Daves didn’t blink his eyes when he heard this. He had suffered several assassinations over the years, and there were also many unsuccessful assassination conspiracies that were cracked. He has become a little accustomed to it. He just asked indifferently: "Who?"
"Some Roman citizens, mainly some former Roman nobles living in Turei, according to the information now available, their organizers may be Servius, Frius, Olus, Minu Hus...It's clear that Lentulus is also involved..." Aristilas said slowly in a tone that didn't contain any fluctuations.
When he heard this, Daves was slightly surprised: "Pubulius' son Manliius Lentulus?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. It was through Lentulus that the slave in the slave camp learned about these things." Aristotles remembered something, and emphasized: "That slave also used to Is a Roman nobleman."
"Oh?! It seems that these former nobles in Rome are not all short-sighted, or someone who can see the current situation clearly and recognize the kingdom of Dionia. So this slave must be rewarded heavily, You must make a big announcement, but you must also protect him. You go to Raphaea with my warrant, and let his slave management office give this slave freedom in advance."
"Yes." Aristilas asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want to catch these rebels immediately, or induce them... to kill them again?" Aristilas said it seemed like this. Somewhat reckless, but the reason why he asked this question was because Daves personally committed several risks in the past (the assassination of the Hades celebration more than ten years ago and the assassination of the Temple of Diana in Rome a few years ago). It seems that Take risks, but in the end they have gained great benefits.
Davers tapped his fingers on the tabletop, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "It hasn't been a few years since that great war. Now the kingdom needs stable development. The Romans and Phoenicians in the kingdom People, Sammonites... also need time to integrate into the kingdom. If this happens at an influential assembly like the Greek Scholars Conference, it will have a very big impact, and the situation will be difficult to control by then!"
Daves said so much, obviously to remind Aristotles, and then he said in a deep voice: "You quickly mobilize the staff, check the whole thing, have conclusive evidence, and then join Turri to inspect. The arrest is carried out, no gangster can be spared, but the good person cannot be wronged!"
"Yes."
Davers asked in passing: "Where are you going to start?"
Aris Tiras said without hesitation: "I decided to interrogate Lentulus first, because he is a good breakthrough."
Next, Aristotle briefly described how Lentulus leaked the matter out.
Davers listened and said with a sigh, "Such an important event requires precise planning. These people are far worse than Dionysius back then! I agree with you to interrogate Lentulus first. But also consider how Publius feels... By the way, did Publius have any contact with these people?"
Aristilas understood the meaning of his words, and said truthfully: "From the monitoring so far, no abnormalities have been found, and according to my judgment, he should not know this."
Davers pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's do it...you should tell him to come to me now."
……………………………………
When Publius received the notice, he was reprimanding his eldest son Lentulus at home. He felt a headache: Since the family moved to Turei, this son has become more and more rebellious. The Iraqi school did not study well, and the public service examination failed. Finally arranged for him to be a scribe in the city hall of Turíy. As a result, he did not work well. He often mingled with the old Roman nobles in the past. He would not listen to any persuasion, and today he proposed to move out and live alone. , So angry that he burst into flames again.
Learning that the king was about to summon himself, how could Publius dare to neglect, and immediately set off to the King's Hill, thinking along the way: What is the purpose of King Davos summoning himself so late?
After a while, I wondered again: The eldest son is now old and rebellious, is it possible to find him a family relationship? Maybe it will make him calmer...
Pubulius’ mansion is in the West Outer City. Even if he is a veteran, he has to show Davers’ warrant to the guard to enter the inner city (because it is difficult to enter the inner city freely at night , Unless it is a special case).
Pubulius thought all the way, but did not slow down, and soon ascended the hill of kings.
Davers went out in person and greeted him into the living room.
"Master Publius, have you had dinner?" Daves asked with a smile.
"Already eaten."
"Then accompany me to drink some bar." After Daves said, the servant brought up the wine that had been prepared.
"This is a new wine produced by the Olifis family with a lot of effort, and it has not yet been sold. I heard that you love wine, please taste it and see how it is different from their previous wines. Give them advice."
Pubulius had to press down on the doubts in his heart, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up: "This wine... is not very sweet, and it is slightly sour, so delicious!"
"It seems that after Olivier came out of prison, there was no political interference, he devoted himself to research, and made a good drink!" Daves smiled and raised his glass: "Pubulius, you This is the first time to come to me as a guest. Welcome!"
Pubulius raised his glass, and after a sip, he heard Daves say: "How many years have you served as the administrative adjutant of Turie?"
Pubulius answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, it's been more than two years."
"Two years..." Daves put down his glass, thought for a while and said, "Lysias told me several times that your performance as a deputy administrative officer is very good! As far as I know, you Previously served as a Roman municipal official for a long time and has rich administrative experience. It can be seen that as long as you are familiar with the kingdom’s system and laws, you can make some achievements. The other elders who joined the kingdom with you are not as good at this point. You, I think you are already capable of independently serving as the chief executive of towns and cities!"
Pubulius heard this, his heart moved, and he began to look forward to it.
When Daves raised his glass again, he hurriedly raised his glass to respond.
"You can do things, but you still have to dare to do things!" Davers said meaningfully: "I remember you served as the administrative deputy of Turiyi, and you are also in charge of inspections."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Today, my court messenger received the exact information that some people in Turiyi conspired to assassinate me at the All-Hellenic Scholars Conference. What do you think should be done?" Daves said softly.
There is such a thing! Publius looked shocked, and immediately solemnly stated: "Your Majesty, please send Aristiras to assist me. I will inform the Turrii Inspection Office to arrest these people, and then conduct a strict interrogation. Once verified, they will be sentenced to death. !"
Davers looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "According to Aristotles, these people are the old Roman nobles headed by Servius, Oulus, and Frius, your son Lentulus is also involved."
What? ! ! Publius was like five thunders, and his body was shocked. The wine glass he held in his hand also fell down, and the bright red wine flowed across the table. He subconsciously wanted to question what he had just heard, but he saw Daves. With a deep gaze and a cold sweat that couldn’t help, he hesitated for a moment, stood up trembling, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I don’t know... No, I will arrest Rentulus for interrogation. If he really Participated in this great rebellion, he should be severely sentenced according to the plot... or even executed..."
"Sit down first, don’t worry. Heavy sentence? Put to death?...I don’t think it is that serious." Daves was satisfied with his performance and calmly advised: "Since you joined the kingdom, you have been Actively support and implement various Rome-related resolutions promulgated by the kingdom, and also put forward many useful suggestions, which reduced the turmoil of the Romans in the kingdom and accelerated their integration into the kingdom.
For example,'Relocate the former Roman army generals and officials such as Servius, Frius, and Oulus to Turíy, and use the strong security capabilities of this central city to be able to Supervise them nearby and frighten them... "This suggestion from you is indeed a very good suggestion, so we can find out the clues in time. If it is in other towns, there will probably be a lot of trouble, so I am absolutely Believe in your loyalty to the kingdom!
And I also know that these old Roman nobles resent you very much, and they keep spreading your rumors around the city of Turri, and in order to retaliate against you, they must deliberately approach your child and use various means to come. Win him over and oppose the kingdom... You have paid a lot for the kingdom! "
After listening to Davers’s heartfelt words, Publius couldn’t help but a rush of heat surged in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything, his eyes were red. .
Davers said sternly: "Dionia must not let the officials who truly contribute to the kingdom sweat and shed tears, let alone allow the tricks of these gangsters to succeed. So I decided that you and Aristotles would be responsible. This time the incident. As for Lenturus... he is still a child, and he knows what, as long as he tells all the people who instigated him, he will not be blamed for this incident. But ah... you have to strengthen your child in the future It’s not enough to do things for the kingdom without taking care of the family’s education. Our Dionian tradition is that the family is the cornerstone of the kingdom. If every family is stable, the kingdom will naturally be stable too!"
