Chapter 204: Using Other People to Do What She Wants
Ye Feng is a typical example of someone being sold out and still helping others count money.
Shi Lidie was the biggest driving force behind the scenes, but no one seemed to have expected that she was so bold. A princess from another country, with such a small number of people, dared to stir up trouble in Ye State.
"I have said everything I need to say. It is getting late, so I will leave now." Shi Lidie said, "I will arrange the pick-up and then find a way to contact you. Before the prince returns to the capital, I will not come here again, so as not to be seen and unable to explain myself."
"Yes, I will try my best to accomplish these two things." Ye Feng nodded.
The reason why he listened to Shi Lidie so much was not because he was loyal to Shi Lidie, but mainly for the sake of Crown Prince Ye Zhaonan. More importantly, Shi Lidie's proposal was beneficial to Ye Zhaonan.
Soon, Shi Lidie put on her veil again and left here in a low-key manner.
The carriage quietly left the narrow alley. Shi Lidie sat inside and breathed a sigh of relief.
Stimulate! So exciting!
Like a triple spy, he moves between various forces every day and dances on the edge of a knife. This is enough to be called extremely daring.
Her plan would never succeed if there was a fool among these forces.
Because they are all smart people, they think they are the ones playing chess and that they can definitely control the overall situation, so they all believe her words without a doubt.
However, Shi Lidie is not so conceited as to think that she is extremely smart and unique.
All she relied on was that she had a better perspective than this group of people, knew the plot of the whole book, stood on the shoulders of the giant of modern society, and had two systems as trump cards, so she dared to play such a big game.
However, this is her best option.
The system said that Ye Zhaonan was the male protagonist and had the aura of an emperor. The aura of such a person could not be weakened overnight. Before weakening his aura, she couldn't even use a lightning talisman.
So, she could only try her best to pull him down.
But, she didn't have the manpower.
It takes too long to cultivate confidants from scratch, and she cannot guarantee that her subordinates will not betray her, so the only thing she can do is to use other people's people to accomplish what she wants to do.
In this way, even if the truth is revealed in the future, it will be their problem and will not be traced to her.
After all, her interactions with these people were entirely based on her mouth, and there were no audio or video recordings in those days, so who could prove that she said these words?
Simply perfect.
Late at night, two different groups of people left the capital and headed for the imperial mausoleum.
One group was the assassins from Xuanyi Tower, who went to assassinate the Second Prince Ye Jiayan; the other group was the assassins prepared by Concubine Xian, who went to assassinate the Crown Prince Ye Zhaonan.
As for what kind of confrontation would occur between these two groups in the imperial mausoleum, Shi Lidie had no idea.
She didn't want to know either.
There are only a few results:
Either the two brothers both died in the imperial mausoleum, or both came back alive, or one died and the other lived.
But no matter what the result is, it makes no difference to Shi Lidie. If she can't kill them, at most she can find another way after she comes back, which will just be a little troublesome.
After Shi Lidie returned home, she washed up, lay down and had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, she went to the tavern, taking advantage of the rare half-day free time she had since she didn't have to go to the palace to treat the emperor and didn't have to deal with Ye Zhaonan and Ye Jiayan.
The pub's business was as prosperous as ever, with daily turnover reaching an astonishing figure.
After checking the accounts, Shi Lidie generously gave bonuses to the tavern owner and waiters. When she was about to leave, she saw the tavern owner stepped forward and said:
"Boss, if you have time, why don't you stay in the tavern for a while?"
"Why?" Shi Lidie asked.
"It's like this. You didn't come to the tavern two days ago, so we had two merchants from far away. They said they were from the south and wanted to cooperate with us to ship our wine to the south to sell." The shopkeeper explained, "But I can't make the decision on this matter, so I told them that I will tell them when the boss comes again."
"I see. You asked me to stay a little longer. Could it be that they will come today?"
"No, no, no, they left their address and said they were staying at Qingfeng Inn. I'll send someone to invite them now." The shopkeeper said, "Boss, I know you're not short of money, but no one has too much money. If you can transport it to the south and sell it at a high price, you can get more benefits. What do you think?"
Shi Lidie looked at the shopkeeper trying to persuade her and said with a smile:
"From what I see, those two merchants from afar gave you some benefits, right? So you speak for them like this?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and revealed a guilty expression:
"Master, please forgive me. I just... don't mind the money. If you don't like it, I will return it to them immediately."
"No need. Just take it and call them over. It's a business anyway, there's no reason to push the money away." Shi Lidie said, "But don't do it again."
The shopkeeper bowed to Shi Lidie with tears of gratitude and quickly sent someone to invite the two merchants.
As for Shi Lidie, she prepared tea in the inner room, waiting for customers to come.
About half an hour later, they arrived.
The shopkeeper led the two men into the inner room. When Shi Lidie looked up, her pupils suddenly contracted.
The person who came turned out to be an acquaintance!!!
"Boss, please go out first. I want to discuss business with these two guests." Shi Lidie said to the shopkeeper.
So the shopkeeper left the inner room and closed the door.
After he walked away, Shi Lidie suddenly jumped up, rushed to one of them, and gave him a friendly hug:
"Ahhh Tingting!!! Why are you here!!!"
"My brother came to help you on the orders of the emperor. I thought I had nothing to do anyway, so I came along." The other person replied with a smile.
That’s right, the people who came were Shi Lidie’s good friend Chen Shuting and her cousin Chen Zhao.
"Hurry, sit down and talk." Shi Lidie quickly asked them to sit down.
Soon, Chen Zhao explained the cause and effect of the matter -
After Shi Lidie left the capital of Dayin Dynasty as a princess married to a foreign king that day, His Majesty of Dayin Dynasty thought about it and felt a little worried. After all, the "spy plan" that Shi Lidie mentioned was too bold and unbelievable.
Although the emperor agreed to Shi Lidie's request to be a spy, there were too few people around Shi Lidie who could be used.
More importantly, the capital of Ye State was far away from the capital of Dayin Dynasty, and there was no time to contact each other if anything happened. The emperor of Dayin Dynasty was afraid that Shi Lidie would have no one available and fall into danger, so he found Chen Zhao.
The emperor and his minister staged a play to make Chen Zhao make a mistake and be demoted. In fact, he left the capital and quietly came to Ye State.
Chen Shuting didn't want to stay in Beijing and be pressured to get married by her family through blind dates, but she also wanted to learn from Shi Lidie and live a free and easy life. So when Chen Zhao left Beijing, she secretly followed him out.
Now that we are out, it is impossible to rush back, otherwise the news will easily leak out.
Therefore, the brother and sister forged their household registration and went to a prosperous city in the south of Ye State. After making a name for themselves as businessmen, they finally came to the capital of Ye State.
