Augustus Road

When Octavian heard this, he did not have an attack. Instead, he winked at Leo and Maecenas calmly, and then Leo took over the speech, "Please be kind to all Rome and all Italy." Citizens, please rest assured, please rest assured also, specially chosen fathers. We support the return of Young Caesar and have no other ambitions. Of course, we understand that our age and qualifications are not enough to fulfill the public duties entrusted to us by the country and the people, so we come, It is really just to express condolences to the deceased dictator and to realize the gifts that Lord Julius promised to the citizens during his lifetime. We are completely trustworthy - since Caesar's real estate still needs time to be delivered, so Caesar will give him the gift. All the property of the two uncles and their parents was sold, and each citizen present was first given a gift of one hundred sesterces!”

As soon as Leo finished speaking, amidst the cheers of the vast majority of people, many slaves moved the chips and tables and chairs to separate the crowd. The first people who followed Octavian were the first to step forward and queue up. The rest of the citizens were also infected and all They gathered around to get the money - according to Maecenas' plan, each gift was wrapped in fine cloth, with a full amount of one hundred small silver coins inside, and "Little Caesar gives to the most beloved citizen" was painted on the outer packaging. of words. ≥top≥point≥small≥say,

After a while, when the atmosphere of collecting money reached its climax, several people who were also employed - but hired by Octavian took the opportunity to burst into tears, "Your Excellency Julius means what he says, even if he is... Death has taken away lives, but he has not forgotten to let the heir fulfill his promise. If you say that he intends to sit on the people's heads as a tyrant and dominate, I don't believe it!"

"Think about the people who killed him? How many of us are we? I met Casca at the river port some time ago. I said to him, my lord, since General Lepidus left the city of Rome, There are no grain ships in the port of Ostia. My wife and children have been hungry for several days. Sir, do you know what he said? Get out of the way. The murderer acted wantonly, what could be more filthy and disgusting than this? "

The crowd, whether they were carrying money bags or waiting, was once again aroused with anger and sadness. Soon everyone cheered to each other and spontaneously pushed a few guys out, "These are the bastards just now. Slandering young Caesar in the field!”

"Look, I know these people. They are all with bad consciences. No one is willing to lend them money when they go to the market. They are evil-hearted! They must have been instigated by others. After insulting Caesar and Young Caesar, they also want to Sneak in and receive the gift."

"Kill them, beat them to death!" The crowd rushed forward and beat the men to bloody heads immediately. The money bags they held tightly in their hands were also torn off. Agrippa also took the veterans with him. The guards formed came up and whipped these guys who had been making noise in the audience with thorn sticks.

"Don't hit people. Let them go, it's just a different philosophy." At this time, Octavian on the stage said majestically. Then he waved to Agrippa and added, "The money will also be returned to them. I believe these people are also forced by power and money to do things against their will."

At this time, some of the people who had been beaten half to death did not say a word, but just lay on the ground, holding on to the dirty money bags tightly; but there were also two who were so ashamed that they crawled to Octavian's feet. Begging for forgiveness, "We are indeed forced by life, and someone asked us to disrupt the situation..."

Next, Leo suddenly stopped the two men's conversation. He said, "We did not return to Rome to make enemies. As long as we can remind the people of Julius's generosity and innocence, no one should continue to hold the Drunk from the wine cup of hatred, wars and riots have caused too many citizens to lose their property and lives, so Caesar is willing to do this. If you two tell someone's name, maybe the situation will really deteriorate beyond control. "The two guys immediately understood Leo's mentality, and then they quickly climbed onto the stage and returned the money bag in their hands to Octavian, claiming that they were willing to abandon the original owner and join Octavian. In his entourage, he protected Young Caesar and his friends until death.

But Leo persuaded them to take the coins back, and those few people shouted, "I no longer regard these money as a gift from the dead Lord Julius, but as a gift from Lord Caesar, and we must follow it." , that is, Mr. Caesar!"

At this time, all the people in the square were moved. They shouted the slogan "willing to follow His Excellency Young Caesar", braved the drizzle, and walked towards the court with Octavian surrounded. But soon there were only a few people left in the square, and the few brokers who were left on the stage were so angry that they jumped up and cursed.

In the court, the newly appointed procurator Gaius sat uneasily in his seat. There were already people who had received reports from Octavian's appeal agent and informants from his informants, "What else can be done?" ? Let him pay for what his brother committed." Then after Octavian came over, Gaius asked a few questions in a ritualistic manner, and then asked Octavian to get Caesar's adoption documents. Hand it over.

After the seals were correct, Gaius stamped the official seal of the court on the document. Then he smiled and said to Octavian, "You can now use the name of Caesar, because you have officially become his descendant." , is also the current head man of the Julius family.”

"So, theoretically, I have control over the property of my two uncles, right?" Octavian asked Gaius in the seat.

"Of course." Gaius answered. He received the other party in a small room on the side of the court, because this could effectively prevent the public from getting agitated over some sensitive topics.

"Well, I still have some land deeds, that is, Caesar's real estate that needs to be reclaimed. I went to visit my aunt, Mrs. Korpurnia, with my friends before, and then she told me very clearly that all the land deeds are now with your brother." Octavian finally said this.

"Yes, yes... Of course, in theory my brother should return this batch of real estate to you, so as a civil servant, I will unconditionally protect your request." Gaius said hesitantly.

"Then please give us the execution document, and I will go to visit Mr. Anthony immediately. He should be in the Bergalongdi Manor now?" Octavian stretched out his hand and said.

Gaius smiled bitterly, then stamped the official seal on the execution document, and then asked his attendant to hand it to Octavian. Octavian took a brief look at it and bowed to Gaius to thank him.

Then, Octavian led a team of many people to the Bergalondi Manor. (To be continued...)
