Ji Ping didn't have the slightest intention of begging for mercy, and Cao Cao didn't think it was necessary, so he asked people to take it down first. Everyone dispersed, but the four of them were left behind by Cao Cao, who originally had a ghost in his heart, so he was naturally so frightened that his soul did not possess his body.

Cao Cao had already judged the truth of the matter, so he said: "I shouldn't have left the four of you behind, but there are some things I'm really curious about, so let's talk about it, I've been discussing something with my uncle Dong Cheng recently, let me know too, and advise you." ”

The prince served: "The prime minister is too worried, we just went to Dong Cheng's house to drink, and we didn't discuss anything." ”

Cao Cao said: "I heard that you are writing in white silk, are you discussing this?" ”

Wang Zifu and the others kept silent, and Cao Cao called Dong Cheng's servants out to confront him.

Wang Zifu asked, "Where did you see that white silk?" ”

Qingtong said: "You deliberately avoided everyone that day, and six people signed in one place, do you still want to deny it?" ”

The prince defended: "It is said that this person committed adultery with the maid of the uncle's house, and after being punished, he was unhappy and came out to frame the uncle and us, and I hope the prime minister will not listen to his words." ”

Cao Cao said: "If this is the case, Ji Ping is a healer, how could he come to kill me with poison, if it wasn't for Uncle Guo's instigation, I really can't think of others." ”

Wang Zifu and the others pretended not to know about this matter, and there was no need to answer.

Cao Cao said angrily: "You surrender tonight, I can spare your life, if I wait until I find out the evidence, then you will have a good look." ”

Wang Zifu and others knew that this kind of thing was death if they admitted it, and if they didn't admit that there was always a glimmer of life, they continued to defend themselves, saying that they didn't know about Ji Ping's matter, but they really didn't know, so Cao Cao asked the jailers to detain all four of Wang Zifu.

On the second day, Cao Cao took everyone to visit his uncle Dong Cheng's house in person.

Dong Cheng knew that Cao Cao was coming, so he hurriedly went out of the house to greet him personally.

Cao Cao saw that the other party could still walk, and he was in good shape, not like he was sick, and his tone was more blameful, and said, "Why didn't you pretend to be sick at the banquet I held last night?"

Dong Chengdao: "My illness is not completely cured, and I am afraid of recurrence, so I didn't come out." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I see that your illness is worrying about the country's major affairs." ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Cheng felt very dazed, and began to have doubts in his heart.

Cao Cao continued: "So does Uncle Guo know what happened at the banquet last night? Especially the story of that Jiping. ”

Dong Cheng shook his head and said he didn't know.

Cao Cao sneered: "This kind of thing, I think Uncle Guo knows better than anyone else." ”

Although Dong Cheng was flustered in his heart, he still clung to it, but he didn't know.

Cao Cao knew that this would be the result, and said with a smile: "It seems that Uncle Guo will not admit it, it's okay, I'll help you recall." After speaking, he asked the left and right to bring Ji Ping over, ready to see his uncle Dong Cheng,

Dong Cheng thought about what the result would be, but after seeing Ji Ping, he was still at a loss. Ji Ping was dragged down the stairs by the jailer, and when he saw him, he scolded: "Traitor Cao Cao! ”

Cao Cao pointed at Dong Cheng and said, "This person was attached to the prince and the other four people before, and I have already taken them down and sent them to Tingwei." Now there is one more person, who has not been caught. ”

So he began to interrogate Ji Ping and said, "Who wants you to poison me?" You can summon it quickly, and you can avoid death! ”

Ji Ping still had the same attitude, and said: "God asked me to kill the traitor!" ”

Cao Cao was furious and asked the jailer to serve the criminal law, but Ji Ping did not have a complete place on his body, and there was no way to be punished again.

Dong Cheng watched from the side, his heart was like a knife, and there was nothing he could do.

Cao Cao asked Ji Ping again, "Why are you missing a finger?" ”

Ji Ping said: "I ate it, and swore to the sky to kill the national thief!" ”

Cao Cao ordered someone to take the knife and cut off all the rest of his fingers in front of Dong Cheng, Ji Ping's bones were very hard, but he didn't frown, Cao Cao said: "I'll cut it off with you now, do you still swear!" ”

Ji Ping said: "It doesn't matter, I still have a mouth to swallow a thief, and a tongue to scold a thief!" Cao Cao had his tongue cut out.

Ji Ping said: "Wait first, I really can't get through it, I want to confess, you untie the rope for me first." ”

Ji Ping was basically half-dead, and he was not afraid of him escaping when he untied the rope, so Cao Cao asked people to untie him.

Ji Ping stood up and bowed to the sky, shouting: "I can't get rid of the traitor for the country, this is the destiny of heaven!" After worshipping, he quickly crashed into the top of the stairs and died on the spot.

Cao Cao shook his head, and had to order Ji Ping's body to be divided and then put on display, hoping to use this way to deter some forces who opposed him.

Cao Cao saw that Ji Ping was dead, so he asked the left and right to bring out another witness, that is, Dong Cheng attached his servant Qin Qingtong.

Cao Cao asked, "You can't fail to know this person, right?" ”

When Dong Cheng saw it, he knew the reason, and said angrily: "This is my family's fury, I want to kill him immediately!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "He reported to me the rebellion, and now he is using it to testify, who dares to kill him?" ”

Dong Chengdao: "Does the prime minister want to listen to the words of this fugitive slave?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The prince's suit has been captured by me, and the news has just come that they have all confessed, what else do you have to deny?" After speaking, he sent the left and right to take it down, and then ordered someone to search Dong Cheng's bedroom, and found the blood book of the emperor, so that the facts of Dong Cheng's rebellion were clear.

Cao Cao read the blood book and laughed: "A group of rats, where do you have the courage to do such a thing!" So he ordered: "Arrest and put all the other people in Dong Cheng's family, regardless of men, women, and children, into prison, and don't let anyone get away." ”

This incident aroused Cao Cao's vigilance, and after he returned, he found all the strategists to discuss, preparing to abolish the emperor and support the new monarch, hoping that everyone would suggest a candidate.

Cheng Yujin admonished: "The reason why the Ming Duke can shock the Quartet and command the world is because of the name of serving the Han family, now the princes are in chaos, and if they go to a round of abolition of the emperor, they will definitely raise troops again, and when the time comes, not only Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, but also Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Ma Teng in Xiliang, will regard Ming Gong as an enemy, so the situation will be very critical." ”

Although this incident made Cao Cao very angry, the current battle situation still calmed him down, so he sent Dong Cheng and the prince a total of five people, as well as their family members, domestic servants, wives and concubines, all escorted to various places in Xu Capital to be beheaded, a total of more than 700 people died that day, and the officials and people in the city met and talked about this matter, and there was no one who did not cry.

So the edict incident started with the leak of a domestic servant, and no one else ended well.
