"Is that a simple reason?" Tiberius opened his mouth in disbelief and muttered, his face full of shock!
He also remembered this matter at this time.
Even he himself had almost forgotten that he had such a conflict with the other party in his early years. He didn't know how Night knew it so clearly.
But at the moment, Tiberius was in a state of confusion and had no mood to think about such a problem. The only thing he cared about was that his cousin was so cruel as to instigate the Senate to kill him just because of a piece of land.
"It's that simple. Why, isn't this reason sufficient enough?" Night shook his head inwardly, feeling that Tiberius was still too naive.
Born in a Roman aristocratic family, they were influenced by various powers since childhood, and it was not uncommon for brothers to fight each other for power and profit.
Not everyone is as upright, passionate, courageous, and fearless as the Gracchus brothers. Most nobles are greedy, obsessed with profit and power.
Because of this, they are extremely ambitious and look at others with their own ideas and tinted views, suspecting that everyone is the same as them. Once they seize the opportunity, they want to control Rome and become the new dictator and uncrowned king of Rome.
Why are the elders in the Senate so panicked?!
At least half of the reason was that they were afraid Tiberius would gain too much power.
In Rome, even the consuls—except for those as powerful as Caesar—were mostly just heads of the Senate.
Although the consuls can make some suggestions, whether they are adopted depends entirely on the vote of the Senate.
Except in times of war, in normal Rome, the Supreme Consul was just a symbolic figure, and the Senate was the one that truly held the power of life and death.
When you want to share the supreme authority in their hands, they will naturally be unhappy.
"Now, I don't think we are yet to the point where we are sad for a white-eyed wolf.
Tiberius—! If you feel pain, unacceptable, and incomprehensible, then you should stand up.
It's time for us to take action and call on the people.
If you still have any doubts, go to your cousin and ask him in person. Maybe you can open his chest and see whether the heart inside is black or red," Night reminded him.
Tiberius took a deep breath… Although he felt extremely pained, he still accepted this fact.
"I understand!" Tiberius' eyes became firm again, and he was about to say something else.
Hotrassi suddenly said, "Can you let me go now? I've already said everything..."
Night: "I never said I would let you go."
When Hotrassi heard this desperate statement from Night's mouth, he suddenly became emotional.
"Damn it! Lista, are you really going to kill us all?
No, you can't do this.
Killing a noble is a serious crime in Rome. You will be sentenced to death and sent to the gallows!"
However, Night said in a louder voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't see any noble nobles in front of me. I only saw a group of thugs who suddenly appeared at the sacred tribune speech meeting and attacked civilians.
I have reason to suspect that this is a group of spies from the enemy country.
In order to protect the safety of the citizens and our Rome, I feel it is necessary to completely eliminate the evil here."
"What?"
This familiar feeling immediately made Hotrassi anxious.
Wasn't this just the excuse they used when they wanted to take action against Tiberius before?
However, when he wanted to say something, Night had already pierced his throat with a sword.
In the end, Hotrassi died with a look of resentment on his face.
Since they are enemies, the best thing to do is to eradicate them completely.
After what happened today and the humiliation, if he unfortunately let Hotrassi go back, this man would certainly take revenge on them.
Rather than waiting for that time, it was better to strike first.
That night, he asked loudly: "Does anyone see any nobles here besides him and Tiberius?"
Those who were inspired had already knelt down and loudly praised Night for his heroic act of saving them from the mob.
Where are the nobles here?
They are just a bunch of enemy thugs who have infiltrated Rome.
Even if there are one or two with special identities among them, they must be spies from other countries, or they have already had secret communications with hostile forces from other nations.
You have to know that Hotrassi had ordered his men to attack them, the civilians, without mercy before, and the anger and fear in people's hearts have not completely dissipated.
If Hotrassi were still alive, as nobles, they might not dare to seek revenge or take action, but they would also feel extremely aggrieved, and it would be impossible for them not to bear grudges in their hearts.
But when Night killed that man, people were immediately delighted, and they wholeheartedly approved of this and spontaneously covered for Night.
...Time passed quickly, and a few days later...
By the time the assassination occurred in the town along the Tiber River, it had already fermented and spread throughout Rome.
More and more Romans heard the terrible and absurd rumor.
Because Hotrassi exposed the scandals and calculations of the Senate in front of countless people, and under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, he actually ordered his soldiers to spread public opinion everywhere at night.
Soon more and more people became angry and could not stand the scandal in the Senate and began to protest...
The whole of Rome was in an uproar.
Especially after knowing what happened before, blood had been shed... resulting in many civilian casualties.
The Romans were immediately outraged. They united to protest and march in the streets, demanding that the Senate give a reasonable explanation and even ban those evil practices.
A senator who once spoke ill of Listaria, Tiberius, and others...
Especially Publius, Tiberius' cousin, this vicious man who has no family affection and even kills his own cousin, deserves the punishment he deserves.
Under pressure, the senators finally panicked this time.
Soon, even the powerful Scipio family chose to abandon Publius Scipio Nasica.
Now that he no longer had the protection of his family, the Senate no longer had to worry about the Scipio family problem and directly put all the blame on Publius.
They announced the trial of Publius, stripped him of his status as tribune, banned him from politics for life, and exiled him to the bitter cold of Rome.
When the senators announced this in the assembly, Publius, Tiberius' cousin, almost went crazy.
"No, you can't do this to me! Damn it, assassinating Tiberius wasn't just my opinion.
Everyone here clearly agreed to it..." Publius' eyes turned red as he roared madly at each elder in the hall, shaking with panic.
