Augustus Road

But there is no need for Calabis to boycott him. He is a politician. Politicians do things on the surface but behind the scenes. Who knows what he wants to achieve with this plan, but at least this plan will never be passed unless the people in Rome People are collectively stupid, so there is no point in worrying about it. Calabis was more concerned about Langjishi's problem: "Sir, I can only say that someone is slandering me. I have always been a decent businessman (that is, I went astray when I was short of money). I don't know Langjishi." "My patron is Tuna. He has become a victorious general and is free from the world. My family and I are no threat to you. Please believe me."

"Family? Do you think you will have family soon!" Catiline laughed ferociously. When he saw Poti and Paluma, his eyes were different.

Calabis's hair was about to explode suddenly, and he suddenly shouted: "Go ahead and propose your ridiculous bill, and don't even think about touching my family!" A big man next to Catiline thought that Calabis After offending his master, he was about to catch the chick with a hawk at Calabis. Then his outstretched hand was held and bent by Calabis, and then Calabis pushed his hand back. Come on, the guy's eyes were so bloody that he couldn't even scream because he was pounded by his fingers. He slowly covered his eyes and squatted down.

But Catiline did not move at all. He looked at Calabis with a smile and said: "Don't provoke me, I can't bear to kill you. You are still an important tool for me to stand up. To tell you the truth, Langis has been found by my people. I'm going to use him and you to recover my innocence in court and find out who is behind you, Tuna? Cicero? Neruda? But anyway, hurry up. It's over. I've been displeased with you since the tuna's triumphal ceremony. A foreigner who is so arrogant will only ruin the atmosphere of Rome. The gluttons and hedonists cannot live without you, but I, Catiline, are different. "

After saying that, the evil guy smiled and winked at Paluma, which made Calabis feel horrified, and left the school with a group of people.

"You have to pay attention to him. This guy is a lunatic. The craziest aspect of him is that he will do what he says." Milu walked up at this time. "He was a murderer during the period when he was declared a public enemy. I heard that he was... Joining forces with Sulla veterans and many unemployed hooligans in the Etrunia region, they embark on a shocking conspiracy."

"Yes..." Karabis also agreed in his heart, and then he saw Bodi walking towards Paluma, and he put a smile on his face and said it was okay, that guy was acting recklessly. Intimidating.

However, in the next few days, Karabis could not sleep well in the apartment on Jukora Street. He always felt frightened at night and watched the dark window frames and curtains swayed by the wind. , and finally he had to admit that he was intimidated by Catiline, the bastard - he must find Langis now!

Find Lang Jishi, and then what to do, yes, kill him, kill him and silence him.

In this way, Catiline had no excuse to threaten him.

At night, looking at the gleaming fighting sword in his hand, his breathing became a little faster. At this time, a hand suddenly placed on his shoulder, a rapid shaking of candlelight, with Bodie's exclamation, Kara Bisi's sword blade was already touching her heaving chest.

"You and Paluma, go to Apilon's villa to stay temporarily as soon as possible. I have to go out to do things these days." Karabis put down the fighting sword and supported his forehead with his hand as he said.

The next day, he stood in the courtyard of Prima, smiling at a small banquet hosted by his mistress Claudia, watching Claudia say "vulgar" to those knights or free people. "Commoner" language, this girl is very powerful. She specializes in using this style of conversation to deceive the trust of nobles and common people, and expand the chain of interests and connections for her family. Of course, it mainly paves the way for her younger brother. But sometimes Claudia would pay a physical price for it, having an affair with one of the most valuable guys among them.

In fact, several freemen here recognized Calabis on one side. They knew that this was now the richest and most arrogant freeman in Rome. They admired him and thought that this mysterious guy from the East was a legend. , when he came to Rome three years ago, he was still penniless, but now - some say he has three million sesterces, some say he has no less than five million - many people need his care for their business and help.

But the more these free people and knights wore uneasy smiles on their faces, standing for Calabis while sitting down and feeling self-conscious, the more Claudia wanted to fully exert her mistress' power. She didn't want Karabis to sit at the table and kept talking about some topics, just to show her "superior relationship" with Karabis and shock everyone present.

Finally, Claudia raised her beautiful chin, as if she had just seen Calabis, with a noble surprised smile, "Oh, everyone, I forgot to introduce you, this is under my protection." A freeman named Calabis, maybe you know him?"

"Yes, yes!" Almost everyone present lined up beside the fountain, standing excitedly, preparing to get acquainted with Calabis. This kind of scene actually made Claudia feel happy instantly. This was the effect she wanted.

But Karabis had no intention of shaking hands and greeting them. Instead, he whispered directly to the mistress that he hoped to have a private interview with her.

"Is it something important? Can't we talk about it here?" Claudia pretended to be mysterious, and then looked around the scene with an apologetic smile, to make others think that there was some kind of high-end and mysterious tacit understanding between her and Carapis, and outsiders could not interfere.

Carapis was so anxious that he could only take a step further and said, "Yes, I have given the gifts and tributes to your maid. Please allow me to move to the small reception room to talk." "Oh, Carapis, it turns out that there is really an important matter - by the way, you have enough gifts, you can wait and send them next time - everyone, excuse me for the time being, I have some private matters to discuss with this Carapis." Claudia's face was full of expressions, and she said goodbye to everyone with a charming smile, then turned around gracefully, and went to the small reception room with Carapis following.

At this time, the tribute of Carapis had been wiped by Claudia's maid and placed on the display cabinet. Then, a maid looked at the golden tribute, which was an abstract statue of a bald little man, with his hands clasped and his legs closed and upright, in the shape of an inverted pyramid, and asked curiously: "Is this a new god entering Rome? I have never seen it before. It looks so strange."

Another maid raised her shoulders and said that it might be the golden statue of the god that Mr. Carapis believed in in the East. After that, she moved the round base and saw a Latin inscription on it:

"This is Oscar, the god of drama in the distant world. It is now sincerely presented to Carapis's mistress, Claudia, to pay tribute to her simplicity, straightforwardness and lack of affectation." The maid slowly read out the inscription.

In the small reception room, Claudia stretched out her slender fingers, admired the red paint on it, sat on the couch, and signaled Carapis to explain his purpose.

"I want to know where that fellow Langjis is hiding now." Karabis said quickly.
