Chapter 906: What a Person
Yin Huaixi smiled but said nothing.
Yu Youyao pursed her lips. “I’m not a fool. The Han Clan’s power is intertwined, but ever since Madam Zhang complained, everything has been going according to my plan. There’s no deviation from my expectations. Everything has gone unbelievably smoothly. It’s as if there’s a pair of hands secretly pushing all of this.”
Yin Ten and Yin San were both secret guards under Yin Huaixi whose strength was ranked at the top.
Yin San was in charge of contacting the other secret guards, executing dispatches, and controlling public opinion in Xiangping City. He would muddy the waters in Xiangping City and give the spies planted by the aristocratic families a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Yin Shi was good at gathering information, so she hid in the dark and kept an eye on the commotion in Xiangping City. As long as those people appeared, they could not escape Yin Shi’s eyes.
The two of them cooperated very well, one in the light and one in the dark.
“As expected.” Yin Huaixi sighed slightly. “l can’t hide anything from you. After you arrived in Xiangping City, the situation in the court took a turn for the worse. I was worried that the consort party would take the opportunity to attack you, so I arranged it in advance. I originally only planned to be on guard in case you suffered. Who knew…”
Towards the end, his tone became a little strange.
Yu Youyao’s intuition told her that it wasn’t anything good. Her eyes widened. “How would I know what?”
Who knew that she was so crazy!! With an unfriendly gaze, Yin Huaixi did not dare to say that. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat, spouting nonsense with a serious expression. “Who knew that you were so capable? You knocked on the door to voice your grievances and created public opinion to stir up trouble in Xiangping City.”
There was a foul atmosphere. The words circled on the tip of his tongue before he swallowed them and changed them to, “It’s earth-shattering. Not only did it fool the Han Clan, but it also almost stunned me.’
An inexperienced person defeated a master by throwing out the rules of traditions. These words were really not an exaggeration. The Han Clan had a thousand schemes and all kinds of methods. If they encountered someone who did not play according to the rules, wouldn’t it be all in chaos? With her guidance, they would completely fall into the trap.
However, could he say that?!
That had to be impossible!
He had to praise her for being smart and far-sighted.
Yu Youyao felt that he was not telling the truth. Seeing that he looked sincere and did not have any evidence, she pursed her lips. “I didn’t want this to happen either. Who would be willing to let someone slander themselves?! However, although it can be proved that someone was framing the princess behind her back, it’s not enough to prove that the Han Clan was behind it. Didn’t the Han Clan use Liu Dagen’s case to slander me? Then I’ll help him.”
After the matter of the Bai Residence selling inferior medicinal herbs was made public, under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, the Bai Residence became the culprit behind Liu Dagen’s death. Such disregard for human lives caused an uproar.
However, the Bai Residence acted as if nothing had happened and even publicly donated to the You army and the government. At this juncture, anyone would have mistakenly thought that the Bai Residence was spending money to work hard and try to settle the matter.
The Bai Residence’s “fearless” actions made everyone think that Princess Shaoyi was unable to abide by the law of the Imperial Court and was disregarding the rules of the government to protect the Bai Residence.
After all, the Bai Residence’s notice of “being kind” was still posted at the entrance of all the Bai Residence’s medicinal shops.
Yin Huaixi wanted to laugh when he heard this. Didn’t she know how many of these rumors were spread by herself?
She was unwilling to let others slander her.
However, she was happy to slander herself.
However, Yin Huaixi did not dare to show it. His heart ached as he said, “I’ve let you suffer recently.”
Yu Youyao immediately smiled. “Fortunately, my arrangements are still useful. The bigger Liu Dagen’s case is, the greater the implication. When the Han Clan reacts, they won’t be able to cover it up even if they wanted to.” Yin Huaixi smiled. “When the truth is revealed, the royalists will definitely not let it go easily. Meanwhile, the Han Clan has angered everyone, and the world will definitely condemn them. Due to the Han Clan’s boldness, they framed the princess and provoked the dignity of the royal family again. The royal family won’t tolerate the Han Clan either.”
If they wanted to overthrow the Han Clan, they first had to completely dismantle the tolerance of the royal family towards the Han Clan and cause the Han Clan’s reputation to be ruined.
Yu Youyao acutely noticed that the Han Clan was using public opinion to deal with her. She knew that the opportunity to deal with the Han Clan had arrived, so she beat them at their own game and used herself as bait to lure the Han Clan in.
Yu Youyao seemed to have thought of something and said, “Did you know long ago that a direct descendant of the Han Clan had come to Xiangping City and had yet to leave?”
If it weren’t for Yin Huaixi’s subtle reminder, she wouldn’t have thought about it.
Yin Huaixi nodded. “The person who came is the sixth son of the direct descendant of the Han Clan. He’s quite famous in the North. If the Jiazhou Residence is so-called benevolent, then He Zhixian is really a despicable person. This person is a fence sitter and is very sly. The Han Clan was worried that others wouldn’t be able to control him, so they sent the sixth son of the Han Clan over.’
Back in Quanzhou, the Jiazhou Residence’s actions of bringing their son to apologize seemed benevolent, but in essence, it was the same as He Zhixian’s scheme. They both wanted to trap her into being heartless and unrighteous. It indeed matched the description of being “so-called benevolent”.
Yu Youyao frowned. It was as she had guessed.
Yin Huaixi continued, “Sixth Young Master Han’s mission was to immediately contact the spies planted in Xiangping City after Madam Zhangs complaint was successful and arrange for him to leave Xiangping immediately. Those spies will naturally deal with the subsequent matters. I didn’t expect that when He Zhixian found out that you had gone to the government office to beat the drum and voice your grievances, he rebelled at the last minute and placed
Sixth Young Master Han under house arrest in a manor to prevent him from being abandoned by the Han Clan.”
Ye Xiaoci was He Zhixian’s superior. If he alarmed the government office, it would be equivalent to holding onto He Zhixian’s lifeline. Hezhi County had no choice but to make other plans.
Yu Youyao immediately understood. “Although he’s fine since the Han Clan can help him get away with it, Xiangping is under the watch of the government office and King Yue Fei. After that, the Han Clan won’t dare to do anything to him. Once word gets out that he framed the princess, the Han
Clan won’t be able to escape responsibility. Even if the Han Clan isn’t reliable, he can still bite back.”
He was indeed a despicable person. She had a way to win and a way to lose. One would rather offend a gentleman than a despicable person. The ancestors did not lie.
Yin Huaixi nodded. “Sixth Young Master Han is a direct descendant of the Han family and can order He Zhixian around. However, He Zhixian has been an official for more than ten years. The older the wiser. How can Sixth Young Master Han be his match? I think he has secretly done a lot to frame the princess. ”
“The hunter will become the hunted.” Yu Youyao was speechless. The reason why he was so fearless was not because of the Han Clan at all, but because he had left something up his sleeve. “The Han Clan has really failed this time..”
