I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 64 Bad Intuition

The reason why Li Ran would ask such a question is what basis does he have?That can be said to be completely absent.

But for some reason, Li Ran always had a faint feeling of deja vu, and felt that the plan to sell grain at the sacrifice was not as simple as it seemed.

So he was very interested in who came up with this idea, even if judging from Jixian's reaction just now, Jixian was fully aware of this decision.However, based on intuition alone, he still had doubts about it.

Sure enough, his intuition was completely correct.

Hearing what Li Ran said, Ji Xian was obviously taken aback for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he seemed a little embarrassed, showing a look of hesitation.

This scene made Zichan on the side immediately interested, and asked in surprise:

"Memorizing the elderly? Is this really not your own idea?"

Compared with the disaster relief assistance from various countries, the grain that Jishi planned to transport to Weiguo this time is not too much, but it is not a small number.And these grains can be regarded as a huge sum of money for the huge sacrifice family.

If this idea really wasn't Jixian's idea, who else in the Jishi clan can decide on such a large-scale grain trade?
"Ah... To be honest, this is my son's intention... I saw that this was a good thing, and I didn't have time to think about it, so... I agreed... But I didn't expect... Sigh..."

At the end of the words, Jixian sighed again, depression and remorse emerged on his face at the same time, he bowed his head, feeling very guilty.

As he said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first.But today, after listening to Li Ran's words, she realized how much disaster this incident might bring to Ji Shi and even Zheng Guohui.

If Li Ran hadn't woken him up today, I'm afraid he would continue to make mistakes again and again, and it would be hard to get over the water, and if it was self-defeating again, Ji Shi and Zheng Guo would really make a big joke in front of the whole world .

However, when Li Ran heard Ji Xian's words, the bad intuition in his heart didn't fade away, on the contrary, it became more and more clear.

Before he could speak, Zichan asked again:
"Stand up? You mean, he proposed it?"

Jixian nodded slightly and sighed:
"Yes... He has been in charge of my family's foreign business all these years, and now that he is old, it is inevitable that he is a little powerless. It has been a long time since I asked about this trivial matter. If the doctor hadn't asked this time Please, I would not intervene in this matter."

Being consigned by Zheng Guo's official family to send grain to Wei for disaster relief, and Ji's privately transporting grain to Wei to sell are two completely different things.Even if you don't worry about erecting cattle first, you have to ask yourself.

After all, no matter how small the matter of Zheng Guo's court is, it will have a huge impact on Jishi.

It was precisely because of this that both Li Ran and Zichan mistakenly believed that Jixian's plan to transport and sell grain was a decision made by Jixian himself.

But in fact it is not the case.

Hearing this, Li Ran suddenly remembered that the uneasiness in his heart had appeared before when he was in Lu State.

That was before the death of Ji Ye, the former prince of the Lu Kingdom, when he and his uncle Sun Bao were thinking about why the Ji family opposed Prince Ye's living in the Chu Palace, this feeling had appeared.

At that time, Li Ran felt that Ji's opposition to Prince Ye's living in the Chu Palace was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and there must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Prince Lu to be assassinated and died.

Now, when Li Ran heard that Ji Niu's grain sales plan was planned by Shu Niu, he suddenly felt that this plan was definitely more than it seemed on the surface.

Reminiscent of that day, when he went to visit the priest's house, he still vividly remembered the killing intent of the vertical bull on the side towards him.The killing intent was not only strong, but also extremely resolute, as if he and Shu Niu had a deep hatred.

He has been thinking about it for the past few days, but he still hasn't figured out why Shu Niu treated him like this, so he always suspected that Shu Niu had some kind of relationship with Lu Guoji's family, so he specially asked Sun Wu to investigate.

But Sun Wu is also a newcomer, and he is not very familiar with everything around him, so what can he find out?

"Zi Ming, what do you mean...?"

Zichan also seemed to see that something was on Li Ran's mind, so he immediately asked with a frown.

You must know that this plan of Jishi this time will not only affect Jishi, but will even affect the entire country of Zheng. Right now, Zichan is very concerned.

However, at this time, Li Ran was also uncertain, so he replied casually after hearing the sound:

"Oh, what I mean is that since the matter has come to this point, it's time to ask whose idea it is..."

He didn't say it clearly. After all, he is not very clear about this matter at the moment. If he said something wrong, wouldn't it cause others to worry in vain?

Zichan nodded slightly when he heard the sound, and after thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Jixian and said:
"Since that's the case, let's make arrangements for Ji Lao today, so that this matter is properly done, and there must be no further trouble."

After Zichan said this, he looked outside the house again, but saw that the full moon was hanging high at this time, and it was already late at night.Then he got up to say goodbye to Li Ran.

"It's getting late, let's say goodbye first, and come to visit another day."

As he spoke, he and Ji Xian got up at the same time, and after Li Ran and the two saluted, they left in a hurry.

In fact, when Zichan saw Li Ran's appearance before leaving, he knew that he must have something to say, but because Jixian was also there, he didn't ask any more questions.

In Zheng Guochaotang for more than ten years, Zichan has already mastered this ability of observing words and emotions.

After the two of them left, Ji Le walked out from the backyard unhappily, with the same guilty look on his face as before Ji Xian.

A pair of bright eyes looked at Li Ran, and kept kneading the corner of his clothes.

She also heard Li Ran's words just now, and she also knew how dangerous it was for the Ji clan to transport grain to Weiguo to sell. As a member of the Ji clan, she felt even more afraid.

"Brother Ziming...I..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, Miss Ji, don't blame yourself too much."

Li Ran couldn't help comforting him.

But who knows that Ji Le shook his head and said, still a little sad:

"No, my father always taught me that my family has been in business for generations, and everyone in the family is a family, interdependent, and we share weal and woe."

"Even if I didn't participate in this matter, I am still responsible... If I knew this... If I knew this, I should have opposed Brother Meng earlier..."

Ji Le's brows were full of remorse.

It turned out that when she heard Shu Niu put forward this idea for the first time, she only thought that this business was just a very ordinary one.But he never thought of linking this business with the safety of the people of Weiguo.

She has traveled to many places over the years, and she has a deep understanding of the hardships of the people's lives.

Now that the country of Wei has suffered a catastrophe, how can the people get enough money to buy food?Wouldn't the grain that Jishi transported to Weiguo be resold to those dignitaries in the end?In the end, the people of Weiguo were starved to death all the time, and I am afraid that no one cares about them.

It's a pity that although she is the apple of Ji's family, as a daughter, she speaks very lightly about the internal affairs of the Ji's family.

Moreover, she couldn't think as thoroughly as Li Ran, so when Shu Niu made this suggestion, she didn't object.

Thinking about it now, I was really terrified. If Li Ran hadn't dissuaded him, it would have been unknown if Jishi would have suffered a serious crime this time.

After thinking about it, Ji Le immediately raised his hands and eyebrows to Li Ran, and saluted.Unexpectedly, he changed from his playful appearance in the past, and became very respectful for a while.
