Chapter 383: The fifth person behind the scenes

Lin Ru knew very well that the remaining suspect was himself, after all, he had mastered the Huiji camp at this time, and more than half of the elite soldiers of Dachu were concentrated there.

Once something happens to his father, he can also rely on the army in his hands to directly lead the army back to take over Yuzhang City and become the biggest beneficiary.

Chen Zhi actually understood this very well, but at this time he said loudly: "In fact, there is another person who is also possible, and the last general thinks that he is the biggest suspect!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Rust's eyes couldn't help but flash, and he looked at Chen Zhi and asked coldly, "Who is it?"

"Second son Lin Feng!"

What an unexpected name, Lin Rust's brows furrowed instantly after hearing this, and his face changed slightly inadvertently. Lu Ping's face also changed, but none of them made a sound, they all looked at Chen Zhi quietly, waiting for his next analysis.

"Although the four people mentioned by General Lu are the most suspicious, according to the last general, the poisoning of the prince this time is definitely not the work of any of them!

Let's talk about His Royal Highness the Prince first.

Now it is obvious that the prince already knows the mastermind of the poisoning, and the prince still gives the right to temporarily supervise the country to His Royal Highness the prince today, which shows that His Royal Highness the prince can never be the mastermind.

And Donglai Sushang and Baling Xiao Milling, they are suspicious, and that is because they both want to seize the territory and land of Great Chu.

However, if this matter was really done by one of them, then they would definitely spread the news of the poisoning of the prince as soon as possible, and then use the scouts to add fuel to the fire, thus inciting civil strife in Dachu.

In addition, at the same time, the army was mobilized to make all preparations for invasion, once the matter was successful and the Great Chu was in chaos, its army would attack with thunder and invade in a big way.

But until now, more than ten days have passed since the prince was poisoned, but the scouts of these two families, Nei Ying and the others, still have not moved, and our scouts have not found any abnormal movements of the armies of these two families.

From these, it seems that the poisoning of the prince could not be the work of any of them. ”

Chen Zhi eliminated all of the four suspects listed by Lu Ping in one go, but he only analyzed three of them, and the rest of the other person, he also kept silent.

But they both knew that the rest of the man couldn't be either. Otherwise, it would not only be the 3,000 cavalry that returned to Yuzhang County this time, but the 100,000 troops of the Huiji battalion. ”

Chen Zhi paused, and then continued to analyze: "There is one more point that can also be excluded from them.

For the four of them, no matter which one of them made the shot, the success of the operation was the result they wanted most. After all, only if the action is successful, can they finally make a profit, otherwise they will only startle the snake, let the prince be prepared, and waste an important internal response in vain.

So the question is, since they all want to succeed and let the attending doctor honestly take poison and commit suicide after poisoning the prince, then why do they choose the troublesome method of poisoning, but the success rate is not high, instead of choosing the easier and more direct close-range assassination? ”

Chen Zhi's point of view is reasonable, and it is three points, Lu Ping's face changed for a while after hearing this, and his previous analysis was also violently shaken.

Chen Zhi is right, this method of poisoning is indeed very troublesome, and its probability of success is also very low.

After all, as the lord of a country, his daily security measures must be very strict, whether he is drinking medicine or eating other things, there will inevitably be someone to try it first.

Therefore, if you want to successfully poison the prince, the difficulty is not ordinary, and you can't choose arsenic, which can be highly effective quickly.

Therefore, if the attending doctor wants to succeed, he can only use pharmacological restraint methods to continuously poison in a not short period of time.

And decocting medicine for the prince is his only chance. Every time he decocted the medicine, he could secretly add some special medicinal materials, as long as the amount was small and did not affect the effect of the original medicine soup, it would be difficult for other doctors to notice.

After a period of time, the special medicine has accumulated enough medicinal properties in the body of the prince, and then the medicine that is compatible with it is added to the medicinal soup, thus causing pharmacological conflicts in the body of the prince, turning the drug into poison and taking the life of the prince.

However, while effective, these methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and easy to spot.

And even if the poisoning is successful, the final result will not necessarily be satisfactory to them. After all, the toxicity produced in the patient's body by a variety of drugs is generally not too violent, as long as it is found in time and the measures are appropriate, the poisoned person can still be treated, and the poisoning of the prince is the best example.

In contrast, a close burst assassination is much more straightforward and effective.

Since the attending doctor can get close to the prince, and there are still a lot of contacts, as long as he carries out the task with the determination to die, then he can suddenly burst out and assassinate the prince when he is in close contact.

Moreover, based on his size and strength, he could have successfully assassinated the prince before his close guards reacted.

For these, Lin Ru also quickly figured it out, and at this time he was infinitely inclined to agree with Chen Zhi's analysis.

As Chen Zhi said, no matter which one of the four people chooses to make a move, he will definitely choose the more direct and effective method of assassination at close range, even if he himself will not be an exception.

After all, once you decide to make a move, only if the action is successful, you and others may get the benefits you want.

"Actually, this effect is what the second son wants the most!"

Chen Zhi paused for a while, and after Lin Rust and the two of them had digested it, he spoke up again, "As the son of the world, the eldest prince is naturally a candidate to inherit Dachu, and he has a large number of civil and military generals around him, and his strength is strong.

As for the general, you are also a military wizard, and you have made a lot of contributions to Da Chu. General, you have not only won the recognition of the generals in the army, and your prestige in the army is very high, but also the love of the prince, and at this time you have an elite army of 100,000, and you are also a powerful candidate to inherit Dachu.

As for the second son, he has neither the identity of the head nor much military talent, and even the prince is very average to him, so he has not been able to gather any talents around him, and he has no strength.

Therefore, if the second prince also wants to inherit Da Chu, then he will eliminate His Royal Highness the prince and the general first.

But his strength is insufficient, and if he is tough, he is not the opponent of you, the Great General, and any of His Royal Highnesses the Prince, so at this time, it is his best choice to keep a low profile, hide behind the scenes, and secretly develop behind the scenes, and at the same time provoke the infighting between you and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
