I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 184 Oops, you are so cruel!

Dong Hong took them down together.

Li Heng was blowing in the wind upstairs, eating fruit, and looking at the busy figures outside the East City Gate.

This place was called Chongqing in later generations.

Chongqing was named after the Song Dynasty, as was Chaotianmen Ferry.

The Chaotianmen in front of me was of course named by Li Heng.

The source of the Jialing River is in Gudao County, which is not far from Chencang.

It can be said that the Jialing River runs through the Qinling Mountains, passes through several counties, goes all the way south to Bajun, and enters the Yangtze River.

Among them is a county called stillju, not far from Hanzhong.

In other words, the Jialing River is a very important river that can link the economies of several counties along the way.

It can even connect parts of Guanzhong's economy.

Some timber, medicinal materials, animal furs, etc. from the Qinling Mountains can be transported from the Jialing River and gathered into the Yangtze River.

This can be considered a good economic context.

At least for now, Li Heng is quite satisfied.

He waved, and Ma Yong, who was squatting aside and eating melon, hurried over and said, "Mr. Lang, what's the matter?"

Li Heng whispered in Ma Yong's ear: "You just knew that people like Liu Yan were beaten, right?"

"All the subordinates heard it."

"Then you go down and explain to the merchants."

"Explain what?"

"This Liu Yan is a fake master."

Ma Yong was slightly startled, looked at Li Heng, and asked, "Is it fake?"

"is fake."

"Why didn't Mr. Lang expose him just now?"

"It's useless to expose it in front of me, it's useful to expose it in front of businessmen, you know what I mean?"

Ma Yong understood immediately.

Does it matter if it's true or false?

True or false never matters!

The important thing is that it works!

When you are real and useful to me, you are real!

When you are real and a threat to me, then you are not real!

Ma Yong ate the melon in a hurry.

"Eat it when you come back after processing it. I'll keep it for you! Go quickly!" Li Heng urged.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

After speaking, Ma Yong wiped his hands and led the people down.

When he went down, Dong Hong was gathering the businessmen who were waiting in line.

Surrounded by security guards, the merchants were very cooperative and arrived at the door of Nashangsi.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly call us here?" A businessman asked doubtfully.

"Is it enough to cause trouble now?"

"That's good!"

The crowd was talking.

Dong Hong, who was standing on the steps, glanced at Liu Yan and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Liu Yan looked proud, and he said to Dong Hong: "Yesterday we tried to persuade each other, but Dong Gong and Li Gong disagreed. Now it is not my intention to cause trouble like this. You are really bullying others too much!"

Dong Hong said: "There is nothing we can do about it, please do it."

"Don't Mr. Dong explain the situation first?"

"I won't bother you. This is your own business."

Liu Yan pulled the clothes that were torn just now, snorted coldly, and said to the following: "Businessmen of Dawu, I am the chief secretary of Jiangling, and I have been ordered to come here to tell you that from now on, none of us are allowed to buy anything. Anyone who dares to disobey the new salt in Yizhou will be deemed to have violated the imperial law! There will be consequences at your own risk!"

Liu Yan's voice echoed in front of Nashangsi, full of anger, but also pleasure.

He seemed to have deliberately raised his voice just to let Li Heng in the attic hear him.

As soon as these words came out, the businessmen below were in an uproar.

Zhang Chu followed up and said loudly: "They are all businessmen of Wu, and they must obey the orders of the imperial court!"

Zhan Ming on the side was thinking in his mind. It seems that he can't buy it today. Liu Yan, this old guy, is really stubborn!

You have to avoid the limelight and wait until this incident is over before sending someone to buy salt privately.

Anyway, I have already made an agreement with Li Shangshu.

If they don’t buy it, I will, and I will earn more in the future!

Hahaha!

But then again, that boy Li Heng acted confident yesterday, but now that the situation has developed like this, he is enjoying the coolness upstairs.

That's it?

I really thought he had some way to solve today's situation.

It seems that he is just a mediocre person!

Thinking of this, Zhan Ming showed a trace of disdain on his face.

But then I thought again, it doesn’t matter, I didn’t really defect to him anyway, wouldn’t it be nice for both sides to take advantage of it?

The businessmen below were talking louder.

Dong Hong also felt sorry when he saw this. Sometimes he felt that Li Heng was too stubborn.

Why do we have to use Shu money?

Isn't it the same as exchanging food as before?

We all make money anyway!

Now that the situation has reached this point, everyone is having a hard time.

"Everyone be silent! I am the Chief Registrar of Jiangling! I have the authority to order you to return immediately..."

"Wait!" Just as Liu Yan was giving the order excitedly, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

I saw Ma Yong coming over with someone.

Liu Yan looked at Ma Yong angrily, glared at him and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Ma Yongrou had a kind smile on his face and looked harmless. He wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth and walked up to Liu Yan.

Then he looked around, raised his hand and pressed it, signaling for the crowd to be quiet.

The crowd gradually quieted down. Ma Yong's eyes fell on Liu Yan and smiled: "You said you are the chief secretary of Jiangling?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have evidence to prove your identity?"

Liu Yan was slightly startled, then sneered and took out the official seal from his waist to prove himself, held it up, and said righteously: "Did you see it?"

Ma Yong suddenly snatched the official seal, glanced at it, and threw it to the subordinate next to him: "Verification completed, it's fake!" Liu Yan was a little confused: "You..."

"This person is fake, he is not the chief secretary of Jiangling!" Ma Yong interrupted Liu Yan and said loudly to everyone, "His purpose is obvious, to deceive all of you, and then he will take the salt to lead him alone. Make all the money!”

The crowd below was in an uproar.

Liu Yan pointed at Ma Yong and said angrily: "You..."

Zhang Chu said: "I can prove, I am Zhang Chu, I can prove that this is the chief secretary of Jiangling!"

"Who are you?" Ma Yong asked.

"I am Zhang Chu..."

"Who is Zhang Chu?"

"I am the Jiangling Zhang family..."

"Can you prove that you are Zhang Chu?"

"I……"

Ma Yong asked again: "I said I was the governor of Nanjun. Do you believe it?"

"you……"

"You obviously don't believe it, so why do you say you are Zhang Chu, and we believe you are Zhang Chu? You say he is the chief secretary of Jiangling, and we believe he is the chief secretary of Jiangling! Why?"

At the end of his speech, Ma Yong deliberately raised his voice.

The crowd was immediately infected by his emotion.

Someone couldn't help but said: "Yes, you said you are the chief secretary of Jiangling, please show us the evidence!"

"I think he is fake..."

"..."

The people below started talking to each other.

And many people do know Zhang Chu and Zhan Ming. These two people are celebrities in the Han-Wu business line and are also big businessmen with a good reputation.

But just now Ma Yong pushed the topic in a skeptical direction.

Zhang Chu said that the old man was the chief secretary of Jiangling. Could it be that he said that on purpose so that he could steal some money for himself?

so bad!

"That old man is fake!"

Someone shouted.

Liu Yan was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he shouted: "How dare you disobey the imperial court's orders, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Yong suddenly pushed Liu Yan with his hand.

Liu Yan was already old, and he was beaten and injured. His body was unstable and he rolled down the steps.

He kept screaming while rolling.

After rolling down, his head was bruised and bleeding, and he still had his last few breaths.

Ma Yong shouted: "Rescue this person quickly. Although he is a liar, he will be beaten to death if he arouses public anger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd stepped forward and kicked Liu Yan: "Liar!"

When someone starts, someone follows.

The ones behind him immediately followed up and kicked him, and in a blink of an eye, more people passed by.

Not only with your feet, but also with your fists.

"Beat him to death! How dare you use such despicable and despicable means to steal salt!"

Zhang Chu was stunned when he saw this scene.

Dong Hong was also stunned. He didn't expect the situation to turn into this. He hurriedly said to Ma Yong: "Hurry up and organize them..."

"Okay, okay..." Ma Yong responded while pushing Zhang Chu, who didn't react.

Zhang Chu also rolled down.

The crowd was already in chaos. After Zhang Chu fell down screaming, he was immediately stepped on by the chaotic crowd.

He pushed and pulled hard, and the crowd was confused and couldn't tell who was pulling him in.

Ma Yong turned around and looked at Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming immediately took a few steps back and said, "I'm just a small businessman, and I'm Li Shangshu's dog!"

Ma Yong immediately pointed at the guards and shouted: "What are you still doing! Still not maintaining law and order!"

Only then did everyone react and immediately rushed down. It took a lot of effort to pull the angry crowd away.

Liu Yan and Zhang Cu had fallen into a pool of blood.

Liu Yan was even beaten into a pig's head, and he probably wouldn't even recognize his own mother when she came.

Where is Zhang Chu?

He died miserably and his shit was beaten out.

Zhan Ming was so frightened that he hid aside and shivered. Fortunately, he went back yesterday to show his loyalty.

Dong Hong looked tense and looked at Ma Yong: "You just..."

"I was planning to go down just now to maintain law and order!"

After saying that, Ma Yong said to the people around him: "Arrest all those who beat people! Anyone who dares to resist will never come to Jiangzhou in the future!"

About thirty people were arrested.

The storm was quickly stabilized, and more guards were dispatched to seal off the surrounding area.

Then someone went up to report the matter. After listening to it, Li Heng wiped his hands happily while eating melon, and then walked down.

As soon as we got down, Ma Yong came up and reported the details.

Li Heng's face immediately showed a distressed expression: "What! People were beaten to death! Oh my! How could it be like this! It's so cruel!"

I am so sad! In the free trade city I established, people were actually beaten to death!

But I can't be sad! I still have to sell salt!

Li Heng's "injured" soul was slightly comforted by the thought of those merchants coming to exchange Shu money.

He asked seriously: "Have all the murderers been arrested?"

"Caught it."

"Okay, okay." Li Heng said angrily, "The murderer must be punished severely, and that is Jiangling's chief secretary..."

"Mr. Li, that Jiangling chief clerk is fake!" Ma Yong said seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense!"
