Merchant of the Underworld

Shang Yang...

I fell silent when Zhang Feng said this name, and I acquiesced in this statement in my heart.

Shang Yang is a famous politician and reformer in history. He believed in a truth since he was a child: only strict discipline and cruel punishment can make a country rise!

Afterwards, he moved from Wei to Qin, met Qin Xiaogong three times, and finally implemented the famous 'Shang Yang's Reform'. Although the laws Shang Yang enacted for the Qin State were extremely severe, they were very beneficial to the Qin State at that time. Driven by the reforms, the Qin State quickly grew from poverty and backwardness to gradually becoming stronger, laying the foundation for the subsequent annexation of the six countries.

But the irony is that Shang Yang also died because of the reform!

After the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang had no backing. He was soon framed by ministers and nobles for rebellion. Shang Yang was forced to flee to the border and wanted to stay. But the owner of the inn didn't know that he was Shang Yang, and saw that he didn't bring a voucher, so he explained to him that according to Shang Yang's law, guests who stayed overnight without a voucher would be punished, so he refused Shang Yang's stay.

The desperate Shang Yang was forced to flee back to his fiefdom and raise an army to rebel. King Qin Hui naturally went to suppress it. Shang Yang was quickly defeated and died. His body was taken back to Xianyang and punished by being broken into pieces by five horses. At the same time, King Hui of Qin ordered that no one of Shang Yang's family should be left alive...

"Yes, Shang Yang was quartered by five horses in Xianyang, so his resentment was very deep!" I nodded. Although Shang Yang's tomb is in Shaanxi, Shang Yang's ghost is attached to the horseshoe and has been wandering around Xianyang.

Everyone was shocked. Shang Yang, a figure who only existed in history, would appear in such a way. For a moment, they didn't know whether they were scared or shocked.

Zhang Feng said nagging: "But why does he want to harm us? Even if he wants revenge, he should look for the descendants of King Qin Hui. Why should he look for us?"

I shook my head and said that Shang Yang was not seeking revenge.

"What?" Zhang Feng looked at me, and the others also stared at me in shock, as if waiting for my explanation.

I sorted out my thoughts and then said slowly: "He is still implementing Shang Yang's reforms..."

Before I knew he was Shang Yang, I thought it was the revenge of Yin Ling, but now it seems that it is not for revenge at all, he is still obsessed with the set of reforms he introduced.

The essence of Shang Yang's reform is that if the country wants to be strong, it must keep the people poor. Tang Ping and Qin Ruo both showed off their wealth before their deaths; the reason why Manager Wang died is probably related to his flattery. After all, Qin The reason why King Hui ordered Shang Yang to be arrested was because the ministers made slanderous remarks in front of King Qin Hui, so he hated such people.

After listening to my explanation, everyone no longer knew what expressions to use. Yin Xinyue took my arm and asked, would it be fine as long as I no longer touch these two aspects?

I slowly closed my eyes: "It's too late..."

If I could discover Yin Ling's identity after Tang Ping's death, it might still be too late, but the three dead people have completely aroused Shang Yang's resentment, and I'm afraid it can't be stopped.

"What should I do?" Yin Xinyue looked at me worriedly. I squeezed her hand to reassure her, and then I looked at Captain Chen and asked him to prepare something for me.

"Bring a few more computers over and find me videos about criticizing and belittling Shang Yang. The more the better!" I thought about it and said to Captain Chen solemnly.

Captain Chen nodded and went down immediately to do the work, while I motioned for everyone to rest first. It was impossible for Shang Yang to come out to harm others tonight.

After returning to the room, Yin Xinyue curiously asked me what I wanted those videos for. I waved my hand and told her that she would know tomorrow.

The next day, everyone gathered in the hall, and Captain Chen also set up the five computers he had bought. I called up the video of Shang Yang’s negative comments. It was different on each computer, and then paused it.

"Look, I spent five million to get this black ball. It's worth a lot of money." After getting ready, I took out the black ball in my arms.

Originally, I also thought about getting other things such as watches and diamonds, but I couldn't think of anything else like this that was the most valuable.

Everyone knew what I meant, and they looked at me with confused expressions. I had no choice but to look at Li Mazi. Someone had to accompany me in this play.

Fortunately, Li Mazi was old enough and rushed up to me immediately to ask me what it was and how it could be worth so much money.

I immediately introduced the black ball in a showy tone, and then put it away.

The next thing to do is to wait for Shang Yang to come to your door...

"You guys are guarding five computers. When I tell you to put them out, you will put them out together. Do you understand?" After it got dark, I quickly made arrangements. Captain Chen and his three police officers were guarding the computers, as well as Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi. As for Zeng Wan and Zhang Feng, I don't dare to use them. After all, they have never seen the world. If they slip up at the critical moment, I will cry.

After preparing everything, I placed the horseshoe in front of the computer. I also pulled a chair and sat next to it. Then I took out the mahogany wood, and invisible needles were flying around me.

Everyone was too nervous to breathe. I was in the mood to joke with them, but no one responded so I had to give up.

Buzz…

The moment I regained my concentration, the invisible needle buzzed, and then my neck hurt!

I immediately took out the black ball and poured it into the spiritual power. Then I felt that the force on my neck was much lighter. At the same time, I controlled the invisible needle to pierce the Yin spirit and shouted: "Let go!"

The five videos all contain negative comments about Shang Yang, accusing him of being ruthless and mean. Although the reforms implemented by Shang Yang made the Qin State stronger, it made ordinary people live in dire straits, and even neighbors could not even talk to each other. They don't dare to say anything because they are afraid that if they say something wrong and they will be reported, they will be beheaded.

One of the videos directly denies Shang Yang completely, believing that even without him, the unification of the six countries by Qin would be an inevitable trend, so his reforms by Shang Yang were completely unnecessary.

After the video was released, I saw the black shadow around me slowly emerge, and I stared at the video in confusion.

This is also my purpose. Since what he cares about most is Shang Yang's reform, then I will destroy him from this aspect! As long as he knows that what he has always believed in is actually criticized, he can have a momentary flaw, and this moment is enough.

The white light shield of the black ball slowly dissipated. While I still had the last trace of spiritual power, I inserted the invisible needle into the wound on Shang Yang's neck. In an instant, he fell into pieces and slowly dissipated.

I collapsed on the ground and gasped for air. The wound on my neck hurt slightly. I raised my hand and touched it and found that the wound had been bleeding.

What a risk. If my reaction had been slower for just one second, I would have been seriously injured now. Fortunately, there was a black ball, which instantly reduced Shang Yang's Yin Qi by half. Otherwise, even with video assistance, I wouldn't be able to solve it so easily when he came to his senses. Buying half of my life for five million is really worth it.

"Resolved?" Yin Xinyue rushed over and treated my wound briefly. I nodded. Everyone cried with joy at first, and then slowly fell silent. Especially Zhang Feng, who kicked the horseshoe fiercely and finally fell to the ground and cried bitterly...

The next day I said goodbye to Captain Chen and returned with Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi.

When the train left Xianyang Station, I looked at this thousand-year-old city and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that Shang Yang had been dormant for two thousand years because of a reform that year?
