When Ji Xian made it clear that he wanted to know the cause and effect of everything, Li Ran was now like an arrow on the string and had to shoot.
What's more, this is also what Zichan expects.
After much thought, he decided to start from the beginning when he first came to visit the family.
"I would like to ask my father-in-law, when my son-in-law came to visit the family for the first time, he actually met Shu Niu for the first time. But did my father-in-law feel that Brother Meng's attitude towards his son-in-law at that time was...
Very weird?"
"Oh? Really? This old man really doesn't know how weird it is?"
When Ji Xian heard Li Ran mention raising a cow, his face suddenly became serious.
"Brother Meng seemed to have known for a long time that his son-in-law was coming to Zheng. He showed strong hostility when he met his son-in-law for the first time. Isn't it strange?"
"At first, my son-in-law didn't know why he was like this. It wasn't until he was on the way to Weiguo with grain supplies that he finally understood."
Memories filled Li Ran's eyes.
"Go on."
When Ji heard this first, he couldn't help but sit upright.
Then, I heard Li Ran continue to say:
"Perhaps in order to deal with his son-in-law, Shu Niu first got the exact information from Qi State, and learned that Qi State had agreed to the plan to transport grain to help the country, and all this was done by his son-in-law behind the scenes.
idea."
"So, in order to tie his son-in-law to the opposite side of the Ji family, he suggested to his father-in-law that he could raise a batch of grain and transport it to Weiguo for sale, and then later inform his son-in-law of the Qi State's relief to Weiguo.
He married his father-in-law. From this, an illusion was created in terms of time."
"In this case, wouldn't my son-in-law directly become the enemy of the Ji family? Fortunately, my father-in-law was not a small person at that time. Otherwise, this little life would have been handed over to the people who came to Zheng Guo.
On the way."
After saying that, Li Ran looked at Ji Le with gratitude. Obviously, the whole thing was ultimately due to Ji Le's help. But Ji Le just nodded slightly and didn't say anything. p>
On the contrary, Ji first heard the sound and nodded:
"Yes."
"At that time, I really believed it, thinking that you wanted to deal with me, Jishi."
Then, Li Ran continued:
"It's a pity that my son-in-law proved his innocence after he came to Zheng State."
"Not only that, my son-in-law also persuaded his father-in-law in front of Dr. Zichan, so that his father-in-law changed his original intention of selling grain for business and instead donated it, which completely ruined Brother Meng's plan."
"For this reason, Brother Meng had to make adjustments, which led to the exchange of grain in the suburbs later."
At this point, Li Ran paused and looked at Ji Xian.
"He only covered the grain cart that I used to sacrifice my family with a layer of grain, and the rest underneath was replaced with stones and firewood.
Once this kind of grain truck arrives at the Wei Kingdom, there is no doubt that Brother Zhong and his uncle will fall directly into the hands of the Wei people. If they are not handled properly and they suffer, then I am afraid that my family's great business will be ruined.
I can only leave it to Brother Meng."
"And you, Ziming, are the ones who persuaded me to change from selling grain to donating grain. Therefore, if something goes wrong in this matter, you will be blamed!"
Ji Xian was not stupid. He followed Li Ran's words and told all the possible situations that might happen next.
"Yes, but what Brother Meng didn't expect was that my husband and daughter discovered something was wrong with the grain truck first, so we bought grain and a horse vehicle overnight, and hurriedly escorted it to Weiguo, and then stopped
The incident worsened."
Ji Xian nodded when he heard the sound, looked at Li Ran and said:
"That's true. Just keep talking."
I saw that Ji Xian's face, which was originally a bit solemn, has now turned livid.
"No."
Li Ran bowed and responded, then continued:
"Actually, my son-in-law has something that I haven't mentioned to my father-in-law before. On the way to Weiguo, my son-in-law was actually attacked by a group of gangsters on the way. They kept claiming that they were from the Ji clan of Lu State.
They came, but the leader clearly has an accent from Qi."
"Although my son-in-law has never been to the state of Qi, he was in the state of Lu at that time. He saw quite a few business travelers from Qi."
"My son-in-law does not dare to arbitrarily infer whether these thieves are really sent by the Ji family, but since Qi people are involved, there is no doubt that Qi people are an important link behind the whole incident." "My son-in-law has just said that if Shu Niu had not colluded with the Qi people, he would not have been able to find out that the Qi people were planning to transport grain. And among the killers sent by the Ji family, the Qi people also appeared.
Can the son-in-law judge based on this that it is entirely possible that Shu Niu, Qi Ren, and the Ji family are colluding with each other?"
"Because only in this way can the subsequent robbery of Qi's grain truck make sense."
In fact, when things have progressed to this point, Li Ran has already understood the entire plan of Shu Niu.
After listening to the sacrifice first, he couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"You're saying that Shu Niu knew the itinerary of Qi Ren's grain truck just because he colluded with Qi Ren? Then he robbed Qi Ren on the way and put the blame on you?"
"There are by no means a few people in the world who hate their son-in-law, and there are also two or three who want to put their son-in-law to death. But among them, I am afraid that only one can know the itinerary of Qi's grain truck and use it to set the situation from the beginning.
It’s just Brother Meng.”
"As for Brother Meng, after he failed in his attempt to assassinate his son-in-law, he immediately thought of robbing Qi's grain carts in an attempt to put the blame on me."
"Fortunately, Dr. Yan, who is far away in Qi State, is not an unreasonable person. He is well aware that there are many doubts behind this matter."
"That's why the Qi State sent Dr. Tian Rangju, who is world-famous for his uprightness, to come to punish him. In fact, from the beginning, Dr. Tian did not believe that Li Ran was responsible for this matter. What's more, this matter
If we really want to pursue the investigation, Qi Ren himself will be involved in a lot, so in the end we will have to let it go."
"At this point, Brother Meng was at the end of his rope. So he was able to calm down for a long time until the plague broke out in the city."
Obviously, Li Ran had not finished what he said, and when he mentioned this matter, Ji Xian's face obviously changed again, from green to white. He was obviously even more at a loss.
But he didn't say anything to stop Li Ran from talking.
"My father-in-law must have already had some suspicions in his heart. This illness is actually caused by man-made diseases!"
Li Ran looked at him and asked tentatively.
Ji Xian nodded without hesitation, but did not say anything.
"This is indeed the case. This matter was indeed caused by man-made poisoning, and the mastermind has a considerable background."
"You mean? This matter... Shu Niu was also involved?"
Ji Xian suddenly asked.
Li Ran immediately shook his head and said:
"My son-in-law doesn't know."
"But after the son-in-law captured the poisoner for the first time, Sun Wu and Chu Dang placed him in the firewood shed of another courtyard, and then went to the hospital to ask the son-in-law to return in about a cup of tea.
, the person who poisoned him has been strangled to death."
"And those who were guarding the other courtyard at that time were the guards of the Ji clan."
"My son-in-law actually doesn't know whether these guards killed the poisoner, but even if they didn't, I'm afraid some of them colluded with outsiders."
"That's why my son-in-law asked Le'er to send these guards back quickly."
This is where Ji Xian discovered something was wrong.
But he still doesn't understand:
"But even so, how can you be sure that Shu Niu is secretly colluding with the bad guys?"
Yes, even if there is indeed a spy among those guards, how can we prove that the spy is sent by the Cowherd?
