To Four Thousand Years Later

Vol 2 Chapter 95: public trial

"Wake up, Your Excellency Tiberius!" There was a slap on the wooden door: "Your Excellency Tiberius! Are you there?!" Tiberius was awakened by the rapid slap.

The voice was not too loud—even if he slept upstairs, he had to call several times to wake him up.

come yet? Tiberius' consciousness was still a little hazy, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The smile was full of malice and sarcasm. That. I don't have to show mercy. He spoke in a sleepy voice, and whispered, "Who is it? Early in the morning. Aaron, bring them in and wait for me in the side hall.

"I don't think anyone will bring us in, Sir Tiberius

With an indifferent voice, his room suddenly opened wide.

It seemed as if it was knocked away or Ruikai's whole tree was tilted and hit the wall, making a loud noise.

He waits on the bed. I silently counted a few numbers in my heart. Then he got up and went to get clothes to put on himself. If the clothes are worn too fast or too slow. Both invite suspicion - because that is not the same as the normal reaction. If the clothes are put on too quickly, it means that Tiberius has long been psychologically prepared for their arrival; if the clothes are put on too slowly, it seems too deliberate.

Even if you only went to get your clothes when you heard the sound of the door being smashed, you should still have time. After all, Tiberius was alone all year round. There was no servant at home, so it was impossible for him to react so slowly that he would sit motionless on the bed until someone broke into his room. Tiberius precisely controlled how fast he put on his clothes, so that the person who broke into his bedroom could see the moment when he put on his clothes in a panic.

. What are you doing? ! "

Tiberius showed strong displeasure on his face: "It's a crime to break into my house without permission! I'm going to arrest you and send you all to the quarry! Where's Aaron? Aaron!"

"Mr. Aron won't hear it."

The person at the head said indifferently. This man Tiberius knew. He is Anaro, a commoner, a former consul, promoted from the army by Augustus... and a dog of the Senate.

Although the Senate is fully controlled by the Augustus House, it does not mean that they have all become useless waste. It's just that the Senate was replaced by an assembly of nobles from the same faction and leader.

After the death of Augustus, it was his most loyal senate that jumped the most. But when he saw Anaro, Tiberius breathed a sigh of relief. So far, it's all bets on expectations. The position of Tiberius consul was taken from Anaro. Because Tiberius did a better job than him, this made people praise Tiberius and belittle Anaro. Because of this, Tiberius was also hated by Anaro, but in fact, it was all designed by Tiberius.

In a political situation, he can't be too dusty. Leaving aside the reasons, Tiberius had to have at least one powerful enemy, so that Augustus would not fear him too much.

A person who has no enemies... Do you want to be everyone's friend if no one is offended? So why don't you just take my place? But if there is an enemy, if there must be an enemy, then Tiberius wants to decide for himself who the enemy is. Anaro is the best option. He was born as a commoner, without a huge family behind him, and his brain is relatively easy to use, but what really separated him from the low-level soldiers was his beautiful face and fair skin. Without that, his tactics would be useless not come out. Anaro's past experience has always left him with a weakness in his heart, which makes him easy to learn and guess.

And in Anaro fumbled for four or five years. After becoming a well-known wisdom and being pulled out by Augustus. The general who was "closest" to him back then unfortunately died on the front line of the Western Battlefield in less than a few weeks. Fortunately, his mouth is strict enough, so he made a name for himself in the Senate. At least in terms of status and their own is symmetrical. That's why Tiberius deliberately offended Anaro. Let those who want to deal with him help Anaro, so that those eye-catching arrows can turn into bright guns, and Tiberius has set up the game before. It was finally enabled at this time.

Tiberius' guards were spies sent by the Senate to stay beside Tiberius. His death would put the Senate on alert.

Because Tiberius had many friends. To be on the safe side, what they sent at this time must be "Tiberius' enemy" Anaro "What did you do to Aaron?" Tiberius frowned slightly angrily: "Anaro, I know you have something against me ! But Aaron is just a normal guy. He doesn't know the contradiction between us!

"Are you really ignorant or confused?" Anaro sneered, his soft voice was indifferent and emotionless: "Last night, your guard Aaron was found dead in an alley on North Street. It was from behind The attack, there is no sign of struggle or battle... and the wound is only a knife, by the way, I just remembered that you have a dagger from Tyre in your collection. The blade of the dagger is similar in size to the wound. Don't you explain it?"

Ruo Ruo said while staring at Tiberius' expression. Tiberius was shocked at first. Then there was anger, then inaudible confusion, but then suddenly his eyes lit up and he became calm. That calm made Hanaro a little uneasy.

...Is it really not him? He clearly remembered that one week after Tiberius took away his consul position, when he reported to Tiberius, he saw him cleaning a dagger with a black handle and black scabbard. Anaro has a good memory. The dagger should be about the same thickness as the wound of the deceased.

Besides, that dagger must have killed someone. The priests' magic detects metal, and can detect whether the weapon has been killed by the way...as long as the wound matches. Qishou responded to the magic, so even if he didn't kill him, he could be taken away as a murderer. This time Anaro was approved by the Senate. As long as Tiberius resists arrest, he can be killed directly on the spot, regardless of the impact. Although this is much less beneficial than capturing Tiberius alive. Once looking at Tiberius' calm gaze, Anaro always felt that he had overlooked something.

"I understand, Anaro." Tiberius said with a sneer, "You killed my guard. Then frame me again? Is this the plan of the Senate? "He looked at the guards who surrounded him. He calmly raised his hand to show that he was not hostile.

"So, have you confessed, Tiberius?"

Anaro ignored his previous words and asked forcefully. As long as he answered yes or no, he could forcibly arrest Tiberius no matter what. But Tiberius shouted to the surrounding guards: "I am the consul of Rome, and I suspect that someone is going to murder me!"

He raised his hands, walked to the window, and shouted to the crowd below: "This is murder! This is an organized and planned murder! Not only for my guards, but also for me." The dead must not Death in vain! Those who have no rules should not be framed, and those who kill should not go unpunished"So what

Anaro put his hands on his chest and said with a sneer, "Acquit you directly?" "No, that's not in line with justice.

"As usual," he said quietly, I applied for a public trial.
