Chapter 17 The Prestigious Claudius (Part 1)

"I would rather others ask me why I don't, rather than why I have it." - Gatto's remarks against luxury Hellenism.

—————————————————————

Before, when all the black slaves were exhausted and the rain disappeared, Demethlius finally squeezed out some guys. Although Princia was so angry that she could only please her, kneeled under the Jewish knees, and licked a few drops of fishy things with her tongue.

"Now I can't stop Li Bida from taking revenge on you, but don't worry, the Chief Legal Officer will receive my commission by then. You will definitely walk out of the court without guilt. Your business and reputation will not be affected. After the completion of the Pompei Grand Theater, you will still sit in the front fourteen rows and take the lead in standing up and cheering for the performance troupe." Demitrius was so happy that he pinched Princia's mouth with his hands, making it impossible for her to spit it out, said.

Sure enough, a few days later, Li Bida sued Princia, but he did not sue him personally, but instructed a young nobleman to come. In this way, when Princia appeared in court, a stone in her heart finally fell half. In addition, Demetlius spent a lot of money to hire an extremely powerful lawyer for her and bought the jury votes one by one. Therefore, Princia, who was sitting in the seat, was charming and her lips curled up slightly: As long as she waited quietly until the jury voted a pre-determined number, she would wait for her acquittal.

However, the price I paid for fighting with that guy Li Bida is too bloody. No matter who is smart, I will join in the three bastards such as Pompei, Caesar or Crassus. I will not do it even if I beat you to death.

At this time, in the villa of Pulaima, in the study surrounded by fish ponds and springs, Lukulas and Marcos were both sitting on a ring chair. Kelly sent letters from Caesar and Li Bida. After reading them, Lukulas said to Marcos in a reproachful tone and said, "Don't play such dangerous games in the future, brother. Also, Princia's femto-scorpion woman is almost terrible to my ex-wife. Don't contact her in the future, let alone take my ring away."

Over there, Marcos pouted, nestled in the chair listlessly, feeling a little angry. Lukulas shook his head and touched his head, feeling that his energy and brain power were indeed declining, and that he would gradually lose his ability to protect his younger brother if he continued like this. Now, he could only call Kelly, and take care of all the seals and confidential documents in the house, praying that Marcos would not cause any trouble next time.

This time, let Li Bida teach the femtocratic socialite a lesson.

In front of the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue, the cumulus clouds were covered with darkness. The temple buildings painted with various bright paints were dyed with misty gray. This was the "Combat Command" of the civil guard Claudi. Every morning, Claudi would wear exaggerated cloaks under the guard of hundreds of fans, with white goose feathers inserted diagonally on his head and ochre-red boots under his feet. The steps here had been demolished under Claudi's instructions because he publicly told him.

The people said: "What is the staircase? It is a sin that distinguishes the high and low people from others. If I had been born hundreds of years ago, when I saw an architect inventing this thing, I would push him down from the Talpeya Rock!" There is no doubt that his actions made the people excited. It was crazy enough that Claudin would rather abandon his noble status and join them. The people liked the most such guys who made crazy moves from time to time, right?

In addition, the four courtyard walls of the Temple of Virtue were demolished to the point where only the external side was left. They were transformed into a guard wall by Claudi's party members, and wooden sheds and ladders were set up on them. Every day, a large number of street hooligans held sharp blades, lit torches here to guard them day and night, intimidating the kind and cowardly citizens. The temple became a place where Claudi and his gang did evil. He also followed Li Bida's advice and established a "sign-in system" to turn the gangsters, prostitutes, rogue nobles and young people in the city of Rome, and took a trip.

All the leaders of the association were registered on their own list. These people were preparing to gather in the temple every morning. The fireworks and urination made the originally beautiful goddess murals unrecognizable. On the paintings of the wall, the goddess of virtue stroked the blackened clouds on the wall, and looked down at the most violent Roman elements with quiet and beautiful pupils. Soon after, even the goddess's face was engraved with words - three groups of Latin words, "serious, fanatical, and lively", which seemed to be Li Bida's gift and advice to Claudi.

When Li Bida stood in front of the temple gate with his hands raised, countless villains raised their thumbs at him. Claudi first arrived at the door. When he saw Li Bida, he swung his cloak, looked at him from the air, stood with his feet on his waist, raised his hands slightly, and looked down with his eyes sharply. Then he walked down and walked around Li Bida several times before the two hugged each other enthusiastically (sorry, these dramatic poodles that can arouse the public's fanatic emotions were all handed over by Li Bida to Claudi, and the effect was naturally extraordinary).

"Don't worry about re-election. Caesar has promised me. He said that after he stepped down, all the affairs of Rome will be left to you to make decisions, and Pompey agreed!" The good news brought by Li Bida made Claudi cry.

"Thank you so much. You don't know how timid and worried I was because of the adoption problem that had not been resolved. Now I am about to make a big move in the city of Rome, so that both Caesar and Pompey know what a wise move it would be to choose me as a civil guard." Claudi's boast was absolutely correct. Maybe he was indeed a villain, a gangster, and a stud with a corruption in his private life, but he was inciting populism and driving the people to go through fire and water for him, and he had a talent that even Li Bida could not reach. He was the leader in the "chaotic evil camp".

"Before the big news, I suggest you make a small move, just to practice." Li Bida suggested quietly, "This time you will lead the team to attack the court in Rome. Caesar will step down soon. At the critical moment of deciding that he will be the governor of any party, Claudi, you will play the most important role!" Then he cheered up the person loudly.

"It's absolutely fine." Claudi agreed and waved his hand at the guard wall. The gangsters immediately blew the horns and flutes that were only available in the army. Countless men and women in tattered clothes were like groups of evil ghosts Shuras who rushed out of the gate of hell, holding all kinds of weapons they took toward the court - the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue and the Courtyard were just a big square away.
