I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 102
Speaking of Li Ran, in fact, Hanhu had heard Zichan talk about it a long time ago.

The last time Li Ran went to Weiguo alone, he rescued Jishi and Zhengguo from danger, which can be regarded as a great contribution.Hanhu originally wanted to reward him, but he was unable to realize it only because of strong opposition from Shangqing Feng Duan Fengboshi.

But this time, since Li Ran was already in the catastrophe of Zhengyi, it was absolutely right to ask Li Ran so many questions, in Han Hu's opinion.

Zichan knew it well, so after leaving Han's mansion, he immediately sent someone to call Li Ran again.

He told Li Ran about today's court meeting in advance, and bluntly said that Zheng Yi's ban may last for a while.

For this matter, he seemed a little ashamed.After all, as the Minister of State, he should have tried to argue for it again.

But I didn't expect that I was still restrained by a group of officials above the court, so that the important event here was delayed.

At least in this matter, he failed to show the courage he should have as the secretary of state.

"Hehe, doctor, don't blame yourself too much. To tell the truth from the doctor, in fact, this has been expected for a long time."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Zichan was startled when he heard the sound, looked at him in surprise and asked.

I just heard Li Ran continue to say:
"Although the source of the disease has been suppressed by us now, and the situation is gradually improving. But for these high officials and nobles, Zhengyi is still not a safe place at this time."

"They don't know the truth here, and it's human nature to cherish their lives to protect themselves. Besides, these people's fields and houses are all in the suburbs. If the disease in the city spreads, how can they be willing?"

After hearing this, Zichan kept nodding his head and said:

"Well, the calculation here is indeed consistent with the scene during the court meeting today."

"However, there is another reason for this."

"Oh? What about the second one?"

Zichan asked suspiciously.Then, Li Ran laughed, and said again:

"Besides, since someone did this on purpose, then the person behind the scenes will not let it go so easily. Hearing that the doctor mentioned Doctor Zixi just now, I think this person probably has something to do with that Gongsun Duan. "(Si Hei, styled Zibai)

"In this matter, the more noble they are, the more they can disturb the audience, and they can form gangs to deal with the doctor. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the doctor for the time being, and there is no need to feel remorse."

In fact, Li Ran had already noticed it when he caught the poisoner for the first time.

It's just that he didn't get the confession of the poisoner at that time, so his doubts could only be doubts.

Now, with the gradual improvement of the disease, Zheng Guo's political discussion above the court is very critical.

Because this can also give Li Ran more information, allowing him to see the situation in front of him more clearly.

"Well, what Ziming said is indeed true!"

"If it wasn't for Ziming's help this time, I wouldn't know how to deal with this situation. After this matter is over, I will definitely recommend an official position for Ziming, and I ask Ziming not to decline at that time!"

Perhaps it was because of the authorities' obsession, but after listening to Li Ran's analysis, Zichan was immediately relaxed and happy.Apart from praising Li Ran's wisdom, he also hastily expressed his sincerity in wanting to recruit Li Ran.

But who knows that Li Ran got up and bowed and said:

"Li Ran's assistance to the doctor is definitely not for the purpose of seeking an official position, and I ask the doctor to learn from it."

"Ziming, there is no one else here, so it doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

"The matter is settled so, there is no need to make excuses."

"By the way, after today's court meeting, Benqing and Dangguo also inquired about the matter on the sidelines. Once the matter is verified to be true, we will always have to ask for an explanation. Ziming, what do you think?"

Zichan knew what Li Ran was thinking, so he quickly changed the subject.

But when Li Ran heard the sound, he frowned.

In fact, in this matter, the most difficult thing to solve is the last step.

After all, it is not easy to catch a thief.What's more, you still want to catch the person behind the scenes?

Li Ran thought for a while, then he looked up at Zichan and said:
"However, I heard that Doctor Boshi has been seriously ill recently, why don't you take this opportunity to visit him?"

"Oh?"

Zichan looked slightly startled, and instantly understood what he said.

……

The next day, Feng's mansion.

When Feng Duan heard that Zichan came to visit, he immediately supported his already immobile body, and with the help of his servants, trembling, he stumbled to the gate to welcome him.

Seeing such a solemn welcome, Rao Zichan couldn't help but think to himself: This Feng Duan really can act!

"Oh, my brother is so seriously ill, but he still wants to come to greet him personally. It's really frustrating!"

"Quick, quick, let's go inside the house now. Don't be surprised by the wind outside."

Zichan also very cooperatively stepped forward to support Feng Duan's arm, and the two walked into the inner hall side by side.

"Hey... Brother Zichan...you don't know...my illness came on suddenly, on the first day I got sick, and on the second day... I became like this...It's really not a teenager who doesn't know it..."

Old is old, and some things are destined to be unchangeable.

However, Zichan agrees with his statement that "people are not young and do not know themselves".

Zichan looked at his constant "coughing" and his old face that alternated between red and pale, and couldn't help thinking: Haha, you say you don't know yourself?I think you understand better than anyone else.

After sitting down, Zichan inquired about his condition, and after confirming that it was not caused by illness, he sighed:

"Hey... During the few days when Brother Boshi was away, the big and small things in this city kept Guoqiao busy." (Guoqiao: Zichan, Guoshi, Mingqiao)
"Brother Boshi has been recuperating in the manor these few days, have you heard anything?"

"Oh? Cough...cough...I don't know what Zichan Xiandi said?"

Feng Duan rested for a while before he recovered, but his breathing was still heavy, and his voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the city that this disease is man-made, and the target is directed at Brother Boshi..."

"Ridiculous! Cough... it's absolutely ridiculous!"

Before Zichan finished speaking, Feng Duan immediately got up and yelled loudly at the table, the appearance of being filled with righteous indignation and fury can be described as lifelike.

"Cough cough cough..."

But the next moment, he "coughed" violently again, until his old face was turned into a purple sauce, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing him in such pain, Zichan immediately comforted him:
"Oh, why is brother so angry? How can I not know that this is a rumor?"

"It's just like the rumors in the city recently, everyone from top to bottom is accusing Qiao of being incompetent in protecting the country, which led to the tragic death of the people. But has Qiao ever been so angry?...Don't be angry, don't be angry, but it's just petty. How can we get angry because of such rumors?"

While talking, Zichan took ginger soup from the servant and handed it to Feng Duan to swallow.

After Feng Duan's breathing became smoother, he continued:
"Brother Boshi, since you are sick, don't worry too much about the court affairs. I will take care of everything, so you can rest assured."

But Feng Duan waved his hand again, and said helplessly:
"The rumors are so turbulent, how can I not listen to them, and turn a blind eye?"

"Brother Zichan, you don't need to be comforted by this matter, I will investigate to the end, and I will find out this person who is trying to trap me behind the scenes!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing again, and Rao Shi Zichan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Oh, why are you bothering?"

"Since Qiao is the ruling minister, how can Xiao Xiaoxiao be allowed to act recklessly? Don't worry, in a few days, when the disease in the city is relieved, I will immediately start investigating this matter, and I will give Brother Boshi justice. !"

Zichan's words are sonorous, forceful, and resounding, and they are born of righteousness, which makes them even more glorious and majestic.

Feng Duan was startled when he saw this, and immediately stood up slightly when he was lying on his side, and cupped his hands to thank:

"Well, since that's the case, Brother Yu is very grateful."

But when he spoke, his gaze involuntarily became a little flickering. Although it was subtle, it couldn't escape Zichan's eyes.
