Chapter 32 March 15th (Part 2)

In the aisle, under the shadow of Pompey's statue, the armchair was stained with blood. Caesar fell on the floor next to him. His body, under his body, as well as the walls and statues were covered with splatters of blood. One of his sandals was on On the foot, one was scattered beside him, and the people involved in the assassination surrounded him and the pool of blood. The only personal slave beside Caesar who followed him, carrying documents, was covered in blood. He was so scared that he stood aside, not daring to move.

The steaming smell of blood surged up, but Caesar was still shaking slightly. He was murmuring the word "mother". When Brutus, who was holding a dagger, heard what he said, he thought of his mother Severi. Ya, couldn't help but shed tears, so he walked to Caesar, knelt down, held his hand and begged, "I am not afraid of death, but I still hope to get your forgiveness."

But Caesar's eyes were fixed on him, and incomprehensible words were vaguely read from the corners of his mouth. Brutus could tell that they were curses, asking the gods and ghosts of the Julius family to hunt him down. The enemy will hunt down today’s murderer to the ends of the earth and to the end of time.

"Oh my God, what have you done!" At this time, Cicero slowly walked over. The Caesar he saw was getting weaker and weaker, and finally died of breath, but Cicero did not dare to step forward because Afraid of being stained with Caesar's blood, making himself suspected of involvement. ?&nbs{}书%ba{小}说3.nsb.mp;??Hundreds of other people gathered around, many of them were so frightened that they didn’t say a word. Only Brutus stood up and faced the crowd calmly. He held the dagger with his bloody hand and said, "Don't panic, ambition has paid its debt."

"Now it is you who have committed such a horrific crime in this sacred place against a sacrosanct person." Cicero said first. But his son-in-law Eurabella grabbed his wrist. He did not allow his father-in-law to continue speaking. Said to Brutus, "Listen, we all approve of your execution of the tyrant. Although we were not informed before, or some of us lacked the courage, everyone is full of joy in overthrowing this tyrant's tyranny, so now Is there anything we can do to help you?”

"It is to declare that this was a legal and national assassination, and Caesar is dead. His ambitions and crimes against the Republic must wait until trial, his persecuted enemies must be recalled, and the Senate must regain its power. , to preside over peace and war against distant lands," Cassius and Brutus replied in a coherent manner.

"We must also abolish all the unfair policies of this damn bastard!" Casca also added angrily.

"Then what are you waiting for!" Eurabella raised her hands and said with an excited expression, "Now we can go out in groups and ask all the dignitaries in Rome to help us. Don't worry, Caesar has nothing decent. As long as his death is concluded, our victory will be unshakable, except for those who are disloyal and dangerous!" So many elements followed suit and tried to gain fame. Even if they had nothing to do with the assassination plan before, they all yelled and followed behind Ulabella, starting to walk out of the theater. At this time, Caesar's retinue and slaves felt something was wrong, so they rushed in one after another from the waiting room and the open space. As a result, they saw the master lying bloody and bloody in the aisle, with his robe lifted up to cover his face, and one shoe still falling off. On the edge, the body was cold and dead, so he ran away in fear, which caused chaos inside and outside the theater. People screamed and ran around. At the entrance of the iron gate, Anthony grabbed the man who came out in a daze and was covered with blood. It was Blood's clerical slave who asked, "What happened to Dictado?"

"Dead, dead, a lot of blood, all the blood of the master." The clerical slave was obviously insane. When Anthony grabbed him, he could only spin around in place. At this time, Antony heard the roaring sound, and the red flag on the Capitol Hill was raised again. He saw the entrance to the theater, with blood stains on his robes, and Brutus and Cassius came to the front. Then Deximus also joined the team. At this moment, Eurabella behind him also rushed up with his father-in-law Cicero, pointed at Antony and shouted, "Antony and Lepidus are two of Caesar's accomplices. We should also kill them now!”…

"Isn't it enough that you killed Dictator?" Anthony then realized that the situation was irreversible. He held the iron bars and said, "You also want to kill more people and plunge Rome into a second civil war. Among them? I remember your faces, Eulabella and Cicero, you two bastards, you are the masterminds behind the scenes!"

Antony's rhetorical question made Eurabella afraid. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and kill his enemies, but Brutus did not agree to do so. He shouted to everyone present, "Damn it." There is only one Caesar. We killed a tyrant, or a sinner who tried to be a tyrant, regained the freedom of the republic, and returned freedom to you!" After that, Brutus called the slaves who came with him, He used a long pole to pick up a small hat called "Pilenus". This kind of hat is usually worn by freed slaves or ransomed prisoners of war, which represents freedom. Brutus means they killed He killed Caesar and "Rome regained its freedom."

Then, Spinzel suggested, "We should not kill Antony and Lepidus, but we should also prevent them from killing us in revenge. We should try to solve this problem within the city of Rome. Now Brutus and Cassius will temporarily retreat to the Sacred Mountain Capitoline, where they can be guaranteed safety and the army is not allowed to use force. Then, I will contact more people with Banks and others to join our camp. Luca, you go with the Senate decree and take over the Sixth Legion stationed in Hezhou. Decimus, you organize all the sword-fighting slaves, pacify the order in the city, and bring Antony and Lepidus to the city. Or we can control the houses of all Caesar's minions and call all the legions loyal to the Republic in the surrounding provinces to come together. "

"We must prevent Lepidus and Antony from using their status as cavalry commanders to convene the Tribus Assembly alone to pass a bill that is unfavorable to us, so we must immediately issue a Senate decree to ask all the people to gather at the foot of the Capitoline Hill in the next day to listen to our speech on this matter, and then the situation will be settled. "Brutus asked so, and then everyone held the small hat as a flag and went up the Capitoline Hill in a mighty manner.

The whole street was in a mess. People started to set fire to the squares and markets in Rome. The bodies of people killed by their enemies were scattered everywhere. Antony was still standing in front of the iron fence until Lepidus came with his entourage and sword slaves, "What are you doing, Marco?"

While the two were talking, another confidant of Caesar, Pansa, also got the news and rushed over, "Dictator was stabbed to death!"

"Don't panic, take out the dictator's body first." Lepidus said, and the three of them came to the theater.
