What Tian Ruoju didn't expect was that the young man in front of him, who was only a young man, would be so courageous. Not only was he neither humble nor overbearing in the face of his threats, he even strolled around there, as if turning a deaf ear.
Although there are many strange people in the world, he has seen many, but there is only one such person like him.
Although he didn't know why Li Ran wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him alone, he could feel that Li Ran must have a purpose.
So, he only paused for a moment, and then immediately nodded slightly and agreed. He turned around and came to an inner room.
Li Ran was also ready to follow him in. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn his head to look at Zichan and offer sacrifices to the two of them. He nodded to them to reassure them.
When the envoys outside the house saw this, they all started talking around, not knowing what Li Ran was trying to do.
"There's no one around, can we talk now?"
Tian Ruoju stood in the room, with a tall and burly body of seven feet, and a pair of eagle eyes as sharp as copper bells.
However, Li Ran remained unmoved.
After he glanced at Tian Ruoju, he lowered his head, sat down slowly, and said slowly:
"Doctor, have you ever suspected that you Qi people may have done this yourself?"
In fact, everyone has a basic understanding of the robbery of Qi's grain truck, that is, it could never have been done by the Qi people themselves.
The reason is very simple. Why would Qi people rob their own grain truck? Could it be that the common people who had no food to eat gathered together to rob food? Even so, where did the weapons in their hands come from?
What's more, the guards responsible for transporting food from Qi this time were at least one or two thousand elite soldiers. Being able to carry out plunder under the eyes of such elites, not to mention just fallen savages, even if the surrounding barbarian countries have their own intentions, they may not be able to escape unscathed.
In other words, there is almost no doubt that this matter must have been done by officials from the other side.
Therefore, the only question is, which force did this? And all the evidence now points to Yang Yangui who is far away in Jin State, and Li Ran who is in Zheng State.
However, Tian Ranju is Yan Ying's confidant. I followed Yan Ying's instructions, so I naturally had some thoughts about this. It's just that I'm not mature yet, and I don't have the slightest clue. Hearing Li Ran say this, his expression suddenly became slightly startled, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.
"Oh? What you mean is that I, Qi Ren, did this myself, and then I turned the blame on you? This idea is quite new, so I would like to hear the details."
It was obvious that Tian Juju suddenly became interested in this statement. Li Ran was determined to continue explaining.
"However, there are currently two speculations. One may be unintentional. It was just Qi Ren's own doing, and he wanted to shift the attention of this matter to me, Li Ran. The other is intentional, but there is a bad person hiding in Qi. After getting the news from Qi State that grain was about to be shipped, they robbed the grain with the intention of putting the blame on me. But no matter what the possibility is, there must be people from Qi here as internal agents. This should not be the case at all. Without a doubt.”
"So even if Qi Ren didn't do it himself, someone must have secretly collaborated with him. What does the doctor think?"
In fact, there was one thing that Li Ran hadn't thought clearly about yet, so he didn't tell Tian Ruoju all his guesses until he thought about it clearly.
However, the two speculations he mentioned now were enough to make Tian Juanju think deeply.
The route of Qi's grain trucks, the date of delivery, the number of escorts and other information should indeed be kept secret in Qi. On the one hand, it was out of security considerations, and on the other hand, after all, it was the Jin State that initiated this matter. The state of Qi was too grandiose in carrying out the imperial edicts, and it was hard to avoid being embarrassed on its face.
In fact, this is indeed the case. It stands to reason that only a few people know the route of the Qi State grain truck escort and the pick-up dates at each station.
Even those who were well-informed before, such as Zheng Guoji, had to send people to inquire secretly over and over again to learn about their approximate itinerary and location.
If we only rely on these pieces of information to plan a grain robbery, it will be even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
In this case, if the accident that happened to the Qi Guo grain truck on the road was indeed not caused by Yang Yangui and Li Ran, then who could it be?
"Haha, if you say so, can this envoy also suspect that you deliberately leaked the news, and then found someone to pretend to blame you, so that in turn you can be cleared of suspicion?"
"You are so smart. Since you can think of me, Qi Ren, who leaked the secret, you can naturally think of a way to escape yourself, right?"
After Tian Ruoju finished speaking, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Naturally, the ability of a person who is valued so highly by Yan Ying cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.
If he was really dismissed by Li Ran with one or two so-called "guesses", then Yan Ying's "knowledge of people" would not be surprising. And this Tian Ruoju is naturally not fair.
What Li Ran said just now does make sense, but no matter how reasonable it is, after all, Tian Tianju is also a Qi person.
Since he is from Qi, he cannot easily believe an outsider's doubts about his family.
And he also knew very well that Li Ran had not completely told him the truth.
"May I ask the doctor, why do you think that Li Ran is going to write and direct this play by himself?"
Li Ran frowned slightly when he saw this.
"Haha, it's because of those two outside."
Tian Ruoju couldn't help but sneered and pointed to the location of the lobby. The look of disdain on his face suddenly became even worse.
His suspicion was actually not completely unreasonable.
After all, if Qi's food cannot be transported to Wei, then Zheng will naturally take the lead and become the only benefactor to successfully aid Wei.
In the future, if Zheng and Wei share the same enemy and share the same surname, then the east of Zheng will naturally be much more stable.
And the Ji clan can naturally enjoy the dividends of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries and seek greater benefits from it.
"Haha, then the doctor will be disappointed."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Tian Ruoju asked again noncommittally.
Li Ran walked towards the child outside the house as if nothing had happened. He took a look first and then slowly replied:
"If Li really cared about the two outsiders, he would not have told Dr. Shu Xiang how to lobby the king of your country from the beginning. If the Qi State had not transported grain to help the Wei State, not only would it have no kindness to the Wei State, but It would also offend the Jin State. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to Zheng?
"The Ji family can also take advantage of this opportunity to sell grain to the Wei State. Not only can they make a lot of money, but the Wei State will also be grateful to Zheng Guo Ji family. The Ji family can gain fame and profit, and No more worries.”
"Doctor thinks, why does Mr. Li have to sacrifice the near for the distant? Why should he risk the disapproval of the world?"
Yes, instead of robbing Qi's grain truck with great fanfare, if Li Ran wanted to help Zheng Guo and the Ji clan to make profits, wouldn't it be better to directly persuade Yang Tongue to give up this idea as soon as possible?
Hearing this, Tian Zhuju's face became serious again.
"Can Ziming tell the truth?"
He had so many suspicions, but in fact he just wanted to see what Li Ran was hiding.
But unfortunately, so far, he still has not been able to fully understand Li Ran.
Although Li Ran was standing in front of him, he could still see through it, as if Li Ran was covered with a curtain, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
Hazy, looming.
Obviously, Tian Ruoju didn't like this feeling, nor did he like Li Ran's cover-up. But due to the purpose of this trip, he had to find out all the truth that Li Ran knew.
"Of course you can give the doctor a name. When the doctor returns to Qi, you can use this as a clue to conduct an open and secret investigation in private. Some clues will definitely be found by then. However, no matter what the result is, I still urge the doctor to be able to Let us know in the future.”
At this point, Li Ran's eyes couldn't help but become sharper.
Tian Juju was startled when he saw this, and was about to ask for more details, but unexpectedly, Li Ran simply handed over his hand and walked out without any intention of telling him the name.
Then, he looked towards where Li Ran was standing just now, and saw two more words appearing on the ground at some point.
