I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257: Nineteen stab wounds, suspected suicide

Wang Hui's heart trembled, and his expression changed on the spot.

Others looked puzzled and surprised.

Wang Hui immediately said: "General, this is a wrongful dismissal!"

Li Heng took out the document from the desk, threw it to Wang Hui, and said, "Do you want to eat it on the spot and pretend that I don't know anything?"

Wang Hui's face was ashen and he stood there motionless.

"Don't you pick it up and take a look?"

"General, I have been wrongly accused..."

"Xie Chong?" Li Heng did not listen to Wang Hui's words, and his eyes fell on Xie Chong.

Xie Chong was startled, then came to his senses and said, "My Excellency, Xie Chong..."

"You just said you were willing to follow me and help the Han Dynasty. If you lie even half a word, you will die badly, right?"

Xie Chong had cold sweat on his forehead, and he felt an invisible oppression.

The other person is obviously younger than me, so why does his conversation have the depth and calmness of a superior person when asking questions.

Seeing that Xie Chong didn't reply, Li Heng said, "Could it be that what you just said was a lie to me?"

"No no...how dare you deceive the general!"

"Then I will assume that what you said is true?"

"It must be true!"

"Okay." A smile appeared on Li Heng's face, "Now there is a person here who deceived me and said that he would surrender to me. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin, informing Zhuge Jin of my deployment and the situation in Jiangling. The letter contained Expressing hope that Zhuge Jin will quickly return aid."

Wang Hui knelt down on the spot and shouted: "General, I have been wronged..."

"Shut up!" Li Heng slammed the table angrily and fell out on the spot, "The evidence is solid and you still dare to quibble! You treat someone as a three-year-old child and deceive at will! Do you think your Wang family is a wealthy family in Jiangling, so I don't dare to touch you? You guys! Do you want to ask me how many wealthy families this sword killed in Yizhou?"

After speaking, Li Heng unsheathed his sword and stuck it on the table.

With a clang, the sword trembled violently and made a dragon roar.

Everyone was so frightened that they instinctively retreated, and some even knelt down on the spot with their legs weak and sweat pouring from their foreheads.

Wang Hui was also frightened and shut up on the spot.

"Tie them up." Li Heng motioned to Ma Yong.

"Good fight!" Ma Yong was very active and immediately put the rope on Wang Hui with extremely skillful techniques.

It’s even so skillful that women are excited and men are envious.

"General, I have been wronged. General..." Wang Hui begged for mercy repeatedly.

Zhuge Rong said: "General, this matter has yet to be clarified. Is it..."

"Uncle, please come this way." Du Yu said immediately.

Zhuge Rong was stunned and realized that he had no way to influence Li Heng or the situation. He could only sigh and leave first.

Everyone was even more worried when they saw that Zhuge Rong had withdrawn.

Wang Hui was tied up.

Li Heng's sharp eyes glanced at Xie Chong: "Since you are so loyal to me and to the big man, I will give you the opportunity to kill this meticulous person today."

When Xie Chong heard this, his face suddenly turned green.

When Wang Hui heard this, he was so frightened that he struggled with all his strength.

Li Heng asked Ma Yong to give Xie Chong a knife, and then stopped talking, waiting for Xie Chong to use the knife.

Xie Chong was sweating on his forehead. If he killed Wang Hui here today, wouldn't he... cut off his own escape route?

When Zhuge Jin comes back, he will definitely not be able to hang out in the Wu Kingdom anymore.

"General, I have been weak and sick since I was a child. If I want to kill someone, I'm afraid..."

"Oh, it seems that being weak and sick can't kill anyone."

"Yes, yes, you can't kill anyone."

Li Heng glanced at the others, who immediately said: "We are also weak and sick, so I'm afraid we won't be able to kill anyone."

"You all are sincerely loyal to my big man." Li Heng nodded, as if he was considerate of everyone's difficulties, "It is indeed too difficult to kill people."

When everyone heard the general say such considerate words, their hanging hearts finally found a place to settle down.

Li Heng said calmly: "It's better to stab him with a knife. It won't take much effort."

Everyone looked stunned.

Li Heng, however, ignored the ugly expressions on everyone's faces and started counting people.

"General..."

Shen Ji was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Heng: "Don't interrupt me as I count people. Oh, there are nineteen people. If one of them gives Wang Hui, the traitor, a knife, he will probably die."

After saying that, he turned away from everyone and waved his hand.

Ma Yong immediately handed over the knife, and the first one was given to Shen Ji.

Shen Ji was hesitant to take the knife. If he slashed with the knife, he would be charged with killing Qingliu, and his escape would be completely cut off.

From now on, I really have no choice but to follow this general.

Ma Yong saw that Shen Ji did not accept the sword, so he said to Li Heng: "General, I am afraid that this person is in the same group as Wang Hui. I suggest that he be tied up as well."

Shen Ji didn't expect Ma Yong to be so skillful in hating him, so he was so frightened that he said quickly: "I am very weak and sick. I'm afraid I can't even pick up a knife."

Li Heng turned around and smiled: "You can't even lift a knife, so what do I need you for?"

Shen Ji immediately took the knife, paused, and slashed Wang Hui's body with the knife.

Wang Hui screamed and was sweating profusely in pain.

After cutting, Shen Ji handed the knife to Xie Chong. Xie Chong stood there motionless.

"My accomplice, I suggest you tie him up."

Xie Chong immediately picked up the knife and slashed Wang Hui's body. Wang Hui screamed in agony.

Because Ma Yong's binding skills are very solid, if an average person wants to break free, the movement can be very loud, even violent, accompanied by loud shouts.

But there is absolutely no way to break free.

"Come, come, come and line up." Ma Yong said to everyone, "It's time to test whether you are in the same party as Wang Hui."

Everyone immediately started to line up, and everyone gave Wang Hui a knife.

Wang Hui was so painful that he let out a heartbreaking cry. He cursed angrily: "Li Heng! You are going against the grain, and you will not die well!"

When the last person was left, Wang Hui was already dying. His face was as pale as paper. He was lying there with blood flowing all over the floor. It seemed that he would not survive.

Everyone looked nervous, silent and did not dare to say anything.

Li Heng waved his hand, indicating to deal with it.

Ma Yong arranged for someone to take Wang Hui out.

The atmosphere suddenly became so heavy that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

At this time, Du Yu submitted some more documents: "It's all here."

Li Heng sat back down again and waved to Xie Chong. Xie Chong immediately came over, nodded and bowed: "What are your orders, General?"

"This is for you." Li Heng picked up a piece of paper and handed it over.

Xie Chong took it and took a look. He was stunned and immediately knelt down on the spot: "The kindness of the general will be unforgettable. If the general has any orders, I will go through fire and water."

The others were shocked. Shen Ji couldn't help but glance at it and was also surprised on the spot: "Jiangling Salt Trading Company Share Agreement!"

"Sign and fingerprint, you will have 120 shares in Jiangling Salt Trading Company from now on." Li Heng took a sip and said calmly.

Everyone was shocked on the spot.

He was still killing people just now, why did he turn around and give him a share agreement?

These people all know about the joint-stock system.

This kind of joint-stock system has actually become popular in the business circles of some central cities in Wu State last year.

And everyone also knows that it came from Yizhou, and the first creator was the general in front of him.

Baier's shares may not sound like much, but they were granted by the general himself, not by Jiangling Salt Trading Co., Ltd.

What is this concept?

Since the share agreement of Jiangling Refined Salt Trading Company was given by this general, this means that this trading company must be the largest refined salt trading company in Nanjun.

As the Han Dynasty expanded its controllable territory eastward, part of Chongqing's business would inevitably be shared by Jiangling.

After all, Jiangling is bounded by Cao Wei to the north and Wuchang and Jianye to the east.

And it has the advantage of the Yangtze River, with many branch rivers.

Everyone looked at Xie Chong with great envy.

Xie Chong was about to sign when Li Heng suddenly said: "I have a condition. After you agree, you can sign."

"General, it doesn't matter."

"Hand over Tian Hebuqu."

Xie Chong was stunned for a moment. He only hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pen, signed the agreement, and then stamped it.

"I am willing!"

Li Heng glanced around and said: "If you are willing, come and sign. Oh, by the way, there is also a letter of commitment here, promising that Tian and Buqu will be handed over to the court. Sign here and draw a pledge. This is the deal. Certainly."

Immediately a second person stood up and signed.

The third, fourth, fifth...

But there were also people who stood there motionless.

For example, Shen Ji just stood there without moving.

"General, we are waiting for good farmland, which has been managed by our ancestors for generations. If we take it out, I'm afraid we will be ashamed of our ancestors!" Shen Ji said, "If the general wants food, I will definitely support it, but I'm afraid I can't do it with farmland. "

"you……"

Ma Yong was furious and was about to scold him, but was stopped by Li Heng: "Hey, don't be so rude."

Li Heng's clear eyes fell on Shen Ji and said, "It doesn't matter. I never force others. Respecting personal wishes and destiny is also a courtesy."

Shen Jizuo bowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your understanding."

Li Heng waved his hand, and Ma Yong immediately understood and waved to the guards at the door. The guards rushed in, picked up Shen Ji and dragged him out.

"General, what do you mean?" Shen Ji was shocked and asked in horror.

"It's okay, let them take you home."

"General, this..." Shen Ji was even more surprised, "General, I can leave on my own."

"I'm worried that you will be blocked by bandits." Ma Yong said, "I heard that someone was stabbed nineteen times yesterday, suspected of committing suicide. You should take good care of your body."

Shen Ji's face turned green when he heard this, and he hurriedly hissed: "General, I suddenly remembered that before I set off on the road, my father said that I could dedicate all the land and fields to the imperial court!"

Li Heng said in surprise: "Really? Don't force yourself. I respect personal wishes."

"It is our duty to do our best to help the Han Dynasty!"

"Well, since you are so enthusiastic, it would be too much for me to refuse." Li Heng sighed and asked Du Yu to pick out two agreements.

Shen Ji crawled over and signed and pressed his fingerprints.
