Chapter 43
Chapter 42 Unlimited jurisdiction
“How can they do this? We are Roman soldiers, and they dare to offer our heads as a reward.”
“Too much, we must sue them.”
“No wonder they are so desperate, if I would do it too.”
“……”
Olus gritted his teeth with anger, it was too much.
“Do you still fight?”
asked a centurion.
“Of course I played. This time there are too few gaps. As long as we play more gaps, we will win.”
Olus said.
“It’s not good, they are filling the gap.”
Someone said.
Olus looked back, and found that some slaves had clung to the city wall and threw large bags of soil into the gap. The gap was filled back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Can’t hesitate any longer, Olus said: “The third and fourth teams, get on me.”
So these garrisons attacked the wall again, but what made them fear was that the enemy was too fierce. Although they attacked, they were quickly killed.
Those enemies looked at them as if they saw a walking dinar, and rushed towards them desperately, fearing that they would be preempted by others.
If it hadn’t been for Li Wei to stop them, they would have been out of the manor.
The morale of the entire army is extremely depressed, and Oulus is also helpless, what should he do?
At this time, the ancient tower is extremely anxious, he has been dragging for so long, why has Oulus still not breached the manor.
You must know that time is their life.
He sent someone to investigate the situation, and after reporting back, he felt like he had lost his soul.
It turned out to be… I was defeated.
How good is this!
At this moment, a large number of people appeared in the distance.
Some dozens of Capua elders rode horses, some walked in front of them in carriages, followed by family guards and hero slaves, many with weapons.
Then there are a large group of Capuja citizens, old and young, men and women, but mostly adult men.
“Elder Scipio, Elder Nias, are you all right.”
A Capua elder said in surprise when he saw Scipio.
“It’s okay. Fortunately, your people came in time, otherwise you still don’t know how things will end.”
Scipio said gratefully.
“this is what we are supposed to do……”
“Guta, you group of robbers actually snatched a child’s property.”
At this time, a crowd behind said.
“Robbers! Robbers! Kill them!”
“Kill them!”
“……”
The citizens behind the elders suddenly became angry, and they threw the stones they had prepared at the ancient tower and the others.
The sudden change made many people stunned. A stone hit Guta’s head and directly woke him up.
“Hold up the shield! Hurry up and put up the shield! Tortoiseshell formation!”
Guta said.
The soldiers immediately stepped forward and erected their shields to protect the ancient tower and Saiyanus in the middle.
Even Scipio and the others were involved, and they fled into the distance in embarrassment.
“Citizens of Capua, everyone, stop and listen to me.”
A Capua veteran said loudly.
But they didn’t obey him at all, and still threw various things at the ancient tower.
“Stop it all for me, and then throw me to kill!”
The ancient tower roared loudly.
Of course this is just a threat. If he dares to kill Roman citizens in front of many senators, no one in Rome can protect him.
“Don’t listen to him, he dare not kill.”
Sure enough, there will always be expert advice in the crowd at the right time.
People continue to hug them with rocks, and some people have even rushed in the direction of Olus.
“It’s over! It’s all over!”
Guta said, the ending is doomed, Oulus cannot be the opponent of these Roman citizens, even if the opponent is unarmed.
“We withdraw!”
The ancient tower led the soldiers to retreat, and the crowd stopped after chasing for a short distance.
Then the crowd cheered, “This is a victory for the people!”
The veterans couldn’t laugh or cry, but they knew that all these were appearances, and Li Wei controlled all of them, and they even controlled them to send Guta and Saiyanus to the cross.

The night was as cold as water, and the **** day finally passed.
A large number of bonfires lit up outside the manor, and Li Wei killed pigs and sheep to reward the citizens of Capuya who came to help.
After sending away Scipio and others, Li Wei carefully thought about his own gains and losses during this period. He found that he underestimated these politicians, and he really dared to kill him at the critical moment.
“Li Wei, we don’t want to do this anymore, or find a chance to make peace with them.”
Yulia said with red and swollen eyes, today because of Li Wei, she didn’t know how many tears she shed.
“Why make peace, obviously we will win.”
Serabio said with a smile.
Serabio didn’t know where to hide this day, and didn’t show up until afterwards.
“We are set to win? How is this possible?”
Yulia asked suspiciously.
“You explain to him.”
Li Wei said.
Serabio nodded and said: “Today’s event is a big event, destined to shake the entire Rome, and even attract investigations by the Roman Senate. But no matter how things go, as long as the owner is willing Guta and Saiyanus were the lowest exile, but their family members were dead. Even the Senate and the consul could not save them.”
“Why?”
Yulia asked.
“This starts with our judicial system. Our general cases are judged by judges and juries. When major incidents occur, they can be judged by the Senate. But there is another special case, that is, the death penalty!”
Sailabio said.
“Our country’s law stipulates that all death sentences can only be judged by the people’s assembly, which includes the citizens’ assembly and the Senturian assembly. Moreover, the trials of the citizens’ assembly and the Senturian assembly (century assembly) are exclusive, that is, Their trial is final, and even the Roman Senate has no right to change it. As long as we hold the Capua Centurion Assembly or the Citizens Assembly, then we will win.”
Yulia couldn’t help but realized that Li Wei tried desperately to recruit people some time ago. She thought it was just to protect property. It turned out to have this effect.
There are only more than 20,000 male Roman citizens in the entire city of Capua, and there are not many villages in addition to the surrounding towns.
As long as Li Wei can mobilize the relatives and friends of the guards, he can easily pull 20,000 to 30,000 horses. In fact, Li Wei didn’t know this before, and he didn’t know this until Serabio explained it to him.
Yulia suddenly discovered a terrifying fact.
“Whether the owner sue someone, then it will definitely win, even including letting them die.”
“In principle, this is the case.”
Serabio said with a smile.
