I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 22
Of course, what Li Ran directed and acted was not just the scene of "assassination and arrest", there must be a confrontation.

However, it would be unconvincing to just testify that Ji Sunsu was the mastermind behind the scenes for no reason.

Therefore, in order to increase the credibility of the assassin's testimony, Li Ran had to question it himself.So that the assassin would confess to Ji Sunsu after a complicated psychological struggle.

Only in this way can everyone present believe that this testimony is true.

Therefore, the typical "coercion and temptation" interrogation methods came in handy.Even if everything in the body is singing.

When the assassin heard Li Ran's words, he was sweating profusely, his face turned pale for a moment, his eyes kept rolling, and his psychological struggle was already extremely intense.

But Li Ran hasn't finished talking yet.

I saw him pacing back and forth beside the assassin, while saying very cautiously:

"An assassin who misses is determined not to survive the next day. Come to think of it, you know better than anyone else? The so-called cutting grass must be uprooted. If you die, then your family will have no need to continue to live. It's nothing There's nothing more solid than a dead man's, isn't it?"

"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 promise you a thousand gold here, and you will definitely be able to protect your family."

The prince is here, who would dare to make a mistake?

This kind of temptation is obviously more important than money. After all, living with one's life is the main theme of this era.

What's more, it's not the assassin's life, but his family's life, so this kind of promise is even more tempting.

Sure enough, when the assassin heard this, he was immediately "shaken".

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness, is what this person said really true?"

If he had done enough acting, he still had to get the prince's personal promise.

Of course the false prince said in a smooth manner:
"Well, I didn't want to be a guarantor, but now that Li Ran has said so, in front of civil and military officials, I will protect your family."

"Now can you tell the widow who ordered you to assassinate the widow?"

The atmosphere in Hantai Palace was extremely tense for a while.

Because everyone knows what the assassin will say next, it is very likely to shake the ruling and opposition parties in the entire Lu Kingdom!But at this moment, Li Ran still didn't see any waves on his face.

Seeing the expression on Li Ran's face, Ji Sunsu felt even more uneasy.

"Sure enough!"

"This Zhuzi, really underestimated you!"

Ji Sunsu cursed secretly.But at this time, this kind of curse obviously has no effect, because the assassin has turned his head to look at him.

The assassin looked at Ji Sunsu and said:

"Doctor Ji Sun..."

"Presumptuous! This old man has never met you before! Why did you frame this old man!"

Before the assassin could finish speaking, Ji Sunsu jumped into a rage and pointed at the assassin's nose and shouted.

Seeing the assassin's appearance, everyone in the hall was also shocked, and hurriedly cast unbelievable glances at Ji Sunsu.

As for Shusun Bao and Li Ran, they stood aside in leisure and watched the good show unfold.

"Doctor Ji Sun, this is the end of the matter, I..."

Obviously, this line was also arranged by Li Ran.

Don't look at the fact that there are only nine words in this line, and don't look at the fact that the assassin doesn't seem to have said anything, but it is precisely because he doesn't seem to say anything that his words say everything in the eyes of everyone.

What does it mean that things have come to this point?Why did the assassin hesitate to speak?Isn't it obvious enough that all the words have come to this point?

It gives the illusion that this assassin dared not testify against Ji Sunsu because he was afraid of Ji's power?Isn't his hesitant appearance like this just a manifestation of his fear of Ji's family and the fear of his wife and children being silenced?
As a result, the court was in an uproar!
"No way? Dr. Ji Sun really did it!"

"I can't believe it, but I dare not believe it!"

There were not many courtiers on Shu Sunbao's side, but all of them spoke at this time, which was enough to shake the entire Hantai Palace.

Seeing this situation, the courtiers at Ji Sunsu's side took a step back involuntarily, where they dared to speak.I'm afraid that I might have something to do with Ji Sunsu.

Even Meng Sunjie was staring at Ji Sunsu with a look of horror at this moment, his eyes full of disbelief.

He didn't believe that Ji Sunsu was so confused, and he didn't believe that Ji's family would be so reckless. Not to mention the assassination miss, he was caught by the prince. Isn't this courting death?
But Ji Sunsu was in such a mess today, it was enough for Meng Sunjie to feel that this guy was going to have a big fall today.

"Doctor Ji Sun, don't you have anything to say to the widow?"

The fake prince spoke at the right time, his face was extremely gloomy, and the dark clouds squeezed under his two eyebrows were piled up, everyone knew that this was the prelude to the coming storm.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister really doesn't know this person, let alone why this person is so slanderous! The old minister's loyalty to the prince can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no conspiracy!"

"This... this is clearly a frame-up! A frame-up!"

Of course Ji Sunsu didn't know this person, but if he revealed that it was Li Ran and Shu Sunbao who instigated this person to frame him, it would appear that he was in a panic and gave the courtiers the feeling that he had been driven to the cliff edge feeling.

As old as he is, how can he fail to see that this is a conspiracy between Li Ran and Uncle Sun Bao?But in the face of this situation, no matter how clear he was in his heart, he couldn't say it out.

Because he knew that Uncle Sunbao had no motive to assassinate the prince, and secondly, he didn't have the strength. In addition, Shusunbao was only released yesterday, so it was impossible to suspect him due to emotion and reason.

Even if this is the truth, once he got the point, he immediately accused the assassin that Li Ran and Shu Sunbao had arranged to frame him, so in the eyes of these courtiers, this was the sign of him rushing to the doctor in a hurry.

"Oh? You said it was a frame? But why didn't he frame someone else, but why did he frame you?"

Li Ran opened his mouth 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 Huan even gathered together.

This assassin did not testify against anyone, but you, Ji Sunsu, are there any problems?
"Hmph! If you want to commit a crime! There is nothing to worry about!"

"The old man behaved well and sat upright. If he said he had never assassinated the prince, then he had never assassinated the prince!"

Ji Sunsu knew that he could not give Li Ran any more openings at this time, so he continued to firmly deny it.He is very clear that there is no conclusive evidence for this matter after all, as long as he does not admit it, then he will not be convicted.

Of course, many ministers present did not really believe the assassin's testimony in their hearts.After all, Ji Sunsu's own strength is still there.

Powerful people believe everything they say.

"Oh?... Doctor Ji Sun, how can you prove your innocence?"

The fake prince looked at the expression on Li Ran's face. According to the previous plan, he also knew that this matter could only be a bluff, and it was not appropriate to chase too hard, so he immediately frowned and asked.

Hearing the sound, Ji Sunsu hurriedly bowed and said:
"The spirit of the former monarch is above all, even if you give ten courage to the old minister, the old minister will never dare to do such a rebellious thing!"

"The old minister suddenly heard yesterday that the prince was assassinated, and he sent his servants to search for the assassin. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. How dare he send someone to harm the prince? What's more... what's more, no matter how confused the old minister is, he won't treat the prince at the right time Not good!"

This last sentence is the key.

His tearful performance is also impeccable, and the last sentence that resembles self-destruction further proves the credibility of his words.

Indeed, even if he was in a hurry to eradicate Prince Ye, he would not choose to do it at such a time. After all, the first assassination failed, wouldn't it be foolish to try again?
Who doesn't know that the defense around the prince is already heavily guarded, and even a fly can't get close to the prince's body!Wouldn't it be self-inflicted to send assassins to assassinate at this time?
Hearing the sound, the fake prince nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Li Ran and said:
"Li Ran, I think what Dr. Ji Sun said has some truths."

"Really?"

"The grassroots feel that this is inappropriate!"

Just when all the officials felt that Ji Sunsu's defense had some truth, Li Ran's answer was suddenly reversed, which greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present.

"What does this person mean?! The prince has said that Dr. Ji Sun's words are trustworthy, but you are white, but what can you care about?"

"It's simply presumptuous! When will it be the turn of a commoner in the Hantai Palace to speak nonsense here!"

"Don't worry, just listen to what he has to say."

Because of the assassin's testimony just now, even among Ji's cronies, many people have already become suspicious of Ji Sunsu.

And this, which is Li Ran's second phase plan, seems to have succeeded at this time.

What Li Ran wanted was not to completely bring down Ji Sunsu.What he wanted was to make people suspicious of Ji Sunsu!What we want is this atmosphere, and if the atmosphere is enhanced to this level, this matter will soon be completed.

Thus, the third phase of the plan came into being.

"By the way, Caomin has another coincidence here. I don't know if you adults are interested in hearing it."

As Li Ran spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd in the hall, and finally fell on Ji Sunsu's face.

At this time, Ji Sunsu's old face was full of anger, although he restrained it several times, it still swelled in his eyes, and it was certain that his eyes would burst out.

His hatred for Li Ran had reached its peak, but he couldn't get it right now, so he could only stare at Li Ran.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

The fake prince pushed the boat along again.Then I saw Li Ran winking at Shusun Bao, who waved again, and three Lu Palace guards escorted another person into Hantai Palace.

After the man knelt on the ground, Li Ran introduced to everyone present:

"My lords, do you still remember that Caomin said yesterday that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in the palace for the first time, Caomin was also assassinated in Qufu City, but Caomin was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe."

"And this person is the assassin who was captured alive by the grass people and others. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people outside the alley by the Xialiu River. When they came out of that alley that day, the people who were watching But a lot."

After Li Ran's voice fell, Ji Sunsu's heart skipped a beat.

He did not 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 assassinate Li Ran!He never expected that he was 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, this was a fatal blow to him!
terrible!

This person set up bureaus, intertwined with each other, leaving no flaws at all!

This Li Ran is simply not human!
