plaintiff’s lawyers are totally nonsense. The “Roma Daily News” says that Rebida’s consul has bought real estate in Rome at a low price. I have some Data, including auction records at auctions and some official real estate information, all prove that the price when Rabida was in power to purchase the real estate was much lower than the usual price..."

   "I object, Archon Leipida..."

   At this time, the plaintiff's lawyer said, but he was interrupted by Longinus before he could finish.
