I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 Good! Kill your whole family!

There were many people behind the city gate, holding ring-headed knives in their hands, sweating profusely and staring nervously at the city gate.

The moment the Imperial Guards came in, the people behind were pushed to the ground and screamed in confusion.

Before he could defend himself, the guards' knives had already struck him.

The forehead of the person at the front was split open with a knife, red and white brains splashed out, and his face was distorted.

The blade was forcibly torn out from the seam of the skull in an instant, bringing out a large piece of bone residue.

The killing begins.

Although the Praetorian Guards lacked experience in killing enemies, they were well-equipped.

If the opponent's sword hits the armor and cannot split the armor, he will be killed immediately.

Soon, the morale of the defenders collapsed. They turned around and fled back, but there were people behind them.

People squeeze people, people push people.

Countless people were chopped down and pushed to the ground.

"Run away!"

"Help! Help me! I still have a cow at home that I can give to you!"

"Save me! I'm not dead yet, I can still be saved!"

"..."

There was a look of horror on the faces of the people behind them. The previous pride and madness were gone, leaving only fear and despair.

The Praetorian Guards began to pour into the city in large numbers, killing anyone with a knife on sight.

At first, many people resisted in the streets and alleys, but this resistance was quickly suppressed.

The Chang family arranged many of their own troops nearby, and after the defense line at the city gate was torn apart, they also joined the battle.

The two sides fought in the narrow streets of the city.

Screams and the sound of knives hitting bones were mixed together, and heads kept rolling down and being kicked away.

After about an hour, the fighting slowly eased down.

The ground was strewn with corpses, and human heads were floating in the pool of blood.

Several guardsmen were tired of chopping and sat in the corner, slowly wiping the bone residue and minced meat on the blade.

There were also some painful wails coming from the surroundings, and occasionally there were heart-rending screams.

Chang Rong hurried back: "Father, the defense in front of the city gate has been breached."

"Don't worry, let our troops stay nearby. As long as we persist for a few days, Li Jian will receive news of uprisings from various places. Then we will see how he continues to attack Jiangyuan!"

"Our unit's defense is also..."

Chang Wei was startled for a moment, then stood up immediately and said: "Hurry and go to the west gate! Hurry!"

Chang Wei ordered his men to clean up briefly and immediately fled to the west gate.

At this time, Li Heng was waiting patiently outside the city. He knew that the rebellion in Jiangyuan County had been suppressed.

Not long after, Fu Qian came over.

"General, the rebels in the city have been defeated."

"Have you found a young man named Zhang Yang?" Li Heng asked, "There is also a young man named Zhou Wen. One of them is the official responsible for surveying fields in Jiangyuan, and the other is the chief bookkeeper of the newspaper."

"The city is in chaos right now, and it may be impossible to find anyone."

"Try to find it."

"Here."

Li Heng looked back at Lu Zhi and said, "I remember notifying them in advance?"

"Yes, we have informed everyone. After the rebellion in Qixian County was reported, we sent people to notify the surveyors and newspaper staff in various places. However, these young people in Jiangyuan County were unwilling to evacuate."

"why?"

"I said I hope to stay and tell the people the truth, even if I die, it doesn't matter."

After listening, Li Heng fell silent for a long time.

He knew that among the heads hanging on the city wall, there might be students from the Capital University.

"General, there are many people who are against us now, but the students in the Capital University are all supporting us without exception, as well as those who followed the First Lord into Yizhou."

"Those people in Jingzhou are still waiting and watching. Don't draw premature conclusions until the end." After a while, Fu Qian came over on horseback again.

"General, the rebellion in the city has been subsided. We captured the Chang family at the west gate, as well as Jiangyuan County Magistrate Li Chao and his family."

"How many people are there in the Chang family?"

"In Gangwon County, my family has about seven hundred people."

"Caught them all?"

"Caught them all."

"Bring him here, I want to see the head of the Chang family."

In the evening, the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed. Between the gaps in the tile clouds in the western sky, the setting sun is emitting soft light and falling on the streets.

Not long after, Chang Wei was brought over, along with hundreds of members of the Chang family.

Including the county magistrate Li Chao.

Li Chao shouted: "General, my subordinate is Li Chao, the magistrate of Jiangyuan County. I have something very important to tell the general."

"Go ahead."

"General, I was coerced. I never participated in the rebellion. It was Chang Wei who instigated it in Jiangyuan County!"

"Are you the county magistrate?"

"Yes, the lower official is the county magistrate and is loyal to the court."

"Let me ask you, do you know where a newspaper official named Zhou Wen is?"

Li Chao was slightly startled and said quickly: "General, Zhou Wen has been killed by Chang Wei. Those people were arrested and beheaded in front of the crowd. The official stopped him at the time, but Chang Wei threatened the official with death. Your Majesty..."

"Then why don't you die!" Li Heng interrupted him angrily, staring at Li Chao like a sharp sword, "Come here! Drag him down and chop him down!"

"General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"

"Don't drag it out any longer!" Li Heng roared.

Li Chao was immediately dragged down and knelt on the ground. His wife was on the side, watching this scene with tears.

Li Chao collapsed to the point of crying and shouted: "General, I just didn't do any evil, I just kept silent..."

With a click, Li Chao's head rolled to the ground, a large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, and the headless body fell to the ground.

Li Chao's wife and son cried louder.

"His wife was exiled to the frontier."

"Here!"

At this time, the head of the Chang family was brought up, as well as Chang Wei's son Chang Rong.

Chang Wei looked haggard and turned his head away from Li Heng.

Li Heng said: "You have done such an outrageous thing and you dare not look at me?"

"What I do is righteous, and I am worthy of the wise people in the world, you?" Chang Wei sneered, with an excited tone, "You are just a clown!"

"Bold!" Fu Qian was furious, "You were just rude to the general!"

"General?" Chang Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, "Which family does he come from? And what is his county title?"

This time Fu Qian was silenced.

Fu Qian was born into a general and belonged to the second generation of Ji Han. His father followed Liu Bei and died protecting Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling.

They are a famous family among famous families.

But what about Li Heng?

"Did you kill Zhang Yang, Zhou Wen and others?"

"So what if I killed them!" Chang Wei roared angrily, his face turning red. "A few untouchables were copying newspapers and confusing the people all day long. I killed them to do justice to God!"

Fu Qian on the side said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"

"So what if you kill my whole family!"

"Okay! Kill your whole family!" Li Heng said.
