I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 87

After hearing that Li Ran was taken away, Ji Le became anxious again and ran all the way to the other courtyard.And her beautiful face could not help but break out in cold sweat.

But when she ran to Jishi's other courtyard worriedly, she realized that it was a false alarm. Li Ran was already sitting in the courtyard sipping tea in good condition.

"Hey, Ji... Le'er, why are you here?"

Li Ran opened his mouth and wanted to ask her to sacrifice to a girl, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate. After all, she is now his fiancée, and she has always been called a girl, which seems strange.

"Let's try it? This is the chrysanthemum tea made by Ran, it's very refreshing."

Unexpectedly, not only did Li Ran come back safe and sound, but he was also enjoying tea leisurely in the courtyard.

But where did Ji Le come from to talk about these things at this time, so he rushed forward and hugged Li Ran.And asked with great concern:
"My father didn't do anything to you, did he? What about the people of Qi? Did the envoys from Qi make things difficult for you?"

Because Jixian had never been optimistic about Li Ran before, Ji Le was very worried whether Jixian would also stand by and watch Li Ran this time, so she first asked her if she had done anything to Li Ran.

"Don't worry, your father is fine. How could he make things difficult for my future son-in-law?"

Li Ran said with a smile, Ji Le remembered that she and Li Ran were already engaged. According to Zheng Guo's customs, she couldn't meet Li Ran privately at this time, and her face blushed.

"Hmph... you still know that you are... such a big thing... and you don't tell me..."

At the end of the shy Ji Le's words, her voice became smaller and smaller, so that she couldn't hear it.

However, Li Ran could understand her mood.

"Look at you sweating profusely, come on, sit down and rest for a while."

The two entered the courtyard and sat down, Li Ran hurriedly brewed a cup of chrysanthemum tea for her.

When Li Ran moved into this other courtyard earlier, he found that there were many chrysanthemums growing in the courtyard. Now that the autumn wind has passed, many autumn chrysanthemums are blooming.Li Ran took this opportunity to order people to pick a lot of autumn chrysanthemums to dry and make scented tea.

After entering the tea, Ji Le suddenly felt refreshed, and immediately asked Li Ran the origin of this scented tea in surprise.

Li Ran was also very interested in seeing her, and immediately explained to her in detail the methods of picking and drying scented tea. He never thought that the festival music was really full of interest, and he wanted to try it right when he started.

At this moment, only a very majestic shout came from outside the courtyard.

"fun."

The two turned around and looked around, but they saw that Ji Xian and Ji Wang had entered the gate of the other courtyard together.

"Father? Why are you here too..."

Ji Le, who was not waiting to get married in her boudoir but was running around, was obviously guilty at this time. After all, according to the custom, she could not meet Li Ran privately at this time.

"Hmph! If the old man doesn't come, wouldn't it be telling people to gossip about my sacrifice? Don't hurry up..."

"Old master, Le'er came here in such a hurry because she was worried about her safety. In the final analysis, it's Li Ran's fault. But since she's here now, let her rest for a while before returning."

Li Ran made a sound at the right time and helped Ji Le.

Seeing that Li Ran said so, Jixian couldn't continue to say more.He just stared at Ji Le again, shook his head helplessly, and led Ji Wang into the gate of the courtyard.

After the three of them sat down, Jixian asked directly:
"Ziming, did you tell Doctor Tian of Qi State all the truth?"

This remark was naturally asked by Li Ran.

When everyone heard the sound, they all turned their eyes to Li Ran.

Ji Le didn't know the inside story of the robbing of Qi State's grain truck at this time, and immediately listened with bated breath after hearing this.

Ji Wang, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. It seemed that he had already received a lot of news from Ji Xian.

"The old suzerain didn't speak out, so he didn't dare to tell Doctor Tian everything."

In the end, what Li Ran left for Tian Rangju was just a name.

As for what Tian Rangju can find out based on this name, that is beyond his control.

"Well, that's good. The matter of Li Niu is related to our Ji clan. We should weigh the pros and cons, and we should be more cautious about some things."

Jixian said as if nothing had happened, without the slightest wave on his face.

"What the old suzerain said is very true. This matter is of great importance, but I dare not make decisions without authorization."

It turned out that Li Ran and Ji Xian had already tacitly agreed on this matter.No matter how Shu Niu colluded with the Qi people and participated in this incident of robbing Qi Liang.For Jishi, this matter should not be a big deal after all, because Shuniu is Jishi's eldest son.

Once this matter becomes serious, not only the Ji family will inevitably be involved, but even Zheng Guo will inevitably be blamed by the Qi State.

Therefore, when Li Ran was questioned by Qi Shi in the post, he deliberately took a step to talk to Tian Rangju, and only revealed Shu Niu's name to him.

Moreover, Li Ran also made it very clear that even if this incident was not done by the Qi people, it was inseparable from the Qi people themselves.Therefore, even if Tian Rangju wants to investigate the matter strictly, and pull out the radish with mud at that time, it will still involve Qi Guo himself in the end.

In this way, once people from Qi were really involved, they would naturally not pursue this matter any further.

And this is why Li Ran didn't tell Tian Rangju all his conjectures.

On the one hand, he must make sure that Jishi and Zheng Guo are not involved in this matter.

On the other hand, if you don't talk about some things, it is an attitude in itself-you just take the blame yourself, don't dump it anymore, and everyone will be embarrassed when you dump it.

Of course, Tian Rangju may not be able to see these deep meanings for a while, but he firmly believes that after he reports to Yan Ying, Dr. Yan Ying will definitely be able to enjoy them.

And right now, this matter can be considered to be resolved temporarily. Tian Rangju is worthy of being an upright gentleman, and he did not forcibly bind Li Ran to Qi State indiscriminately.

On the one hand, he has already sent someone to send the news to Qi State in a hurry.And he himself will leave Zhengyi soon and return to Qi State to report the matter to Qi Hou and Yan Ying.

However, internally, as far as the internal affairs of the Jishi were concerned, it did not end completely.

This time, Shu Niu first proposed to transport grain to Weiguo for sale, and then transferred the Jishi's grain, which almost made Jiwang and Jixun trapped and humiliated. If Li Ran hadn't arrived in time, the Jishi clan would have been in a state of panic by now.

As for the robbery of Qi Liang, although Li Ran has no conclusive evidence, whether it is Zichan or Sacrifice, he already knows who did it.

Of course, Li Ran would not intervene in how to deal with the vertical cow. Naturally, it would be best to throw this hot potato to Jixian to solve it himself.

After all, he will soon become the son-in-law of the Ji family, and he can be regarded as half of the Ji family. At that time, everyone will bow their heads and not look up, so there is really no need to be aggressive, so as to avoid embarrassment for both sides.

"In recent years, the old man has indeed indulged the vertical cow."

Ji Xian was silent for a long while, then suddenly sighed, the white hair on the sideburns was very conspicuous.

Time urges people to grow old, and time dyes blue silk.

The older he got, the more powerless he would be to do some things. If it was placed in the prime of life of the sacrificial ancestor, there was no room for negotiation on such matters, and he would definitely deal with them with thunder.

But right now, he can no longer be so decisive.

The importance of Shu Niu to the entire Ji Clan is self-evident. Once he is moved, differences will inevitably arise within the clan.At that time, the whole family will be torn apart, which is of course not the result Ji Xian wants to see.

Therefore, when Li Ran asked him how to deal with Shu Niu, he hesitated.

"Father, brother Meng went too far this time, if you don't punish him severely, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will not be able to sit on the position of suzerain?"

As soon as Ji Xian turned his head, Ji Wang immediately looked panic-stricken, and hastily lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

Seeing this, Ji Le immediately stepped forward to hold Ji's shoulders first, and said softly:

"Father, my daughter thinks that although brother Meng has gone too far, we are a family after all. If father disciplines me more in the future, I think brother Meng will definitely change his past."

"Well, look at your sister, Le'er knows the general idea."

Hearing this, Ji Xian finally nodded in relief.

Seeing this, Li Ran on the side exchanged glances with Ji Le, and couldn't help but smile at each other knowingly.
