Turinus's nails were wedged into the doorframe and creaked, and he felt that he had no way out, and he could not help but cry out with all his might, "You bastard, you descendant of a miscellaneous family from Greece, you and your equally filthy father, listen, the first thing I will do when I go out at once is to have you all executed, and throw your corpses into the drain and into the sludge of the Tarquin Marshes!" ”

"I share your thoughts, Turinus. Why did you inherit Caesar's inheritance, wasn't it because of the wrong bloodline? What did you Octavian family count before, your father was just a lowly currency exchange merchant, and now it's our turn to rise to the Phillips family, so this is a decisive battle for Turinus, either you die or I die. I will not allow myself to flee without a fight, just treat this place as a blood-soaked sand, Turinus! Over there, little Phillips also let out the horn of a gladiatorial fight.

Then, as a prosecutor, Philip Jr. immediately raised his voice to stop the jury's request to close the case, because "not a single qiē is over"!

"I'm going to make this biggest scandal known to the world, and that is that Caesar's successor had to bribe the Jury to get away with it, so I need to call the most important witness, and that is Leo of the House of Aemilius, the son of the High Priest and the former lieutenant of the Sicilian province!" As soon as little Philip had finished speaking, countless people in the courtroom were on pins and needles, cursing and exclamations, and the crowd of onlookers outside who were sitting in squares and towers were also talking to each other, and many even opened gambling games to bet money on the progress of the situation.

In a word. It was one of the most circuitous trials in Roman history. At least one of them.

Pisso could only sigh and sit back down. Touching his sore old waist and complaining, the knight and the judge gathered around the judgment seat with blank faces, and asked the respected old procurator what to do now.

"Now you're accepting a large bribe, and you're coming to ask me?" Pisso's face was like frost, and he said angrily.

The knights and the judges were about to cry, and they explained in a low voice that it had been sent by the high priest father and son. They don't have the courage not to accept it.

"It's a scandal, and the only remedy now is for little Phillips to continue to call witnesses." Pisso and Pansa finally replied helplessly.

Cicero smirked, sat in the auditorium, shook the corners of his robe, and watched Leo slowly enter the courtroom, now the light of the setting sun was shining on the marble floor of the courtroom, but his interest was still high, and it seemed that the smug drama had just been brought to the stage.

"Why are you wearing mourning clothes?" Little Phillips asked Leo Dao, who was standing under the patio.

"Because I wore it in your place, and the role you played in this tragedy is worthy of my clothes." Leo sneered. There was a burst of laughter and boos, but little Phillips was not agitated or annoyed. He just smiled and confronted Leo, "Do you admit that last night, you bribed a full six law officers and nine knight judges?" The power and wealth of the Aemilius family are simply impressive, and the gold and silver of two hundred Talents were all scattered in one night's effort, which is also an ability to look up to, isn't it? ”

"I don't think this situation has anything to do with the current case, if you think I paid a bribe, then please sue me separately, of course, after this case is concluded." Leo remained silent.

"Okay then, but the following issue is definitely related to this case." As he spoke, Phillips held up the tablet, "This is the testimony of the envoy of the province of Sicily, Marclus, who is in ten thousand points of justice, and I am sorry that he himself did not come here, but it is very clear that before, that is, before the mutiny of the twins of the army, Turinus had privately written to Leo, who was in charge of the expeditionary finances of the province and the Executive Yuan, to borrow five hundred talents from him to relieve the urgent need for military funds. ”

Leo was silent, and Phillips Jr. continued to be aggressive, asking three questions in a row.

"Yes, it did, but I quickly submitted my impeachment to the provincial council, and I didn't send a single ass to Turinus." Leo argued, "So this kind of thing has nothing to do with Turinus, he was wrong, and I corrected it." ”

"However, did you ever think that Turinus would hate you for this, and then he instructed Siphax, Baltias, and the twins to attack the city of Lilibal in an attempt to kill you?"

"I think you're talking nonsense, and if this is your first appearance in court, then I can then throw you into a dungeon for slander." Leo replied with some anger.

"But in the end, it will only be Turinus who will be thrown into the dungeon!" Phillips Jr. then again showed the evidence of the account books, "but the copies of the account books which I have obtained from the treasury of the Executive Yuan and the province of Sicily clearly show that not long after the letter of Turinus was sent, there were indeed five hundred Talrants worth of money and goods, which were carried from the port of Lilibal and bound for the region of Epirus!" ”

Now the auditorium was about to explode, and many of the senators stood up, craned their necks to look at the numbers and signatures on the copies of the account books, and Leo shouted to little Phillips with an expression of disbelief, "There is no seal of mine on it, this is perjury!" ”

"That's right, so you've been completely deceived, Turinus has already bought the paperwork with you, stolen your seal, and instructed Fonteus to plot this qiē, not only that, but he also wants the twins to kill you, and then blame Fonteius for a qiē, and deceive the entire republic with a false illusion! He would then be able to take control of the country, following in the terrible footsteps of his adoptive father, who had eliminated rivals and political enemies and re-established himself as Roman king. Little Phillips looked around, full of ambition, and then he raised the other board again, "Fonteius has confessed to all this, thank you, and that's why I discarded Turinus, because he treats everyone as a slave and a tool to be used." Little Phillips slapped Leo's arm as if to comfort him.

At this moment, all eyes in the courtroom were on Turinus, who was standing in front of the door, including the high priest with a stunned face.

"You're slandering for no reason, because everyone knows that I'm going to be the high priest's son-in-law, and Leo is my brother-in-law, and we grew up together in the neighborhood, playing a game of walnut tossing, and studying together at the Academy of Apollonia, didn't we? Isn't it? Leo, and my father's guardian, I, I grew up in your eyes, how could I have any idea of any trap for you, I could prove myself by making the most poisonous oath to all the gods! Turinus looked at everyone, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted hysterically. (To be continued......)
