boom……
The medicine jar was smashed out by Ji Ping.
But Cao Cao dodged it sideways and dodged it.
Ji Ping also had a short knife hidden on his body. While smashing out the medicine jar, he drew the knife out of its sheath and killed Cao Cao.
The bedroom suddenly became chaotic.
Cao Cao also had some strength. When he saw Ji Ping coming towards him, he sidestepped the dagger and hit Ji Ping's chest with his elbow, grabbing the dagger.
Ji Ping was beaten to the ground.
When Cao Ang saw this, he shouted angrily and stepped on Ji Ping's chest to prevent him from getting up.
Xu Chu, who was outside, heard the commotion and immediately came in to control Ji Ping.
Chen Zhou, whose combat power was only five, did not participate in such fighting and killing, but just stood aside and watched them do it.
The commotion in the bedroom quickly subsided.
Mrs. Ding and the others could not imagine that such a scene would happen again. They were all frightened and didn't know what to do.
Cao Cao asked them all to go down, leaving only Chen Zhou, Cao Ang and others. After exercising just now, the headache felt much better. He strode towards Ji Ping and said calmly: "Mr. Ji, I just asked you to try the medicine. , why did you have such a big reaction?”
Ji Ping stared at Cao Cao angrily and cursed: "Thief Cao, you will not die well!"
Cao Cao said: "I may not die well, but you will definitely die before me."
After a pause, he continued: "Zhongkang, let Zilian lead the army and control all the family members of Imperial Physician Ji. In addition..."
He found a lot of medicine from Ji Ping's medicine box, but he didn't know which ones were poisonous and which ones were not. He continued: "The medicines given by Doctor Ji are all good. We boiled them all together and gave them to his family."
"Thief Cao!"
Hearing that Cao Cao wanted to mess with his own family, Ji Ping couldn't tell how excited he was, and said viciously: "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go."
"I have killed so many people. If people can really turn into ghosts and come back to seek revenge on me, wouldn't it be enough for me to die a hundred times?"
Cao Cao sneered and said: "It's possible that even a ghost is afraid of my evil spirit and takes me away!"
Ji Ping continued to yell.
Cao Cao ignored him and Ji Ping was quickly dragged down by Xu Chu's men.
"Lord, are you okay?"
Xun Yu and the others finally came in and asked with concern.
"It's okay for now, I won't die yet."
Cao Cao said: "Du Zhi's next plan is about to begin. As for how to deal with Yuan Shao, we will discuss it after the plan is implemented. You can go back first!"
"Lord, take care of yourself!"
Guo Jia expressed concern: "The problem of head wind should not be taken lightly."
He and Cao Cao had a very good relationship in private.
"Fengxiao is sincere. Zixiu has arranged for someone to find Hua Tuo, but I don't know where Hua Tuo is."
Cao Cao said.
Once they heard this, they could indeed feel relieved.
The counselors left quickly.
Cao Hong also went to capture Jiping's family members and gave them medicine.
"Du Zhi, I made you guess right again."
Cao Cao said with admiration: "After the hunt, Zixiu mentioned this to me. I didn't quite believe it, but today... Du is so awesome! Haha..."
Really, there is nothing that Chen Zhou doesn't know.
Chen Zhou could predict even such a thing, and his methods were like those of a god.
"I also heard Dong Cheng mention it, and then I thought it would be like this."
Chen Zhou said modestly: "I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
Cao Ang smiled and said: "Sir, you are humble again."
Cao Cao asked: "What do you think Du Zhi should do with Ji Ping?"
"Just kill him casually, but you can bring him to the court and torture Ji Ping to shock the ministers and make them frightened, and also let the emperor see what the master's methods are like."
Chen Zhou said.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt that this approach was very suitable for him, and Chen Zhou was very happy with him.
Although it is a bit cruel, Cao Cao likes to be so cruel.
"Come here, tell the emperor that I will go to court tomorrow." Cao Cao said loudly.
Let’s put aside the troublesome matters for now.
Chen Zhou asked about the genealogy. The genealogy coming back from Zhuojun was still on the way and would have to wait for a few more days.
Then let Liu Bei live a little longer.
There is also the matter of Guan Yu. They have not made any progress. Guan Yu escaped that day and seemed to have disappeared. Even Liu Bei could not contact him.
——
Ji Ping left the Dong family and there has been no news.
Dong Cheng and the others waited all night, and it was not until they went to court the next day that they saw Ji Ping, who had been tortured, being dragged to the court by Cao Cao.
In the court, Cao Cao interrogated who he was and ordered Ji Ping to poison him.
The people who participated in the planning of this incident were covered in cold sweat in the court, on pins and needles, and were extremely afraid. Fortunately, Ji Ping was a tough guy and would not talk about it even if he was beaten to death. Cao Cao continued to torture Ji Ping.
The beating lasted for more than an hour until Ji Ping's bones and flesh were rotten and blood flowed all over the floor.
Liu Bei and others looked pale.
Liu Xie was also trembling and terrified. Seeing Cao Cao showing such ferocious fangs, he was afraid that he would be bitten to pieces by Cao Cao next moment. But when he saw Ji Ping who was beaten half to death, he couldn't bear it and said: " Cao Sikong, why don't we just let it go? This is just Ji Ping's personal behavior."
Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will forget it. Someone will drag Ji Ping down and clean the ground again."
Throughout the palace, Cao Cao's orders were more effective than Liu Xie's.
Seeing Liu Bei and others gnashing their teeth at such a power grab.
However, Liu Bei was more envious.
Cao Cao added: "I am a great man. I killed Li Jue and Guo Bin, pacified Runan in Xuzhou, and defeated the tyrannical traitor Yuan Shu. Although my merits are not high, they are all for your majesty."
After a pause, his tone became more serious and he continued: "However, some people regard me as Dong Zhuo. First Guan Yu and then Ji Ping want to kill me. Your Majesty, do you think I deserve to die?"
Liu Xie said in a trembling voice: "Cao Sikong has worked hard and achieved great results. I can escape from the control of the traitor only because of Sikong's support. If Sikong deserves to die, not many people in the world deserve to be alive."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
Cao Cao added: "I thought that Your Majesty thought that I was Dong Zhuo and ordered someone to kill me."
Liu Xie must have thought this in his heart, but he didn't dare to do it yet. Hearing this, he almost couldn't even sit still, and immediately said: "Cao Sikong thinks that I am too narrow-minded. I still have to rely on Cao Sikong to pacify the world." .”
Cao Cao grinned and said with satisfaction: "Your Majesty can think so, I feel relieved. In addition, I have something to report. I want to promote some capable people. Please see it for your Majesty's review."
He sent a memorial to Liu Xie.
First, he frightened Liu Xie, and then asked for some powers from Liu Xie, gradually depriving him of his power and placing his own people. The more he used this method, the more he became more comfortable with it.
Usually Liu Xie would not dare to object in this situation.
Liu Xie opened Cao Cao's memorial and looked at it. He saw that it said that Xun Yu was promoted to Shangshu Ling and Chen Qun and others were promoted to official positions. If this memorial was approved, he would have less power around him and would be further marginalized.
"I... am sure!"
Liu Xiegang was frightened and did not dare to disagree.
Dong Cheng and the others were extremely guilty and afraid, and they did not dare to object. They could only gnash their teeth secretly.
