Augustus Road

Claudia was a little surprised at first, and then said with an unreasonable smile, "You are crazy - don't think that because your patron is my husband, you can talk nonsense."

"We don't need to hide it. Langis was instructed by someone to assassinate the representatives of the African appeals group. I was also involved because of the lack of money at the time. Later, he was wanted by Cicero because of the consul election. During this period, the whole city is under martial law. I think it is unlikely that he will escape. Since he is your mistress’s lover, I think you may know his whereabouts.”

"What are you doing with him?" Claudia asked, twisting her hair with her fingers.

"How much did he give you to hide?" Karabis avoided the question.

"Eight thousand, a standard drachma." Claudia actually said three thousand more.

"Can I pay 20,000 drachmas?" Calabis gave the price to his mistress.

"If you want his life, add ten thousand more. After all, if he dies in the apartment under the name of the Claudius family, I will have to work hard to eliminate the impact of this matter."

Calabis nodded and said it was a deal. Claudia took out a wax tablet from the small table next to the couch and carved a string of address letters on it. She waved it in front of Calabis' eyes, and then scratched it with a knife. Went.

"Thank you, Mistress." Karabis bowed briefly and left.

Claudia put the wax tablet and the knife on the small table, lay her delicate body half on the couch, and watched Calabis leave with a smile. At this time, a pair of handsome hands came around her back and gently He caressed her chest and neck, causing her to laugh itchyly. She raised her head and kissed the owner of her hands intimately:

"You just returned to Rome. You're staying here tonight. Tuna and his damn retarded brother are going to Campania for vacation."

"But sister, you have to know that I am afraid of the dark at night." Claudius loosened his lips, looked at Claudia with blurred eyes, and said.

"Don't worry, I asked the maid to turn up the lights on my bed in my bedroom. How long have we been together? Three years? Five years?" Claudia scratched her brother's chiseled face with her fingers, " This time I got 50,000 drachmas at once, and I will definitely find you a good official position with Cicero. Being an aide to the military leader Pompey is not interesting after all."

"But just now I heard at the corner of the colonnade that you sold Langjishi for 30,000 owls."

"No, this is just the price of Calabis, and I also charged 20,000 from Catiline. I don't know who of them will arrive first." Claudia sneered, with twelve He was very proud, and then said with a little sadness, "Poor Langjishi, I really didn't expect that his life is so valuable, so many people are asking about his whereabouts, but he seems to still have a full three hundred thousand sesterces." The assets were all obtained from assassinating political opponents, taking commissions from guilds, and deceiving others. They were stored in a temple somewhere. He refused to hand over the key to his life. It was a pity that it seemed that he would never have to tell... ..”

That night, for fear of having a long night and dreaming too much, Calabis hid the truth from Poti and Paluma, and on the pretext of going out to contact business, walked along the path, covering his face tightly with his cloak, towards an apartment of the Claudius family, located in Walking to Dibelina Island, the island in the heart of the Tiber River, he held a torch and crossed the recently completed Four-Headed Bridge. He saw the administrator of the apartment upstairs waving a candle to him. It was the signal that Claudia had talked about beforehand.

There were barking dogs everywhere in the dark night, piercing his ears from all directions, which made Calabis a little upset, but he tried to calm down his emotions and entered the ground floor of the apartment building. The administrator held the stair handle and whispered to him Said: "Up above, the last room to the north - damn, why are you the only one?" Karabis pushed the other person aside, grabbed his key, quickly rushed up the stairs, and pulled out the key that was worn on his waist. He held the steel sword and gently opened the door with the key. When he heard the shaking sound of the bed inside, he concentrated for two seconds and quickly walked in.

Lang Jishi was laughing, swaying his hips like a sieve, fighting fiercely on a plump girl. The screams of the two became louder and louder. The girl first saw Meng rushing towards him holding a steel sword. The guy in front of him screamed in fright, and immediately lifted the thin Lang Jishi off his horse. Lang Jishi turned two somersaults, rolled off the bed, and fell to the floor.

The girl shook her fat body, yelled, and jumped out of the bed. Because there were no windows in the apartment, she rushed straight to Calabis, trying to get out of the door.

Karabis turned sideways, lifted her and hit her head against the wall. Dust fell from the ceiling of the entire room with the impact. The fat woman made a dent in the wall. He fainted immediately, and then saw Langisi quickly crawling towards his clothes with his bare buttocks, probably trying to get a weapon. Then he walked up diagonally and stepped on his hand with his foot. There was the sound of bones breaking and Lang Jishi's heart-wrenching howl.

Then came the negotiation, "You, you must be sent by that bitch of 'Little Coin Plate'! Bitch, bitch! I knew it a long time ago - spare me, spare me, I have three hundred thousand Seth to withdraw." Si’s property is still stored in the Temple of Mercury, I can tell you where the key is, let me go!”

"I'm sorry." Calabis, who looked down on three hundred thousand now and just wanted to silence and cover up his dark history, said in a low voice and raised his steel sword.

Perhaps it was because before death, the mind would become quick and agile. Langis actually recognized the voice of Carapis and held his feet with his other hand and shouted: "Is it Carapis? Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you who is behind the scenes!"

"Who is it? Tell me quickly. If you tell me, I can consider renting a boat to send you out of Rome." Carapis shouted. He was also very curious why Catiline denied that he was the financier behind the scenes.

Then, he felt his feet shaking rapidly. This was Langis's body shaking, a violent spasm. Carapis immediately realized that this was a symptom of poisoning. He was horrified and hurriedly wrapped his hands with his cloak, squatted down to support Langis and turned him over.

Langis continued to twitch, his whites of his eyes turned over, and his lower body continued to ooze out a foul-smelling liquid. Carapis looked back and saw that the fat girl was also shaking on the floor, and a large amount of extremely smelly blood came out of her lower body.

After a short while, maybe one minute, maybe two minutes, the whole room was shrouded in the breath of death. Carabis could not believe his eyes and stayed where he was. Langjishi died, died unclearly. This disgusting poison must have been smeared into the lower body of the woman by someone pretending to be a bliss drug. Then when Langjishi and she were doing piston movements, it penetrated into the body, accelerated the flow, and both died of poisoning.

At this time, Carabis took two steps and saw the dented wall in front of the woman's body. It collapsed completely, revealing the wooden cabinet inside. Carabis stepped forward and took out a bunch of bronze keys with digital serial numbers engraved on them - could this be what Langjishi said, the key to the temple's private collection? It seems that he had long been afraid that Claudia would betray him, and left a spare here in case of an accident.

As soon as he took the key, Carabis heard the hurried footsteps of many people downstairs in the apartment!
