"Let the vulture purify this dirty and despicable guy, and also warn everyone that if a slave tries to climb high, it is equivalent to trampling his master under his feet, so it is best not to have such thoughts." Brutu threw the iron rod to the ground, and then wiped the blood on his body with his robe sleeve, chasing his uncle.

Three days later, Xiao Katu's huge ship slowly sailed away from Corfu. Asher, who had no nose, had his face shrunk and hungry, and was wearing a tattered blanket (it was still a pity that her oarsman left for her), stood barefoot on the rock, watching the gradually blurred shadows of all the fleets, surrounded by cold wind and circling vultures.

When Gatu's ranks were up the Tiber River, Claudi in the Temple of Virtue had already taken out letters from afar, with Li Bida's handwriting, "Everything is done, remember, to praise and kill the little Gatu, he obviously wants to run for next year's consul and destroy him."

Claudi smiled even more happily with a handsome face, so he stuffed the letter to Caesar's confidant Ebro and Barcelona. The other party looked at it and laughed, "Everyone, what we need is a grand welcome ceremony. Everyone is dressed neatly, wears a beautiful garland to welcome spring, and welcome our former judiciary like a general of triumph."

At the port of Ostia where the Tiber River flows into the city of Rome, Gatu's fleet passed by in joy. Both sides were filled with veterans, citizens, and priests who came to greet the fleet eagerly reached out to the fleet, hoping that Xiao Katu, who had achieved great achievements from the East, could stand at the bow of the boat, or get off the boat, and greet them, even if they smiled and waved their hands, but when everyone saw the huge six-row paddles of the royal flagship (which he took over Ptolemy in Cyprus), there was no one on the deck, and only the oars were constantly rowing the cold Tiber water, just going forward. The Romans longed to see the hero, but they were more eager to interact with the hero, but Xiao Katu obviously disappointed everyone, so many people's horns were not listless.

But many excited voices came from the crowd, "Gatu was a grand triumphal this time. He had made great benefits for the Republic. It is said that the wealth brought back from Cyprus alone is 7,000 Tarant."

Many people laughed at this with a sneering laugh. The great Pompey conquered the entire East and brought back only 20,000 Tarants. Can a small island country have so many spoils?

"The Romans never like to cheat. I have a relative serving in the army who knows the inside story and sent it back. There will be fakes, so Gatu ignored the welcome crowd and went straight toward the Parthenon, just to include wealth into the treasury as soon as possible. If you don't believe it, let's go and take a look."

These words spread very quickly, and soon the welcome crowd found a new excitement, that is, to witness the seven thousand tarantes brought back by Xiao Katu. Is it really true? Many people also bet on each other, and thousands of citizens quickly congested on the high ground and square next to the Parthenon. There is no reason to be unhappy. If they really brought back seven thousand tarantes, there will be a giant sword fighter competition, racing conference, and a large amount of free rewards for the poor. Didn’t Julius Caesar and Gneus Pompey do this? Xiao Katu should not be an exception!

When the long line carried wooden cabinets and began to walk from the dock to the Parthenon street, people were excited to cheer when they saw this huge formation. Sure enough, the rumors before were true. So many wooden cabinets were filled with coins and could not be transported one day and one night, which was actually a 7,000 or 8,000 tarent.

When Little Catu came down from the royal flagship, he saw the filthy streets of the Roman city, the curved and narrow streets and the welcome crowd with dishes, he sighed, "I have returned from leaving for more than a year. Rome is still so ugly." After that, he took Brutu and Cassia and walked towards the Parthenon in the cheers of the crowd.

Sure enough, in front of the porch of the Parthenon under the setting sun, Claudi, Barcatus, Ebro and others were all wearing robes and standing there, looking at the arrival of Little Gatu and others with false smiles. On the other side was his father-in-law Feripas, friend Cicero and others, who were blocked by a group of mobs outside the Parthenon world.

"This is the biggest miracle, right? I knew you could do it. I just went against the opposition and asked you to go to Cyprus to take office." Claudi opened his arms, walked down the steps, and enthusiastically wanted to go forward to hug Xiao Katu. Brutu pushed him away, "Wow, this is not friendly. My dear philosopher friend, when your wife was in Rome, I cared about her body very much, and even asked the slave to send medicine to him." Claudi raised his hands high and said with a smile.

"Did Sister Ling provide the medicine? I heard that she is rich in Byer and Subra District." Brutu countered.

"Don't do this. I am grateful that all the guardians can welcome me, the sinner in front of the temple. There are some delicious Cypriot country wines on the ship, which will be given to you as a small gift." As he said that, Xiao Katu took the initiative to hug Claudi and kissed each other gently. Then Ebro pretended to be more excited than Claudi, walked down to Xiao Katu and said, "The whole Republic is admiring your achievements. We are going to apply to the Senate through the People's Association, so that you can wear purple-edged robes in daily occasions, and have an additional seat for the Grand Legal Officer. You do not need to run for your election to serve."

Little Gatu listened to all this with a humble smile, and Cicero, who was blocked by the mob, raised his fist and roared, "Little Gatu, my friend, don't believe their tricks. The villain Claudi is now a water dog. As long as you shout in the Senate, you can deprive him of the position of civil guard and exile him! Because he is not a qualified civil guard, he has taken over the abnormal procedures, do it boldly, friend!" Cicero cheered up, "All his documents in Capito's Mountain have been destroyed, and he has no support at all."

"I will still accuse you of burning state documents by yourself!" At this time, Claudi also pointed at Cicero and shouted loudly, and the scene began to become chaotic.

"Okay!" said Xiao Gatu majesticly, "I will not accuse any civil servants of the civil affairs of Rome. They are the cornerstone of the Roman civil affairs, the inspectors and good friends of the Republic. If Claudi's documents are destroyed, then my spoils book is burned, does it mean that I have been doing illegal things on Cyprus this year?"
