Of course, Li Ran directed and acted not only the scene of "assassination and being caught", but also a confrontation.
But if it is just a flat accusation that Ji Sunsu is the mastermind behind the scenes, it will definitely be difficult to convince people.
Therefore, in order to increase the credibility of the assassin's testimony, Li Ran had to question it personally. So that after the assassin can carry out a complicated psychological struggle, he can reveal Ji Sunsu.
Only in this way can everyone present believe that this testimony is true.
Therefore, the typical interrogation method of "coercion and inducement" came in handy. Even though everything about him is singing.
When the assassin heard what Li Ran said, he was sweating profusely, his face turned pale for a moment, his eyes kept turning, and the psychological struggle was extremely fierce.
But Li Ran hasn't finished speaking yet.
I saw him pacing back and forth beside the assassin, while saying very cautiously:
"A failed assassin is determined not to survive the next day. Come to think of it, you know better than anyone else, right? As the saying goes, you have to get rid of the roots. If you die, then there is no need for your family to continue to live. There is nothing Nothing is more reliable than the dead, right?"
"I think you should understand all these principles, so I will only say the last sentence. If you tell the truth, His Highness the Crown Prince will make a huge promise here, and your family will be safe."
The prince is here, who dares to make a mistake?
The weight of this temptation is obviously heavier than money. After all, surviving is the main theme of this era.
Besides, it is not the life of the assassin, but the lives of his family, so this promise is even more tempting.
Sure enough, when the assassin heard this, he was immediately "shaken".
"May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince, is what this person said true?"
If he had done enough to put on a show, he would also need to get the prince's personal promise.
Of course, the fake prince followed suit and said:
"Well, I didn't want to be a guarantee, but now that Li Ran has said so, in front of all the civil and military officials, I will guarantee that your family will be safe."
"Now can you tell me who ordered you to assassinate me?"
The atmosphere in the Hantai Palace was extremely tense for a while.
Because everyone knows that what the assassin is going to say next will most likely shock the entire Lu Kingdom! But at this moment, there was still no wave on Li Ran's face.
Ji Sunsu looked at the expression on Li Ran's face and felt even more uneasy.
"This is indeed the trick!"
"This guy, I really underestimate you!"
Ji Sunsu cursed secretly. But at this time, this secret curse obviously had no effect, because the assassin had turned to look at him.
The assassin looked at Ji Sunsu and said:
"Doctor Jisun..."
"How presumptuous! I have never met you! Why are you trying to frame me!"
Before the assassin could finish speaking, Ji Sunsu immediately became furious and pointed at the assassin's nose and shouted.
When everyone in the palace saw the assassin looking like this, they were all shocked and hurriedly cast incredulous glances at Ji Sunsu.
As for Shusun Bao and Li Ran, they stood aside leisurely and watched the show unfold.
"Dr. Jisun, the matter has come to this, I..."
Obviously, this line is also arranged by Li Ran.
Although there are only nine words in this line, and the assassin seems to have said nothing, it is precisely because he seems to have said nothing that his words have said everything in the eyes of everyone.
What do you mean the matter is over? Why did the assassin hesitate to speak? Isn’t it obvious enough that we have come to this point?
It gives people the wrong impression. Isn't it because the assassin was afraid of Ji's power that he didn't dare to testify against Ji Sunsu? Isn't his hesitating expression a manifestation of his fear of the Ji family and his fear that his wife, children, and children would be silenced?
So, the court was in an uproar!
"No way? It was really Dr. Ji Sun who did it!"
"I can't believe it, but I don't dare not believe it!"
Not many courtiers stood on Shusunbao's side, but all of them spoke at this time, which was enough to shake the entire Hantai Palace.
When the courtiers on Ji Sunsu's side saw such a situation, they all dared to speak and took a step back involuntarily. It was as if he was afraid of having anything to do with Ji Sunsu.
Even Meng Sunjie was staring at Ji Sunsu in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
He didn't believe that Ji Sunsu was so confused, and he didn't believe that the Ji family could be so reckless. Not only did he miss the assassination, but he was also caught by the prince. Wasn't this looking for death?
But Ji Sunsu was in such a mess today, it was enough for Meng Sunjie to feel for a moment that this guy was going to be in trouble today.
"Doctor Jisun, don't you have anything to say to me?"
The false prince spoke at the right time, his face was extremely gloomy, and the dark clouds squeezing under his eyebrows were piling up. Everyone knew that this was the prelude to the coming storm.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I really don't know this person, and I don't know why he is so slanderous! My loyalty to the Crown Prince can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no treason in the least!"
"This...this is clearly a frame-up! A frame-up!"
Of course Ji Sunsu didn't know this person, but if he revealed at this moment that it was Li Ran and Shusun Bao who instigated this person to frame him, it would make him appear panicked and give the courtiers the impression that he had been pushed to the edge of a cliff. The feeling on the edge.
As old as him, how could he not see that this was Li Ran and Shusun Bao's conspiracy? But faced with this situation, even though he knew it clearly in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
Because he knew clearly that Shusunbao had no motive to assassinate the prince, and he did not have the strength. In addition, Shusunbao was only released yesterday, so it was impossible to doubt him due to emotion or reason.
Even if this was the truth, once he got the idea, he immediately accused the assassin of being arranged by Li Ran and Shusun Bao to frame him. In the eyes of these courtiers, this was a sign that he was in a hurry and sought medical treatment.
"Oh? You said this was a frame-up? But why didn't he frame someone else, but why did he frame you?"
Li Ran spoke up at this time, obviously wanting to add fuel to the fire.
At this time, in the Hantai Palace, all the important ministers were present, and the three emperors were even gathered together.
This assassin didn't testify against anyone, but he just testified against you, Ji Sunsu. Is this really okay?
"Hmph! If you want to be blamed! Why bother!"
"I behave well and sit upright. If I say I have never assassinated the prince, then I have never assassinated the prince!"
Ji Sunsu knew that he could not give Li Ran any loopholes at this time, so he continued to deny it firmly. He knew very well that there was no conclusive evidence in this matter, and as long as he did not admit it, he would not be convicted.
Of course, many of the ministers present did not really believe the assassin's testimony. After all, Ji Sunsu's own strength is still there.
People with strength will believe whatever they say.
"Oh?...Dr. Jisun, is there any way you can prove your innocence?"
The fake prince looked at the expression on Li Ran's face. According to his previous plan, he also knew that this matter could only be a bluff and it was not advisable to pursue him too fiercely. He immediately frowned and asked.
When Ji Sunsu heard the sound, he hurriedly bowed and said:
"The spirit of the late emperor is here, even if you give me ten courages, I will never dare to do such a rebellious thing!"
"Yesterday, I suddenly heard that the prince was assassinated. I already sent all my servants to hunt for the assassin. I didn't dare to slack off at all. How dare I send people to harm the prince? What's more... What's more, no matter how confused the old minister is, he will not do anything to the prince at the right time. It’s not good!”
This last sentence is the key.
His tearful performance was also impeccable, and the last sentence, which was similar to self-destruction, further proved the credibility of his words.
Indeed, even if he was anxious to eradicate Tai Ziye, he would not choose to do it at this time. After all, the first assassination had failed. Wouldn't it be stupid to try again?
Who doesn't know that the defense around the prince is so tight that not even a fly can get close to the prince! If we send an assassin to kill him at this time, wouldn't we just fall into a trap?
Hearing this, the false prince nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Li Ran and said:
"Li Ran, I think there is some truth in what Dr. Ji Sun said."
"Oh, is it so?"
"The common people think this is inappropriate!"
Just when everyone felt that Ji Sunsu's explanation made some sense, Li Ran's answer suddenly went against the grain, which greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present.
"What does this person mean?! The prince has already said that Dr. Ji Sun's words are trustworthy. How can you care about him when you introduce him with a white head?"
"It's so outrageous! When did it become a commoner's turn to speak nonsense in the Hantai Palace!"
"Don't worry yet, let's listen to what he has to say."
Because of the assassin's testimony just now, many people even among Ji's cronies have already become suspicious of Ji Sunsu.
And this is the second phase of Li Ran's plan, and it seems that it has been successful at this time.
What Li Ran wants is not to completely overthrow Ji Sunsu. What he wants is to make people doubt Ji Sunsu! What is needed is this atmosphere. If the atmosphere is set to this, it will almost be done.
As a result, the third phase of the plan came into being.
"By the way, there is another interesting thing happening here. I wonder if you adults are interested in hearing about it."
As Li Ran spoke, his eyes swept across the people in the hall, and finally landed on Ji Sunsu's face.
At this time, Ji Sunsu's old face was full of anger. Although he had restrained it several times, it still swelled in his eyes, and it was certain that it would burst out of his eyes.
His hatred for Li Ran had reached its peak, but he couldn't let it out at the moment, so he could only stare at Li Ran.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
The fake prince once again pushed the boat along. Then he saw Li Ran wink at Shusun Bao, Shusun Bao waved again, and three Lu Palace guards escorted another person into Hantai Palace.
When the man knelt on the ground, Li Ran introduced to everyone present:
"My lords, may you still remember what Cao Min said yesterday that when His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated in the palace for the first time, Cao Min was also assassinated in Qufu City. However, Cao Min was lucky enough to escape."
"And this person is the assassin who was captured alive by the grassroots and others. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people outside the alley by the Liuhe River. When they came out of that alley that day, the people who were watching But it’s quite a lot.”
After Li Ran finished speaking, Ji Sunsu's heart suddenly "thumped".
He really didn't know the first assassin who testified against him.
But he really knew the second assassin brought in by Li Ran!
Because this person was the assassin he sent to kill Li Ran! He never expected that he would be captured alive by Li Ran!
No matter how calm Ji Sunsu was, he couldn't help but tremble at this moment.
Because he knew exactly what Li Ran was going to say next, which was a fatal blow to him!
terrible!
This person has set up a trap that is so intertwined that he leaves no loopholes at all!
This Li Ran is simply not a human being!
