At this moment, Ji Sunsu already knew what Li Ran was going to say next. But the other courtiers present were confused, and even Shusun Bao was looking at Li Ran very puzzled at this time.
This was because he only knew Li Ran's first and second phase plans, but Li Ran did not inform him of the subsequent third phase plan.
Of course he didn't know why, because Li Ran had no intention of letting him know why.
The pretended prince looked at the assassin on the ground, and then at the calm look on Li Ran's face. He understood for a moment, and immediately raised his hand to signal Li Ran to continue.
"Haha, sir, would you like to know who is the mastermind behind the assassination of this person?"
"After capturing this man alive, I have already interrogated him. I brought him to the palace today because I just want to seek justice for myself."
As Li Ran spoke, his eyes were full of calmness and calmness, and his confident tone made the courtiers present even more puzzled.
Who was the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Ran?
What does it have to do with assassinating the prince?
Is it possible…
When some courtiers thought of this, the expressions on their faces suddenly became more horrified, and their eyes turned to Ji Sunsu.
Yes, everyone would naturally think that if the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Ran was Ji Sunsu, then wouldn't it be Ji Sunsu who assassinated the prince for the first time? !
You must know that the two assassinations were originally carried out almost at the same time. If they were not arranged by the same person, how could it be such a coincidence?
Even Meng Sunjie was extremely shocked at this time. He never expected that Ji Sunsu would leave such a huge flaw!
This is simply fatal!
"Now, while all the ministers are here, let's talk about it. Who was the person behind the plan for you to assassinate me that day?"
In fact, this person Li Ran has really been tried.
Fortunately, Sun Wu came to the rescue that day, and Li Ran escaped safely from the alley. At that time, there were many assassins lying on the ground, and only one or two survived.
One of them died of excessive bleeding after being brought back by someone arranged by Li Ran. Therefore, only this single seedling is left. Therefore, in the past two days, this person has been strictly monitored by Sun Su.
As long as this person can speak now, then great things will happen.
"What? Don't you dare to speak in front of your lord?"
The assassin obviously knew that whether he opened his mouth or not would lead to death. Instead of exposing his master, it would be better to bite him to death without opening his mouth. This would at least save his family's life.
These days, among the samurai who come out to make a living, who doesn’t have a wife, children, and children at home? If they weren't forced to make a living, why would they do this kind of thing? If you just wander around alone, you can live anywhere.
Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with force.
Facts have proved that no matter how great a literary hero is, once he has a family, he will eventually become realistic.
And the assassin was now lying on the ground shivering, his eyes full of fear. It seems that he can't bear the word "xia", but at the same time, he only wants to save his family, which is also true.
So, he had no choice but to keep silent, even though he had already confessed to Li Ran the person behind the scenes.
"Bold bastard! How dare you look down on me like this!"
"Come on! Find out this person's identity immediately and kill his three clans!"
If the person sitting in the upper position now was really Tai Ziye, he would definitely not be so tyrannical. But this is a fake after all, and although this fake prince's performance is a bit over the top, it is just right at the moment. After all, how to get this assassin to speak has become the most critical issue now.
When the ministers in the palace heard this, they were all frightened and couldn't help but shudder.
It can be seen that if you do a job like an assassin well, you will be a hero who is feared and passed down through the ages. If you don't do it well, you will be the ants that will be buried with your whole family. Chinese civilization has been like this for five thousand years.
Ji Sunsu looked stern and nervous, his eyes constantly lingering on the assassin and Li Ran, but he still did not dare to speak.
At this time, Shusun Bao suddenly took a step forward, came to the assassin's side, knelt down and said a few words in the assassin's ear.
The next moment, the assassin suddenly raised his head, glanced at the other "assassin" who was also kneeling on the side, and then looked at Shu Sunbao with an unbelievable look, unable to recover for a long time.
When Li Ran saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said very calmly:
"Go on, tell me everything you know."
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince can save the lives of his whole family, he can naturally save the lives of your whole family, too!"
Although Shusun Bao didn't know Li Ran's third stage plan, he reacted the moment the assassin entered the palace and listened to what Li Ran said. Now he spoke with full confidence.
Sure enough, when the assassin heard the sound, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned his head, suddenly looked at Ji Sunsu, and begged in a begging voice:
"Doctor Jisun!..."
It's over, this time it's completely real.
"you!"
Ji Sunsu had no power to argue at this time. He was so angry that his snow-white beard was trembling, and the fire in his eyes was about to burst out. He suddenly gritted his teeth and became angry with embarrassment.
The courtiers present were already mentally prepared. It was obvious that when the assassin looked at Ji Sunsu, they couldn't help but turn pale in horror and take a breath of cold air.
This thing is too big!
The person behind the assassination of Li Ran was Ji Sunsu. So the person behind the assassination of the prince was also Ji Sunsu? !
Everyone hurriedly looked at the false prince sitting on the throne.
But what they didn't expect was that the prince laughed at this time, with a very ironic laughter that echoed in the hall for a while.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
This kind of laughter was so terrifying that even Shusun Bao's hair stood on end and his scalp was numb.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I have absolutely nothing to do with this person! This person framed this old minister like this. Your Highness the Crown Prince must make the decision for me!"
What these ministers didn't expect was that Ji Sunsu was actually asking the crown prince to take leave to make the decision for him.
This made Meng Sunjie on the side immediately stunned: You sent someone to assassinate the prince, and you actually let the prince make the decision for you. Do you think that the prince is a young man or something like that? Playing like a monkey?
Uncle Sunbao also looked at him with a frown, wondering if this person had lost his mind and gone crazy. Now, asking the prince to make the decision, isn't this a naked humiliation of the prince?
But how did he know that Ji Sunsu's move could be described as the most brilliant move at the moment!
Even Li Ran couldn't help but admire this old fox.
Li Ran knew clearly that with the identification of the assassin, it was almost clear that Ji Sunsu was the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince.
But at this time, if Ji Sunsu used his power in the Lu State to forcefully deny the matter and not give the prince any face, then in the eyes of these courtiers, he would be completely treasonous.
After all, putting the facts first, even if you want to deny it, you can't completely ignore the prince's face.
Obviously Ji Sunsu is not stupid.
He did not use his power in the Lu State to coerce the court. Instead, he lowered his stance and begged the false prince to make the decision for him.
In this way, even if he is really the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince, even if all this is true, as long as he begs for mercy in every possible way and refuses to admit it, the prince cannot force him to do anything.
After all, the first one is fake, and the second one is not the culprit who assassinated the prince.
Therefore, neither he nor Li Ran had conclusive evidence to prove that he had indeed assassinated the prince.
When the whole thing developed to this point, Ji Sunsu showed weakness to the prince and begged the prince to make the decision for him. This was the best outcome that Li Ran could control.
But at this moment, the second assassin who was brought in, knowing that he had no chance of survival, took one last look at Shusun Bao, and actually bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot without saying a word!
Because he knew that just when he was in a panic, he said "Doctor Ji Sun" that seemed to be in love, which would have caused a huge disaster for his lord. At this time, he could not avoid death.
At this time, committing suicide out of fear of crime was the best outcome for him and Ji Sunsu.
This time, the courtiers present were really surprised, and they all froze on the spot and were at a loss.
Ji Sunsu, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his originally tense expression suddenly relaxed.
The fake prince was a little confused. After all, this person was the most critical witness. At this time, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. How could they continue to accuse Ji Sunsu of committing rebellion? So he hurriedly looked at Li Ran.
"It seems that this person is willing to die to keep the person behind the scenes."
Li Ran's voice sounded very disappointed.
The false prince understood the sound and immediately sighed:
"Doctor Jisun, no matter who sent this assassin, the doctor is still somewhat suspicious today. Please don't go out in the next few days."
There is no proof of death, big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things.
The counterattack against Ji Sunsu suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Shu Sunbao was about to speak when he heard the sound, but saw the look on Li Ran's face and immediately chose to shut up.
He was very confused as to why he let Ji Sunsu go so easily. Today was the best time. If he missed a single hit, there would be endless trouble!
But Li Ran didn't give him a chance to speak. He just listened to Li Ran say:
"Lord Jisun, I am just a white-headed traveler with no status and no status. I am able to enter the Hantai Palace only because of this assassin. It is really ridiculous to say that."
"However, even though he has a white head, he still has eyes and limbs, and his mental understanding is no worse than that of other adults. Your Excellency has some methods that can be used to deal with others, but you should not use them against me in the future, right? As the saying goes, You should keep a thin line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future, right?"
Thus, the third stage of counterattack finally came to an end.
