I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 192: Fighting against the Wu Envoy

"It's not a child's play." Zhou Mi smiled calmly and calmly, "On that day, Jiangling's chief secretary Liu Yan died tragically in Jiangzhou. Many businessmen in Dawu witnessed it with their own eyes."

"But why did I hear another theory?" Zong Yu replied, "It was your businessman who killed Liu Yan?"

"Zonggong was joking. Even if he gave them ten thousand courages, he would not dare to kill Jiangling's chief registrar in public." Zhou Mi said, "Zonggong was a clean figure in the world. He came to Jiankang to discuss an alliance between the two countries more than ten years ago. Afterwards, my lord often spoke of justice in the court."

When people talk to each other, some people start to wear high hats when talking about things doesn't work.

The so-called wearing a high hat is also part of emotional output.

Someone will use negative emotions to pressure you.

For example, I kindly remind you that if you don’t appreciate it, it’s me who is being mean.

Some people will use positive praise to cleverly avoid the matter itself and fill the other party with ecstasy.

For example, Zhou Mi puts a high hat on Zong Yu here.

The essence of these two methods is that when the debate logic of the matter is at a disadvantage, the debater begins to emotionally suppress the debater and forces the other party to admit his own statement.

Zong Yu didn't accept his trick and asked: "So who killed Liu Yan? Who did you send to investigate? Where was the investigation process? Did they go to Jiangzhou to collect evidence?"

Zhou Mi said: "Jiangzhou killed me, the chief secretary of Jiangling. If we send people to Jiangzhou again to collect evidence, wouldn't we be falling into a trap?"

"Report!" At this time, a voice came from the door, "There is someone outside claiming to be Li Heng and Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, asking to see the governor."

"Why is he here?" Zong Yu said in a daze, "Please come soon!"

Zhou Mi's reaction was huge. He was shocked and said quickly: "Zong Gong, he came just in time to confront me face to face!"

"Envoy, please be patient and wait until Li Jian arrives."

Zong Yu closed his eyes, and after a moment, Zhou Mi rolled his eyes and said: "Zong Gong, I heard that after Li Jian arrived in Chengdu, several major cases occurred. Even Shaofu Dan Cheng was brutally killed by him, and countless He was implicated, and later Qiao Zhou, who was well-educated in sage learning, was also imprisoned and had his house confiscated. Such people are not virtuous people, and they have already made the world angry and resentful. Now they are plotting to kill our Wu officials for no reason, and finally caused a huge disaster. Isn’t it true that Mr.…”

Before Zhou Mi could finish what he said, a voice came from outside: "Hey, he said this as if I was a man-eating evil spirit."

Zhou Mi hurriedly turned around and looked outside, only to see a young man in a green shirt striding in.

He had a smile on his face and a calm demeanor, as if he were strolling in a garden. He looked kind and friendly.

"I've met Mr. Zong!" Li Heng saluted.

His official position is similar to that of Zong Yu, but Zong Yu is older than him and has made great achievements in the past.

The most important thing is that Zong Yu is an upright person. As soon as they meet him, people feel admiration in their hearts.

Zong Yu clasped his fists and said: "Li Shangshu has arrived in Yong'an. He is involved in some official matters and cannot meet him from afar. Please give me some thanks."

While speaking, Zong Yu looked at Li Heng carefully.

Is this the Li Jian who has been making great changes in Chengdu for more than a year?

He does look as young as the rumors say.

Li Heng said: "How dare you trouble the Duke? Someone came uninvited and caused trouble to the Duke."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's my luck that Li Shangshu can come to Yong'an. Please take a seat."

Li Heng sat down, but his eyes were instantly fixed on Zhou Mi, the envoy of Wu State.

The moment he made eye contact with Li Heng, Zhou Mi's whole body trembled, as if there was a sharp sword on his neck.

But Zhou Mi quickly adjusted his state and glanced at Li Heng twice more with disdain.

Is this guy the legendary Li Shangshu?

It seems like nothing more than that!

"Who is this?" Li Heng asked knowingly.

"This is the envoy from the State of Wu, coming to Yong'an from General Quan Cong."

General Wei Quan Cong?

Li Heng sighed in his heart, Sun Quan had lost his money this time.

He actually sent Quan Cong here!

It seems that the determination to break through the defense line of Baidi City is not small!

Quan Cong is definitely a famous general of the Wu Kingdom, and even on the stage of this era, he is considered a very dazzling general star.

This man was brilliant both strategically and tactically.

When Guan Yu went north to attack Cao Ren in Xiangyang, Sun Quan and Lu Meng were already plotting a surprise attack on Jingzhou. Quan Cong, without knowing it, told Sun Quan that this was the perfect time to attack Jingzhou. Just after the Battle of Yiling that year, Cao Pi divided his troops into three routes to conquer Wu in the south. It can be said that all the best troops came out. The army on the east route was defeated by Quan Cong.

The commander of this journey is Cao Xiu.

Interestingly, Quan Cong defeated Cao Xiu again in the Battle of Shiting a few years later.

Later, in order to commend Quan Cong's achievements, Sun Quan married the princess to him.

Li Heng looked Zhou Mi up and down. Zhou Mi felt uncomfortable and said, "Your Excellency, are you Li Heng and Li Jian?"

"Exactly."

"Very good, let me ask you, why did you kill me, Liu Yan, the chief secretary of Jiangling?"

"You asked the wrong question." Li Heng said.

"Wrong question?"

"Wrong question!"

"How should I ask?"

"You should ask whether I killed Liu Yan, rather than why I killed Liu Yan." Li Heng said, "If you ask me why I killed Liu Yan, you have already preconceptionally affirmed that I killed Liu Yan, but in fact I didn't kill Liu Yan, and you can't tell whether I killed Liu Yan, but you asked the reason in such a sure tone, this is obviously a malicious frame-up!"

Zhou Mi was startled, then looked at Li Heng, his eyes had changed.

"Everyone has seen it, do you still want to quibble?"

"Who are all of them?" Li Heng asked back, "If you just rely on your words to assert that I killed your Jiangling chief clerk, then can I also say that some of my businessmen went to Wu State? They haven’t come back yet, it was you, Wu Guo, who killed them!”

"You're just messing around. You want evidence, right? I'll give you evidence!" Zhou Mi said angrily.

Then he said to Zong Yu: "My witness is outside. Does Zong Gong dare to let the witness come to confront me?"

Li Heng said: "Mr. Zong, I am the orthodox man in the world, and I have a great power and magnanimity. If they want to bring witnesses, let them come in!"

Zong Yu nodded.

Not long after, several businessmen walked in.

Zhou Mi smiled and said: "These are businessmen who often travel between Jiangling and Jiangzhou. They saw with their own eyes that Li Shangshu ordered people to kill Liu Yan!"

After that, Zhou Mi said to them: "Attention, this is Li Shangshu."

"Yes! We saw it with our own eyes, he killed him!" One of the businessmen pointed at Li Heng and said.

"I also saw it with my own eyes, he was the one who killed it!"

"He is the murderer!"

"..."

Everyone said something to each other.

Zhou Mi smiled and said: "These are businessmen traveling between Jiangling and Jiangzhou. You can check their identities. They were present at the time."

Li Heng laughed.

"Why is Li Shangshu laughing?"

"If you want to talk about the businessmen present, there are many more crooked melons and cracked dates in Jiangzhou than the few crooked melons and cracked dates you are looking for now. If you want to collect evidence, go to Jiangzhou to collect evidence!"

"Jiangzhou naturally favors Li Shangshu."

"You mean, Jiangzhou lied?"

"That's right.

"Then these crooked melons and dates you found are not lying?"

"They didn't lie. Now the whole world thinks that you killed someone. Our army of 100,000 soldiers of Wu Dynasty has arrived at Xiling. Li Shangshu doesn't want the Yong'an Palace in Baidi City to be flattened by us, right?"

Yong'an Palace was the place where Liu Bei took care of his children. He deliberately emphasized Yong'an Palace, but it was actually meant to be humiliating.
