"Here, fellow citizens, fellow Romans, I, Corponius Piso, a member of the oldest family of the city, am honored to be named the reader of the will of my son-in-law, Julius Caesar. To be honest, for the sake of Julius and my daughter, I don’t want to read this will! Because once I am asked to read it, it means that their family will suffer disaster. Calm down your anger for the time being. Our purpose is not to defend Caesar, nor to judge his good and evil. I am reading this will here just because Julius told me before his death that he Part of his will was related to the people of Rome, and he told me many times that his love for the Republic and the people had never changed, so I just followed the process. After the will was read, I asked Julius Let's welcome his funeral! His coffin has been there for a long time." After saying this, Bisuo's eyes turned red and his voice became choked.

Picasso's family has always been famous for its generosity and kindness. It treats the common people very well and is not harsh with the family's slaves. The current man is actually about the same age as Caesar, but in the eyes of most Romans, he is already an elder. When he was in After the words revealed the memory of his son-in-law and the concern for his living daughter, many Romans, especially women, followed him and started to cry, because women were the worst able to see such a scene. And Brutus’s camp is full of fat and ugly people. The two cavalry officers in Lepidus' camp are both tall and handsome. From ancient times to the present, it has always been a society based on appearance. Most women have already made a distinction in their minds, "Look at those disgusting-looking people who did disgusting things to kill the charming bald dictator, so there is no need to be suspicious." ”

So many women shouted, demanding that the respectable old man read out his will immediately. Women in Rome were still very powerful and powerful after appearing in public. Once they speak collectively, men will also stay away.

But Bisso's speech was not finished yet. He looked at the pitiful Zeno standing in the mud in the audience. She was in such a state of embarrassment that he asked her in a heart-warming tone, "Virgin, in my opinion You are still young, why would you be so fragile to carry out such a huge mission?”

"Yes. Respected elder." Zeno lowered his head, looking fearful but hesitant to speak. This aroused the enthusiasm and determination of all the male people present to protect her. Then Zeno raised his head bravely and said, "I hope Vista can forgive me for being garrulous. Although this is only my responsibility, I have no intention of showing off." place, but I must give an honest answer to your inquiry - yes, someone wanted to rob this will midway, so the chief virgin asked it to be handed over to me, but unfortunately I was also attacked He was intercepted and managed to escape thanks to the help of soldiers and citizens.”

Zeno's words simply made all the men present furious. Whoever wants to do such a violent act to this poor virgin should be torn to pieces on the spot!

"Then you are in such embarrassment because you were attacked in a shameful and despicable manner. Someone wanted to prevent me from reading my son-in-law's will, right?" Bisso's tone became obviously excited.

"I don't want to say the other person's name. Although he announced his identity very arrogantly, that's the fact." After saying that, Zeno lowered his head again, lowered his long eyelashes, and said nothing.

Piso covered his chest in pain and anger, almost falling down. Antony and Lepidus hurried forward to support him, and then Lepidus winked at Antony, meaning that everything was going very well, and now it was up to you to perform. "Citizens, what made this elder so uncomfortable, and what caused this virgin to take such a risk? I think now in this square, the jealousy and fear of beasts have penetrated into the hearts of some people, making them crazy. Brutus attacked Caesar as an ambitious man, yes, I originally thought that he was such a person. A general who conquered the entire Gaul region and brought one million slaves to Rome, a great iron-blooded man like a strong fortress in the north, who could think that he did not have a burning ambition? The most outstanding politicians in Rome were ambitious. Brutus did not need to ask us about this by comparing himself to the people of the ancient times, because that would be pedantic. However, ambition is something that people can easily confuse with merit. But I believe that many citizens present still remember that during the previous wolf-chasing festival, , including me, and some citizens, put the crown on his head three times, but he firmly refused all three times. In addition, Caesar specifically requested that his refusal of the crown be engraved forever on the stone pillar in the square. If you go and see it now, you can still see the words engraved there. As for the dismissal of the two tribunes, it was also based on reason, because the two shouted "no" to Caesar on the spot, and according to Roman law, the tribunes had no right to exercise such power over the dictator. In addition, Caesar's dismissal of the two tribunes was I think it was probably because of his anger at being regarded as a king, because he repeatedly said, I am not a king, I am just Caesar, this situation made him temporarily lose his mind, and in addition, he was tortured by terrible epilepsy in the last days of his life. After all, Caesar is a man, not a god. You should forgive him for doing something slightly beyond the rules under the torture of illness. "

Hearing Anthony's sincere explanation, many people were silent, and some even whispered, saying that Caesar was really wronged to death. Who saw him become a king? Would someone who refused the crown be killed as a "tyrant"? Why didn't Brutus dare to judge him? Isn't this a guilty conscience?

Then Anthony asked to let him replace old man Piso to read the will.

"Don't let him read it, don't let him read it, Decimus, you have to think of a way!" Luca panicked, he said to Decimus in the audience, and the other senators were also fidgeting, because now the people were all in a terrifying silence, which meant that their emotions had passed, and now they had to think about this matter rationally.

But Decimus's sword slaves had almost run away just now, because a fully armed legion of Lepidus was on the spot, who dared to compete with the soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time?

So Antony's first sentence was very lethal, "Roman people, Senate and Tebris, please forgive my previous rudeness and irrationality, because my illness is getting worse and worse. If I really die one day, please pardon the two tribunes who were dismissed by me at the Wolf Chasing Festival. They did nothing wrong. No, maybe it won't take that long, right away at the Senate meeting, maybe someone will petition me about this matter."

"Oh oh oh!" People, both men and women, covered their faces and groaned in pain. (To be continued...)
