Augustus Road

As a result, at this time, Fulivia suddenly appeared in front of the door of the room. She held her hands on the pillar and looked at Anthony. Her face was pale with fright, as if she had seen something extraordinary. …≦Ding…≦Point…≦Little…≦ said,

This frightened Anthony to stand up and asked Fulivia what was going on, whether she had encountered a terrible evil spirit, but Fulivia couldn't speak at all. It took a long time to say, "Marco, You won’t believe what you see, no way.”

So Anthony walked to the curved corridor with a lot of suspicion, but saw two rows of pillars and the end of the fire. Standing under the mural, a man covered with a cloak slowly removed the cover and faced Anthony. Said, "Long time no see."

"What's going on!" Anthony blurted out, that's what...

In front of the port of Brindisi in May, it was the most prosperous scene. Half of the workers on the dock were loading and unloading goods on the ships, and the other half stayed under the eaves of the warehouse discussing various rumors in Rome. Most of them were Regarding the death of Caesar, one of them was frothing, "According to my opinion, the foreign general Lepidus, Antony, and Brutus are still wrestling on the Capitol Hill. To be honest, We really don't know which side to support. Lepidus' bill once brought the greatest benefit to the province, and now many Italians and Gauls support him; and Antony, who has the closest relationship with Caesar, and the Senate seems to have Value him; what Brutus did in the end is really pitiful!"

Others began to protest, "What can I sympathize with about Brutus? I heard that Caesar treated him as his son. But in the end, he tricked Caesar into the theater and conspired with others to kill him."

"You insects don't understand. This is what the Brutus family deserves respect for. They will not be bribed by personal feelings. Otherwise, Rome would have been a kingdom instead of a republic. Who of you is willing to stand in front of Caesar? Call him a king?" The one who was spitting excitedly retorted. As expected, those others shook their heads. After all, the title "king" is so taboo in the hearts of all classes in the country that no one can say it. name. It's like being under a curse. Wasn't it because he was a great tyrant like Caesar that he was killed by the people closest to him?

Unknowingly, several young people stood in front of this group of people. The leader was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the rest were almost the same age as him. Then the one with yellow hair who took the lead asked the one opposite People who talk endlessly. "Did they kill Caesar because he was a tyrant? Or because he had tyrannical ideas?"

The man raised his head and stroked his rude beard, thinking that these people probably returned from studying in Greece where homosexuality was common. How have the Romans been tainted by them now? I am as old as you At that time, I went out to have sex all day instead of holding hands with a few young men, so I contradicted him, "That's right. Although I sympathize with Caesar, he really wants to be a tyrant!"

"Then the Senate should publicly pronounce his sentence instead of gathering a few people with ulterior motives to despicably assassinate him." The yellow-haired man said with a little anger.

As a result, the one next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Look at Turinus, people in Italy really have the same view on this public case. I think our debate can be concluded. Next, we should go to Sicily." Went to continue our study tour with Sardinia.”

After the group of people left, several dock workers gave up arguing about political affairs. After all, they were just a group of people who didn't know the inside story, and started playing the dice game again.

When he reached the stables where the mules and horses were tied, Leo persuaded Octavian in a low voice, "Turinus, you should be careful. We all understand your pain and anger, but spies may appear here at any time." And the killer, because you are the heir to Caesar's huge fortune, an attack against you may happen at any time."

"Leo is right, we should avoid Brindisi. It is too big for us to stay, but it is also convenient for the enemy. You have to take care of yourself now." Agrippa also said the same.

Then, Mecenas suggested that near the port of Brindisi, there is a small town called Lubii, which is inconspicuous, but has all the living facilities. We can go there for the time being, "My father has a few people there." The property can be accommodated, and then I will send cavalry to Rome to investigate and bring back the news, and then see if there is a trap waiting for us ahead. We will take action as long as we wait for His Excellency Lepidus' order. "

"Okay, but let's not be too negative. When we get to Lubii, we will reveal our identities and announce our candidacy for this year's tribune. Caesar's children will not be secretive, not to mention justice and fortune are still on my side. "On the other side." Octavian then got on his horse and raised his whip.

Lubyi is a small town with beautiful scenery surrounded by various shrubs and streams. Amid the laughter of the children, the group entered the city gate, and then Octavian suddenly said to Maecenas, "Your father's property here, How much is it worth approximately?”

The other party shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, but 500,000 to 1 million sesquiterres were enough. As a result, Octavian said directly, "My dear friend, you can sell them all now and lend them to me. I will immediately repay you double from my uncle's inheritance." Maecenas was slightly surprised, but did not say anything. Instead, he quickly came to the manor. The slaves and servants inside saw that the young master had arrived and hurriedly lined up to greet him. They thought that these young masters were tired of the college life and came to stay for a while. But Maecenas' next words surprised everyone, "Ask the steward to see me and bring the financial slaves with him. I want to sell all these manors within three days."

The steward of his family acted quickly. Since the young master ordered this, he had to do it. Anyway, it was the property that was moved, not the people. In less than two days, Octavian had 200,000 sesquiterres in gold and silver in cash, and some were still in the process of transfer.

"Not enough." Octavian said.

Next was Leo, because Lepidus also had several fish ponds here, so Leo sold all of them without saying anything.

On the fifth day, when they had about 600,000 sesterces in their hands, Octavian nodded, and then he hired a mule cart and a large group of slaves, and came to the local municipal office in a mighty manner, knocked on the door and said to the local elders, "I am the heir of Caesar, and now I ask you to allow me to hold a grand banquet to entertain all the citizens of Lupi and the veteran colony stationed in this city."

The elders in the city hall stared at the group of teenagers with wide eyes. If they hadn't seen with their own eyes that they did bring a large sum of money, they would probably think it was a boring prank. (To be continued...)
