Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Burkos was unimpressed, and said with a painful expression: "There are so many people who found out about illegal land occupation this time... To be honest, I was surprised!...I felt even more guilty of my neglect of duty! The Senate tells the citizens... I also hope that the Senate will investigate me to confirm my innocence!"

Daveus listened to his words, but his mind was full of thoughts: a few years ago, he knew that the corruption problem of Pollux and others had been unbearable, and allowed the expansion of this problem to involve more people because On the one hand, if Polyxis and others want to achieve their goals, they must buy more slaves and release more slaves, which is exactly what Davis wants to see.On the other hand, most of those who can do these things are the nobles and rich people in the original cities. Only they have this ability and network to achieve this purpose. Daphes can take advantage of this opportunity to secretly resist what he has promulgated. These people who are in favor of the civilian bill are wiped out.Therefore, it is not that no one has discovered the problem in the past few years, but several important public officials under Burcos have been bought up to cover up this, and at the same time Davos has secretly pressed this down until today.Deep down, he felt guilty for Burcos.

"Dad! Daddy!..." At this time, the false door was suddenly pushed open, and Croto Kataks, who was more than four years old, ran in: "Come and play with me!"

He said, and jumped into Dave's seat.

Daveus hugged her and said to Yan Yuese: "My little Crow, I'm talking to my uncle. Now that I don't have time, you can go to Brother Adolius to play, okay?"

"Brother is memorizing poems and has no time to play with me. He said that if he had a bad memorization, he would be fined by the teacher tomorrow...Sister is helping her mother to plant flowers, and no one cares about me!..." Little Crow hugged Dave's Neck, grievously said: "Dad, come and play with me, okay?"

Burkos was surprised and a little sighed when he saw the usual awe-inspiring consular officer looking at the child, and he stood up and said, "Master Daveus, you don't have to persuade me anymore, my determination is settled, I will go first Now."

"Okay." Daveus hugged his son in one hand and stood up: "I agree that you can step down as agricultural officer, but I don't allow you to be lazy! Now the league is full of affairs, I can't be too busy alone, you You must continue to come and help me!"

Burcos was silent for a while and said, "I think about it..."

"Don't think about it, you are the veteran of Dionysia, this is your duty! When this matter is over, you will serve on the Union Public Officers Management Committee!" Davers has a strong attitude that he cannot refuse. Said.

Burkos neither agreed nor refused. He walked to the door and asked hesitantly, "How will the Senate dispose of Polyx?"

The question is about the Senate. In fact, it is not Davos who made the decision. Davos replied vaguely: "Polykes will decide how to punish them. This is decided after the court trial..."

Burkos heard that Daphes did not want to let Pollux and others know, and sighed secretly, because he also heard about Polyxsis colluding with Syracuse.

"Little Crow! Little Crow!..." At this moment, a beautiful figure of a woman appeared in front of Burcos.

"Ma'am!" Burcos recognized Davis's second wife, Agnes, and said hello in a salute.

Agnes is not like Christoya who knows all the elders in the elders' home. Most of them don't know them, just politely.

"Mother Agnes! Mommy Agnes! How did you come back!" Little Crowe cheered up, spreading his arms around his father's arms, and ran excitedly.

Daveus was finally relieved, and he accompanied Burcos to the door of the mansion.

"Sir Burkos." Daveus looked at the darkened street outside and said in a deep voice: "I remember the first time I saw you, you were running around to save Turi, trying your best. To do what you think is right, even without fear of being criticized by the Turiyi Council. Now Dionysia looks strong, but also faces many difficulties and is more coveted by the enemy. At this time, we cannot back down, we must Only when we are united and overcome difficulties can we overcome this danger!"

Burcos stood at the door of the mansion... a moment later, he looked directly at Davos's expectation: "I see."

……………………………

The result of the internal interrogation of the Senate the next day shocked the veterans: Polyxis and others illegally occupied land and colluded with officials and businessmen. The seriousness of the situation was second. The most important thing was that Polyxis did have contact with Syracuse, and More than one of them, Orifis, Massisakus, Euripps and others have also received gifts from the Syracuse people.

The veterans felt the problem was tricky.

According to moderates such as Kunogolata and Cornelius: a secret trial of Pollux and others, and then sending envoys to Syracuse to protest, let Dionysius converge his Ambition...

Radicals such as Antonios and Amintas demanded that they must be tried in public to let the public know the crimes committed by Pollux and others, but also to let them know the ambitions of Syracuse and send envoys. Syracuse, let Syracuse apologize for this and make compensation.

Davos finally proposed to open the case for public hearing in Victory Square. His reasons are: Now the cases of Pollux and others are not only making the city stormy, the entire alliance is alarmed, rumors in various cities are everywhere, panic, and even Daioni Allied city-states in Asia are also paying attention.It is necessary for the Senate to return the truth to the people, and at the same time to remind the people of Dionysia that the Dionysian Union is still in a terrible situation, so that everyone cannot slack off!

The Senate agreed.

………………………………

On the evening of the day, the Chief Executive of Pecosis Anta Oris received an urgent letter from Davis.

In the letter, Davers explained to him in detail the reasons for the arrests of some of Euripps, Pulades and Crimea.At the same time, he also stated that they would be given a fair and fair trial.In addition, he also praised in his letter "Anta Oris has been in Pecos for two years, not only stabilizing the Lukanian ethnic group in the city, so that he has successfully naturalized Dionia, but also developed Picos The port of Sri Lanka promotes the prosperity of commerce and trade, and the Senate expresses its gratitude for its achievements in the Lukanian region!..."

Anta Oris stood on the roof of the mansion, after reading the letter, he felt with emotion: He knew something about Euripps and Pulhades.The two Crimea colleagues are keen to enter the Dionysian army and lead the army to fight.But it is a pity that when they entered the Dionysian army, Dionysian war has ceased. They have no chance to accumulate warfare, and at the same time they must re-familiarize themselves with the new combat methods.Training with the recruits is enough to make them uncomfortable, but for the position of the five army commanders is full, and there are many people lining up in the back, both the merits and the combat experience are far from enough. There is no hope to become the leader of the legion, and to be able to achieve the position of captain of the company. It is already for the sake of Davos that he is a veteran for the extra gratitude.However, they felt that they were the elders with Antonios, Philius, Capps, etc., but they only held such a low position. It was a shame. So they went to Daveus many times, hoping to use their own Mentioned the position in the army again, and was rejected by Daveus by saying, "Everything in the army is carried out in accordance with the "Dionysian Military Law"."

The two of them have visited Antaoris several times, hoping that he, as the leader of Crimea, will come out and join Polyxis to propose a civic conference, which he refuses.He is not without a bit of resistance to this situation where Davers controls the senate, but Davies does not restrict him to do things, but gives him a wider world of talents...

Looking at the busy port in the distance, listening to the stiff Greek accent of the people on the streets nearby...this is where he has been sweating for years!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart...

When he returned home, he immediately wrote a reply to Daveus, thanking him for his recognition of his work, and firmly supporting the Senate's decision on the trial of Pollux and others.

…………………………

Early the next morning, a large wooden platform was erected on Victory Square in Turiri.Turiri’s patrol, and a temporary brigade of the First Army were responsible for maintaining order throughout the square.

The people of Dioria who came from all over the country entered the square one after another.Most of them are ordinary Dionysian citizens. There are free citizens who have just become reserve citizens and have not yet obtained a share. There are big foreign merchants who have emigrated from other city-states and transferred to Dionysia. The family members of the accused arrested twice...

On top of the wooden stand, in the middle of the seat is Senior Judge Trito de Moss, and as a ruler of Dionysia, and concurrently as the judge, Davos should be at the top of such an important trial, but For reasons known to all (Polykes has always been at odds with him), out of the principle of avoidance, he did not attend, and the other elders did not attend.

On the front left side of Trito de Mos is the jury.There are 50 members of the jury, among them 50 are businessmen, public officials, farmers, herders, sailors, craftsmen... citizens of all walks of life, as well as citizens of Lucania and Bruti.The proportion of the court in the jury according to the rich and poor class and race, the industry engaged in, etc., as prescribed by the Dionysian Law, is randomly selected by the judge in the civil registration register, as far as possible to be fair .
