Chapter 13 Going into the Army (Part 2)

At this moment, Caesar stood up and spoke, citing the Roman law, namely the entry "No one has the right to execute or whip a Roman citizen" and shouted for Katilin: "I reiterate that the Senate is not a place for judicial and punishment. These five people should be submitted to the general assembly or the court for trial, and after the crime is convicted, then a decision will be made. And, personally, I argue that neither the five people nor Katilin will be guilty of death, and they only need to confiscate their property and disperse them to the local Free City Prison."

There is no doubt that Caesar's second boycott continued to make the atmosphere in the venue boil. A group of people scolded Caesar, saying that he had suspected an affair with Kathirin, and some even wanted to try and tear off Caesar's robe, but Caesar was extremely flexible. As a result, in the venue, Caesar continued to shout his own opinions while being chased by the breathless veterans.

"Julius Caesar! Descendants of Venus, I have never heard of such punishment. The crime of treason and attempt to destroy the Roman city-state. It is just confiscating property and house arrest. This is also called punishment? Don't bring disaster to all the citizens of Rome in order to excuse a few villains." Xiao Katu took the lead and aroused the emotions of everyone present. Finally, everyone held Caesar down. A guy found a note in his arms, and shouted in surprise, "This is a letter from Caesar's affair with Katilin."

"Give it to me!" Xiao Katu shouted, and then people passed the note one by one, handing it to his hand. When he opened it, he almost lost his eyes. This was nothing else. It was the love letter of adultery between his own sister and Caesar. The full of obscene and slutty words made him tremble all over, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only walk down the seat, stuff the note back into Caesar's arms, and whispered, "Take your stuff, the most famous drunk in Rome!"

"Okay, don't continue the farce, and make a resolution as soon as possible." In the corner, Crasso's majestic voice suddenly came out, and the bustling scene gradually calmed down - here, no one dared not to give Crasso the "mysterious king" three points of face.

The resolution was formed very quickly, and five others including Liantulus, Sidigus were immediately sentenced to death, and the power of the consul was upgraded, that is, the power to decide and veto the war. After the resolution was completed, the entourage immediately came up and put the five others including Liantulus on prison uniforms.

At this time, Lian Tulus suddenly struggled and shouted, "The virgins of the Kitchen Temple lied to me. They said that according to the prophecy of the witch Sibil, there will be three kings named Gonailius in Rome. The first two have already realized it, Sura and Qinna, and this one! This one! Shouldn't it be me!" But no one gave him the chance to continue his madness, and he was dragged out by his entourage.

"I will read a letter from Etruscana to everyone before I personally executed these five culprits, which was sent by the rebel general Manius." Next, Cicero read the contents of the letter, which was nothing more than that Manius still claimed to be a loyal citizen of Rome. The veterans he incited were only deceived and hoped to reconcile with the Senate. After reading it, Cicero advocated: "What I hope is to try to make the sinful plot of Kathirin as much as possible.

, The damage to Rome was reduced to a minimum. Everyone, the main evil has been exiled and the accomplices have been arrested. The city of Rome is safe and sound. I suggest that we take measures to promote both kindness and power against the rebels of Manius. When General Metra's Gaul Legion and General Pompey's Oriental Legion return, we will suppress the rebels, disarm collectively, and release them back to the place of the veterans. Don't let war and destruction spread throughout Italy, the lessons of the past are in front of you."

"Dear Cicero, how strange your actions are! Just now, I didn't give the judiciary Lian Tulus a chance to defend himself, and he aroused everyone's emotions. He violated the convention and sentenced five people to death. Now he talked about kindness, as if Manius and Kathirin were innocent. Can you give me a reasonable explanation? Maybe, are you waiting for your good friend Pompei to come back? I vaguely remember that when Pompei went out to seize the pirates, your speech was really full of praise and flattery for him, which really made others jealous of your friendship." The Crassus in the corner, with a gloomy voice, suddenly attacked.

"I just hope that citizens will not have a large-scale war between them, and that will be a huge tragedy." Cicero spread his hands to defend himself.

"But aren't Turus, Sidigus and the other five citizens?" At this time, Caesar also shot back tacitly. "As we all know, Kathirin and Manius have openly used fascist rods and eagle flags in the military camp of Etruscans. They both became consuls, and the current problems are no longer solved by pardons."

"Most of those who followed Catilin were Roman citizens, and many nobles should use the concept of the Republic to influence and dismantle them." Cicero was still stubborn.

Caesar's voice suddenly became stern: "Since Katilin's crime is a crime of treason, can those who follow him still be considered citizens of the Republic? Dear consul, I hope you can correct your position and not let the elites of the Republic doubt you. What we have seen so far is that under the reward of 100,000 or 200,000 Ses Thus, no slave or free man betrayed Katilin's whereabouts. Except for the sociable man who left the first Toulus, all his followers held on.

In the camp, we wiped the weapons, and the scale had reached 20,000, of which 5,000 received weapons and armor from the workshop of Pohe. This was a war, an absolute war! But you were hesitating in front of it. I understood a little. Now you have been upgraded to a special consul, and Pompei, whom you have been waiting for, has replaced Tegranis in the East and become the new king of kings. Once the consul and the king of kings join forces, there is no room for the Republic to exist anymore."

These words were so powerful that they could not help but cause a huge commotion in the temple.

Cicero is now in a dilemma. He was excited and inspiring the atmosphere, and sentenced five others to death. He was eager to make the final conclusion of the "Katirin's treason plot" and put himself in a halo of justice. However, Caesar and Crassus are now used by him and force him to organize an army to attack the Katirin rebels immediately. At this moment, he turned his gaze to Katirin, but the other party just stared at him coldly, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with his hesitation.

The most famous orator in Rome was speechless, and Crassus slowly made a resolution for him: "I will first issue a motion with the position of espionage officer of the Senate - all party members involved in the conspiracy of Katilin will be disqualified from citizenship, and the citizen registration will be reorganized from now on. In the upcoming war of rebellion, all those who sacrificed their financial and human resources for the Republic, whether from the city of Rome, the Latin alliance city-state, or the Gaul tribe, were released as free people, and the free people were granted citizenship, who were originally citizens or chiefs, and the title of knight was uniformly granted."
