When Li Ran saw Owl Wings looking like this, he knew something must have happened.
Owl Wing has been communicating with merchants in the past few days, so his information is the most sensitive.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
Seeing him running in sweating profusely, Li Ran suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Master, there is news from the Wei State. The grain truck transported by the Qi State to the Wei State was... robbed by the Jin gangsters at the border of the Wei State!"
Owl Yi's voice was obviously trembling, and Li Ran, Sun Wu, and Chu Dang in the courtyard could clearly hear it.
"Haha, as expected."
Li Ran calmed down for a moment and then said to himself thoughtfully.
"Why are you panicking? Their food has been taken away, what do they do to us?"
Among the four people present, only Chu Dang had no feelings about this matter.
It’s not his fault. After all, his brain circuit has always been straight forward and does not know how to turn around. Naturally, he could not imagine the deeper impact of this incident.
"Shu Niu and Qi Guo are indeed secretly colluding!"
When Li Ran heard the news, he immediately came to a conclusion.
In fact, Li Ran had already expected this.
When he was delivering grain to Qi E in the capital of Wei State, he had reminded Qi E, the official of Wei State, that the problem with the grain truck on his side of Zheng State was a minor matter. After all, Li Ran could help take care of it.
But once there is a problem with Qi's grain truck, it will be troublesome.
Afterwards, they returned to Zhengyi, but they never received any news from Weiguo. Li Ran originally thought that he might have guessed wrong.
But I didn’t expect that this would happen after all.
"Sir, do these two things... have anything to do with each other?"
Chu Dang scratched his head, his fleshy face full of innocence.
There is a problem with the grain team of Qi State. What does it have to do with Shu Niu? What does it have to do with Shu Niu colluding with Qi State?
Hearing the sound, Li Ran saw that everyone was also confused, so he pointed to the seats next to him and motioned for them all to take their seats.
Chu Tang looked at Sun Wu, then at Owl Wings behind him, with a confused look on his face.
"Come, sit down."
"Today I will give you a detailed explanation of how this guy is planning to frame us."
Li Ran didn't have so many false courtesy. After asking everyone to sit down, he glanced around and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
From the Ji family of the Lu State to the establishment of the ox in the Zheng State, Li Ran has always enjoyed the battle of wits and courage.
Everyone was silent, looking at Li Ran intently.
"It all started when I suggested that my uncle persuade the doctor to persuade the Marquis of Qi to provide food for disaster relief. At this time, the vertical cow had secretly laid a big net, waiting for me, Li Ran, to fall into it."
"First of all, after he got the news, he immediately suggested that the old patriarch Ji Xian go to Weiguo to sell surplus grain, hoping to make huge profits from it. But for Shu Niu, all this is just a cover."
"Obviously, he had known for a long time that Dr. Zichan also had a batch of grain being collected, so the schedule of transporting grain was delayed again and again. And if the grain from Qi State arrived in Wei State first, the grain from Jishi would not be sold.
The price was raised. Then, he told the old sect leader that I, Li Ranxiang, helped the sheep tongue to persuade the Marquis of Qi, so that the old sect leader naturally thought that I was deliberately targeting the Ji family, so that as soon as I came to Zhengyi,
Received the cold eyes and fear of the old sect leader."
"It's just that at that time, I only suspected that Shu Niu was colluding with the Ji family of the Lu state. The reason why he arranged it like this was just to help the Ji family of the Lu state."
After saying this, a smile appeared on Li Ran's face.
Sun Wu on the side also said:
"Indeed, it is reasonable that Shu Niu has been in charge of the Ji family's business dealings with many vassal states over the years and colluded with Ji Sun Yiru."
"But he didn't expect that my husband could convince the old patriarch to change the food that was originally intended to be sold into a donation. In this way, the plan to erect the cow was in vain."
At that time, it was only because of Sun Wu's righteous indignation that Li Ran had the intention to persuade Ji Xian. It happened that Zichan and Ji Xian came to visit together, and Li Ran explained some great truths.
Thanks to luck, Ji Xian promised to donate the food he planned to sell at that time. In fact, it was largely due to Zichan's presence.
After all, the imperial court of the State of Zheng donated so much grain to the Wei State for disaster relief, but you, the sacrificer of the family, transported the grain to be sold instead. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Others will not specifically refer to you as "the sacrifice of the family of the State of Zheng".
The shit basin will eventually fall on Zheng Guo's head.
Zichan naturally wanted to consider this matter from the perspective of national interests, so he spoke for Li Ran and asked Ji to reconsider the matter first.
"After the old patriarch changed his mind and changed the person in charge of escorting the food, Shu Niu knew that something was wrong and could no longer frame me through this matter. So he launched another plan
The plan is to subcontract Jishi's grain truck."
"By doing this, on the one hand, he can frame Ji Zong and Ji Xun. Once these two sons make mistakes on the way to escort the food, they will definitely be severely punished by the Ji clan. In addition, Shu Niu sent people to attack the old sect leader.
By fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, it will be difficult for the two of them to compete for the position of sect leader."
"On the other hand, I proposed the donation of grain to the patriarch of the clan. If there is a problem with the grain truck, how can I get away with it? If it is sold, the grain truck of the clan does not need to enter the treasury of Weidu.
, even if something like this happens, it is at best an internal mistake within the Ji clan. But now it is a donation, and once it is entered into the official treasury, then this matter will not be so simple."
This point was what Li Ran thought of when he was persuading Qi E in the treasury.
At first, he thought that the purpose of raising the cow to transfer the grain was to frame Ji Zong and Ji Xun.
But when he persuaded Qi E, he suddenly discovered that Shu Niu's actions could actually frame him in disguise.
"But he miscalculated again."
Sun Wu looked at Li Ran with admiration in his eyes.
Not only did Li Ran discover the ruse of raising the ox, but with the help of Ji Le, he successfully filled up the huge hole. Even after Qi E saw the firewood and stones in Ji's grain truck, he did not ignore Ji Yi.
, how about the sacrifice? And Li Ran and the two of them were able to escape safely.
"But it's not over yet. Isn't that right? Something happened over there in Qi State."
Li Ran's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
If Ji Sun Yiru of the Lu State had once made Li Ran feel pressured, then now Li Ran was a little impressed by this bull.
Whether it is a layout plan that takes advantage of the situation, or a proactive change of plan that changes with the situation, Shu Niu's reaction and execution are impeccable.
Compared to Ji Sun Yiru, although this Shu Niu's status is not high, the pressure it puts on him is actually greater.
But who is Li Ran? As a man in science and engineering, his character is that he gets stronger when he encounters strong people. Therefore, now Li Ran has inexplicably ignited a fighting spirit again, because he wants to see,
Just how capable is this vertical bull?
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Now Li Ran is extremely interested in fighting this bull.
