"A room, some servants, suitable furniture, two pairs of shoes, is enough for a person to live happily." - Galen

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After saying that, Vitias screamed strangely and expelled the crowd of Pompei and Caesar with his sword. Pompei discovered this weapon-holding mischief in a timely manner, and shouted, asking all the stick entourages to come to him. Caesar was very disgusting, because before he noticed Vitias coming from behind, he also called out his entourages and asked them to block Alexander's complaint group outside the wall and maintain order in the entire venue.

So he ran around in the middle with his fascist entourage holding a stick, not knowing whether to listen to the great Pompey or the consul's, and he was at a loss.

The most shrill call suddenly erupted in the crowd - in the complaint group, several strong men who probably marred in in advance suddenly took off "Knubai" and pulled out their weapons to general the leader - Dio, the elder of the Alexander Chamber of Commerce, instantly pierced seven or eight holes, and blood sprayed out, "The murder appeared!" In this cry, the murderers were still shaking their bloody swords, covering each other's movements, slowly and calmly from the square to Ostia

The street retreated, and the whole square was bustling. Most of the people in the complaint team held Dio's body, held their hands and cried to Caesar with pale faces, shouting that we were retaliated by the tyrant Ptolemy. The murderer just now must have been sent by him. The people didn't care about participating in the People's Association at all. They blocked the entrances of various streets and alleys in an orderly manner, running wildly in the direction of their homes. They pushed and tore each other, like countless out-of-control cattle and sheep.

"My name is Vitius, and I will assassinate Pompey with the mission of Bonis, Marcos and Brutu, and the blessings of the gods! Listen. My name is Vitius..." Vitius was still hoarse over there, but his screams seemed so weak in the entire flowing crowd that no one could hear it, and no one noticed his existence. He tried to rush forward, but was pushed back by the flowing people, like a small reed boat that was pitifully advancing against the current.

"Dear Caesar, I have to remind you that there is someone coming to assassinate me there!" Pompey could no longer bear it in the circle of people composed of entourages, so he put his hand on Caesar's shoulder to remind him. But the consul just turned his head slightly, looked at him in confusion, and then directed the cleaning work on the scene.

When the bloody scene was controlled, Vitias was so tired that he sat alone on the messy street. When he saw the consul's entourage and the armed slave fire quenching team walking to him, his eyes flashed with tears. The implication was "You are finally here!"

In the consul's residence, Pompei was there without any intention of leaving. He insisted on waiting for Caesar to deal with the guy who assassinated him, and to learn from the guy that the whole "behind the scenes" of his plotting against him. However, Caesar only cared about the case where the representative of the Alexander's complaint team was killed in the street. He could only spread his hands to Pompei and said with regret: "Even according to the law, different emergencies have been dealt with in sequence. Now I see that the Alexander's complaint team has died, so this Vitias' assassination. I think it can be slowed down appropriately."

"Your comparison is so dissatisfied and regretful! Julius." Pompey said angrily, "You know, the target of Vitius's assassination is me, the greatest general in Rome, and the death of Alexander Dio is just a merchant with some money. I immediately request the interrogation of Vitius."

Caesar was still arguing. He said that if the case of the complaint team was not handled as soon as possible, it might cause disputes among the countries. However, seeing that Pompei was already extremely angry, he had no choice but to let his entourage bring Vitias.

Vitius, who came up, looked at Pompeius, whom he always admired. This civilian had served and had eaten the relief bread sent to Rome after Pompei wiped out the pirates. He was a fanatical personality worshiper. He vowed to clear all obstacles in front of Pompeius in front of the apartment altar every day. So before Demitrius found him, gave him ten thousand dinars to settle down, and promised that as long as he "showed"

If you succeed, give him another 10,000 dinars and ensure his safety in prison. "As long as you don't kill Pompei, you will not violate the bottom line of killing citizens in Roman law, and you can be safe in prison." Then, under the operation of Princia, he sneaked into Bonis' secret meeting and volunteered to assassinate Pompei. The guys with short-circuited heads actually agreed (as long as I didn't ask me to do this by myself).

When Vitias stood in front of Caesar, Caesar briefly asked him a few questions, address, identity and motivation for assassination. "I am willing to sacrifice myself for the Republic, and behind you, the alliance of three monsters, Pompey is the pillar of the pillar, so the first person I want to assassinate is him."

Caesar also looked at Pompei with his light, and felt that the other party was a little strange when he saw Vitias' expression, so he felt a little surprised. However, his eyes turned and decided not to show his expression. He just asked Pompei politely whether he wanted to torture this person named Vitias, because a civilian in Rome dared to assassinate you, and there must be a conspiring group behind him.

"This is natural." Pompei agreed, and then his followers shouted sternly about Vitias, whether there was a person behind the scenes.

Vitius immediately reported a long list of people, including Bonnis, Brutu, Marcos, Luculas, Bibrutus, etc. When he heard Brutu, Caesar had a rough idea of ​​it. "This is the first time I have seen an assassin who has recognized the people behind the scenes so easily. I have a rough idea of ​​this. I must deal with it first and win the opportunity to reverse." So Caesar asked Vitius, are you being instructed to frame the most respected people in the Republic?

When Vitias gave the negative answer, Caesar shouted loudly: "As far as I know, Brutu is still studying in Greece, and the brothers Tuna and Marcos are both in good health. How could they participate in this assassination?" At this time, Pompey said leisurely, Brutu might have come back? I think he might be pretending to be crazy and stupid. This is better, just like Cicero had publicly tried Catilin. It depends on whether the key evidence could be found from Vitias.

"I have a secret letter from their joint signing of the ring seal!" Vitias shouted. As a criminal, he was even more excited and active than the criminal interrogating him.

After saying that, he took out a writing board from his arms, which scared Pompei who was present. What about the amber board?! Could it be that Brutu and the others did things to stamp the seal on the writing board made of poplar wood?
