Chapter 8 Adoption within a day (1)

"I should say that all forms of coercion, whether by law or otherwise, are denial and trampling of the law." - The dialogue between Algibiades and the guardian Pericle

————————————————————

Crassus' statement immediately gave full momentum to the elders present, and even Catholic was happy. Crassus would sing a counter-tone with Caesar at this moment, which was obviously expected. Because in the case law that Caesar forced the Senate to pass before, there were items to reduce the debt of the knights and lower the tax deposit threshold. Who has the largest number of knights in Rome? It was Crassus, and there were about 5,000 knights affiliated with him. Once this case could be implemented, Crassus would naturally suffer the most money.

"But I have a condition, that is, you must be responsible for the previous compromise with Caesar. The case was finally passed. I can only try my best to minimize the losses." Crassus asked slowly, "Let the new inspector give me the list of Knights who apply for registration for debt relief."

You should know that Crassus does not have any public office now, and this unrestrained illegal request really makes many veterans feel insulted and embarrassed. However, Bibruce and Gatto gritted their teeth and agreed to Crassus' request, and had always had a disagreement with him. In addition, Cicero, who had just shouted that Pompei wanted to let Caesar enter the city, could only shut up and quietly retreat to an inconspicuous corner.

In the end, Crassus, who had the list of treasury flowers, was proud and promised to immediately use money and financial resources to support Bibruce and openly boycott Caesar.

After that, Crassus handed over the list of flowers to the slaves beside him, and then saluted the people around him easily. Yi left Bibruce's house. Just after Crassus left, Cicero walked to the side of several central nuclear characters again. Xiao Gatu saw him and asked in a low voice: "Can you persuade Pompey in this matter? You have to know that I have been resisting Pompey's proposal before. There are also Crassus operating behind him. This guy full of stinking stinking is not trustworthy. We have to be foolproof in this matter."

"Of course there is no big problem. We can let Crassus withdraw his assistance to Caesar in money first, and then use the veterans' resettlement plan to privately persuade Pompei. Anyway, they can't get online, so they can use this to play with them in their palms, but you should not interfere too much in Pompei. You have to know that he still hates you very much in private." Cicero rubbed his fingers on his nose and reminded.

After the complete discussion, the veterans gradually stopped quarreling and discussion, and left one after another in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, surrounded by the servants who were lit torches, Crassus walked to the garrison in his house. Neri Libida flashed out. Crassus smiled at him and handed him the list of flowers he had just received in his arms. "Remember, you and Caesar plan such things in the future. You have to explain it to me in advance. You must know that after I learned that the new jurisprudence and regulations were introduced, I was indeed full of anger at you."

"So calm judgment is a necessary virtue for anyone. The case is a case. If you have the items on the table, as long as you get the list of flowers, which knight will reduce the debt and which knight will lower the threshold for tax deposit, it is not your final decision? This will only benefit your knights' advantages. When making rules, the lions in the forest will naturally consider the interests of elephants, and in the end they can only sacrifice characters such as deer and rabbits." Li Bida also smiled, then rolled the list of flowers and stuffed them into his bronze books. Crassus smiled heartily, saying that you said things are very vivid and vivid. Then he pulled the wrench finger and said: "As long as you give preferential and benefits to the knights who are loyal to me, those veterans who only have three or five knights will be completely squeezed out by me in terms of economy, and the specific things will be left to you to operate."

"Of course, during the year Caesar was in power, I will not only help you strengthen the power of money, but also win over the veterans who have formed a system and make full preparations for your expedition."

After hearing Li Bida's words, Crassus smiled even happier. Even though he said it was interesting and interesting, he took his slave into the house. Li Bida carefully closed the bronze tube and put it on the lid. His sharp eyes looked around in the dark for a while, and also walked away under the protection of several confidant slaves.

In Caesar's residence, there was also a bright candlelight. Caesar and Ebro sat on a chair, with their heads together, holding Cicero's secret letter in their hands. This letter was naturally written to Pompey. But when Cicero's slave Tello had just sent the letter to Demethlius, the Jewish man followed the request of the Three-headed Alliance and sent the letter directly to Caesar. As a result, looking at the contents, Caesar was so happy that he couldn't stand up: "Sure enough, Cicero is a clown who only knows how to pique the tongue. He thought that this would deceive Pompey to deal with me. Ebro, the first battle is about to start in the Senate. Time is not long, you go and prepare carefully." After saying that, Caesar put Cicero's letter on the candlelight and slowly ignited it. After watching it turn into ashes, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, when voting for the land law, as Caesar expected, the battle naturally started in the Senate's chamber. Before Caesar finished expounding the plan, Katu stood up again and said that the Senate should give priority to the proposals Pompei had proposed before. Then he started chattering and used the "obstruction of the matter". When Caesar sternly asked everyone to give priority to his plan, most of the veterans stood up together, including Crassus,

He shouted the slogan of "VETO" to Caesar, saying that they fully agreed with Xiao Katu's opinion that the issue of resettlement of the Eastern Kingdoms must be solved this month. As for Caesar's land law, it must be automatically postponed. However, Caesar argued that half of his rule had passed and there was not much time to put it aside. Xiao Katu became even more excited and said that it would be better than Bruce's rule month. As a result, it caused a lot of malicious laughter in the Senate.

"My lord, I remember that I warned you last time that if you use the trick of hindering the matter, I will definitely punish you more severely. This time I won't be beaten with a stick like last time." After saying that, Caesar waved his fist, and the entourages walked in again and wanted to pull Xiao Jiatu away. The elders were angry, and they also grabbed Xiao Jiatu. Like tug-of-war and wrestling, several older elders were tripped to the ground, and they fell to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses. Some took out the stones and rotten apples that had been loaded in advance and smashed towards Caesar's entourage. The entire Temple of Concorde immediately turned into a battlefield.
