Chapter 18 Amelius Behemoth (Part 2)
Yes, that is, whether to eliminate the unrest through murder, so that these citizens can starve to death "safe and comfortably" and achieve the brilliant halo of the Republic... When the armed slave held a sword and repeatedly asked for his opinions, Xiao Jiatu pinched his nose in pain. Now Dumijius has been killed, and everything is about to make decisions. The mob outside has begun to hit the door of the mansion with iron-packed wooden stakes. The nobleman also looked unhesitant and deliberately paced in front of Xiao Jiatu, meaning that he should make up his mind quickly.
"At this point, we can't do things based on our ideas." Xiao Jiatu finally said this sentence with difficulty.
After receiving the order, Triali in the Acropolis immediately dispatched troops to the streets to kill people, but the Marcelian soldiers directly refused such instructions. Triali asked the soldiers from Sicily to execute them. The other party continued to execute them rigorously. About hundreds of people were killed, and the rest dispersed, and all the heads were built in the square and the city gates to show their public.
The crying and curses outside were shaking the earth. After nightfall, Xiao Katu was still wrapped in a blanket and shivering on the couch. His whole body was cold and hot. His mind seemed to be torn and stirred by seven or eight iron ropes. Yes, he always looked down on civilians and gangsters, even in the city of Rome, and even in this vassal city, looking down on it does not mean he doesn't care. He understood that if this matter was spread and recorded in the book, his reputation was completely destroyed, and the image of the Republic became blurred.
How can this work?
Unexpectedly, the real battle of swords and guns in this world is so cruel. Although he gave his order, hundreds of heads fell to the ground. But where is his freedom and power? It is definitely not in this iron cage-like death. "Persevere, stick to it!" Xiao Jiatu laughed at his confusing thoughts. He even stood up in the middle of the night and continued to read the ancestral teachings frantically, but not looking for answers and redemption between the lines, but using them to anesthetize himself.
Soon, Xiao Jiatu heard another news that made him even more embarrassed and helpless. Terry Arik deducted the rationed grain from his subordinates and secretly sent it to the market for a high price!
One bushel of coarse wheat (only one grinded grain) was sold at a high price of ten drake silver coins.
Even the Presbyterians could not tolerate this behavior. They found Xiao Jiatu and protested silently, surrounding him in the middle. Without saying a word, Xiao Jiatu lowered his head and really didn't know what to say. They could only take Munagius to the Acropolis military camp in person to find Triali to punish him.
On the street, citizens who cheered him with heroes three months ago, now many of them are dead, and more people lean on the corner of the street, looking at the slow walking little Jiatu with muddy and contemptuous eyes. They still have the strength to not forget to spit. The hot sun shines on the back of Jiatu's neck, and sweat flows down the back of the spine, with flies flying everywhere. He feels like he is walking on a millstone.
But even so, Triali circled the military camp with a wooden fence. He drove away all the local soldiers in Marcella who still had a sense of justice, and only trusted his direct subordinates and Sicilian soldiers. In addition, it is said that he also recruited a large number of street hooligans into the army under the conditions of being a servant. This was also his specialty in the city of Rome, and he was arrogantly saying, "Now I have the strength to be a third party, and I can negotiate terms with Caesar or Pompeii directly."
Xiao Jiatu was outside the wooden trunk and asked to see Terri Ali. The rogue minions were coming up to insult and besiege him. They were also several centurions from Sicily. They recognized Gatu's identity and welcomed him into it. Terri Ali sat arrogantly in the core residence of the Acropolis and "received" Xiao Jiatu, as if it was not the other party who had convicted him.
"Of course, it is not difficult to explain the reason for this matter, because my subordinates cannot stimulate their morale by just eating a full stomach, and they also need rewards from gold and silver." Terry Ali was confident.
"But the problem is that your subordinates are simply giving all citizens a very bad example. You must know that we are still in their city!" Xiao Jiatu suppressed his anger and said.
"Aren't this fate chosen by them? In addition, with my foresight, there will be no laws in the Republic, citizens and campaigns in the future, so families like you who have been so famous and still no one will be interested in it. The rules of the game in this country in the future are very simple, and it is the world of the legion owner!" Triali shouted excitedly, holding up his hands, as if he was the prophet of the times. "I was exiled to Marcelia, but now I am a blessing in disguise. I also have the strength of a legion, and I am afraid that even Caesar will come to me soon. Gatu, you said right at the beginning - the more tragic the city resists, the higher my price will be. Look, even Li Bida has sent letters to surrender!" Triali threw the font board to Gatu like crazy.
It was full of naked conditions, especially Li Bida promised to replace Caesar. As long as Terry Ali was willing to surrender the Acropolis, he would immediately be Caesar's deputy general and the financial officer of the province of Gaul. Now Marclus has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and I hope you will be the same.
"This is simply the enemy's trick. I warn you that Pompeii will launch a large counterattack next year, and Caesar is now deeply trapped in the quagmire of Spain. You are playing with fire when you do this!" Xiao Gatu angrily slammed the board on the ground, "And you immediately hand over the command of the army, otherwise I will deprive you of your power immediately, and you must understand that your current identity is just an exile."
But Terri ignored it at all. He directly asked his entourage to force Xiao Jiatu out, and he mocked the other party and said, "I didn't kill you on the spot because I was still worried about the request of the besieged party. Li Bida asked you to live well. Perhaps you are still valuable as some kind of spoil!" Then, Xiao Jiatu was thrown into the ditch outside the wooden fence. The corners of his mouth were bleeding and helped up by Munajius and others who came. He was desperate. A kind of inability to infect his whole body, but he kept saying such words, "Does Caesar want me to die or hope I will continue to live?"
