Chapter 14 Katu's Account Book (Part 2)
"Uncle, uncle!" Brutu ran to the burned camp without any expression, afraid that Katu would encounter any accident. The Governor of Cyprus just blocked his face with his hands and resisted the scorching smoke. He said in a self-deprecating tone, "It seems that God does not want to take my life away. I happened to care about the food tonight and walked out of the camp because I couldn't read Plato's books at all." At this time, several camps around were quickly affected. Brutu suddenly woke up something, called the account book, and was about to go to the fire to grab it. As a result, he was pulled by Kassi, "Idiot, there is nothing left in it."
A moment later, Liberus Pelagirus fell to his knees in front of his master, and Katu's tone was gentle, "You caused the fire, what's going on?"
"Cold... and the paddlers are burning... and it's burning..." Peragirus came and went, and could only pop up these words. He had this kind of virtue before, and he never read and read. He was like a high-end Greek slave. He only knew how to work, but there was no way that Xiao Katu's family liked this kind of slave, so he was released in the will of Xiao Katu's father and still did some physical work in the family.
Brutu wanted to say something, Xiao Jiatu swung his hand gently, meaning that he would not need to continue. "This is an accident. If the account book is kept by me personally, there is no guarantee that it will not be destroyed. It can only be explained by God's will. Reckless suspicion can only hurt more people's hearts."
"But both books were damaged, and only one person had the final say about what we had on Cyprus. That was Libidaus, who was holding the original book in his hand." Kasio quietly reminded.
Yes. Kasio was right. One account book was destroyed by the escaped Dilimer, and the other one was now burned by the household slaves for heating. Now the fleet is loaded with nearly 7,000 Tarants (3,500 Tarants were mortgaged by the Joseph Chamber of Commerce with trophy, and 3,000 Tarants were loaned by the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for tax collection). Without the account book, what should I say to go back to Rome?
Xiao Jiatu said silently, then said in a low voice. "Only by waiting for Li Bida to speak, we will be completely passive. This man from the Eastern Desert is a scorpion with poisonous scorpion..."
Among the onlookers, Asher, wrapped in a scarf, stood in the corner, and his face, reflected by fire and snow, had a shallow dimples.
"There is another solution, that is, to fool this matter with virtue and family name. In this way, even if the money is lost, the basic front can be preserved. Nisias's friend." As he said that, Xiao Katu hooked his fingers. The eunuch who had sent out the body of Ptolemy's family in Cyprus immediately stood respectfully in front of the governor.
Before Gatu asked for anything, Nissias said in a firm tone, "Please rest assured that in the previous process of handling finances, you have given me and the High Priest Paphos a great deal of tolerance and trust. I will be willing to be a witness and in court, and I will do my best to ensure the innocence and integrity of the Governor in court."
"But I heard that your lord who died was also taken care of by Li Bida, and with the help of his army, he enjoyed the monarchy like a burial ceremony!" Brutu's eyes turned red at this time. He stood excitedly in front of the camp where the flames were still bright, and shouted at Niceas. He was hurt by Li Bida's counterattack. This cunning commander could really tolerate himself. In less than two months on the island of Cyprus, he could actually bribe everyone around Katu. The director made such a move that they could not return to Rome in a glorious way!
So Brutu is suspicious of anyone now, and this Nissias is naturally included, and anyone who has had contact with Li Bida must doubt it.
"Okay, my dear nephew, remember my words well. Since you are at a disadvantage in your wisdom, you need to make up for your weaknesses in virtue. As long as you can continue to be cautious and persevere, face everything calmly, instead of blindly breaking yourself, there will always be a chance to get back. If you want to mature in the future, you must remember this. Nessias is troubled by you. Even if you may not be satisfied, after returning to Rome, I immediately request the Senate to promulgate you with citizenship."
Nisias puffed up his mouth, looked flattered by adoptive son, and then bowed deeply to Xiao Katu.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the camp. Kasio coldly grabbed Asheer's hair, pulled her back from the crowd, and slapped her in the snow. Asheer seemed to realize that he had been discovered and hugged the master's thigh. Who would have thought that Xiao Katu had a painful expression on his face, "Aheer, Asheer, I didn't hate your identity as a prostitute back then, but I only heard your beautiful and melodious lyre. I felt your kindness in heart, so... Did you sell me to the alien naturalized man like Dilimer?"
Kasio pulled out the dagger from the scabbard of the strap, and cut off Asher's simple dark outer garment, which was covered with bright red underwear and a golden interior. Then he said in a deep voice in front of Xiao Katu, "She was poisoned by lust and greed, and has been controlled by Li Bida. The secret she had come to tell Di Linmo before should be a cover-up plan, and in secret she used lewd ** to seduce your free Nupera Girous, otherwise this fire would not be so coincidental! Say, you can announce your dirty and dirty things and let them stinking under the bright sun." After saying that, Kasio grabbed Asher's head and placed the dagger on her neck.
"Yes, I will only indulge in the happiness of the **. I am a plague, a seed of natural humility. When I was a baby, I was abandoned on the dung pile in the Subra District. "Asheer's eyes rolled uneasy, and tears and snot struggled to his master Xiao Jiatu.
Xiao Katu sighed, slowly stood up from the seat, and walked towards the vague coast. Then Brutu nodded to Kasieyo, who pulled the dagger, and Asher howled and covered his face and fell on the snow. Her nose had been flattened, but she was still sitting there, tremblingly grasping the bloody nose with a bloody hand. "She can't even go back to the Subra District, so she abandoned her on Corfu." Brutu said concisely, then pulled out an iron rod from the armed slave, and hit the sky cover of Peragius who was still kneeling on the ground, trembling with a few sticks. Peragius didn't even have time to scream, but his brain ran out, curled up on the ground, twitched like a shrimp, and died.
