Merchant of the Underworld

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Shen and Yang Qian came to the hospital as agreed. I arranged them in a vacant ward opposite Professor Zhou and asked Li Mazi to accompany them.

"Wait until I call you in the evening before you come in again!" I told him a few words. Seeing that Xu Shen's mood had completely stabilized, I left with peace of mind.

I was really afraid that he would lose control and rush directly into Professor Zhou's room, which would give me a headache.

In fact, with the director's information, I already believe that the claims about Xu Shen's plagiarism are rumors. I even think that Professor Zhou may have plagiarized Xu Shen's paper, but Professor Zhou must let Professor Zhou speak out for himself.

At about eight o'clock, I entered Professor Zhou's ward. After entering, I glanced at the newspaper and turned it over. Looking at Professor Zhou's look, I knew that he was very frightened.

I chuckled: "Professor Zhou, how are you thinking? Do you want to tell the truth so that I can help you, right?"

"I-I didn't lie to you." He stared at me, obviously without confidence.

Seeing that he was still tough-talking, I didn't talk nonsense to him, turned around and left. By the way, I told him that I would be in the hospital today, and if he changes his mind, remember to find me at any time.

After leaving the ward, I used the ghost inviting spell to capture a passing female ghost. After watching her enter Professor Zhou's room, I went to have dinner with a smile. He should have felt better after such a long time. Yes.

Sure enough, the phone rang just after I finished eating. When I saw it was Professor Zhou, I immediately turned on the recording and then picked up.

As I expected, as soon as the call was connected, Professor Zhou's voice calling for help came over: "Help me, help me quickly, I will say anything, this thing is bothering me because, because I have plagiarized students' papers many times. !”

"Haha, I finally said it." I smiled and hung up the phone. He wouldn't die for a while anyway, so I didn't mind letting him suffer more.

When I returned to the ward, I called Xu Shen and the others over first, and then walked into Professor Zhou's ward calmly. As soon as I pushed out of the ward, I was stunned. The female ghost I arranged was subdued, and the Yin spirit wearing a black Hanfu was standing in front of Professor Zhou, about to kill him.

"Huang Yueying!" I shouted.

Yes, if I couldn't guess who the Yin Ling was before, but combined with the important information about genius, wooden dog and the Three Kingdoms, I can finally guess who the Yin Ling is in front of me.

"Huang Yueying, is that you?" I looked at the Yin Ling in front of me and asked slowly.

She looked at me with a dark look, the scarlet color in her eyes became more and more intense. I watched her slowly tell the story of Huang Yueying.

There are very few records about Huang Yueying in history. One is about her appearance. There is a poem called "Don't choose a wife like Kong Ming, the upright Ah Cheng is an ugly girl."

This A Cheng Chou girl refers to Huang Yueying. It is said that she looks ugly, with yellow hair and dark skin, so the people also gave her a nickname called Huang A Chou!

Another record about Huang Yueying in history is her intelligence. She is the daughter of Huang Chengyan, a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms. She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. She is versatile and is also a powerful machine master. This is why Zhuge Liang married her. .

But since marrying Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying's intelligence seems to have disappeared. There are gradually more records about Zhuge Liang in history, but only a few about Huang Yueying. And most of them said that she was ugly and not worthy of Zhuge Liang, so in the end she died of depression...

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood.

"Actually, all your inventions are spread to the world in the name of Zhuge Liang. Even the Eight Formations that Zhuge Liang is proud of were learned from you. That's why you resent these false geniuses, right?" I suddenly realized. Looking at Huang Yueying.

She invented the wooden dog and even Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and flowing horse, so she would only possess the wooden dog after her death, looking for one target after another.

Her formation skills are superb, so it is very simple to set up a enchantment formation on the wooden dog. This is why Professor Zhou bought the wooden dog uncontrollably when he saw it.

Huang Yueying sneered: "Yes, everyone in the world knows Kong Ming, but who remembers me Huang Yueying? Why can't I be compared with my husband? They must die, they must die!"

Then she told me the truth about history.

It turns out that the real Huang Yueying is not ugly, but a strange woman with unparalleled resourcefulness.

Huang Chengyan was afraid that those young men would only focus on his daughter's beauty and ignore her talent and learning, so he deliberately called his daughter "A Chou". Slowly, rumors spread, and Huang Yueying became an ugly monster!

Later, only Zhuge Liang recognized the truth and married Huang Yueying back home. Huang Yueying also wrote all the formations and strategies she had learned throughout her life on a goose feather fan as a token of her love for Zhuge Liang.

Since then, Zhuge Liang's Feather Fan has never left his hand. He was originally a Crouching Dragon that was rare to see in a hundred years. Now that the couple have joined forces to assist Uncle Liu Huang, he has reached the sky!

Whether it is six out of Qishan Mountain or three out of three parts of the world, he always shakes his feather fan and wins a thousand miles. In doing so, he not only expressed his gratitude to his beloved wife, but also learned the formation strategies on the fan all the time.

The wooden cows and flowing horses, waterwheels, and continuous crossbows designed by Huang Yueying greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Shu Kingdom.

However, later generations ignored Huang Yueying's existence, passed all Huang Yueying's achievements onto Zhuge Liang, and praised Zhuge Liang as a god, but Huang Yueying became an ugly woman and a laughing stock. How could she not be resentful?

Having said this, she still wanted to rush towards Professor Zhou, who turned pale with fright and screamed.

I stood in front of Professor Zhou and advised the crazy Huang Yueying: "What you want is not for them to die, what you want is for their behavior to be made public to the world, otherwise Professor Zhou will not be allowed to do it again and again." If what belongs to him is returned, I will make him publicly apologize!"

"Master Zhang, I, I can't apologize publicly, otherwise my life will be over, it will be over..." Professor Zhou grabbed my arm.

I turned to look at him coldly: "Is this life over? What about Xu Shen's life?"

He was stunned, and after a while he shook his head crazily and said that he couldn't apologize publicly anyway.

I chuckled: "That's okay, I'll let her kill you, or hand you over to the police, and your life will be over, right?"

Professor Zhou looked at me and said that he was my client and I couldn't do this.

But I ignored him and just asked him whether he wanted his life or his reputation? Oh, no, even if his reputation cannot be preserved even if he dies, I will still disclose to the world that he plagiarized Xu Shen's paper.

Xu Shen's eyes were red as he kept thanking me, but I waved my hand and said there was no need to thank me. This was what he deserved in the first place.

Professor Zhou was stunned. I saw that he did not give up and took a step aside. Huang Yueying immediately rushed forward and grabbed Professor Zhou's neck.

"I apologize, I apologize..."

In the end, the fear of death overwhelmed Professor Zhou. I quickly stepped forward to stop Huang Yueying. Unexpectedly, she had already let go of Professor Zhou before I could take action.

I did not wait until the next day, but directly asked Professor Zhou to record a video and post it on his Weibo, and then contacted major media to fully announce the incident.

In the video last week, the professor told all about how he oppressed students and took advantage of their papers for his own use. Through his words, I learned that Xu Shen was not the only one who was harmed by him, but there were also some geniuses who had graduated long ago and were unable to gain a foothold in the history industry because of him, and their lives were very miserable.

"There are still many such people in the world, but they will eventually get the retribution they deserve! As for you, I will also contact historical experts to clear your name." After everything was done, I looked at Huang Yueying, hoping that she would give up her resentment. .

Huang Yueying stared at me, obviously not believing it.

I smiled and said that if she didn't believe it, she could stay in the wooden dog for a while and wait until things were effective.

She finally nodded, and the scarlet color in her eyes receded a lot. I knew that even if she didn't say it, Professor Huang's public apology had made her see results.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Shen thanked me again and again. I patted him on the shoulder: "I forgot about you. You are actually a historical genius. So please find more classics to rehabilitate Huang Yueying. I will Go contact the experts.”

Naturally, Xu Shen didn't refuse at all. After thanking me again, he hurried away. It looked like he was going to find some information.

I didn't waste any time, and early the next morning I found a retired professor named Yi through connections. Fortunately, this professor had been studying the history of the Three Kingdoms period and had also written a book called "A Taste of the Three Kingdoms". He was extremely interested in Huang Yueying's deeds and agreed without saying a word.

He said that as long as there is solid historical basis, he is willing to stand up and rectify the name of this talented woman through the ages!

And Xu Shen moved quickly enough, and he found a bunch of ancient books a week later. Professor Yi did not hesitate to announce in front of the world that it was time to pour cold water on the already deified Zhuge Liang. In fact, many of Zhuge Liang's inventions were Huang Yueying's masterpieces.

For example, Zhuge Liangnu, wooden ox and flowing horse, wheeled waterwheel, Kongming lantern and so on.

But if we want Huang Yueying to step onto the big stage of history, this alone is not enough. There is still a long way to go, so I am not in a hurry.

"I have to go now!"

Just as I was watching Professor Yi's latest lecture, Huang Yueying's ghost suddenly floated out of the wooden dog.

I asked her why. After all, this historical revolution has just begun, and many people still don’t believe that many of Zhuge Liang’s inventions came from Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying smiled: "The little girl's talent and knowledge were buried in that era. I am satisfied to be mentioned in this era. I only hope that one day, the world can return my reputation and put me and my husband together."

"Okay, it's time for me to reincarnate..."

"Wait, can I see what you look like?" I asked this question out of nowhere. Although I knew it was rude, I was really too curious.

Huang Yueying looked at me for a long time, then smiled slightly, raised her hand and took off the veil that had been on her face.

Her skin was as white as milk, her face was pointed, her eyes were like water, and she had a pair of red lips. She looked like a beauty walking out of a painting.

I couldn't help but marvel, who dares to say that Huang Yueying is the most ugly woman in the Three Kingdoms? If her true appearance is revealed, it is estimated that only Diao Chan would be the only one during the Three Kingdoms period, and Er Qiao could be on par with her, right?

Seeing her slowly becoming transparent, I couldn't help but bow deeply.

A talented woman of a generation, but her whole life was ruined by rumors about her ugly appearance. Even her full ambitions and unique skills were passed on to others. What a pitiful person.

And if she can give up her resentment and reincarnate when she sees some hope, isn't she a respectable person?

It wasn't until she disappeared that I stood up and placed the wooden dog that had become an ordinary object on the display shelf of the antique store.

Later, I told Huang Yueying’s story to a classmate who was an author on a novel website. After hearing this, he smoked a cigarette and said that he also met a youth novel writer who plagiarized the whole of other people’s books, which was shameless. They said they wrote it themselves, but the website didn't care. The readers were deceived, and now they are still enjoying themselves as a master.

There is no way, this is a fucked up society!

I exhaled: I hope there will be fewer roosters, dogs, and thieves in this world, so that they will not chill the hearts of those who truly shine.
