I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 373
It can be said that Jishi's catastrophe is as deep as the sea.

In fact, Li Ran would never let Ji Sun Yiru and the others go easily, even if Ji Le was not mentioned.

But Li Ran also never stopped thinking that Ji Le would only be swallowed by hatred in the future, he still wanted Ji Le to return to the happiness of the past.

So what Li Ran hopes is for Ji Le to let go of his obsession with this hatred sooner.

It's all about protection.

Fortunately, after Ji Le briefly mentioned hatred, she also knew what Li Ran was worried about for her. In addition, she saw the child's unrestrained energy, so she gradually stopped thinking about revenge, and her emotions became more and more disturbed. Naturally, it eased a lot.

At least, on the surface, this is indeed the case.

And these days, Li Ran is almost inseparable from Ji Le's side.When the child is asleep, the two will be on the original golf course, under the corridor along the side, looking at the starry sky, enjoying the unique tranquility that only belongs to the two of them.

Although Li Ran has been accompanying Ji Le all the time, he has not forgotten half of Ji's vengeance.

He secretly ordered Xiaoyi to send people to the vicinity of Yunyi to investigate Lu Houchou's whereabouts, and hoped to get in touch with Uncle Sun secretly.

In any case, Lu Houchou was forced into exile by Jisun Yiru, no matter whether he can make a comeback, as long as Luhouchou is still alive, it will be Jisun Yiru's confidant's serious trouble.

Therefore, Li Ran wants to find Lu Houchou, and then make calculations.

After all, since Ji Sun Yiru is in charge of the current state of Lu, it is obvious that it is not so easy for him to seek revenge rashly.

On this day, Li Ran and Ji Le were playing on the golf course.As Ji Le was ill, Li Ran only asked her to try to play with the short stick.And that kind of vigorous swing, but she absolutely dare not let her try it.

At this moment, the two are on the putting green, and Ji Le is holding on to the club, but he has been aiming for a long time, and he still refuses to put down the club.

Seeing this, Li Ran felt uncomfortable just thinking of Ji Le, so he hugged Ji Le from behind, held her little hand in both hands, and put it like a putter.

"What's wrong with Le'er? Is there any discomfort?"

"Not really, it's just that Le'er suddenly remembered the family feud again. This matter...I'm afraid that besides Ji Sun Yiru, Brother Meng should also be involved, and he has managed a lot for those rebellious officials and thieves, right?"

Li Ran was slightly taken aback, Ji Le had already noticed the hostility towards Shu Niu's elder brother.

It's just that, although the purpose of erecting the cow was to bring harm to the Zheng State, Zichan looked at Jixian's face and only asked for him to be expelled from the Jishi clan.

As for Ji Le, because he was Brother Meng, he had some sympathy for him.

However, who would have thought that this vertical bull would be so unrepentant and make waves in the country of Lu.

When he returned to Zheng, he was close to the fire in Zhengyi. In addition, after the fire in Zhengyi, he even helped the emperor to abuse him and sacrificed his clan for disaster.Most of the elders in many ethnic groups died because of the persecution.

And for a while, he himself became the person in charge of Jishi with Feng Duan's acquiescence, so if he said that this matter had nothing to do with him, who would believe it?

What Shu Niu did was too much, how could Ji Le spare him?

"My husband will investigate this matter clearly, Le'er, don't worry too much, it will hurt your nerves to be careful. As for the matter of erecting a cow, my husband will definitely make it clear!"

Ji Le sighed slightly:

"Hey... How can Le'er not think about it? In the past few days, Le'er has always dreamed of a fire in her sleep and woke up suddenly, but after waking up, she was not too frightened just because she found you by her side. Father and brother Le'er dare not forget the enmity between the three of them!"

"Le'er suffered... This is also my husband's responsibility. When the time comes, I, Li Ran, will definitely give Le'er an explanation!"

After listening to the sacrificial music, she gently leaned against Li Ran's arms, and her long hair gently rubbed against Li Ran's chin.

The two of them were holding on to this trace of warmth, but they saw that Fan Li seemed to be hesitant, wandering around the golf course for a while, but still came over.

After all, golf greens are relatively flat, so Li Ran saw Fan Li approaching with a serious expression at a glance.

He knew that something serious must have happened, so he wanted to temporarily separate from Ji Le, but Ji Le kept his mind steady at this time, and pushed out gently with one shot, and the ball went straight into the hole.

While Jiyue was cheering and jumping for joy, he coughed suddenly.

Seeing this, Li Ran was about to step forward to caress his back.

At this time Fan Li approached, and cupped his hands and said:

"Sir! Doctor Zichan...he passed away this morning!..."

While stroking Ji Le's back, Li Ran couldn't help being startled when he heard this startling remark.

Although he was more or less prepared for this matter.However, when this moment really came, his heart was also extremely heavy, and a sense of grief also emerged spontaneously.

Ji Le turned around, saw Li Ran's appearance, and reached out to hold his big hand.

"Of course, you can go. Doctor Zichan has treated my family with great kindness, but Le'er is unable to send him off right now. Husband must bring Le'er's heart with him!"

Li Ran nodded and asked Fan Li to go back with Ji Le, while he walked out directly and called Sun Wu, who had known the news a long time ago and was crying right now.

Li Ran stepped forward and patted Sun Wu on the shoulder:

"Let's go, let's go to see the childbirth doctor for the last time together!"

Sun Wu wiped away his tears, and immediately arranged a carriage to enter the city with Li Ran.

At this moment, heavy snow suddenly fell like goose feathers, adding a bit of sadness to the slightly yellowish sky. Seeing such a situation, Li Ran also fell into deep thought.

As soon as I entered Zhengyi, I saw that many houses had hung black cloths on the doorsteps to express their condolences.

And along the street, there were many people who cried bitterly there, and wailed loudly:

"I have children, and I will teach them. I have fields, and I will breed them. If I die, whoever will inherit them!"

The whole Zhengyi was immersed in the atmosphere of the funeral, desolate and tragic.

Arriving at Zichan's mansion, seeing inside and out, all the people were dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and they were all crying inside.

Li Ran and Sun Wu stepped in and came to the mourning hall. At this moment, Zichan's son Guoshen was kneeling on the ground, welcoming the guests from all directions with a sad face.

Li Ran and Sun Wu saluted Zichan's body, and then the State Counselor returned the salute, and then they each took out a piece of silk cloth and burned it.

At this time, when mourning the dead, most of them put food, and sent clothes or a piece of cloth to burn to express their condolences. Li Ran then came to Zichan's body and burst into tears:

"I used to go, Yangliu Yiyi. Now I come to think, rain and snow. The road is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don't know I am sad!"

Li Ran couldn't help shouting out this line from the Book of Songs, the meaning of which is full of sadness and sorrow, who will understand my sorrow!

It wasn't until Zichan's relatives came to persuade him that Li Ran stopped crying, but the tears continued to flow down.

Li Ran grieved for a moment and calmed down a little, only then did he notice that there was no coffin on the mourning hall at this moment!

So, Li Ran came to Guoshen again, and Guoshen was wiping tears secretly.

"Zi Si, why is there no coffin of your father in the mourning hall?" (Guo Shen, Zi Si)
When Guoshen heard this, he choked up and said:

"My father told me repeatedly before his death that care should not be extravagant and wasteful. After his death, he only kept everything simple. And the coffin, because it is so shabby, cannot see people. After all, it is not in line with the etiquette, so it can only be used when encoffining. ..."

Zichan has always been honest and honest, and his family does not have the financial resources to be buried in accordance with today's funeral rites.

And Zheng Boning was also negligent for a while, he probably didn't expect that Zichan, who had been in power for more than ten years, would not even be able to buy a decent coffin!

Li Ranzheng felt very embarrassed, and wanted to contribute money to help as a priest, but he couldn't let Zichan go away in such a poor way.

But at this moment, there was a noise outside the door, and the National Counselor hurried out to check. Li Ran and Sun Wu followed closely behind, and saw many people pouring in.It turned out that they also knew that Zichan's funeral was too simple, so they came here with money and jewelry, wanting to help the government.

Seeing such a situation, Guo Jian also bowed deeply to everyone, and said loudly:

"Chen Xin accepts everyone's wishes, but before his death, my father made a special statement that he would not take a single penny from the people! Can you dare not go against my father's last wish, please don't do that!"

When the common people heard Guo Shen's words, they didn't know what to do for a while, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hearing this, Li Ran also knew that he wanted to help them as a charitable act, but it might not be that simple. When he recalled Zichan's life, he couldn't help but feel even more desolate in his heart.
