"I remember back then, I sent four cats to their neighbor's house."
"They were all cats in heat, but they kept meowing all day long."
"Why? Because they had no rats to catch! "
"What was it that scared away all the rats in the vicinity?"
"Obviously, it was a venomous snake!"
"That thing is much more intimidating to rats than cats!"
"In addition, Chong-er's room was very dry and the terrain was very high."
"In that case, the venomous snake couldn't climb up at all!"
"So, this venomous snake must have been put in by someone!"
"Also, after Chong-er passed away, I asked you to keep watch over his coffin."
"During the fourth period of the night, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep."
"Only you!"
When he said this, Cao Cao stared at Cao Pi as if he could see through everything in his heart.
On the other hand, Cao Pi was also unsettled. His eyes were filled with panic, but he did not say anything else.
He just looked at Cao Cao with bloodshot eyes and trembled all over, not saying a word.
Cao Cao continued to stare at him and said.
"At that time, I saw that you were restless and didn't sleep for a long time."
"Why? Because you were guilty!"
"How could you sleep peacefully when you were keeping watch over his coffin after killing someone?"
"And you slept in front of him. Most importantly, he was your own brother!"
"At this time, even the most ruthless person wouldn't be able to sleep!"
At this time, Cao Pi was already speechless.
But his bloodshot eyes were still filled with unwillingness!
At this time, Cao Cao asked Cao Pi again.
"Pi-er, what else do you have to say now?"
"Actually, this matter has been so long ago, I don't really care about it."
"So, as long as you tell the truth and admit your mistakes this time, I will forgive you."
"Then I can forgive you!"
Hearing this, Cao Pi instantly looked at Cao Cao and clenched his teeth so hard that blood came out. There was a heart-wrenching pain!
"Pi-er, did you kill Chong-er?"
Cao Pi was trembling all over. It was obvious that he was struggling internally.
But in the end, he shook his head violently.
"No! Brother Chong … I didn't kill him! "
In response, Cao Cao lightly chuckled as he continued to speak.
"Oh? Are you still unwilling to admit it? "
"Speak! Did you kill Chong-er or not?! "
Cao Cao's expression suddenly became extremely stern. He almost pulled out his sword!
Cao Pi was also shocked. After trembling for a while, he still spoke.
"No! I didn't kill Brother Chong! "
"You still won't admit it. I think you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
"Speak! Did you kill Chong-er?! "
"As long as you tell me the truth, I can still spare your life!"
"But if you continue to be so obstinate, then I'll have no choice but to kill you with my own hands!"
"No! Brother Chong … I didn't kill him! "
"The venomous snake … I didn't release it …"
"I don't know anything!"
Cao Pi's hair was disheveled, and he looked like a demonic old priest who had gone mad.
No matter how Cao Cao interrogated him, he still refused to speak.
He refused to admit to his crimes!
This was also why Cao Cao admired Cao Pi the most.
Cao Pi also understood what Cao Cao was thinking.
No matter what happened, he couldn't admit to it!
Once he admitted to it, everything he did would be for naught!
Furthermore, even though Cao Cao said that he would forgive him as long as Cao Pi spoke the truth.
But in reality, this would be the final test he gave Cao Pi.
If Cao Pi really spoke the truth, then he would be in deep trouble!
Cao Pi naturally knew this, so he would never admit to it!
Furthermore, this was perhaps the part of Cao Pi that resembled Cao Cao the most.
Refusing to admit to his crimes!
This was also why Cao Cao valued Cao Pi the most.
"You unfilial son! To think that you still won't admit to it! "
"What a despicable and shameless fellow! How did I give birth to a son like you! "
"Not only did you kill your own brother, you even refused to admit to it!"
"This kind of character is truly detestable!"
"I will ask you one last time, did you kill Chong 'er?"
"If you don't say it this time, I will kill you!"
As he said this, Cao Cao drew his sword, as though he was going to kill Cao Pi.
"Pi-er, do you think that I can't kill you just because I am old?"
"Even though my head was in a mess just now, it is still very easy for me to kill you now!"
In response, Cao Pi lowered his head and shook his head while trembling.
"Father … No matter what you say, I didn't kill Brother Chong!"
"I have said before that I didn't kill Brother Chong, so I didn't kill him!"
This time, Cao Cao finally nodded his head indifferently, kept his sword, and slowly sat back down.
He stared at Cao Pi with murky eyes and said softly.
"Very good! Impressive! "
Cao Pi was puzzled.
"Even after being interrogated like this, you still refuse to admit to it."
"To be able to do this, you are truly impressive!"
"Father … what are you saying?"
"Come here."
Cao Cao called Cao Pi over and looked at him strangely.
"Pi-er, you really didn't kill your brother!"
Cao Pi's heart moved, but on the surface, he nodded his head slowly.
Even now, Cao Pi still didn't let down his guard and fear.
Before he could confirm that Cao Cao had truly let down his guard, he didn't believe that a miracle could happen.
This undoubtedly made Cao Cao admire the former even more.
"Since you didn't do anything wrong, I naturally won't kill you."
Cao Pi was startled and said tentatively.
"Father … you won't kill me?"
"Of course, not only will I not kill you, I will also inherit the throne to you!"
The moment these words came out, Cao Pi was instantly dumbfounded, and it took him a while to recover!
What! Father actually wants to pass the throne to me?!
Cao Pi was extremely excited, and even his expression was a little strange.
"Father … you aren't joking, right …"
"You are …"
Cao Cao's expression didn't change at all as he continued speaking.
"Pi-er, father is about to die."
"Do you think that before this, I will still joke with you?"
"Alright, let's not talk about this first."
Cao Cao looked deeply at Cao Pi and said sternly.
"With an emperor like you and a meritorious minister like Sima Yi."
"The great undertaking of our Cao Clan, I can rest assured that it will be in your hands."
"But there is one thing you must remember!"
At this moment, Cao Cao's tone became rather stern.
He looked as if he was going to make arrangements for his death.
Cao Pi also saw this and hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"Sima Yi is a genius in the world, you must use him!"
"Now that Bai Feng and Liu Bei have joined forces to attack us, I don't have much time left."
"Without Sima Yi's assistance, you won't be a match for Liu Bei and Bai Feng!"
"But there is one thing you must remember!"
Cao Pi asked.
"Father, what exactly is that?"
"You must use Sima Yi, but you must also be wary of him!"
"Remember, you must be wary of him!"
At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, causing Cao Pi to tremble.
"I will remember!"
"I will always remember!"
"I will always remember!"
"Okay …"
