Chapter 30 Tithing (Part 2)
The inauguration ceremony of Caesar's second dictator, Dick Tyduo, was held in a hurry. Since he and all his legions crossed the Rubicon River and stationed troops under the city of Rome, the reactions between the people and the nobles seemed not as strong as last time. They felt that the army was there anyway, and as long as they did not use violence and coercion in the city, they would let them stay quietly in the Hirano outside the city.
Even Caesar's fans began to express new views, that is, the Republic has not had for more than four hundred years, "The people should clearly distinguish the army that protects the city and the army that attempts to destroy the city."
Still, the concepts of the entire country and society were colliding violently and shaken in secret. When Li Bida, with the dark-skinned Medetje guard, rode his horse on the street to guard the area between the Grand Plaza and Capitoë Mountains, he saw with his own eyes an old man, perhaps eighty years old, walked to the middle of the street with a cane and blocked the front of the guard. "Soldiers are not allowed to pass by with weapons in the streets in the Roman streets."
Li Bida, who looked at the white-haired old man, tried his best tone. He leaned on the sword at his waist and said, "Now it is the martial law of Dick Thiddou, which shows that the country is still in turmoil, so some troops came here to protect the peace and tranquility of the city of Rome, so I hope you understand."
As a result, the old man sneered a few times, sat slowly on the steps by the street, and said in an aging but clear tone, "The only one who can protect the peace of this city is the Republic. Now the Republic is dead. I don't want to breathe the turbid air anymore." After that, the old man stopped talking.
Li Bida's horse hooves began to move. He thought the old man was just complaining, and then the black Nubian soldiers such as Alp behind him also carried bows and swords and prepared to patrol to the next block. But soon the crowd of onlookers screamed, which scared Li Bida's mount bared his mouth uneasily and shook the stones on the street. Li Bida turned his head to look. The old man sat in the same place and was actually dead!
The other party held his breath and died of obstruction. Just as he had just swore, he would never breathe the already turbid air again.
"Please give his family five hundred dinars and let them carry the body away as soon as possible, and don't make any more public." Li Bida said to the entourages beside him. The entourages with Guiye Guan hurriedly carried boxes and rods on their backs to drive away the crowd. Then they called the old man's family to collect the body. At this moment, another shadow flashed across the street. Li Bida saw that it was really a virgin Zeno. Although she became afraid and disgusted by Li Bida now, she was still covering her white skirt with a brown cover and hiding on the corner of the street to observe this person.
"Sure enough, I am still involved in Rome, have I still involved too many favors?" Li Bida just looked at the virgin with a complicated look from afar, and without saying anything, she walked over from the corner of the street where she was, with the guards.
"This is my newly appointed chief vice-president, Marcos F. Libida, who is from the Emilius family. I am going to let him take over as a senior construction officer, command all the municipal officials, and hold my triumphal ceremony in Italy and Spain." In front of Julia's synagogue, Caesar watched several slaves transporting their statues and pulling off the statue of Pompei, and he held Libida's shoulders and introduced them to all the elders wearing purple and red robes, and then brought Anthony, "This is my proud child, Marco Anthony, who is the best in our family, haha, of course, this is just one of them, there is also the future Gallic Governor Dehimos, and Curio, the Governor of Sicily."
As Caesar's number was introduced more and more, the elders' praise became louder and louder. They were all whispering in private, wondering who would inherit Caesar's career. According to military power, it seemed that Li Bida, the senior building officer in front of him, but according to relatives, it seemed that Anthony was more dominant, but Diheimos heard that Caesar had already appointed him as the heir, and Curio's recent rise should not be underestimated.
As for the first heir, Tulinus, it seems that the elders don’t care, because after all, they are just a child, and it is still unknown whether they can safely grow up under these tigers and wolves.
At this moment, in front of the synagogue, a young man with a low figure came. He held the torch and documents of Chen Qing and asked Caesar to listen to his grievances, but his appearance made Anthony beside Li Bida start to be excited. His beautiful and tall hooked nose curled up, pointed at the young man and shouted, "Yourabella, do you want to be a traitor and betray your father-in-law who ran back to Italy?"
It seems that this young man is Eula, Cicero's son-in-law. When he saw Anthony, he was like an enemy, and he accused loudly: "When the previous consul went to conquer Spain, I was not only my father-in-law who was persecuted by this plague god in the city of Rome. My father-in-law is the greatest Roman orator and philosopher. He rejected the invitation of the Pompeyers from Silesia and returned to Italy. Even though he did not serve the consul for the time being, he was forgiven according to your decree - but Anthony, like the previous villain Claudi, brought me back to Italy.
The whole family expelled to Fumiya Manor, and we were not allowed to set foot in the city of Rome. In addition, the food supervisor who left behind was able to do business. When all the nobles were gone, a prostitute and a dwarf became his most capable assistant. He sat in the synagogue, spitting everywhere, having sex with women in front of the elders, throwing government affairs to the humble confidential slaves, driving the carriage himself, shouting in the arena, yelling, "I am the descendant of Anton," so that the horse could foam, so that the onlookers and the people would chew bitter leaves in their mouths so that they would not laugh out loud."
"I want to kill you! Sooner or later, I will rush to Fumiya and kill your father-in-law's family. When your father-in-law killed my stepfather, he used some high-sounding excuses, but just knives without bloodstains." Anthony roared and was about to kill Urabella in front of the synagogue.
