Ji Xian's doubts were not unreasonable. Even if Li Ran suspected that there was a spy among the guards, how could he prove that the spy was sent by Shu Niu?
Li Ran heard the sound, thought for a moment, and finally turned his attention to Ji Le.
Ji Le had doubted this when Li Ran asked Sun Wu and Owl Wings to monitor the standing cow in the other courtyard. Now this question still needs Ji Le to answer.
"father…"
Ji Le seemed a little embarrassed.
After all, he is her eldest brother, and it is related to the family honor of the Ji family. Once some things are completely revealed, it will be an unbearable shame.
"Tell me, now that things have happened, there is nothing left to cover up for him."
At this time, Ji Xian's face looked extremely calm, probably because he was extremely disappointed.
As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. What this bull has done is already evident, so what else could make him more disappointed?
"After the poisoner was silenced, my husband asked Sun Wu and Owl Yi to secretly monitor Brother Meng."
"In the past few days of the government's ban, Brother Meng has gone to the Feng family's residence more than once at night."
"A few days ago, after your father announced at home that your husband would go to the palace to lobby, your daughter ordered the maid to follow you quietly. As expected, Brother Meng immediately rushed to Dr. Sihei's residence..."
These were all things Ji Le saw and heard with his own eyes, and they were definitely not fabricated to deliberately frame Brother Meng.
And by this point, everything is clear.
If Shu Niu hadn't colluded with Feng Duan and Si Hei, how could he have gone to the houses of Feng Duan and Si Hei several times?
And the reason why the poisoner captured by Li Ransheng was killed for no reason. If not Shu Niu, who could be the instigator?
"Obviously, Dr. Boshi and Dr. Zixi colluded secretly. What they did was to stir up the whole Zhengyi and cause panic, thereby shaking Dr. Zichan's foundation as the ruling minister."
"When the disease was on the rise, my son-in-law made it clear that I should support Dr. Zichan's banning policy. Brother Meng strongly opposed it at that time. In the final analysis, he wanted to instigate his father-in-law to have discord with Zichan. Therefore, Or maybe from that time on, my son-in-law thought that he was in cahoots with Feng Duan and Si Hei."
"So when Zheng Yi's situation improved, he suddenly strongly opposed lifting the ban, in order to take advantage of this last opportunity to create further trouble for them."
"As long as Dr. Zichan falls, there is no doubt that Feng Duan, as the oldest 'gongsun' among the six ministers, can logically succeed him as the ruling minister. At that time, Brother Meng wants to deal with his son-in-law again, or even his son-in-law. It is easy for them to control the entire Sacrifice clan."
In fact, there is another point. Li Ran did not tell Ji Xian clearly, but told a little lie.
That is when did Shu Niu conspire with Feng Duan and Si Hei Hang?
Although he said it started with the poisoning incident, in fact, they probably colluded with each other much earlier than that.
After experiencing the incident of "disaster relief food being diverted", Li Ran had been thinking about this issue.
If it is said that Zhu Niu only instigated this conspiracy to frame himself and Ji Zong and Ji Xun, it does not seem to make sense logically.
After all, the entire Ji clan is naturally involved in this. And as the eldest son of the Ji clan, if he is really pursued, he himself will not be spared.
If a person commits evil, can he do it in such a way that he is also involved? It seems that it is somewhat untenable both emotionally and rationally.
However, if we relate this matter to the conflict between Zichan and Fengduan, This seems to be much more logical.
By then, if Wei Guo is really held accountable, then as the ruling minister's son, the responsibility for dereliction of duty will definitely not go away. There will also be an irreparable scar between Jishi and Zichan.
This is naturally the situation that Zichan's political opponents most want to see.
Therefore, all this has to make people doubt whether there will be an internal response on the Zhengguo temple? Or is it possible that Zhu Niu itself is someone else's internal agent placed in the Sacrifice clan?
Therefore, after connecting the entire incident, it is not difficult to find that there is only one ultimate goal behind it: Zichan's position as the ruling minister.
Of course, the main purpose of Shu Niu's plan to transfer food subcontracts may really be to covet the position of the head of the Ji clan. But there is a premise, that is, he must have been guaranteed by someone else.
Naturally, this mole who was hiding in the ranks of Zheng Guo Shangqing to protect him also hoped to use this incident to bring down Zi Chan. So both sides took what they needed, and Shu Niu did the most dangerous job, and there were people in the temple covering for him.
So much so that after the Dongchuang Incident occurred about the food exchange, the government did not urge the Ji family to deal with the matter internally.
Of course, there must be a reason why clan sacrifice is very important in Zheng State.
However, even if there was such a reason, the matter was so serious that Zi Chan did not pursue it, just for the sake of Ji Xian.
But what about others?
Why didn't they continue to pursue it?
Could it be that selling sacrifices comes first to save face?
Obviously not.
The only possible explanation is that this incident was caused by the collusion between Shu Niu and the people in the temple, both internally and externally. If anything happens to Shu Niu, they will also be caught. Saving Shu Niu is equivalent to saving themselves, so naturally they will not delve into this matter further.
As a result, this matter, which was originally enough to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, turned into a major matter and a trivial matter. No one even stood up to ask a question.
It is precisely for this reason that when the malaria outbreak began, his first thought was to monitor Shu Niu.
On the one hand, it was to confirm his suspicion, and on the other hand, he also hoped to follow the clues and determine who was responsible for the malaria incident through the action of setting up a bull.
Sure enough, after the plague broke out, Li Ran saw everything Shu Niu did secretly.
But this time, Li Ran did not choose to hide it from Ji Xian.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
I don't know whether Ji was extremely sad at first, or whether he could no longer hide his self-mockery and actually laughed out loud for a while.
But his smile was very bitter.
"I didn't expect...I would raise such a arrogant person...What a big joke..."
"father…"
Ji Le was about to step forward to comfort Ji Xian, but Ji Xian waved her hand and stopped her.
I saw Ji Xian rubbing his forehead with one hand and tapping on the table with the other, looking haggard.
"Since you have noticed these things for a long time, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After a while, Ji Xian suddenly sighed.
"Brother Meng plays a very important role within the Ji clan. How can my son-in-law dare to talk nonsense if he is not absolutely sure?"
Li Ran's answer was very concise.
Ji Xian nodded slightly when he heard the sound, then turned his eyes, and his face suddenly became stern.
"Then what do you think should be done with him this time?"
What I said before is all nonsense, this last sentence is the key point.
In fact, when all the questions are solved, there is only one question that needs to be answered.
