Chapter 16 Demobilization (Part 2)

But before the matter was finished, Kasio handed over another sharp blade and said to Brutu, "Cut off Pompei's father-in-law's head."

"What?" Brutu said this as if he hadn't heard it.

So Kasio repeated this request again and said, "This is related to the last remnants of the Republican Party. It is not in the Balearic Islands, nor in the remnants of Pompey, but on your and my shoulders. So we killed Scipio and asked Caesar for credit. In the future, I will serve as the governor of the important provinces, and so do you."

"I'm not interested in getting an official position." Brutu said, rubbing the dew on the corner of his mouth.

"Pediatric! Without official positions, without glory, and without army, what can we do to fight against the enemy of the Republic? Since Caesar is like a venomous snake in the belly of the Republic, relying on devouring the country's resources and flesh, slowly becoming stronger and cruel, we must do this now, be patient, remain calm, sharpen the minions and venom, and be ready to take a fatal blow to the enemy at any time." Kassio said with a lesson.

"Is the enemy of the Republic equivalent to Caesar? Is it?" But now, Brutu is still unwilling to face this difficult and painful fact, "but he promised me that he would restore the Republic after the war ended."

"At this point, do you still believe these nonsense? When Caesar was only eighteen years old, he married Qin Na's daughter, which was also destined to be his life. You can calculate it yourself. Although Caesar has lived to this day, he has made many tricks and tricks, but has never betrayed the track he has determined since childhood? Don't be stupid Brutu. He is not a hero who keeps his promises, he is just a capricious politician. Listen to me. Don't hesitate anymore - we will still fight Caesar in the future. We either use thousands of troops or in the square hall, but the final outcome is either he dies or I die. Brutu, the most important thing is to distinguish who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the one who can be used."

After hearing these words, Brutu looked at the corpses of Scipio and the monkeys. He thought of his uncle, Portia, Li Bida, mother, Caesar, and all kinds of people. His thoughts mixed together and gradually weaved into a black net, making him breathe and watch, and he shouted. He waved the sword in his hand, trying to cut the net cleanly. Finally, the blood on Scipio's body was cut, and the smelly thing sprayed all over his face. He closed his eyes and continued to cut and cut. Finally, before the rising sunlight, he stood on the deck, covered in blood, holding the sword in his left hand and Scipio's head in his right hand, motionless, and said to everyone, "Starting for the city of Utica."

In the Utica City Hall, Li Bida, the chief chief of the Provincial Executive Yuan during the war, was discussing the issue of fines for the city with Galba, Atrius and others. With Li Bida's mediation and struggle, Utica City was considered to be effective in the front line. The fine was approved by Caesar, from the original 80 million Sess retreated to five million, and could be replaced by olive oil, barley and other physical items. The prices were fixed and approved by Li Bida personally. In this way, the "discount" for Utica City reached the maximum extent. In short, this result made the city's Presbyterian Church very satisfied and expressed its full support for the subsequent establishment of the Yunonian Province.

"As a gift to this war, Yunonia, including Utica, is my gift to the Senate. It is the 17th province of the Republic; and Numidia and the Port of Hippo belong to the wartime provinces and become my sixth province of wartime." This was the general solution of Caesar after the war, and of course the specific and complicated affairs fell on the temporary headquarters of the Executive Yuan. In the evening, Li Bida walked out of the town hall with a somewhat tired body, and saw Leo and Turinus discussing something warmly under the steps in front of the door.

When he asked, he realized that the two were arguing about a legal paradox.

The topic is very "interesting", about the conviction of the crime of rape. Today, when they were studying the law, Turinus believed that treating such crimes "in two ways. If the victim requests the man to be executed, the man will be executed publicly in front of the city gate; but if the victim asks the man to marry her, the man must be forgiven and ordered him to marry the woman." Then Leo proposed a counter-argument, "If a rapist raped two ladies on the same night, the former would be executed and the latter would be married to him, how should he be judged?"

So the two teenagers started a debate on this. Li Bida touched the colonnade and followed their opinions with interest. Turinus tried his best to find a solution within the framework of the law, but each arbitration plan was cleverly rejected by Leo. In the end, Turinus was a little angry, so he asked Leo not to just object, but to talk about his own solution, so that it would be a sincere debate.

"My plan? I think that when a judiciary encounters such a situation, he should not try to resolve it within the law, and he must rise to the decree of God." Leo said seriously.

"Divine Certification? Will it convince the public like that?" Tulinus was puzzled.

"When the paradox appears, the divine will is the most fair behavior that convinces the public. If you use divination or goats, the horns of the goat hit the lady, then whoever thinks it will be done?" Leo explained in this gesture.

"But this case will be regarded as a new precedent soon and will be followed by later people." Turinus added, and then the two friends laughed again and slapped the fullest to indicate the perfect end of the debate.

Li Bida also smiled and pressed the shoulders of both of them, demanding that they better hone their knowledge and courage in the next years. At this moment, several token officials rushed over, and the municipal hall behind them also began to stir up. One person walked straight to Li Bida and said, "His Excellency Kasio, the Governor of Lusitania, and his fleet of financial officers, His Excellency Brutu, successfully intercepted and killed the important traitors Scipio and Cruise. Now the two heads are being sent to Caesar, and the two priests are waiting for meeting outside Utica."

"Hurry up and hurry up to Pompei's old house in the city and ask people to "care" Gonalia, otherwise this lady will be sad to death if she loses her husband and father at the same time." Li Bida hurriedly gave the token officer some silver coins and entrusted the task to him.

"This is obviously a struggle for merit, guardian. As far as I know, these two people have not made any contributions in the entire war against Pompei." Then, Tulinus said angrily, but Li Bida immediately made a stopping gesture for her - because at this time, Kasio and Brutu were walking towards the municipal hall with their entourage guards.
