I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 114 The wise man is ruthless

Li Ran walked out of the gate of the sacrifice family. Now the sky in Zhengyi is clear, and the bustling flow of people is as usual.

Obviously, although painful experiences are unforgettable for everyone, people are forgetful after all.

Li Ran came to Zichan Mansion again, tidied up his clothes, and then asked to see him.

"Yo, Ziming finished it so soon?"

Zichan was well aware of his reason for coming, so he immediately asked the question jokingly.

Li Ran bowed and bowed, his face extremely calm:
"If you fail to fulfill the doctor's entrustment, please ask the doctor to punish you."

He knew that Zichan must get rid of Shuniu this time.But he still failed to persuade Jixian, and instead came to intercede for Shu Niu. Isn't this a disappointment to Zichan's high hopes?
Unexpectedly, Zichan just smiled when he heard the sound, and then motioned Li Ran to sit down.

After being able to retreat from the left and right servants, Zichan looked at Li Ran with a smile on his face and said:
"Hehe, it seems that Ziming has high ambitions. Could it be that he wants to take over Jishi?"

As soon as these words came out, even Li Ran couldn't help being shocked, his face was full of astonishment.

"Don't look at Qiao like that. Since Qiao gave you the opportunity to go back and persuade the old suzerain, you must have been prepared."

"After all, Ji Lao and Shu Niu are father and son, who has no heart to protect the calf? Therefore, it is expected that Ji Lao will not easily hand over Shu Niu to the government. But if he comes to intercede in person, it is bound to It will implicate the Ji clan again."

"After all, even if Benqing is putting a bull in the face of the Ji clan's meritorious service to the country, thinking about it in the future, he will never think so highly of the Ji clan again."

"And now you go and come back to intercede for Shu Niu. Then, even if you don't want to look at Jishi's face, you should also look at Ziming for the credit you have made these days."

"This old man of yours, hehe, is also very shrewd."

After Zichan finished speaking, there was a mysterious smile on his face.

In fact, he had expected that Jixian would not hand over the vertical bull.

And he asked Li Ran to go back to discuss with Jixian, naturally hoping that there would be some room for buffering.

After all, if he sent someone, or came to the Ji family to ask for someone in person, there would be no room for accommodation even if Ji Xian tried to protect his shortcomings.

Once the matter is brought to the table, there are not many opportunities for mediation.

So, when he saw Li Ran go and come back at this moment, how could he not know that Li Ran was interceding for Shu Niu?

As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face, you must also look at the Buddha's face. Now in Li Ran's face, how can Zi Chan not sell his favor and give Shu Niu a way to survive?
And this is the deep meaning of his sentence: "take over and sacrifice the family".

You must know that even this time he is willing to give Jishi a chance.But if the Ji family wants to continue to get the care of the officials, or even Zichan, it will definitely not be as easy as it used to be.

Originally, Shu Niu was the most likely to inherit the position of suzerain among the children of Ji Clan, but once Shu Niu fell, the position of suzerain of Ji Clan, no doubt, could only be taken by those two incompetent people. The "legal son" inherited.

But the two prostitutes who sacrificed first, in the final analysis, are difficult to take on the big responsibility.Therefore, the post of "house steward" is particularly important.

From Zichan's point of view, Li Ran is naturally the important task of leading the "housekeeper" inside and outside the Ji clan.

At that time, Li Ran will become an official in the name of Jishi's housekeeper and as a "pedestrian". With this dual identity, he will become the de facto leader of the Jishi clan.

Only in this way can he have the confidence to continue to rely heavily on and take care of Jishi as before.

And the reason why he asked Li Ran in a questioning tone if he would formally take over the Jishi was actually asking Li Ran in disguise if he was ready.

Once Li Ran is ready, what he will face will no longer be the surging tide in the dark, but the shadow of swords and swords on the bright side.

"You intercede for Shu Niu. Once it is done, your father-in-law will definitely regard you as the savior of Jishi. How can he not rely on you so much in the future?"

"In the future, if you can become the person in charge of Jishi, then you will be a good person, and you will be able to rely on me in the future. Is this a happy event?"

Zichan naturally hopes that Jishi's future can keep pace with his own.

In these years, he had used Jishi to do things for him, and he had always maintained a good understanding with Jixian.Putting Li Ran in the position now will only make him more handy. Of course, Li Ran will also be able to gain a firm foothold in the court and establish his own power.

"This...but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Dr. Zichan..."

As soon as Zichan said this, Li Ran didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Sacrificing the family to Li Ran really has the grace to save his life, and his wife and Ran have deep affection and righteousness. If you take advantage of others' danger to kill his family property, this is really not what a gentleman would do."

In fact, Li Ran really didn't think about it. After all, to him, Jixian not only has the name of Weng and son-in-law, but also has the reality of saving lives.

What's more, all Li Ran's previous plans were carried out in a righteous manner.What he did was "inspired by benevolence and righteousness".

Jishi has kindness to himself, especially the relationship between him and Ji Le, which can be regarded as "benevolence".

Zichan dedicated himself to serving the country and the people, promoting the New Deal, and for this reason he did not hesitate to place himself on the opposite side of the entire temple, which can be called "righteousness".

It is only natural for Li Ran to offer advice and suggestions for benevolence and righteousness, but how can he be so moved?
"However, please rest assured, doctor, Li Ran will definitely live up to the doctor's expectations in the future, and Li Ran can be the guarantee for the Ji clan, and there will never be another "vertical cow" in the future."

Li Ran's words can be regarded as a reassurance for Zi Chan.Although Jishi disappointed him very much this time, fortunately, Li Ran was finally willing to take responsibility.

Moreover, since Li Ran has already said so, if he is obsessed with letting Li Ran be in charge of the Jishi, it will appear that he is a little unreasonable.

"Well, since that's the case, this matter can be discussed later. Now Shu Niu can avoid death, but I think that he can't stay in Zheng Guo anymore."

After thinking about it for a while, Zichan began to change the subject.

The most important thing now is to deal with the vertical cattle first.And now Zichan's meaning is also very clear, as long as Jishi drives Shuniu out of the house, then this matter will be over.

But how smart Li Ran is, how could he not have imagined that Jishi's expulsion of Shu Niu from the house was almost equivalent to announcing his death sentence?

After all, once Shu Niu left the protection of Jishi, he was nothing, even if he had some friendship with dignitaries and nobles in various vassal states.

But how much effect can a vertical cow who has lost his status play in the eyes of these dignitaries and nobles?
A useless person who knows so many inside stories.Even if Zichan doesn't kill him, there are plenty of people who want to kill him.

Therefore, the superficial childbirth exonerated the death penalty of the vertical cow, but in fact it was still pressed on the chopping block.

No one can take this piece of fish away!

Li Ran was startled for the first time. He looked at Zichan in amazement, and there was a moment of fear in his eyes.

This man who has been the ruling minister of Zheng Guo for decades, this middle-aged man who has always looked modest and modest, is so decisive once he gets ruthless.

"No, please obey the doctor's orders."

Now Li Ran had no choice but to nod in agreement, because he knew that even if he had made contributions to Zheng Guo, he couldn't continue to test this matter.

Everyone has a bottom line, and Zichan's bottom line is very simple.

Punish the vertical bull!Use it as an example!
At the same time, it also means that his benevolence towards Feng Duan and Si Hei has come to an end!
