Speaking of Li Ran, Han Hu had actually heard Zi Chan talk about it a long time ago.
Last time, Li Ran went to Weiguo alone and solved the crisis for the Ji family and Zhengguo, which can be regarded as a great contribution. Han Hu originally wanted to reward him, but was unable to do so due to Feng Duan's strong opposition.
And this time, since Li Ran was already involved in the catastrophe in Zhengyi, it was absolutely right to ask Li Ran so many questions, in Han Hu's opinion.
Zichan also knew it in his heart, so after leaving Han Mansion, he immediately sent someone to call Li Ran.
He informed Li Ran of today's court meeting in advance and bluntly stated that Zheng Yi's ban might continue for some time.
He seemed a little ashamed about this. After all, as a minister in power, he should have tried to argue with reason again.
Unexpectedly, he was still restrained by a group of ministers and officials above the court, so that important matters here were delayed.
At least in this matter, he failed to show the courage he should have as a minister in power.
"Haha, doctor, please don't blame yourself too much. To be honest, doctor, I have actually expected this."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Zichan was startled when he heard the sound, looked at him in surprise and asked.
Just listen to Li Ran continue to say:
"Although the source of the disease has been suppressed by us now, and the situation is gradually improving. But for these officials and nobles, Zhengyi is still not a safe place at this time."
"They don't know the truth here, and it's human nature to save their lives to protect themselves. Besides, these people's fields and houses are all in the suburbs. If the disease in the city spreads out, how can they be willing?"
After hearing this, Zichan kept nodding his head and said:
"Well, the calculation here is indeed consistent with the scene during today's court meeting."
"However, there is another reason for this."
"Oh? So what about the second one?"
Zichan asked in confusion. Then, Li Ran laughed and said:
"In addition, since this matter was deliberately done by someone, the person behind the scenes would not let it go so easily. I heard that the doctor mentioned Dr. Zixi just now, and I thought that this person probably has something to do with Gongsun Duan. "(Sihei, courtesy name Zixi)
"The more noble they behave in this matter, the more they can disturb the public and the public, and then they can form cliques to deal with the doctor. So the doctor is content to be safe for the time being. There is nothing wrong with this, and there is no need to feel guilty."
In fact, Li Ran had already noticed it when he first caught the poisoner.
It's just that he didn't get the confession of the poisoner at that time, so his suspicion could only be suspicion.
Now, as the disease gradually improves, the political discussions in Zheng Guo's court have become very crucial.
This also gave Li Ran a great inspiration, allowing him to view the situation in front of him more clearly.
"Well, what Ziming said is indeed reasonable!"
"If it weren't for Zi Ming's help this time, I would not know how to deal with this situation. When this matter is over, I will definitely recommend an official position for Zi Ming, and I also ask Zi Ming not to refuse!"
Perhaps he was a fan of the authorities, but after listening to Li Ran's analysis, Zichan suddenly felt relaxed and happy. While praising Li Ran's wisdom, he also hurriedly expressed his sincerity in recruiting Li Ran.
But who would have thought that Li Ran stood up and bowed and said:
"Li Ranxiang is not helping the doctor just to get an official position. Please let the doctor know for sure."
"Ziming, there is no one else here. There is no need for this to happen between you and me."
"This matter has been settled, there is no need to make any further excuses."
"By the way, after today's court meeting, I and the government also made indirect inquiries about the matter. Once the matter is verified to be true, they will have to ask for an explanation at that time. What do you think, Ziming?"
Zichan knew what Li Ran was thinking and quickly changed the subject.
But Li Ran frowned when he heard the sound.
In fact, the most difficult thing to solve in this matter is this last step.
After all, catching a thief is not easy. What's more, we still need to catch the person behind the scenes?
Li Ran thought for a while, then he looked up at Zi Chan and said:
"However, I heard that Dr. Boshi has been seriously ill recently. Why don't you take this opportunity to pay a visit?"
"oh?"
Zichan looked slightly startled, and understood what he was saying instantly.
…
The next day, at Feng's house.
When Toyoduan heard that the child had come to visit, he immediately supported his already unable to move body, and with the help of his servants, he stumbled tremblingly to the gate to greet him.
When Zichan saw such a solemn welcome, he couldn't help but secretly thought: This Feng Duan is really good at acting!
"Oh my, my brother is so ill and yet he still has to come to greet me. It's really disappointing!"
"Quick, quick, let's go inside now. Don't let the wind startle you again."
Zichan also cooperated and stepped forward to support Fengduan's arm, and the two walked into the inner hall side by side.
"Hey... Brother Zichan... you don't know something... My illness came on suddenly. I fell ill on the first day, and then... turned out like this on the second day... I'm really not a teenager and don't realize it..."
Getting old means getting old, and some things are destined to be unchangeable.
However, his statement "You are not a teenager and you don't know yourself" made Zichan agree with him very much.
Zichan looked at his constant "coughing" and his old face that alternated between red and white, and couldn't help but secretly thought: Haha, are you saying that you don't know yourself? I think you understand it better than anyone else.
After sitting down, Zichan inquired about his condition, and after confirming that it was not caused by malaria, he sighed:
"Hey... Brother Boshi has been away for the past few days. The big and small things in this city have kept Guoqiao very busy." (Guoqiao: Zichan, Guo's family name, Mingqiao)
"Brother Boshi has been recuperating in the mansion these days. Have you heard anything?"
"Oh? Cough...cough...what did the wise brother Zichan say?"
Toyodan took a good rest and finally recovered, but his breathing was still heavy and his voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke.
"Recently, there are rumors in the city that this epidemic is man-made, and the target of the attack is pointed at Brother Boshi..."
"Absurd! Well... Absolutely ridiculous!"
Before Zichan finished speaking, Fengduan immediately stood up, slapped the table and shouted, his expression filled with indignation and rage could be described as lifelike.
"Cough cough cough..."
But the next moment, he started "coughing" violently again, until his old face turned purple, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing how painful he was, Zichan immediately comforted him and said:
"Oh my, brother, why are you so angry? How could you not know that this is just a rumor?"
"It's like what's been circulating in the city recently. Everyone is accusing Qiao of being incompetent in protecting the country, which has led to the tragic death of the common people. But has Qiao ever been so angry?...Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's just that. These are the actions of villains. How can we, gentlemen, be so magnanimous as to get angry because of such rumors?"
As Zichan said this, he took the ginger soup from the servant and handed it to Feng Duan to drink.
After Fengduan's breath became smoother, he continued:
"Brother Bo Shi, since you are sick, don't worry too much about the affairs of the court. I will take care of everything, so you can rest assured."
Unexpectedly, Feng Duan waved his hand again and said helplessly:
"There are so many rumors, how can I ignore them and turn a blind eye?"
"Brother Zichanxian, there is no need to comfort me about this matter. I will get to the bottom of it and find out the person who is behind this to trap me in an unjust situation!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but cough again, even Zichan couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Hey, why are you doing this?"
"Since Qiao is a minister in power, how can he allow Xiaoxiao to act recklessly? Don't worry, in a few days, when the plague in the city has subsided a little, I will immediately start investigating the matter and give Brother Boshi justice. !”
What Zichan said was sonorous, powerful and resounding. It was driven by great righteousness and made it even more glorious and majestic.
Toyoduan was startled when he saw this, and then he stood up slightly from lying on his side, and cupped his hands to express his thanks:
"Well, in that case, Brother Yu will be very grateful."
But when he spoke, his eyes flickered involuntarily. Although it was subtle, it could not escape Zichan's eyes.
