Chapter 16 Menu (Part 2)
Caesar walked forward and grabbed Vitias's writing board. Then he browsed it on it, then made an extremely angry expression and said to Vitias: "Do you know, bastard, you are fooling the two most powerful people in Rome - Pompei, my best friend, look at the list of plot groups provided by the assassination of you!" After that, Caesar threw the writing board to Pompei from the air.
Pompei shivered and looked at the writing board in his hand with an unknown premonition.
To put it simply, what he saw was the city of Rome everywhere, the menu of the tavern: three assas in hummus, six assas in bread dipped in thin wine, lobster meat mixed with caviar... The maid bites four Seths... Pompey gasped and flipped back and forth twice, then lowered the corner of his mouth and handed the writing board to the entourage's hand, pointed at Vitias with his fingers and asked where the real list was.
Vitias was also panicked. When he was bravely assassinating in the crowd just now, he was so thrust that he was so dizzy that he really didn't know when the list in his arms had been replaced with a menu. But he touched all over his body and couldn't find where the list was. He could only murmur and say, "I've messed up everything."
"This idiot, damn idiot." Pompey cursed in his heart, and then suggested to Caesar that this guy must be fooling us and using the menu to cover the real instructor behind him. At this time, he is to execute him as soon as possible because he offended General Triumph.
It was Caesar's turn to perform. He said seriously no. My opinion was to put this Vitias in prison first, because he not only threatened your safety as Pompeii, but also falsely accused many respected people in the country Reed. This matter must not be left out. I will deal with the problem of Alexander's complaint team. I will interrogate him specifically and must dig out the despicable people behind it.
After saying that, Caesar's entourage rushed forward and dragged Vitias, who was screaming and screaming. Pompey also stood up hastily and said goodbye to Caesar, "I'm sorry, I'll bother you, my dear Julius. But I just thought about it. Egypt's affairs are more important to the Republic. I have fought in the East and have a deep understanding that the wheat there is the key to maintaining the security of the Roman city. Today, the representative of the complaint team was assassinated, which happened to give us a great opportunity to apply for a vote on the Egyptian plan in the Senate."
Caesar nodded and said, "It just so happens that if the Senate disagrees, we will sacrifice Holtian Siuspha again and leave it to the People's Congress to solve it."
Seeing that the other party did not doubt his appearance, Pompey coughed twice and continued his words. "Yes, yes, we have already tasted the sweetness of the People's Congress. We must seize the greatest benefit before the Senate came up with a countermeasure. I fully agree with what you said to me before, supporting Claudi as the election of the People's Protection Officer again, and I will also try my best to support you in accepting the three Gaulic provinces north of the Po River."
"Thank you so much, I will also fully support you in getting the province you hope for. How about Spain?"
"Yes." Pompei said that the deal was made. Then Caesar lowered his voice and said in a tone that only two people could hear, "I have another condition to give you, that is my little girl..." Pompei was startled, and then the two of them started talking in a very low voice, and finally made a laugh. When he was leaving, Pompei and Caesar hugged each other. Pompei said in a very relaxed tone: "I just reacted too much to the assassination of that clumsy guy. It was too ill-despair of my demeanor as a general of triumph. Now it seems that this person named Vitias may be a mentally ill bastard. There are too many bed bugs in Rome."
"Then I will rinse the bed bug back into the sewage ditch with water." Caesar kept his charming smile and said calmly.
After Pompei left, Li Bida looked around and stepped onto the steps of the official residence. After he entered Caesar's room, he closed the door and handed the amber board in his arms to the consul. Caesar looked at it and asked, "Where is my child Brutu? Where is he?"
"I have arranged for people and ships to take him to sea to Greece."
"This confused child." Caesar carefully put the amber board away, then stood up, turned his back to Li Bida, and after a long time he said, "Yes, he is a child after all, and I will always forgive him, even for Sevilla."
Li Bida didn't know what to say for a moment, saying that you have to pay attention to this one in more than ten years, and kept forgiving Brutu and stabbed you with a dagger. But now, what can I say, and the person on the other side will not believe it. Isn't it just Pompey who is going to conspire to assassinate this time?
Just as Li Bida was in a daze, Caesar turned around and said, "You are responsible for handling Vitias's affairs. You will also go back and tell the Ptolemy father and daughter who are staying there to rest assured that the request of the Alexander's complaint team will be completely rejected during my term of office, and during my father-in-law Bisso's consul's term in the coming year, the matter of expedition to Egypt will be resolved."
"That's all for Vitias, but you should know that the messenger behind the scenes is..."
"So what? Remember that even if there is a secret battle, now Pompei and I have a greater exchange of interests. If you want to buy the largest tuna in the fish market, don't worry about the fishmonger's weight being extorted by half a pound." Caesar interrupted Li Bida's confusion and said that the matter ended here, "But if you want to retaliate privately, I won't ask."
Li Bida nodded and retreated.
Late at night, several executioners wearing brown and black cloaks threw the body of Vitius's scars into the drainage channel behind the temple of Jupiter. Li Bida beside the canal waved to them, then took out his purse, accompanied by a small writing board. The executioner left the money and left the writing board to Vitius's body. When the executioner left, Li Bida walked to the canal and muttered to the civilian who had a bad head, "Actually, I can't blame me for this matter. According to my original intention, it is to torture you and force you to say that Pompei was the messenger, which embarrassed Pompei, but now neither Pompei nor Caesar want you to survive in this world. You are an abandoned son, one of the millions of abandoned sons in the city of Rome. Please rest assured that your family, I will send them some money and send someone to protect them secretly."
The wind blew in early autumn night with the cold wind, and the shadows of trees and shrubs were surging with the sound of whistles. On the other side of the temple, Demethlius and several followers stood there. The Jewish shrugged his shoulders at Libida and left. The meaning was obvious: I will not ask about the little movements you made about Vitius's body. Anyway, this guy can no longer speak, and the master is right to act like a mistake.
