Feng Duan died tragically at home, and just as "Boyou Ghost" said - "On the day of Renyin, Feng Duan died."
The lie about Bo's ghost came true.
As a result, Zheng Yi fell into chaos again. If the person in charge dies mysteriously, the whole country will inevitably become a mess.
Zheng Boning was also afraid, so he could only continue to order people to strengthen the city defense of Zheng Yi. But at this time, everyone is in danger, and who will really take his "king's life" seriously?
Because Feng Duan died extremely hastily, the power to defend Zheng Yi was still in the hands of the Si family.
Si Zhuan, on the other hand, stayed at home to guard his father's funeral in order to protect himself. When he learned that Feng Duan had also died at home, he felt quite complicated for a while.
Not long ago, Si Zhuan finally buried his father safely, but he was not in a hurry to go to Feng Duan's house, and still maintained his reclusive appearance.
Obviously, whether it was out of fear of Boyou's ghost or consideration for his future career. At a time when the building is about to collapse, he must keep as much distance from Feng Duan as possible to avoid being liquidated again.
On this day, a servant suddenly came to report that someone outside the door came to see him. Moreover, he was a young man with a very unfamiliar face. He did not look like Zheng. He only said that he had something extremely important to see Si Zhuan.
Si Zhuan didn't know why, but to be on the safe side, he still let him in. I saw this man swaggering in. He was actually just a strong and weak young man. When he came to Si Zhuan, he also bowed to Si Zhuan politely.
Si Zhuan had doubts in his heart. After returning the gift, he opened his mouth and said:
"I don't know what to call you?"
"I'm Fan Li! I've met you, sir!"
Si Zhuan's original intention was to know where this person was and how famous he was, but to his surprise, he only gave his name and did not make any further introduction.
"Oh? Fan family?"
Si Zhuan was also very confused by this. For a while, he could only think that he was involved with the Fan family of Jin, but he couldn't be sure.
"Then why did you come all this way?"
"I just came to pay my respects because I heard that there was a distinguished person in your residence recently."
"Oh, I'm interested. It's just that... I'm sorry for being stupid, but I don't know where my fame comes from."
"Li came here on the order of my husband!"
Si Zhuan said calmly:
"Your husband?"
"Li Ran, Li Ziming is too!"
Fan Li's reply made Si Zhuan startled. After hearing this, he instinctively wanted to order someone to arrest him, but seeing his calm appearance, he still resisted this idea.
"Hmph! You are really brave!"
Fan Li's coming here was not actually sent by Li Ran, but was a decision made by Fan Li himself to judge the situation.
He had seen it very clearly in the city these days. Zheng Yi was indeed in chaos because of Feng Duan's death.
But Feng Duan's power still exists. After all, the tree is big and has deep roots, and its accomplices are also preparing to move in the dark.
Dr. Zichan was still under threat and did not dare to leave the mansion easily.
Zheng Yi's current situation is really unclear.
Fan Li, on the other hand, keenly sensed its meaning through Si Zhuan's recent inaction.
Perhaps, this Si Zhuan is a crowbar that can be used to try to leverage the situation.
After all, Fan Li had followed Li Ran during the previous conversation before the battle, and had also observed Si Zhuan.
He knew that Si Zhuan actually led his troops to fight against Li Ran before, just so that he could "be loyal to his duty." But in his heart, he couldn't bear to see his roommates fighting like this.
Therefore, if Si Zhuan can be persuaded by him and open the city gate to welcome Li Ran into the city, then all problems will be solved.
"Master Ziran, the situation in Zheng State is now in chaos, the court is dark, and the people of Zheng State have suffered from the tyranny of Feng Duan for a long time. Now is the time when Zheng State is in danger. If you cannot make a decisive decision... I am afraid that the Si family will also be in doom. ah!"
When Si Zhuan heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at this person carefully. Then, I suddenly remembered that I had seen this person before!
"You are indeed bolder than others, but why would Si want to listen to you? Haha, do you really think you can survive today?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Si Zhuan's eyes, and Fan Li said calmly:
"If Dr. Ziran wants to kill me now, it will be easy. But what happens after killing Fan Li? Mr. Ziming went to the city to fight against rebellion, and it is inevitable that Dr. Zichan will regain his authority. If Master Ziran insists on doing so, Niang will If we take advantage of the situation, the foundation of the Si family for several generations will be destroyed in your hands! What a pity...what a pity!"
Si Zhuan narrowed his eyes and replied sarcastically:
"Haha, Shu Zi is really rude! How is our Si family doing? Do we still need to listen to your nonsense from a nobody like you?"
"Haha, I am indeed an unknown person. But the current situation in Zheng State can be clearly seen by anyone with a clear mind. As the heir of the Si family, Mr. Ziran should think about the long-term interests of the Si family. Lord Ziran, you can still control everything now, how to make the decision, do you still need Li to explain it so clearly?"
Si Zhuan took a deep breath and then stood up.
"Huh! According to your words, should Si go and open the city gate now? Go and welcome Li Ran into the city? Huh! Don't make such nonsense here! Our Si family is in the same spirit as the Feng family. , not to mention that Si had a fight with Li Ran before! The relationship has already been established, can Li Ran still protect our Si family?"
To put it bluntly, Si Zhuan's words actually pointed out the purpose of Fan Li's visit this time. At the same time, he also directly incorporated his own concerns into these words.
When Fan Li heard this, he understood it very well. However, regarding this point, Fan Li couldn't make the decision for Li Ran. However, since the other party had already made their words clear, Fan Li had no choice but to take up the issue.
Therefore, Fan Li replied very firmly based on Dr. Zichan and Li Ran's character:
"Haha, that's of course! Mr. Ziming's original intention was just to punish Fengduan and Shuniu, and to allow Dr. Zichan to regain control of the government. Now that Fengduan is dead, Shuniu has also absconded. As long as Dr. Ziran can adapt Destiny, open the city gate to welcome us. If so, the Si family can be said to have made great achievements. Mr. Ziming has always been very wise. Once he enters the city, he will definitely find out the cause of your father's death. Li thinks that Master Ziran should You don’t want your father to die so mysteriously, right?”
Of course Si Zhuan wanted to find out the truth behind his father's tragic death. However, their secret investigation during this period, coupled with Feng Duan's mysterious death, made the case even more confusing.
Li Ziming is famous for his wisdom. If he is willing to step in and investigate this case, he can gain some hope.
Si Zhuan approached Fan Li and stared into his eyes.
"This city gate... Si can open it, but... if something happens to our Si family again because of this... I, the Si family, will definitely have to fight to the death with you!"
Fan Li grinned when he learned that the plan was done.
"Haha, Doctor Ziran, you can rest assured. Neither Doctor Zichan nor my husband are treacherous people. If it succeeds, the merit is not enough, so why is there any reason to be embarrassed? In this regard, Lord Ziran, you can rest assured. yes!"
Si Zhuan sat down again, put his hand on his forehead, and kneaded his temples with his thumb and middle finger. After thinking for a long time, he finally accepted Fan Li's suggestion.
——Open the city gate and welcome Li Ran into the city!
I think that when Feng Duan was alive, he once asked Si Zhuan to open the city gate when he was so angry. But he never thought that the prophecy had now come true. Although his head was not hung, he was indeed dead.
The next day, Si Zhuan, as the Sima of his left army, opened the gate of Zheng Yi and allowed Li Ran's army to enter the city.
Feng Duan's best friends immediately dispersed one after another, and Zichan soon returned to the position of minister of power with the support of Yu Ji.
Zheng Boning was very frightened at first, fearing that Zichan would suddenly attack and establish a new king.
Unexpectedly, Zichan not only had no such intention, but actually comforted him for his good life.
Under Zichan's arrangement, Li Ran was finally able to meet the king. Li Ran paid a visit to the king and directly advised that the policy of recuperating with the people as before by Dr. Zichan should be immediately restored. He also requested that the grievances of the Ji family be redressed, and he took this as an opportunity to reopen the Zheng Kingdom that had been suspended for several years. trade routes.
Zheng Boning finally felt relieved after confirming that they did not have any tampering intentions. And he agreed to Li Ran's request in full.
When Li Ran saw Zichan again outside the palace, he had not seen him for several years. Zichan had become an old man at this time, and his hair and beard had turned pale, and the wrinkles on his face were like the gaps of time, leaving behind Deep imprint.
When Li Ran saw this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
