Ruan Shihao is a very useful person.
I'm afraid even Ruan Shihao himself didn't expect this.
However, this great use is for Lin Hai and Qinghe, not for Cambodia.
But none of that mattered. According to Ruan Buping, his cousin had no flaws other than being a bit stupid, greedy, lustful, and afraid of death. Even his stupidity was a contrast to the other talented people in the court. Compared to ordinary people, no one who could squeeze through the narrow path of the imperial examination was stupid.
Even a complete idiot cannot complete the Lin Hai mission.
"I will leave him alone for a few days. During these days, you should find a way to let him see our military appearance. Remember, you have to take a peek." Lin Hai instructed.
"I understand, sir. You want to win the heart?" The servant boy kept his head down and stood with his hands crossed while speaking, and he never put down the luggage on his back.
"Yes, we need him to misjudge our strength. He needs to think that we are stronger than we actually are." Lin Hai said.
"I understand. I will let him discover this himself in these few days." The servant boy lowered his head and fiddled with his loose robe. The clothes were obviously ill-fitting and were several sizes too big. The servant boy kept trying to wrap the extra fabric around his waist with the straps of the luggage on his back, so that he would look more energetic.
"We are all family here, there is no need to be so nervous. You can also rest here and eat something before leaving." Lin Hai felt that the servant was a little nervous, so he changed the subject.
In fact, Lin Hai always felt a little guilty towards these soldiers on the hidden front.
With just one sentence "Qinghe needs you", they threw people into an enemy country surrounded by fierce enemies. However, the speed at which Qinghe's strength expanded has been unsatisfactory, causing many intelligence deployments in the early stages to become "idle chess moves".
It probably means that the person has already lurked in the past, and if the person is needed later, it will be "Lord Lin has far-sightedness and predicted this day many years ago." If the person is not needed, then he has wasted his life in vain.
Lin Hai once thought about what he would say if he met these soldiers one day. Should he encourage them to continue lurking and shining a last light for Qinghe, or thank them for their silent sacrifice?
But I didn't expect that when the time came, I couldn't say any righteous words.
Such warriors do not need the motivation of justice, their existence is justice.
A thousand thoughts swirled and danced in Lin Haili's mind, but in the end, all he could say were two words: "We're one family" and "Eat something before you go."
Lin Hai could clearly feel the servant's body trembling for a moment, but he quickly regained control. "It's better not to eat. After dinner, you won't be able to eat again. It will be easy to be discovered. Ruan Shihao must think his subordinates are being interrogated, and being interrogated means you can't eat."
"Indeed, I was inconsiderate." Although there is a saying that leaders never make mistakes and never apologize, Lin Hai did not command or interfere with the thoughts of these professionals at all.
If he could explain intelligence work clearly and logically in night school based on his years of experience reading online novels and watching spy dramas, and then trained the initial intelligence personnel, then the intelligence personnel trained by the Intelligence Department based on actual work experience after that were not something Lin Hai could easily teach.
Lin Hai understood that no matter what he said, even if he gave blind orders, these intelligence personnel would eventually obey his orders, but the price would be beyond Lin Hai's imagination and acceptance.
Even the loyalty test is not conducted this way.
"Sir, do you have any further instructions? I still want to follow Ruan Shihao as soon as possible to avoid any accidents." The servant's voice always sounded clumsy and timid. "Ruan Shihao must have bought him because he was broke," Lin Hai even felt a hint of mischief.
After all, he knew very well that every intelligence officer who could successfully graduate had a special offensive ability, either hand-to-hand combat, weapons, or poisoning... If Ruan Shihao knew that this seemingly stupid and cowardly servant boy he bought for a cheap price was actually a fighting master who could kill ten people with a dagger in one minute, I wonder if he would be afraid or feel that he had made a fortune.
"Sir, I followed Ruan Shihao when he left the city. I counted the money he had on him. By the time he reached Daqima, I knew he could no longer afford a carriage. With only a donkey, he needed a servant. I only pretended to be able to afford it. Otherwise, anyone would be suspicious of me buying a clever and capable servant with that little money."
The servant saw something from Lin Hai's expression and explained.
"Well, I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious, how did you predict that he would buy a servant?" Since they could still chat for a few more minutes, Lin Hai asked quickly. He had been curious about this question for a long time.
"This Ruan Shihao was pushed out as a scapegoat. You have known this for a long time, my lord. That is why the Cambodian central government will not give him any imperial envoy's honors, and has not even announced the existence of this imperial envoy to the outside world. He has to rely on himself to walk to Mengyang.
There should have been some silver as a gift, but we know that Ruan Shihao had given a lot of gifts over the years in order to climb up the ladder, and these gifts were far from enough with his salary. He was a powerless person before, so he had no chance to be greedy, so he must have borrowed a lot of foreign debts.
When he left the Ministry of Revenue, we sent someone to notify the creditors to block his house and have his wife send someone to collect the money from him. The Left Prime Minister was pressing for payment, and so were the creditors. Ruan Shihao, desperate, had no time to think and could only send most of the money granted by the central government back to repay the debts under the pretext of collecting luggage.
