I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 83 is just a scapegoat
Shu Niu, who had exhausted his tricks, was naturally unwilling to fail, and finally swung the last heavy punch that followed.

"Sir, what do you mean, the robbing of the grain truck of Qi State was also to set the blame on Mr.?"

After hearing what Li Ran said so much, Sun Wu took it for granted.

"Well, that's exactly it."

This is actually not difficult to understand, because if in this whole matter, the goal that Shu Niu most wanted to achieve was to get rid of Li Ran, then seeing the bankruptcy and failure of the previous plan, he could only use this Chance to the last fight.

And it was his move that allowed Li Ran to completely confirm some kind of internal connection between Shu Niu and Qi State.

"At the beginning, it was up to me to ask Doctor Uncle Xiang about his plan. It is reasonable for me and Doctor Uncle Xiang to know about this matter. Even Doctor Uncle Sun of Lu State didn't know about it. Therefore, the only person who could leak this matter can only be It's Qi State."

"If Shuniu had not colluded with Qi State, I am afraid that he would not be able to find out such a secret matter. You must know that Qi State's aid to Wei State's grain is the result of secret negotiations between Jin State and Qi State. Jin State does not want to lose its overlord Therefore, I sent Uncle Xiang Dafu to enter Qi to persuade the Marquis of Qi in secret."

"But for some reason, this matter was still known to Shu Niu who was far away in Zheng State. This can further explain that Qi State also has his minions. Or... this Shu Niu itself was planted in Zheng State minions!"

"And when this series of plans all ended in bankruptcy, then the only way for Shu Niu to frame me is to play tricks on Qi's grain truck."

In fact, Li Ran also thought for a while, could it be that Uncle Xiang leaked the news?

However, based on his understanding of Shu Xiang and his usual style, this kind of thing is definitely not something he can do.

So the final object of suspicion can only be the vertical bull.

"The grain carts of Qi State?..."

He can naturally think about the news that Owl Wing inquired about immediately.

"Shu Niu, if he wants to do this, it is indeed very possible. However, there is still a question here. That is, how can he blame Mr. for doing so? After all, it is tens of thousands of shi's grain , who wouldn't be jealous? Why is Mr. the only one who is suspected of this?"

"Well, Xiaoyi's question is very good, but at present we don't know who is responsible for the robbing of the Qi State grain truck this time, but..."

"I think the person who came in from the outside in a while can give us an answer."

After Li Ran finished speaking, he led everyone to the courtyard and waited, as if he was waiting for someone...

Sun Wu, Chu Dang, and Xiaoyi didn't know what happened, so they just waited behind Li Ran.

Sure enough, not long after, the servants in the courtyard came to report in a hurry, saying that the old suzerain and doctor Zichan had come to pay a visit.

"Hehe, look, isn't this coming?"

As soon as the words fell, Jixian and Zichan came side by side, both of them had a look of worry on their faces, obviously they had also received the news that the grain truck of Qi State had been robbed.

When the two entered the courtyard, Li Ran was about to meet the ceremony, but the sacrificial priest waved his sleeves and said:
"No need."

It could be seen that Jixian was a little angry, and his brows were full of anger.

"Doctor Zichan?"

"Oh, Ziming, what news have you heard?"

Zichan was still very polite, and only asked after sitting down.

Li Ran nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing that Li Ran already knew about it, Zichan went straight to the point and said:
"The State of Qi has sent envoys to ask Zheng State to hand you over to them. But I think there must be something strange about this matter, so I came here to ask the reason, and to ask you what is the next step?" What's your plan?"

His tone sounded very peaceful, without any waves.

But after his words fell, Sun Wudun, who was standing by the side, was very anxious, and couldn't help saying anxiously:

"Doctor Zichan..."

"Benqing is now interrogating your master!"

No one expected that Zichan, who is always gentle and elegant, would suddenly become angry.

As soon as Sun Wu's words were out of his mouth, Zichan looked at him sharply, and blocked the second half of Sun Wu's words.

It seemed that this matter was really serious, even to the point where even his Zichan had to deal with it himself.

Because it is obvious that if this matter is not handled properly, Zheng Guo will be caught in another turmoil.

Zichan probably never imagined in his dreams that he had done a righteous deed out of benevolence, but now he has caused so many troubles for no reason.

"The doctor is referring to the robbery of Qi State's grain truck?"

In the huge courtyard, Li Ran still maintained his usual calm and breezy expression, and did not change in any way due to his anger and resentment.

He is like an outsider, always facing it with the calmest attitude.

"Exactly."

"The Qi State has now obtained evidence that the warriors who robbed the grain carts had the word 'sheep tongue' engraved on their armor and weapons. The leader is called 'Lord Li'."

"Earlier, you said that you were the one who did the Qi State's grain transportation to help the country. Now that the Qi State's grain trucks have been robbed, the evidence is so convincing. Now the envoys of the Qi State have arrived in Zhengyi, and they want us to give them A statement."

While talking, Zichan calmed down again, and he told Li Ran all the news he already knew without reservation.

Jixian on the side heard the sound, and looked at him intently, and the annoyance between his brows gradually turned into worry.

In fact, no matter whether it was Jixian or Zichan, they all knew that it was impossible for Li Ran to rob Qi's grain carts.

It's just that what Zichan needs to consider is the relationship between the state of Zheng and the state of Qi, and what Ji must first consider is the honor, disgrace, and safety of the entire Ji clan.

Therefore, they can't give Li Ran more help in this matter, and Li Ran needs to explain everything by himself.

What Zichan said just now was not so much a confrontation with Li Ran, as it was a matter of telling Li Ran all the details of this matter, and then letting Li Ran find out the flaws in it by himself.

The inscriptions on the armor, the titles of the warriors to their leaders, these are all solid testimony, Qi Guo took this set of things to Zheng Guo to ask for Li Ran, what can Zheng Guo do?In the end, it still depends on how Li Ran develops himself.

"By the way, let me tell you one more thing. The State of Qi has sent people to the State of Jin. Doctor Sheep Tongue has categorically denied the matter. Naturally, the State of Qi has nothing to do with him, so..."

"So Qi Guo can only find out and vent his anger."

Li Ran spread his hands, but smiled.

That's right, when Qi Guo couldn't do anything about it, they could only vent their anger on Li Ran.

The grain truck was robbed, and tens of thousands of shi of grain disappeared. No matter who leaked the news, no matter who did it, there must be someone to take the blame, and there must be someone to let the whole country vent their anger.

This person is now Li Ran.

And this is exactly what Li Ran didn't mention just now, why "he" was framed, and it would definitely not be the reason for other people.
