"Of course, the sir will love you." - St. Paul

"When it comes to this, Portia and Sevilla seem to be worried about him. In addition, Portia accidentally revealed the Brutu boarding address to me recently. She said that Sevilla always knows her son best, but she is unwilling to tell Caesar whether it is this way that you can tell Caesar?" Porty said with concern.

"It shouldn't be that my relationship with Caesar can still be close to Sevilla? She told me only one or two reasons. First, Brutu's behavior will definitely target Caesar, so she didn't dare to tell Caesar, and second, she believed that I could solve this problem." After Li Bida said that, he kissed Porty and said that you will stay here these days, gathered the wives of the veterans to inquire about the major events in the streets and alleys of Rome recently, and I also put the rest of the other things. No matter what, I will deal with Portia's father.

Following the clues provided by his wife and mother, plus the assistance of the veterans who were selling goods everywhere and searching for gossip news, the net of searching for Brutu gradually contracted, and Li Bida quickly found his neighborhood.

In the dust rising on the street, the little pigeon and Fan Lundena hid in the chicken cage on a corner of the street, throwing walnuts to play games, while constantly scanning the pedestrians on the street with four eyes. Finally, Brutu, who was dressed in a cloak in an extremely low-key and mysterious manner, appeared beside the reservoir under the arcade somewhere under the entourage of two slaves. He was noticed by the little pigeon in an instant, and he whistled, and the two naughty children who were mingling with him kept a certain distance. Followed closely behind Brutu.

Finally, on the gables of the courtyard where Brutu turned and entered, the naughty child saw that there was no one around and gently marked it with white mud. When they ran down from the steep slope street of Paladin Mountain, the adoptive father of the little pigeon also appeared with people and threw a handful of silver coins to each of them. The two naughty children excitedly picked up the silver coins and ran to watch the dance performance in the tavern on the street.

"Where is this place?" Li Bida, who saw the white mud mark, asked.

"This is the villa of the Senate's senior elected father Bonis." A follower who was familiar with the anecdotes of the Roman city streets replied.

"Squat here." Li Bida and several followers put on shabby patchwork robes. Holding a cracked pottery pot, they sat under the gables as beggars, staring at the figures entering and leaving the Bonis courtyard.

Who would have thought that after a moment, Marcos, from Bonis's door, was Li Bida's adoptive father, the younger brother of Tuna, walked out with a childlike smile!

"What's wrong, bastard." Li Bida cursed secretly, pinched his thighs with his fingers. He resisted the urge to go up and ask Marcos for the final answer. It seemed that his master was now in a semi-dementia state. No one could control Marcos, otherwise how could he be involved in such an inexplicable incident?

Then he clearly saw that Marcos strolled in the garden and walked straight to the fork in front of the road. Several strong slaves were carrying dumpling chariots. Marcos immediately smiled happily and climbed up to talk and laugh at the people behind the curtain. Li Bida stared at the sedan chair for a while, and he felt a little vaguely in his heart. Then, several veterans gradually looked nervous, and finally Brutu walked out in his cloak, his expression was a little gloomy and very nervous. But when he saw Li Bida and other "tragic beggars", he stopped and sighed, and sprinkled a few ass into the pottery basin.

Several beggars who were benefactors immediately surrounded Brutu and thanked him. Just as Brutu covered his nose with a little disgust to avoid the stench on their patchwork clothes, he suddenly seemed to see a bearded beggar who looked very familiar, but before he could confirm, the beggar grabbed him and dragged him to an abandoned alley in the depression of the gable like an eagle catching a chicken.

Brutu was about to resist, and the cold dagger was resting on his throat, "Say, why is Marcos?"

"I don't know what Marcos, I heard that you are Li Bida. My friend, you are still making things difficult for my uncle in front of Caesar's minions?" Brutu judged the identity of the dagger's master and said blushingly.

Unexpectedly, Li Bida grinned his teeth and tied the dagger deeper until Brutu's neck bleeds slightly, "I don't care about Caesar or Gatu, you answer me now, and I'll ask again - why is Marcos here! That's right, it's my adoptive father who is a little mentally retarded."

"But I don't think he is mentally retarded... Put down the dagger, put down the dagger." When Li Bida did what Brutu meant, Brutu covered his throat, held the wall and coughed a few times, then continued with a voice change, "But when you say this, I think back to the past two days when he came to Bonis' house. He spoke fluently in public, but he almost never asked and answered others in private."

"Don't Bonis know about him?"

"Maybe, after all, we knew little about this person before - and, he publicly said that he was speaking on behalf of his brother, Tuna Lukuras, so we didn't question it much."

"Idiots, are you going to assassinate Pompey, or Caesar, or Crassus?" Li Bida said this, and Brutu was a little shocked: How did this guy know the purpose of our party? But it doesn't make much sense to hide things now. He told his friend, Bonis and Bibruce, a group of veterans, and prepared to assassinate Pompey first, because Pompey is now Caesar's most powerful backer, and then suppress Caesar in the war in the Senate, accusing him of his crimes, and finally convicted him openly, just like Cicero did to Cathirin.

After hearing what Brutu called "conspiracy", Li Bida smiled bitterly, pinched Brutu's robe twice, and quickly took out a self-defense dagger, plus an amber board. Then he looked closely and found that there were indeed Bonis, Bibrutu, Brutu, Marcos, and of course his Pylor Lukulas' ring seal. If nothing unexpected happens, Marcos must have taken it out to cover it.

Brutu was about to rob, but Li Bida turned around and threw the amber board to his companion standing at the entrance of the alley. As soon as the companions took it, they whistled and fled with the amber board.

"Don't force me." Brutu turned his hand to grab the dagger again, but Li Bida pushed him back and leaned his back against the wall. Then Li Bida stepped forward like a ghost, bowed his waist and punched his lower abdomen several times. Brutu's gallbladder came out and slowly slid down against the wall.
