Chapter 30 Capua's Gladiator School (1)
"When there is not much rainfall in the whole of Greece, or even a drought, there is endless rain in a special area." - Aristotle's Meteorology

Bernese sticks out his tongue. The scene that happened suddenly just now made him breathless, but then Li Bida raised a stack of wills and said loudly, "Even at the critical moment of life and death in the East, this consul is still caring about everyone's career. If I do not read these contents carefully today in front of the goddess of justice, how can I overcome this threshold and trial of God? But before I read it, I must remind everyone again that the wills here are all the real words of His Excellency Crassus, and the clear echo of his desolation in this world."
After saying that, in the noise that rose again, Sipingzell sternly maintained the order on the spot and asked to read it for Li Bida. The Bejanis, who had recovered from the horror of the people, began to make a fuss again, but most of them were stunned by Li Bida and Sipingzell's joint efforts. This small group of people buzzed like flies.
"I don't believe in such nonsense. Haha, I came to Rome more than thirty years ago. I have seen so many tricks of changing the family." Bernese screamed with extreme pride.
As a result, Sipingzel took out his first will, and then read, "My dear heir, I grant you full power. Please transfer the property rights of the double-storey apartment worth 50,000 Drachma next to the Flower Square at the foot of the Paladin Mountains to my friend, Knight Bernice, for helping me manage the ships in the maritime business of Marcella, and in the tax collector dispatch of Gaul, to my friend."
After reading, the whole banquet was frozen, especially Bejanis. He almost fell on the floor, but Sipingzel then spread the papyrus roll with Crasso's ring seal on it. Everyone whispered and whispered. Li Bida looked at Bejanis contemptuously, seeing his own way of life. He couldn't help but smile.
Then, separate wills were read out one by one. Most of the representatives of the knight were given gifts by Crassus, some received a considerable amount of money, some obtained excellent properties, and some were exempted from their original debts. Some of the contracting periods of the project were reasonably extended. In short, within a limited range, almost every representative of the knight was equally profitable. They were stunned at first, and finally cheered and applauded slowly. Then they started to have fun next to the "Jinv" that was shuttled and teased again. No one questioned Li Bida's qualification to inherit the ranks. They had no need to question any questions. Who would be stupid enough to be Bernice? Some even laughed at this foolish old guy on the spot.
But soon, they were too lazy to laugh at them even when they laughed, and began to hang out with the "Jinv" dancers. Some knights jumped onto the dining table and started dancing. The erosion of alcohol spread quickly. Zeno rushed out with his mouth and Li Bida handed the box to Mathia for safekeeping. He didn't go out to keep the virgin. Maybe she still needs time to adapt! At this moment, on the steps, Bejanis hunched over and approached Li Bida with an awkward and flattering smile, but before he could say anything, Li Bida smiled and pushed the will into his arms, "This is still yours. I will never doubt the will of the lord, and I think you are too. Right?"
"Yes, right." Bernice was overjoyed, and his body bounced straight, and he took the legal will with both hands and hurriedly expressed it.
At this moment, the sound of the fork ring at the door ringed quickly again. Several slaves kicked the door at the dim door, and then several entourages arrived and stood on both sides of the door. Then Caesar's father-in-law Bisuo walked in with a smile. His presence made the atmosphere of the whole banquet reach "gaochao". Bisuo intended to ask loudly in the crowd, "Have anyone questioned the process of reading your will?"
"No." Li Bida said with a plain smile.
"I don't think so, but if anyone really questions, you can come and find mine." Bisuo's joke attracted kind laughter from everyone around him. This joke was exchanged for Li Bida for three hundred Tarants.
At this banquet, Li Xilia, Bisso and Spingzel were escorted, and Li Bida was in danger. He distributed all the flexible parts of Crasso's heritage, especially the hot potato - the property in Roman City, and money to the knights. He won the trust and support of the knights, and of course the iron ore left by Crasso in Etruscan, as well as the shipbuilding sites and docks in Brindisi, the veteran resettlement areas and many large farms in Campenia, and the property rights were undoubtedly inherited by him.
At the subsequent ceremony of taking office as a Duzhi official, Li Bida set out from the Temple of Virtue Temple and headed to the Temple of Concorde, under the protection of more than 3,000 street gangsters hired by Claudi, and headed to the Temple of Concorde. The tyrannical senators stood dissatisfiedly in front of the sculptures and colonnades of the synagogue, and expressed their approval of the resolution of the People's Congress against his will. Not only was Li Bida standing around, the most notorious "Claudi Party" in Rome standing around, but also thousands of former soldiers who fled back from the Syrian battlefield, all thankfully came from the suburbs and the countryside to show their support. Of course, the name of the new Duzhi official was clearly copied on the Senate's roster with the approval of the inspector, as terrifying as the Spanish swordsman guard with a terrible beard behind him.
Soon, the new Duzhi official was involved in the battle in Rome. Several gladiators attacked Caesar's mother when he went to the Subra District to investigate him. His horsemen were killed. But Duzhi official quickly pulled out the fighting sword from his sleeve and killed three gladiators in turn, protecting the scared little Jewish serf beside him.
After the gladiator ran away, Li Bida replaced his blood-stained robe and entered the large mansion of Caesar's house. Caesar's mother, Alteria, was half lying in the courtyard. When she saw Li Bida's arrival, she smiled and said, "I believe that the sunshine will be good for me. I don't expect that I will get better, but I just hope that my life can melt quickly and happily in this warmth."
Li Bida half-kneeled and kissed her skinny back of her hand, "If you eat too much seafood, it will ruin your throat."
"I feel very lucky to die when my son is successful and famous. I don't want to see him appearing next. That will be a huge burden to anyone." Oteria turned her face to the side. "He has always been a very independent, just like when I was young." Then she suddenly remembered something and pointed to the two women who came to accompany her who always stood under the grape flower stand. One of them was recognized by Li Bida, the widow of Tulinus, the other one he also recognized by Anthony's mother, and the other Julia (Anthony's mother was from the Julius family).
