How Li Ran will prove his innocence in the end and get rid of Qi's suspicion of him now depends on his own performance.
On the way to meet the Qi envoy with Ji Xian and Zi Chan, Ji Xian and Zi Chan had already made their words very clear.
"Whether it is the sacrifice of the clan or the court of Zheng Guo, there is nothing that can be done to help at the moment. Zi Ming still needs to take care of himself..."
"Furthermore, although Dr. Shu Xiang has denied the matter, he is very likely to have doubts about you. If you place your hopes on him, I'm afraid it is unrealistic. The envoy from Qi State came to Zheng with great arrogance.
I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get rid of Sheng Sheng. Zi Ming, you have to be prepared."
Zichan values Li Ran very much, there is no doubt about this.
But no matter how much we value it, we cannot bet on the interests of the entire country of Zheng. Facing the accountability of Qi this time, Zichan himself is also in a very difficult position.
"Li Ran knows what's going on. Please relax, sir."
Li Ran didn't say much. In fact, he had already thought of a countermeasure. At this time, his face was calm. Even Ji Xian and Zi Chan couldn't help but be slightly startled when they saw this.
Arriving at Guanyi, the envoy from Qi State had been waiting for a long time.
"Doctor Zichan is indeed a gentleman that Zheng Guo relies on. He really honors his word and keeps his promise, which is really admirable."
"So, do you think this person is Li Ran?"
An envoy from the State of Qi came forward to greet him, and by the way he recognized Li Ran who had followed Zichan into the post.
Li Ran glanced around and saw that there were many envoys from Qi this time. There were fifty or sixty people in the post. In addition, some people had dispersed to the entrances and exits of various cities in Zheng. It was estimated that there were many envoys coming to Zheng this time.
There are at least a hundred people.
Such a large-scale mission only came to Zheng State to negotiate for his extradition, Li Ran, which shows that Qi State attaches great importance to this matter.
After scanning around, Li Ran's eyes finally landed on an old man sitting behind everyone.
At this moment, Zichan's eyes also fell on this person.
This man was sitting upright at the main table. Although he had the appearance of an elder, there was not a trace of white hair. The eyebrows on his face were like daggers, and his nose and mouth were like cauldrons. He exuded a sense of majesty all over his body.
Breath.
I saw that the child was born, but other people turned a blind eye to it. They actually came directly to the old man, raised their hands and bowed and said:
"Doctor Tian, I have brought Li Ran here. Please let Dr. Tian handle the next matter at his own discretion."
Both inside and outside the words, Zichan's tone revealed a sense of indifference. It was just for the sake of face, so he had to bow his hand.
Then, Zichan turned to look at Li Ran and introduced him:
"This is Tian Rangju, the Qi doctor. He is the envoy from Qi State who came to negotiate with Zheng State."
And when Li Ran listened to his introduction, two words suddenly emerged in his mind: Come on!
Tian Rangju!
This is another powerful man!
If Sun Wu is the most shining star among military strategists in this era, then Tian Ruoju is definitely the one second only to Sun Wu!
To use Yan Ying's words to describe it, it means that one can win over others with his literary skills and can intimidate his enemies with his martial arts. If he is capable of literary and military skills, he can be said to be invincible in the world.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Marquis of Qi now loves to listen to slander, he wouldn’t think highly of this person. Otherwise, this person would definitely be a fierce man who could revive Duke Huan’s hegemony!
"To use such a fierce man to deal with a little person like me, Qi State has really spent a lot of money this time."
Li Ran couldn't help but lament his "weight" in the mind of Qi Hou.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why the Marquis of Qi sent Tian Rangju here this time was largely due to the internal power and ministers of Qi State competing with each other.
Although Yan Ying was a virtuous man and a very prestigious official in the Qi State, he could not stand up to the traitors of the Manchu Dynasty around the Marquis of Qi. In the past, there was Cui Zhu, who caused trouble in the Qing Dynasty. Later, there were the Gao family, Bao family, Luan family, etc. who secretly manipulated the Chao Gang.
.Moreover, the Tian family is trying to win people's hearts in the country under the banner of the monarch. None of these people are good people, and they are all extremely difficult to deal with.
Although the Tian Ruoju in front of me comes from a small sect of the Tian family, he is extremely fair and righteous. It is extremely difficult to be recommended by Yan Ying and send him to take care of this matter. p>
There is no doubt that Yan Ying's move may also give Li Ran a chance to prove his innocence.
After all, how could Yan Ying and even the Marquis of Qi not know about the huge loopholes in the robbery of Qi's food this time?
Just as he was thinking about it, Tian Ruoju had already set his sights on him.
"Are you Li Ran?"
No matter who it is, they will inevitably be a little surprised when they meet Li Ran for the first time.
Because Li Ran is too young and his reputation is too great, this is completely inconsistent!
Even the mature and prudent Tian Juju couldn't help but look up and down for a long time when he saw Li Ran, and then he asked.
"This is Li Ran, who has met Dr. Tian."
Li Ran remained as calm as ever.
Although my heart was turbulent just now, I quickly calmed down after a short period of calm.
After all, Tian Rangju has not yet become Sima Rangju, and has not yet been able to show his true strength in Qi State.
"Xiang Yan asked me to go there in person, so there is no need to talk nonsense. Is it you who did the robbery of our Qi State grain truck?"
When Tian Juju heard Li Ran's calm answer, he couldn't help but feel slightly startled again. However, his face remained calm, and he only spoke with a hint of indifference and seriousness.
Zichan and Jixian on the side looked sideways when they saw this.
This matter is too important to them. Once Li Ran cannot prove himself, the relationship between Zheng and Qi will become delicate.
"Of course not."
Li Ran's answer was also very concise, and even his expression did not change.
"Haha, I have long heard that Li Ran and Li Ziming, the former Luoyi treasurekeepers, were scheming and cunning, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that."
"You said you didn't do this, so did I, Qi Ren, make up these testimonies myself?"
As he said that, the other two envoys threw a bundle of official slips towards Li Ran, and it landed directly at Li Ran's feet.
But Tian Rangju Duan was still kneeling on top of the chief, and had already looked away, as if he had not seen this scene.
Zichan and Jixian looked at each other, both of them had no idea. Now they could only place their hope on Li Ran himself.
"The testimony may not be fabricated, but the evidence may be."
Li Ran picked up the official slip on the ground, read the writing on it, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Quia!"
"Come on, let me take it down first!"
When the envoy of Qi standing next to him saw that Li Ran was indifferent, he immediately got angry and thought to himself, how could we, the dignified envoys of Qi State, be fooled by a young and fresh-faced boy? He was about to kill someone.
Take action to seize.
Anyway, don’t worry about it, just bring it back to Qi for business first. Are you afraid that Li Ran won’t recruit him then?
After the words fell, several Qi guards were about to step forward.
"Presumptuous!"
"Do you still have me as your envoy in your eyes?"
Unexpectedly, before Zichan, Jixian and others could react, Tian Juanju had already shouted angrily.
His eyes were like torches, sweeping over the Qi guards present, and the awe-inspiring look in his eyes was like a knife hanging above the heads of these guards.
A sense of majesty rushed towards them, and several guards were frightened and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, trembling.
Hearing this loud shout, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes.
